4. (nanamai + ikuyodamomo) bangs
"Hey yodayoda! Have you heard about that junior hair stylist competition?" Momoko said in a loud voice across the room, making Yuki turned her gaze away from the TV in front of her. She groaned a bit, annoyed, because a certain girl interrupted her watching activity on the exact interesting part of the show.
"Haven't." She said shortly, didn't even bother to look at the girl again. But Momoko, as eager as she was, already chimed her way in to the living room and seated herself besides the smaller girl. She shoved her phone to Yuki's face and grinned.
"Look! Most of our friends are taking part in this!"
"Let them be." Yuki said nonchalantly, obviously annoyed. "Besides, you don't have the skill to be a hairstylist."
Momoko frowned, didn't like when her sister looking down on her just like that. "What makes you think that? I do have the skill to do such."
"Really?" Yuki said, snatching Momoko's phone away. She quickly clicked on the link on the screen and it took her to the competition’s website. There, the skill set that you need to have to compete is listed in a big bold font, as a contrast to the pinkish and girlish background of the site.
"Here, look! At least you have to be able to skillfully cut bangs."
"Err... That's different from what's written tho." Momoko said.
"Well but the point is exactly that. Unless you're willing to practice." Yuki said again, giving back the phone to its rightful owner. Momoko let out a big sneaky grin.
"You should be my model then! Let's try trimming your bangs a bit! I thought you said it looks a bit weird some days ago."
"No way in hell!!" Yuki said again, jerking back. There's no effing way she'd let her precious bangs to be cut by her sister anyway, especially Momoko. She's not a testing animal.
"Come on! You made a perfect testing goat, and goat needs to be sheared."
"Why don't you do it to yourself!" Yuki said again pointing to Momoko's straight bangs, "It already feels longer than before."
The latter frowned, "That way I can't be really sure tho!! Aww, please help me at least!"
"Just watch the how to videos on youtube!"
"I don't want, it didn't feel real!"
At this point Yuki already feel bad for the latter, she didn't want her hair to be sacrificed yet she needed another scape-goat or else Momoko wouldn’t stop bothering her until she got what she wants. Or in a worst-case scenario, Momoko would start crying until she got what she wants. Yuki fell into a minute of silence, probably she could suggest another person? But their mom Nanase and their other sister Erika were off to the grocery store and won't return until later. That left her with one and only choice, to suggest Momoko to try it on their other mom, Mai.
"Why don't you try it on mom?" Yuki said.
"I thought she's out with big sis Ikuchan." Momoko said again, confused.
"Not her! I mean the other mom."
"Are you crazy?"
"As crazy as you who thinks entering a junior hairstylist competition is a good idea."
Momoko frowned, she didn't expect Yuki to suggest their other mom anyway. Well, technically speaking she had a quite perfect hair and long bangs, something Momoko could obviously experiment with. But the problem is, the said person is now soundly sleeping and doing it on her basically like poking into the lion's den.
"She's sleeping by now and if you finished before she wakes up you should be fine." Yuki said again, trying to assure the latter.
"How should I do it then?" Momoko asked.
"Hmmm... Maybe you can fake cut it, and play with her hair a bit, y'know, like a real stylish! I can record you doing it and we can review your technique after that. Or you can skip that entirely and just watch the how to videos on youtube."
"No! It's better to do it with real people so I can practice real skill."
Yuki nodded, "Alright, let's grab the tools necessary and do it quickly."
"Aye sir!" Momoko said cheerfully and sprinted to her room to grab the things needed. She roamed her drawer for a blunt scissors, thinking that it wouldn't deal much damage in case something bad happens. The latter also took a comb and some rubber for the styling part.
"Do you think we should bring a small mirror?" Momoko asked, still searching for stuff on her room.
"No need, I can see it because I'm the one recording." Yuki said, hands holding a small camcorder.
Both of the girls now proceed to go to their mom's room. The door was unexpectedly ajar and they could easily spot Mai sleeping soundly on the king-size bed. Momoko grinned gleefully and carefully jumped to the empty side of the bed. Yuki on the other hand, had positioned herself in front of the bed while trying to find a good angle.
"Mom's hair is so soft..." Momoko mumbled, touching Mai's hair with her hands. It could actually run through smoothly on her fingers, something that the girl found really amusing.
"Ready?" Yuki whispered, didn't want to wake up their mom or anything. "Just make it quick."
Momoko gestured a simple ok with her hands and starts braiding Mai's hair.
"Hairstylist Momoko, take one."
After a while Momoko managed to play around with Mai's hair, making it braids and twin tails without much of a hassle. Yuki took a picture of it and both occasionally laughed on how ridiculous it looked.
"This is so funny." Momoko said, making a small tail with Mai's front and long bangs. "Should we also draw something on her face?"
Yuki chuckled, "Maybe? I don't know."
Feeling something messing with her hair, Mai moved a little. Both girls were instantly scared and let out a small gasp.
"What was that...?" Momoko said softly, scared. "This is why we should finish it quickly..." Yuki said again, withdrawing from the bed. "The last part should be the one of you cutting her bangs. Well, fake cutting."
Momoko nodded, "Don't worry, this is a blunt scissors. We just need to see how well I did it, yeah?"
Yuki nodded, camera is ready.
Momoko bit her lower lip, holding the exact scissor on her right hand. She put Mai's hair aside, separating her bangs from the rest of her brownish hair. Momoko carefully placed the hair between the blade of the scissors and starts making a cutting gesture. The latter pressed it softly, nothing happened.
"See? I told ya."
SNIP
S N I P
"M-Momo-ko..."
"What? Just continue taking the video."
"T-The h-hair..."
"What?"
"It's falling."
Yuki watched in horror as Momoko cut the bangs, looking proudly as if she did nothing. Mai's bangs quickly falling out into pieces, there's nothing one could do to save it from such state.
"AA-------!" Momoko let out an inaudible gasp upon realizing her wrong doing. Hairs were everywhere on the scissors, so was on Mai's face. Surprisingly, Mai still able to sleep quite soundly, and only flinched a bit. Tho that exact move made the hair fell out to the floor instead, as she turned her body around to the side.
"...The bangs..." Yuki shrieked and turned her gaze into Momoko who's obviously in the verge of tears. Well, actually she's already crying. Hard.
"W-What sh-should w-we do...." Momoko said, sobbing. She was shaken on the bed, scared to hell. What if Mai shouted at her upon realizing what had she done.
"C-Calm down... we need help." Yuki said, "But first we need to get out from here."
Momoko nodded while sobbing and walked herself out of the room. Both sat on the dining table face to face, thinking the exact solution to the problem that had a rise.
"W-what should we do..." Momoko said between her sobbing.
"I-I don't know... we might be in a huge trouble..."
"W-we should wait until the others come... hopefully mom is still asleep by that time..."
Momoko nodded.
DING
It was only a few minutes that the bell rang, something that actually felt like forever to both parties.
"We're home!" A familiar voice could be heard from the hallway, near the entrance. Yuki quickly noticed this and sprinted her way to the front door.
"MOM! MOM! MOMOCHAN ACCIDENTALLY CUT SOMEONE'S BANGS!" Yuki said, somehow also crying.
Nanase was confused upon hearing it, so was Erika. She put down her groceries and quickly embraced the crying girl in a big warm hug, trying to calm her down.
"DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT!!" Momoko said, following Yuki to the front door. Both of them are crying now, making Nanase and Erika utterly confused.
"What? What's wrong? Why are you guys crying?" Nanase said, patting Yuki's back slowly. Momoko had ran to Erika instead, seeking for another shelter.
"W-we accdjdfhjtenllay cjjcut mai mom's bangdhjs." Momoko said.
"I don't know what you're saying, geez." Erika chuckled, "Come on, calm down first."
"Well Yodachan did say that you accidentally cut someone's bangs, is that true?" Nanase asked, looking at the crying girl. Momoko nodded, burying her face on Erika's chest.
"Whose bangs?" Erika said, demanding details.
"Mom's."
"Maiyan's?!" Nanase said, surprised.
"Y-yes..."
"Holy shit! These girls are pretty much in trouble." Erika said, followed by a loud sobbing.
"Shhs! Don't make it worser for them." Nanase said again, slightly angry.
"For now, let's just see how bad it is."
All three of them nodded in unison before marching in to Mai's room.
.

"W-WHH---HMMMPPP---" Erika tried so hard to hold her laughter the moment she saw the exact crime scene with her own eyes. Small hairs were on the side of the bed, some already fell to the floor. The bangs were pretty much ridiculously asymmetrical and when combined with Mai's weird sleeping face made the girl had all the urge to laugh.
"B-be quiet, what if she wakes up!" Yuki said, she had stop sobbing
.
"B-BUT...!"
"Be quiet, Ikuchan!" Nanase said, raising her voice a bit.
“BUT!”
“Erika!”
"S-Sorry."
"After all these things and she still sleeps like a log."
Nanase picked up the scissors near the bed, "Let's try to fix it a bit."
Snip snip snip
She cut the rest of the bangs, trying to make it at least look a bit acceptable.
Snip snip snip
"H-How is it...?" She said, asking her girls for opinions. "Hurry, I think she'll wake up soon."
"O-Okay I guess? Not as weird as before." Erika said, trying to get closer to the sleeping girl.
"This shape is kinda weird tho, maybe you should trim it a bit more." The curious girl poked the said bangs repeatedly, playing with the tips of it. She blew an air to Mai's face a bit trying to see how she would react.
"I-Ikuchan, stop it! She'll wake up." Nanase said, trying to stop her daughter to do such a stupid thing.
"Relax, mom! We all know she sleeps like a log."
.
.
"Who sleeps like a log?"
"AAAAAAAAAA-----!!!!!!"
Four of them screamed in surprised and both Momoko and Yuki started to cry again. Erika looked in horror as the said girl shook her head and yawned a little, blinking her eyes in confusion.
"Err...Why you guys looked at me like I'm a ghost or some sort?" Mai said with a coarsed voice. "And what's with these hair on my mouth...bweh."
"A-A...I-It's nothing! Of course! You're still sleeping and this is a dream!"
"I'm perfectly awake... why Momochan and Yodachan are crying...? Is something wrong, girls?" Mai said again, trying to get closer to Momoko and Yuki, but both spontaneously hide themselves behind Nanase's back.
"What's wrong? Nobody wants a hug? Nanase? Do you want to explain?" Mai said again, confused.
"No, it's fine! Good morning!" She laughed nervously and gently kissed the latter's forehead softly. Mai chuckled a bit. "Good morning to you too, I guess? Well then, I should be getting breakfast."
"Technically it's lunch." Erika commented.
"It's fine! Breakfast is fine!! Ha..ha...ha..." Nanase laughed, dragging Mai away to the kitchen.
"Alright, wait, I'm gonna wash my face a bit first."
"NOO!" Three of the shouted in unison. "You look fine!" Erika said.
"Silly!"
The latter then made her way to the bathroom and found herself staring hard at the mirror.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BANGS!!!!!!!"
"Not me... them." Erika said in a small voice, she could clearly see her sisters's face turned pale when Mai screamed so. Nanase quickly asked them to run to the kitchen in which Yuki and Momoko did so.
"You too, Ikuchan." She said again after realizing that Erika was still standing there as if nothing had happened. "You should calm you sisters down."
"I'm actually the one who needs to be calmed down!" Mai said in high tone, "Who did this?! Come on Nanase, you can't possibly shield them for this?!"
"I know, I know. But they're just kids!" Nanase said, trying to calm Mai down after Erika had previously also left the room.
"Besides you look younger this way, okay?"
Mai sighed, "Don't lie." She glanced to the mirror again, straightening her now messy and short bangs. "Wakatsuki obviously gonna be laughing at me at work tomorrow."
"Who cares about Waka's opinion, right?" Nanase said again, chuckling nervously. "Listen, I know they're very sorry about this but also they're pretty much scared of you."
"I'm not scary."
"You are, to kids."
"Then I'll just become even scarier." Mai said, taking a deep breath. "NO ALLOWANCE FOR A WEEK FOR THE THREE OF YOU GUYS!" She shouted, earning her a loud sobbing from both Momoko and Yuki. Erika on the other hand was pretty furious and yelled I'm not even part of this mess! back.
"Serves them right." Mai said, smirking.
"Ma-Maiyan!" Nanase said, disagreeing with her wife. "That's too harsh."
"I am. I am the scary big bad wolf Mai Kuroishi."
"Wh-What... I hate you..."
"I hate you too for ruining my bangs. Now I have to really fix it at the hair salon."
Nanase frowned, technically there's no reason for Mai to not be mad of everything. She sighed before giving her a small peck on the latter's lips.
"Just... don't take it too far, okay?"
"Yes, I'll take it as far as banishing my own daughters."
"Maiyan!"
"Just kidding."
