Summary: It's December 14th, and Kairi and Sora are spending the day together. He decides to show her something out of the ordinary for the second day of Christmas.

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me...


It was a snowy December afternoon, and the sun was high in the sky. The reflection from the sun made all the snow of the ground glitter a light silver. The birds were chirping and it actually wasn't below zero. Sora's house stood in the middle of the neighborhood, and his sidewalks and driveway were perfectly shoveled so the house stood out against the snowy grounds. Roxas and Sora had hung up lights and decorations the previous day, so it was very festive.

As the clock chimed four, Kairi had driven up to Sora's house for a day of relaxation. Roxas and driven to her house to hang around with Namine. They pretty much switched places. Kairi's boots crunched against the cold snow. The contrast was amazing; her hot pink snow boots against the pale color of the ground. She shivered a few times and sighed a heavy breath. Her vision went crossed eyed as she watched her breath form in the air in front of her.

Skipping through the yard, she rang the doorbell to Sora's home, and tapped her foot as she waited for the brunette to gather himself up enough to answer the door. As the front door flew open, Sora stood there in a pair of jeans and a nice, warm, dark sweatshirt, completely contrasting with Kairi. She was wearing a pair of jeans but her sweatshirt was a bright pink.

"Kai!" Sora shouted, wrapping her in a hug and placing a kiss on her cheek. Kairi giggled into his arms and graciously hugged him back.

"Hey, Sora." She smiled. "Can I come in now?" Sora smiled sheepishly and stepped aside so the auburn haired girl could walk in. As he shut the door behind her, she stomped her feet a few times on his carpet to knock the extra snow off. The brunette boy took Kairi's coat and hung it up in the hall closet. For living on their own, Roxas and Sora sure knew how to keep their house clean.

"So, I threw some food in the oven, I hope you don't mind." Sora told Kairi as they walked into the living room. Kairi shook her head with a smile and became engrossed in the Christmas Tree.

"Wow, you decorated this so well."

"I watched my parents a lot." Sora bent over and check the food in the over for a few minutes before closing the door and walking to Kairi. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and rested his head on her shoulder.

"Is there anything festive that you don't have?" Kairi giggled, turning around and giving him a kiss on the lips.

"Not really!" He threw himself back onto the couch and resting his feet up on the coffee table.

"What's that?" Kairi pointed to the tank down the hall. It wasn't bubbling like a fish tank, it was just a pool of water.

"Oh, those are um—well just go look for yourself. I was planning on giving them to you as a surprise. Wasn't much of a surprise now was it?" Sora could be so dumb sometimes. Kairi walked slowly over to the tank and pressed her hands against it as she leaned and peered into it.

"What are—OH!" She exclaimed as one of the small creatures moved. It swam forward a bit and it's head slowly contracted back into it's shell. "They are turtles!"

"Yeah, Roxas's helped me pick them out for you." Sora rubbed the back of his head. A bad habit he had.

"They are adorable." Kairi reached her hands into the tank and pulled out the first turtle; there were two. On the back in white paint, the turtle had small wings painted on the shell. "Are these wings?"

"Yeah, I painted them the other night. There was a meaning—since I am planning on GIVING you the turtles."

Kairi tilted her head in a weird fashion as she studied the small organism in her hands. "It's a Turtle Dove!" She proclaimed loudly, beaming at Sora for her accomplishment to name this creature.

"How the hell did you come up with that name?" Kairi completely ignored the question and put the turtle back in it's tank before hugging him full force.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

"What are you talking about?! How did you come up with that name?" It was obvious Sora was oblivious to the song.

"I'm going to name them Fuzzy Wuzzy," She pointed to one turtle, "And Clyde." She stated pointing to the other.

"Clyde?"

"Yes. Clyde." Kairi walked out into the hall of the house and turned to face him with her arms behind her back. "I think it's so romantic that you got me two Turtle Doves." She smiled sweetly. Little did she know she was standing under mistletoe.

"It was all part of the plan, Kairi." He walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist before capturing her lips with his. It startled her for a moment before she melted into the kiss.

Sora had no idea what two turtle doves meant at the time.

...Two turtle doves.
