Kenshin looked at the large tree and sighed.
"We are going to need a ladder, that we are," he said. Aoshi and Sano almost reached the top of the tree, but Aoshi still had to reach quite a ways to put the star on top. Kaoru got a ladder from the storage room and set it up next to the tree. Sano was able to put some of the smaller ornaments on the top of the tree and so was Aoshi. Aoshi didn't say much the whole time, Misao on the other hand...
"Don't you just love Christmas? Everyone's so happy this time of year, and everything looks so pretty decorated! It's my favorite holiday!" She said, rather loudly too. Everyone agreed with her, just to keep her happy. (She was a ninja, after all, and no one wanted to get Misao angry.) After awhile of decorating, the lights were up and so was the garland. A few ornaments were left but everyone was taking a break. Kenshin sipped some tea and smiled.
"I never knew this could be so much fun," Kenshin said. Kaoru blinked. She laughed and was glad that Kenshin was having a good time. She started to daydream about her present, but then Aoshi came up to her with an odd shaped ornament.
"What is this?" He asked. Kaoru blushed and snatched it out of his hand. Yahiko came up to them.
"What do you have, Kaoru? What is it?" He asked, Kaoru opened her hand slowly. It was a poorly made sword ornament. It looked like a banana with a handle.
"It's a sword," Kaoru said, quietly. Yahiko started laughing and even Aoshi smiled slightly. Misao soon came over to look at it and so did Sano. Even Ayame and Suzume wanted to see. Everyone was laughing at Kaoru. "It was when I was young, okay? I couldn't soe very well!" She yelled.
"You can't soe well now," Yahiko said, still laughing.
"Why you!" She cried. She chased him around the hall for awhile. She then went over to the tree and hung it at the bottom. "It's staying there, so no one will complain, right?" She asked, glaring at everyone. They shook their heads. Kenshin walked over to the ornament.
"I think it's rather good, that I do," he said. Kaoru came up to him and hugged him, almost strangling him half to death.
"Thank you! Atleast someone appreciates my art!" She said, staring at Yahiko. He didn't say anything.
Lina: Hope you liked it! Hehe.
Kenshin: That was a sword?
