HEY EVERYONE! HAPPY NEW YEARS, AND START YOUR TO DO LIST ONCE YOU CAN FOR THE FIRST WEEK! ANYWAYS, THIS CHAPTER GETS STRANGE REALLY FAST, AND A RETURN OF A CHARACTER! ANYWAYS, ENJOY!

Chapter 25: New Year's Special

"Can you explain why she's here?" Chrissy asked, looking at Sari.

"She decided to transfer to our school this semester. Somehow, she had gotten all the transfer papers done. She called it a present from her," Hikaru explained, knowing that this would be the start of a hectic year at school and home. He knew that Chrissy wouldn't be too thrilled, but he felt a death glare coming from two others, digging into the side of his head. He didn't even have to look to know that it was Miyako and Sayuri, though they weren't as intense as they should be. He looked anyways, and saw three people, Amilia on her phone, with the two others glaring.

"Care to introduce me?" Sari asked, wrapping her arms around his left arm, making sure to steer clear of his shoulder.

"Sari, this is Chrissy Mailys, my girlfriend," Hikaru started. "Chrissy, this is Sari Tauno, my friend since almost birth."

Sari looked at Chrissy, and then realized why she was getting mad. Sari then, instead of removing herself from Hikaru's arm, pressed her chest more against Hikaru's arm.

"Sari, please don't," Hikaru sighed, knowing what she was doing. He saw Miyako whisper something to Sayuri, making her go completely red, something he hadn't seen in a long while. "I need to see if Miyako broke Sayuri," he tried to move, but before he could see what happened, Miyako was on his other arm. Chrissy and Hikaru, both knowing that she wasn't going to be chasing him anymore, got angry with her. Hikaru's anger didn't last long, as he felt a sharp pain, biting down on his lips, sharply inhaling when the pain came.

Sari knew what caused that, and removed Miyako from his other arm, and lifted up his shirt. She noticed stitches, and lightly touched them. As her fingers ran over them, he kept flinching, Sari exhaling to the side, not wanting to cause his stitches irritation.

"Once we get home, you'll need to listen to me so I can treat that scar," Sari informed with a commanding tone.

"That won't be necessary. It'll be fine and the stitches will be removed in a few weeks," Hikaru informed, not wanting to possibly reopen it again.

"Nonsense. Although it might not seem major, you'll need something to at least numb the pain or rid yourself of te pain," Sari argued.

"He said he was fine," Chrissy countered, not liking Sari, yet seeing a lot of Hikaru in her.

"I know you agree with him and want to help, but you'll have to sit this one out. You'll have to let me help him," Sari informed, Chrissy sighing, knowing that she was right.

/-Nobuyuki Manor, 8 Hours Later-/

"Finally home," Hikaru stretched, making sure that he did so as to not have more pain to the scar. He and Amilia were the only ones awake after the first hour, being stuck in bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper traffic the entire way home. He couldn't sleep in cars either, so it was painfully long for both of them. The other four were out like a light during the trip. Sayuri, the one who was most asleep, somehow made it in the house after Hikaru. Behind her came in Chrissy, Miyako, and Sari.

"Hikaru, your room," Sari reminded.

"Okay. I'll be back. Behave," Hikaru spoke, looking at Miyako specifically. "Chrissy, you're in charge."

Hikaru was followed Sari to the stairs, walking in front of her so she knew where his room was, not that he slept there much anymore for various reasons. Once in the room, Sari closed the door behind her.

"Strip," Sari demanded.

"Way to make it sound wrong," Hikaru commented, stripping down to his boxers.

"Fully strip," Sari added, Hikaru blushing. "Come on. You don't need to be shy. You don't have anything I haven't seen before," Sari casually spoke. Hikaru looking at her like she was a pervert. "I helped out at a hospital before deciding to transfer. There was someone with an infection down there, and another case where someone's genitalia got cut off. Pretty brutal sex crime, and I was one of the few who didn't vomit at the sight."

While Sari was telling the reason, Hikaru had completely stripped himself, facing away from Sari. "I'm not surprised there. You watched so much gore movies while growing up," Hikaru remembered.

"That and I'm used to stuff like that. Remember?" Sari asked, looking at her fore arm, not to happy with the memory.

"How can I forget? It was the same day that I was given this nasty thing," Hikaru answered, looking at his scar. He hated looking at it, since he didn't like to even think about that day. Sari was standing in front of him, knelling so she could easily reach the top of the scar along with the bottom. She started to put the cream on.

"I'm sure you know this, but this is homemade like last time. Of course, there is a slight difference," Sari informed, Hikaru seeing the scar close itself right before his eyes. He has left speechless. Well, for a moment at least.

"Fuck!" Hikaru screamed in pain, falling to one knee, Sari keeping him from touching the wound or cream.

"Only problem with it is it hurts like a bitch," Sari added, Hikaru now calm again, Sari now covering the rest of the cut. Instead of his original reaction, Hikaru stayed calm, only wincing as the pain came. After she was done, Hikaru grabbed a shirt.

"What are you doing?" Sari asked, stopping Hikaru from putting on the shirt.

"Putting my shirt on. Along with my boxers and pants," Hikaru answered, Sari taking the shirt from him.

"Don't. This is a bit more sophisticated than last time. It needs to rest undisturbed for ten minutes, and then rinse off the excess otherwise it won't work properly, and you'll stink," Sari informed.

"Can you at least leave? This is very uncomfortable for me, and probably you as well," Hikaru spoke, sitting on his bed. He's typically never completely nude, unless he is showering.

"I have to make sure you don't try to cover yourself," Sari spoke, suddenly getting nervous. "Though I can strip so it's awkward for both of us. We'd be equally embarrassed, so it wouldn't be a problem," Sari suggested, starting to take off her clothes.

"No need to do that!" Hikaru stopped, grabbing her shirt. He didn't notice where he had grabbed until after the fact, and instantly recoiled back to where he was. Both he and Sari were red, blushing from embarrassment. "S-sorry! I didn't mean to grab you there!"

"I-I don't mind since it's you," Sari blushed, removing her pants. Hikaru turned away, knowing that trying to stop her was useless. That and he didn't want to see his close friend strip.

"Please keep your clothes on," Hikaru requested nervously. Not only was he embarrassed, but he was starting to get hard as well.

"It's alright if we are both embarrassed," Sari replied, now fully naked. She sat down behind him, their backs to each other. Nostalgia came and wiped away the embarrassment, causing Hikaru to chuckle.

"Hey, remember when we were both like this? Before I was taken in by the Nobuyuki's? Sitting like this on the hill a few minutes from your house," Hikaru asked, smiling at that memory, though he could only remember a portion of the memory.

"How could I forget?" Sari started, smiling at the memory. "It's where we practically became close to each other. We also made a promise that day as well."

"I know it was something important, but I can't remember for the life of me," Hikaru admitted, chuckling at that. He's always had trouble remembering things at times, and most of that comes from the trauma that came with the attack.

"I've remembered all this time. I could give you a hint if you'd like," Sari smiled.

"Gimme a letter," Hikaru responded, quoting the YouTuber Mini Ladd.

"Hope you remember our first language," Sari whispered, "K."

"This is going to get us nowhere. Care to give a better hint than letters now?" Hikaru asked.

Sari turned so that she was facing his back. "Turn around and I'll give you a better hint. Those are my conditions."

Hikaru turned around, and was looking at Sari, who had closed the gap between their lips, Hikaru too surprised to return it. It wasn't long before Sari grabbed his semi-erect member and smiled. She broke the kiss, and Hikaru was feeling so many emotions, the main three being confusion, anger, and shock. He was about to yell at her, but Sari still had his shirt, and she stuffed it in his mouth. Hikaru glared at her, using the glare that makes every sane person back away, but when Sari looked at him, he saw that her eyes were not how they normally are. He realized that she must be in heat, and used his nose to confirm it. He knew he couldn't do anything, since his arms were behind him supporting himself. He used his leg to ick her side, which turned out to be a bad idea. Sari smirked, and smacked his face, pushing him down on the bed, and moved her head towards his fully erect member, Hikaru knowing he had one shot left before he would be past the point of no return. As she engulfed his member, he kneed her torso as hard as he could, and a new discovery was made. Sari bit down at pay him back for the kick, and heard a muffled moan escape from the shirt. Sari then started to get rough with him, which was turning him on even more. He knew it was wrong, but he was basically now her bitch until she came to her senses.

There was a knock at the door, and Hikaru tried to move, but sari pinned him down, and decided to talk.

"Hold on," Sari answered, sounding normal. "He still has a few more minutes until he can rinse off the ream. He's in a rather awkward state, since he's completely exposed."

Hikaru wanted to scream for help, but knew that it would be a bad idea, since the last time he saw her in heat she was not a people person, and could possibly kill.

"What?" the voice nearly yelled, Hikaru recognizing as Chrissy.

'Please open the door! I don't know what is going to happen! She's crazy and in heat!' Hikaru practically yelled mentally, hoping someone could hear him, if they were awake.

"Relax. I'm not doing anything to him. We are just remembering old times," Sari informed, Sari removing the gag.

"Don't worry," Hikaru found himself saying. "Besides, I can defend myself if she tries anything."

'Please come in and stop her! I don't want this!' Hikaru teared up, afraid now.

"Alright. Hikaru, let me know once you're done so we can spend more time together," Chrissy spoke, sounding hurt.

"Okay," Hikaru said against his will.

'SAYURI! ANYONE! HELP PLEASE!' Hikaru was now in tears, shutting his eyes.

Sari turned back to him, and she went from horny bitch to caring mother in less than a second.

"Are you okay?" Sari asked, siting next to him.

"Please, just stay away from me for a while," Hikaru cried, his tears flowing like a river.

"Is there anything I can do to-"

"Just stay away from me!" Hikaru shouted, rushing to the bathroom to rinse the cream off, not caring if it were too early or not. He slammed the door pretty hard, and hid in the bathroom, sitting against the door, blocking it. He just let himself go and cry by himself.

"What did I do?" Sari asked hurt, not remembering a single thing after mentioning the promise.

It wasn't more than a minute later that someone had entered the room. Chrissy had rushed back almost as soon as she heard Hikaru scream. She saw Sari with a hurt look on her face. She didn't care about the fact that she was naked, she needed to try to comfort her. Sari hung her head, feeling terrible since she had not idea why Hikaru had just changed like that.

"You doing okay?" Chrissy asked, Sari not even moving her head. "I heard yelling. Is everything okay?"

"I don't know," Sari barely spoke, staring to cry. "I don't even think I should have come. Hikaru has changed and it hurts. We were just talking about what happened before the attack and he just yelled at me after for no reason."

"Look, me and Hikaru have had our ups and downs," Chrissy spoke, putting an arm on Sari's back, rubbing it. "We actually broke up after a misunderstanding, and yet he never gave up. He actually explained what happened along with Miyako and he even sang a song just for me. He wouldn't hate anyone close to him. Don't let yourself get down."

"He just yelled at me. He was hurting as well. I couldn't even try to help. He seemed terrified of me, and didn't want anything to do with me. And it hurts me that he's hurting and I can't help. Coming here was a huge mistake," Sari spoke, not even hearing what Chrissy had said.

Chrissy didn't want to do this, but had no other choice. She smacked Sari, shocking her to realizing she wasn't alone.

"Look," Chrissy started. "He doesn't just go and yell at someone he cares about."

"H-he cares about me?" Sari asked, crying.

"He wouldn't take the time to visit you during Christmas if he didn't. Yes, he does also visit his family, but he also stays with you, right?" Chrissy pointed out.

"He does, doesn't he?" Sari replied, sounding slightly better.

"Yes. I remember when we were in class, and we were reading reports about people who have impacted our lives and in what way. He spoke a lot of you, since he really didn't have anyone else. You two actually need each other, which pains me since I do love him," Chrissy smiled.

"Really? You think so?" Sari asked, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Yes. I'm guessing you might have accidentally triggered a bad memory, and he snapped back to that moment. Give him some time to col off. Then talk to him, okay?" Chrissy smiled, Sari nodding. "Okay, now quick question."

"What is it?" Sari asked.

"Why are you naked?" Chrissy asked, wanting to know why she was naked in the first place.

"Well, since he was completely naked, and felt embarrassed, I stripped too so he wouldn't feel alone. We sat back to back, and then he left, shaking and crying," Sari explained.

"I don't see how he would be scared of something like that. Hell, he's all about close contact. But I did knock before he ran out. Did something happen during that time?" Chrissy asked.

"You knocked?" Sari asked, not remembering hearing any knock on the door.

"Yeah. You and Hikaru were doing fine apparently," Chrissy explained.

"We were?" Sari asked again.

"Wait, what's the last thing you remember?" Chrissy questioned.

"Sitting back to back with Hikaru talking about the last time we sat like that," Sari explained.

"Hikaru?" Sayuri spoke, knocking on the bathroom door, feeling Hikaru was hurt. "Please let me in. At least let me know what's going on."

'Look into my recent memory,' Hikaru's voice echoed, sounding empty. Sayuri, surprised that Hikaru was allowing her to look inside his head to see what was going on, since he hated people prying.

Sayuri sat against the wall next to the door and sighed. She concentrated, and saw what had just happened. Her eyes were now welling up, since she was also feeling his pain. She didn't know how to help. She could only talk to him.

"Listen," Sayuri started mentally, having a feeling that he didn't want anyone to know about that, "I know what you must feel like. Powerless, weak, and vulnerable. You are scared, and don't know what to do. I know this because this was the exact same feeling I got when I was kidnapped. You must be seeing memories, and might be trying to escape from reality. But that would hurt more than it would help. Not just you, but those around you as well. Already everyone is worried about you."

'It's not just that. I'm practically alone in this world. I can't tell Chrissy, and I had you look in, since there's no way I could say it. It feels like I'm better off dead at this point,' Hikaru thought.

"You're not better off dead!" Sayuri shouted. "You have people who care about you and would be devastated if you killed yourself! I don't want to loose you again! I can't take it, and I might end up dead as well! Don't do this," Sayuri was in tears. "Don't do this to me."

She could hear the shower start from the other side, and tried to open the door, panicking since it wouldn't open.

'I stink,' Hikaru thought. 'I promise I won't do anything. There's enough pain already, and I don't want to hurt anyone else. Just don't tell anyone. I trust you. Please don't make me regret it by betraying that trust.'

Sayuri was wiping her tears, smiling. "I promise," she whispered, sniffling as well.

/-Next Morning-/

Hikaru woke up, and felt three things off. He was laying on something hard, he was wet, and naked. He realized he fell asleep in the shower, and quickly turned it off. He stepped out, and used a rather powerful Overheat, drying himself completely, his hair just slightly damp. He opened the door, and saw Sayuri asleep against the wall. Hikaru bent over, and was next to her face.

"Hey," Hikaru whispered. "Wake up. It's morning."

Sayuri moved a bit, but was still asleep. Hikaru chuckled a bit, and picked her up. Sayuri still didn't wake, but she did move a bit. Hikaru carried her to her room, and was somewhat surprised that Miyako was sleeping on her bed. Hikaru gently placed Sayuri next to Miyako, and left, closing the door quietly. He moved to his room, and poked his head inside. Sure enough, the other two girls were sleeping in his bed. He made sure to move quick and quietly, grabbing some pants, boxers, a fresh shirt, and a hat. He made sure to leave once he had everything, not wanting to wake Sari or Chrissy, both for different reasons.

He got dressed outside his room, and saw Miyako approaching. He signaled for he to be quiet, not wanting her to wake the others.

"Relax," Miyako whispered. "And I have to admit, it looked small limp."

"You fucking saw?" Hikaru quietly snarled, not liking he again.

"Yeah, but you must really care about your sister, even if she isn't related by blood," Miyako spoke, "And I know she cares about you."

"Well it feels like I can't trust anyone anymore," Hikaru informed, getting his shirt on. "I'm going for a walk."

"Can I join you? It's no fun to walk alone, especially when it's cold," Miyako asked, wanting to get closer with Hikaru than she was before, since everyone else knew him on a personal level, but each person only knew certain things. Miyako also just wants to spend time with him.

"Sure. There's a sweater in my duffel bag. I'll show you," Hikaru smiled, glad to see that Miyako cared.

'Maybe Sayuri is right. People do care. I'm never really alone with friends and family by my side,' Hikaru thought, now downstairs with Miyako. He spotted his duffel bag, and opened it, finding the light gray, almost white sweater he brought in case he needed it when he visited. He handed t to Miyako, and She put it on.

"Is this the sweater that is part of the high school gym clothes?" Miyako asked, seeing his last name in a rectangular box.

"Yeah. I don't really use it since it is kinda useless. Ya know, fire type and all," Hikaru spoke, grabbing a key. Miyako pulled him back before he got to the door, confusing him. Miyako only pointed up, Hikaru seeing mistletoe hung above the door.

"Maybe one at a time. I don't want to come between you two," Miyako informed. Hikaru simply looked down.

"There might not be something anymore," Hikaru muttered, not wanting Miyako to hear him. He walked outside after she had passed the door, closing the door after he had left. He locked it, and put the keys in his pocket.

"Want to talk?" Miyako asked, knowing something was bugging him

"Maybe later. I just don't feel comfortable talking about it right now," Hikaru answered, reaching in his pocket, finding nothing. He reached I his other pocket, and found his keys.

"Leave it. Some times, it's better to not worry about things like that," Miyako answered, Hikaru shaking his head.

"I know, but I was expecting an e-mail from the last people I consider family, and I don't know how important it is. I don't want anyone reading it, since he said it was rather important," Hikaru explained.

"Just check it when you get home. Right now, enjoy the cool breeze and the snow around us. It really is a beautiful slight," Miyako smiled.

"I know of a spot where it is beautiful," Hikaru absent-mindedly spoke, looking around seeing Miyako was right.

"Care to take me?" Miyako asked, Hikaru looking at her slightly confused. "Um, are you teasing me or asking me to take you somewhere?"

"The spot you mentioned just now. I want to see it," Miyako explained.

"Oh, I shouldn't have mentioned it. I haven't really told anyone but Chrissy about that spot," Hikaru replied. "But I don't see why not. Swamp should be frozen over this time of year."

"Wait, close to the cabin in the woods?" Miyako asked.

"On a clearing at the top of a hill. When the sun rises, it feels like there isn't anything wrong, and when it sets, it can melt hearts," Hikaru smiled.

"Oh, I wasn't talking about a hill. I was talking about a large Sakura tree that it a great place just a little more north of the swamp," Miyako laughed.

"Forgive and forget?" Hikaru asked, chuckling a bit at the end.

"Nah. I want to remember the spot. And I think you'll want to know about the Sakura tree," Miyako commented.

"I do. So," Hikaru started, looking at a couple walking in the snow as well.

"Look, I had no control over the situation," the female spoke.

"I know. I just don't want anything to happen to you. I attract trouble for everyone," the male informed, Hikaru listening and watch them.

"I don't care. I would rather have someone to be with than have you deal with the entire problem on your own," the female added, hugging the male.

"Let's go home. I think I need to tell everyone something," Hikaru spoke, Miyako smiling. She was hoping to tell Hikaru that so he would tell everyone what happened, but she was glad that he was going to allow others to help him.

"You sure?" Miyako asked.

"Yes. It might be painful, but it would hurt more than keeping it to myself. Call my phone. It's in my room, and the ringtone should be loud enough to wake either Chrissy or Sari," Hikaru informed, Miyako looking away. "And your phone is home too, isn't it?"

Miyako responded by playfully hitting her head and sticking her tongue out a bit.

"That's okay. Wake them up while I check my e-mail, so I can see if they sent it yet," Hikaru added, heading home with Miyako at his side. She wrapped her arms around his, and leaned her head on his shoulder. Hikaru decided that since she wasn't up to anything, that he would let it go this time, actually liking the contact for once.

Once at home, Hikaru unlocked the door and opened it, the two forgetting about the mistletoe. Hikaru headed upstairs, unlocking his computer and going to his web browser. He checked his e-mail, and saw one from Viljami. He opened it, and read it. He was surprised at what he read, and now knew he had to tell everyone. He left the room, and closed the door, making sure he locked his computer. He headed downstairs, and saw Chrissy and Sari on their way down as well. He quickly went back to his room, grabbed his phone, and went back downstairs.

"Okay. I think you should try to stay calm while I tell you guy this. Sayuri kind of knows what I'm about to say, but I think that I shouldn't be mad now. Yesterday, I was shut in, and was not sure what I would do. But now, after walking with Miyako this morning and seeing something, and checking my e-mail, I know I have to tell you guys what happened. Yesterday, when Sari was helping me, she entered forgot what happened, and I thought she was just playing dumb. However, after reading what Bill told me, I should tell you what happened. When Sari helped me, she doesn't remember anything from a certain time. Can you tell me what the last thing you remember from that time?" Hikaru started, looking at Sari.

"I remember that we were talking and then you were terrified about something," Sari answered.

"Okay. What happened that triggered a memory?" Sari asked.

"Not a memory, but a event that you don't remember doing. You see, Bill told me that at times, you black out when your heat is too hard to contain, and you don't remember anything that happened. You forcefully gave me a blowjob," Hikaru revealed to everyone. Sayuri was the only one who wasn't completely shocked. "I couldn't do anything, and I was scared. I wanted to cry out for help, but I didn't want anyone to get hurt as well. I tried to stop her, but she over powered me. Don't be angry, regret anything, or be concerned. I don't want you to worry about this. But from now on, make sure to try to control yourself, okay Sari?" Hikaru revealed to everyone. Chrissy was angry with Sari, but was also worried about both of them. Miyako was more indifferent, and Sayuri was still concerned.

"I'm sorry," Sari cried a bit.

"Be glad that no one got hurt, and no real damage was done," Hikaru added.

Everyone was quite shocked by that statement. Sure he was laid back, but no one knew that he was this laid back.

"But she almost hurt you! Hearing this hurt me," Chrissy added, slightly mad at Sari.

"But am I physically hurt? No. Mentally? Yes, but memories can fade and be replaced with better ones," Hikaru replied. "I have eyes for you Chrissy, and no one else."

Chrissy could tell her face was getting red, and was happy that he said that with everyone there.

"Um, would now be a bad time to mention what you promised?" Sari asked, concerned that shit was going to hit the fan.

"What was this promise?" Miyako asked, wondering what Hikaru was like when he was younger.

"Kekkon," Sari spoke in their first language Japanese, Hikaru going wide eyed.

"If you will excuse me, I'll go find a brick wall to bash my head into," Hikaru spoke, about to leave, Chrissy stopping him.

"What does that mean? What did you promise?" Chrissy asked, sounding hurt.

"Kekkon is the Japanese word for marriage. This promise was made the day before the attack, and I protected her from getting killed, giving me the scar. All I remembered was me protecting her because she was the only friend I had at the time," Hikaru explained.

"But I don't mind if you're with Chrissy as well," Sari added, shocking everyone there.

"I'm done," Hikaru announced, leaving to his gaming room. Sari was looking down, well aware that all eyes were on her. She was blushing, liking the idea of being able to have Hikaru happy with Chrissy and her also being happy.

"Miyako, Sayuri, please leave. Me and Sari need to have a talk," Chrissy spoke, sounding like she was about to murder.

"I don't mind hearing this," Miyako spoke, Sayuri grabbing her by the ear, taking her to her room. "Don't you think that you should wait until we get to your room?"

Once Chrissy was sure they were alone, she put a hand on Sari's shoulder. "Look, I know that you love him, but I don't know if he's okay with an open relationship. For now, can you show a little restraint?"

"But, what if he is? There's only one way to know for sure, right?" Sari pointed out.

"Why are you so insistent on this?" Chrissy asked.

"Well, in most of Johto, it's not unheard of or strange for what you consider taboos to exist. I'm pretty sure that Hikaru wouldn't mind, and it sounds like you don't mind either," Sari informed.

"Really? How can you tell what others like and dislike?" Chrissy questioned.

"Well, he seems to have built up a harem," Sari spoke, Chrissy shocked by the way she phrased that. "And he also seems to have feelings for not only you, but Miyako and myself as well."

"I highly doubt that he has those kinds of feelings towards Miyako," Chrissy spoke, denying almost everything she was saying now. There was silence, and you could hear the sound of a bed hitting a wall. "That's why. Miyako is probably fucking Sayuri's brains out."

"Miyako's bisexual? I never would have guessed," Sari commented. "Though Sayuri and they way she dresses and acts was easily able to tell that. Hikaru must be happy for them."

"He doesn't know," Chrissy informed.

"How? They are making a racket. Anyone should notice by now," Sari added.

"Hikaru is special. He is a gamer, and once he's gaming, he doesn't hear much of the outside world. Here, follow me," Chrissy spoke, heading up to Hikaru's gaming room, opening the door, seeing him playing Warframe. "Watch."

"Hikaru, I'm really horny and I need you to take care of my sexual appetite," Chrissy spoke, Sari wondering why she said that, and Hikaru didn't even budge. Hell, it's like he didn't even hear, even with the fact that his headphones weren't even on. "See?" Chrissy spoke, closing the door.

"Wow. Anything else strange?" Sari asked, Chrissy smiling.

"Okay, get this," Chrissy started, looking to make sure no one was around. "On Halloween, since there was a party we were going to, we had a little wager. I wanted to see him in a dress as a girl. So, he decided to make it interesting, so he said if I got it wrong, that I could come with him to Johto for Christmas, and he wouldn't wear the dress. Now, I wanted to go and see where he grew up part of his life. I made a stupid guess, and somehow got it right, and he put up quite the fight. I managed to get him to go to the party dressed as a girl. I'm just saying, I would have tapped that."

"Really? I have to see some pictures," Sari eagerly spoke.

"I didn't think about taking any pictures. But I still have the dress," Chrissy informed.

The door opened, and Hikaru looked at them. "I heard something earlier. You girls hear anything?"

"No," Sari informed slowly, making it seem like it was just hiss imagination. Hikaru shrugged, and closed the door. "Tomorrow?"

"Even better. He always throws a New Year's Party for his friends. We'll do it then. You'll wear it to the party, and I'll wear what he was on," Chrissy informed.

"And why can't I wear his clothes?" Sari asked.

"I've worn his clothes before. We are pretty much the same size," Chrissy informed. "And I don't think that he wants his shirts stretched out by those," Chrissy added, poking Sari's chest.

"Only if you wear something that I pick out so that I won't feel weird," Sari spoke.

"It's on. Keep this on the down low. Don't want Hikaru, I mean, Mikaela to know," Chrissy smiled, finding that Sari was warming up to her, and she was warming up to Sari.

"Alright. I think we need to get me a dress, unless you have any red ones," Sari informed, Chrissy shaking her head.

"For the time being, until New Year's, you'll stay with me, okay?" Chrissy informed, Sari nodding.

/-Three Day Later, New Year's Eve Day-/

"How do I look?" Sayuri asked Hikaru, who had a gray tie in his hand.

"Don't you that's going a bit overboard?" Hikaru asked. "Looks like you are about to go to a damn wedding."

"Like your's and Sari's?" Sayuri joked, Hikaru glaring at her. "Okay. I'll change. Geez. And you aren't even close to what you said."

"You see, that's where you are wrong. I have this plan. Right now, I am wearing black dress pants, a red dress shirt, a black shirt underneath, and a tie. That can actually be formal or office casual, which would still be fine. If they are dressed formally, I can button up my shirt, and do the tie. If not, I fit right in," Hikaru explained. "Now go change. That also doesn't suit you."

Sayuri hurried back upstairs, deciding to change, since she wanted to look nice. There was a knock at the door, and Hikaru walked over, opening the door, seeing Miyako dressed for the occasion. He started to button up his shirt. "Please come in."

"Thanks. You should have finished that before opening the door," Miyako noted.

"Well, I wasn't expecting people to actually wear formal clothes. That and I still have something in the oven," Hikaru informed.

"Where's Sayuri?" Miyako asked, the Espeon in question not in sight currently.

"She looked like she was going to a wedding," Hikaru informed.

"Your's and Sari's?" Miyako joked, Hikaru glaring at her as well. "Calm down, it's a joke."

"I know. I don't like it though," Hikaru informed, Miyako following him into the kitchen, taking a whiff to see what was being made. Currently so much stuff was conflicting, so she didn't quite know.

"Hikaru?" Sayuri asked, Hikaru poking his head out of the kitchen, Miyako looking as well.

"How's this?" Sayuri asked. Both Miyako and Hikaru were amazed by her choice. She was wearing a black dress with no sleeves yet covered part of her neck that hugged her body. There was a slit cut into the lower part, allowing her to walk, and showed some leg. She had also let her hair down without doing anything to it other than straightening it. Miyako was speechless, wondering how she was able to pull of her color better than her. Miyako had actually decided on a white dress that was short, and hugged her body, and crossed before going behind her head.

"Better," Hikaru spoke, going back to the kitchen. Miyako walked over to her, still speechless, and kissed her. Sayuri returned the kiss, wrapping her around Miyako's neck.

"Hey, Sayuri, can you WHAT THE FUCK?!" Hikaru practically screamed once he saw Miyako and Sayuri in a passionately lock. They quickly pulled away, acting as if it was embarrassing for them. "How?"

"Well, during Christmas, she was over at my house, since I didn't want her to be alone for the holidays. While decorating, we happened to forget that we hug up some mistletoe at a doorway. We accidentally bumped into each other under that doorway, and I joked that we kiss, due to the mistletoe's purpose," Miyako started.

"And I decided to play along. But when we kissed, we felt something-" the door interrupted Sayuri.

"Hold that thought," Hikaru spoke, opening the door. He made his way into the kitchen afterwards, taking out a ham, knowing it was ready. He placed it on the counter, and entered the main room, seeing quite a few people, like Miyako's family, and Chrissy's family, including Ryan and Jason who returned when they heard about the New Year's party.

"Good thing I prepared for more than just us," Hikaru muttered, slicing the ham some so that way it was a start. He also made sure party snacks were available, and walked back out, remembering one thing that he thought he would never use. He walked over to the left of the kitchen door, and pulled out part of the wall, revealing a bar area. He quickly moved everything from the kitchen to the bar counter, and even brought out some non-alcoholic drinks, and some plastic cups. He grabbed two Original New York Seltzer Root Beers and walked over to Sayuri. He handed her one, and opened his.

"Care to continue where you left off?" Hikaru asked, Sayuri smiling.

"Anyways, we kissed, and we felt something real. A spark was lit, and the next thing I knew, we were on her bed, making out. It was steamy, her fingers inside me, her mouth sucking my-"

"That's enough. I'd rather not have to hear my sister explain how two girls have sex," Hikaru interrupted, not wanting to hear his little sister talk about her sex life with Miyako.

"Oh," Sayuri started. "But I thought you liked yuri," Sayuri smirked.

"Where would you get that idea from?" Hikaru asked sounding genuinely confused, playing dumb.

"Not only your browser history, but your porn folder. Next time, hide it better," Sayuri informed.

"How the hell did you get into my computer? I'm the only one who knows the passcode," Hikaru questioned, wanting to know who to hit.

"You left it unlocked. Well, kind of unlocked. You didn't fully lock it. I opened it to check some games, e-mail, and decided to add some porn sites to your history so you would freak a bit, when I saw that some existed there already," Sayuri explained.

"I knew I forgot to do something," Hikaru spoke to himself, making a mental note to punish Sayuri.

"Me and Miyako made a mess but cleaned it up," Sayuri informed, Hikaru now making note to punish Miyako alongside Sayuri.

"Fuck that girl," Hikaru swore.

"If you say so," Sayuri suggestively replied, smiling. "Oh, we also found a rather interesting file in your folder. It was a male Leafeon fucking the brains out of a female Flareon. Care to explain?"

"I have a file like that?" Hikaru asked, acting confused. He actually knew the file, he just didn't want to discuss it. The main reason he had that file was because he couldn't find one that matched their genders, so he had decided to save that one along with all the yuri files, which he hid expertly. Sayuri gave him a doubtful look, but decided to drop the topic, not wanting to talk about porn the entire night with Hikaru.

"So," Chrissy came up on the two talking. "Sayuri tell you already?"

"Yeah. Almost too much detail might I add," Hikaru answered looking right at Sayuri when he said that.

"I have a surprise for you. Come with me for a second," Chrissy smiled, Sari in Hikaru's room already. Chrissy led him to his room, and pushed him on the bed, Hikaru starting to like the surprise. She pinned him down, and then Sari come out from her hiding spot, holding the dress, Hikaru struggling against Chrissy.

"Come on, just a few pictures and that's it," Chrissy whispered in his ear, actually sending a chill down his spine.

"No!" Hikaru protested, knowing full well where this was headed. It would be a few pictures, and then downstairs with Makaela. He wasn't about to have that happen. He trying to escape Chrissy's pin, but it was useless. And because she was siting on his waist, it was pointless as well.

"Hey, have you seen Chrissy?" Jason asked Sayuri.

"Not since she dragged Hikaru upstairs. Probably talking about what happened during Christmas," Sayuri informed, Miyako holding her hand.

"Just checking. Oh, and are you two happy?" Jason asked, Miyako kissing Sayuri's cheek. "Alright. Good luck to the both of you."

Just then, Hikaru tumbled down the stairs, on his feet by the bottom step . He looked like he was being undressed, and didn't want that. His shirt was unbuttoned, and his tie was loose. "Not today girls!" Hikaru yelled, before rushing outside.

"Good luck!" Sayuri called, the door closing almost instantly after. "I kind of hope they catch him."

"Why?" Miyako asked.

"Because I want to meet this "Makaela" person he's scared of," Sayuri answered.

"Oh, he's not afraid of her, he's afraid to become her. You see, Halloween, Chrissy dressed him up as a girl. But I don't know if she'll be successful this time," Miyako informed.

"I kind of want to see that now," Sayuri smiled.

"Trust me, if I didn't know it was Hikaru, I would have taken him upstairs and fucked him all night," Miyako added.

"But we do that, and still make time for romantic gestures, and cuddling," Sayuri smiled.

The door opened, Sari dragging a struggling Hikaru back in the house by his feet. Hikaru was trying his best to free himself, but to no avail. People simply continued as if this were normal, since it kind of was, considering Hikaru and his strange choice of friends.

"HEY!" Hikaru yelled.

"Just a few pictures, and I promise you'll be right out," Sari spoke gently, using a certain choice of words.

"No!" Hikaru protested, trying to escape.

"I didn't want to do this," Sari apologized, squeezing his shoulder, making him go to sleep, dragging him upstairs with no trouble.

/-1 Hour to Midnight-/

Everyone except the teens have left, Hikaru now being replaced by Makaela. And boy was she being a tsundere.

"Come on, just until midnight," Sari asked, holding both her hands.

"No way!" Makaela firmly spoke.

"Please? This will make the party better," Sari begged.

"F-fine. Only because this party is getting dull," Makaela gave in, Sari dragging her to Hikaru's room, Once in the room, Sari gave her a maid outfit that Sayuri had in her closet that was brought out after Sayuri suggested it. The only person to question it was Makaela, who wanted to know why she had one in the first place.

As Makaela was changing, Chrissy came in, seeing her wearing bowers.

"That won't do," Chrissy commented, pulling the boxers down, leaving her completely naked, covering herself.

"Sayuri, are there under garments for the outfit?" Chrissy called, Makaela looking horrified. She put on a pair of sweats, and a regular shirt. She tried to get past Chrissy, who held her in place with a hug. A few minutes passed before Sayuri and Miyako came, giving Chrissy a pair of black panties, Makaela, now squirming.

"The more you struggle, the longer you'll be in the outfit," Chrissy informed, Makaela no longer fighting. "Good. Now get dressed."

Makaela reluctantly put on the entire outfit, finding it very short, barely hiding her panties. She was extremely shy about this, and tried to pull the skirt down lower, hearing the sound of a camera. She blushed, and was now even more embarrassed, turning away.

"Come on, no need to be shy. Just a few poses and you can change, how's that sound?" Sari asked, Makaela wondering how long she's been like that.

"No! I don't want any more pictures taken!" Makaela protested, going to a different room, crying a bit.

"I think we took it too far," Chrissy regretfully informed.

"I didn't think he would react like that. Think we should go and see if he's okay?" Sayuri asked, grabbing some normal clothes for Hikaru.

"We probably should. We did take it too far," Sari added.

"I didn't mind seeing Makaela again," Miyako commented, everyone looking at her. "What? Seeing Makaela once in a while is nice."

"Let's go and see if he's okay," Chrissy finished, heading off to find out where Hikaru went to be alone. She knew he wouldn't go out looking like that, but the house was huge, and it had plenty of rooms to go to. She looked around, and saw that he wasn't in his gaming room, but instead was in Sayuri's room. She was about to make her presence known, until she saw Makaela doing a cat pose.

"Can you make up your mind for once?" Chrissy asked, shocking Makaela. "Geez. You really can be a tsundere when you want to."

"I really do pass as a girl, don't I?" Makaela asked, Chrissy smiling a bit.

"You do. But I'd rather have my Hikaru instead. We did get a bit carried away," Chrissy admitted.

"You don't say?" Makaela sarcastically replied, making it obvious that she was mad.

"I'm sorry. But I do like having Makaela come out every now and again. It's like having a little sister," Chrissy admitted.

"Well I don't. It's way too embarrassing," Makaela commented.

"Why do you keep talking like a girl then?" Chrissy asked.

"Because I'd rather not have someone come in and know I'm a male dressed like this. That would actually not only make me look like a freak, but you too. Do you have clothes for me to change into? Because I'm Getting tired of being dressed up and having to wash the coloring out of my hair," Makaela informed.

"You only had to do it once so far," Chrissy pointed out.

"Do you know how many times I had to wash my hair to get it all out?" Makaela asked, Chrissy knowing it must have taken a while.

"Okay. How about Makaela comes out at least once every six months?" Chrissy asked.

"How about never?" Makaela countered.

"I can always surprise you and dress you up whenever I want as an alternative," Chrissy offered.

"Once a year, and you can take pictures," Makaela caved in, Chrissy nodding to that offer. "I only do this because once a year is better than multiple times a year without knowing. At least this was I know that I am only doing once a year, and don't have to worry," Makaela added.

"Okay. Can we get more photos before you go back to being Hikaru?" Chrissy asked.

"No," Makaela answered, leaving the room. Chrissy decided a yank on the tail would be a way to change his answer. She pulled it, and Makaela let out a moan. Surprised, Chrissy let go, seeing everyone rushing to see what was wrong.

"What happened?" Sari asked, wondering why Makaela would let out a random moan.

"All I did was pull on her tail to try to make her change her answer about no pictures the rest of the night before changing. And it happened," Chrissy answered. Miyako was going to keep her mouth shut, since she knew exactly why a moan was heard, keeping her promise to Hikaru.

"Can we take pictures before you change?" Chrissy asked, again.

"N-no," Makaela replied, her tail now between her legs, nervous, scared, and slightly turned of from the tail pulling.

"Just one? Please?" Chrissy asked, wanting just one more picture.

"No," Makaela stood firm with her answer, heading back to her room. Once inside, she locked the door, and striped of everything.

Now nude, Hikaru grabbed a towel and his dress shirt and pants, along with a pair of boxers and a tank top. He wrapped the towel around himself, and opened the door, making his way to the shower before his towel was taken. He made it, locking the bathroom door behind him. We took a quick shower, wiping off the make up the put on him, and washed his hair a bit. He stepped out, and dried himself, getting dressed as well, opening the door while putting the dress shirt on, which was the last article of clothing he had put on.

"No more," Hikaru sternly spoke. "Understand?"

"There's still some coloring in your hair," Miyako pointed out.

"I am well aware. I have to wash it a few more times, which I'll do Saturday," Hikaru informed. "Now, let's continue the party. There's still," Hikaru started, looking at his phone for the time, "twenty minutes until midnight."

"What happens at midnight?" Sari asked, Hikaru smiling.

"Best place to watch them is the park. Fireworks," Hikaru smiled, deciding to cross one item off his bucket list. He slid down the handrail boosting himself off the rail before the bottom, landing perfectly. It took the group about fifteen minutes to get to the park, and smiled, all of them waiting for the count down.

"So, what are your New Year's Resolutions?" Hikaru asked.

"Getting Hikaru," Sari smiled, Hikaru shaking his head in a disappointed manner.

"Speaking more openly and being friendlier," Sayuri informed.

"Teasing Hikaru more," Miyako added, Hikaru groaning.

"Spending more time with everyone," Chrissy smiled.

"5760 by 1080 and to be awesome," Hikaru informed, everyone sighing. "At least some people would appreciate that joke. But in all seriousness, probably write more."

"You write?" Chrissy asked, Hikaru nodding.

"I don't just game all day," Hikaru informed.

Everywhere in Lumiose City, people were getting ready for the New Year's. A Tyranitar was lying on his roof, smiling. An Absol and Froslass were sitting together, holding each other close. Hikaru and his friends were in the park, along wit a few others.

"FIVE."

"FOUR."

"THREE."

"TWO."

"ONE."

People started to cheer, some people yelling "Happy New Year!" and others celebrating by opening a bottle of wine. The fireworks started, everyone watching.

The Tyranitar smiled, looking at the fireworks. The Absol and Froslass shared their first kiss of the New Year, and Hikaru and his friends hugged each other, Chrissy and Hikaru holding hands after hugging. All eyes were on the night sky, enjoying the fireworks.

"Chrissy, I know I don't say this enough, but I love you," Hikaru smiled.

"I love you too," Chrissy kissed Hikaru's cheek, a light red tint appearing on his face.

SO, I'VE MENTIONED THE TYRANITAR TWICE NOW. HE WON'T APPEAR MUCH UNTIL LATER, SO, AS NOBLE-SENPAI SAYS, CLENCH YOUR BUTTS EVERYBODY! UNTIL NEXT TIME!
