7. Momozono's and Alcohol Don't Mix.'


Tomoe dragged himself up a few mornings later... or more like the next mid morning. He was to tired to think, why? Hiru had been crying all night for the last few nights, its almost as if he had sensed he and Nanami's awardness the one night he told her.

Speaking of telling her they were married? Now it was so awkward between them they could barely even look at eahc other at all, and maybe that was a good thing, Right? It had to be given if they did look at each other one was gonna nose bleed or blush so much that they wouldn't show their faces for days.'

Nanami was a prime example of opinion number two.'

Tomoe sighed out weakly, he was off the next few days do the holsidays which left him blushing weakly from the fact that it was so close. Plus the Christmas party was in a few hours leaving his scetchy at the moment... given his son was going to be there and so was all that alcohol Gwen bought.

He groaned weakly and rubbed his eyes before he felt soft hands wrapping around his own... This left him pausing and blushing weakly... only..

" Ohhh Tomoe... -Kun!"
Tomoe suddenly screamed and jumped out of his skin before jerking around and seeing a laughing Mizuki,

" You thought I was Nanami! That was rich! You froze up like a little boy you nerd!" Mizuki cracked up and then wiped his eyes slightly, " And here it wa sworking-

" ONLY CAUSE YOU HAVE GIRLY HANDS!" Tomoe suddenly snapped and whined before having a paper bag slightl sat on his head.. he blinked and paused slightly before looking up and seeing familiar red hair.

Now no, It wasn't Silver.. it wasn't the mail man ( That would freak him out even more. ) It was someone that they hadn't seen much of lately.. and he almost smiled to brightly when he saw who it was,

" Are you two still fighting? Ohhhh By the way. Iced coffee and egg crosant.' he nodded as he pointed at the bag " The gravy is for Nanami.. " he nodded making Tomoe blink and then slightly look down at the wacdonalds bag.. he blinked before lighting up slightly,

" When did you get into town!?" Tomoe gasped slightly while the red head smiled and shurgged,

" Just yesterday-

" KURAMA-KUN!" Mizuki lept toward him, trying to get into his arms before Kurama flicked his hair and held Mizuki back with his hand and watched him squirm to hug him.' He then rolled his eyes playfully before laughing slightly,

" I heard about your Christmas party and I knew i couldn't miss out on that one.' he laughed slightly and then scracthed his neck slightly, "SO! Where is my little nephew!?" he lit up suddenly Making Tomoe smile weakly.'

" In the bedroom with Nanami.'

" Oh well let me go check on them!" he smiled slightly as Tomoe paused,

" NO! KURAMA! T-Thats not a smart idea!" He winced before Mizuki nodded sharply,

" Oi! Nanami'- Chan is Brea-

" AHH!

"SHUT THE DOOR YOU IDIOT!'

'-st feeding..' Mizuki muttered weakly leaving Tomeo to groan weakly.. these people never learned to knock at all, maybe they could at least learn more aftet this little incident, but he didn't think highly of that idea...'

Tomoe sighed out weakly and then shut the door, his eyes weak before looking at Kurama and then smiling weakly,

" I have a better idea okay?" he muttered weakly and then sighed out a bit, " Why don't we go to the store okay?" he muttered blankly " I wanted to pick up an order for you know who..' Tomoe muttered slightly and stuffed his hands in is pockets. Kurama blinked from this but then grinned slightly

" What you get her? he smirked slightly and walked out of the aparmtnet with Tomoe.'

" Night clothes?
" Sexy ones...' Kurama smirked as Tomoe blushed and glared weakly,

" N-NO! I wouldn't put it past her mother, but NO!" he snapped weakly, "I got her a ring.." he muttered slightly making them blink and then slightly exchange glances. They both paused slightly and then slightly looked at Tomoe making him blush weakly,

" I-Its not a propsal! Just a promise ring!" he huffed and then blushed, " Like I have said before.. you guys are messed up in the heads.' he whispered softly and then looked away a bit. He sighed out gently and then stretched slightly before looking at them weakly

" Lets pick it up okay?" he muttered as they paused, smirked, but laughed and ran wth him to the shop.

Oi... Idiots..'


Nanami blinked but giggled slightly as she looked down at the cell phone in her hand, on the side of it? It had a spoiled little fox charm,
" Its not expensive but I thought it would go greatly for Tomoe..' She giggled sligtly and smiled a bit leaving Gwen to smile and nod a bit...

On Nanami's back was Hiru, who was passed out from eating far to much earlier, she had to laugh at how adorable he looked on the back strap but she decided to let the little baby sleep in his day away,

" Its good.. and Even if it is a cheep one he needed one.. he pawned his other for some cash after all.;' Gwen smiled gently leaving Nanami to nod weakly,

" Yeah.. I felt so bad too... But bills is bills.." She whispered leaving Gwen to snciker slightly to herself,

Sure... Bills.'

She sighed out but smiled gently and looked at her, " Well he gets paid soon and I haven't told him how much he'll be making yet..' the woman suddenly smiled a bit, " To be honest he might be really happy withthe amount.. all those long hours get to you.' She whispered softly making Nanami nod a bit,

" I now how that feels.. and I'm studying.' She pouted and then gggled as she jingled the phone charm again before putting the gift up and looked at Gwen happily,

" I want to thank you though.' She whispered slightly, " I mean without you he would of never been able to go in and all, and with all those medical quizes he had to take to even get the job..' She trailed off but smiled a bit, " Your a mircal worked mum..

" Hey.. I had you didn't I?" She smiled softly and kssed her daughters head before giggling sligtly and clapping her hands,

" Come on... Lets wear out Hiru so he can sleep through the adult party tonight." She winked and grinned slightly leaving Nanami to blink but blush slightly and then laugh,

" Sure... " She snickered but laughed as they headed to a little are for mothers and new borns... Time to have some fun hiru!


Hiru paused ever slightly that night, His eyes wide when he saw Akura-ou, Nanami and Gwen. Inari, Areno and Rii there... So basically a full house.. a VERY Full house. Kurama also came and Jiru came to crash the party a bit..

Joy... Jiru.. the idiot that had a crush on Nanami since the first grade..

Tomoe glared weakly but shook it off as people started tallking and laughing a bit.' To his shock Silver didn't come but then again he understood and told him to have a nice holiday season remotely.' He wasn't gonna upset the guy so he gently let him off and shrugged.'

Besides, Mizuki and Kurama was here so he had some company at the time.' But he wasn't to thrilled about about Jiru at all... Not at all... Who would be? especially when Nanami was his wife, HIS wife.

Tomoe sighed out weakly and bit his lip as Nanami walked around and offered slightly ordorbes... Basically it was tortilla and tomato.. Given their payment status couldn't go to over budget, there was cheese to which Tomoe found himselt stuffing into his mouth and trying to play off that he was okay.'

" Yeah know..' he whispered slightly and looked at Kurama, " You didn't tell him?

" Do you want me to die!?" Kurama defedned and help up his hands weakly, his eyes showed his slightly stressed look making him blink and then groan weakly.. Go figure. Tomoe knew one thing and that one thing was this.

Jiur didn't care if Nanami was marked or not; which meant that if he made a move on HIS wife? It was war, Absolute WAR.' Tomoe sighed out, he wanted to take a painkiller but that mized with alcohol would knock him out and he coul dnot afford to be asleep at a party like this.'

And speaking of Alcohol.'

" NOW!" Gwen held up her hands and snickered at Inari, who shared a soft glance with her... This left Tomoe blinking and almost letting his stomach turn.. meh.. blah... He sighed out weakly but she smirked darkly,

" This is adutls only!

" BUT! Yeah know..' Inari laughed, ' If we get drunk..

" We won't know if you drank any or anything!" Akure-ou laughed as they all cheered each other and slightly drank down some eggnog. He figured out that Inari didn't even want eggnog.. he just drank the whiskey over some ice... Figures. James bond style right?

Oh HOOWW resposible...

Tomoe sighed out gently and then looked around at Everyone, laughing and talking. He had no clue how Gwen and Nanami got Hiru to stay so quiet.. and so tired at the moment. But he tried to ignore that for now, after all... Jiru was already drinking, Kurama was sipping and Mizuki was just finding out what alcohol tasted like.

Apparently he was thrilled because he got more. This left him wincing slightly, his eyes twitched and he paused weakly. He could get some alcohol from the cabnit anytime... which meant one thing, and that was this..

He wasn't going to drink at all tonight, its not that he didn't trust his wife with a big gloat like Jiru.. not at all. He trusted her in anything, but that wasn't the case at the moment, no.. the case was that when your drunk your mind wanders and you barelt remember anything,

And with the soft Christmas music playing in the background; setting the mood for flirting? Pfft, there was no way in hell he was gonna get drunk at the moment. Nope, at a chance. He huffed slightly and crossed his arms before Mizuki whined and laughed slightly..

Already wasited.. figured.'

" Why aren't you living a little Tomoe? Hummmmmmm.' he laughed slightly and tried to stand up while Kurama looked at them blankly,

" No one will be driving tonight... " he muttered slightlyleaving Tomoe to pause weakly,

" You look fine..

" I'm buzzed... Buzzed driving is drunk driving!" he instructed slightly, ' Don't break the law Tomoe!" he poitned an accuseing finger leaving Tomoe to pause and then groan weakly... Oi nevermind,

He was wasited too.'

Tomoe sighed out weakly and then paused when he saw Nanami take a drink, tear up and then take a huge drink of water.. he arched his brow slightly, he was tempted to say. It burns on your throat right? But he didn't.. he just watched closely.'

Oh course the adults where already drunk and out of it.. leaving him to whine out and shake his head; If anything he wished he could smach them all for being a bunch of drunkards, but he couldn't say anything since he had been in this situation before.'

Thats when it happended.. and he didn't like it one bit.. In fact he got so mad he hissed out and stepped between them.. Jiru started his little flirting begade and this left Tomoe hissing so loudly and almost demoniclly that eveyone stopped to watch... But all tomoe earned was

" Alllll Pretty kitty...

" Turn around and saw Meoww!" Kurama laughed out and snorted behind his hand befor eTomoe growled darkly,

" I"M NOT A CAT!" he screamed ut suddenly while they waved him off like he had said nothing.. he then huffed until Nanami suddenly pouted and weakly hugged him from behind, but in a way he wasn't used to..

" Whats wrong kitty cat?" She whispered softly and then slightly stroked his ear slightly moving her finger down his neck and over his mate mark, " Look at me please?" She whispered softly leaving Tomoe's sin to crawl.

He blushed, unable to think at the moment.. but he was the one that had his mind with him at the moment, and he knew this wans't Nanami. Nanami didn't flirt so openly like this, in fact Nanami was to embarrassed of things like this and thats when he knew she was drunk.'

Tomoe sighed out weakly, turned around and then quickly took her hand and yanked her into their bedroom. She blushed slightly and then went to kiss him but he slightly placed hs hands on her shoulders and shook his head,

" Nanami stay.' he muttered weakly and then yanked open a drawr, " Now where is that medicne..' he whispered weakly, searching for it as she pouted and stood there as she was told.. She whined out And stomped her foot weakly.. amking him mumle to himself.. Something about her being a baby.'

She blinked her eyes wide before she narrowed them.. and when Tomoe' turned slightly? She literally kissed him harshly on the mouth. Tomoe blinked, his eyes wide in shock,

" Ah..Nanami!" he yelped but then blushed before she started to kiss his passionatly.' Tomoe blushed at this and tried to think, no he tried to control everything in him.. His heart was pounding and with every whine and kiss she gave him the more hard it was.

He blushed weakly and shivered before trying to pull away only this led to him slightly tripping on his converse shoe that was in the floor and landing weakly on the pillow wall in the middle of the bed, Nanami slightly on top.

Tomoe suddnely blushed her heart pounding.. No... He.. wans't going to use her again.. HE WASN'T! He nearly snapped but she quickly kissed his again and Tomoe whined out, his heart pounding before he found himself kissing back lightly.'

He whind out but then, to his utter shock.. looked down and saw the girl slightly passed out.. he blinked; his eyes wide, Before sitting up and titling his head gently.

" N-Nanami?" he whispered and slightly poked her, only for her to whine and pout as she hugged a pillow and stayed asleep; but strangely enough? Tomoe was okay with this, in fact his heart calmed down rather quickly given what had just happened..

He almost lost it..

Tomoe blushed weakly and quickly looked away, his face so red that he couldn't think at all..

HE HATED CHRISTMAS PARTIES!- AND ALCOHOL! HE HATED THAT MORE!

Now... there was the fact n how to get all the drunk people home...

Oh god...'
