December 10
Kimiko got on a light coat, gloves and a hat. She walked into the kitchen where her boots were drying on the heater. Raimundo was sitting in the kitchen appearing to be reading something. He looked up when he saw her come in. "Hey Kim, where are you going?" "To the town, I have to get my box of ornaments that I had my dad deliver for me." "Oh, Okay. Do you want some company?" She smiled. "Sure." "Okay, I'll be right back", he said as he folded up the sheet of paper he was reading.
He couldn't believe Kimiko was letting him go with her. She usually couldn't stand him. Maybe...no. That wasn't it. He walked outside where Kimiko was waiting. She saw him and started walking when he caught up with her. They walked to the town. Kimiko walked into the Post Office. Raimundo said he would be right back. He ran into an anime store across the street. He was greeted to a bell when he walked into the store. He scanned the titles of DVD's until he found the one he was looking for. It was a box set of Oh My Goddess!, Kimikos favorite anime book turned show. He bought it and walked out of the store. This was going to be Kimiko's present, well part of it at least. He went over to the post office where two big boxes were on the counter. He smirked. "Ornaments?", he said to Kimiko. "Yup and decorations, and your carrying them." His eyed widened. "I am." "Mhh-hmm." "Uh sure." He placed the boxes on top of each other well Kimiko held the door opened for him. He continued walking at a slow pace. "Don't hate me if I drop them." Kimiko laughed. "Don't worry, I trust you completely." "Thanks."
They placed the boxes in the main hall by the kitchen. Sadly there was no evergreens around them so Clay bought a fake one and put it up. All of them were putting up ornaments. Raimundo was lifting Omi up to hang up some. All of them were having a good time and laughing. Omi and Clay were hanging up decorations down the hall. Just then Kimiko pulled the last thing out of the box. She stiffened for a second, staring at it. It was a big beautiful star that had multi colored lights in it. "It's beautiful isn't it?", she asked him. "Yeah it is, where'd you get it?" "My..my mother made it. Its so pretty, I can't throw it away." "It will look great." She smiled softly at him. "Thanks." She turned the empty box over and stood on it, but she still couldn't reach the top of the tree. Before he realized it, he put his hands on her waist and lifted her up. She was nearly as light as Omi. "Need some help?," he said as he held her up. She laughed as she put the star on the now reachable top of the tree. He slowly lowered her back down. She smiled at him again and grabbed the last box of decorations.
Raimundo had gone over to help Clay. When Raimundo had lifted her up, to the unknowing eye, a meaningless gesture but to Kimiko, it seemed like where he had touched her had left an imprint on her waist. She could still fell his hand. He could really tie her up in knots. She was on a ladder in the doorway (whatever it's called, with no door)by the main hall and kitchen. She had laughed when she had seen a mistletoe among the decorations. Her scheming father. She laughed silently to herself. She hung it up and stood under the doorway lost in thought. Then she saw Omi coming over to her. She stopped him. "Don't come closer." "Why not?", Omi replied. Because I would've had to kiss you.", she said as she pointed to the mistletoe. "Why? Why kissing? I am most confused." "Forget it Omi, its nothing." Omi shrugged and walked away with question marks popping up around his head. Raimundo walked up to her and looked up at the mistletoe. "Nice touch", he said with something in his voice. She didn't know what it was, like she couldn't determine it. She turned away and walked into the kitchen, where she started to make cookies with Omi.
