New Years Special
"Hurry up, Gingka!" Tenma shouted as she walked up the stairs while waving to Gingka. It was new years eve and everyone was preparing for the end of the year. Everyone was dressed up in Kimonos and Yukatas. Tenma was wearing a white kimono with faint blue flower markings, and her hair was decorated with a white flower.
"Im coming!" Gingka shouted at the bottome, wearing a plain blue yukata, with a big, long white muffler.. "They wont fire any fireworks before 0.00, so we still have a lot of time!"
"Just hurry up!" Tenma shouted as she went further upstairs to where the others where waiting.
"Tenma!" Washiza waved from where she was standing together with Tsubasa, Yuu and Tenbin. She was wearing a brown kimono with blue waves and white clouds. Tsubasa was wearing a brown yukata, Tenbin a lime green one and Yuu a yellow one with his ahir tied in a pony tail, since his hair hasn't regressed back.
"You guys are late, everyone else came 10 minutes ago," Tsubasa remarked when he saw Gingka arriving while he panted.
"Sorry, there was this store that selled really good Kamaboko..." Gingka explained while rubbing the back of his head
"Kamaboko?" Tenbin and Washiza asked in confusion.
"Its fish cakes, a type of snack," Tsubasa explained.
"Ugh, fish?" Tenbin asked a bit disgusted, while Washiza looked a bit curious.
"How does it taste?" she asked.
"Well, why dont you try yourself?" Gingka asked as he handed her a box with pink Kamaboko. When she tried one, she slowly began to smile brightly. "Is it good?"
"Its delicious!" Washiza said still nibbling on her snack.
"Is that so! Well then, why don't you guys try some other stuff!" Gingka asked cheerfully as he put down a bag full of japanese snacks.
"Whats this?" Tenbin asked as he held up a box with some blac paper looking stuff inside.
"Its Kombu, boiled seaweed," Tsubasa answered.
"...WHY DO THE JAPANESE HAVE WEIRD STUFF FOR SNACKS!?" Tenbin asked. First fish cake, and now seaweed?
"Its not that bad!" Gingka asked while chewing some Kombu, inviting Tenma to try some.
"... It tastes salty, but it doesnt taste bad!" Tenma said as she tried some Kombu.
"Whats wrong with you guys?" Tenbin asked before he noticed some green ice cream looking stuff. "Ooh, ice cream!" Tenbin said as he took a spoon full of the green matter.
"WAIT, TENBIN! THATS..." Tsubasa tried to warn in vain, as Tenbin already put it in his mouth.
GOMP
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Tenbin screamed in severe pain. "What the heck is this thing!" Tenbin screamed as he stretched out his tounge and looked everywhere for water, while the rest of the group bursted in laughter.
"That's wasabi, its very strong stuff..." Tsubasa explained as he tried in vain to hold back a small laughter.
Meanwhile, Team Dungeon was already heading towards the temple shrine, and was walking upstairs among the crowd.
Kotone was wearing a pink kimono with sakura petals, and her hair was tied in two piggytails. Toby wore a plain white yukata with black markings on, and they were both eating cotton candy. Zeo wore a garnet red yukata, with his hair a bit messier than usual. Kogitsuneza wore a black yukata with his hair tied in a loose ponytail. Masamune wore a green yukata that was orange around the edges, and was carrying bags full of snacks, wjile hcewing on some takayoki. Ikka Kuju wore a turqoise yukata and was eating some dango.
"Masamune?" Kotone asked, since she knew he was japanese and knew a lot more. "Why do people go to the shrine on new years eve?"
"Why?" Masamune asked while swallowing his takayoki. "Oh crap, I dont know the answer to that! How am I supposed to say that I dont know the answer when she is looking admirebly at me? Come on Masamune, think..." he thought for himself while sweat dropping, before he answered. "You see Kotone, there are these two lovers, called Orihime and Hika...kaboshi I think his name was, who could only meet each other once per year, because Orihime's father wanted her to make clothes for him, so the only time when the two lovers could meet was for... some birds to make a bridge so the two could meet!" Masamune explained nervously while Kotone listened intently. "It is said that if it rains, the two lovers had to wait another year before the could meet..." Masamune finished his storie witha broud smile, while Zeo and Tony sweatdropped.
"That's tanabata you are talking about, and its celebrated during the summer," Toby corrected him.
"And his name was Hikoboshi," Zeo added. "Masamune, you are japanese and we know more about japanese culture than you do!"
"Hehe, my memories must be a bit rusty..." Masamune said a bit embarresed.
"So, why are we going to the shrine by the way?" Kotone asked again.
"Well," Toby began. "In japan, they have this culture where you do the 'first' thing of the year. What we are doing now is called 'Hatsumoode', wich is the first shrine visit of the year," Toby explained.
"Why is that so special?"
"Well... I dont really know, but there are a lots of "first of the year"," Toby explained. "Like "Hatsuyume" the first dream of the new year."
"Or "hatsudayori"- first letter," Zeo added.
"So... the first thing you do in the new year is a "hatsu?" Kotone asked.
"Yeah!" Toby answered
"Like, "Hatsukoi"?"(First Love)
"Yes."
"Or, "Hatsusake"?"(First liquor) Kogitsuneza asked.
"Yeah..."
"Or "Hatsukodoo"?"(First beating) Ikka Kuju asked.
"Um... yeah..." Toby answered with a sweat drop.
Meanwhile, Mizugameza was waiting under a tree, looking at the other females in beautiful kimonos. He himself wore nothing but his pants, and thick long blue muffler to keep himself a bit warm, casuing many to see him wonder if he was freezing or not.
"Mizugameza!" he could hear Hikaru shout, as he turned around to see Madoka and Hikaru. Madoka wore a pink kimono with a white fluffy muffler with her hair tied in a small ponytail. She decided to leave her trademark goggles. Hikaru wore a ocean blue kimono, also wearing a white fluffy scarf. "Sorry you had to wait!" Hikaru apoligized as she ran over to her bey.
"We had to go shop a bit and... hey, stop staring like that!" Madoka said as she blushed when she noticed Mizuga staring at the girls.
"...so what do you think?" Hikaru asked as she posed a bit in her kimono.
"...you both look hot," Mizugameza silently said as he smiled a bit, making the girls feel flattered.
"Oh really? Thanks!" Madoka said not so nervous about people staring at her.
"Thats unusually nice of you!" Hikaru said with a bright smile. "Anyway, lets go meet the others!" she said as she and Madoka began walking towards the shrine.
While walking, they passed through all sorts of stalls and restaurant, each one attracting the eye in its own unique ways. Food, colours, toys, exciting games, anything you could wish for on a market.
"Arent you feeling cold?" Madoka asked Mizugameza who didnt seem like he cared about the cold temperature.
"Hm? Nah, are you feeling hot?" Mizugameza asked with a goofy grin on his face.
"Of course not, its winter, baka!" Madoka said a bit embarresed, as she walked a bit faster.
Soon enough, they saw Team Dungeon chatting about something.
"Hatsutoriehomon!(First toilet visit)" Ikka Kuju screamed.
"Hatsukyoryo!(First salary)" Kogitsuneza screamed giggling.
"Hatsueiga!(First film)" Masamune screamed laughing.
"Hatsubideogame!(First video game)" Zeo screamed also laughing.
"Hatsuwarai!(First laughter)" Toby said laughing.
"Hatsuongaku!(First music)" Kotone said laughing.
"Um, hey there!" Madoka greeted everyone.
"S'up Madoka!?" Masamune greeted his old teammate. "Hey, you two don't look so bad!" he said loking at the girls kimonos.
"Hehe, thanks!" Madoka said as she smiled oou of flattary.
"Hey, you look cute too, Kotone!" Hikaru said as she saw Kotone in her kimono.
"Heh heh, thanks!"
"So, who are we waiting for?" Masamune asked.
"Gingka and the others, and I havent seen them for a while..."
"No need to worry, we are here!" Gingka said as he came marching together with the others.
"How have you all been?" Washiza asked when the group gathered.
"Heh, places," Masamune said. "Anyway, what up with all those bags, Yuu?" he asked when he saw Yuu carrying a few bags with a mask on the side of his head.
"Oh? These are just some nice carnival things I found!" Yuu answered holding up his bags. "Tsubasa was kind enough to buy whatever we wanted!" Yuu said gleefully while Tsubasa sadly looked at his almost empty wallet.
"He was kind to us too!" Gingka, Tenma, Washiza and Tenbin said in unison while holding some bags.
"Aha. Anyways, lets go to he shrine before it begins!" Madoka said as everyone started walking up the stairs. It was 23:39, but there was already a few people who fired small firewoks.
"Ok, the first thing you gotta do when visiting a temple is buying omamori and omakuji!" Gingka said triumphantly.
"Omamori and Omakuji?" Washiza asked confused.
"Is that some kind of snack?" Tenbin asked a bit bitter, still feeling the taste of the extremly strong wasabi.
"No, no, no," Tsubasa said chuckling a bit. "Omamori is an amulet, kind of a lucky charms that contains a piece of paper that is supposed to protect a person or give good fortune in certain areas; some times they provide protection from evil, sometimes it gives you better fortune and etc." Tsubasa explained to the uncunning (mainly all the spirits).
"Now, with explenation out of the way, lets buy some Omamori!" Gingka cheered as he ran to the stall, with the bey spirits, Yuu, Madoka and Masamune shortly running after them. "Alright, time to see my fortune!" Gingka declared as he got his omamori. "Lets see... alright, I got Kaiun!" Gingka screamed as he held up his amulet high up in the air.
"What does that mean?" Tenma asked.
"It means I have a better fortune in general this year!" Gingka said as he tearfully looked up to his amulet.
"Ok, lets see what I got!" Tenma said as she opened her amulet. "It says... en-musbi? Gingka, what does en-musubi means?"
"Oh, it means acquisition of a a mate and marriege..." Gingka explained before he turned silent out of embarresment, while Tenma turned slowly red.
"Hahaha, arent those two cute together?" Hikaru asked Madoka while laughing, before she noticed a dark eerie aura around her. "Madoka?" Hikaru asked her a bit frightened.
"Oh? Its nothing, Hikaru!" Madoka said as she snapped back to reality, as she began opening her omamori. "Please, let it be something good!" she silently prayed before she opened her eyes and looked on her omamori. "Yes! I got a en-musbi!" she prayed as she tearfully held up her amulet and looked at it worshiply. "I still have a chance!" she thought as she tightened her fist in victory. "Huh? No, I just mean, that... I have a chance in general!" she said to nobody as she tried to laugh it away, while Hikaru just stood there sweatdropping.
"Yeah, right..." she said as she decided to open her amulet. "Lets see, I got... Yaku-Yoke? Avoidance of evil? Well, thats certainly not bad!" Hikaru thought for hersef as she content put her amulet in her purse.
"Well, what did you get?" Masamune asked his american friends.
"Kaiun!" Zeo, Ikka Kuju and Kogitsuneza said in unison. "Thats probably the most common amulet they have here, its almost what everyone gets!" Zeo complained.
"Aw come on, its not that bad when you think about it!" Toby said as he smiled looking at his amulet, which Kotone did too.
"Oh yeah? What did you too get then?" Ikka Kuju asked the two.
"Kanai-anzen!" the two answered at the same time. "It means peace and prosperity in one house!" Toby explained as he and Kotone proudly held up their amulets.
"Huh, well what did you get Masamune?" Kogitsuneza asked the unicorn blader.
"Oh, right, lets see... Kotsu-anzen? Traffic safety? Well thats a relief!" Masamune chugged in relief that he would be safe while traveling. Just then, a couple accidently bumped into Masamune, causing him to accidently drop omamori. "Hey, watch it!" he said to the couple while trying to catch his omamori, before it accidently slipped through a drain.
"!" was Masamunes reaction when he heard it splashing into the water. "My lucky charm!" Masamune screamed in terror.
"Calm down Masamune!" Toby tried to calm him to no result.
"Calm down? CALM DOWN!? WHEN MY OMAMORI FELL DOWN A FREAKIN DRAIN!?" Masamune screamed in panic.
"Relax, what could possibly happen if you lose you omamori?" Kogitsuneza asked.
Just then, Masamune started turning into a pale lifeless ghost, crying tears in fear as he trembled in horror.
"...I guess something horrible happens..." Kogitsuneza remarked.
"Hey, look at all those different omamoris!" Yuu said as he and Tenbin looked at all the different colours. "Hey Tsubasa, can you buy these two for me and Tenbin?" Yuu asked politely holding up two amulets.
"No, buy those yourself!" Tsubasa said, not wanting his wallet to lose any more weight.
"But Tsubasa, please!" Yuu pleaded.
"No!"
"Hey, Tsubasa..." Washiza said as she silently wispered something in Tsubasas ear, covering so they couldnt read her lips. Whatever she wispered caused Tsubasa to slightly blush a bit, before he after a moment of silence frowned and payed for the amulets.
"Fine, just this once..." Tsubasa said as he took is change.
"Yay! Tsubasa, you're the man!" Yuu said as he and Tenbin quickly opened their omamoris, while Tsubasa chuckled a bit over him being 'the man' part.
"So, what did you get?" Washiza asked as she bought her own omamori.
"I got... Kaiun!" Tenbin said as he showed them his amulet.
"I got... Gakugyoo-jooju? Education and passing examination? What the..." Yuu asked confused.
"Well, lets see what I got..." Tsubasa said as he opened his omamori. "Shobai-hanjoo... alright, succes in business and matters of money!" Tsubasa cheered as he saw a glimmer of hope for his economy.
"Well, thats good for you!" Washiza happily cheered. "Now lets what I got..." she said as she opened her amulet, wich only said one short word. "Anzan"? Washiza asked confused.
"Oh, Anzan is protection for pregnant womer for a healthy delivery..." Tsubasa explained before he turned silent, as the rest of the group silently watched with big eyes on the two.
"Delivery?" Madoka asked with big eyes.
"Like, a baby?" Masamune asked.
"Pregnancy?" Washiza asked before turning red. "Oooh, Tsubasa!" she said becoming flustered while covering her cheecks with her hands, while Tsubasa just panicked trying to explain everything.
"When did you two...?" Madoka asked all red.
"No, its nothing lika that! Its just a stupid charm!" Tsubasa said, quickly regretting the last thing he said.
"When did you two have time too..." Yuu asked his eyes as wide as a silver plate.
"WE NEVER HAD TIME TO!" Tsubasa screamed in panick.
"Is that why you bought us omamori, so you could..." Tenbin asked.
"NO, I DIDNT!" Tsubasa screamed all flustered.
"Oh, Tsubasa! When did you...?" Washiza asked embarresed, but for some reason she couldnt help but smile instead of panicking.
"I NEVER DID!"
"Alright, now that that's out of the way, lets get some O-mikuji!" Gingka cheered as he marched towards a white bush.
"What is "o-mikuji"?" Kotone asked Toby.
"O-mikuji is where you pay 5 yen to draw a papper straw from those bushes," Toby explained as he pointed towards the white bushes. "On those papper straps there is a 'blessing' or 'curse' written on it, along with varying subjects you are 'cursed' and 'blessed in!"
"Oh..." Kotone said as she and the others ran towards the shrine.
"...she could have asked me..." Masamune said a bit depressed.
"Just that you are useless when it comes to your own countries culture..." Ikka Kuju bluntly declared, as he and a heartbroken Masamune headed towards the shrine.
"Ok, has everyone gotten one!?" Gingka asks, to wich everyone answers 'yes', except for Tsubasa.
"Huh? Arent you opening one?" Yuu asks.
"No, because I dont want any bad curse inflicted on me, and definetly not a blessing about 'you-know-what'!" Tsubasa bluntly said.
"Aw, come on tsubasa, it will be fun!" Washiza said.
"No."
"Come on, Tsubasa..." Washiza said, before she went over to him and wispered something in his ear again. Again, he frowns and gets an O-Mikuji.
"Alright, everyone ready?" Gingka asks before Washoza intervenes.
"How about we one after another reveal our fortune?" Washiza asks. After some deep thinking, the majority voted 'yes' for revealing your fortune. "Ok, we will do it one at a time, starting with Gingka!"
And so, the 'game' went on where everyone had to reveal thei fortune.

"So, thats all the O-mikuji!" Gingka says as he stretches his back, while the one who got curses silently look at their fortunes.
"...You know, if you dont like them, you could always tie them up in a tree; that way, the curse is said to be lifted from you..." Tsubasa explains.
Immedietly, everyone who got a curse tied their curses in a pine tree, except for Masamune who always accidently breaks the little branch he is trying tie his curse on.
"Come on!"
SNAP
"Son of a b*tch..."
SNAP
"STOP IT!"
SNAP
"AAARRGHHHH!" Masamune shouts in despair, since he didnt only loose his lucky charm, he wont be able to get rid of his 'curse'.
"Whats the matter, Masamune?" he could hear an adult voice say, wich was very familiar to him.
"Father!" Gingka said as he ran over to Ryusei. "Where have you been?"
"Hehe, I just brought some gifts to everyone.
"Gifts?" Madoka asked curious.
"Well, first its something from me and Hooza to the beyblades!" Ryusei said he wanted all the youths to gather. "You know how a few months back the spirits from america got their own passports?"
"Yeah, we do!" Kotone answered happily.
"Im still wondering why the f*ck you decided to name me 'Ikkaku Kukumaru'," Ikka Kuju angrily points out.
"Hmph, anyway, me and Ryusei have been working a lot lately, and finally we got all the passports finished!" Hooza said as he took an envelope filled with passports.
"No way!" Tenbin shouts.
"Really? You prepared all this for us!?" Washiza asked excited as a child in christmas eve.
"Of course!" Ryusei said with a big smile. "Here you go!" he said as he handed out new passports. Everyone was excited to see what their new 'names' was like.
"Ok, I will read loudly everyones new name!" Hooza announced. "Tenma! Your name will be Tenma Shirosora Amanogawa! Otherwise Tenma Amanogawa!
"Tenma Amanogawa..." Tenma slowly muttered her name before she smiled brightly out of happiness.
"Moving on! Mizugameza, your name will be Mizugameza Umigami!"
"Umigami, huh?" Mizugameza slowly mutered his new surname.
"Next; Washiza, you are Washiza Hajiro Sorahime, otherwise Washiza Sorahime! Tenbin, your name is Tenbin Chisakumo Kanawan, otherwise Tenbin Kanawan!" Hooza said while smiling, seeing the happy looks on everyones faces.
"Washiza Sorahime!" Washiza happily repeated her new name.
"Tenbin... Kanawan!" Tenbin happily said his new name.
"Also, my name will be Hooza Hiiro Amanogawa!" he said, surprising many.
"Isnt that Tenma's surname?" Gingka asked confused.
"Yeah, from now on, Tenma and Hooza will act like father and daughter!" Ryusei declared, while Tenma stared akwardly at Hooza for a while.
"My... father?" she silently asked.
"Yes Tenma, I know this might be uneasy for you, but this is the best I and Ryusei could come up with, since we are Ryusei and Gingkas beys, and they are father and son so..." was all he could say before Tenma suddenly jumped on him and hugged him.
"Father!" Tenma happily said while embracig her new 'father', while Hooza was put in an awkward situation.
"Still, why am I called Ikkaku Kukumaru, I want a f*cking explenation!" Ikka Kuju demanded.
23:58
"Hurry up, its starting!" Yuu screamed to Washiza and Tsubasa who were running towards the place Yuu and Tenbin sat.
"WHat took you so long?" Tenbin asked the two.
"Nothing special, we were just SEARCHING FOR YOU TWO WHO JUST SUDDENLY DISSAPEARED!" Tsubasa said as he burrowed his fist into their skulls.
"OW OW OW OW!" the two yelled in unison.
"Sshh, the countdown is starting!" Washiza said to the guys.
"Woah, you can see the entire city from here!" Kotone said as she saw the city lights from an high cliff everyone sat on.
"Yeah, supposedly, this is one of the best places to see fireworks!" Zeo commented as he looked at the big crown of people.
"So f*ckin noisy..." Ikka Kuju complained.
"And so, the 2012 mythos are dying..." Hooza said as he drank from a coup of sake.
"Yeah..." Ryusei agreed. "Do you know how long it was since the nemesis crisis?"
"What? I dont know, one year maybe?" Hooza asked a bit drunk.
"7 months."
"What?"
"Yes, seven months, appearently the mayans predicted the world was going to end by a top," Ryusei added.
"Holy shit," Hooza said. "So wait, your son practicly saved the world from 2012, right?"
"No, not only my son." Ryusei said while pouring some sake in his cup. "All the beys of the world saved us from 2012. It was the bey spirit, that saved the world!" Ryusei said before he drank his sake.
"The beyspirit, huh..." Hooza said as he looked up to the sky which soon was going to be filled with fireworks. "Ryusei, why do you think we beyblades became real humans?"
"I dont know... Are you happy that you became a human?"
"...yeah, kinda..." Hooza answers with a smile as a fireworks explodes in the sky
"Were are you goin?" Mizugameza asks a Hikaru who is leaving the temple grounds.
"I have my reasons..." Hikaru says a bit grumpy.
"Whats wrong?"
"Nothing"
The red light turns green and Hikaru starts walking home.
"The fireworks are starting soon, dont you wanna..." was all he could say before Hikaru embraces him when they arrive on the other side of the street.
"Mizugameza... do you hate me?"
KAPAAM
A firework explodes in the background, soon followed ny many others.
"Why do you ask?"
"Because, you always look at other girls!" Hikaru snaps. "You always look at Madoka whenever we are together, you always drool over Tenma and you always ignore me to look at other girls! Its like you always hate being with me!" At her last sentance, she had stop in order to not cry. "Do you... hate me?"
Just as big fireworks exploded in the background, Mizuga released himself from her grasp and took her head, drew it closer and kissed her...
...at the corner of her mouth...
This act cause Hikaru to turn extremly red, while Mizugameza was unfazed by this, even as he stopped.
"Remember: Im your bey and you're my master. No matter where you go, I will always stand by your side, ready to throw away my life for you!" Mizugameza says with a determined look in his eyes. "Im your bey, so no matter what, even if I dont always like you, I will never hate you!"
After a moment of silence, Mizugameza walked past Hikaru and stopped. "Remember that."
Standing silent, Hikaru felt a few tears of relief flowing through her eyes. "Yeah, I will..." she tries to say from her tears. Noticing that Mizugameza still stood there, Hikaru questioned why he wasnt going back to the festival.
"I told you; I will go anywhere you go..." Mizugameza told her witha stern look in his eyes.
"...then lets head back... home."
"Ok then," Mizugameza says as he walks the path to Hikarus appartement.
A bit earlier
"Ok, only a few seconds left before the year ends, are you ready!?" Gingka asks Tenma and Madoka, both sitting between him on a bench.
"Sure!" Tenma happily smiles.
"What do we have to 'prepare' for exactly?" Madoka asks.
"Ok, only 12 secons left! 11, 10."

KAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM!
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Yuu and Tenbin screams their lungs out.
"Happy new year!" Washiza screams as she group hugs her closest friends.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Team Dungeon screams as they celebrate with soda.
"Happy new year!" Gingka, Tenma and Madoka screams as they silently watch the firewords, with a bell chiming in the background.
"Gingka, whats that sound?" Tenma asks referring to the bell ringing.
"Oh? Thats probably some buddhist temple ringing their bells."
"Why?"
"According to tradition," Madoka begins, "every time during the new year, all buddhist temples all over japan ring the bell 108 times to rid of the 108 wordly desires, and thus starting the new year as a 'pure', without any wordly desires."
"108 worldly desires..." Tenma silently mutters while looking first at the fireworks, then up to the sky. "Gingka, Madoka... how many constellation exists in the sky?"
"88," Madoka asnwers.
"Huh... how many beyblades do you think exists?"
"As many as their are stars in the sky..." Gingka answers, remembering a story his mother used to tell him as a kid.
"And... how many stars are in the sky?"
"As many as there are beybattles..." Gingka answers, reminiscing his childhood.
"That many..." Tenma says before she leans her head against Gingkas shoulder.
"T-tenma?" Gingka asks confused, while Madoka gets pissed off.
"I just want to watch everything... like this," she says as her eyes reflect all the light that sparkles in front of her.
"..." in an act of jealousy, Madoka also starts meaning her head on Gingkas shoulder.
"Madoka!?"
"Im... im just a bit tired, so Im resting my head, thats all..." she says in a typical tsundere way, before she again enjoys the fireworks.
"Oi oi, are you serious?" Gingka thinks for himself, as he is sitting in the middle of two cute girls leaning their head towards him. "Well, I can try and endure it for now..."
As the fireworks get fewer and fewer, and the new year comes closer and closer, Gingka looks up to the starry night sky and sees the milky way.
"The Milky Way... the amanogawa... amano..."
"Tenma? Madoka?" Gingka suddenly asks.
"Hm?" they both ask.
"...happy new year!"
"...yeah, happy new year, Gingka, they both say in unison, cuddling on Gingkas shoulder, causing him to blush.
As one year ends,
a new year starts.
As one battle ends,
a new battle start.
For every new life born upon this world,
a new battle will arise in the horizon!
