NOTE:Next chapter up...This time, it's Ringo and Kasumi. They made an appearance in "Sweetest Poison" and I decided to sort of expand on their relationship (at the end of that story, it sort of hinted that they were starting to have a relationship of some sort). Muga also shows up, but his relationship to Kasumi is different.

Day 2. I'll Be Home For Christmas

Kasumi sat next to the family's Christmas tree and stared sadly at her phone while playing with a strand of her curly brown hair. It had been two weeks since her boyfriend, Ringo, last contacted her. He was currently on a service trip with his family down in Chile and so their ability to communicate was near impossible. Even though she knew that the reason why his family was down there was for a good cause, she couldn't help but miss the boy terribly. She sighed and laid down on the floor.

"Three days to Christmas," she muttered to herself. "And Ringo is half way around the world…"

A soft knock came at the door which made her jump slightly. She groaned softly and stood to answer the door. Kasumi hoped that it might have been her boyfriend there…but instead, it was someone she never really expected.

"Muga?" she blinked in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"Hello Kasumi," The dark haired boy waved to the girl. "Nice to see you too."

"Sorry," she sighed. "I just…wasn't really expecting you."

"Oh," Muga smirked. "Were you expecting someone about six two, brown wavy hair and green eyes?" Kasumi slightly glared at the boy. Out of all of Ringo's friends, Muga was the one who knew how to get her nerve points…probably since the two were cousins. Kasumi went to close the door, but Muga quickly stopped it. "Sorry. Didn't mean to upset you."

"Right…" The two cousins stood in the door way, not saying anything to one another. "So, you never answered my question…"

"Oh…right…" Muga scratched his head. "Um…grab a jacket and follow me." The brunette gave the boy a weird look. "Trust me." Kasumi sighed, grabbed the nearest jacket and followed her cousin outside. He led her outside of her house and to her backyard and they both stood there. Muga shifted from foot to foot while Kasumi looked around her backyard.

"...So…" she cleared her throat. "Why are we out here?"

"Um…" he scratched his head again. "I wanted…to…show you this!" Muga raced over to the old swing set and pointed to them. Kasumi gave him on odd look. The dark haired boy soon sat down on one of the swings and started to pump his legs.

"Muga, you're going to break that swing," she frowned.

"Nonsense," Muga grinned and started to get higher and higher. "This swing set has been around since we were five. If it's lasted this long, then there is absolutely nothing that can—"

SNAP!

Kasumi's jaw dropped as Muga came crashing to the ground. He rubbed his bottom and stared at the broken swing. He stared wide eyed in fear at his cousin.

"…Y-you! I just…I can't! REALLY?" Kasumi threw her arms in the air. "Ooh Muga! You are on Santa's naughty list!" The brunette turned and stomped back to her house.

"Kasumi! Wait!" he yelped and chased after her.

"Don't talk to me Muga!"

"But I—"

"You broke my swing!"

"I didn't think it would break!"

"I'm going inside!"

"But you can't go there yet!"

"Try and stop me!"

"Just hold on!"

"What is the big deal about me going—" Kasumi stopped once she reached the front porch. There was a large green present with a red bow simply sitting there. She stared at it curiously and looked back at Muga. He stared at the package, then shrugged at her. Kasumi slowly walked to the package and read the label.

To: Kasumi

With Love: Ringo

She smiled sadly and started to pull at the red ribbon. Suddenly, the box started shaking. Kasumi let out a small scream of surprise when something finally popped out. She stared at the object that now stood in front of her. The object stared back and smiled.

"Merry Christmas," Ringo chuckled.

"RINGO!" Kasumi gasped and hugged him tightly. Had Ringo not adjusted his balance, they would have fallen on to the ground, but Kasumi was too happy to care. She kissed her boyfriend happily and hugged him again. "I thought you were still in Chile!"

"I was," he chuckled and stroked his girlfriend's hair. "But we got back just yesterday. Muga here decided to help me out with this surprise." Kasumi looked back at her cousin.

"While he was getting the box out and getting in and junk," Muga explained. "I was supposed to keep you distracted."

"I see," Kasumi raised an eyebrow. "Too bad it cost me a swing set."

"Oh brother," Muga rolled his eyes. The couple laughed at the dark haired boy's expression and then looked at each other.

"Well come inside," Kasumi smiled. "I want you to tell me everything about Chile."

"I'd be glad to," Ringo chuckled. The couple started heading inside, when Kasumi soon stopped and turned to her cousin.

"Hey Muga, wanna join?" she asked.

"I thought I was on the naughty list," he smirked.

"Well, since you helped Ringo give me such a great gift," she smiled and hugged her boyfriend tightly. "I'll let it slide."

"Great!" Muga smiled.

"But, you still owe me a new swing…or at least things to repair it."

"Oh…right." The teenagers all laughed together and Muga entered the house. Ringo stopped Kasumi from going in. He smiled down at her and kissed her gently on the lips.

"I've missed you," he murmured.

"I've missed you too," she said. He kissed her once again and then the two walked into the house.

Gee, you'd think that after a while, I'd let these guys go. Heh heh. Oh well. Hope you all liked it! Three more one-shots to go. :)
