A thin blanket of snow had fallen that night, and it was freezing cold even though the sun was now out.

Suddenly all the events from last night flooded back to me. It was Christmas Eve.

"Fukumi!"

The pink haired girl slowly opened her eyes.

"Fukumi we have to go, your going to have hypothermia if you stay out here."

I cleaned off my red glasses and stood up, I also helped Fukumi to her feet.

"Where do you want to go?" I asked.

"Can we go to my house... I should probably tell my mother I'm okay."

"That's fine." I reassured. Than the both of us walked through the snow, back to our neighbourhood. The knife still sat in the puddle of ice it had landed in, only now it had a thing layer of snow overtop of it.

"I've finally won, she likes me!"

It was a silent walk back. Neither of us said anything, and it stayed that way, until we got to her mom's house.

----Later----

I brushed the snow off the door handle and opened the door.

"Fukumi!" Mrs. Hayashi exclaimed as she swept her daughter into a bear hug. "Where have you been? I have so worried about you!"

The pink haired girl didn't answer.

"Oh.. okay. I won't bug you about it." The lady turned to me. "Thank you Takato for... being there for her."

I nodded, although I personally did not think I did a very good job.

"I'm going to make hot chocolate, you two go warm up by the fireplace."

Fukumi went into her room for a minute as I sat down. When she came out, she had a green sweater on and a pair of jeans. Her pink hair was tied into a high ponytail and she had a rain deer hair bang on.

Fukumi sat down. It was silent again, for a while.

---Later---

Ten minutes passed. I didn't feel like braking the silence, but I knew somebody would have too.

"So... where were you the days before I saw you and Satashi."

"Satashi's place."

"Oh."

It was silent again. It took in a few sips of hot chocolate as I gazed into the warm, crackling fire.

"Thank you, Takato, I didn't know what I was doing last night... if you hadn't come when you did.." Fukumi whimpered.

"It's okay, now.."

"........."
