Ryuuji stared down at the beautiful small doll like girl, his heart flutterd at her shy red face behind his red scarf. It was winter and the long walk home from

the grocerie store was starting to get to him. he shoved his hands in his pockets and sighed, taiga looked up at him and blushed, only then did ryuuji notcie

her shaking and her ungloved hands. Slowly he took both of her hands in his and pasued midstep to warm them up. Immediatly she pulled away "stupid dog, what are

you doing" she yelled ebaressed turning away insanely red. She was freezing, but suddenly she lost her step and sliped down the long slope until she landed in

the freezing cold runing river. Ryuuji quickly sliped down the slope after her "taiga, you alright!" he yelled pullinhg her out of the river, she was shivering

vilontly now to cold to move. "s-s-st-stupid d-dog i-ts all y-your fault" she muttered shivering, ryuuji sighed "sorry" he warped his arms around her and

carryed her up the slope, her clothes soaking wet.

"j-just, t-take me home" he herd her mutter, he smiled "of course" he lightly lifted her around onto his back

and she hugged him tightly, trying to take in his warmth, ryuuji didnt care that she was soaking wet and cold, she still gave off a warmth that made him happy.

Taiga didnt talk untill they were in her apartment and she was changed still freezing though. Ryuuji looked at her small figure as he set her down in bed, her

eyes were already shuting but she was still shaking violontly under the covers. "you ok?" he asked brushing a strand of hair out of her face and he watched as she

blushed insanely red, whitch made him blush to. "no, you s-stupid dog" she pulled the covers over her head "ill make you some tea, it will warm you up" he said

as he left her in the bed, still shivering. He rushed to the cups and quickly made some warm tea then brought it back to her quickly. She took it and chugged it

down virously, still shivering. "i-im freezing" she muttered, ryuuji looked out her window at the blinding snow, he was tired and didnt feel like going home

even though they lived close it would still be freezing. Taiga followed his gaze "stupid dog, go home" she pulled the blankets back over her head "b-but you

can stay if you want" ryuuji smiled as she watched her shiver under the blankets.

In that moment he had two ideas. He sighed lightly as he sat down on the bed.

"are you cold?" he asked silently "of course you idiot" she snaped angerly. "then ill stay" ryuuji blushed as he also got under the covers of her bed, making

taiga sit up immediatly. "perverted dog, i should have never said you can stay!" she yelled, "you dont expect me to sleep ont he floor and your cold right?" he

asked, taiga hesitated but slowly settled back down in the bed. At first they made sure they were as far away from eatch other as possible but the vilont shivers

from her cold body made him iretated with himself. He shuffled closer and he knew taiga was about to shout and resist but he pulled her into a tight hug. She

stiffend in surprise "what are you doing, you stupid idiot" she whisperd burrying her face in his chest. "your cold" he muttered, slwoly her shaking stoped.

He smiled as she wraped her arms around his shoulders and huged him tighter to her and taiga smiled as he hugged her tighter in response. He was so warm, she was

so warm and she loved it, he loved it, no he loved her, she loved him, more then anything in the world.
