The special day had arrived. It was Christmas. It had been decided that they were going to have Christmas at Yukimura's house.

"Hey Genichirou, where's your present?" asked Yukimura looking around the room. Sanada had come over early to help Yukimura decorate before the others came over.

"I put him in your room." said Sanada. He was putting the colorful lights around the tree.

"You what?! It's going to mess up my room."

"Don't worry, its sleeping. Also it's not the type to do anything like that." explained Sanada.

"Alright, I trust you Genichirou. Anyways, I have something that might work this time." smiled Yukimura. Sanada looked at Yukimura with a questioning look. "What might work?"

"Getting you together with Sam. " Yukimura said with one of his best smiles.

Outside on Yukimura's doorstep, Kirihara had arrived to help decorate too. He was about to ring the doorbell when he overheard Yukimura. He decided to listen.

"It's called mistletoe. In America you hang this over two people. It's a tradition thing that if you two are under the mistletoe, you two kiss each other." explained Yukimura.

"Really?" Kirihara heard Sanada say. Then he heard Yukimura's voice again. "Yup. This can be your first kiss…and also with the girl you love."

Back outside Kirihara was surprised and interested in this mistletoe thing. "Mistletoe huh?" he said quietly. "I have to kiss Sam under the mistletoe before Sanada does." Kirihara smirked. 'Wait for me under the mistletoe, Sam.'

DING DONG.

Later Sam and Marui made to Yukimura's house. Now everyone was here. Marui and Sam were in the kitchen cooking. Sanada and Yukimura were still decorating the living room. Kirihara sat on the couch upside down. He was bored to death. Kirihara was told to not touch anything, so he has been watching TV the whole time.

"Can we open our presents now?!" complained Kirihara. "I'm BORED!"

"Shut up, Kirihara." ordered Sanada, putting the last object on the Christmas tree. The star.

"Watch some movies." Yukimura suggested.

"I already seen all the movies you have, Yukimura." the bored Kirihara said. Then a question popped in his head. "Yukimura, can I ask you a question?"

"What is it?" asked Yukimura holding the ladder steady for Sanada.

"What does mistletoe look like?" The question Kirihara asked surprised Yukimura. Yukimura barely flinched, causing the ladder to jiggle a little. "Hey. Hold the ladder steady." warned Sanada. Sanada regained his balance again.

"Sorry about that Genichirou." apologized Yukimura. Then he looked over at Kirihara. "Sorry Akaya, I don't know what a mistletoe looks like."

'Liar.' Kirihara thought as he got up. He left into the kitchen. The first thing he saw when he enter the kitchen…a very hyper Marui.

"AKAYA! YOU GOT TO TRY SOME OF THESE SUGAR COOKIES!!" Marui happily screamed out loud. He grabbed about 20 sugar cookies and ran into the living room. "I LOVE YOU SAM!" he said with his loud voice. Sam and Kirihara could clearly hear Marui shout in the living room to Sanada and Yukimura. "YOU GUYS GOT TO TRY THESE!"

Sam giggled, "I think sugar cookies weren't made for Marui." Kirihara's heart skipped a beat when he heard her cute laugh. He always was struck when Sam smiled or laughed so sweetly. He would do anything to keep that beautiful smile smiling. Sam noticed Kirihara.

"Oh, Hi Kirihara." smiled Sam. Kirihara smiled back at her. "Hey." Kirihara watched Sam fix up some salad. "Merry Christmas Sam." he said happily.

Sam looked at Kirihara, "Thank you. Merry Christmas to you too." she smiled again at him.

"Can I ask you a question?" Kirihara asked. Sam nodded, "Sure. Go ahead."

"What does mistletoe look like?"

"Um…There's one on the table in front of you." Sam said. She headed over to the sink to get a paper towel and wiped her hands. Kirihara saw the mistletoe sitting on the table. He saw the small green leaf plant. It had small what look like white beads attached. He smirked.

"Sam, what does mistletoe do?" he asked as he picked it up from the table. Kirihara slowly walked up behind Sam and held the mistletoe above the two.

"Um…" Sam turned around to see Kirihara stand there. Her eye's followed his arm up to see the mistletoe above them. Sam's face turned bright red. "He knows…?" Kirihara smirked. Then he slowly lowered and lean in closer to Sam.

Sanada walked in the kitchen, holding Marui in the air by the back of his shirt. "Sam. How much sugar did you gave Maru-" Sanada suddenly stood in shock. He saw Kirihara holding the mistletoe and his face was only inches from Sam's.

Marui, hanging in the air, was stuffing his face with sugar cookies. When he didn't hear Sanada he looked up and saw what had stop Sanada. His eyes widen, "Oh." At that moment Sanada let go of Marui. Thanks to gravity, Marui hit the tile floor face first.

"KIRIHARA!!" Sanada yelled. Once Kirihara heard Sanada's angry voice, he quickly hid the mistletoe behind his back and turned to Sanada. Kirihara was scared. "I didn't do anything." he quickly said with his voice trembling.

"...I can't break the tradition." Sam said. She leaned up over to Kirihara and kissed him on the cheek. Kirihara blushed. Sanada stood in disbelief. 'Did she just do that?!'

"Come on Marui." Sam said as she walked over and helped Marui up. Sam whispered to Sanada, "Sanada. Please don't hurt him. It's Christmas."

Sanada didn't take his angry eyes off of Kirihara. "Fine." He followed behind Sam and Marui into the living room. "You're one lucky brat." he thought to himself.

Kirihara stood there in the kitchen. He slowly touched his cheek where Sam kissed him. 'Christmas is the best holiday!'
