A/N: So, this is my first time writing Sakaki x Kaori, so don't hate me. And before you ask, Yomi's not present in these drabbles, since the first drabble established that she's in Hokkaido (Which gives me the excuse to write more Tomo x Kagura).


In Tokyo Station, Kaori was excitedly shivering, since Sakaki invited her, Kagura, and Tomo to go to Nagano Prefecture for some skiing and snowboarding. She then noticed Sakaki's tall, lean body in the huge crowd and runs to her crush.

"Sakaki-san," Kaori blushed, "I don't know if I'm worthy enough to be near you!"

Sakaki didn't respond, staying silent as always.

"Oh, I guess that you too nervous to speak up then," Kaori sighed, " I know how that feels."

But then, another voice was heard in the giant crowd: "Yo, Sakaki!"

"Kagura, Tomo, you came," Sakaki said as she sees the two Knuckleheads walk towards her and Kaori, "What took you two so long?"

"Well we got lost in this huge crowd," Tomo answered, "Thank goodness for your height, you stick out like a sore thumb!"

Then the PA in the train station turned on: "Train traveling from Tokyo to Nagano have just arrived at the station. All passengers going to Nagano may begin boarding the train."

"Hey Sakaki, our train's here!" Kagura said, "Let's go!"

And so, the four girls go to their train.


After one long and beautiful train trip through the snow-capped mountains of the Japanese Alps, the four girls finally reached the quaint village of Hakuba. Well, quaint before Tomo and her friends arrived at one of the ski resorts.

"WHITE SNOW!" Tomo shouted, "WHITE SNOW!"

"Calm down, Tomo-chan," Kaori said.

"Yeah, moron," Kagura added, "You better save some of that energy for our little snowboarding race."

"Oh, that's right!" Tomo said, "Sakaki-san, Kaorin, you two enjoy your skiing while Kagura and I go snowboarding!"

"Be careful, Tomo," Kaori pleaded the wildcat idiot as she and Kagura walked towards the snowboard lift. Kaori smiled as she and Sakaki walk towards the ski lift, but unknown to the two girls, a snowman on a snowboard is following them.


As Sakaki and Kaori ride the ski lift up the mountain, Kaori turns her head around only see a snowman on the seat behind hers and turns her head around again.

"Sakaki-san," Kaori whispered.

"Yes, Kaorin?" Sakaki murmured.

"I saw a snowman behind us. Is he going to-"

"Don't worry Kaorin, he's not going to hurt you when I'm around."

"You'll... protect me?"

Sakaki nodded yes, which made Kaori smile. When they reached the top of the ski course, both girls were at first nervous, but as soon as they push their ski poles, all of their worries disappear. The two girls zoomed down the snowy hills, Kaori seeing Sakaki smiling and having fun, which made Kaori even happier since she never sees Sakaki smile back at her during school. But, the snowman that followed Kaori on the ski lift is also following her down the hill.


At the top of the snowboarding hill, the cold, frigid winter air blow in Tomo's and Kagura's hair.

"Kagura, are you're scared?" Tomo asked Kagura.

"Na, Tomo, there's nothing to be afraid about!" Kagura smiled as she pulls down her snow goggles.

"You're right, Kags!" Tomo said, pulling down her goggles as well, "The only thing to be afraid about is losing!"

The two tomboys braced them as gravity started to slowly accelerate down the hill.

"3,2,1, GO!" the two Knuckleheads shouted as they zoomed down the hill. Kagura, as always, wasn't struggling with her board since she's an athlete and had done snowboarding before, but Tomo is struggling with her board, losing her balance and tripping over, tumbling down the hill as the snow started to gather around her body.

"Tomo, are you having-" Kagura paused as she sees a giant snowball with Tomo's head poking out rolling towards her and engulfing her in the process.


Kaori and Sakaki were at the lounge, drinking some hot cocoa as they wait for Tomo and Kagura to come back when suddenly, they heard a loud *thud* from outside. Sakaki and Kaori go outside to see a giant pile of snow with Kagura's and Tomo's heads poking out from it.

"Tomo, Kagura, what happened to you two?" Kaori asked.

"Hehehe," Tomo sighed, rubbing the back of her head in the process, "I have poor balancing skills on a snowboard, so I tripped."

Kaori then giggled at what Tomo said, then Kagura giggled. Even Sakaki giggled. All of the girls giggled until the snowman shows up.

"AHHHH!" Kaori screamed, "That snowman's back!"

"What snowman?" Kagura and Tomo asked.

"The snowman, it seems to follow me wherever I go," Kaori answered.

"Oh poor Kaorin," Tomo assured, "I watched enough of the Pokemon anime to know that's no snowman, that's a person disguised as a snowman!"

"But who will follow me around?"

"12 times outta 10, it's Osaka!" Tomo answered Kaori's question.

"But the problem is Osaka doesn't have a thing with Kaori," Kagura added.

"Oh please Kagura," Tomo retorted, "Every person I know of has a thing with another woman. I have a thing with Yomi and you, you have a thing with Sakaki and me, Yomi has a thing for me, Osaka has a thing with Chiyosuke's pigtails, Sakaki has a thing for Chiyosuke, Yukari-chan and Nyamo-chan have a thing for each other, and Kaorin has more than a thing for Sakaki!" She catches her breath before she continues, "Now that I think about it, most of the people I know are lesbians!"

"We truly live in a small world, aren't we?" Kagura snarked, before seeing Tomo with an evil grin on her face, "Why are you grinning?"

"Oh, Kagura, poor poor Kagura," Tomo smirked, putting out a golden mallet with a pink bow, " I always wanted to do this on a snowman!" She then twirls around so fast that the other girls got dizzy, "Tomo-chan Special: YUKIDARUMA OTOSHI!" She swings the mallet at the snowman's head... and lightly tap the head.

The snowman's head falls apart, but what's inside caused all four girls to turn pale. It's their "beloved" classical lit. teacher: MR. KIMURA!

"Oh, Kaorin!" he said, "It's nice to-"

"GO AWAY, YOU PERV OF A TEACHER!" Tomo shouted, swinging her mallet again and launching Mr. Kimura into the sky.

"Looks like Mr. Kim-Kims' blasting off again!" And he disappeared in a twinkle.

"Tomo-chan, you saved my life!" Kaori said, hugging Tomo in the process.

"Hehe, it's what I'll do!" Tomo sighed, flashing a peace sign in the process.


Endnotes: Finally, Mr. Kimura's got some karma for perving on the high school girls! And if you're confused about Tomo's attack, it's based on a Japanese toy known as Daruma Otoshi, which is a toy where the goal is to use a mallet to get a daruma down without letting it fall over. And since the Japanese word for snowman is "yukidaruma", the pun works. Also, I lampshaded the fact that all AzuDai ships are girl-on-girl (Please, shame me!). Next drabble, Chiyo invites Sakaki, Tomo, Kagura, and Osaka to the Ueno Zoo.

So, read and review!
