Ban & Himiko- Season of forgiving
It was Christmas.
Himiko didn't like Christmas, not since after her brother passed away.
She remembered the happy times they used to have together.
Snowball fights, exchanging of presents, the laughter…
She missed all of that.
Resting one hand on the window sill, she watched as the white fluffy snow fell.
The doorbell rang abruptly.
Himiko snapped out of her trance, and she cursed whoever was at the door for disturbing her peace.
-Must be those idiot salespeople trying to promote their stuff or such…no one except those kind of people would come and disturb…-
As she opened the door, she started to snap at whoever was there…
But left her mouth hanging open as she saw who was at the door.
"Continue to leave your mouth like this; something sooner or later will go in."
Himiko then closed her mouth, and glared at the person in front of her.
Midou Ban lifted a hand in greeting. "Yo."
As she stepped aside for him to enter, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness.
Yes, Midou Ban always celebrated Christmas with them.
As she shut the door, not turning to look at him, she asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I came here to do something, but I forgot already."
"Then just get out!"
"You miss Yamato right?"
The sentence hit her hard. "Yeah…"
Ban sighed. "Himiko. This can't go on, you know?"
"I know that! But…"
Ban's cellphone interrupted her sentence.
"Yo, Ginji?"
She watched his face change from happy to guilty.
"Yeah, we'll be right there…sorry about that, gimme 15 minutes…yeah, bye."
-I'm having a very bad feeling…-
"Yo, Himiko, get changed into something warm, we're heading for the Honky Tonk."
"Eh?? NO!"
"Himiko…"
"No."
"Sorry then."
"Huh? Hey, wait! Ouch! BAN!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 minutes later…
The Honky Tonk was bustling.
Most of the retrieval agents had gathered, even Akabane.
Ginji had been frightened out of his wits, and had opted to keep close to Shido and the others that night, which had sent everyone into continuous laughter.
Even Himiko admitted that she had much fun.
And she had noticed that Ban had been looking at her from time to time.
She was annoyed, but she felt happy that he was paying some attention to her…
-Huh? No wait! What am I thinking?-
You like Midou Ban! Her inner voice said.
-No I don't!-
Yes you do!
Feeling worried for her sanity, she decided to take a walk. She walked out of the backdoor, and regretted not bringing a scarf as the cold air whipped around. But then again, it was Ban who had grabbed a jacket and some gloves before dragging her to his waiting car.
Abruptly, she felt something around her neck. She looked up, and saw Ban standing next to her, wearing a black jacket. Ban had dropped a scarf around her neck; he had seen her leaving.
-Fool girl doesn't realize I did bring her scarf…ah…-
Himiko flushed. "Thanks."
"No need to thank me. Yamato would have killed me if I didn't take care of you, after all."
The both of them stood there, looking at the city's bright lights, as the snow fell around them.
"Hey…Ban?"
"Yea?"
"I…forgive you." She mumbled.
"Huh?"
"Christmas is a season of forgiving, right? So I forgive you for nii- san's death."
Ban's look softened. "Thanks."
"Himiko."
"Hmm?"
"I…"
"Ban- chan! Himiko- san!" Ginji called out.
Ban then felt like whacking Ginji all of a sudden.
"Master wants to know how long you two are gonna stay outside; he wants to bring out the log cake already!"
"We'll be in soon!" Himiko called.
Ginji gave a thumbs- up sign and went back in.
"What was it you were gonna say again, Ban?"
Ban didn't respond.
"Well, in that case, I'm going in first."
She turned around and stretched her hand towards the doorknob when Ban abruptly grabbed her hand and pull her to him.
And he kissed her.
On the lips.
Yay!!! I told you so!! Her inner mind was screaming with delight.
When they broke off, Himiko blinked stupidly. Ban grinned.
"I wanted to say, I forgive you for stealing my heart."
Himiko's eyes widened; then she smiled as tears begin to form.
"Come on, lets go in. Everyone's waiting." Ban stretched out his hand.
Himiko took it; and the new couple walked in back to the warmth of the shop.
Christmas had never seemed to be so much better.
