AR's mother walked into the room and saw everyone in the living room.
"Oh my what's this?" She asked.
"Oh mom, remember the orphanage I told you I stayed at during that horrible rainstorm? … Well these are those girls I told you about. Their van broke down and I said they could stay here in the meantime."
"Sorry to have troubled you, I am Gram Gram I am in charge of these little angels." Gram Gram told her.
One by one each Azu-Orphan introduced themselves.
"Hello my name is Chiya and this is my best friend Kyoto." Chiya said.
"Nice to meet ya?" Kyoto said.
"My name's Tami, and the pudgy one here is Yomo." Tami told her.
"You never quit with that do you?" Yomo said in an annoyed tone.
"I'm Kogora, but just because I'm little doesn't mean I'm a wimp." she said as she started to run in place.
"I'm Suzuki." Suzuki said as she bowed politely.
Korin hid behind Suzuki…..
"That's Korin mom." AR told her "She's a bit shy when she meets someone new.
AR's mom knelt next to Korin. "Don't be scared, I want to be your friend." she said. How about I make you all some cookies?" Everyone jumped in excitement. "I'll take that as a yes." She said as she headed towards the kitchen.
Korin gave a small smile. "You have a nice mom AR-san." Korin explained. "I can't wait to meet your dad."
It was then that AR got a sad look on his face…..
"AR-san?" A concerned Chiya asked.
"My dad passed away recently." AR explained.
The Azu-Orphans walked up and gave him a huge group hug.
"We're so sorry AR-san." Kyoto said.
"It's okay… I do miss him, but I feel that he is still watching over us." AR told them.
"But aren't you upset?" Tami asked.
"Tami…" Gram Gram scolded.
AR just gave a small laugh. "If I did, then my Dad would've been upset with me for acting that way." He said. "In fact let me tell you one more tale about someone who was angry with her life and ended up learning a valuable lesson…."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Kaorin's Tale)
10 Years Ago…….
A young Kaorin was waiting on stage on the day before Christmas. Her class was going to perform Twas the night before Christmas, as part of her school's Christmas pageant, she was playing Prancer.
She felt kind of nervous, in fact she had insisted that her mom Kari to take her to the school early so that she could get some extra practice.
"I have to look good for mommy and daddy." she thought.
All week her father Akira was looking forward to her little Kaorideer as he would call her that week, perform.
It was then that her teacher walked up. "Okay children, everyone get ready." she said.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As the curtain opened, Kaorin look towards the audience and noticed…. That only her mom was out there. "Where could daddy be? She wondered.
"Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house." A little boy said on stage as the performance began. "Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse….."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After the school pageant was over, Kaorin walked up to Kari. "Mommy, is daddy mad at me?" she asked.
"No sweetheart, something must have just come up for him at work, you know how he's always going to the observatory." Kari assured her, but deep down, she knew something was wrong because not even his job as an astronomer would keep him from watching anything that involved her precious Kaori.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The doors at the Aida house flew open. "DADDY?!!" Kaorin yelled but there was no answer.
Kari also started to get a look of concern on her face. "I have a cold feeling." she thought.
It was then that there was a knock on the door.
"There he is, he probably forgot his keys." Kari said as he smiled at his daughter. But when she opened the door it wasn't Akira… but a policeman.
"Mrs. Aida?" he said with a look of sympathy on his face.
Kaorin just stood behind her mother clutching her hand.
The officer just sighed. "There's been a car accident, I'm afraid…. your husband……"
It was as the world had went silent in an instant.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Azumanga High School, Present Day…..
Soon Christmas would be coming, everyone in Yukari's classroom were talking among themselves about what their plans were.
"My Family is going to Hokkaido." Chiyo said. "Although My mommy and daddy are going on ahead because of an important dinner."
"Wait Chiyo-chan, then how are you going to get up there?" Kagura asked.
"Oh don't worry, My Uncle is picking me up." Chiyo responded as she giggled.
Sakaki just stared out the window. "I'm afraid I was foolish to spend all my money." She said. "So I got a job selling Christmas cake."
"HA HA HA HA HA!" Tomo laughed. "Selling Christmas cake has to be the lowest job you can get…. Next to playing Santa of course."
From behind the room, Madoka just cringed in her desk.
"What about you Yomi?" Chihiro asked.
"My releatives are coming over… again. God how does my mom put up with them." Yomi said as she just placed her head on her deck. "Ho…ho….ho."
"Well it's just going to be me and my family." Wada told them. "What about you Matsuda-san.?"
Matsuda just stared at the ceiling. "Oh I guess we'll just hang around, do stuff." she lied.
It was then that they heard two familiar voices coming down the hall.
"I can't believe you Yukari, are you telling me that you still haven't gotten that Sherry Porter Figure yet?" Minamo asked.
"Hey, don't worry, when it comes to buying something, I'm the master." Yukari responded as she slid the room to her class open.
"Well don't say I didn't warn you." Minamo responded as she was carrying a box.
"Oi Kurosawa-sensei, what's in the box?" Kagura asked.
"Oh it's some toys that I'm going to donate to the hospital after school." She said as she smiled. "I want to make sure that the children that are going to spend Christmas there have a happy time as well."
"A most honorable act indeed." Madoka said.
Chihiro noticed Kaorin just sitting in her desk going over her schoolwork. "Hey Kaorin." Chihiro asked as she walked up to her. "How are you going to spend the holidays?"
Kaorin just stared at her best friend. "Holidays?" She said in an annoyed tone. "I could care less about them."
Chihiro got a disappointed look on her face. "Please Kaorin, you always get this way at this time of year, why don't you put it behind you already?" she asked.
"Because…. It's my fault." Kaorin responded. "Never mind, let's just get ready for class okay?"
Chihiro just sighed and went back to her desk.
"What's with her?" Yomi asked.
"It's something that's been eating up inside her for over 10 years." Chihiro responded. "Her dad was killed in an accident near Christmas and she blames herself."
"Chihiro." Kaorin said as she quickly stood up. "You don't have to tell the whole world."
"Miss Kaorin, you have my sympathies, but you must let go of the past and live for today." Madoka told her.
"Oh that's easy for you, you never even knew your parents, you never had to deal with the pain of losing one." Kaorin responded which caused everyone to look at her. "I'm….I'm…" and with that Kaorin ran out of the classroom.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaorin just ran off the school grounds and didn't stop, tears were coming out of her eyes.
"IT'S MY FAULT!!!!" She yelled. "MAYBE IF ALL OF US HAD GONE TOGETHER INSTEAD OF ME WANTING TO GO EARLY TO PRACTICE, DAD WOULD STILL BE ALIVE!!!!"
It was then that she noticed she was on a small bridge. She saw the icy water below. "Dad…" she said softly. "Don't worry, your Kaorin is coming to join you." It was then that she started to climb over the railing of the bridge.
"Do you really think that's a good idea, because that water looks to cold to go for a swim." A female voice said.
"What the heck?" Kaorin asked in a surprised tone as she turned around and saw a beautiful young woman with long flowing brownish hair and was dressed what appeared to be a blue maiden's robe.
"But then again, if you like to do that sort of thing it's okay." she said.
"Who are you and what do you care?" Kaorin responded.
"You said that if your family had gone together then he might still be alive…. Would you like to see?" she said.
Kaorin clenched her fists. "I don't know what your sick game is, but if you don't leave now, you'll be sorry." she warned.
"I see that you doubt me." The woman said as she sighed. "Very well then." She was about to wave her arms but then she gave her a quick smile. "My name is Belldandy by the way." She told her as she then waved her arms.
"I told you, just leave me…….."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"……alone?" Kaorin finished as she was surprised that their surroundings had changed. "What is this, a magic trick."
"Well I guess you could say that." Belldandy responded. "Now then, shall we go?"
"Go where?" Kaorin asked.
"Why to the Christmas Pageant, you remember the one you were in 10 years ago." Belldandy answered.
"Are you saying you took me back in time?" A surprised Kaorin asked.
"In a way." Belldandy told her. "Now come on, I want you too see something." she then stuck out her hand as Kaorin just stared. "Come on, I don't bite."
Kaorin slowly took her hand and in an instant they were at her old elementary school. "It's the Pageant." Kaorin said. "Why did you bring me here, this is one of the most painful moments in my life."
"But do you notice anything different?" Belldandy asked.
"My mom, she's not here." Kaorin responded. "What's going on?"
A teacher walked by them. "Where is Kaori, our segment is starting any minute now."
"I'm right here." Kaorin told them.
"Forget it, no one can see or hear us." Belldandy explained.
"Like that Scrooge in 'A Christmas Carol'?" Kaorin asked.
"Yeah, I suppose it is." Belldandy said as she gave a small giggle.
"So where are me and my mom?" Kaorin asked.
"Oh you see, the three of you are coming together… isn't that want you wanted?" Belldandy asked.
"Yeah I did, maybe then my mom or even myself could warn dad of any danger." Kaorin responded in an excited tone.
"Really?" Belldandy responded as she waved her arms.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaorin noticed that they were by a highway. "What are we doing here?" Kaorin asked.
"To see how your wish came out." Belldandy responded .
"It will be fine, my dad will be……" It was then that she noticed an accident scene up ahead. "No… that's my dad's car." Kaorin responded as she clenched her fists. "YOU BOUGHT ME BACK TO SEE HIM ON THE DAY HE WAS KILLED?!!!!"
"Kaori..." Belldandy responded. "Look closer."
Kaorin turned and noticed that there were three objects on the ground each covered in a yellow tarp.
"Wow, I can't really handle this." An officer on the scene said.
"A whole family, and right before Christmas." another officer responded.
"What are they talking about." Kaorin demanded.
"Kaori, your father was destined to be killed in an accident, but you wish that you had gone together that evening……." Belldandy explained.
"Are you saying that's my mom….. and me over there as well." Kaorin responded a look of shock came on her face.
"That's right Kaori, I'm afraid it is." Belldandy responded. "I'm afraid that you two were killed as well."
Kaorin just walked up to the three tarp covered figures on the ground. "At…at least we were together as a family when it happened." she said.
"So are saying you want this to happen?" Belldandy asked.
"I won't have to be going Christmas after Christmas feeling guilty." Kaorin responded.
"Well I could arrange it, but there will be consequences." Belldandy warned.
"I'm gonna be dead, what other consequences are there going to be for me?" Kaorin asked in an angry tone.
"Not for you….. For your friends." Belldandy responded.
Kaorin just stared at the blue robed woman. "Friends?" she asked. "They'd probably have a better life if I wasn't around."
"Really?" Belldandy responded as she waved her arms.
Kaorin gave her an angry look "Oh no don't do that…….."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"….again." Kaorin finished as she noticed she was in front of Azumanga High School. "You bought me back." she said.
"Actually I bought you back to another timeline." Belldandy responded. "I'm going to show you what the world would be like if you had been killed as a little girl."
Belldandy and Kaorin made their way to Yukari's class.
"Everything seems normal." Kaorin said as she noticed that no one could see or hear them.
"Well how about over there it's Sakaki." Belldandy told her.
"Hey yeah, that's when I had my crush on her, before I met Josh." Kaorin responded as she blushed in embarrassment.
"But do you remember who else had a crush on her?" Belldandy asked.
"Chihiro." Kaorin said softly. "Well it doesn't really matter, because… wait, now that I remember, Sakaki told me she just wanted to be friends."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chihiro walked up to Sakaki…
"Sakaki-san, I.. I need to tell you something." Chihiro said. "I'm in love with you, I fell in love from the first moment I saw you."
Sakaki just stared at Chihiro. "Chihiro…. I'm flattered, I really am, but I'm just not into that kind of relationship." She responded.
"I…see." Chihiro said.
"We could still be friends." Sakaki told her.
"O...okay." Chihiro said as she gave a weak smile and then slowly walked off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"She's not okay." Kaorin told Belldandy. "I should know, it hurt deeply inside."
"Yes eventually you found out about her crush, you two were real close friends." Belldandy explained.
"Yes we helped each other and got over it." Kaorin added. "But… wait, I'm not around, doesn't she have anyone else to talk too?"
"I'm afraid not, in this world, Chihiro is all alone." Belldandy told her.
"No." Kaorin said as she saw Chihiro walking down the hallway. "Chihiro wait…." she pleaded.
"It's no use, she can't hear you." Belldandy said. "Plus… there's more."
"What?" Kaorin responded as Belldandy waved her arms again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaorin found herself on the same bridge she was going to jump off of. "What is this?" she demanded.
"Irony." Belldandy responded as she gave her a sad look as she pointed to a group of firefighters and policemen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We found her." a firefighter said somberly.
A group of people were also gathered, most of them had looks of grief.
"What would drive a young girl to take her own life like that?" A woman said.
"It's very tragic." A man responded.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was then that Kaorin saw who it was. "CHIHIRO!!!!!!!" she said as tears came out of her eyes. "WHY DID SHE TAKE HER LIFE?!!!!!"
"She was hurting deeply." Belldandy said. "After a few weeks she couldn't take the pain anymore."
"BUT WHY, WE GOT OVER IT TOGETHER!!!!!" Kaorin said as she clenched the railing of the bridge.
"Don't you remember, you were killed 10 years ago, you weren't around to help each other." Belldandy told her as she waved her arms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where are we now?" Kaorin said as she looked at a sign next to a school. "Yurameshi Reform School for girls?… Hey this is where Matsuda was sent after she tried to take out Madoka." She turned to Belldandy. "But Matsuda's reformed."
"Matsuda is not the one here." Belldandy told her as they went inside.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaorin looked as she saw girls who had caused some sort of trouble, from robberies, to fights. "Creepy." Kaorin thought. It was then that she noticed a familiar figure sitting on a desk in one of the classrooms. "Kagura? Why is she in here?" she asked.
"She was sent here after she punched Minamo." Belldandy explained. "Minamo went blind in one eye because of that attack."
"No way." Kaorin told her. "Kagura turned her life around, she's part of out group."
"Don't you remember who was the first person show concern for her?" Belldandy asked.
"Yeah it was….Chihiro." Kaorin answered.
"Chihiro wasn't there to invite Kagura to spend a day with you and her after Matsuda humiliated her in front of everyone at the cafeteria." Belldandy told her. "Because you weren't there to help each other with your crushes on Sakaki."
Kaorin just continued to stare at Kagura….
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Higa walked up to Kagura. "Yo, you all set for tonight?" she asked.
"You bet." Kagura said as she gave a small grin. "Soon, I will show just how tough Keiko Kagura can be."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What is she planning to do?" Kaorin asked.
"Payback." Belldandy responded as she waved her arms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey this is Kurosawa-Sensei's apartment buliding." Kaorin said as she noticed that Higa and Kagura came up the sidewalk.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You got the duct tape?" Kagura asked.
"Right here." Higa said as she gave an evil smile.
"Let's do this." Kagura said as they went inside the apartment building.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Belldandy waved her arms again and Kaorin found herself inside of Minamo's apartment.
Kaorin walked up to a sleeping Minamo. "Kurosawa-Sensei, I think your in danger." She warned.
"What part of can't hear you don't you understand." Belldandy scolded.
A sound came from the door, and then it slowly opened.
"No no no no." Kaorin said as she rushed up to the two figures who came in.
"Look there she is, let's teach her a lesson for me ending up in that place." Kagura said as she slowly made her way to Minamo."
"KAGURA, PLEASE!!!!!" Kaorin screamed.
"TIME FOR PAYBACK!!!!" Kagura yelled when suddenly a gunshot was heard.
Kagura just looked down and saw that Minamo was holding a gun.
"I'M OUTTA HERE!!!!" Higa yelled as she ran off.
"Y…you shot me." Kagura said as she fell over and died.
Minamo just stared at what she had done and dropped the gun.
"She was always terrified for her life after what Kagura had done to her." Belldandy told her. "So she thought having a gun would make her feel safer." She then looked at Kagura's body. "But at what cost?"
"But she can't own a gun, it's illegal in Japan for an ordinary citizen to have one." Kaorin said.
"I know." Belldandy said as she looked at an emotionless Minamo just sitting in her bed. "The police will be here soon, and with it, the end of a promising teaching career."
Kaorin just looked at everything around her. "How, how did it come to this… HOW?!!!!" she screamed.
"I'm just showing you what would have happened if you weren't around… sucks doesn't it?" Belldandy asked as she waved her arms.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Kaorin found herself in front of a monastery. "Where are we now?" Kaorin asked.
"In Kyoto." Belldandy responded. "This is where Madoka grew up."
"At least I'll see someone with a peaceful life." Kaorin said.
"Oh she's at peace all right." Belldandy said as she waved her arms.
-----------------------------------------------------------
They were now inside the monastery, all around, Kaorin saw Monks doing chores and meditations.
"So where's Madoka?" Kaorin asked.
"Norio is with her right now…." Belldandy said as she pointed at him. "Over there."
Kaorin looked forward. "Well I see Norio, but where's…?" It was then that she noticed that Norio was kneeling down… next to a grave.
"What the……?" Kaorin said as she fell to her knees. "MADOKA'S DEAD?!!!!! BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!"
"Remember that fight between Madoka and Higa?" Belldandy asked.
"How could I forget, they had hurt Osaka and Madoka went to fight for her honor." Kaorin explained. "I didn't know about it then, but Madoka has a fear of cats and Matsuda used it to her advantage."
"That she did." Belldandy responded. "As I recall, Matsuda was about to stomp on her face."
"And Rachel tackled her." Kaorin finished. "And then Matsuda was going to have Higa pull her..braids….OH DEAR GOD NO!!!!!!"
"No, Rachel did not have her braids pulled out, Madoka managed to hit Higa with her forehead touch, but in her weakened state, it just stunned her. Rachel was okay, But then Madoka fell to the ground and Matsuda…."
Kaorin's eyes grew wide… "She stomped on her face?"
"She was brain dead by the time they got her to the hospital." Belldandy told her. "Matsuda was tried as an adult and was sentenced to life in prison. Higa, for testifying against Matsuda was just given probation and was sent back to the Yurameshi Reform School."
"KAGURA SAVED THEM, SHE KICKED HIGA'S BUTT!!!!" Kaorin screamed.
"KAGURA WASN'T AROUND, SHE WAS AT THE REFORM SCHOOL FOR ATTACKING MINAMO, BECAUSE CHIHIRO WASN'T AROUND TO CONSOLE HER!!!!!!"
Kaorin just covered her ears. "STOP IT!!!!!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaorin found herself in a long hallway that seemed to be endless. "Where…where are we?" she asked.
"Your fate." Belldandy asked as they walked up two doors. "One leads to the world where you were killed as a little girl, the other one leads to the life you live now."
Kaorin was quiet for a few seconds. "It hurts me every Christmas that my dad isn't around anymore." she said. "But knowing how everyone's lives would change because of my not being there." She stared at Belldandy. "What should I do?"
"I'm sure you'll make the right choice." A voice behind them said.
Kaorin turned around and just stood there… "D…daddy?"
Akira just smiled as he stared at her daughter. "My dear Kaori, how can you still think about choosing what to do?" He said.
Kaorin ran up and hugged him. "But I miss you so much." She said.
"But I'll always be watching over you." Akira told her. "And you have such wonderful friends who care about you as well."
"I know, but it's my fault that….." Kaorin started.
"No, it was never your fault, either way I was going to drive down that highway by myself or with you and your mother, I'm just happy that you weren't with me when it happened." Akira told her. "Now please, go to a world where I can see my precious Kaori live a happy life."
"Father knows best." Belldandy said as she smiled.
"I wonder if they even had a happy Christmas after everything I had said." Kaorin told them.
"See for yourself…." Belldandy said as she opened a door

Kaorin walked though the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaorin slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying down on the bridge as it had become nighttime. "Am I back?" She thought.
"KAORIN!!!!!" A voice was heard screaming.
Kaorin turned around "Chihiro?" she asked. "CHIHIRO!!!!" Kaorin ran over and hugged her best friend.
"Kaorin are you okay?" A worried Chihiro asked.
"I couldn't be better." Kaorin responded.
"Everyone got real worried and started to look for you." Chihiro told them. "Your mom is worried sick."
"Sorry, but I was out learning a few things." Kaorin responded as she smiled.
"Hey Kaorin, you sure acting different, are you sure you're okay I was afraid that you were going to do something crazy all alone like that?" A worried Chihiro asked.
Kaorin looked up and saw a star glowing brightly. "I was never alone…." she said as she gave a warm smile. "Come on, I got a lot of apologizing to do."
And with that, Kaorin and Chihiro walked off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AR: And so you see, Christmas can be a magical time of year, where friends and family can celebrate love….THE END!!!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Azu-Orphans cried at that last tale that AR had told them.
"Those were wonderful stories." Korin said as she smiled.
"Yeah, it sure was fun hearing them." Kogora added.
"Hey look, it stopped snowing." Tami said.
"Well I guess I'll see if the van will start." Gram Gram said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fortune smiled upon them as indeed the van finally did start.
"It looks like yet another Christmas Miracle just like in AR-San's tales." Chiya said.
"But I'm sorry girls, I'm afraid it's too late to go and see Santa." Gram Gram told them.
"It's okay, we had a fun time at AR-san's house anyway." Yomo told her.
"Yeah it was fun." Suzuki added.
"Thank you for everything." Gram Gram told AR.
"No problem." He responded. "And if you ever need anything, look me up."
"We will." Gram Gram said as they drove off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the van drove up to the orphanage, everyone noticed another van parked there.
"May I help you?" Gram Gram asked.
"Yes." A woman said as she came out of her van. "We have some girls that need to be placed somewhere and we were hoping you would take them in."
"Oh we always take in any girl that needs help." Gram Gram said as she smiled.
The woman opened the back door to her van and several little girls came out.
"This is Moduka, Chihara, Raquel, Waka, and Metsuda. I hope you can welcome them." she said.
Gram Gram just stared at them in disbelief.
"T…those are like the girls from AR-san's story." Chiya said.
"But it can't be…could it?" Yomo asked.
"It's….. Christmas Magic." Kyoto said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in his house, AR was sitting in a chair next to a huge Christmas tree. "Christmas magic….indeed." He said softly as he then looked out the window and saw a star glowing brightly. "Merry Christmas Dad." he said as he gave a warm smile.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THAT'S THE END!!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This tale is based on a dream I had where Kaorin met her father, it was very emotional for me to do but it also helped me to find some closure dealing with the passing of my own Father.
So this is for you Dad, I know that you are up there watching over everyone in our family.
Note: I decided to use Belldandy from OH MY GODDESS, because I've liked that anime as well ^^
I really hoped you enjoyed this special fanfic that I wrote, so until then, take care……Joseph
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
And….
….'till next year ^^
