Summary: What happens when you put characters from Pretear, BeyBlade, Kingdom Hearts, Fullmetal Alchemist and OC's from all of these stories in the same room on New Year's Eve? One heck of a party!
A/N: Yeah, it's a New Year's Special. BEWARE! MWAHAHAHAAA! (Ahem) Anyways, the characters from Pretear, Hiro and Saitoshi, are OCs from my story, Legend of a Golden Princess Pretear, and Katana is an OC from Kingdom Hearts: The Beings who walk in the Twilight. But these stories are in no way affiliated with this special. I also do NOT own characters from Kingdom Hearts, BeyBlade, or Fullmetal Alchemist. Tenshi Hikari and Soullesswinds (Now the two are known as Twin Psychos.) own Tenshi and Kaze, and Hiniku (Invisible Love) owns her own character. Okay! On with the special! Be prepared for a looong story and fluff!
Crazy New Year: Part 1It was a quiet, peaceful evening. The crickets were quietly chirping, a few owls hooted in the distance, and all was silent, until… "AAAAAAGGH!" A shriek pierced the night sky and sent birds scattering to the winds. Here we go again… A disgruntled auburn haired and eyed teen grumbled in his mind, getting up to find out what the fuss was all about. He went downstairs to find an African-American girl with long oak brown hair and 2 crimson braids and bangs rushing around the house like a mad man, decorating and washing things at random.
"Uh…Sakura? Dare I ask what you're doing?" The auburn haired and eyed teen quizzed with a raised eyebrow. Sakura whipped around and glared at him with stressed eyes. "Do you MIND, Hiro? I'm TRYING to get this place fixed up before everyone arrives!" Hiro's eyebrows rose even higher. "And…they're arriving for…?" "For the New Year's Party, duh! Did you forget AGAIN?" Hiro looked around in a paranoid sort-of way. "…Maybe…" He replied.
Sakura sweatdropped and sighed annoyedly. "Well, if you're not gonna remember important dates, make yourself useful and HELP me! Go finish cleaning the kitchen while I finish decorating the dining room!" What am I? The maid? Hiro complained mentally, but nonetheless went into the kitchen to complete the half cleaning Sakura had done in a rush. After all, he would do anything for the one he loved.
"DING DONG!" The doorbell chimed. "They're here! Hiro, hurry up and answer the door! I have to finish putting up the banner really quick!" Sakura called from the dining room. Still grumbling, Hiro went to the door and pulled it open to find a bunch of teens waiting on the doorstep. "Hiya Stupidhead!" A teen with ice blue bangs and milk-chocolate brown hair and eyes chirped. "Nice to see you too, Tenshi." Hiro grunted, then looked at the large group of boys waiting behind her. "What's with all the boys?" He questioned with a sweatdrop.
Tenshi thought for a moment, an evil smirk playing across her lips, and said, "They're all Sakura's boyfriends!" Hiro's eyes widened as he shouted "WHAT?" The boys behind Tenshi sweatdropped and the male teen standing next to her cleared his throat in a sort-of impatient way. "Oh, except for Kai over here. He's MY boyfriend!" The star-obsessed teen declared, latching onto Kai's arm. The Russian blader rolled his eyes, but made no effort to shake his girlfriend off.
"Hey, can we come in now? I'm freezing my butt off out here!" A loud-mouthed navy-haired teen complained. "Quiet Tyson! You're always complaining!" A black-haired neko-jin scolded the big-mouthed male. "Rei's right, Tyson. You should really learn how to shut your mouth when you need to!" A blond male teen spoke up. "C'mon, Max, you know how Tyson is. The guy can never keep his mouth shut, whether he's eating or talking or both." Kai commented snidely, smirking at Tyson. "HEY!" Tyson protested. Tenshi hit him on the head with her kendo stick to silence the baka.
Suddenly, Sakura appeared, looking flustered, but nonetheless cheerful. "Oh, hey Tenshi! Hi guys, c'mon in!" She invited, though it seemed that Hiro was NOT willing to let and other male besides him enter the house. Tenshi, noticing this, said, "Relax, Hiro, none of these guys are dating Sakura. I just said that to see your reaction!" Tenshi stuck her tongue out at a shocked and angry Hiro. Sakura just stood there, confusion shown plainly on her face. Finally, she ordered Hiro to move out of the way, and he did so that Tenshi and the BladeBreakers could enter.
The African-American teen led them all to the dining room, where the dining table donned a white tablecloth and many plates and glasses; chairs were nearly all over the room; a part of the room had been left empty for party games; a festive banner with the words "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" scrawled across it hung over the doorway to the sitting room, where they would watch the annual tradition of the giant ball dropping in the Town Square of New York; and another table loaded with food stood near the wall.
Tyson, of course, had spotted the food-filled table, and had lunged for it. "FOOD! AND IT'S ALL MI-"
PING!
Before Tyson had reached his destination, Sakura whipped out her Daddy Frying Pan and whacked him smartly on the head. "Don't EVEN think about it." The temperamental teen growled. "Nicely done, my friend!" Tenshi complimented, applauding the performance. The others simply sweatdropped. "Jeez, why is everyone always against me?" Tyson whined pitifully, rubbing his now very sore head. Sakura rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Because you're you, Tyson, that's why! Now listen up! No one eats until everyone gets here, capiche?" "And who exactly is 'everyone'?" A voice questioned from behind Sakura. A cloud white-haired and ice blue-eyed boy had just walked in, with a silver-haired and spring green-eyed girl at his side.
The African-American teen jumped in surprise. "Riku! Katana! When did YOU get here?" Sakura wanted to know. Riku raised an eyebrow at her. "We've been here all along." He replied. "Yeah, we just kept quiet in order to surprise you!" Katana added, winking playfully. Sakura sweatdropped. "Well…don't do that." She said, her mind too preoccupied to scold them properly. "Let's see…we've cleaned the house, the decorations are done, the guests are arriving," The temperamental teen muttered to her self, counting off her list of things to do on her fingers. "All or the food is on the-oh shoot!" I forgot about the egg rolls!" Sakura slapped her forehead and cursed her self under her breath. "I KNEW I was forgetting something! Baka baka BAKA!" Everyone watched in either amusement or embarrassment as Sakura rapidly pounded on her head with her fists.
A pair of hands shot out and grabbed Sakura's wrists gently. She immediately stopped her self-assault and turned her head to find Rei holding her wrists. She blushed a deep crimson as she looked into his golden orange eyes. "This is nothing to beat yourself up about, Sakura. If you want, I'll help you with the egg rolls." Rei offered, smiling gently at the African-American teen. "Aw, how sweet." Katana giggled, but Riku shushed her. "Oh Rei, I can't ask you to do that! You're a guest!" Sakura protested. Rei grinned, showing off some of his fanged teeth.
"I really don't mind. It would be my pleasure." The neko-jin replied. The temperamental teen beamed at him and said, "Okay!" She took Rei's hand and led him through the sitting room and into the kitchen. "Um…is it just me? Or are those two, like, really close?" Max asked to no one in particular. "Who cares? I'm HUNGRY!" Tyson groaned. Hiro watched Sakura and Rei disappear into the kitchen, a sour look planted firmly on his face.
Hmph! What does she see in that pointy-eared freak anyway? His thoughts ranted enviously. As if she could read his mind, Tenshi suddenly said, "Aw, are you JEALOUS, Hiro?" The auburn-haired and eyed teen flushed a dark red. "I AM NOT!" He yelled in Tenshi's face. She took a step back and waved her hand in front of her face. "Not only are you obviously jealous, you also need a breath mint!" She taunted. Hiro's eyes narrowed into enraged slits. "Listen to me, you little-"
"Hey!"
Kai stepped in between Hiro and Tenshi, his crimson eyes glaring up at Hiro, who was slightly taller than him. "I'd watch what I say if I were you, Mister." The Russian growled coldly. Hiro raised a challenging eyebrow at him. "No need to get so protective, Grumpy." He countered. Kai took a step towards him. "Who're you calling Grumpy, Grumpy?" The blader shot back. "Well, from where I'm standing, you BOTH seem grumpy to me!" A loud voice commented from the front door. Everyone turned their attention to the front door.
The loud voice came from a munchkin girl with red, orange, and gold streaks through her jet black hair that was partly pulled up into two ponytails, the rest of it left down along with the two strands of hair hanging by her almond-shaped eyes. She was hanging onto the arm of a much taller young man beside her, his ashy gray hair falling slightly into his beautiful violet eyes. "Hello Hiro." The young man spoke up. "Still causing trouble, I see." "Shut up, Saitoshi." Hiro snarled, not in the mood to deal with the new Knight of Sound.
"You getting into fights again, Kai-nii-san?" The munchkin Asian queried, teasing her step-brother. Kai "hmph"ed and crossed his arms in an "I-don't-answer-to-anyone" manner. "What's it to you, Hiniku? You're so nosy for a short person." Kai retorted. "I'M NOT SHORT!" Hiniku exploded, her temper boiling over the surface. Sakura, who had come out of the kitchen with the first batch off egg rolls, heard Hiniku's angry screeches and wandered over to find her and Saitoshi standing in the doorway.
"Hey Hiniku-chan! Hi Sai-kun! C'mon in and make yourselves at home! We're almost ready to eat!" The African-American chirped cheerfully. "FINALLY!" Tyson exclaimed, but was cut off in mid-rant by Tenshi whacking him with her Wooden Stick of Doom. Just as Sakura set the first batch of egg rolls down on the table, Rei stuck his head out of the kitchen. "Sakura! The 2nd batch is almost ready!" He called. "I'm coming!" Sakura answered, rushing back into the kitchen.
"Whoa. I didn't know Sakura was having fun playing Chef with Rei-kun!" Hiniku whispered to Tenshi. "Yeah. And what makes it even funnier is that Hiro is sulking because of it!" Tenshi whispered back. The two burst into a fit of silent giggles. Being the new Knight of Sound, Saitoshi caught every word the two girls were gossiping about, and decided to go over and somewhat comfort his best friend. "Hey Hiro! What's got YOU so down in the dumps tonight?" He greeted as he approached the gloomy Knight of Wind.
"I know you heard every word Tenshi and Hiniku said, so don't even try to play dumb." Hiro replied glumly. Saitoshi raised his hands. "Okay, you caught me. But why are you so upset? So this guy's helping her cook, big deal!" "You didn't see the way she looked at him." Hiro uttered, his feelings showing clearly on his face and in his voice for the first time. "I mean, her smile was so much brighter, and she looked really happy…how am I supposed to compete with that?" "Well, for starters, you could tell Sakura HOW YOU FEEL!" Satoshi said, slightly annoyed because of Hiro's determination to keep his feelings tightly locked away.
The new Knight of Wind's eyes widened, and he stared at Saitoshi as if he had said the most ludicrous thing in the world. "Are you CRAZY? I can't tell her that!" "Yeah, you can! The problem is that you're afraid of rejection!" Saitoshi stated. Dang it. He hit the nail on the head. Hiro cursed Saitoshi for being able to read him so easily. "Okay guys! Dinner's ready!" Sakura called, as Rei set the last batch of egg rolls down on the food-laden table. Everyone gathered around and held hands and bowed their heads in prayer and thanked God for the wonderful meal that they were about to receive.
"ALRIGHT! TIME TO EAT!" Tyson exclaimed gleefully, getting first in line for everything. While they were loading their plates with food, Sakura said to Rei, "Thank you very much for helping out, Rei. It meant a lot." Rei smiled at the African-American teen. "Think nothing of it, Saku." He answered, using Sakura's nickname. Sakura blushed and smiled to her self. Hiro watched the whole scene, a forlorn look in his eyes.
As much as I'd hate to admit it…Saitoshi's right. I AM afraid of rejection. But even so…even so, I have to tell her! If I don't tell her that I love her…someone else will. Hiro made up his mind, and turned his biggest problem into his New Year's Resolution.
