"Hmm." Tohru gazed through the window of a sports store at the mall. "What do you think Kyo would like for Christmas?" She asked Uo and Hana.

"I'm sure orange top would like some weapons or such." Uo suggested. "I bought him nun chucks last week."

"You bought Kyo a present." Hana gaped.

Uo laughed. "You don't have to sound so surprised."

"Good idea!" Tohru exclaimed, walking inside the store. Uo and Hana followed behind her.

Tohru walked through countless ailes. From basketballs and hockey to tennis and badminton and so on. The store had so many sport related items that some of them piled all the way up to the ceiling.

"Weapons.. Weapons.." Tohru mumbled to herself.

Hana tapped her shoulder. "Tohru."

"Yes?"

"There are weapons." She pointed to the back of the store, the aile to the right of the soccer balls. "Are back there."

"Oh thank you Hana!" She smiled then sped off to the weapons aile.

"I don't even understand why weapons would be in the same section as sports." Uo commented.

"Archery, Karate, and sword fighting are sports." Hana replied.

"Oh yeah, right." Uo walked up to Tohru who was staring at a rack of samurai swords.

"I think Kyo would love to use these!" She said picking out a silver one with a red grip.

"Yeah he would. Think of all the damage he would make at the house." Uo shook her head. "And especially if he hurt a specific person there." She hinted.

Tohru looked at her. "Who would he hurt—" she paused.

Oh no! He might use this on Yuki! I can't believe I almost got this dangerous thing! What was I thinking??

"What was I thinking!?" She quickly placed the sword back on the rack. "That's way too dangerous..."

Hana nodded. "Especially when Kyo and your boyfriend don't get along too well."

"Your right." Tohru sighed.

"You could always get him a punching bag." Uo pointed to the nearest shelf next to them which was piled with different sizes and colors of punching bags.

"Oh yeah!" Tohru brightened. She walked over to where the bags were and started to try to carry one.

"Hold up, kiddo." Uo laughed. "Those things weigh like a ton. You should go ask the cashier if they can deliver it for you tomorrow."

"Come on let's go ask him." Hana said.

"Okay!" Tohru followed her friends towards the cash register at the front of the store.

--------------------------------

After 4 hours of Christmas shopping, the three friends walked to the Sohma house to wrap all the presents for Christmas tomorrow. Their wallets lighter and their hands heavy with bags.

"So what did you get for Yuki, Tohru?" Uo asked.

"Well, he really likes this manga series called Forbidden and he only has the first three books so I decided to get him the next 7." Tohru replied.

"Aw thats so sweet of you." Hana smiled.

"Yeah I'm glad he makes you happy, kiddo." Uo patted Tohru.

"I am too." She smiled.

Once they got to the house, they saw that the door was wide open. Black paw prints stained the wooden porch.

"Huh? That's weird." Tohru walked inside slowly. "Shigure? Are you here? Kyo? Yuki?"

Uo looked around. "Seems like no one is here."

"But Shigure never leaves the door open." Tohru said.

"Wait." Hana stiffened beside Uo. "Theres something in the kitchen."

Tohru gulped.

"Relax, I'll go check." Uo reassured, as she placed her bags down on the floor.

"Be careful!" She called as she watched her friend walk towards the kitchen door.

Tohru watched as she saw Uo slide the door open slowly. Then she quickly pulled it open, revealing a small gray and black animal dead on the floor.

Tohru and Hana screamed. Uo jumped back in disgust.

"I-Its a raccoon!" Tohru pointed out.

"What the hell is it doing in here??" Uo skrieked.

"I don't know, but its really starting to stink up the place." Hana pinched her nose.

"Shouldn't we dispose of it?" Tohru suggested.

"Here let me help you with that."

The three friends screamed and abrubtly turned around to see a shocked Yuki standing behind them with a garbage back in his hand.

"I'm sorry." He apologized. "I shouldn't have crep up on you girls like that." He dropped the bag on the ground.

Tohru sighed in relief and tackled Yuki in a hug. Tohru laughed. "You scared us."

Yuki wrapped his arms around Tohru. "I hope I didn't scare you too much." He chuckled.

"Awww how cute." Uo smiled.

Yuki and Tohru blushed furiously.

"Well we should get started and dispose of that rodent." Hana said.

"Of course." Yuki grabbed the bag. "Uotani-san, is it okay if you could find some gloves in the cupboard under the sink."

"Sure." Uo went through rummaging inside the cabinet until she find some rubber gloves. She grabbed the dead carcass of the raccoon from the floor. Yuki opened the garbage bag and she placed the body inside.

"See ya little rodent." Uo smirked as she took off the gloves.

"I'll go throw this outside in the garbage can." Yuki said. "Uo and Hana, please make yourself at home." Yuki walked past Tohru and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead and walked out the front door.

"Okay we can go up to my room and start wrapping the presents." Tohru suggested.

Uo and Hana agreed and followed Tohru upstairs.

----------------------------------

"So did Kyo ask you to the dance yet, Uo?" Tohru asked.

Uo laughed nervously. "Hah, yeah he did. It was super awkward."

"But you said yes right??" Tohru pressed.

"Yes I did." Uo laughed again. "Why are you so worried?"

Tohru sighed. "Well... I'll just tell you guys." She took a deep breath and told them about what happens 2 days ago and how Kyo got upset that she's already with Yuki and so on..

"Oh.. I didn't know orange top was going through a lot of things lately." Uo said.

"I did sense some disappointment coming from him." Hana added.

"I didn't mean to hurt him..." Tohru sniffed.

Uo and Hana hugged her.

"Hey don't worry, kiddo." Uo reassured. "Everyone goes through all these tough hardships sometime. Its just a part of life.."

"Don't blame yourself because of something u couldn't have stopped." Hana said.

"Your right. Thanks you, Uo and Hana." Tohru smiled.

"Of course." Uo smiled too.

"Anytime Tohru." Hana replied.

"Okay!" Tohru exclaimed. "Let's get started on wrapping these presents before Christmas tomorrow!"
