Hey! Now I have my insanity back from a restful week, expect one update a day,unless the net's broken again. These updates will occur after 2 pm, my time. They're basically going to be around the same time every day, so check when ya can. Glad to have your support! Thanx to u, we made 20! We'll keep it up!
Disclaimer: This time, since no one helped me with the cards #glares offstage# my lovely assistant Akira-chan will be helping me today! #drags Akira in, in pink ballet tutu#
Akira:#glaring at tutu, HK, and everyone looking/laughing at him# You are going to hell when you die.
HK: I don't care! #hand behind head# That's were all the hot guys from manga, anime, and everywhere in general go!
Akira:... She'd better not own SDK. Or I will kill myself.
HK: Aww, don't be so depressing! But I don't. :-(
Hotaru's POV:
I don't know why he was so surprised about the ceiling thing. It's easy. I led him back to his room and when we got there Saishi and Saisei were waiting. They giggled when they saw me, but I don't know why.
"We're here to help Shinrei."
"Oh." I had no idea what they wanted, but nor did Shinrei apparently so it was okay. As she followed them into the bathroom I heard a shriek. Again. Shinrei's voice, high-pitched with anxiety, followed a second later.
"Oh my god, my hair! How can it be so messy! How could I have lived like this!" Not exactly expected. I glanced around the door to find my sister halfway through a freak-out, tugging at her hair in the mirror. A while later Saishi and Saisei had calmed her down, and were wetting her hair, which, in theory, made it easier to brush. When I was little, it always hurt more when they brushed it wet. Shinrei isn't the only reason I hate water. After a few minutes of painful tugging, it became clear that my impression was right. Saishi and Saisei expressed disbelief, but eventually handed me the thick brush they had been trying to drag through my sister's hair as she knelt on the floor in front of her bed. I moved to the recently vacated spot behind her and put my legs up on either side of her so I wasn't ridiculously cramped, and, trying very hard not to notice how close her body was to mine, how her hair shone, the gentle rhythm of her breathing and how it moved…parts…of her, I started brushing. There was a trick to it, Anna had taught me as a chibi, you have to move gently, but firmly. It took me a little while to get the hang of it, as the hair seemed to be trying to eat the brush and my hand along with it. Eventually I got into the rhythm and, relieved, Shinrei relaxed against my leg, seeming soothed by the motion of the brush. I just tried to hide my immediate and unexplained reaction, without tugging too much on her hair.
Okay peeps, just want to remind ya that I love your reviews, any suggestions will probably be added, unless they don't fit with the story, are an alternate ending, or make too much sense. This is not real life people, insanity is required. With that in mind, please review!
