Twelve minutes into class Gosunkugi (Hikaru) never showed up and was counted out for skipping. After that, Hikaru struggled his way into the classroom. "Hikaru Gosunkugi! You are late!" the teacher shouted. "Super late" someone said aloud. "N-not… my… f-fault! Bands… are… heavy!" he managed to utter. The class then noticed the green bands on his wrists and ankles but assuming his uncanny weakness they put it off, not as any threat. The teacher sighed and dismissed Hikaru on his lateness. Hikaru slowly made his way to his seat and sat down quite quickly. The teacher went on some topic of algebra. Kira took out his notebook, flipped to an empty page. He took out his pen he always used to draw, angled his wrist and made another drawing of the class from his point of view.
This time he made a certain female in the class stand out from the rest. However, Hikaru was not having such a good time. He was still struggling to hold his pencil. Four of the students looked over his shoulder to see what he was doing. Hikaru felt as if his wrists were going to break off from his forearms. He whimpered slightly every few minutes. Then when the bell rang. It struck Hikaru like a bolt of lightning, the worst part of his day. He cringed at the very thought of it. GYM CLASS.
The metal of a gym locker slammed shut snapping him back into reality he stood next to his brother in front of the gym coach. "So your Gosunkugi's big bro huh?" the coach said in a big burly voice. He was largely built man with a noticeable beer-gut. "Yeah, mom says my eyes are prettier." Kira spoke. The man laughed and showed him to his locker. Kira got changed and went on to the main court until he noticed that his brother was not dressed out. Instead he was crunched down behind a stack of wrestling mats with a Polaroid camera. Kira, out of a pure curiosity, went over to see what his brother was up to. "Oh yes, that's perfect." He mumbled after a few shots. "Whatcha doin'?" kira asked quite loudly.
"GAHHH!" Hikaru yelped. "DON'T STARTLE ME!" he shouted. Kira noticed the picture that had fallen out of Hikaru's hand when he was startled. "Who's this?" kira asked as he picked up the picture. "THAT! IS NONE OF YOUR CONCERN!" Hikaru snatched the picture from his hands. "Hey, looks like you got used to the bands already." Kira pointed out. "Hey, you're right-"kira used this to snatch the picture from him. "Hey! Give that back!" after kira got a good look of the picture, he gladly gave the picture back. "That's a really good picture." Kira complemented. "Yeah, whatever." Hikaru continued snapping pictures of Akane for the rest of gym class. The coach then called everyone to the sand line. "You know the drill, jump as far as you can. Ranma Saotome currently holds the record."
Everyone went. Ranma finishing first and Akane second. Then kira was up. Steadied himself and jumped. It was not anyone would expect. When he landed he was more or less tied with ranma's record. The coached blinked and wrote kira's name next to ranma's for the school's record. Ranma hadn't noticed because he was too busy in a fight with kuno. When gym class was over, everyone went to go home. Kira was escorted by Hikaru to the cat café. They went passed the curtains and was immediately greeted by shampoo. "Nihao pale boy! You bring new friend?" kira started to question shampoo's poor grammar but refrained. "We need some potion of some kind to rid my brother of his sunken cheeks and beady eyes, you have something for that?" kira asked impatiently. "You related!? Pale boy has older, cuter brother!?"
Kira only nodded. "Shampoo tells everyone!" shampoo started after the door only to be stopped. "UH, potion please." Shampoo started blankly but then remembered. "Oh! That wait. Shampoo gets grandmother!" shampoo then started for the back room where mousse came from sweeping the sidewalk. "Huh? Who are you?" mousse asked as he adjusted his glasses. "Customers" kira spoke. Mousse adjusted his glasses again but it only showed kira as ranma instead. "YOU! YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR VOICE BUT YOU CAN'T CHANGE HOW YOU LOOK! SHAMPOO THEIF!" "Shampoo thief?" kira said again. "There is no logic in stealing shampoo." "Uh, Kira?" Hikaru cut in. "mousse is a martial artist, and he's really strong!" Hikaru hid behind kira.
"SO! THE SHAMPOO BANDIT ALSO HAS AN ACCOMPLICE! YOU TO WILL PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES!" "SHUT UP! WHAT DO YOU KNOW!?" Hikaru protested. "WA? I just yelled at someone... it felt… EMPOWERING!" he thought. "PREPARE YOURSELF!" mousse threw multiple objects. A metal hand with claws, several daggers, an open bear trap, and a knife. All connected to chains. Hikaru had already hit the deck but kira put up only on hand in defense. "FOOL!" mousse cried. But to his surprise, when the weapons came to strike kira, they only rusted and fell to the floor. "HOW!? WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Mousse shouted bewildered. "A technique I picked up in Hawaii, a little 'thank you gift' from the chieftain." Kira spoke calmly. "Oh, yeah!?" mousse yelled. "Oh yeah" a creepy, slithery voice said from behind mousse.
A shadow grabbed mousse from behind and held him still. "WHAT!? LET ME GO!" mousse struggled but it was no use. Hikaru studied the creature. It looked as if mousses own shadow had turned against him. "Shadow dummy, a technique I learned in Africa, a gift from the chieftain's daughter. "That's quite enough." An old voice said. Kira and Hikaru turned to see cologne. "TELL THIS THING TO RELEASE ME!" mousse pleaded. "Oh, shut up" cologne spoke. She pogoed over to kira. "That's a fine technique you've got there. Very effective. Might I ask what you like from here?" "Something to get my brother here unsunken cheeks and no more beady eyes." Kira spoke. "That… is your brother?" cologne said slightly surprised.
She looked from Hikaru to kira unable to see any resemblance. "Well, that's new" she fished something out of her sleeve and gave them to him. The ointment there is for his face. Apply it every night for fifteen minutes before bed. You will see changes immediately. The bottle contains an optic medicine, he can drink it now or whenever, the change will happen immediately. "Thank you ma'm." kira took out his wallet. "How much?" "For you young man and your impeccable manners, it's on the house." "Thank you" cologne nodded and went back into the backroom. While kira and Hikaru. Went out the door and headed home. Cologne's fake smile returned to normal.
"Shampoo! Come!" she whispered. Shampoo came into the back. "what is it grandmother?""The boy!""Pale boy?""No! The other!""Oh, that boy. What about?" "that child is more than meets the eye, follow him and find out his intentions here!" shampoo nodded and went out the door.
