"Let's get this party ON!"

Natsuki smacked herself; Kara, Ayame, and Grace were already drunk BEFORE the party had started. Plus, no one was there yet, and Natsuki had to set up by herself.

"Gah, meanies…"

Natsuki finished up all the food at the side, and waited for everyone to pile in for the Christmas party.

Kiana, Anzu, Ryu, Shin, Kazuko, and Kenju arrived, dropping a load of boxes below the Christmas tree, and they all got comfy in Kara's house, talking and laughing.

Soon, Anzu left, but for another party, Natsuki didn't know all the details.

Hisa and Ayuki came, argued a bit, but relaxed and the two joked around with everyone else.

Soon after, Shizuru came, looking as beautiful as ever. Especially to Natsuki, who had her eyes on Shizuru the whole party.

--

Natsuki gathered food onto her plate, grabbed a soda, and sat in the couch next to Kazuko, sipping slightly before shoving chips down into her mouth and then eating some chicken.

Bad combination, especially when Kazuko eyed Natsuki when she squirt a whole glob of mayonnaise on her chicken.

"Eew, how can you eat that stuff?" Kazuko complained, sticking out his tongue and twisting his face in disgust. "Nasty, nasty, nasty…"

Natsuki jumped when she heard Shizuru's laugh.

"Natsuki, Kazuko-kun is right, its unhealthy for you…I don't want you to be unhealthy…"

Natsuki sighed, and put down the chicken, and looked up. "Sorry…"

Ayuki snickered, while sneaking around the table and under the table to pour some type of pepper-looking material on Natsuki's chicken, but froze when Hisa stared at her, telling her not to do it. Ayuki obediently obeyed.

"You're soo my bitch now…"

Ayuki flared up, glaring at Hisa. "No! I'm just gonna listen to you cause everytime I don't listen to you…things I enjoy which you people do not enjoy happen to happen."

"And whats that supposed to mean?"

"I don't know, maybe you should look it up!"

"But you said it stupid!"

"I'm Not Stupid!"

Another little argument, but 5 minutes later, both ended up rolling down the aisles in laughter. Ryu sighed, punching Shin lightly on his shoulder. "Hey man, this isn't fair. Why is everyone turning lesbian-ish…?"

Shin shrugged. "I don't know, but its hot…"

"Indeed it is."

Priscilla and Kiana jumped into the room, pulling Kara into the room. "Gah, Kiana! Stop you bickering fool or thou shall cut thy head off!"

"Yeah, yeah, you wanted to have the party here just cause your in college…anyways, its time for the ritual!"

Ayuki grinned. "Yes, sacrifice time!!! Let's cut off a toe and rip off our finger-"

"-Ayuki wants to cut off her toe and rip off her fingernails, lets do it for her," Hisa grinned and held Ayuki so she was trapped. Ayuki shrieked in fear, flailing her arms so she could get lose.

"I was kidding, kidding!"

Hisa laughed, "You're really cute when you get scared…"

Ryu and Shin coughed, "Lesbian-ish-ism!!!" they muttered under their breath so only each other could here.

Priscilla laughed. "Aww, such a cute couple," and backed up when the two glared at her, "…anywaaaaaays…its gift exchanging time! Okay, first up…Natsuki!"

Natsuki heard her name and look around like a lost puppy, and then back at Shizuru, and then back to Priscilla with big eyes.

Priscilla turned around, grabbed Kiana, and whispered, "God, how the hell can she look so curious and innocent for her rebellious lifestyle?!"

Kiana shrugged. "I. D. K. My bff Jill?"

Priscilla pouted, "I thought I was your best friend!"

Kiana froze. "I. D. K, My bff Priss?"

Priscilla cheered, and then went back to the present hand out. "Here, this is from Grac- Grace? Where'd she go…"

--

In Grace's Room

--

Grace smiled evilly, "Mwhaha, Shizuru's left side is her good side…oh my…ahahah…fufufu…"

--

Back at the Living Room

--

"Okay, anyways, Here yah' go Natsuki, Grace got you a…square…rectangle. Well, I can't know until you open it Natsuki!"

Natsuki rushed towards Priscilla and unwrapped it, uncovering a box of the latest Motorcycle model.

"Ah, OMG! I was looking for this! So adding to my collection…wait…how did Grace know I collected mini-motorcycle models…"

The room was silent, except Kara, who coughed awkwardly, and fidgeted in her seat.

"Oh well."

Priscilla smiled. "The next present is to Kazuko, from Natsuki!"

Kazuko rushed up to Priscilla, sat on her lap, took the box, kissed her on the cheek, said, "Thanks Santa!" and rushed back to cuddle with Kenju while opening the box. Natsuki had gotten Kazuko four skateboard wheels, each said 'Cobalt Blue' in blue in a graffiti looking font with a black background and blue neon streaks.

"Oh SWEET! Haha, Priscilla, this is the perfect time, but get mine for Natsuki's out!"

Priscilla looked in the pile, immediately fond Kazuko's horrible hand-writing, and pulled out a long rectangular box.

Natsuki was amazed by the size, and opened it, shrieking. "Holy crap, a skateboard!"

The design was black and blue wolf howling, next to a blue imprint of the words Cobalt Blue, but with regular black wheels. "Haha, we match now."

Kazuko grinned, and the two scurried to go play with their new toys outside, but was stopped when Kiana forcefully- or kindly, told them to get there asses back in until trading presents was over for everyone.

"Okay, the next one is to Kiana…from Anzu! Who is currently ditching our party to crash at a Senior Christmas Party, but oh well!"

Kiana grabbed Anzu's present to her from Priscilla with speed, and opened it up. Inside was a cassette, and written on it was the words, Eternal Resonance.

It was a song.

Kiana slid the cassette into her backpack, and took up the next present to announce it. "To Shizuru, from Natsuki."

Shizuru stood up slowly, and then rushed over like a greedy child to take the present. Unwrapping it, Shizuru's eyes watered when set upon the silver chain. She lifted it up, and admired it, it was a Amethyst outlined with a heart with a silver outline behind it. It was a necklace.

"Turn to the back," Natsuki told her, which Shizuru did.

Stay with Me Forever – Natsuki Kuga, Your Best Friend.

Shizuru blushed immensely.

"Another one for Kiana from Kazuko!" was the shout the broke the paralyzing moment Shizuru was in, before she put the necklace on. It fit snuggly, right between her breasts.

"Woot! Another Skateboard from Kazuko! Except mine is silver and blue!" Natsuki and Kiana started to chit-chat, talking about how much skateboarding they would do, all excited, and now, Natsuki had a transportation without getting caught without a license on her motorcycle, of course, she'd still ride it.

"To Ryu, from Shizuru and Natsuki."

"Ahhh, freaaakin Sweet! I like the Shirt!!!"

"To Shin, from Kiana"

"Holy crap man, a freakin ipod. What the hell, you're rich Kiana."

"To Kara, Grace, and Ayame, from Shizuru"

Grace ran out of her room, and with Kara and Ayame, they looked at the big package before ripping apart its outer shell.

"JEEZUS CHREEST! Freak, you got us our own Wii…yeeeeeeeeeyy!!!"

Everyone laughed as they started to fight over it, Grace got a knife, Kara found a gun, but in the end, Ayame pratically seduced them and won it for the first time to play.

"Yay! To Me, from Kazuko! And YAY, wow, for a gay boy you have a nice taste in clothes, I love this jacket." Kiana grinned.

After that, everyone just dug in until the last present, to Shizuru who bought them so many mother-fucking expensive things.

"To Shizuru, from…all of us!" they said in union.

Shizuru looked in the bag and pulled out a Picture frame. Kiana picked up a camera, told everyone to hold up the gifts they received, and put the auto-timer on, and ran into the middle with her skateboard and jacket.

"Kodak Moment!!!"

Flash.

--

It was the morning, sunlight drove its way through the unfamiliar window panes.

Anzu opened her eyes, and stretched, until she felt an unusual rush of cold to her body.

She jumped up, and pulled a blanket over her, why oh why was she naked?!

Looking around, she recognized the scent. Turning her head slightly, she saw a bump in the bed, most likely another living being.

She took a deep breath, and lifted up the covers.

It was Trent.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

TBC.

Not much of a storm, but it is the first strike.

Anzu's relationship with a certain someone is…quite dear to the plot. I wonder what's gonna happen now…I know a few arse kicking scene. One from everyone most likely.

I'm a bad person, sorry for what I did to Anzu..
