#12: Pumpkin Picking

"Hey...Kurama..think you could help me with this one?" Looking up from his book, the kitsune stood from his spot benetan the old tree. Keiko was holding a small and rather misshapen pumpkin, batting her lashes charmingly as Yusuke held one the size of his head. "You see," she said with a smile, "It's the perfect color but it seems a little...off. And Yusuke will be bragging all day that he found one better than mine...and seeing as how you're so good with plants..."

Kurama smiled and shook his head, "As you say, Keiko-chan..." he took it from her and for a moment, the little pumpkin glowed a pretty silver before it formed into a perfect circle. "There you are," he nodded, satisfied, "it should be very easy to carve now. Just do not tell Yusuke i helped out."

"No problem," Keiko winked, "Our secret."
