"Kita-san!" Toko called one day after school. Michiru, Chika, and Shito spun around to see Toko trying to catch up with them.

"K-Kita-san… can I talk to you? Um… alone?" Toko nervously asked eyeing the two zombies (that could bring out weapons at any moment) beside her.

"Sure. Chika-kun, Shito-kun I'll see you later." Michiru followed the girl in front of her. As they silently walked away from the two boys, Michiru watched the snow, from the sky, lightly touch the ground. The red, green, and yellow lights from stores shone brightly giving a peaceful scene as the girls strolled casually through the streets. Men and women from all ages shopping for gifts for their loved ones, Michiru watched as a young boy went to a jewelry store.

"Uh… Toko-san? What did you want to talk to me about?" Michiru asked. Toko froze in her tracks. She turned to face Michiru, her face covered by her bangs.

"Ano…etto…well…how can I…" Toko stuttered, "Well… I guess I'll just say it. Kita-san… do you like Zen?"

"Huh?" Michiru stared at Toko. Toko bit her lip and managed to glance at Michiru.

"Um…aren't we all friends?" Michiru asked obviously not getting what Toko was trying to say.

"I-I guess that's true but it's not what I'm trying to say…" Toko started, "What I mean is are you… in love with Zen?"

"…" Michiru thought about this for a moment. Did she even think about Zen in that way?

"I-if you do… I guess you should know… he likes you back." Toko stammered. Tears were now threatening to fall out of Toko's eyes.

"I-I don't…like him...that way." Michiru quickly said. Toko quickly wiped the tears that were about to fall out.

"Really?"

"Definitely. Toko-san…do you like him?" Michiru questioned her.

"I-I don't like him Kita-san…" Michiru looked at Toko, surprised at first, until Toko added, "I love him."

"Toko-san…"

"Call me Toko."

"Okay then Toko… why don't I help you pick out a Christmas present for him?"

"I'll only agree to that if you tell me who you like!" Toko smiled. Michiru blushed.

"W-well then… I guess I like…um…"

"It's Akatsuki-senpai! Right?" Toko guessed.

"Well… I guess it's both Chika-kun and Shito-kun…if you put it that way."

"Wow…you sure are greedy Kita-senpai." Toko said.

"H-hey!"

"Just kidding!"

"Hey Toko? We're friends now…right?" Michiru asked. Toko looked at her.

"Yeah… I guess we are."

The two girls strolled the around the city looking for gifts for their loved ones…of course whenever one wasn't looking the other would try to buy her a gift.
