Day 3: The Figgy Pudding Incident
Kenshin walked out into the cold and saw his breath on the air. It was snowing out. His feet made footprints on the snow. He thought of the two aunts that had protected him in the revolution, and closed his eyes tightly. Sano walked into the dojo and saw the sad Kenshin.
"Hey, have you gotten Kaoru anything yet?" He asked. Kenshin shook his head. "How about you tell her how you feel about her?" Sano asked. Kenshin almost fell backwards.
"Oro?" He asked.
"Come on, you know what I mean," Sano said, going up to him and nudging him in the shoulder.
"No, I don't," Kenshin said, still confused.
"Oh brother... then I don't know what to get her," Sano said. He walked into the dojo. Kenshin decided to go to the kitchen and start on the figgy pudding. He read in a book somewhere that it was a traditional Christmas dish. So he decided to try and make it. He was very good at cooking, that he knew. Kenshin was humming a random song when Yahiko came in. He smelt the figs and wrinkled his nose.
"What is that horrible smell?" He asked.
"Oro? It's figs. I'm trying figgy pudding," Kenshin said, turning around. The pot on the stove started bubbling. Steam was coming from the pot and soon, figgy water was everywhere. Kenshin had figs in his hair and so did Yahiko. He quickly turned and turned off the stove. He sighed.
"Maybe you should stick to fish," Yahiko said, laughing.
"I wanted to give some to Kaoru, since I know she likes Christmas so much," Kenshin said, sadly. Kenshin and Yahiko started to scrape the figs from the walls. Kaoru walked in and so did Sano.
"What happened here?" Kaoru asked, a little angry to see her kitchen in such a mess.
"I tried to make figgy pudding for you. But it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, that it did not," Kenshin said, face still wet. Kaoru blushed.
"It's okay. I'm not that fond of figs," she stated, Sano started laughing. "For one, you don't use the stove to make figgy pudding, you use the oven, silly," he laughed.
Lina: Hope you liked! The figgy pudding joke has been in my family for years. We just think it's a weird title for a Christmas desert. Plus, I won't be able to finish this fic before Christmas, since it's tomorrow. So I'll try and finish it by the end of the this year. Sorry! Merry Christmas everyone!
Kenshin: Figgy pudding... oro?
