When she woke up the next morning she was refreshed. Hatori would take her to school to try on her uniform. She was about 6'2' and rather skinny. Very few skirts fit properly. She wished she could just wear a guy's uniform. She preferred pants to skirts although few clothing stores sold them. Her boss probably fired her because of her absence the past few days but, there isn't much telling.
"Are you ready to go?" Hatori asked when he discovered she was awake.
"I suppose. Are we going alone or are we going to have company?"
"We're going alone the rest of them are asleep."
"What time is it?"
"10:30" Hatori said bluntly.
"I see well I suppose we must get a move on." Akira said heaving herself out of the chair.
They got in the car. An ackward silence ran for about 5 minutes. Akira couldn't stand it anymore. "What is it like to be the most honorable zodiac?" She blurted out. Hatori's face was dumbstruck.
"Honorable?"
"Never mind."
"How do you feel about Kyo being your brother?"
"I don't think he likes me."
"Just let him adjust. Welcome to school."
They walked through the main door and into the registration office. Mayu was on the phone.
"What another Sohma?" She screamed into the phone. Apparently she did not see Hatori and Akira walked in. "Shigure you've got to be kidding…it's a girl. Yeah that makes a big difference." She said sarcastically. "Fine one chance." She finally looked up when she seen them she blushed, "Thanks for the warning Shigure. You must be Akira."
Akira curtsied, "Nice to meet you to."
"Great another smart aleck." Mayu said with an annoyed smile, "What are you doing here Hatori?"
"I came to register her in. And to inform you I will be acting as her guardian, so any conduct problems (Mayu looked at Akira) or conferences please contact me."
"Yes sir." Mayu said. "This is the school uniform." She held one up. "What is your size?"
"I'm not sure." Akira stated.
"Here try a small." Mayu gave it to Akira "You can change in the locker room."
"I don't know where that's at. Will you show me and you might want to bring all the skirt types." Akira said holding her bundle.
"Okay and I'll bring another size just in case." Mayu said grabbing a box "I'll bring her back soon Hatori."
"I'm not going any where." Hatori stated. He grabbed the nearest book and started to read.
"Where are you living Akira?" Mayu said as they walked down the hall.
"With my cousin Shigure."
"Oh I see." Mayu said but thought that explains it. "Here I'll stand right outside the door and tell you what I think." Akira walked in with the original bundle.
She called out "Ma'am I don't think this one will fit." She walked out with a mid-drift and you could see some of her underwear.
Mayu blushed "I think your right try on the medium shirt and a longer skirt." Once she handed them Akira went back inside and came back out.
"This will do nicely I believe." The medium shirt fit perfect, however the skirt instead of cutting short between the knees and ankles stayed at the knees.
"It should do okay. Spin around." Akira did as she was told. "Okay lets get back to Hatori. You'll start Monday."
"Okay." She changed back into her original clothes and carried the uniform in her hands.
"Ready to go?" Hatori said as he stood up.
"Yes sir." Akira said and they both walked out the door.
