Witch of the Underworld

Dangerous Photoshoot

After a month, our costumes were finally complete. Aki put his blood, sweat, and tears into making them. We met at his house to try them. Aki already has his costume on when we got there. He wore dark navy blue pants that had a tint of grey to it with a beige button up shirt that had its sleeves rolled up. He had a vest on that was colored a dark plum color with thin light grey-blue horizontal lines. He wore a black tie and had on knee high black boots with gold laces. His hair piece was the one I designed. It consisted of three magnolia flowers. One was dark blue and the other was white. In the middle was a flower that had our individual colors. For Aki, his color was purple. There was a blue piece of fabric with two gold lines on the bottom attached to the flowers. We all stared in awe.

"They're all done. This is by far my best collection I've ever made. Kei, your outfit is in the spare room on the second floor. Sayo and Ayumu's outfits are in the spare room on the first floor. Yukine and Yona's outfits are in my room. Once you have it on, come back here and wait." Everyone went their own way. Yukine and I followed Kei to his room.

Inside, there were two manikins with outfits. One had a skirt and the other had shorts with a skirt. "I went out of my way and even made you custom tights and shoes, Yona." Aki said.

"Really?" He went to his bed and picked them up. He then explained how my costumed worked.

"I'll let you two get changed. I still need to do finishing touches on yours, Yona."

"Got it."

When he left, I turned to my outfit. It was beautiful. The shorts and sleeveless shirt were the same dark blue. The sides of shorts were dark plum colored. I stripped and put the shorts on. The went all the say to my waist. The bottoms had plum colored ruffles at the bottom. I put the cream shirt on. It hung a little over the shorts. There was a jacket the same length as my shirt that mimicked the design of the shorts. The black sheer sleeves went to my elbows. The cuffs were a solid black material with a gold insignia of a magnolia and at the end, there were purple ruffles that had a gold line. I put on the white tights and noticed the gold magnolia on the side of my left leg. Even my red heels were an upgrade from the usual red shoes I wore. The ones Aki made me had a bigger heal with a magnolia symbol on the back. I then put the skirt on. It was attacked to a thick black belt. There was a stripe of the plum in the middle. There were gold flowers and leaves on the black part of the belt. The skirt itself was asymmetrical and layered. The outside layer was the only symmetrical part. The right side almost touched the floor, matching the rest of the material underneath, while the left side could touch my hand if I let my arm hang.

The first layer that touched my leg dark blue on the inside and the plum on the outside. Again, gold embroidery was stitched in on the bottom. On top of that was a sheer beige color. A black material with the same purple boundary sat on top of that. It was shorter than the bottom two layers. The top layer was a sheer, dark blue material that had sparkles throughout. The bottom had golden flowers and leaves on the bottom. I then took my hair piece. It was the same as everyone else with the exception of my color.

"Let me help." Yukine said. She took the hair piece and pinned a few pieces my hair back with the flowers on the right side of my head. "Perfect." She said brightly. She had a similar outfit on. She only had a skirt with black tights. "Let's go see how everyone looks." I nodded and we walked back out to the main room. Everyone was waiting for us. Sayo saw us and froze with her mouth wide open. Aki turned and smiled, nodding to himself. The Nakamura siblings turned and were shocked. Sayo had the same outfit as me, but her shorts were puffy and her skirt was short. Kei had a similar outfit as Aki. Only he had longer sleeves and a plum jacket that hung off his shoulders. Ayumu wore pants with the same shoes as Kei and Aki. She had a small shoulder cape with gold accessories. All in all, we matched and had the same vibe.
