Yo Peeps...Sorry about not updating for a while...

(Sorry to anyone offended about the Christmas thing, if you're offended. You know, like the religious stuff...)


It was nearing Christmas. The snow came down hard. Tohru hopped downstairs happily, with a coat on, and a scarf.

"Are you going somewhere?"Kyo asked suspiciously.

"Yes, I'm going Christmas shopping!"she replied, smiling.

"Christmas shopping..."Kyo made a face. He hadn't even thought about that. Not like he was getting that perv one, anyway.

"Um...Kyo-kun, did you want to come with me?"Tohru asked. He nodded, so Tohru waited for him to get his wallet. They set off toward the shops that had Christmas stuff in them,for the holidays.

Tohru walked through the store with Kyo. "So, Kyo-kun, what do you want for Christmas?"she asked, passing by a shelf with antiques on it.

Kyo blushed. "Uhhh...I dunno, what about you?"

"M-me? Oh...um, you don't really have to get me anything."

Kyo rolled his eyes at her and sighed. He had no experience with Christmas shopping; how would he know what to get her?

Tohru was at a loss, too.
They separated to look for something. Tohru came across a cute collection of plushies. There were a few cats, some dogs, and some bears. She smiled and searched for what she was looking for...and found an orange cat. She also grabbed a pig and a dog;For Shigure and Kagura.

She soon found something for all the other Zodiac members, and Uo and Hana, but not Yuki.

She would have to ask him, and come back shopping another day. She purchased her items and went outside, where Kyo was waiting with a bag in his hand. He hid it behind his back when Tohru came, and they walked back home.

"Hi. Kyo-kun, did you find anything for Yuki-kun?"Tohru asked.

Kyo shook his head. "No, I don't know what to get him. What about you?"

"I'm going to ask him what he wants and go shopping again,"Tohru decided.
Kyo nodded.

Later that day, Tohru sat outside, looking at the snow fall down, and piling on top of the snow already on the ground. It was so cold...she shivered. But it was beautiful.

"Hey,"said Kyo, coming over to sit beside her.

"Oh!"Tohru said, surprised, and fell back into the snow. Kyo laughed.

"Umm...so, did you find out anything for Yuki-kun?"Tohru asked, still laying back.

"No, he's not home. I guess he's out somewhere..."Kyo trailed off as Yuki came into view, dripping.

"Hello,"he said, smiling.

"Yuki-kun, why are you dripping?"Tohru asked in shock.

"Wow, YuYu, did you fall?"Kyo asked sarcastically.

"No, I did not fall...Did you, Honda-san?"he asked, looking at how Tohru was laying.

She blushed and smiled, sitting up in response. "So...um, why are you all wet?"she asked, changing the subject from herself.

"Oh, well, I was with my friend, and we got in a sort of...snowball fight."he admitted.

"Oh, that sounds like fun!"Tohru said. Kyo rolled his eyes and gathered up some snow and threw it at Tohru. It hit her head hard, and she fell down again, with a squeak.

Kyo and Yuki laughed, and a snowball feebly hit Kyo's head. He smirked and threw one at Yuki. They had a three-way snowball fight.

Soon, they were all drenched with snow, and they hurried inside to change clothes before they dripped everywhere.

They met up after changing and sat in the living room, sipping at hot chocolate.

"Oh! Yuki-kun, what do you want for Christmas?"Tohru asked suddenly, remembering.

"I don't know. Freedom, I guess. But..."he shrugged.

"That might have to wait for another time, I'm not sure how long it'll take, with Akito..."Tohru said.

"Huh?"Yuki asked.

"Yuki-kun! We didn't tell you?!"

Kyo was already handing Yuki the book. He read the last chapter, and they waited in silence.

"Woah...Where'd you get this?"he asked.

Tohru looked down at her hands, embarrassed. "Um...Well, the Main House."

Yuki looked at her with a mouth shaped like an 'o'. "So, who...?"

They didn't need Yuki to ask the remainder of his question. Tohru answered straight away, "Kyo-kun, and Akito-san."

Yuki's jaw dropped to the ground in shock. Tohru actually laughed at his expression.

Christmas Day came. Tohru opened her eyes and smiled automatically.

She walked downstairs to see everyone already awake. "Merry Christmas!"she said, yawning. She went to make a special Christmas breakfast...

After eating, they all sat around the tree. Tohru got 2 presents, Yuki got 3, Kyo got 1, and Shigure got only 1.

Tohru felt sort of bad for Shigure and Kyo, although she had something special for Kyo that she was saving for later. "Shigure-san, why don't you open yours first?"

Shigure opened his present eagerly. "Thank you, Tohru!"he said fake-enthusiastically. "A bag of pens..."

Tohru smiled. "Yuki-kun?"she gestured for him to go next.

Tohru had gotten him a box of chocolate, Kyo got him stationary with a mouse on it, and Shigure got him an empty box.

Kyo got, from Yuki, one of those jackets that he loved so much.

Tohru finally opened hers: she also had a box of chocolates, from Yuki, and a really short dress from the perverted Shigure.

Tohru went upstairs to put her stuff away, and to get Kyo's present. She went to his door and knocked. He told her to come in. He was sitting on his bed, with something behind his back.

Tohru sat beside him. "I got you something Kyo-kun..."and she held out her present. Kyo held out his present to her, too.

They both opened it at the same time, and laughed when they realized they both held an orange cat plushie in their hands.

"Thanks,"Kyo said.
