"Maybe you shouldn't be calling me such mean names when I'm about to hold a pair of scissors, demon!" she growled before she stepped back from his tangled mess of hair to get a better picture of what she could do with it.  She had read a couple of fashion articles about how to properly cut male hair, so it didn't sound so difficult.  As long as she could get it above shoulder level, she would feel satisfied.  At that point, she wouldn't be too embarrassed to take him outside the house to get a professional haircut.  There was always the option to just use magic to fix a bad haircut if she really messed up.<br/><br/>"Most of those guys use a lot of nice products in their hair for those photo shoots.  I doubt I could ever get your hair to look like that....magic or no magic" she sighed as she played with the ends of her own hair.  In only a few seconds, she noticed that Crone had suddenly stopped talking as soon as she mentioned that she would need to wash his hair.  A mischievous smirk started to grow on her lips as she looked him over, "Oh?  What's wrong?  Is the merciless demon scared of a little water?" she teased.  Now she was enjoying herself just a little bit more.  Now knowing that he was actually afraid of water made her think that he seemed more feline-like in a sense.<br/>"Well let's see, I'll just need to run your hair under a shower head and then shampoo it a bit.  From there we can cut it in the living room and after I dry it off, you'll almost look like a normal guy!" she grinned, leading him down the hallway.<br/><br/>In preparation for the event, she tied her messy hair back in a ponytail and laid a few towels on the bathroom tile.  She motioned for Crone to lower his head in front of the shower head so she could properly wash his entire mess of long hair.  "Come on, I promise it won't bite~" she teased.  She was definitely being childish and mean about his fear of water, but she couldn't help herself.  She wanted to get back at him as much as possible for interrupting her peaceful life here in this rural town.<br/><br/>It took a little longer than she had expected, but somehow Hana managed to wash all of his hair and brush all of the tangles out of his hair.  After towel drying it quickly, she lead him over to a chair in her living room and placed a bunch of newspapers on the ground to catch the hair that was about to fall onto the ground.  She pulled out her scissors and moved some of the drenched locks out of his face to look him over.<br/>"I promise I'll make it look good.  I know I've been teasing, but if you want a job I need you look decent" she told him.  The small possibility that he might back out was lingering in the back of his head.<br/>----------------------------<br/><br/>"Aaaaaaaaaaand it's done!" she grinned happily as she finished drying his short mess of hair.  Crone's hair was much shorter now that she had cut off the majority of it.  She gave him some messy bangs and trimmed down the length so it wasn't quite as thick as before.  Hana grabbed a small mirror and crouched in front of the seated Crone to show him her work.  She watched his face for a reaction carefully, and found herself staring at his face rather intently.  Now that his hair was so short, he looked like a completely different person.<br/>'Is it just me.....or is he....actually kinda cute-'<br/><br/>She cut off her thoughts as a bright pink hue took up her cheeks.  She refused to look at him as a normal male human being.  He was simply a wolf in sheep's clothing now that he was a human.
