"What do we have to discuss about?" I asked.
"Well first we have to lay down some rules for you" Suzu hissed.
"Why do I need rules!?"
"Because its very important that nobody else finds out about your situation!" She snapped
"The trains are only meant for specific people that fit into that category, and to travel from one train to another is not allowed. Its actually against the law"
"The blue train is for transportaion for the sick, to be able to travel to different periods in time" Suzu continued.
"The red for people in comas,where they can rest and be taken to their fantasies or dreams"
"And the black is for the dead, where they are taken to either heaven or hell"
"Since you somehow boarded the wrong train, and got on to the blue one, youve already broken a rule-"
"Thats never happend before, as far as I know..you got lucky"
"But now, if you break any more rules..such as tell someone about what happened to you, something grave will happen to you"
"Who the hell in their right mind would believe me anyways!?"
"There are some people who know a little about the trains!" Suzu snapped.
"Theyve been trying to get their hands on someone whos been on them-well the blue one and the red ones..but they have failed"
"So wait, there are some people who know about the trains already?"
"Yes, I dont know what they really want, but I have an idea. They want to control a train. They have tried many times,but have failed. First the blue trains arent available for 'every' sick person, and the red trains arent available for 'every' person in a coma. But the black trains are available for every one though."
"The trains are invisible to the naked eye"
"And the red and blue ones are only available for "special" people"
Oh..
"Its very difficult to find a person who would remember boarding the train in the first place..most people would just think that they were dreaming or forget about the whole experience at all"
"Then how do you still remember? And how come none of those people are after you! And how do you know so much about all this?"
"Thats none of your busniess, just know that you have to keep quiet about what happened to you..and to me"
"I dont want to tell you everything" She continued. "Just be aware that there are dangerouse people out there and dont tell anyone about what happend!"
"Fine" I mumbled. Sheesh~ They were treating me like I was some stupid kid.
"Good, now I would like to speak with the captains, youre dismissed"
Happy to get out of there, I quickly stood up and left the room.
"Whew!" I yawned and walked away from the house and into the streets where there were many kids running around and merchants selling goods.
People were staring at my clothes. One lady shielded her daughters eyes from me.
Come on, I have clothes on!
"Excuse me, where can I buy some kimonos?" I asked a lady selling fruit.
"If you walk far to your left, youll see a small shop where they sell kimonos" She answered, eyeing me suspicously.
"Thanks" I quickly walked in that direction and found the store in no time.
Time to go shopping!
"Hello" I greeted as I stepped inside.
"Welcome!" Three young women greeted.
They were all wearing pretty kimonos, one was wearing a purple one, the other was wearing a green one and the last was wearing a blue one. The kimonos had beautiful patterns on them.
The shop had kimonos lined all across the walls. There were vairous fabrics on shelfs and hair accessoires as well.
"I want to buy some kimonos" I explained.
"Ok go ahead and pick some out" The girl with the purple kimono gestured to the walls.
I walked over to the walls, and picked out ten kimonos.
"Wow!" The girl with the green kimono gasped. "You must be wealthy..."
"Uh...no Im not" I smiled sheepishly. I could tell that the kimonos I picked were pretty fancy, I remember learning in history class that usually based on peoples clothing, you could tell the "class" the person belonged to. Hijikata just gave me all this money, I dont even know how much its worth, but I cant just buy one kimono can I? Im a girl!
"Thats the first time thats ever happend here" The girl with the blue kimono laughed, "Well give you a discount, and you can get two more kimonos for free"
FOR FREE!?
"Thanks!" I cheered, running over to the walls and picking out two more kimonos. I also bought some hair accesorries.
"Oooh youre going to be so pretty!" The girl in the green kimono cooed, I learned that her name was Midori.
"How about we dress you up right now" Blue kimono (aka Harumi) giggled.
"Sure" I replied. I followed her into the dressing room and allowed them to put an orange kimono with white flowers on it. The pulled my hair up and decorated it with the accesories.
I looked into the mirror and smiled brightly.
"I look so cool!" I laughed.
The other girls giggled.
"You should probably buy some normal kimonos, you know for work, since all the kimonos you bought were fancy"
I agreed, and bought seven plain kimonos, with a solid color on them and no patterns.
In all I bought nineteen kimonos and hair accessories.
"Oh yeaah" I sang, I went all out today. I love shopping!
I said goodbye to the girls, and walked back to Suzus house.
"Where have you been?"Hijikata demanded when I returned.
"I bought some kimonos!" I quipped. Seriously, he always has an attitude problem..
"You look really pretty Choo Choo!" Shinpachi whooped.
"I know right!" I winked and twirled around in my dress.
"Well at least now you look decent" Hijikata murmered.
Decent?
"Decent!" I stammered, "I look more than 'decent'!"
"Thats no way to talk to a lady Captain" Sanosuke grinned, "You look lovely Choo Choo"
"Thank you!" I chirped, "Now maybe people wont stare at me.."
"I doubt that.." Hijikata mused.
"Whats that supposed to mean?"
"Its that hair of yours that draws people's attention"
I grabbed my head and started to pat down my hair.
Damn it! It was all over the place. After I left the shop, i took my hair out of its bun and forgot to put it back in.
I mustve looked like a lion!
"Aww mann" I groaned. I quickly pulled out a mirror and tried my best to put it back into a decent ponytail.
Sanosuke and Shinpachi started to laugh.
"We have to go back to headquarters" Hijikata grumbled.
I followed them back to the headquarters, the whole time patting down my crazy hair.
