Lina: Here it is! It's very cheesy, so beware! Hehe.
Kenshin: oro?
Day 8
Yahiko woke up with a shiver. He saw it snowing through the bamboo sliding doors. He got up and got dressed. He thought of going over the Akebeko, so he took his sword and strapped it to his back, just in case he might need to save someone. (Of course he was thinking of Tsubame at this point.) Yahiko went outside in the cold, snowy yard, his face a little red. He saw Sano walking past the door.
"Sanosuke, what are you doing out?" He asked, walking up to him. Sano stopped and turned to him.
"Oh, just taking a walk. Thought I would see what Megumi was doing," he said, his face also started to get a little red. Yahiko smiled.
"Have you gotten anything for her yet?" He asked. Sano shook his head.
"I'm not sure what to get, that's why I'm taking a walk also. If I see something I'll get it," Sano said, staring up at the sky, snow falling in his face.
"Do you have any money?" Yahiko asked, laughing.
"Yeah, I just won a big bet with one of my friends. If you want, I could lend you some for Subame's present," Sano said, smiling.
"You? Lend ME money? You should pay the Akebeko back before anything," Yahiko stated, starting to walk towards the restaurant. Sano blinked and followed Yahiko.
Meanwhile, Kenshin was sitting in his room, just staring at the wall. Kaoru knocked on the door.
"Um... would you like some hot chocolate?" She asked. Kenshin stood up and opened the door to see the blushing Kaoru. He smiled.
"Sure. What is it?" He asked.
"It's a mixture of cocoa and milk heated up. It's famous in America," Kaoru replied.
"Okay, sounds good. I'll be in the training hall, that I will," he said. Kaoru nodded and went off to make the hot chocolate.
Yahiko went into the Akebeko and found Tae working, but not Tsubame. He went up to Tae.
"Where is Tsubame?" He asked. Tae smiled.
"She went out shopping. She said she had to get something special for someone," she replied. Yahiko blushed a little. Sano just kept walking around, trying to find something for Megumi. He saw a lot of food, which he though she would like. But he would have to wait until the day before Christmas in order to get that. Although he couldn't pass up taking some nikumen. (Pastry stuffed with meat.)
Lina: Yep, it's the end of the chapter, I know, it's a weird spot. But it works. Hehe. Sano stuffing his face is always good!
Sano: I do not always stuff my face.
