"Wake up, Mi-chan!"
I opened my eyes slightly.
Sunlight greeted my eyes.. next was Fuuko's face..
Then I closed my eyes again..
Until I opened them widely.
"What the--!!! What are you doing here?!?" I exclaimed.
Fuuko grinned. She sat on the edge of my bed. "I just wanted to wake you up so that you can make breakfast already!"
She smiled widely, and then stood up. "C'mon, Mi-chan! I'm hungry already!"
"Okay, okay.." I murmured.
She smiled and then proceeded to the kitchen.
I sighed, as I tied my hair and fixed my bed. Finally I followed Fuuko to the kitchen.
****
Fuuko leaned on the table where I was preparing breakfast.
"So.. what are you gonna cook, Mi-chan?"
I continued chopping some tomatoes. "You'll see later. Now just go watch some TV so that I can finish quickly."
I sounded so much like a mother telling her daughter to just go play some dolls! All I needed to become one was an apron!
"Hai hai, kaa-san!" Fuuko laughed going to the couch, her hands behind her head.
I sighed.
I continued cooking a scrumptious meal for me and Fuuko.
While it was simmering, I glanced at Fuuko. She was watching cartoons, particularly Looney Tunes.. I laughed inwardly.
At that time, I never actually realized her hair being long. I remember her hair being much much shorter before. Thanks to her hair, she looked prettier now..
wait a minute..
did I just describe the tomboyish Fuuko being pretty?
****
It was the day before Christmas Eve. So obviously, it was December 23. Everyone was busy decorating their houses, buying gifts, etc. I was done decorating my apartment, of course with the help of Fuuko. I had a Christmas tree complete with ornaments and lights, a Christmas wreath, gingerbread men, etc.
All that was missing was my gift for Fuuko. Naturally, I had tons of gifts under my tree. Where did it all come from? Of course, my fans.
So, right now, I was out in the streets window-shopping for Fuuko's gift. By the way, she wasn't with me; she herself went Christmas shopping.
I went around town just to find the perfect gift for her. But no luck.
Finally giving up, I turned around and started walking home.. until I passed by a jewelry shop.
I stopped and looked through the window. Then I found it. The perfect gift. I went inside the shop and immediately bought it.
****
"Merry Christmas, Mi-chan!!" Fuuko exclaimed happily. She started opening her presents one by one, throwing the crumpled wrappers behind her.
I sighed, then started opening mine.
The stars twinkled brightly, accompanied by the moon. It was such a calm and peaceful night. Anyone would say that it was exactly the same as when the very first Christmas happened; quiet yet with feasts and parties going on all around the world celebrating the holiday.
Fuuko and I celebrated Christmas at home. We cooked different kinds of delicious meals and played Christmas carols on the cd player. After dinner, we washed the dishes and finally went to the tree to open our gifts.
"Wow! Look what I got from Recca!" Fuuko showed me her new shirt from the flame caster.
"Nice!" I said sarcastically.
"Yeah, thanks for the compliment, Mr. Sarcastic!" she said, then laughed. "Anyway, can I see your gifts?"
She glanced over my shoulder then said, "Whoa.. how many fans do you have?"
"Tons."
We continued opening our gifts with occasional exclaims of "wow!" and "cool!" from Fuuko until there were no more presents left to open.
Fuuko sighed. "THAT was tiring." She laughed, her hand going through her hair. Then she turned to me. "Do you want your gift now?"
"Uh..sure, okay.."
"Okay now close your eyes."
".."
I closed my eyes and waited for her gift..
Then she kissed me on the cheek.
My eyes opened suddenly. I felt myself getting warm. I turned to Fuuko.
"I-is that..your gift?"
She giggled. "Of course not, silly! It was just some kind of introduction.. or do you want to consider it as an extra?"
I decided to stay quiet and looked away.
Fuuko continued giggling, which turned to laughing. "Oh my gosh! I never thought I could see the day when Tokiya Mikagami will blush!"
I turned redder and redder. "C'mon, or you won't get YOUR gift."
Fuuko immediately stopped laughing. "Fine fine! Here."
She handed me something from her back. "Here..it's not much.." She giggled shyly, as if embarrassed with her gift for me.
"Thanks." I opened her gift silently, tearing the wrapper. Finally, a box was revealed. Obviously, the main gift was inside the box.
"I'm sorry if the gift sucks!" Fuuko continued apologizing, until I finally opened it.
A picture frame was inside. And a picture was in it.
It was a picture of me and Fuuko. (Well, actually it was the part of the Hokage picture, only Fuuko had me and her enlarged.)
"I-I'm sorry, I know it su--!"
I interrupted Fuuko. "Thanks." I smiled slightly at her.
"Y-your welcome!" she replied, her cheeks red.
****
"Now, since I gave you your gift, give me mine!"
"Okay, okay!"
I took out my gift for Fuuko.
"Now, it's your turn to close you eyes." I said to her.
"Fine." She closed her eyes quickly, excited to know what her gift was. " Okay, I'm ready!"
I grinned. I opened her present slowly.
"Come on, Mi-chan!" she was starting to get impatient.
"Okay, okay!"
Finally, I put her gift around her wrist.
Fuuko opened her eyes. "Oh my.."
She turned to me. "Mi-chan.."
"It's a bracelet." I said to her. She was in awe. I had no idea what to say. "Fuuko, are you oka--!"
"Thanks, Mi-chan, thanks!!"
She suddenly put her arms around me and hugged me tightly.
I felt myself turning crimson.
****
It's already December 31, New Year's Eve.
Fuuko and I had dinner in a restaurant. Then we went to the shrine to give offerings and to pray. We spent at least 45 minutes there, until we decided to go to the cherry blossom park overlooking Kyoto.
"Mi-chan!" Fuuko waved to me and sat down on the ground.
I followed her, my hands in my pockets.
It was chilly tonight, and I was tired.
I sat down beside Fuuko, as she stared at the sky.
"This year was really nice, huh?" she said.
"Yeah."
"I'll miss this year."
She turned to me and smiled.
I smiled back.
The wind blew suddenly. Luckily, I was wearing a thick jacket.
But Fuuko was not.
I saw her clutching her sweater tightly, so I put my arm over her.
I felt her stiffen. She looked up to me then she looked away.
We were silent for awhile until.. the fireworks finally came.
"Wow!!!" Fuuko looked at her watch and turned to me.
"It's New Year!!"
I smiled at her. "Yeah.."
We watched the fireworks presentation. I continued looking at the sky until Fuuko spoke to me.
"Mi-chan?"
"Hm?"
"Happy New Year."
She snuggled closer to me and then resumed to watching the fireworks.
I was stiff at first with what she suddenly did.
Then I smiled.
I put my arm around her and kept silent for a while.
Finally I replied.
"Happy New Year, Fuuko."
We then watched the presentation until it ended.
Finally, it was confirmed.
I had fallen head over heels for someone whom I thought I would never fall for.
Kirisawa Fuuko.
So Unexpected.
