Summary: A Prom... no date... a dance and mistletoe...
Kagura looked to the mirror, no way was that young woman her. Her brown hair was up in a bun and her fringe curled in the same way. Her milk skin was complimented and shown off and perfectly in her strapless dark red dress which was straight to her ankles and had a slinky silk effect. Under the dress were two dark red high heels. This was making up for lost time as she had missed her school prom -even if this one was a Christmas Prom.
Unfortunately Hatori had asked Shigure to chaperone the dance and then decided it would have been better to have someone to keep an eye on the dog when he was around all the 'high school' girls… so thus he asked Kagura. Perhaps even Kyo would notice her this time… maybe even - should she think it? Want to dance with her! It was so exciting; the eighteen year old was so excited and happy.
"Oh Kagi-San, you look pretty." Kisa said. The little tiger was with Hatori with the day so it was obvious she would be here. Now Kagi was the nickname only Kisa was aloud to call her, mainly because it was so cute.
"Arigato." The boar thanked the young tiger. Kagura walked to the door beside Kisa. "I just hope it will be okay for the occasion." Kisa only gave Kagura her weak but cute smile.
Shigure walked out into the hallway where he saw Kagura. The dog blinked but that was all.
"Won't Kyo-Kun be surprised to see me?" Kagura asked. Shigure nodded before they nodded before they walked out to the car where Hatori was going to drive them to Kaibara. Kisa and Kagura sat in the back, Shigure in the front and Hatori driving.
When they finally arrived Shigure exited.
"Hello Shigure-San." Tohru said she was wearing a light blue prom dress. She had her hair up in a high ponytail and had a lily in it. Her date was Yuki even though he wasn't exactly her "date".
"Sensei." Hatsuharu said bowing to Shigure. Shigure smiled back to the domino cow who was wearing a black tuxedo. Kisa pointed outside before speaking to Kagura.
"Aren't you going?" The ginger haired twelve years old asked. Kagura nodded before she knocked on the window.
Shigure looked to the door of the car, he saw two girls walk by behind him.
"Let Kagura-san out, won't you?" He said yelling after the two girls. Haru placed his hand on the car door handle.
"Have a good time." Hatori said to Kagura. Kagura nodded when the door opened.
"Kagura-san?" Haru asked looking at the boar. She looked more of her age and more to the point - beautiful.
"Hello Haru-San." Kagura said avoiding his dark eyes with her own.
Kagura walked out of the car.
"Kagura-Chan. You look pretty!" Tohru said, therefore repeating what Kisa had said earlier. Kagura blushed slightly at this comment.
"Arigato." She spoke silently looking for the orange neko. "Is Kyo-Kun here yet?" The boar enquired.
"No Kagura-san." Haru replied.
"Oh." Kagura said disappointed, the neko must have decided not to have come. Kagura stalked into the school the same way that Shigure had entered.
"Did you hear that Kyo-San was going to tell her tat he didn't love her today, yet he changed his mind quickly?" Haru said.
Tohru only looked shocked - that would have broke Kagura's heart. They both walked to where the prom was being held. Looking around Haru saw Shigure was making a fool of himself as usual; Kagura was handing out the purple punch.
"Arigato." Kimi Toudou said before she went over to where her partner Manabe was. Haru walked over to the 'lady in red'. Kagura handed him some punch. He sipped some of it, grape.
"I hate grape." Kagura sulked slightly. Haru smiled charmingly before handing Kagura some Kagura a glass with some red punch in it from the bottom of the tray. "Strawberry - arigato." The female repeated.
Haru offered Kagura his hand.
"You can thank me by dancing with me." Kagura took has hand as he led her to the dance floor, lots of other couples where up because the classic "Last Christmas" was playing. He placed his other hand on her waist when the girl placed her free hand on his shoulder and they began to dance smiling. Kagura placed her hand on his shoulder then. She was intent to dance with Kyo and now she was dancing with Haru.
By the time the beautiful song stopped and Kagura looked to Haru he pointed to the ceiling. Mistletoe. She laughed - damn parties always had mistletoe. Haru watched as Kagura gave into defeat - or was that lust - and pressed her lips gently to his. The pressure he added onto her lips made the brunette moan; he licked gently a line on her bottom lip asking for entrance to which Kagura gave. Then Haru pulled away, both in need for air.
Haru then led Kagura to a table and chairs where he handed her the rose from the small glass, it was, a romantic red rose. She smiled and was careful not to prick her finger on the thorns. That was something which they could compare her to - a red rose.
