Author's note: Thanks to everyone for reading and for all of the wonderful reviews! I'm so happy that you're enjoying my stories. I plan on posting one every morning as long as I can. Most of these were actually written 4-5 years ago, but I'm also going to be posting some brand new ones now and again.
Title: A Close Shave
"Pink is for a girl, of course, but blue is pretty, too. Which do you like better, Hiro-chan?"
"I could not possibly care less."
"Hiro-chaaaaan," Kagura whined, "this is for your little sister. Don't you want to help me knit her an adorable blanket?"
Hiro sighed. "Do what you want, but I won't help you."
Kagura brightened. "Oh, I only need a tiny bit of help."
"What?", he asked, eyes narrowing.
"Just help me get the wool."
Hiro had a sinking feeling. "Help you... how?"
From behind her back, Kagura pulled out a pair of electric clippers. "It's shearing time!"
The title comes from the brilliant Wallace and Gromit short of the same name. This was originally written in honor of the birth of Hinata Sohma, Hiro's little sister, who first appears in manga chapter 103.
