Hinako was preparing breakfast for her, for her grandmother, and for her grandfather. The climate in Karakura city was cold but the sun was up and shining. The cool, calm air was perfect for today's Christmas eve. Not too long, the doorbell sounded.

"I will get it, Hinako-chan," her grandmother said.

"Oh," Hinako turns around from the kitchen counter to look at her grandmother. "my apologies, grandmother, my hands are kind of full."

"No worries, dear," she chuckles a bit before heading to the front door.

Hinako was making the onigiri while multi-tasking in making some soup and tea for breakfast.

"HINAKO-NEE!"

Hinako almost dropped the onigiri she was shaping in her hands when she heard a startling shout yet the voice was familiar to her ears.

'H-Huh? That sounded like Dio just a moment ago,' Hinako thought, an anime sweat-drop forming on her head.

"Hinako-chan," her grandmother called out from the front. "you have visitors!"

"Hinako-nee, are you here?" The familiar voice called out again.

Hinako stops shaping the onigiris. 'T-That was definitely Dio-kun's voice.'

"Hey, mongrel! You better come out!" Another voice said, very familiar.

An irk mark suddenly pops out from Hinako's cheek. She places the onigiri on a wooden board and hurriedly ran towards the open doorway from the dining room to the hallway. She shows herself from the side and and held the doorway tightly with her left hand.

"Y-You're still calling me a 'mongrel'?!" Hinako was flabbergasted but she stops her furious rage when she met eye-to-eye with two people who were close to her heart. "D-Dio-kun? Senpai?"

"Hinako-nee!" Dio hurriedly rushes over to Hinako and tackles her into an embrace. This triggers a hint of jealousy inside Gil, his face was blushing.

"Hey, Dio! Don't just hug her all of a sudden!" Gil said, walking towards the two and hits Dio's head lightly with his fist.

Dio lets go of Hinako and held his head. "Seriously, big brother, you're gonna split my head into two!"

"That's because you just suddenly hugged Suzuhana and now you have her all startled!" Gil was blushing furiously.

"Oh?" Dio smirks under his smile. "Maybe you're just saying that because you want to hug her, too, right?"

The brown-headed woman froze in her spot at the thought of being hugged by her senior. Gil, on the other hand, saw Hinako's frozen expression and his blush intensifies.

"I-I-It's nothing like that, you mongrel! Don't go and think of such stuff!"

"E-Eh?!" Hinako snaps. "I-I won't even dare thinking of such things! Why would I?! Also, I'm not a mongrel, senpai!"
