A/N: Okay I'm doing a little semi-contest thingy where you guys guess what the last chapter will be about. If you guess correctly (or closely enough since I figure no one will get it), you tell me a couple of characters or shows you want me to write about next, preferably 3 so there is a better chance of me knowing at least one of them. Then, after NaNoWriMo, I'll start working on that fic and the Shizuo one I promised I'd work on posting.

I will you give you a hint because the last chapter will be hard to guess (I think.) The hint is that it involves Lavi and explanations. Haha, think hard on that. However, I do advise you read chapter 19 before making a guess.

Also, a picture of the 'present' will be posted on my profile after this chapter is validated.

'H-huh…?' I felt my face burning a flaming red as I got a better look at the object he held out. It was a small white box wrapped with silky white ribbons.

In all honesty, I had absolutely no idea of what was going on. After all, this was Kanda, the proud, antisocial swordsman who was more likely to slice you to pieces than anything else.

"Is t-that…what I t-think it is?" I questioned, trying hard not to stutter and further embarrass myself. I honestly had no idea what it was, but even I could tell it was a present.

'W-why…why is h-he giving me t-this gift?' I pondered, staring at the box. Kanda never gave presents. Not at Christmas, not on birthdays, never. So something was definitely wrong in the world.

Kanda seemed to have lost the little patience he had managed. He roughly snatched my hand and forcefully shoved the box into it.

Now that was more Kanda-like. Though I still couldn't help but bluntly ask, "Who are you and what have you done with Kanda?"

Kanda finally looked at me, albeit with a glare, and growled. "Just open the damn box, woman!" Was that a tinge of pink on his face?

Deciding to do what he said before he got angrier, I returned my attention at the box. I pulled the ribbon off and tied it on my arm, thinking that I could use it as a bowtie for my plushie.

I could feel my face heat up again as I opened the box. I gasped when I saw what was inside. "This is-"

"I saw you ogling at it stupidly on the mission in Spain," he huffed, turning away again.

As he said, it was the necklace that I saw earlier this week on the Spain mission. The necklace featured a sterling silver ferret pendant perched on a clear round crystal.

On the box's lid, the words 'Happy White Day' were beautifully and carefully written in pink. It was clear Kanda had the store owner wrap the box and write the message.

'What's White Day?' I wondered. But then I realized what he just said.

I blushed and waved my free hand around. "I-I was not ogling it! I was appreciating the fine w-workmanship of the necklace!" Even I could see that it was a pathetic lie. I really was ogling the pretty ferret necklace.

I smiled seeing the small smirk on Kanda's face, though he was looking off to the side and trying to appear indifferent.

"Thank you Kanda. I really like it." He tensed when I hugged him, though he made no move to push me away.

"Che." The pink tint reappeared on his face as he placed an arm around my waist, a very un-Kanda-like act.

"And Kanda…those chocolates I gave you…they weren't sweet. I know you hate sweets." I mumbled into chest.

"I know."
