Disclaimer: You know who it is :P Me! Just kidding…. It's the original artist and writer

At Takeshi's Place…

"Jeeze Takeshi, I didn't know that your parents were filthy rich." Saya said as she dropped the box next to the couch.

"What are you taking me as?"Takeshi asked while holding the door for Kirino, "A kid from a yakuza-oriented family or what?"

"It's called sarcasm, stupid." Saya replied.

"Saya, behave yourself." Kirino scolded as she handed a box of ornaments to Azuma, "Why don't you just help us by not making a lot of commotion here?"

"Here's the garland." Tamaki said as she wrapped it around the tree, "does it matter where the garland should be?"

"Nope. It's Christmas decorations after all." Miya-miya smiled.

"Awww, miya-miya it's great that you are opening up towards others." Dan-kun proudly smiled.

"Arigatou Dan-kun," Miya-miya beamed, "do you think you can help me put the ornaments on the tree?"

"Hai!" He replied as he took miniature snowmen and reindeer from the boxes and hung them on the tree.

"I envy how those two get along so well." Kirino said while checking on the oven.

"But it's not only those two," Saya pointed out while removing the plastic wraps, "Yuji-kun and Tama-chan are coming along just fine."

"Ano, Takeshi-senpai, do we need the dining table to be decorated?" Tamaki asked.

"You can decorate it if you want." Takeshi replied.

"Oh yeah," Kirino giggled, "You can see that right now." Both of them continued their jobs. After finishing decorating the tree with the garland, Tamaki came over to the dining table and began sorting out the cutlery and napkins.

"Want me to lend a hand?" Yuji asked. Tamaki, who was startled by Yuji's sudden appearance, accidentally bumped into him.

"Sorry about that," Tamaki apologized, "but you can help." Both of them quietly arranged the cutlery on the table. Tamaki accidentally graze her hand on the knife, a thin line of blood slowly oozed from her finger.

"It's just a cut..." before Tamaki could finish, Yuji was quickly sucking the blood from her finger. "Ano Yuji, it's only a small cut, not a snake bite."Yuji looked up and chuckled.

"I just think it's better to clean up the blood before I wrap it for you." Yuji winked as he pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and wrapped her finger. "There, the boo boo's all gone."

"Yuji-kun..." Tamaki blushed a little. Waaahhh.... soo cute!!!Both Kirino and Saya sighed.

"Yosh! We're all done." Saya flopped herself onto Takeshi's sofa.

"Since when did I give you permission to sit on my sofa?" Takeshi's eyes gleamed a little.

"Doesn't matter." Kojirou cut through before either one of them can start arguing, "Actually we did a good job today. You guys can either stay here to help me with the rest of the decorating or you can go home and get changed."

"Hai!" The group dispersed in different directions. "See you tonight!"

"Wait I said, some of you should stay back and help me!" Kojirou called. "Why is everyone leaving?"

"I'm not." Takeshi mumbled before putting away some stuff.

Later in the evening at Takeshi's place...

"This party isn't that bad at all." Tamaki commented while pulling down her skirt. "I'm still wondering why Kirino-senpai insisted I wear this." Yuji gave a chuckle.

"Because you are very cute-looking." Yuji smiled. Tamaki felt her face heat up. "At least everyone is enjoying themselves.

"Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas Everyone!" A lean-looking Santa Claus came into the room. Everyone stared at Santa for around

"Are you sure that's supposed to be Santa?" Saya asked suspiciously. "He looks more like a mysterious stalker..."

"Should I call the police?" Takeshi asked while pretending to dial the number on his keitai. "I have connection..."

"Ano, isn't that sensei?" Tamaki mumbled but nobody caught what she was saying.

"Or it could be a robber," Dan-kun added, "like what happened to Larry the Cucumber, only he didn't realize."

"IT'S ONLY ME!!!" Kojirou threw down his beard, "Besides, I'm too young to have a beard and white hair."

"Sure..." the whole gang replied. You guys are no fun at all...Kojirou thought miserably.

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas…" the CD player murmured.

"That's not happening." Saya butted in. "It was friggin' sunny this morning…" Outside the window, dusts of snow fluttered down as the cars were bustling on the streets.

"Wow, what a miracle." Takeshi sarcastically replied.

"Now stop turning this party in to a legal courtroom," Kojirou said as he handed out small packages, "Why don't you guys open up the gifts if you're that bored."

"Yeah, why not?" Azuma said as she was walking towards the tree.

"Azuma, watch out for the…" Azuma tripped over a small box and crashed into the other presents, "present." Kojirou finished his sentence.

"itai," Azuma rubbed her head, "here's a present for… me." She unwrapped her gift and found a glasses case. "This is from Tama-chan. Arigato!" Tamaki nodded and smiled.

"Aww is this from Tama-chan?" Kirino hugged the gift, "Arigato!"

"That's a nice looking scarf you got, Yuji-san." Takeshi observed, "unlike you, I got a rock." Everyone burst out laughing.

"Arigato, Tama-chan." Yuji smiled. Tamaki felt a slight blush on her face. "I'll wear it when we leave tonight."

"Say, why don't we have some snacks?" Azuma asked, "It's better to eat them than waste them."

"Oh yeah! Thank you Azuma-chan!" Kirino said, a lightbulb suddenly lit up. "Meanwhile why don't we have it over there?" Kirino pointed to a random room.

"Are you guys going to come over?" Takeshi asked.

"Um, I want to have a group meeting... with uh... the original kendo team!" Kirino said.

"What meeting..." Kojirou began before he was pushed into the random room. "Hey what the..."

"Sensei! We really need to talk about your finacial crisis!" Kirino quickly said, "Right Miya-miya, Azuma and Yuji?" She gave the three a quick nod towards Saya and Takeshi.

"Oh uh... right!" All three of them said at the same time.

"Then I need to come as well..." Saya started.

"Oh but it's for us only, you can join us later." Kirino gave a laugh. "Come on you guys... i don't think Kojirou will get a job until he retires..."

"What did you say about me and retiring?!?" Kojirou yelled before the rest of the gang shut the door. The room was quieter, as the CD player began to play a jazz version of "the Christmas Song." The snow was falling quietly like little pixies dancing on the window, waiting for Jack Frost to come and shoo them away. Both Saya and Takeshi weren't sure what to do as they were both sitting very far apart from each other.

"What do you want?" Saya said while trying to occupy herself by staring at the fireplace.

"Nothing," Takeshi replied cooly. Silence followed and slowly the door of one of the rooms open, revealing Kirino and Miya-miya's eyes.

"Now I don't think it's right for you two to meddle with other people's businesses..." Kojirou began before Kirino shushed him.

"Is there something you want to uh, talk about?" Saya began, "I wonder what the rest of the people are talking about."

"Yeah," Takeshi said while staring at his fingers, "Probably about what a binbou your sensei is and that he's on welfare crisis." Saya gave a little laugh.

"Why you little..." Kojirou said underneath his breath before Dan-kun hit him with a cushion.

"It's strange how we're just talking like this..." Takeshi said, "And I thought you hate me."

"Oh yeah, a lot." Saya stressed the word, "since you always teased me and picked on me."

"Well you're easy to pick on." Takeshi replied. "If you weren't all that tomboyish and that, then you won't be acting like a gorilla."

"Whatever, I don't want to talk about it anymore," Saya yawned. "It sure is taking them a long time for their meeting..." Both of them didn't say a word for a moment. "Don't you think it's getting a lot colder here?"

"Just take my jacket." Takeshi took off his jacket and wrapped it around Saya's shoulders before he sat right next to her. "if you catch a cold, I'd rather not send you to the hospital."

"Look who's talking." Saya chuckled. "Why are you sitting next to me?" Takeshi titled his head with a questioning look. He's kinda cute when he does that...wait did I call this jerk 'cute'? Saya thought as she felt her face getting warmer. Why is it getting warmer? I've never felt anything towards this heartless jerk.

"Why are you blushing?" Takeshi teased, "is it because I'm good-looking?"

"Like hell I care." Saya looked away, the redness in her face spread across her face. She felt warm air around her neck as Takeshi came closer towards her. "What the hell are you doing?" Takeshi slowly tilted her chin up and scanned at every corner of her face. Does this heartless jerk realize that this is really uncomfortable? Saya's head fumed.

"You know for a klutz you are very beautiful." Takeshi observed every angle of her face. "Your define eyebrows, your fire-burning eyes, your sharp nose and thin mouth. Like an angel." Saya tried to sqiurm away but his hand held her face tightly.

"What are you trying to say?" Saya glared angrily, "I'm not a piece of artwork you know." She felt his face come closer to him. God, his eyes are so dark... wait what the heck? Wake up Saya!She thought quickly.

"I know that." Takeshi's mouth curled into a half smile, "but better than the portrait of Venus." He suddenly leaned forward, pushing Saya down onto the couch.

"What the hell..." Saya began, only to be stopped by Takeshi's mouth. Dammit. His lips are soft. Before Saya could think anymore, she surrendered her thoughts and kissed him back.

"Don't look sensei," Kirino said automatically, "this is for adults only."

"Um, it's supposed to be the other way round. Not that I care."Kojirou replied before turning around.

"I guess it's time for the other two couples to do their thing." Kirino automatically said.

"B-b-but that's not cool at all..." Yuji stammered.

"You're a guy." Azuma pointed out before she stopped herself, "I didn't mean that... I'm going to the bathroom."

"Come on sensei, miya-miya and dan-kun," Kirino dragged the three outside, "let's go!"

"What's up with you Kiri..." the door slammed before the remaining two could hear Kojirou finish his sentence.

"Well I guess we can just relax here." Yuji relaxed on the couch in the room. "It sure is pretty outside."

"Yeah I guess," Tamaki replied while shivering a little. Yuji chuckled to himself as he walked over and placed his arm around Tamaki's shoulder.

"Is that better?" Yuji softly asked.

"Yeah." Tamaki replied as she leaned her head on his shoulders and before she knew it, she was asleep. You never realize how cute you are when you're asleep. Yuji smiled and blushed a little. Beyond the door, a loud commotion between the remaining people as Kojirou lectured Kirino for meddling with people while Saya and Takeshi somehow became a lot more closer than expected.
