Ch VI

"Christmas morning!" I shout as i get up the next morning. I glance at the clock, it was 8:30 a.m. 

I was excited, i rushed to dress up and went to the bathroom. I stared at my reflection of my eyes in the mirror. It's about time i told them. Having that thought, i quickly wash up and go downstairs without wearing contacts. 

~~

Kenshi: "Good morning, Kuin!" 

Everybody greeted Lillie as she walked down the stairs, but she had her head down the entire time, blocking her face. 

Atsumu: "what's wrong?"

Lillie: "Mina, there's something i need to tell you"

Everyone watched intensely at her as she raised her head, eyes still closed.

Lillie: "something i should've told a long time ago."

She opened her eyes showing a velvet red pupil and a velvet blue pupil. 

Hiro: "wow."

Riki: "i assume you have a story behind those eyes?"

She looked away, "i don't think i'm ready for that yet, gomen."

Kenshi: "It's alright, say it whenever you're ready."

"Mina...." she smiled true heartedly.

Black Fox's POV

It's pretty rare for a pair of different coloured eyes. 

I've only seen cats like that.

By the way, did you guys realize today's December twenty-fifth?

What's wrong with that?

Nothing, it's a holiday and--

Don't you guys feel happy?

About what???

She finally opened up to us...sort of.

Hiro's right. No matter what she's starting to talk about herself.

I bet ten bucks that she has a terrible past.

WHAT THE HELL?!! DO YOU EVEN HAVE HUMANITY!!!? @#&%^#@$*&

***

I had the day off. I just switched shifts with one of my colleagues for Christmas. Of course i still need contacts walking on the street, or I'll get weird looks. 

Lillie: "Sumimasen!" I call out to the shop clerk. I went to shops to get some decorations.

I can't possibly get a eight-foot-tall tree in the bar so i got a small pine tree that's about two feet tall.

 ~~~

Kenshi: "Hey, about that Christmas thing you were talking about?"

Hiro: "we should celebrate it."

Takuto: "why?? It's a huge hassle!"

Atsumu: "Lillie's with us this year, we should."

Riki: "What're you supposed to do?"

~~~

Lillie: "How cute." i say cruelly when i see a couple making out in the middle of the street. People cast glances at them walking by, but no one said anything to them. I hide in an alley right next to the couple, and released a small snake slithering towards them.

Don't question me. Like i said, you have no idea what kind of things i can do.

Girl: "AHHH!!"

As expected, all of them went screaming when they saw the snake. I had a massive smirk across my face as i walk by the panicking couple. 

Then i suddenly catch myself: I thought i stopped those bad prank habits. Looks like it's still in me whenever i see something that angers me.

Quickly shaking off the feeling, I continue walking, leaving chaos behind me.

~~~

Hiro: "Then are we supposed to be getting her presents?"

Atsumu: "I think so."

Takuto: "Why give her something when you don't get anything yourself?"

Hiro: "Don't worry Takkun! I'll get you one, too! How 'bout a cute panda bear stuffed animal?"

Takuto: "I'd rather slam my tongue in a car door." he says matter-of-factly.

Riki: "Anyway, we need to shop for those, right?"

Kenshi: "Sure, let's go shopping for Kuin!"

~~~

Looks like one who's scarred can never heal. 

I suddenly think as i continue walking towards a bakery. Christmas cake....

Actually, I'm really glad it's this time of the year. I get to wear long sleeves all the time. Wouldn't want anyone to see my arms. ...................Nevermind.

~~~

Atsumu: "so...does anyone know what Lillie might like?"

Takuto: "food."

Riki: "That's actually not bad."

Hiro: "she's always munching on something."

Kenshi: "How about those snacks?" *points to a display window with all sorts of cookies and crackers*

Riki: "Perfect."

~~Two minutes after the guys enter the cookie shop~~

Lillie: "Cookie bakery~~ *drool* not now! I've gotta get the cake!" 

I run away from the delicious cookies. "Bisuketto...." i mumble when i get to the cake backery.

Lillie: "Hi I'm here for a Christmas cake under 'Kuin' that's asked for yesterday?"

~~~

Kenshi: "There are so many."

Hiro: "Which kind does she like?"

Takuto: "I'm sure she'll eat anything."

Atsumu: "What do girls usually prefer, Riki?"

Riki: "Usually cream cookies, they're sweet and apparently, pretty."

Kenshi: "There's a lot of those kind, too...."

Σ( ° △ °|||)︴"Sometimes it's bad for a shop to be TOO big."

~~~

Let's see, i think i got everything. I view the bags in my hands. Cake; ornaments;tiny tree.... And I'm sure the bar has tons of food. I even got some streamers. 

'Kay. I'm going back. 

~~She didn't notice she past the cookie shop while walking when she checked her bags~~

But all the guys were faced away from the window.

Kenshi: "Hei, how'bout these?"

Riki: "That's too bitter, it's 80% chocolate."

Hiro: "we seriously know nothing about her. Huh? Kenny where're you going?"

Kenshi: "Oh, I just need some fresh air, I'll be right back!" *runs out of shop*

~~~

At LRN.

I quietly enter, only to find no one there. Boss forgot to lock again. But the situation's perfect! I quickly start unpacking my surprises. 

The tree could go on the counter, here's some ornaments and don't forget the star! 

~~~

Takuto: "Finally."

Atsumu: "But we got six boxes."

Takuto: "Knowing that pig, TEN boxes will be gone in no time."

~~~

Lillie: "A-choo!" 

~~~

Riki: "But are cookies all we're going to get?"

Hiro: "Don't girls want things like jewelery or handbags?"

Kenshi: "Really? I've never seen Kuin put on any of those."

Atsumu: "She isn't 'most girls'."

~~~

I back up to the door to admire my work. The cake is in the kitchen, ready to be taken out any time. There are some streamers around the room and snow flakes i cut out. The tree is small but really pretty. This place is ready! 

When'll the guys come back? It's late afternoon. Oh right! The gifts!

~~~

Takuto: "Can't we go back now?"

Hiro: "Maybe we should get her something else, too."

Riki: "I know the perfect gifts for women." *starts walking ahead*

Atsumu: "Hey, wait up." 

~~~

Hmmm.... gifts are around the tree. Is that all?

~~~

Kenshi:"are you sure Kuin will like those?"

Riki: "trust me, as long as she's female."

Kuin's point of view

I hear their voices! I quickly duck down and hid behind the counter.

Atsumu: "why's it so dark?" *flick*

I jump out in front of them: "Merry Christmas!"

Hiro: "Lillie!"

Kenshi's point of view

Her blue and red eyes shimmer with excitement as she guided us to a table. Impressive. She did all these decorating work on her own. Sometimes she has a dark aura about her, but in times like these, she's really sweet and just seems like a little girl.

I put my hand on my jacket pocket. I had gone on my own for a little and saw this gift i thought was perfect for her. 

Everybody watched as she cut the cake into perfect pieces. 

Hiro: "I didn't know you were good at cutting cakes, Lillie~~"

Takuto: "Gimme a piece."

After the cake, she started handing out the presents.

Riki: "You got us gifts?"

Lillie: "Yup. Here's yours."

Riki: "gloves?"

Lillie: "I thought you might need those, all of your gloves in your closet are cut-fingered."

Kenshi: "Closet?"

Lillie: "Meh, i went through it the last time i was in his room."

Riki: "Wait, since when did y--"

Lillie: "Here's yours Takkun!"

Takuto: *cough* *cough*

Kenshi: "Are you alright?"

Atsumu: "looks like you can actually choke on cake."

Takuto: "Don't call me that!" he looked angry, like usual, but his expression froze when he opened his gift, "a 320g mobile hard disk!" whoa, he's grinning. I can't even picture him doing that.

Lillie: "You've been complaining about little storage of USBs."

Then, Takuto blushed and murmured a small 'thanks'.

Lillie: "Kenny's~~\(^o^)/~“

Kenshi: "a barbell?"

Lillie: "You have incredible muscles, y'know." *pokes arm* "Hiro!"

Hiro: "I'd be happy for anything Lillie gives me ;)" *opens* "Is this...a paint set?"

Lillie: "i checked your kit, you were running out of paint."

Hiro: "Thank you, Lillie. But how'd you go through my sch--"

Lillie: "And last but not least, boss!"

Atsumu: "the newest fortune-telling cards! Thanks, Lillie!"

She avoided all questions involving how she got information. Mystery.

Lillie: "No way! These are my favorite kind of cookies!" 

Well at least she liked what we all got her. 

We partied until midnight. When the others were still drinking, I saw Kuin walk out the main entrance for a short break.

Kuin's point of view

I'm so lucky to meet these bunch of people. 

I went out the door for some fresh air, as always. 

"Kuin." i hear a voice behind me and i turn to see Kenshi.

Lillie: "Kenny~!" i gave him a quick hug. He blushes slightly.

Kenshi: "Um..." he pulled out a small box, "i got this, myself, for you."

I gasp. Inside the box was a really pretty necklace with a silver cross dangling. I duck my head and he put it on for me.

Kenshi: "Beautiful...."

I grin widely. This'll be my first jewellery that's being gifted to me. "Thanks Kenny, you're so sweet." I gave him a tight hug around the waist.

That night, or dawn of the next day. The party ended and everybody went to bed.

This is probably the most fun i've had my entire life. I think. 

The next morning.

I stare into the mirror at my unusual eyes, again. I've decided. Today i'm telling everyone everything. Everything that's happened to me that made me like this.

I roll up my pajamas sleeve, exposing my arm, also the many scars and wounds all over it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's almost my birthday! Yay!

Hope you liked this chapter! Sorry if the format is confusing, once again. I just don't like labeling.
