Mizuki was the first one to wake. She stirred with a yawn later that afternoon and sat up to see Aki and Takara still snoozing away. The wolf chuckled and pushed herself nimbly to her feet, making her way silently from the room. She stifled a yawn as she walked down the hall heading for the kitchen. "Hey guys," she greeted and snatched an apple from a basket of fruit that sat on the counter.

"Hello," Kurama returned kindly, a smile brightening his face. Hiei and Sesshoumaru just nodded in acknowledgment and kept silent. "Are Takara and Aki still asleep?" the redhead asked conversationally.

Mizuki replied, "Yeah, they're sleeping like logs.. as usual. I wouldn't expect them up until about 7 or 8." She grinned at the simultaneous sighs she got from the three boys, seeing as it was only 2 o'clock at the moment.

"How's your cold?" Kurama inquired setting down his cup of tea after taking a sip.

"Hm?" Mizuki had to think for a minute before she recalled she had a cold, just like her sisters, "Oh.." She inhaled deeply through her nose then smiled a wide grin, "It's almost gone! I'm still a little stuffed up, but.. meh... I feel a lot better than I did before," she laughed along with Kurama, who chuckled.

"That's good," Kurama said then stood up. "You can take this medicine though if you like. It helps with congestion," he suggested and handed her a bottle of some liquid.

"Great," Mizuki grumbled, glaring at the bottle.

"What's wrong with you?" Hiei asked monotone, noticing her face. He sat at the table, his head propped up on one of his hands, and his lazy gaze swept over the wolf.

"Nothing," Mizuki sighed dramatically then uttered, barely loud enough for a demon to hear, "stupid medicine.. I hate taking this yucky-tasting stuff..."

Hiei smirked, "Hn," and fell silent again while Sesshoumaru sneered at her silently and Kurama chortled.

"Hm," Mizuki suddenly hummed, her brain beginning to work good now that she was awake and more alert. A grin came over her face all of a sudden. "I've got an awesome idea!" she exclaimed to the boys, a smile reaching from ear to ear on her face.

Sesshoumaru just looked at her sideways then rolled his eyes and ignored her while Kurama gave her a questioning look. "Oh Kami, she's got an idea," Hiei sighed.

Mizuki glowered at him and shrieked an indignant, "Hey!" She hmph'ed and crossed her arms over her chest, turning away from the three guys.

Sesshoumaru and Kurama sniggered at Hiei, who glowered at them then at Mizuki. "Why are you always so difficult?" the fire demon asked in frustration.

"Hn," Mizuki replied stiffly.

Kurama was silently chuckling, a hand cupped over his mouth to stiffle the sounds of laughter, but he was failing pretty bad, and Sesshoumaru just smirked at Hiei.

"That's my line," Hiei stated angrily.

"Hn," came the wolf's short reply.

"Stop it," Hiei demanded, getting annoyed.

"Hn," Mizuki continued to repeat the same thing over and over again after anything Hiei said.

"Alright already, I'm sorry I said anything.. Now what was your idea? Spit it out," Hiei growled irrately.

Mizuki giggled and spun on her heel to face the three guys again, a big smile plastered on her face. "I think that Kurama and Sesshoumaru should go buy flowers and chocolates and set them beside Takara and Aki's beds before they wake up! It'd be so romantic!"

"Hmph, why would we do something like that?" Sesshoumaru asked in a monotone voice, eyes resting lightly shut as he sipped on his cup of green tea.

"Because," Mizuki whined, "girls like to feel special.. They like to be appreciated!" She stomped her foot, as if to make a point, and waited for one of the guys to say something.

"How would you know?" Hiei asked boredly.

Mizuki heaved out a sigh, "Hello? I AM a girl?" She watched with a raised brow as Hiei blushed lightly, "Yeah... THERE you go," she laughed when she saw he got it.

"But we don't know what kinds of flowers or chocolates either of them like," Kurama answered logically.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, and you two call yourselves their boyfriends," Mizuki rolled her eyes, and Sesshoumaru and Kurama flushed lightly. She giggled, "Nah, I'm just kidding. I can't expect you guys to know everything about us. Anyways, I know what they like, so don't worry about it! Come on! Get up and get ready! We have to do this and get it done before they wake up!"

Sesshoumaru and Hiei studied her cautiously momentarily, only standing up after Kurama had. Then they all headed to grab their coats and leave, Mizuki ushering the not-as-enthused boys before her. Kurama was pretty cooperative, but Hiei and Sesshoumaru were harder to get moving.

As they made their way down the street, Mizuki chattered on about different things with Kurama, but Hiei and Sesshoumaru kept pretty silent. "Oh, look, there's a flower shop!" Mizuki said excitedly and pointed out a small flower shop they were coming upon. "Come on, let's go inside!"

The three boys followed the excited wolf into the flower shop, and Mizuki immediately began running around looking at all the flowers. "Oh, oh! Kurama, Takara LOVES roses! You should get her a bouquet of red, white, and yellow ones! Those are her favorites!" she said, dragging Kurama over to a wall that had lots of different roses. "And Sesshoumaru," her voice trailed off as she glanced around, the dog demon's arm already grasped in her hands, "ah! Sesshoumaru! Aki just adores lillies! I'd say a dozen white ones..." She pulled Sesshoumaru over to a stand of lillies and grinned up at him.

Sesshoumaru sighed and nodded, "If you think she'll like them..."

"I know she will," Mizuki grinned madly. Then, she wandered back over to Hiei. "Hey," she said to him.

"What?" Hiei asked.

Mizuki kissed Hiei's cheek and giggled at the blush on his face, "Nothing. Just wanted to say hey."

"You're a weird one alright," Hiei smirked and wrapped an arm lightly around her waist, "but that's what I like about you," he whispered the last part into her ear, tickling her human-appearing ear. She had almost forgotten to shift to her human form on her way out of Kurama's house, but the guys had stopped and reminded her.

A light blush swept over the wolf's cheeks, and she giggled. Her and Hiei just stood there talking to one another about whatever popped up until Kurama and Sesshoumaru had bought their flowers. "Okay, on to the chocolates!" Mizuki exclaimed, and they were off again, on their way to a candy store that was closeby.

"Oh wow.. look at all the chocolates," Mizuki murmured drooling slightly. She loved chocolate! But she shook her head and said, "Okay... Aki loves milk chocolate with caramel candies.. These right here, Sesshoumaru," she told the dog demon and pointed to a case. Sesshoumaru nodded and went over to look while the wolf turned to Kurama, "and Kurama, Takara favors dark chocolate, so anything like that over there she would probably like," she pointed Kurama in another direction and sent him off to pick out some candies.

"Aki and Takara owe me big time for this," Mizuki grinned and decided to buy herself a chocolate-chip cookie while she was there. "Hey, Hiei, I'm getting a chocolate-chip cookie, you want one?" she offered heading for the counter, but Hiei shook his head and leaned against a far wall, apparently – but not necessarily – bored. He was actually watching every move Mizuki made, seeing what she would stop and look at.

"Mm, cookie!" Mizuki cheered as she leaned against the wall beside Hiei. "I love chocolate," she sighed happily after taking a bit of chocolate-chip chewy goodness, a bright smile on her face.

Hiei eyed her out of the corner of his eye then smirked. He leaned over and bit into her cookie just as she did. He snatched a bite away and kissed Mizuki on the cheek lightly then leaned back against the wall.

"I asked you a minute ago if you wanted a cookie," Mizuki rolled her eyes as she spoke, smile still intact and in place.

"I didn't want one of those cookies, I wanted part of your cookie," Hiei smirked, "it's sweeter that way."

"Aw," Mizuki cooed, causing Hiei's smirk to fall away and a blush to dust his cheeks as he grumbled something incoherent, and the wolf laughed and tore off more of her cookie to hold it up to Hiei's mouth. "Here," she said, but the fire demon blushed deeper and kept his mouth shut. Mizuki sighed and put the piece to her mouth, about to eat it. It was halfway in her mouth when Hiei leaned back over and kissed her, carefully biting off half of the piece of cookie. He drew back and chewed on the gooey cookie, a smirk on his face. Mizuki just laughed.

"Ahem," Kurama cleared his throat from his spot beside the tall dog demon, both holding a bag of chocolates each. Hiei and Mizuki blushed deeply and tried to stammer out something, but the yoko chuckled and held a hand up to calm them down. "Let's just head home before Takara and Aki wake up," Kurama said.

With that, the four returned home. Luckily, Takara and Aki were still sound asleep, so Mizuki quickly got things set up. She placed the bouquets and chocolates beside both girls' beds and slid out of the room giggling silently. Then, she went to join the guys downstairs to pass the time until the two girls woke up.

And, finally, at about seven o'clock, as Mizuki had predicted that afternoon, Takara woke up and yawned, stretching her muscles as she looked around groggily. "Mm.. What time is it?" she grumbled.

This question woke Aki up, who had barely been awake in the first place. "I d'no... Jus' forget it.. 'M still tired..." She rolled over, and her hand landed on something beside her futon. "Hm?" she slowly sat up and looked down. "What?" she blinked owlishly.

"Hey, what are these flowers and chocolates doing here?" Takara asked confused and picked up the items in question. She plucked the card from the flowers and read it in a murmur, " 'A small token of my affection... Love, Kurama.' ... Aw, that's sweet..." She picked up the chocolates next and smiled, "Yay!" Then, she turned to Aki and said, " Look what I got!"

Aki glanced up at Takara from her own bouquet of white lillies, a card in her hand that read 'Don't you like lillies? If not, kill Mizuki, not I... Sesshoumaru.' The box of chocolates sat in her lap as well. "Mizuki?" the dog demoness guessed with a roll of her eyes.

"Mizuki," Takara laughed, "but oh well... this is nice to wake up and find something like this lying next to you as a surprise!" She stood to her feet and headed for the door. "I'm going to go downstairs and thank them. You coming?"

"Yeah," Aki answered thoughtfully and pushed herself to her feet, fighting off the light blush that was trying to invade her cheeks.

Together, the two went downstairs to see everyone.

Shi: Shorter than I would've liked, but meh... if you can be patient, I'll write it longer...
Kit: I dunno.. we'll have to see.
Aki: I just want it to be my turn, dangit!
Shi: -rolls eyes-
Kit: Anyway, go to bed now, Shi. You've got school tomorrow!
Shi: Stupid school... ah well.. ttyl!
Kit and Aki: ttyl!
