Kurapika's fashion sense

Kaita and Kurapika arrived at the men's clothing store in record time after their little…problem…with the swords. Kurapika silently gulped, fearing for his sanity! His growing sense of dread only grew when Kaita turned around and grinned at him.

"Woah!" said Kurapika as Kaita practically dragged him into the store.

"May I help you miss?" asked the attendant.

"Yes, I'm trying to find some halfway cool clothes for my friend here."

The attendant took one glance at Kurapika's outfit and said, "Let me guess, he likes cosplay too much?"

"Something to that affect, yes."

"Follow me please…" said the attendant as he led them into a colorful section of the store.

Clothes of all shapes, sizes, colors and designs were aligned in a neat, yet eloquent display. Kurapika whistled in amazement.

"If you'll have a seat right here, the seamstress will be with you momentarily…" said the attendant from force of habit.

They waited about a minute before she came up to them.

"Now what shall we try on first?" she said politely.

"Anything that isn't to gaudy will be fine…" said Kurapika.

The woman brought out several pairs of jeans and various shirts. Luckily for him, most of the jeans fit, though very few of them were actually comfortable.

The shirts on the other hand…

Almost every single one of them fit. A few were put to the side as possible choices, several were put out of the way, and a few were definite keepers as far as Kurapika was concerned! (Like the one Kurapika got a real laugh out of. The shirt read "Silence is golden, Duct tape is silver.")

"I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the shirt reminded you of someone back home…" snickered Kaita.

"Quite a few people actually…" said Kurapika. (Images flashed through his mind of 'said' people. They were: Leorio, Gon, Tompa, the overly-talkative ninja from the Hunters Exam, and surprisingly, Hisoka!)

Soon they were finished picking out the clothes. Kaita was highly impressed; normally men don't have a decent fashion sense! (Unless they were yaoi fans anyway.)

Kurapika was actually having fun…even though he was shopping! Kaita took out her card and ran it through the machine. (Kurapika gave a silent sigh of relief when it actually went through!) They left the store, with Kurapika's old clothes in one of the bags alongside his swords, with hungry and tired bodies. They headed to a pizzeria and got a couple of root beers and a large cheese pizza.

While they were waiting for their pizza to be ready, Kurapika finally dared to ask his friend a question that had been on his mind ever since she told him about it. Right before he could though, he noticed something odd.

"Kai-chan, is that YOUR wallet on the floor?" said Kurapika with surprise.

"What the…not again! Why don't they get a life and knock this nonsense off already!" said Kaita in annoyance. She checked the billfold, (which was empty to begin with), and then she checked the card slots. Kurapika's eyes widened when he realized her DUCC was missing!

"Figures…you might as well watch this, 'cause it's gonna be amusing!" said Kaita with an evil grin.

Kurapika was clueless as to what she was talking about when…BANG! A loud noise, similar to a gun firing off, is heard all down the street. Everyone, (except Kaita of course) stands up in shock trying to find where the noise came from! Kaita held back a laugh and gave Kurapika a look that said 'sit back down'. He did, and she showed him the card slot where the DUCC had been. Much to Kurapika's amazement, the card started to rematerialize in the slot.

"Woah…how did…?!"

"Let's just say that I paid extra when I got this card. For insurance against things like that from happening!"
