This is basically an extra chapter which takes place much later in the story. Enjoy.
"Merry Christmas everyone." called Hibari as she entered the room carrying a lot of wrapped gifts followed by Yagyu who was carrying nearly twice as many.
They had all decided to meet up at the Hanzo vacation home just a few miles outside the city. The home had been decorated from the inside to the out. A nearly thirty foot tree stood in the middle of the large room, colorfully decorated. In the room were all the Hanzo shinobi, master Hanzo included and the Gessen girls along with Kurokage who was standing next to Hanzo. Kurokage's sickness had been cured when one of Daymond's powers went aerie with the [powers of the festival executives and caused a strange dimension flux which not only cured Kurokage of his disease but also made Ryobi and and Ryona's sister, Ryoki into an entity that was could travel freely between the afterlife and the normal life.
"Ahh Hibari, welcome back." called Asuka
"Whoa That's a lot of gifts." said Katsuragi as she jumped from the staircase.
"I told her she went overboard." said Yagyu as she tried to sit the gifts down, only to trip. Her gifts fell onto Hibari and she instantly lost her balance and fell to the floor as the girls gasped.
"..." Hibari closed her eyes and waited for the impact with the ground but it never came. Infact, it felt like someone had grabbed her around the waist as she felt herself go back upright.
"Sorry, that was my fault." said Yagyu as she pulled Hibari back upright.
"Arigato, Yagyu chan." said Hibari.
The girls all got together and helped to pick up the presents. Shortly after they had started Homura and her group arrived, shortly followed by the other Hebijo girls and Ryoki and the festival executive girls. Ryona and Ryobi quickly embraced their revived older sister as everyone began to settle in as Leo, Ageha and Ginrei arrived, having been invited by Asuka.
"Leo, Ginrei, Ageha, glade you all could make it." said Asuka
"I must admit, I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would live to see a sight like this." said Hanzo to Kiriya and Kurokage.
"I know what you mean old friend. Shinobi of different factions all coming together to celebrate the holiday. It honestly feels like a dream." said Kurokage.
"Yes, and we have 'them' to thank for all this. The battle is not over but with them at our side, we can survive anything." said Ren
"I agree." said Hanzo a he looked around
'I wonder what they are doing right now?' thought Hanzo
Asuka's mother had prepared non alcoholic eggnog for the girls and some more with brandy in it for the adults. Just as they we're all preparing to settle in they heard what sounded like humming followed by a slightly familiar and beautiful female voice singing.
"I heard there was a secret chord, that David played and it pleased the lord, but you don't really care for music, do you?" sang the female
"Christmas Carol's?" questioned Ikaruga
"Everyone, look outside." said Murasaki as she looked out the window.
Everyone looked out the window to see Razen, Daymond, Rosette and Kirika outside. The guys seemed to be humming and singing the background parts while Kirika and Rosette were beautifully singing the main parts.
"It goes like this the fourth the fifth, the minor fall the major lift, the baffled king composing hallelujah." sang Kirika and Rosette
The girls, Kiriya and Hanzo watched on with smiles as they finished up.
"Hallelujah...hallelujah...hallelujah...halleeeluuujahhhhhh." the group finished.
Everyone began clapping as Kirika and Rosette took a slight bow. It was at that moment that everyone noticed the a very large futuristic truck coming up towards the house being driven by Jin.
"Hi everyone, Merry Christmas." said Kirika
"Hello Kirika san, Merry Christmas." responded Hibari
"Nice entrance." said Katsuragi as she winked at Razen, causing him to blush slightly and earning some ere from Asuka
"This is a surprise, we weren't expecting you all to show up here." said Ikaruga
"Razen's idea." said Daymond as he pointed at the blood OverSeer.
"Don't go there cause I can play that game to." said Razen with a smirk.
Daymond looked at him and then at the girls, more specifically Leo, who waved at him with a smile and slight blush and Yumi, who bowed with a slight blush as well.
'I really hope this stay's peaceful' thought Daymond
'Tell me about it. I don't need any drama today.' thought Razen
'Hehe, Daymond, Razen, what do you two think of Leo, Yumi, Katsuragi and Asuka's christmas outfits?' thought Kirika
Leo was wearing a red dress knee length strapless dress with matching red gloves and knee length high heel boots. She had a red head band that had a rose on it on her head and a very slight touch of make up with lite red lipstick. Needless to say, she looked very graceful and beautiful. Yumi had decided to wear a Christmas themed yukata and as always, she looked very elegant. Leo caught Daymond looking at her and decided to speak up.
"Is it too much?" she asked with slight concern
"No, no, no. It's very graceful, elegant and...extremely beautiful." Daymond said nervously.
"Th-thank you." she replied causing both Ginrei and Leo to shoot Daymond unreadable expressions
'I think those two still want me dead.' thought Daymond
'Yep.' thought Kirika
"Yumi, you look more elegant then ever. That is a good choice of yukata." Daymond managed to get out, barely avoiding stuttering but kept the slight blush.
"Thank you." she replied with a slight bow and blush.
Asuka wore what looked like a long auburn wool sweater/dress combination, a lighter color vest, auburn boots and had her hair let down and neatly combed. Katsuragi was wearing blue jean shorts, and unzipped lit blue hood, a matching lite blue shirt with a snow flake on it. It was at that moment he took more time out and noticed Murasaki and Souji's attire. Souji's was similar to when he first met her, only it had more of a Christmas ornate glow to it, or perhaps it was just him. Murasaki had on an outfit similar to Asuka's only the sweater was a dark purple, she also had on a black headband.
"I like that Asuka...It has this...elegance to it that I can't really describe." said Razen
"Oh, th-thanks." she replied
"That outfit is unique Souji...I don't think I've ever seen a combination of cool and sexy for this time of the year." he said
"That is understandable, I am a goddess after all. I can make things that seem incredible to other's." she said
'Still the Narcissist.' thought Raze
"Murasaki, you look amazing, that really suites you." said Razen
Murasaki didn't say anything, she merely hid her face in her hands as she turned away with a bright red blush.
"...Your nice...Your not tricking me...are you?" she asked
"Murasaki, you should know that I can't lie to anyone, especially you." replied the blood OverSeer.
Murasaki then moved her hands a bit to reveal a small smile.
"...Thank you...It was wroth coming here." she said
Razen blushed at Murasaki's words.
"You as well Katsuragi. You really add some flavor and coolness to it...never seen that kind of style for Christmas." he said
"Thank's, that's sweet. Want a closer look?" she said as she backed up against him as she grabbed his hand causing him to blush brightly but his expression went to a frown.
"I'm really beginning to get tired of you constantly teasing me." he said with some annoyance in his voice.
"Awww, but it's fun to see your reactions, but I have two questions for you." she said
"What?" he asked as he closed his eye's but maintained that frown.
"Do you really think we're teasing you all the time?" asked Katsuragi in a non-joking manner.
The moment she said that, Raze's eye's snapped open and he felt his heart rate speed up before another thought crossed his mind
"Wait a second, we?" he asked
Before he could say anything else, someone hooked onto his free arm. He looked over to see Asuka, who was giving Katsuragi a look that basically said 'I am not losing to you'. Someone then lightly grabbed the back of his coat. He looked back to see Murasaki had one hand grasped on it and was looking at him with what you would call a puppy look. Razen then felt a killing aura in the area and saw that Daymond and everyone else besides Katsuragi, Asuka and Murasaki had moved away. He then looked towards the source and saw Souji enveloped in an evil aura.
"My oh my, you would choose them over serving a goddess?" she questioned as the killing intent from her rose.
'Day, please do something.' thought Raze
'Not much I can do, this is you problem, deal with it.' replied Daymond
'Your the one that was constantly helping them out, you even managed to help Murasaki not only overcome her trauma but did the impossible and got her to gain a crush on you.'
'Well I know she has a crush on me now thanks to what just happened'
'...How thick can you be? do you even know that both Asuka and Katsuragi like you as well?'
'...'
'...'
'...When?'
'After we destroyed Sepiks perfected and stopped Viceroy and Miu.'
'...'
'...'
'...'
'...'
'...'
'FUCK, Why did this happen to me?'
'I warned you this would happen if you got too involved. I've been through this in multiple worlds and now your gonna have to make a choice sooner or later.'
'I just wanted to help them.'
'And what did you think the results of that were going to be?'
'...'
'I'm sorry, but this is something I can't help you with. You have to do this yourself because it's you heart and feelings, not mine.'
'Great, what do I do now?'
Katsuragi and Asuka both noticed the look of distress on Razen's face and decided to start a conversation.
"Hey, what's with the truck Jin's driving?" questioned Katsuragi
"Yeah, what's in that?" asked Asuka
Daymond and Razen gave them all a smile.
"Oh, just a few things that we all picked up for you, but first, Ikaruga can you come here for a second?" Razen called Ikaruga over.
Ikaruga made her way to the blood OverSeer. Razen then reached over to a hidden compartment on the truck and pulled out what looked to be a sword wrapped in gauze.
"Daymond fixed it for you. He also added a fragment of the metal he used to make his Platinum Dramic so it's practically indestructible, just try to be more careful from now on okay." said Razen as he handed her the weapon.
Ikaruga unwrapped the gauze from the weapon to reveal a reforged Hein which was previously broken to pieces from the battle with Miu and Viceroy. Ikaruga looked in awe at her returned weapon and then smiled as she swung it lightly.
"Thank you very much." she said with a bow as she put Hein into it's sheath.
"Okay now for the gift presentation, Jin!" called Kirika
At this, Jin pushed a series of buttons and the back of the truck disconnected completely and floated to the ground. As it landed, the tarp covering it came off and revealed a mountain of wrapped gifts and some stuffed animals.
"I think we should get the stuffed animals out the way first, agreed?" suggested Kirika
Her falso Guardian and fellow OverSeer's nodded in agreement, except Jin, who just scuffed as he exited the truck.
"First up we have...Mira, oh and look at this, its right next to one of her gifts." said Kirika as she picked up a medium sized box and a rather large stuffed black dog.
Mirai's eyes sparkled as she squeezed the stuff dog before looking at the gift tag on her wrapped present to see it was from Kirika. She quickly opened and let out a gasp before jumping up and down like a little school girl.
"AWESOME, AN APPLE X SERIES LAPTOP AND AN IPHONE 7" she said loudly
"Thank you thank you thank you." she said as she hugged the sun OverSeer earning a gentle smile from her.
"Okay next we have...Hibari." called Razen
Hibari quickly approached the blood OverSeer
'She really is like a little sister.' he thought
Razen then pulled a human sized pink bunny plushie from the truck and sat it in front of Hibari but before she could hug it Razen put out his hand and pushed something on the back of its head. Suddenly the bunny made a sound similar to a google pixel starting up before its eyes lit up in a soft gentle blue color and looked at Hibari before speaking.
"Hello." said the rabbit.
Hibari jumped up once while saying ;best Christmas ever' before hugging Razen tightly as she laid her head on his chest, which he patted, earning a slight glare from Yagyu.
'Sorry, she's like a little sister, too cute.' He said with his eyes.
Yagyu's glare softened as she merely nodded.
"Tehehehe this is the bes...is that eggnog?" Kirika said as she caught a whiff of the scent.
"Yes, would you like some?" asked Asuka's mother as she brought in a tray with six cups.
Kirika and Jin both took a cup but as soon as Jin took a sip his entire face went slightly red which did not go unnoticed by Daymond.
"Does that have rum in it?" he asked
"Umm, I think the one he took may have been one of the alcoholic ones." she replied
"Ohh dear." said Kirika as she scratched the back of her head.
"Is there a problem?" asked Asuka's mother
"Jin is what we call a light weight when it comes to handling liquor so something like rum does not really fall well with him." said Razen
Everyone watched as Jin slid back onto the truck and looked up with his eyes half way open before taking another sip of his beverage. Before he could take another sip, Razen took it away from him and drunk the rest.
"Wait Raze, aren't you weak against liquor too?" questioned Rosette
"Not rum, only White Hennessy for some reason." he replied
"Okay back to the gifts before Jin passes out. Next one is for...Oh, Minori." called Kirika as she pulled out a large white rabbit and...
"Huh, where did this come from?" said Kirika as she pulled out a colorful candy set.
"Wait, isn't this the kings set candy from Osaka?" said Kirika as she looked over the contents of the sweets before noticing a drooling Minori.
"Okay, okay here you go sweetie." she said as she handed over the sweats.
"Thank you very much miss Sun." she said as she took a lollipop from the set.
'Miss Sun?' thought Kirika as she looked at Daymond and Razen who merely shrugged.
"Okay, that seems to be all the do...hold on, there's two here for...Yumi and Leo, I think I know who these are from." said Kirika as she grabbed two stuffed animals that appeared to be a lion and a cat.
"Whoa that is really cute." said Leo as she took the Lion
"It...really is cute." said Yumi as she smiled at the cat.
"Meow!"
"Huh?" said Yumi caught off guard before a pure white kitten emerged from behind the doll and made its way over towards Yumi.
"Look at that, a bonus gift." said Kirika as Yumi picked up the kitten and cradled it with a smile.
"Awe it's so cute." said Hibari as she looked at the snowy cat.
"It really is." said Yomi
After some more time had passed with singing, drinking eggnog and conversations it was now twelve AM and time for the final event of the morning.
"Okay everyone, time for the main event. It's twelve am so you know what that means." said Kirika
"Oh yea." Homura said with a fist pump as everyone headed for their gifts but was stopped by Daymond.
"Hold it, before that, I got a little surprise gift for everyone." He said as he pointed up to the sky.
Everyone looked up and gasped in awe. The aura lights were shining brightly and the Absolution was hovering above, the words Merry Xmas on it in Christmas lights.
"It's so pretty." said Asuka
"Yes." said Leo
Razen looked on at the scene with a smile as he and the other OverSeers watched the scene along side the Senran Kagura group.
'I will eventually have to make a choice, a painful choice but for now, I want to enjoy this moment. A moment that last forever.' he thought as he stepped away from the group.
"Razen?" called Asuka as he stepped out in front of the group.
The blood OverSeer then turned around to face everyone.
"As you all know, my life has been anything but fun and normal, and even though I realize we all still have many more trails to face...I just want to say that...No matter the trails...the tribulations...No matter what may come...I am soo glade...to have met every single one of you...and to be able to call you all...my friends." he said while fighting back tears.
Everyone aside from Jin and Daymond, who had his eyes closed had tears at the corners of their eyes. Everyone knew of Razen's past but they didn't judge him, they all choose to give him a second chance. After all, everyone deserves another chance. No matter who they might be or what they've done in the past. All the matters, is how they try to make it right.
"We're here for you Raze." said Katsuragi
"Yea, and we always will be." replied Asuka
"MERRY CHRISTMAS." everyone said towards Razen.
"Thank you everyone." he said as he wiped the tears from his eye's before smiling back.
"And Merry Christmas...Everyone and a happy new year." he finished
Chapter end. Christmas special in the book. I wasn't planning on doing this but I decided to after some convincing. Sorry it's so short but I wanted to get this up sooner. Oh well, Daymond Sanctum signing out.
