Kisa Sohma walked down the pathway that led to her Onee-chan's house. Well, actually, it was Shigure's house, but Onee-chan lived there, too!
Kisa fumbled with the stuffed tiger in her hands. She had made it herself from scratch. Hiro had helped her, but she hadn't told him who it was for. For some strange reason, Hiro didn't like Onee-chan.
Kisa finally came up tot he house. She ran up to it, but rapped the door softly. Onee-chan was there in a flash, smiling like she always did. She was very surprised to see Kisa there.
"Kisa-chan!" Tohru exclaimed. "I didn't know you were coming over!" Still, Kisa could tell Tohru was happy to see her. She gave her a big, loving hug. Kisa smiled softly.
Out of nowhere, Kisa thrust the stuffed tiger in Tohru's face.
"For you, Onee-chan," Kisa mumbled. She still wasn't used to talking, even after a month. Kisa was so used to being quiet.
"Ohhh, it's sooo cute!" Tohru cried, clutching the stuffed animal so tight one of the seams ripped. When Tohru realized this, she went into... panic mode. "Oh no! I ruined the pretty gift Kisa-chan gave me! H-how can we fix it?!"
Just then, Yuki came up with a needle and some string. "Would this help, Honda-san?" he asked, holding out the needle. Tohru nodded seriously.
After several tries, Tohru still couldn't fix the rip. All she had accomplished was poking herself a million times.
Yuki gently took the stuffed toy and the needle from Tohru and quickly sewed up the rip. He smiled and handed it back to Tohru. She couldn't help but thank him graciously.
Kisa looked at the sky. If she didn't get home soon, she would be late for dinner. "Um, Onee-chan?" she asked quietly. Tohru turned to her immedietly.
"Yes, Kisa-chan?" She asked pleasantly. Kisa hugged her.
"I have to go." Kisa pulled away and began to walk down the dirt path. Tohru waved to her.
"Be safe!" she called. She didn't close the door until Kisa was long out of sight.
Tohru sighed and fingered the small toy in her hands. Smiling, she kissed its head and skipped upstairs to lay it on her pillow.
