Yay! It's done!!!
Hey, minna-san!! You are all about to embark on a journey into the way my mind works.(eep, that's gotta scare ya ^_~) You see, I may be one of the only Christians left who likes anime................... So, being so close to Christmas and all, well......... just read, you'll get the idea ^^!!(please read......*whimpers*)
Ken's Christmas parties had become a tradition, and this time he invited not only the Digi-Destined, but also their parents and partners.
TK and Kari had been almost completely inseparable since the fight with Daemon and Malomyotismon was over, as had been Ken and Yolei. Davis was truly happy to see that his best friend and his former crush had finally found the happiness they were so deserving of. As for him, he knew his time would come, eventually. Until then, he was honestly happy just being able to have such wonderful friends. His thoughts turned toward a certain dark haired, violet eyed foreign exchange student he had gotten to know recently. 'I wonder.....'
"To Hope!" Kari raised her glass. The group was sitting around the living room of Ken's parents place. They had finished dinner a little while before and had gone into the living room for some hot cocoa and a roaring fire. All of the group echoed her sentiment as they raised there mugs as well.
Ken looked around at the group and smiled, his friends were there, his parents were there, the woman he loved was there. Only one thing was missing, if only his nii-chan could be there, too. But finally he could truly put it behind him. He was finally free fo the guilt he felt over his brothers death. He finally understood that it wasn't his fault. He smiled again, 'Arigatou, nii-chan. I get it now. I don't have to remember everything to be complete. I just need to remember not to give up. Arigatou!'
Kari, Yolei, TK, Tai, Matt, Sora, Joe, Izzy, Cody, and Mimi, who flew in from America to spend Christmas with her friends, sat around the fire resting in the comfort of knowing all there friends were near.
Ken noticed Davis. He was standing about two feet away from the fire, staring into it as if transfixed. There was a soft glow sliding down his left cheek, the fire casting it's reflection off of it making it look almost crimson. Ken walked over to his best friend.
"Davis, Daijobu ka?" he asked softly.
"Hmm?" Davis said, startled out of his thoughts. "Aa, Daijobu. I was just thinking of all that's happened to us recently. Being thankful, I guess, for the gift of friendship, and for the gift of life." His gaze shifted over to the keeper of hope. Ken smiled at him knowingly.
With that the boys rejoined the group. It was time for the Ichijouji family tradition. Mr. Ichijouji took down an old worn book from off the mantle of the fire place. He sat down on the couch and Mrs. Ichijouji sat next to him. Kari and TK took their places on the floor by the fire. Patamon and Gatomon sat just a little off from there partners, also together. Yolei sat next to Ken with her head resting on his shoulder. Hawkmon and Wormmon sat on their respective partners laps. Tai, Davis, Izzy, Matt, and Cody each sat with their families. Each person sat with their backs to the fire place, watching the Ichijouji's prepare. Finally all was ready.
"This has been a tradition in our family since our first son, Sam, was born. I'd like to start off by saying how wonderful it is to be able to share it with so many people. This year, though, it holds more meaning then it has in a while. A lot of people were given their lives back. So, with that I'd like to read a story...
And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.
So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.
So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.
Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.
"For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
"And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger."
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
"Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"
Davis turned, again gazing at the fire's joyous, bright dance. He thought of the gift so long ago given and realized that it still bared sharp significance. He thought of the tiny life that had come into existence all those many years ago. The life that had only one purpose. 'To seek and save that which was lost,' as he recalled Ken telling him. He raised his head in reverent worship. He thanked his newly found Savior for that Gift so long ago. And the gift it had given him only days before.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
