Chapter 3, Too hot to handle.

It was sundown and Rika had just gotten home and the first snow fall had begun,

Renamon thought to her self "that's right, Christmas is almost here..." the kitsune got a

slight shiver from the cold as it was now dusk and went inside to greet Rika. It was

now early morning on a Friday, Renamon was sitting upright against a wall inside one

of the guest rooms in the Nonaka home thinking to herself when the silence was

disturbed by loud voices coming from down the hall, she stood up as Rika slid open

the door saying that there had been a record snow fall over night and that all schools in

the area where closed so she'd be staying home, after Rika shut the door Renamon

went back to meditating. It was near noon of the next day and Rika was trying to

sleep-in till her slumber was disturbed by a strange scraping sound outside, she

wondered into the kitchen and sat down at the table as her grandmother past her a

fresh cup of tea, her mother sat down beside her and explained that she had hired

someone to shovel their walk and driveway. Rika walked over to the window and

watched what seemed to be a young man shoveling their driveway, he was half done

when he stopped to wipe the steam from his sunglasses and looked up to see Rika

in the window watching him and waved at her, she blushed realizing she was still in her

pajamas and quickly turned away from the window and walked back to the table, the

young man stood there for a second then shrugged his shoulders and got back to

shoveling. He finished and walked up the porch and to the door and knocked, Rika's

grandmother opened the door and invited him in for something hot to drink, he walked

inside and Rika's grandmother closed the door while he removed his jacket, boots,

hat, and sunglasses. The young man had long dark brown hair to his mid back in a

tight braid, he also had dark brown eyes, stood about six feet three inches tall

and was white, Rika's grandmother led him to the kitchen, sat him down at the table

and went to put a kettle on all the while asking him things like how old he was or if he

was single, he confessed to being eighteen and that he was indeed single while he took

a look around the room, he heard someone walk into the room and turned in seat to

see who it was, standing there in the doorway was a young girl, someone who seemed

to be her mother at best guess and something that made him freeze in place.
