Chapter 5: In Which There Are Dresses
Throughout the meal, the Eastern Zodiac members were getting more comfortable with the members of the Western Zodiac. Of course, Ayame was the life of the party. But then Megan had to go and ask that question. That stupid, stupid question.
So Ayame, how's your shop doin'?" Megan asked. Ayame instantly brightened. He had come up with a new idea that involved Megan, KT and even Tohru.
"Very good…actually…I'll be right back…stay here." Ayame said with a mischievous grin before running outside.
"I don't like the sounds of this." KT groaned. Ayame suddenly burst in the rrom carrying what looked like a bundle of cloths.
"I have here my newest creations. And you lovely ladies will be my models." He said pointing at KT, Megan, and Tohru. He then gave each of them a dress. KT laid hers out on the table to look it over, while Megan held hers up.
"No." KT said simply, while crossing her arms over her chest.
"Why not?" Megan asked fiddling around with hers. Tohru also looked skeptically at hers but didn't say anything.
"Are you seeing this! It's ruffly…and PINK!" KT exclaimed "Is my eye twitching? I think it's twitching!"
"So what? My dress has glitter AND its ruffly!" Megan explained.
"So! Mine has bows dripping off almost every inch and it's lacy! How do you like them apples!" KT countered.
"Fine! I'll wear that one since you claim its worse, and you can wear this one. And by the way…I do like apples." Megan said handing her the dress. KT didn't reach out to take it.
"You still can't make me wear it." KT said defiantly. Megan sat back and bit her lip in thought. She had to find a way to make KT wear the dress. Megan was a little more accepting of dresses but these dresses were pushing it. They looked skin tight and seemed to come up to mid thigh or possibly higher. KT would have nothing to do with the dress. Maybe a bribe would work.
"If you wear it, I'll let you drive Moo." Megan said referring to her Chevy Malibu with a cow steering wheel cover. Henceforth, it was named Moo. KT scoffed.
"Pass." KT knew where this was going and she would not give in if it was the last thing she did. All the Sohmas were confused, but were enjoying this little scuffle.
"Ummmm….I'll buy you the Saiyuki season." Megan tried again. Megan smiled in confidence that she had finally snagged KT.
"Tempting but no." KT laughed. KT couldn't believe she turned down Sanzo (I can't either!), but wearing a dress in front of a pervy Shigure just wasn't worth it. Megan went slack jawed. She was sure she had her. Now it was time to play dirty. No way was she going to wear the dress and look like an idiot by herself.
"Fine, if you don't wear that dress, I shall inform Rich of your list of things to do before you die. Especially that little section about the twins." Megan grinned evilly.
"You wouldn't DARE!" KT fumed.
"Hello? Rich? KT wants to--!" Megan imitated a call to KT's step father before KT ripped the dress out of Megan's hands and stomped to an empty room.
"I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS TRISHA!" she yelled so loudly that the paper doors actually shook.
"Trisha?" Tohru questioned.
"Yeah it's my nickname. Long Story. Well I guess I'll go put this on." Megan said getting up and walking to a bathroom with Tohru going into another room to change.
KT had decided to not set foot outside the room with this dress. She was very tempted to rip the "thing" to shreds but since it wasn't hers, she couldn't. She looked down and the horrible waste of fabric. It had large, puffy, off the shoulder sleeves that ended with a large bow and lace. The skirt part was just one big thing of ruffles and was glittery. The upper body portion was relatively plain except for a large golden brooch, that if worn for excessive amounts of time, would probably make the wearer fall over. The dress ended just above the knees and the worst part was that it was pink. KT hated pink. Yes indeed, Megan was going to pay dearly for this.
Megan immediately regretted about putting this dress on. She never thought that that big of a bow would be possible. The whole thing looked like a maid costume. It was pink with a white apron. The apron was the laciest thing possible. It had a wide red sash and in the back, it tied into a how larger than her head. There were also more bows that had somehow been sewn into the apron. The very bottom of the skirt ended in a bazillion
little ruffles. The worst part, other than it being pink, was that it was poofy. Underneath the actual skirt, were a bunch of layers of fabric and gauze like material that served the sole purpose of making it poofy. Being that it was poofy, it ended at mid thigh.
"Oh God! Shigure's gonna have a field day." She said glancing in the mirror.
"Gloves too!" she questioned at the gloves on the floor. She slipped them on.
"Eewww!" she said laughing in disbelief. The gloves were white lace and ended midway on her upper arm.
"Well, I feel like a hooker." Megan told herself.
"Better get this over with." She groaned. She opened the door and walked out to find KT.
Megan stopped outside the door and knocked.
"KT are you ready?"
"There is no way in Hell that I am coming out!" She yelled from inside. Megan tried to open the door but KT had locked it. She was braced for war.
"Pwease? Its no fwun awone!" Megan pouted throwing in a few sniffles.
"Not doin' it!" KT yelled. Megan grumbled about her failure.
"Either I buy you Saiyuki or I have Shigure and Ayame come up here to get you!" Megan threatened. The door suddenly flew open and there stood a furious KT.
"You better not be lying about Sanzo! If you are, I shall assassinate you!" KT warned as she walked past Megan. Tohru had just emerged as well and they began to walk to the dining room.
Shigure was very excited and no one had to wonder why. He was actually singing a little jingle.
"High school girls! High school girls! High school girls all for me! High school girls!" he sang merrily.
"Don't think about them that way!" Kyo yelled. Meanwhile, in the hall:
"Tohru can you please go first? Megan asked. Megan's confidence had suddenly dropped like a brick and she wasn't ready to step out onto the battlefield.
"Are you sure?" Tohru asked.
"Actually…I don't wanna do this." Megan said trying to escape. Megan just seemed to realize that she was going to be parading herself in front of 6 guys. KT quickly grabbed Megan by her overly large bow and started to drag her into the dinging room.
"Oh no you're not! I'm not doin this myself!" KT said entering the room. Shigure caught sight of them, actually squeeled and began to clap while jumping up and down. Ayame looked uber proud of himself.
"Behold! My finest creations." Ayame said. Momiji immediately attached himself to Tohru and then KT.
"You guys look so pretty!" he yelled happily. KT thanked him and looked at the floor to hide her blush. However, before she looked to the floor, she caught a glimpse of Kyo. He was blushing! He saw KT looking at him and quickly looked away.
'Why is he blushing? Its not like hes the one wearing this stupid dress!' KT thought. The rest of them just stared in awe.
KT and Megan sat in agony for over an hour. Each time they tried to get up to change, they were shoved back down by either Ayame or Shigure. Finally after much pleading and making the excuse that they had to leave (they really did though), they were able to change.
"Ok well thank you so much for having us over." KT said with a small bow. They exchanged their good byes, much to the dislike of Shigure, and Megan and KT then walked out the door and walked to their hotel.
"That was interesting." Megan said.
"I will safely escort those dresses to Hell." KT said cracking her knuckles in a loathing manner. They continued to talk about the evilness of dresses for the rest of the to the hotel.
"Ah I will miss that sight." Shigure sighed.
"PERVERT!" Kyo yelled hitting Shigure. They talked about the girls, mostly about what zodiac they were. No one could really guess what they were because, like the girls said, they had no sure fire signs. Shirgure then turned serious.
"Well, I should probably inform Akito." He said. Everyone glanced at each other.
"Is that a good idea?" Haru asked.
"Its better sooner than later. Especially since they're only here for 2 weeks." Shigure said picking up the phone. There was silence in the room as he dialed.
"Hatori?...no…Hatori you naughty, naughty man….anyways, I have some news…about 2 new zodiacs…"
Whats Akito going to do? Whatever he does, it wont be good because he is evil! I have a hard time writing about villains. Im used to writing about happy things like pink unicorns and lawn gnomes. So if the next chapter suxs, tell me and hopefully I can rework it! Eeeee this story is so fun to write! I couldn't resist the urge to put the main characters into dresses. It was just waiting to be done.
