Chapter 16 Admire

                The doorbell rang as Kikyo ran down the stairs. She opened the door and to her surprise, Yami was in front of her, smiling genuinely.

"Hey Yami, come in," She moved to the side as Yami peeked in from behind the door and walked inside. Kikyo closed the door and ran upstairs.

"Hey," Yami replied. He followed Kikyo into her room and sat on her bed. He continued watching her get her room cleaned up. She was sweating when she was done, so she opened the window to bring in the cool winter breeze.

"So what's up," Kikyo asked him. Yami shrugged and smiled. He stared at her, admiring those pretty little eyes of blue, sparling with every minute that passed by. He stared at her for quite a time while Kikyo talked endlessly about her day. He didn't hear a word she said. Mainly because he was concentrating more on how beautiful she was. But of course…Yami was unknown to that.

She's so pretty. Yami smiled inwardly. Kikyo stoped talking and cocked her head to the right in a playful manner. Yami chuckled at how cute she was when she did that. They sat there just looking at each other.

"Yami?" Kikyo said happily, "Are you okay? You're staring at me weirdly." Yami snapped out and looked at her like he didn't know where he was.

"Uh," was the only word that came out of Yami's mouth. Kikyo laughed quietly. She looked down and then at Yami. Yami blushed slightly. He looked to the side his face from Kikyo as she pulled her hair into a ponytail. Yami looked on while the redness in his face disappeared slowly.

"So, anyway, my cousins were playing DDR downstaird and Zoey tripped on the matt and feel first on the cake," Kikyo laughed. Yami just continued looking at her/ Kikyo stopped laughing and looked at Yami curiously. "Yami?"

"Huh," Yami shook his head and looked at her, "Um, I mean yeah?"

"Ummm, didn't you hear me," Kikyo asked, smiling. Yami looked at her and frowned.

"Sorry, but no I didn't," Yami said disappointingly while looking at her. Kikyo laid a confused look on her face and then just shrugged.

"Eh, it's okay," Kikyo smiled, "I something on your mind? Looks like something is bothering you."

"No," Yami panicked.

"Ummm, so what's up Yami. You got to have a reason to come over, right?" Kikyo smiled. Yami panicked some more. Why DID he come here? He can't just say he came here to admire how gorgeous she was or how completely crazy he was about- Yami shook his head. He wasn't crazy about Kikyo. He was crazy for Tea. A picture f Tea flicked throught his mind. His heart throbbed when a picture of Kaiba flashed thorugh with Tea. He frowned and looked at Kikyo. She's everything a guy could ever dreamed of. She was MORE than what every guy wanted. But then there was Tea. The sweet and caring friend he knew dearly and would take a bullet for her anytime. She too was every guys' dream. He knew Kikyo and Tea were a little bit of heaven on earth, but as far as knowing who he cared and liked more was more difficult to choose from. He refused to make Kikyo an option. Kind of harsh, but he refused to make anybody an option until he got over Tea. But everytime he noticed Kikyo, he felt a sudden urge to go up to her and talk. For some reason, his heart skips a beat whenever he saw her. Unknown to him, he was head over heels crazy about this girl.

"I was just bored," Yami said, relieved for actually saying a logical answer. "Hey let's do something," Yami said, jumping off the bed, a smiled forming on his face. Kikyo smiled and nodded her head timidly.

"Yea, sure that sounds like a good thing," Kikyo smiled and got up from her bed and stopped, "Let's go where?" Kikyo asked curiously. Yami put on his leather jacket and went into Kikyo's closet o reveal a black coat and matching scarf. Kikyo's favorite outfit to wear in winter. He threw it to Kikyo who put it on. She pulled out her clip that holding her hari up and threw it on her desk as her hair fell down. Yami's heart started beating like crazy. He was feeling something he had never felt with anybody before, besides Tea. But even with Tea, this feeling was quite different. Kikyo walked up to Yami and smiled at him as she cocked her head. Strands of hair followed. Yami smiled as he blushed slightly. Kikyo grabbed his hand playfully and smiled. Her hand was so soft and warm underneath his palm.

"Let's go!" Kikyo ran out the door, still holding Yami. Yami laughed.

"Thought you didn't know where to go," Yami smirked. Kikyo stopped and smiled.

"Oh yeah," Kikyo smiled and went behind Yami, "Lead me!" Yami laughed and they went out the door.

They walked out and pile of snow hit the top of their head above after slmming the front door.  The roads and streets were cpvered by a blanket of snowalread. Yami and Kikyo watched as the little kids played a snow fight. Kikyo wrapped her arms around herself and smiled at Yami.

"Hey Yami, look over there," Kikyo pointed behind him. Yami turned around but there was nothing to be seen. He turned around and a hball of snow hit his face. Kikyo laughed on as Yami fell to the floor. His face was covered with snow. She walked in front of him and pulled out her hand to help him up. Yami smiled and grabbed hher hand, only to pull her down with him. Yami laughed as he tried to make a snowball. He tossed it to Kikyo's shoulder. Kikyo turned around and smiled. She mad3e another snowball and flung it to Yami's leg. Yami fell to the floor.

"AH! You have got me dear Miss Kikyo. I-I can't live much longer," Yami said overdramatically. He closed his eyes shut quickly and gasped loudly. Kikyo laughed. She pulled Yami up and they continued walking. They looked around the shops that were already filled with Christmas decoration. Kikyo swung the locked hands with Yami up and down. Kikyo stopped though in front of a shop. She looked at the window that showed a white teddy bear with a red velvet scarf and a candy cane in its hand. She frowned. Yami caught her act. Kikyo continued walking.

"Let's go somewhere else," Kikyo said sadly, "It's pretty useless if I'm just staring at some dumb teddy bear that was so cute." Kikyo stopped walking when she heard no footsteps beside. She turned her head and Yami was nowhere to be found. Kikyo sighed sadly. Probably ran away from me. Kikyo thought. She felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw the exact same teddy bear covering someone's face. The teddy bear then lowered to reveal the person. It was Yami, who was smiling widely. Kikyo's eyes widened and hugged Yami and then kissed him on the cheek. Yami blushed madly and couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you so much, Yami," Kikyo said in gratitude. That was the sweetest thing anyone had done for her. They continued walking.

                Kaiba sat at his office again, typing away. He smiled happily. Kirkhigh Inc. wants to merge with Kaiba Corp eh? Well, too late! Kaiba deleted the email. He was in a joly mood today, ven though his actions didn't prove so. He pulled out his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed a number.

                "Hello," Tea said.

                "Hey," Kaiba said, smile getting wider. Tea strolled down to her bed and landed on it. She smiled.

                "Yes?" Tea said innocently.

                "I was wondering if you want to do something," Kaiba asked. Tea's eyes widen as she smiled.

                "Sure," Tea said playfully. Then she gasped. "Lets go decorating," she said, jumping up and down.

                "When saying decorating, do you mean decorating my house," Kaiba sad nervously. Tea cocked her head.

                "Yes, silly," Tea laughed. She heard Kaiba groan. She smiled, "Oh come on Kaiba. You have to admit. It's Chirstmas! I'l be there in a second."

                "But-," Click. Tea hung up. Kaiba's jaw remained dropped in disbelief. He then shrugged. Atleast he's decorating with Tea.

                The doorbell endlessly. Kaiba ran downstairs and open the door only to be pulled out of his house and into the snow. Tea laughed and twirled around. Kaiba chuckled.

                "I guess you can't wait,"

                "I can't!" Tea giggled while twirling around again. Kaiba leaned o the door post, watching Tea stretch her arms out wide and twirl around,looking at the sky. She smiled. Kaiba stared in awe at her. She's so care free and beautiful. He was lucky that he had her. Tea turned around and smiled at Kaiba mischieviously. She took Kaiba's hand.

                "I have work to do, Tea," Kaiba explained. Tea shook her head and smiled.

                "Come on! Kaiba, it's winter! Almost Chirstmas. You have hundreds of employers so can't they do it," Tea pleaded. "I'll let you pick anything you want," Tea teased. Kaiba chuckled.

                "I want anything though," Kaiba smirked.

                "Not even a little mistletoe?" Tea teased. She looked at the sides of her eyes at Kaiba. Kaiba smirked and nodded his head.

                "Okay, lets go then," Kaiba started walking. Tea laughed and held his hand slowly. Kaiba looked at her as Tea smiled sweetly and affectionately. Kaiba smiled back at those pretty sapphire eyes.They walked into Domino City. Tea smiled and jumped around while still holding Kaiba's hand. It was nice being around him. He seems like the night and shining armor that every girl wanted. Yes. Kaiba was the night and shining armor in her world. She smiled. They walked into a store. Tea looked back at the city where snow was falling. Her eyes widened.

                "It's like a snow globe," Kaiba whirled around to see what Tea was talking about. He raised his eyebrow.

                "You like snow globes," Kaiba asked.

                "I have hundreds of them at my house," Tea exclaimed, " I love snow globes." She twirled around and faced Kaiba, "what do you like?" Tea smiled.

                "A mistletoe," Kaiba smirked. Tea laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck.

                "We don't need a mistletoe for that," Tea teased. Kaiba laughed. Kaiba was about to kiss her when…

                "EXCUSE ME! IFYOU HAVE SOMETHING TO BUT THEN PLEASE MOVE UP IN THE LINE AND IF YOU DON"T HAVE ANYTHING TO BUY THEN PLEASE GET OUT OF THE WAY!" An old lady screamed behind them, "some people just don't have manners," The lady shook her head as Tea and Kaiba blushed madly. They took each other's hand and went out the store. Tea swung her locked hand with Kaiba while holding bags together. Every now and then, they would look at each other, get that warm fuzzy feeling, and smile at each other sweetly. Nothing could be any better than this day.  Doing what they do the best…admiring.
