Chapter 10:

A Sisterly Styling Session

Fangs and Facades


A few hours later, Yuna sat on the floor in front of the closet, picking out a dress to wear to school the following day. She couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened between her and Saori.

Yuna stood in front of her closet, staring at the rows of identical school uniforms. She wanted to impress Saori, but there was only so much she could do within the confines of the dress code.

She went over to her sister's bed, she gently shook her sister's shoulder.

"Mika? Are you awake?"

"What do you want, Yuna? It's early," Mika grumbled.

"I need your help. I want to look nice for Saori today, but I don't know what to wear," Yuna explained.

Mika perked up at the mention of Saori. "Ooh, Saori. Tell me everything," she said with a teasing tone.

Yuna rolled her eyes, but couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corners of her lips. "It was amazing. We talked about everything, watched anime, and just...connected. But now I need your help. What should I wear?"

Mika thought for a moment. "Hmm, I think you should wear your hair down and maybe add some subtle makeup. And instead of the regular shoes, wear those cute flats you have."

Yuna nodded, feeling grateful for her sister's advice. "Thanks, Mika. I'll try that. Do you think Saori will notice?"

Mika scoffed. "Of course she will. You'll look amazing. Just don't let it go to your head, okay? And don't be late for class!"

Yuna laughed, feeling lighter than she had in a long time. "Okay, okay. I won't be late. Thanks, Mika."

Yuna stood in front of the mirror, examining herself from head to toe. She wore the outfit Mika had suggested: a white blouse tucked into a plaid skirt, accessorized with black tights and boots. She twisted and turned, trying to get a good view of herself.

"It's not bad," she muttered under her breath, "but it's not great either."

Mika, who had been sitting on Yuna's bed, looked up. "What's wrong?"

Yuna turned to her sister, a look of disappointment on her face. "I don't know...I want to try something... umm... different.

Mika thought for a moment, studying Yuna's outfit. "I get it," she said finally. "You want to be yourself, but also make an impression."

Yuna nodded, feeling a sense of relief. "Exactly."

Mika grinned mischievously. "Well, if you're giving me carte blanche, then I have an idea."

Yuna's eyes widened in surprise. "What kind of idea?"

Mika stood up from the bed and walked over to Yuna, placing her hands on her shoulders. "Let me take care of everything. You just relax and let me work my magic."

Yuna looked at her sister, feeling a sense of trust wash over her. "Okay, I'm in. What do I need to do?"

Mika's grin widened. "Nothing. Just sit down and let me do my thing."

Yuna sat down in front of her vanity mirror, feeling a sense of excitement building inside her. She watched as Mika pulled out a bag of makeup and various hair products, her hands moving quickly and expertly.

"So, what's the plan?" Yuna asked, watching as Mika worked on her hair.

Mika suggested a goth look. Yuna hesitated at first, but then she decided to go for it. Mika helped her pick out a black leather jacket, a black mesh shirt, and a vert short black leather skirt. She added some black boots and fishnet stockings to complete the look.

For her makeup, Mika suggested dark, smoky eyes with black eyeliner and deep purple eyeshadow. She added a touch of black lipstick to Yuna's lips, giving her a gothic edge.

Yuna's hair was styled in a sleek, straight bob with blunt bangs. Mika added some purple and black streaks to give it an edgy look.

Yuna looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't believe the transformation. She felt powerful and confident in her new gothic attire. She turned to Mika and smiled.

"I love it," Yuna said, feeling a sense of excitement building inside her. "Thank you, Mika."

Mika grinned back at her. "You look amazing," she said, feeling a sense of pride wash over her.
