Chapter 2

Hi! Just saying, I might not be able to update in a while, I have a BIG, BIG project to do on the Valley of the Kings (Egypt) and an I-search paper. Don't ask about any of it.

But of course, your reviews are just BEGGING me to write, so I will. I just had a GIANT thanksgiving feast, so I'm charged and ready to write.

Once again, I DO NOT own TMM, though I TOTALLY wished I did.

On With The Show!

(Narrator, lol)

We are here with our favorite rich girl as she scans shops for paint, ribbons, wreaths, and other decorations.

(End Narrator, lol)

"Hmm, forest green, aqua green? Eww! Pine green, that's okay. Light green, hmm, that's good. Now what shade of red?" She said to herself, walking along the shelves of stuff. She walked past crimson red, violet red, orange red, and MANY, MANY other shades of red.

"Well, let's see, this one is too dark, this one is too bright, this one doesn't go with this green, um, I can't find one." She continued scanning the shelves and shelves and shelves and shelves of red paint until she found one, really ruby Christmas red. (Sorry, couldn't think of a good name)

"Now, on to the BIG BANNERS! ((1))" Mint (duh is you haven't' figured it out yet) marched past 4 aisles to a place with GIGANTIC, GYNORMOUSLY HUGE banners with things like 'HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!' and 'MERRY CHRISTMAS!' and 'LOOK UP, IT'S A MISTLETOE! MERRY CHRISTMAS!' on them.

((1)) BIG BANNERS: She will end up dead if she gets BIG BANNERS, lol.

"Well, it can't be THAT big, Shirogane would KILL me, and Ichigo would too. –chuckles- They make such a cute couple. If only I could be with ((2)). –sigh-"

((2)) I haven't figured out who Mint is going to be with, I am thinking Kish cuz I want Masaya to end up in HELL, well accually, I want him in hell for being alive and for keeping Ichigo from Ryou/Kish.

At the Café

Ichigo was helping Keiichiro and (surprisingly) Zakuro with the guest list while Retasu, Pai, Tart, and Purin moved everything aside ready for Mint to come in with her "workers" and start decorating.

It was raining hard outside and Keiichiro was worried about Ryou. "I hope he's alright, it's been 2 hours since he went out and it's raining pretty badly." Just then, Ryou came running in, soaking wet and panting.

"OMG RYOU WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?" Ichigo (apparently) heard him come in and took a towel from the upstairs bathroom, draping it over him. "ARE YOU MAD? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" She continued yelling at him.

"Just. Walking when. It started. Raining. Ran back." He panted, shivering, and then sneezed a big sneeze. "Are you alright?" Ichigo felt his forehead and turned into Nurse Ichigo Momomiya.

"You have a fever, come on mister, right to bed." She commanded him helping him up. Keiichiro walked over to help Ichigo support Ryou, who was a little weak, but strong enough to walk. He just wanted to lay his head on her shoulder, taking in her scent.

Together, they helped him up the stairs and into his room, and then into his bed. "Thanks." he managed to breath. Ichigo looked at him, worry and concern flashed across her face. "I'll go make some soup, that's what my mom always did." And with that, she left the room.

Keiichiro sighed, then looked at Ryou, who was sitting up. "What WERE you doing?" Ryou didn't even tried to lie, he knew that Keiichiro would know.

Flashback

Ryou's POV-ish, it's just normal POV with his thoughts and feelings

Ryou walked for a while and reached the mall, he found a few shops with cute things that Ichigo might like, like Ichigo Perfumes and things. But none of them were what he was looking for, nothing was special enough for that girl.

After a while, it started to rain, so he started running back, in a few minutes, it started pouring, so he turned to Alto, who was faster, and changed back right before he got to the café.

End Flashback

"Oh, so, have you decided on what to give her?" "Not really, do you have any ideas?" "I can't really tell you what to do, just that it has to come from the heart, and you don't need to give her anything like perfume or jewelry, anything you think she would like would work." Ryou thought hard about that, it helped a bit. "Thanks, you're a life saver."

Just then, Ichigo came in with a hot bowl of soup and made Ryou cover himself up with the (1,000) extra blankets Keiichiro found. (lol)

"Eat, and rest." She instructed him and looked at the clock. "OMG! I'M GOING TO BE LATE FOR DINNER!" She jumped up and ran towards to door, turning around for a second. "You! Keep your fluids up and GET SOME REST!" She said, rushing out the door.

Keiichiro ran after her, since it was still raining, he had to drive her and the other girls (except for Zakuro who called a limo) home.

Once they left, Ryou drank some more of the soup and put it on his bed side table.

Interruption

Um, this is just a commercial break, except there isn't any commercials.

I have a few things to say before I forget:

#1) Um, I don't really remember if Ryou has a bed side table or not.

#2) I will go insane after Thanksgiving because of all my homework, so be warned.

#3) I NEED some ideas, I pretty much have the presents, just another part of the plot. Any suggestions? Um, I might even do a LettucexPai or TartxPurin moment if you want.

#4) I NEED help with couples. Please fill in the blank:

Pudding Tart as Mint . I need someone for Mint to be with it could be:

A) Masaya (only if LOTS of people want it)

B) Kish

C) an OC (but ONLY is you help me with the names)

Break Over

A.N.: Sorry, but I NEEDED to do that.

Um, that's all I can write, sorry about how short it is, but you ALL should know how hard it is to write LONG LONG LONG chappies, only VERY talented writers like Velf

(she's one of my favorite writers who wrote/ is writing that three part fanfic, Courage of the Spirit, Enchantment of the Heart, and Resilence of the Soul, I LOVE, L-O-V-E, those titles, note that the three fanfics are NOT mine and belong to Velf)

I REALLY NEED MORE IDEAS SO SEND THEM TO ME!

(SORRY ABOUT CAPS LOCK, I AM TOO LAZY TO CHANGE IT IN ANY WAY)
