Okay I know I'm in big trouble especially since this was supposed to be finished by Christmas but I'm going to play my GCSE stress card so please don't kill me and iv also forgotten how old these people are but they are not older than they were in the Halloween chapter if that helps.
Towa stopped what she was doing, which was hanging decorations on the Christmas tree, and sighed causing the rest of the Niwa children to look at her in concern. The young girl had been very out of character since Halloween and her brothers were beginning to get very worried.
Dark went off to answer the door, as the door bell had just sounded, as the memories of why Towa was in her current state descended on the children.
Flashback
Emiko gently closed the door to the kitchen and turned to face 5 pairs of worried and tear-stained faces. She took a deep breath before addressing the children. "I'm not quite sure how to tell you this but…"
An identical look of dread came across each child's face as they waited for their mother to finish.
Emiko took another breath before continuing. "Argentines been…taken advantage of."
Towa burst into a fresh flood of tears and was soon joined by the two youngest Niwa's while Krad stood dumbfounded and Dark tried to grasp the meaning of what his mum had just said. "You mean he's been r…" the purple haired boy was stopped by Krad who placed a pale hand on his shoulder. "Who?"
The Niwa matriarch shook her head. "We didn't see his face."
Towas sobbing had subsided enough for her to croak. "Is he going to be okay?"
Emiko gathered her children to her as she too fought back the tears. "I honestly don't know sweetheart."
End flashback
Daisuke walked over to the usually hyper girl and smiled. "you okay?"
Towa nodded silently, which didn't do much to convince the rest that she was in fact okay.
The red head looked over at Satoshi for help, who in turn raised his hands, which were covered in Christmas lights, helplessly.
"You'll be able to see him soon To-Chan I'm sure of it." Towa smiled weakly at the blond before returning to what she was doing.
After the 'accident' argentine had been slow in recovering and even after he was discharged from the hospital his mother had forbade him to see and of the Niwa's which had resulted in him having a breakdown and being once again re-admitted into the hospital. The doctors had told Argentines mother that what he needed more than anything was his family and friends and that she was wrong to blame them for the 'accident'.
She had still been reluctant to let them visit her son but had promised that as soon as Argentine was back home they could come and see him.
Being separated from her best friend for so long had obviously affected Towa and she in part did blame herself for not realizing that Argentine hadn't shown up on time to the party.
"It would be a great present to be able to see him for Christmas." She murmured quietly, hooking an angel onto the tree.
At that moment Dark walked back into the living room, a grin on his face. "Hey guess who I found." He motioned to the doorway, out of which walked a shyly smiling Argentine.
Smiles broke out on the children's faces and they ran to greet their friend, all apart from Towa who was standing frozen, an unreadable expression on her face.
Argentine gave her a lopsided grin. "Hey, long time no see."
The silver haired girl looked up at the angel she had just placed on the tree. "Was this your doing?" she asked earning strange looks from the rest of the rooms occupants.
She shrugged lightly, her old self again before running and jumping on her Christmas present.
Hope you liked it ^^
