Summary: Himeno and her sister are famous singers and they have a break. Christmas is coming and they want to be home. What Himeno doesn't realize is that, at home, there is a special Christmas present for her.
Chapter 1: The Call
It was December 17, and the two Awayuki sisters just finished their final concert for the year. They were on their way back to their apartment when the car phone rung.
Himeno answered it. "Hello? Himeno Awayuki here. Who's speaking?"
"Hello?" The voice on the phone sounded familiar to her.
Himeno thought, trying to place the voice. "Dad?"
He laughed. "You two are coming home for Christmas, right?"
Himeno sighed and put the speakerphone on.
"We're coming home dad. In fact, we'll pack our bags when we get home."
"Good to hear. I'll have Tanaka prepare the rooms for when you get here. Himeno?"
"Yes, dad?"
"Hayate's been looking for you."
"Okay. See you in the morning."
She hung up the phone and they arrived home. Himeno opened the door and started packing her bag. Kira groaned and did the same thing.
Himeno gazed at her. "You don't have to go if you don't want to."
Kira closed her eyes. "It's not that."
"Sasame," Himeno said casually.
Kira nodded. She liked Sasame for years, but she didn't tell him.
"I'm not sure if he's even single anymore."
Himeno closed her suitcase and wrapped her arms around Kira's shoulders.
"Take your chances and tell him. He'll never know until you say it."
Kira sighed and turned to face Himeno. "You're right."
She started packing her bag and Himeno climber into her bed. About an hour later, Kira climbed into bed and she quickly fell asleep. Himeno looked at the ceiling and smiled. She couldn't wait to see Hayate and the rest of her family. She also wanted her sister to confess to Sasame and she didn't want her to be alone for the holidays.
"I have a feeling that this will be a great holiday off," she said to herself.
