Snowy Wishes
Chapter II
Omake Theatre:
Kagura was visiting at Shigure's house as she usually does. It's a snowy day with slowly falling snowflakes framed within the windowpane. In the kitchen, Kagura stood in front of the stove preparing lunch for everyone. As she stirs the stew in the boiling pot, she's startled to feel two arms gently wrap themselves around her waist as well as hear Kyo's soft voice in her left ear.
"Kagura."
"K-Kyo…What are you…"
"No, don't turn around. I need to confess something, Kagura. The truth is…"
He begins to hold her ever closer.
"…my dear Kagura, you're the one I truly BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
Kagura jumps up in her bed, quickly reaches over and slaps the alarm clock. She slowly picked it up with trembling hands and stared at it with wide eyes of frustration.
A loud "DAMN IT!!!!" was heard. Then a hard crash against the far wall of her room.
Chapter II Start:
Hello! Tohru Honda here. December 24th, Christmas Eve has arrived. All through December, I made sure I did my best to get everyone a gift to show my appreciation for all of their kindness. Thank goodness I picked up all those extra hours at my part time job or else I wouldn't have been able to do it. I got something for Kyo, Yuki, Shigure, Momiji and Hatori. I even got something for Akito, though I haven't met him yet. I hope it's not too forward of me, but I just don't want anyone to be left out.
I know it's too soon to be thinking of the new year, but this coming year I hope I'll be able to meet Akito and tell him in person how thankful I am for his kindness in letting me stay with the Sohmas. I also hope to meet many more Zodiac animals in this coming year.
Today, we got all of our wrapping done and placed the presents underneath the tree. In the evening, Yuki, Kyo and I spent time in the living room, drinking hot tea and listening to holiday tunes on the radio. Much to my delight, Yuki and Kyo were acting much more civil towards eachother. I'm not sure if it was the holiday spirit or just the fact that they were too tired from wrapping presents all day long.
"Say, Kyo. Could you turn the dial to 97.1?"
"Yeah, sure. How's that, Yuki?"
"That's good."
Shigure had hung Mistletoe above the door to the living room. Before I realized it, I was standing underneath it. Not a moment passed until Shigure surprised me by putting his arm around my waist and saying,
"You know, it's a time honored tradition. If a man and woman should find themselves standing under the Mistletoe on Christmas Eve, the two must kiss."
"Eh?!"
"We wouldn't want to break tradition, now would we?"
"I, uh, awa, wa!"
Then Yuki jumped in and knocked Shigure across the room, which surprised me even more.
"Yuki, you're so mean. I was only joking after all."
"Have you no shame?"
