Author's Preview:

Sorry, I've forgotten to do this for a while. But it's been in order:

Disclaimer: I do not own Furuba or any of the characters, plot, etc. Just Cho and his wife. And Aiko. And all other characters that I came up w/ that are minor. -bows-

Accomplishments for me: I started writing this chappie THE SAME NIGHT as I posted chapter 8. Whoop! .

Now to the story... -plays intro music-

"Safety gear."

"Check."

"Map of rink."

"Che–"

"Oy! You people! For all we know, Kisa could be out there, trapped in some ice that broke beneath her, and you two are checking for stuff like "ten-foot pole"! Hurry! You're wasting time!" Hiro yelled at Tohru and Momiji.

"Silly Hiro! That's why we would need to have a ten-foot pole! If Kisa's stranded, we'd need something to reach her with. Then we could make sure we bring her back safely to her mutti!" Momiji smiled, still checking off items on Tohru's list.

"You're right, Momiji-kun. Hiro-san, you a bit longer; we're almost done."

"Well while you stupid, slow people keep checking off your list, I'm going to go find Kisa myself!"

"Wait, Hiro-san! It's not safe!" Tohru worriedly cried. But Hiro was already gone. Momiji shrugged and turned back to the list.

"C'mon, Tohru! We've got everything, so let's go!"

"Okay! But Momiji...how did Hiro-san get here? I don't remember him coming..." Tohru looked confused, and after a second, Momiji did too.

"Hmm...I don't know, Tohru. But it's okay he's here, right? Even though he's silly...hee-hee!"

"Of course!" And the two forgot all about it.

(About two feet away, lurking in shadows that have suddenly appeared on the reflective and sunny ice...)

'My identity was almost stolen! I better keep quiet...' thought Hiro, a.k.a Super Attitude Kid, nervously. For Super Attitude Kid had the power of knowing when his "not-so-secret crush" was in danger. Now, back to the story.

Just as Tohru and Momiji were about to head to the other side of the lake, a hand clasped Tohru's shoulder, and a familiar voice sounded.

"Where is my beloved Yuki, Tohru-kun? Have you seen him? It seems as if he is hiding from me...but he wouldn't do that! Our brotherly bond is too strong!"

"I'm not sure where he is, Ayame-san! I think he went that way, though..." Tohru nervously exclaimed, pointing in the direction she saw him go last.

"Thank you, dear Tohru-kun!" Ayame flattered, kissing her lightly on the cheek. Tohru blushed furiously, hiding her face in her hand. Until a while after Ayame left, she just stuttered stupidly.

"Kisa! Where are you...?" Hiro half-heartedly whispered after searching for the Tiger for a while. If he was allowed to, he'd be cussing right then. After skating around for a few more minutes, Hiro decided to go get some hot chocolate; he was freezing his butt off! On coming up on the small stand, a high pitched giggle was heard. A familiar giggle. Kisa's small laughing.

"K-kisa!" he yelled, looking bright all of the sudden. But what he saw made him stop in his tracks. There was Kisa alright, but she...didn't look too sane. In fact, she looked like someone Hiro would be ashamed to know.

"Oh! Hiro-kun! Hee-hee!" She giggled running towards him. He gawked. That's all I can say.

(Author's Note: Lol.)

"This nice man came up to me and offered me something he called a "spiked drink". It tasty...fizzy! Hehehehe..."

(Author's Note (again): Yup. Partly drunk Kisa. XD But don't get offended. It's a fanfic; ridiculous, unmanga-listic things WILL happen. So don't make a big deal about it.)

"Uh...Kisa...let's go," Hiro commanded, still a bit shocked. "Now." He finished, finally composing himself.

"Aww...but Hiro-kun, I was having fun..." Kisa protested, still being dragged off by a pissed Hiro. Kisa tried everything, but even her Tiger-eyes didn't work. So she just talked in slurred language. Over. And over. And over. Again. Well, you get the point. The girl was a bit stoned.

"Hey, stupid woman!" Hiro yelled, coming upon a clueless Tohru.

"Yes, Hiro-kun?" she answered, still a bit confused. Hiro dragging a wobbly looking Kisa was rare.

"Kisa's...well...let's just say she's not bein' herself. Can you take me an' her home before she does anything drastic?"

"Of course! But...I can't drive..."

"Fine, you inconvenient woman. I'll ask Hatori."

"Hatori! I need you to take Kisa and me home! Some dude gave her a spiked drink." Hiro commanded Hatori. He just looked back, a bit shocked. But of course, he didn't show it.

"Yes. Let me get my keys." And so the three left.

"Where's Haa-san!" cried a desperate Shigure in agony.

"Well...uh...he had to take...Kisa home," answered a nervous Tohru. If she told Shigure, nobody would see the end of it!

"Hmm...but why?"

"Uhh...she...was feeling bad...yes, that's right!" And of course, Shigure didn't fall for it. And so another search began. But this time it was the search for the missing answer.

Author Conclusion:

Sorry if anything in this chappie didn't make sense; I don't think I was fully awake when I wrote it! Anyways, again, I may not be updating for a couple weeks. Just keep your eyes open and me on your favorites list! XD

Until next time!

And also, I will continue thanking everyone for support and reviews.
