Waki's birthday [Bonus 6]

September 9th 2017...

Matcha groaned as she sat under the hair dryer.

"Why the groaning?" Rika asked.

"You know why!" Matcha fumed.

Today was Waki's birthday. As such, Matcha had decided to indulge Waki's request for a date, in hopes of placating her. After ridding Matcha's mother Mocha of her Illumous microchip, thanks to Murumasa Jouzu, Mocha had been restored to her old self and even managed to reopen her old salon.

"I'm surprised you agreed to go on a date," Hina nodded as she attended to another customer.

"My stupid boss gave me the day off and since that stalker's just going to follow me around anyway, might as well try and indulge her in hopes of her leaving me alone," Matcha grumbled.

"Isn't she your girlfriend though?" Mocha asked.

"No Mother, she's my stalker!"

...

"Well, I'll see you later when you swing by for Waki's birthday meal," Rika smiled as she left the salon.

"Ugh, why do I put up with her?" Matcha groaned as she too headed out.

"Have a nice date!" Mocha smiled.

Matcha ignored her and proceeded to head towards the meetup spot. When she arrived, she found Waki. Waki was clad in a cute sleeveless top, black leathe skirt, and white hi-top sneakers. She had also styled her hair nicely and done her makeup.

"Well hello goddess, you're looking mighty rebellious today," Waki cooed as she noticed Matcha,

Matcha's short green hair glistened in the sunlight while her makeup laden face radiated despite her annoyed scowl. She had opted to wear a green bra-top, a lean skirt, and neon pink sneakers.

"I only had my hair and makeup done to shut you up. Now let's go on your date," Matcha snarled.

"Yes queen!"

Waki wrapped her arm around Matcha's as she smiled and walked with her. "I'll never forgive Rika for goading me into doing this," Matcha growled.

...

A look of pure disgust spread over Matcha's face as she and Waki arrived at a store. "You dragged me all over town to take me HERE!?" she fumed.

"Yeah, you get to pick everything," Waki blushed as she dragged Matcha with her into the BDSM store.

Matcha cringed even harder as she came face to face with all the merchandise.

"Think I'd look good in this?" Waki blushed as she held up a kinky outfit.

"We leave now!" Matcha glared.

"Don't you wanna pick out something for me? I'm down for whatever. I'll even wear the outfit for the whole day."

"Want me to shave your head?"

"I'm down!"

Matcha glared in disgust and immidiately dragged Waki out of the store.

...

Mocha looked up as she heard the salon door opening. "Hi Matcha, how's your date going?" she smiled.

"Terrible, now shave all her hair off," Matcha snarled as she shoved Waki into an open chair.

"Nice to see you again, Ma'am. Shave me just like she wants and ink "Property of Matcha" on it when you're done," Waki blushed as she was caped.

"Do NOT even think of tattooing that filth on her!" Matcha glared.

"So how much we shaving?" Mocha smiled.

"All of it. I want her completely devoid of hair as punishment for dragging me to that fetish shop."

"'Fetish shop'? Where'd you go?"

"The BDSM place. I figured Matcha would wanna make me wear somethin kinky, but she dragged me out before we could buy anything and told me she was gonna shave my head. Her face was so sexy then. Well, make my girlfriend happy and give me the most extreme hair removal beauty package you've got!" Waki blushed.

"You got it girl!"

"I hope you suffer," Matcha glared as she prepared to head out.

"You can take a seat if you want. We aren't too busy," Hina smiled.

"Why not sit next to her?" Mocha smiled as she sat Matcha down in the chair next to Matcha.

"Mother! That's it! Shave all my damn hair off so you'll never be able to style it again!"

"I won't mind if you're bald. I can still massage your head if you do that. Besides, I think its cute of you to want to go bald with your girlfriend," Mocha smiled as she caped Matcha.

"UGH!"

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you're able to regrow it when your anger subsides," Hina smiled as she walked up to Matcha.

"You better, I'm only doing this cause I'm mad. I don't wanna be bald for life," Matcha mumbled.

As Hina began shearing Matcha, Matcha immediately began to tear up. Waki then reached out and held her hand tightly.

"Don't cry girl, I'm the one that's gonna look hideous just like you want," Waki smiled.

"I hate you!" Matcha snarled.

"That's why I love you so much."

"Huh?"

"I remember the day we first met back at Tabemono Gakuin. I was lost and ended up followin you around hoping it would get me to my class. Then when you noticed me, you turned and said 'Ugh, why are stalking me you creep? Are you even wearing clothes under all that hair? Go back to the well you came from and never enter my sight again!'. Those words along with your look of pure disgust made my heart skip a beat. It was love at first sight."

Matcha looked dumbfounded as she stared at Waki. She returned to her senses as soon as Hina began lathering her head and eyebrows with shaving cream. "WAH!? Wait, you're saying me insulting you turned you on!?"

"Yeah, guess I'm a masochist," Waki blushed as she too had her head and eyebrows lathered in shaving cream.

"Want your faces done too?" Mocha asked.

"For her, yes. For me... whatever, I'm too overwhelmed to care," Matcha grumbled.

"We'll take that as a yes," Hina giggled as she lathered up Matcha's face as well.

Waki and Matcha sat in silence as they were shaved. When they were finished, Matcha let out a loud sigh as she stared at herself in the mirror. "So the whole reason she became smitten with me was because I unknowingly aroused her with an insult. Perhaps I should have just ignored her back then. Ugh."

"I probably would have still gravitated towards ya anyway. There was a reason I chose to follow you instead of anyone else; your aura just pulled me towards ya," Waki blushed as Mocha began plucking out her eyelashes.

"Just great. Hina, don't even think of shaving me anymore. Just make me look presentable and have Mother finish destroying that pervert's hair follicles."

"You got it girl. Oh, and we should be able to dye your hair back to green in about a week or two if you let it grow out," Hina smiled as she began reapplying makeup to Matcha's face.

"Welp, you heard your girlfriend. Guess it's the bald life for you," Mocha laughed as she began covering Waki's head and face with wax.

"That's why I love her so much. She likes to degrade me," Waki blushed as her mouth was covered in wax. "Mmph ngh mmph?" she blushed as she glanced over at Matcha.

"Perhaps I should have bought a gag ball from that place, then again, maybe it's good I didn't," Matcha thought.

...

Rika's eyes widened as Waki and Matcha strolled into the restaurant. She began to tense up, but eased up a bit. "Welcome to Ryokoma. We got seating available in all areas so sit where you like and we'll be with you shortly," she smiled.

"Don't recognize us? It's me and Matcha" Waki grinned.

Rika gasped in shock as she heard those words. "WAKI!? MATCHA!? You shaved your heads!?"

"Yeah, Matcha wanted me completely hairless, but decided to get in on some of the fun too," Waki blushed as she pecked a kiss on Matcha's chhek.

"WANT ME TO KILL YOU!?" Matcha roared.

"Well, I'm glad it's really you two. I thought for a second you were my sister," Rika chuckled as she completely relaxed.

"Oh shit! Didn't think about that. Well, good thing I spoke up," Waki nervously smiled.

"Unlike her, I only had my head and eyebrows shaved. They'll grow back too," Matcha grumbled.

"Well, now that I know its you two, your seat is ready and your meals were just taken out of the oven. Bet everyone's gonna freak though when they see you're both bald," Rika grinned as she headed back to the kitchen.

Waki and Matcha then headed for their reserved table and sat down as Mimi arrived with their food.

"Wow, you two look good bald. I'll grab some milk if you want to grow it back- er, sorry I forgot that only applies to me," Mimi nervously laughed.

"So spicy tonkatsu is your favorite meal?" Matcha asked as she began eating her yakisoba.

"Yeah, my Sis taught me to make it and I've enjoyed it ever since. ...," Waki sighed.

"Did you see your sister today?"

"Nah, my old man also did nothing more than send me a simple 'Happy birthday' as he headed off to work. Well, that's par for the course I suppose."

Matcha was taken aback by Waki's somberness. "Is your family life bad?" she asked.

"Well, we aren't financially good, but my old man is at worst indifferent to me and at best not indifferent. I'm honestly just glad he doesn't yell or hit me."

"Did he ever-"

"Nah, I was never abused, but I bet he still blames me for killing Ma."

"What do you mean?"

"I never knew my ma, but Sis told me she died giving birth to me. Guess I was killing people long before I became an assassin," Waki somberly smiled as she ate. "Sis was the only one who really cared about me and wasn't mad at me. But I guess she didn't care enough as she never tried to make contact with me after she got recruited by the government. I haven't seen or heard from her since you and her were kidnapped by Rika's little sisters."

"Don't remind me. I still have nightmares about being a wax statue," Matcha shuddered.

"Sorry. I shouldn't be talking about my problems"

"I actually want to know more about you. So tell me everything about your family," Matcha glared.

"Well, you ordered me to shave all my hair off, so why not make me suffer a bit more," Waki chuckled as she began her tale.

...

"And that's pretty much everything about my family," Waki stated.

"I still have some questions, but I think I understand a bit more about you now. You punish yourself because you blame yourself for your mother's death. You are also lonely because your family's distant with you and you. Though why are you so attracted to me when Rika's your only friend?"

"Well, I did have romantic feelings for her, but as soon as Masaru praised her for her cooking, I knew she was taken, though I was happy. I guess my fondness towards her was more akin to a knight serving their liege rather than romantic love. Then I witnessed an altercation between you and your piece of shit old man. I was amazed by the brutal tongue lashing you gave him and decided that it was better to follow you to find my way than some other rando."

"That altercation after the entrance ceremony? Well, he was being unreasonable and I hate him so he deserved everything I yelled at him," Matcha huffed.

"You really are a strong woman. Even if you don't have high self esteem, you're the strongest woman I know after Rika," Waki smiled.

"So I'm second fiddle. Well, allow me to tell you something about me. While my cooking may not be the best, nothing irks me more than being told I'm subpar compared to someone else."

"Ha ha, I'll remember that. So how're you gonna punish me for my rudeness?"

"I'm also not a sadist or masochist. I'm normal dammit!"

"I got it. I got it. Heh, guess this birthday date was a blast."

"I guess I'll forgive you enough to let you grow your eyelashes back."

"Not a sadist my ass. I was waxed and smothered with hair removal cream at your demand. I'm stuck rockin the hairless alien look for life," Waki laughed. "Well, guess I can always slap some fake eyelashes on if that's what ya want."

A bald woman in a business suit then approached the table. "Hmm? Who are you?" she asked.

"SIS!? Wait, did you decide to match me?" Waki laughed.

"WAKI!? W- WHAT HAPPENED!?" Wakaha cried.

"My girlfriend ordered me to go bald and I did just that."

"Ugh, well I'm not shaving my eyebrows to match. I only ended up like this because my hair was unsalvagable after the wax incident. Then as punishment for my blunder, my boss ordered me to keep it shaved for 3 months. Tomorrow was actually the day I'd be allowed to start growing it back. Ugh, why did your birthday have to be now?"

"So are you mad I was born?"

"Didn't I tell you enough times!? You did nothing wrong. It's not your fault mother died. Get over your damn survivor's guilt!"

"If you have dinner with me sure, also answer my calls and hang out with me more," Waki pouted.

"My boss is-"

"Want me to kill him?"

"Do that and your ass will go to prison. Though I guess I could try to bargain with him, but I only have until November until I'm allowed to leave. Could you wait until then?"

"Send me a letter every week. You're allowed to do that much, right?"

"Fine."

"Though why are you here if your job is so strict?"

"Take-out. One of my co-workers wanted takeout and asked me to be the one to fetch and pay for it all. That guy's an asshole! He had the gall to smile when he told me to come here and put in the order in person. Now I have to wait until it's ready."

"Heh, well sit down here and have some tonkatsu while you wait."

"Fine."

Waki smiled as she leaned back and closed her eyes. "I might have lost all my hair, but I think today was one of my best birthdays ever, well a poposal from Matcha would have made it even better. Hmm, maybe I'LL propose on her birthday," she thought.

A few days later, Matcha stared in disbelief at Waki. Waki's hair and eyebrows had begun to grow back.

"It's growing back faster than mine. Ugh, why did I do something so stupid!?" Matcha groaned.

"Want me to shave it off?" Waki asked.

"No, just grow it out again. 'Total hair removal' my ass! I bet Mother used something that would let your hair grow back," Matcha grumbled as she stormed away.

"Your mother, huh? Hmm, I don't remember anything about mine, though Sis did tell me something about her. She told me she smiled and told me to live for her. Well, guess I better start living then. Hmm, maybe I'll grow my hair out so I can get a mohawk like Matcha's mother," Waki happily thought.
