[Continued]“Aren’t they dangerous?” Ruka asked. The question slipped out automatically.

“Dangerous? What cha mean?”

“Never mind. They’re cute.” Ruka had learned that any noise could alert a vampire or its spawn. With their preternatural hearing, there was no way they wouldn’t hear those bells. But it was a silly question. The vampires were all dead.

“Aw, you don’t sound like you mean it. I wore them just for you.”

“No, really, they’re cute, and so is the sweater.” Ginka’s delivery was still flat, which disappointed Ruka, but she accepted it. Ginka-chan was Ginka-chan, and you couldn’t expect exuberance from her.

“It’s not the kind of thing you usually wear,” Ginka added, nodding at the sweater with its panda mascot.

“Christmas is next week!” Ruka twirled. “Got ta celebrate!”

“I didn’t know you were a Christian.”

“I’m not, and neither are most of these people.” Ruka gestured to the crowd. “That’s not what it’s about. Come on, I’ll show you.”

She grabbed Ginka’s hand and led the way into the mall.

As they entered, Ginka’s eyes swiveled, taking it all in: the smiling people, harried ones, fake holly, busy holiday music, and an enormous tree adorned with tinsel and bright ornaments.

Her gaze moved to Ruka, and finally, a smile flickered on her lips. This was the girl who had introduced it all to her: clothes, makeup, school, friends, and karaoke—all things that Ginka had fought to preserve but had never experienced.

“Hey, look, it’s Hinaru & Meiri.” Ruka said, waving.

[Continued]The two gyaru had already spotted them and dashed over. They each picked a girl and started mussing up her hair while shouting, “#Brains, brains, brains!”

Ginka and Ruka both reacted instantly. Ruka said, “Hey, stop! I spent an hour on that!” While Ginka took a battle stance. Then she looked at Ruka and asked, “Are they infected?”

The three gyaru started laughing at Ginka’s serious tone. It was such a Ginka thing to say.

The two girls responded, "Infected? Like, really!" and "Yep. Zombies! got us. We've come to eat your brains."

Ruka explained, “They must have just come from the theater. ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ is playing. It's totally gross! And you two quit it; you're bothering people.”

“So, what are you two doing here?” Meiri asked. “On a date?”

“Must be, or she would have invited us,” Hinaru replied.

“I’m teaching Ginka-chan the meaning of Christmas, if you must know,” Ruka said, avoiding the question. It had made her feel embarrassed yet also kind of warm. If she were going to date a girl, Ginka-chan would be her pick. She was stunning and so cool and…and…yeah, like that.

“The meaning of Christmas? Presents!” Hinaru said.

“KFedC,” Meiru argued.

“No, and no. Just follow me—Ginka-chan, those are both important things, but they aren’t the heart and soul of Christmas.”

Ginka nodded. With the other girls there, she didn’t want to say anything that would embarrass her—or worse, Ruka.

Ruka swiftly led the others through the crowd. She regretfully let go of Ginka’s hand. With her friends around, it would be too embarrassing, and they would only tease her more about "dating" Ginka.

She led them past the bookstore, the grocery store, the mall lottery stand, and even the big Christmas tree. She stopped in front of a bakery.

“Cake!” she announced, pointing. “Christmas cake—that's the soul of Christmas!”
