LunaOp: Hi! Thanx for reading my fic so far. I had no idea what to write at first but something came to me one night.

Chapter 1: Christmas Dinner

(Izumi's p.o.v.)

So it looks like the long sought-after holiday is finally here... well almost. Tomorrow is Christmas. I can't wait! I haven't had a break in a long time since college started. It was snowing the other day, but pretty lightly. I woke up to a blizzard today. It looks like it really will be a white Christmas after all. Kouji and I went shopping for a Christmas tree some time ago. It's a small, silver one that has fiber-optic needles. We'll take it to his mom and dad's house tomorrow.

Of course I can't forget about my friends. After dinner with Kouji's family, we'll head over to this fairly large cafe. It's a really cozy place with lots of decorations. Everyone will be there so I'm sure it'll be fun!

Christmas Day

(No one's p.o.v.)

"Kouichi Kimura, you are going to sit down and relax. They'll be here any minute."

"Yes mom."

So far Mr. Minamoto and his present wife are doing some finishing touches while Miss Kimura and her sonare sittingpatiently (well one of them is) at the old Minamoto residence. Kouji and Izumi have not arrived yet.

"When will they be here?" Kouichi asked.

"It's a long drive from there to here. I'm sure they'll show up soon," Mrs. Kimura reassured. They all stared at the front door. Everyone sighed.

1 hour later

(Izumi's p.o.v.)

"I'm done eating. Dinner was great!" I said after scarfing down my last dish, a slice of American apple pie.

"Well I'm glad you enjoyed it. We almost thought that some of the food would go to waste because you wouldn't show up," Kouichi's mom replied.

Kouji glanced over to me and smiled. "Sorry mom. Traffic was slow and the snow made everything worse."

"It's all right, as long as we're all here." Mr. Minamoto said warmly.

(Kouji's p.o.v.)

As on cue, Izumi, my step mom, and real mom stood up to get the dishes. They cleared out in less than a second. Kouichi and I stared blankly at the now empty table. "That was quick," I said. We all nodded in agreement.

"Your moms really want us to relax. Izumi too," dad said.

"Yeah, I know. She does everything in the house."

He didn't look surprised. "I expected a girl Izumi to do that. That's pretty nice of her."

"Yeah," I breathed quietly.

Everyone soon came back and sat down again. "Izumi!" I whispered.

"What?"she answered.

"You didn't have to do that."

"Do what? Oh you mean that... I had to. I'm not a part of this family plus I'm a guest here. It's the least I can do," she whispered back. I shrugged.

After some talking with my family I stood up. "Well, Izumi and I better get going." She stood up too.

"Yeah. We have another party to go to."

"Okay. You two have fun. Izumi you're welcome to come back next year," my (real) mom said warmly.

"Thank you Miss. Kimura." I walked out to the car first. Izumi stayed behind to talk to my two moms.

(Izumi's p.o.v.)

"Izumi, if it doesn't bother you, take care of Kouji for me, okay?" Miss Kimura said. I was in shock at first and didn't know what she was talking about.

"Oh, sure! I won't let you down."

"Good. See you!" Mrs. Minamoto waved good bye as I walked to the car, still wondering why she said that.

End of chapter 1

LunaOp:As you can see my chapters have decreased in quality. (This chapter has a lot of dialogue and no action). There are numerous reasons why. I have to get ready for school, this story is losing interest to me, and I can't concetrate really well nowadays. It's hard to write about Christmas dinner just like it's hard to write about what you do every morning. I did this, I did that, she said, he said. It's all so boring and to write it as a story is even more boring. But, I promise to write the best chapters yet so don't worry! Review please!

Author's note continued:

Well it looks like there's more stuff to talk about.

You all know what fanfiction means now, right? If you want to write a good one then there should be only a little OOC or none at all. It's not required but if you can't really let the characters be themselves then your fic won't be so great. Got it?
