Purple Hair

A completely cracky fic, based on a conversation me and Chocolate Confection had. I suppose the pairing could be considered atoji.

No, I do not own PoT. Do I seem like Konomi Takeshi to you?

x Purple Hair x 500 words

It was a perfectly normal day, in the Hyoutei changing room. The regulars had just finished their practice, and everyone was tired out... too tired to even argue. Atobe was combing his hair carefully, making sure that each lock of his perfect hair was perfectly arranged. Shishido and Choutarou were changing silently, stealing glances at each other. Oshitari and Gakuto were chatting animatedly, talking about something of no relevance. Jirou was sleeping on a bench, still in his tennis clothes. Kabaji was standing like a statue, but that wasn't anything unusual.

'Atobe-san, what colour is your hair?'

This question, however innocent it may have been when asked by Choutarou, changed the atmosphere in the room immediately. Atobe stopped combing his hair. Shishido turned to look at Choutarou, who had a curious expression on his face. Oshitari turned to look at Atobe's hair, and Gakuto stared as well. Jirou still slept though, and Kabaji still stood like a statue.

'Light brown, of course,' Atobe said flippantly. 'Light brown is the only hair colour noble enough for ore-sama.'

Shishido rolled his eyes. 'That's light brown? Looks grey to me.'

Atobe looked highly affronted. 'Ore-sama's hair, grey? It can only be light brown! Light brown is the only colour noble enough-'

'You said that already, Atobe,' Gakuto interrupted. 'And I could swear that it was actually grey.'

Oshitari nodded his head. 'I agree. I think it's grey. Maybe a dark grey, but definitely grey.'

Choutarou stared at Atobe's head of hair, and said apologetically, 'I'm sorry, Atobe-san, but I think that it's grey as well. But it's an elegant grey!'

Shishido scoffed. 'Elegant grey? I think it's just that Atobe' hair is greying.'

Gakuto smirked. 'Used too much shampoo on it, probably.'

'Ore-sama did no such thing!' Atobe looked extremely insulted. 'Ore-sama's hair is in the best condition!'

'...Isn't Atobe's hair purple?'

Everyone turned to stare at Jirou, who had just woken up, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

'Of course not.' Shishido said rudely.

Choutarou smiled. 'I suppose you could think it was purple in the right lighting.'

Gakuto laughed. 'Purple? That's insane.'

Oshitari inspected at Atobe's hair. 'It's grey.'

Even Kabaji said, 'Usu,' to Yuushi's comment.

Atobe said clearly, 'Ore-sama's hair is light brown.'

Oshitari sighed. 'If you're so determined, Atobe, just let us look at your hair to see what colour it is.'

Oshitari walked over to Atobe's head of hair, and plucked one out.

'What are you doing to ore-sama's glorious hair?' Atobe shouted, but Oshitari didn't reply.

Oshitari's eyes grew wide.

'What, Yuushi?' Gakuto asked impatiently.

'It's...purple.'

The room took a collective gasp.

Jirou smiled. 'Told you so!' And he went back to sleep.

'But only at the roots though... Atobe...' Oshitari said thoughtfully, but Shishido finished for him.

'You dyed your hair!' Shishido shouted, laughing. 'Your hair is purple!'

'Ore-sama's hair is not purple! You're mistaken!'

As this fight went on, Oshitari wondered about when Jirou had been close enough to Atobe to see the roots of his hair. x owari

Atobe looked at the bottle, angry, pouring all of its contents down the drain.

The label of the bottle said 'Light Brown Hair Dye for Smooth and Silky Hair'.

And ... how was it? I had always thought that Atobe's hair was purple until my friend said otherwise. And then in the manga, it's light brown, and in the anime, it's grey. xD I found this amusing.

Anyway, please review if you liked it! Flame and concrit away! -awinchan
