I apologize for having Chapter one twice. Thanks for reviewing! I wasn't sure whether to continue or not! This chapter is a little slow, so I apologize again. Kiri's POV makes an appearance!! It's easier to write from Narumi's POV… Whatever… Read and Review please!!
Disclaimer: I do not own Beauty Pop or any of its characters.
Still Narumi's POV.
My wrist hurts…
I gently rubbed it. It was so stiff…I needed more of that medicine Mussy Head had.
Maybe I could go over and ask for more…?
I shook my head at that. I didn't want to go over in the dark just for some medicine.
"What are you shaking your head at?" Kei asked as he pushed into my room. "I brought new snacks!"
I can't let Kei know that my wrist's hurt! Or that I was considering going to Mussy Head's…
"I…had a head ache…" I answered lamely. I walked away from the window and sat on my bed.
"oo hood'nt tink so mush!" Kei exclaimed. Sugary shrapnel flew from his mouth. I watched him swallow hard before even attempting to ask him to repeat himself.
"You shouldn't think so much! This scientist in America said that if you think too much about somebody, you lose brain shells!" he exclaimed.
Brain what?!
"Kei," Kazuhiko called from the doorway, "that would be brain cells. And just who is this doctor in America?"
Kei turned to him. "It's a scientist! Not a doctor! I don't know his name. I read it somewhere!"
I turned away from the stupid conversation. My wrist was really starting to throb now…
"And this scientist said…"
I zoned them out completely. I wanted to do something. But with my wrist I couldn't do much.
Crap…No drawing, no hair-cutting…I can't even practice the guitar! Maybe I should go get some more medicine…yeah…
bonk!
"Stop thinking about someone! Your head ache will get worse!" Kei cried.
"KEI! DON'T HIT ME YOU JERK! AND WHO SAID I WAS THINKING ABOUT SOMEONE!?"
"Well, you were! That's why you had a head ache!"
I glared at him. Kazuhiko had that same expression from earlier. It was almost accusing…
"WHATEVER! I'M LEAVING!"
My wrist is killing me…
Kiri's POV
"Here's your serving, Seiji-kun." I called from the table. My dad groaned as he sat down. He had been complaining about his arm all evening. Apparently, it had caused him to close the shop for the day. Unfortunately, that meant he had more time to analyze my cutting technique.
"I saw that your were practicing the wizard cut. You're getting better, but where you place the flip needs adjusting."
See?
"Your food is getting cold."
"And you can't really do a proper wizard cut without properly sharpened scissors. I understand that you cut hair a lot, but that's no excuse for them to get dull."
"Dad…I sharpened them yesterday. Now eat," I said. He nodded and picked up some rice.
Thank god…He's so picky today…I prefer when he's out with friends…
The rice fell to the plate.
Damn…Here comes more criticism…
"You know, maybe you should…"
ding dong
…? A visitor?
I got up.
"Ah-ah-ah. I'll get it. You eat." Seiji said. He groaned again as he got up.
I listened for the person at the door. It was too muffled to tell.
"Kiri! It's for you…"
I'm too tired to entertain someone…
"I don't wanna…" I yawned as I got up. I went anyway.
"Mussy head."
Crap.
"I'm not in the mood to talk to you, Naru-Naru," I yawned again.
I want juice…
I watched, as he grew red. What was he going to yell about this time? The Naru-Naru or that I wasn't in the mood to talk?
"YOU!" he sputtered.
"Me?"
Hurry up already…Your throwing off my evening schedule…
"WHERE?!" he tried again.
"When?" I shot back.
"HOW?!"
"This is getting old, Naru-Naru."
He jumped back.
Did I startle him?
"You're hurting my head…" he sighed.
He's not yelling…God, I'm tired…
"Sounds like a personal problem to me," I yawned. I started to turn away.
"Kiri! Wait!"
!!
"Hmm? What?"
He called me Kiri…
His face was so red…Was it from yelling? Or was he just embarrassed? But embarrassed from what?
"I ran out of medicine…" He trailed off.
Now my head hurt.
"I told you… I got it at the Seki clinic. You don't have to come here to get it."
He got redder. Was he still going to yell?
"Oh…I…I forgot."
"I have a spare though…" I said. I think I did.
Why is he so red? I wish I could finish my juice…
"Hold on…It's around here somewhere…" I murmured. I pushed aside some combs.
There it is…
"It's half empty…" I explained when I handed it to him.
Now…let me eat…
He looked at the used tube. It surprised me when he handed it back.
"Ah, I'll go to the Seki clinic. I have a head ache, too so…"
I shrugged.
His loss. He has to walk in the dark…
"DON'T SHRUG AT ME! TALK!" he shouted as I turned away.
Ah…Now that's the Naru-Naru I know…
I paused in the doorway to the hall.
"There's a scientist in America…" I said to him.
"What?! What are you spouting off this time?!" he yelled in frustration.
"The scientist says that if you think too much about somebody…you get head aches."
I looked back at him.
Should I smile?
I smiled.
"Yeah, yeah…Kei told me. You lose brains shells or whatever," he sighed as he looked up.
Brain shells?
"The Seki clinic closes in an hour…" I reminded him.
He looked at the clock on the wall.
"CRAP! See you, Mussy Head!" he yelled over his shoulder. I watched him run out.
What's up with Naru-Naru? He was so red…Whatever…I want my juice…"
This is exhausting! Kiri is so hard to write! Please, if you have any suggestions to make Kiri not so boring, by all means, suggest away!
