Ryoten anxiously waited for December. Yukiten's present lay dormant on the nightstand near his bed. He was listening to his favorite songs, first was Thriller. He stopped working to listen.

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination
But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up behind
You're out of time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside of killer, thriller tonight

Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time
(They're open wide)
This is the end of your life

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together
All thru the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen,
I'll make you see

Ryoten tapped his fingers on his desk as he silently sang along.

That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller
Thriller here tonight

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'awl's neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

He picked up his pencil and started working again. Then he began to chew on the eraser. He wished that Yukiten was there with him. For she seemed to understand his math better than him! He sighed as Smooth Criminal came on, he couldn't work with this song on and yet again set his pencil down.

As He Came Into The Window

Aaow!!!

He laid his head on his desk. He could barely do his homework with her on his mind. He then began to pound his head into the desk. It was about three weeks before he could see her. It was driving him insane. "God help me.." he uttered. "I can't do anything with out thinking of her." He wanted to slam his head into the desk but he couldn't because he would break it. "I need some sleep…" He yawned. He climbed on his bed, when he got to it.

Yukiten sat high somewhere to avoid, the opposite sex of the wolves. "Soon, Ryoten will be here." She sighed happily. Her mother was happy for her. She was glad. Everything in her life was perfect. Of course she didn't know how, her father was going to react. But she didn't care. She was happy. Hopefully Ryoten felt the same way. She still felt his lips from awhile ago. She blushed as she remembered the shyness in it. He was nearly scared to death to kiss her. She staid awake for most of the night, she wasn't sleepy. She also wanted to watch for those males, that tried to get up to her.

When Isamura woke up he saw Kikumi asleep. She must have watched me the whole night… A smile curved his lips. His fox ears twitched apparently she barely noticed them last night. His ears turned to the door, he heard footsteps. He was too tired to move. He laid there as the door opened. He saw two males and one female, but he thought there was more. He pretended to be asleep. He heard someone gasp. He then smelled a familiar scent, one of the sweet mountain air, only one person had that smell. "Isamura!" She shrieked. He opened his eyes, as he felt nipping at his left ear. He saw a kit like him except much younger. "Yoko… It has been awhile." The young miko nodded. "You know him?" Taryo asked. "Yes, he's an old friend." Shippou came in and picked Kinmi from her position at Isamura's ear. "I'm sorry about that." The part fox shook his head. "It's alright. She's young." Shippou saw his ears. "Fox, huh?" The fifteen year old nodded. "How do you know him?" She smiled. "He's a childhood friend." Taryo nodded, then looked over. "Oh, I see that my baby sister looked after you." Isamura was surprised. "Kikumi is your baby sister…?"

"Yes, I am Taryo, this is our mother Sango. Father Miroku. And this is Shippou and his daughter Kinmi." Isamura winced, his arm was still as sore as hell, but it was better than last night. "Yoko why are you here?" She smiled at her friend. "Waiting for the miko who holds the Shikon no Tama." "She is a friend of ours." All eyes turned to Kikumi, who sat there calmly. "Really?" Yoko asked. They all nodded. "Yes, she should be here with in a few weeks." The miko only nodded. "Till then me and Isamura will be here." They all smiled. Even Isamura who wanted to get to know Kikumi..
