Aoko's POV
(FLASHBACK)
"Okay, everyone! Quiet down, please," Fujiyama-sensei called out at his loudest voice as he entered the classroom. His voice was almost inaudible because of our boisterous class. I, who sat on the third seat of the middle column of the class, was able to hear what he had to say.
"Tomorrow, it would be our class' turn to have our Seniors' Christmas Retreat," sensei smiled nervously. He knew that if he had the guts to shout at us, he'll be facing the class bullies. Kaito, who sat 2 chairs behind me, shuffled his cards. He wore his earphones so he was probably listening to the news or something. "It will be five days so you should probably bring the gifts you want to give to your frie-" Suddenly, at last, the class fell silent. "5 days?" a voice asked. I looked at Kaito, who shuffled his cards, "then the retreat would end on December 26?" he asked again. His shuffling of cards was the only thing that can be heard. "Apparently, yes," sensei smiled. The class groaned and complained. "I'm sorry, but it is the principal's decision to have the last section's retreat this week," sensei looked at me. I smiled as I could see him swallow hard, as if saying, "Help me." I looked out the window as I cupped my cheeks and supported my head up, "this is going to be a long week,' I said under my breath.

As Aoko and Kaito walked side by side, they talked about the next day's retreat. "Man, I hate retreats," Kaito complained, his hands inside his pocket. "Oh, c'mon. It's not that bad. Besides, we get to ski!" Aoko smiled. "Come to think of it, it's isn't that bad," he looked up as if thinking, "that way, I could spend my Christmas with..," his voice faded, realizing what he was suppose to say. "spend your Christmas with who?" Aoko asked him out of curiosity. Kaito nervously smiled, "..with our class, who else?" his sweat dropped. "See? Not bad, huh?" Aoko smiled as she swung her bag. "That was close," Kaito thought with half-moon eyes.
"That way, I could spend my Christmas with you…"

The following day…
Aoko's POV
I was awaken by the slamming of a door. I instantly sat up, "whoa!" I exclaimed. I yawned and walked towards my window and opened the curtains. "Wow, it's snowing hard today," I thought. I could see my dad in a hurry, leaving as his car screeched. I sighed and closed the curtains again. Suddenly, my knees felt weak and I almost collapsed but luckily, I grabbed onto my side table. I put my hand on my forehead, "fever?" I said to myself. I yawned again, "I need to go to the retreat. So that I could spend my Christmas with HIM," I told myself against the mirror.

Kaito's POV
"--Aaaaachooo!--
Someone's talking about me," I said as I rubbed my nose. "It's just the weather, Kaito. Now, quit complaining and drink your hot chocolate before it gets cold," my mom ordered. I took a sip and held the cup, "ah! That's nice," I sighed. "Aren't you suppose to fetch Aoko today?" my mom asked as she sat across me. I nodded, "but it's weird," I scratched my head. "What is?" my mom, who was about to take a bite out of her toast, asked. "I have a bad feeling about today," I took a sip again. "Bad feeling? You're going to spend you Christmas with your first love and THAT'S a bad feeling?" my mom munched on her toast. I look at her with half-moon eyes, "you just don't understand, do you?" I asked. She looked at me like a curious girl. I sighed.
END OF Kaito's POV
------------------
As she put the last batch of rice balls into the lunch box (since she was assigned to bring food), Aoko's head throbbed. She could feel the sweat that was dropping down her forehead. She put the lunchbox on the dinning table, "maybe I just need some rest," as she said this, she collapsed but she was caught by someone's arms. Her eyes widened, "Kaito!" she whispered. Kaito put his forehead on hers. Aoko blushed; their lips were just a few inches away. "Hey, you have a fever," he said, looking at her with his forehead still on hers. "I'm okay," Aoko tried to smile and stood up, "how'd you get in here, by the way?" she asked. "Your father was clumsy enough not to close the door," he grinned as he pointed towards the opened door. Aoko smiled sickly, "wait here. I'll just go up and get my baggage." She climbed up the stairs, breathing hard. Kaito followed her as she climbed.
As she opened her door, she tried to get her bag but a hand suddenly grabbed the bag. "Didn't I tell you to wait?" Aoko put her hand on her waist, trying to be strong. "You couldn't carry anything for now. You need rest. You better not go," Kaito suggested. "I'm okay. I'll go, I'll go," she insisted. Kaito shrugged.
--------------------------
The bus had been traveling for 2 hours now. "Why didn't you stop her?" Akako, who sat behind Kaito and Aoko's seat, asked as she leaned towards their seat. "I told you. She insisted," Kaito replied. He looked worriedly at the person beside him as she breathed hard. "You better take care of my sweet Aoko," a person, who had his detective smile on, said. "Hmph! Why don't you take care of her yourself, Hakuba?" Kaito shot him his angry look with his arms folded for it was freezing. "I would if I could. The only time I could be with Aoko is when you're NOT with her," Saguru Hakuba replied calmly. "Why, you-" "Look at her, she's shivering!" Keiko broke in, pointing at Aoko. Kaito looked beside him and took off his jacket. He placed his jacket on her like a blanket. Akako, Keiko and Hakuba smiled at what he did, "this is going to be a great trip," Akako suddenly said, "my dear Lucifer told me," she smiled.
------------
"Okay, everyone! We're here!" Mr. Fujiyama clapped his hands. Everyone yawned and some of them stretched. Aoko opened her eyes and found herself leaning of Kaito's shoulder. It was a good thing no one saw it, not even Kaito, since he was asleep. As the bus stopped, the student started gathering their bags. Kaito got his bag and Aoko's too. "Okay, people! I'll be giving you your cottage numbers. There would be four people in one cottage but since some of the girls are absent, there would be two boys and two girls in one room," Fujiyama-sensei announced. "What?!" everyone exclaimed. Aoko remained silent. Fujiyama-sensei smiled, "these rooms were assigned by our class president, Saguru Hakuba."
"You better put me with nice people," Akako said with half-moon eyes without looking at Hakuba. "Of course," he winked. "For cottage number 1, let's see, Keiko, Ayami..." As the teacher announced, Kaito took off his earphones. He put his forehead against Aoko. "No kissing!" Akako smiled as she teased. Aoko blush, "no we're not!!" "You still have a little fever," Kaito said. "I'm okay," Aoko smiled cheerfully. Kaito looked at her worriedly. "I'm okay, really," she smiled at him in assurance.
"For cottage 7.. Saguru-san, Koizumi-san, Nakamori-san and Kuroba-san," the teacher looked at his list. "That's unfair! Hakuba and Kuroba in one room!" a boy complained. "What's unfair about that?!" Akako shot back. "Well, every retreat has this mystery game where you'll need all the knowledge!" the boy whined. "So?" Akako folded her arms. "Don't you get it? Hakuba's a detective and Kuroba has, like, I.Q. of 400!" he exclaimed. Hakuba and Kaito looked at each other with half-moon eyes. "Alright! Settle down. This list is final so if anyone would like to complain, please leave," Fujiyama-sensei said. Everyone felt silent, "good. Now, each student will have his or her own key. Please get it from the front desk," he said.

Kaito's POV
Everyone got off the bus and proceeded to the front desk, "please rest in your cottages and we'll be knocking on your doors if lunch is ready," the teacher left.
"Let's see, number 7…number 7…ah, here we are," Hakuba said. "I hope it's big," Aoko said excitedly. As Hakuba opened the wooden door, a great, full-body window welcomed them. It had a balcony outside and the orange-translucent curtains barely covered the sun's shine. There were 4 beds; 2 to the right and 2 more at the left. Sure enough, it was big.
"Whoa!" we all exclaimed except for Hakuba. Aoko entered excitedly and bounced on one of the beds, "so? Is this great or what?" she smiled. "It's good," Akako said in a satisfied matter. However, Hakuba stood by the window, "there is a coffee table outside and 4 chairs," he said as if reporting. I put down our bags and stood by him, "so?" I asked under my breath. "There is a possibility of KID coming here," the corner of his lips curled up, "right?" he asked sarcastically.
Aoko looked at him without standing up, "what do you mean?" she asked nervously. "Because," Akako smiled while her eyes closed, as if thinking, "Inspector Nakamori's daughter is here," she continued, "didn't you inform me yesterday that KID was on your balcony a few months ago?" she asked. Aoko lowered his head, "yeah. So?"
"Well, I think someone likes somebody," Akako smiled as she looked at me. I shot her a "I-don't-know-what-you're-talking-about" look. "But don't worry," Hakuba turned his attention away from the window and towards to Aoko, "if ever he comes, I'll catch him this time," he said with his irritating detective smile. "How can you be so sure?" I asked, sitting down beside Aoko. "Someone's defiant today," he smiled, "let's just say, I have the perfect scheme," he looked at me with a confident smile, as if challenging me. The room fell silent. I raised my right eyebrow as I stood up, "you're on," I muttered as I left. "Kaito?" Aoko stood up. "I'm going out for a while," I waved my hand without looking back, "let's just see about that, Hakuba," I thought. Hakuba and Akako were silent as they stood there, following me with their eyes.
