Well, this is my next chapter. This one was pretty much the ONLY one I had trouble with, so bear with me. It was REALLY HARD!!! It's not only what they would get, but it also has to do with the person whose giving it and their personality. For example, Shigure's was REALLY easy, but I'm not telling you who he picked yet. You'll just have to wait and see!

Hatori didn't really know what he was doing here. He felt awkward and out of place among his younger relatives and his annoying cousins. He figured this must be how Kureno must feel all the time, which only strengthened his resolve to avoid Sohma gatherings. But, it was very hard to decline an invitation from Tohru without feeling very guilty about it, so he decided to tag along anyway.

He listened to Tohru explain the rules with a sort of resigned curiosity (if that makes any sense), and decided that this could be interesting. He felt sorry for whoever Shigure picked in any case. The hat slowly made its way along the line of people, finally reaching his hands. He reached in a pulled out the first piece of paper his had touched.

His eyebrows rose slightly as he glanced at the name on the paper. Yuki.

Well, this would be interesting.

He sighed slightly as he stood up to give Yuki his present. He glanced back down at the present Tohru had given him. He really did like it. Even the seahorse didn't bother him as much as it usually did. She really had changed the family a lot, hadn't she?

He saw Shigure giggle slightly as he handed it to Yuki. He still teased Hatori about his and Yuki's relationship, about how Hatori had felt guilty all those years. Hatori rolled his eyes.

He has no idea…

Hatori was glad to be out of the main house. Akito was really starting to annoy him. She was calling him just about every second it seemed nowadays. And he had shopping to do. He walked swiftly by shop fronts. He wondered if he should get a present for Mayu, but decided maybe he should focus on Yuki's first. Yuki.

Hatori felt a slight dread as he thought about it. He had no idea what to get. He really didn't know what he was interested in. He figured he'd get him a gift card, or maybe something that teenagers use…maybe one of those mp3 player things…? He felt so out of it.

He was just looking into the window of a nearby electronics store when a little boy inside caught his eye. He was looking at some video game, talking with his friends. Hatori felt a familiar pang of guilt. Even though Yuki had forgiven him not that long ago, he still couldn't help blaming himself sometimes. And yet for all the guilt he felt, he had never really tried to get close to his cousin. Why?

At that moment, Hatori resolved to try to become closer to his family. Except Shigure. And Ayame. And he didn't want to get Yuki something that anyone could just pull off a shelf. He kinda wanted it to be special. Which was hard, figuring he didn't know Yuki very well.

Hatori sighed yet again. Yes, this was going to be a challenge. What could he get Yuki to make him smile for once? Make him happy like he was never able to do at the main house. Maybe then, Hatori's soul might ease a bit. Walking up past the many stores, a sign caught his eye.

A very interesting sign. Hatori's eye glinted and he chuckled softly. Yeah, this could work.

Yuki stared down at his present. It definitely wasn't what he expected. Not what anyone expected, really. In fact, nobody really knew what to expect. There was a moment of silence.

Yuki just sat there. His eyes screwed up a little bit. His nose wrinkled. Then he burst out laughing, startling several people nearby. It was an assorted cheese basket. Yuki looked up, red faced and embarrassed.

"I'm sorry Hatori," he said, slightly self-conscious. "I didn't mean to laugh at your present like that." Hatori smiled at him.

"That's okay. It's kind of the reaction I wanted, actually. If you look inside, you'll find a card too." Yuki, confused, riffled through the gouda and cheddar to find a envelope containing a card and 20 dollars. He grinned.

"Thank you, Hatori," he said softly. "But really, you didn't have to do that. The present was enough." Hatori smiled and watched Yuki help himself to a piece of havarti, which he promptly put down. "Oh, I guess it's my turn then."

Hatori sat down, feeling slightly proud of himself despite his better judgment, while Yuki stood up. He smiled down at the gift he had wrapped himself. He was glad at who he had picked. He knew exactly what to get her.

Who did Yuki get? Read on to find out!! Oh, sorry this chapter's a little shorter. Please don't give up on me after this one; like I said, this one was definitely the hardest.
