The rest of the day passed without incident, yet Mizore hadn't come across Kurumu even once to explain that she was just 'kidding around'.

'Truthfully, I was completely serious, but if I tell her I was just kidding, and hadn't expected her to act like that, maybe I can still save our friendship...' Mizore figured.

The halls of the school had been fully decked out with all kinds of ornaments and decorations, filling the whole school with light. It wasn't that any of the monsters were actually Christians; it was just that seeing how so many humans found such enjoyment in the holiday, they decided that they shouldn't have to miss out on the fun, so that's why they celebrated Christmas.

'Just what does Christmas mean, anyway...?' Mizore wondered, shoving her hands in her pockets. However, whether she learned the answer to this question or not was of no importance to her.

'I HAVE TO FIND KURUMU-CHAN!!'

Since she couldn't locate Kurumu, Mizore headed to the Newspaper Club's meeting room in hopes that Tsukune and Moka would be there and might know where the succubi girl had gone. Or, better yet, she will find Kurumu herself waiting in there.

When she swung open the sliding door, Mizore only found Tsukune and Moka in the club room, chatting about something amongst themselves. It seemed they hadn't noticed her arrival.

"...So, you haven't seen Kurumu-chan, either?" Mizore overheard Tsukune say.

Moka shook her head, her long pink hair flapping gently back and forth. "...No, not at all since after last class...I'm getting worried about her..."

"YOU TWO DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS, EITHER?!" Mizore exclaimed, causing both Tsukune and Moka to jump in fright, not having realized the yuki onna girl was standing behind them.

"Oh...y-you're looking for her, too, Mizore-chan?" Tsukune asked.

Mizore nodded, and then she let out a disgruntled sigh. "Listen, you guys...there's something...really important I need to tell you two..."

--

A few minutes later...

"WHAAT?! YOU THINK YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH KURUMU-CHAN?!!"

Mizore's cheeks flushed bright red. "Y...Yes...that's exactly right..."

'Wow...' Tsukune thought, shivering, 'That's really...hot...'

"Are you really sure about this, Mizore-chan?!" Moka cried, a bit flushed herself, "I mean...you and Kurumu-chan? Seriously? Do you think it'll work...?"

Mizore shrugged and replied, "Truthfully, I don't even understand my own feelings right now. It's just...ever since she kissed me back then, I can't stop thinking about her...I like her alot..."

"Then you ARE in love with her!" Tsukune gasped.

"I SAID I WASN'T SURE YET, YOU IDIOT!!!" Mizore snapped, and she threw several rather sharp icicles at Tsukune's head, who was able to dodge them at the last second.

"Well, you should really talk to Kurumu-chan about this," Moka said, "Is that why you want to find her...?"

Mizore's expression fell, and she stared down at the floor in despair. "Actually...I already did tell her...and she completely freaked out on me..."

"Really?"

"She...she screamed at me...and...and she called me a disgusting fag...she hates me..." Mizore started to break down into sobs again as she recalled the horrific look on Kurumu's beautiful face. Wrapping her arms around her body as if in pain, Mizore continued to weep silently to herself.

"Aww...Mizore-chan...you poor thing..." Moka pulled Mizore into a hug, and let the yuki onna girl cry into her shoulder.

Unable to think of any comforting words, Tsukune glanced out the window. The snow had stopped falling.
