"Yeah, I'll find a ride and get us over there." He pauses to think for a moment, "I should... probably do somethin' about my hair though. I kinda stick out, I used to get a lot of flack for bein' an 'albino'... among other things." Which was, kind of inaccurate. He clearly had pigment... his eyes were green after all, and his hair looked more grey than pure white in the winter when he wasn't outside as much. Well, maybe it wasn't completely inaccurate either. He had to be some sort of albino mutation at least. He was far paler than the most people on the island with their olive complexion, and his hair was definitely was an unusual color for his age. Still, albino was probably one of the least offensive terms that was used on him, but it was still something that made him easily identifiable.
"It would suck if someone I pissed off back then recognized me."
Then again, as long as he was with Ryuutaro he was going to stick out. Someone from Japan was never a good sign on an island run by the mob. It meant business with Yakuza was going on... and that always meant something was going to go sour for someone. Luckily they were young... and Ryuutaro could easily pass off as girl so long as he didn't talk. Gokudera could play it like they were tourists- as long as no one recognized him. That would be key.
"I could dye it black with somethin' temporary... I'd look more Japanese. We could pass off as tourists until we got to the Ninth's and I could wash it out."
Because as much hell as he caught for it... he knew it was a trait he inherited from his mother, and he'd be damned in hell before he would ever act ashamed of it.
