A Christmas Get Back Together

I made my way towards Evangeline's Cabin, somehow walking through this snow made everything seem so peaceful. I was wearing a orange beanie that had blue stripes as it held my hair in place, a long sleeved red shirt, dark blue jeans that hugged around my hips and legs, a army green jacket with grey hood, and some furry boots. I'll admit I'm thank Konoka took me out to get new clothes that fit, but she didn't need to pick out everything for me.

Though while we were out the store Konoka did some things that almost got me killed by Setsuna, I sort didn't know what she was trying to do either. Thing is ever since Kasey sent me flying down the edge in which made me lose the feeling of how to love. Now that's why Konoka did these really weird things. Let's just say I wasn't alone in the fitting room and sometimes she helped me change.

Somehow I was sort of happy I lost the feeling to be embarrassed or jumpy. Then again they all just kept telling me I was now just some innocent teenager. I'll admit something in me feels wrong, but I don't know if I'm acting different than I usually.

Walking through the snow covered trees made me get lost in my thoughts. Before I knew it, I'd already reached Evangeline's Cabin along with knocking on the door. Though before I could say hi to whoever it was opening the door, I got knocked down the steps into the snow by this person. That person was someone I wasn't expecting to see for next few days. Star.

"Sam! Oh my gosh you're okay!" She was cutting off my air by not only pressing me up to her chest, but her arms were squeezing my neck. I patted her arm so she'd let me go. "Oh, sorry…wait huh no nosebleed or blush. You've grown!" She hugged me even tighter as the snow was now getting in my beanie.

I sat up while slowly pushing her up, "C-cold, Star, and remember I'm human now. I don't heat up anymore like I use to during the winter." She nodded her head as she pulled me up in a second. Oh man, she got stronger too. She began pulling me into the cabin. There sitting around in the living room next to the fire place, was everyone from Darklight.

The first person out of Star to come hug me was Shadow and Scott. The guys hugged me from each side as I tried to hug back. "Sam," started Scott, "Is it me or have you grown taller?" I nodded my head while pulling back.

"Yeah." Gwen walked over to while patting my head. She seemed a bit older and wise.

"It's weird not being able to sense any power from you anymore." I nodded my head slowly while feeling to smile get smaller on my face. That's right…I'm the only normal one now. I can't even be stronger with my pactio cards.

"Sammy!" I looked back to see it was Emily. She jumped me from behind. That's when something happened that my usual self would find unlucky and wrong, but while I thought it was unlucky though the wrong part I didn't get. I'd managed to fall atop of Star while was on me. My head may have been on Star's chest, but Emily's position you could say was a little exposing.

While Emily fell on top of me and I somehow managed to spin around to catch her in my arms, her arms were somewhere else along with Stars. Emily's had not only pushed up my shirt, but they were also under my bra as Star's hands were groping my legs. I could feel the eyes on us, as we were all three on the ground.

I opened my eyes to see that Emily was looking down at me with her nose bleeding. The look in her eyes seemed very scary. "S-S-S-Sam…your breast are bigger than I thought and I'm actually feeling them!" She began to grab them more.

"Emily, get off her!" I felt Star kick her off, which sent her flying towards Shadow. Her nosebleed only got worse since Star went for her face. I sat up as I pulled my shirt down. Star let go of my legs. She pulled me up with her.

"Thank Star," I looked back to the other guys, "Now I may not feel embarrassed or blush or anything, but doesn't mean I appreciate the staring." They all looked away while scratching their cheeks and heads. I turned back to Star.

"Where's Angel?" She nodded her head while looking at me with a warm smile.

"She's meeting up with Kasey and Asuna in the resort." I nodded my head while running down to the basement. I didn't know why, but I really wanted to see her. Before I knew I was running all over the resort looking for her.

I didn't stop running; I wouldn't stop running unless I found her. That was until I reached the balcony. She wasn't here. There was no one here. I rested myself on the railing while looking down at the water. "Ang…where are you?"

"Right behind you." I blinked a couple of times before slowly turning back. Then that's when she was right there. She had her arms behind her back as her brown hair flew in the wind. It must have reached around her mid-back now. She wore a white pink-laced top with a pink sweater over her, light pink skirt with jeans under, and some brown fluffy boots. Even though it wasn't even year since I left, but it looked like she'd grown, a lot more than I thought she would.

"A-Ang," I ran up to her as she did the same. Before I knew it I had her in my arms. "I'm happy to see you again. It's been too long." She nodded her head while it was buried in my shoulder.

"I missed you so much. Ha-ha, Asuna and I cried over the phone most of the times!" I patted her back while laughing a bit. I held her at arms length to look at her with my goofy smile.

"Really?"

"Ha-ha, yes, but can I ask you something?" I nodded my head while letting her go. She looked down at her fingers while fidgeting. "D-did you ever make a decision?" I felt my eyes widen as I tilted my head.

"Ah," she then started to walk closer to me. She cupped my cheeks while brushing the hair behind my ear. I didn't feel the heat come to my cheeks, no hard thump in my chest, and no spark when she kissed me.

I knew she was feeling something since she was holding on to me. I was simply just waiting for it to end. Don't think of me, as some shallow person who doesn't care for her, but I just couldn't feel anything. When she pulled back, the look she got on her face seemed like she was shock.

"Sam, why are you crying?" I placed my hand to my cheek only to see there were tears there. She didn't know what to do or why I was crying. I didn't quite understand myself, but at the same time I had a feeling of what it was.

"I w-want to know what it feels like…" She looked more confused than shocked now. That's when I heard the footsteps coming towards us. I looked passed to see it was Asuna and the rest of the gang. That's when I remembered something. The reason I lost those feeling was because I hit my head, so all I have to do is hit it again. I looked at Angel while shaking off the tears. "I'm going to fix this!"

That was what I said as I ran over to Asuna, though when I stopped right in front of her to see she seemed surprised. I took a deep breathe while grabbing at the edge of her skirt only to flip it up. I'm so dead. I still had my arm up as my eyes were closed waiting for the pain to be unleashed. Then nothing came.

I popped open one eye to see she was frozen with her face burning red. I just need to wait for one more second, damn. Then she grabbed me by the collar only to pull me up. "What was that for," she asked in a very threatening voice. I didn't know what to do, but that's when I thought of a good plan. Now that I can't get embarrassed or shy, I can do anything that could get one of them to hit me on the head. Good enough!

I pulled back getting out of her grip while walking over to Konoka. "I'm sorry," I whispered as I flipped up her skirt. I knew I was going to be sliced into pieces form Setsuna's blade, but I had to go back to normal. Somehow. Konoka pulled down her skirt while blushing and looking up at me.

"Sam, I thought you got innocence and not bravery." I shrugged while feeling my legs shaking from the fear. I crossed my arms almost feeling my legs give out while looking at Konoka.

"I just lost the feeling of being the shy old me, so now I can do whatever I want! Ha-ha-ha!" I tried laughing like some evil pervert. I was actually really scared because I knew I was going to die.

Setsuna and Asuna got these dark auras around them. Setsuna started to get out her sword while Asuna had that huge blade she gets from her card. I held my arms down by my waist and then everything went blank with air filled with the smell of blood. I wasn't black out, oh, how I wished I were blanked out.

The pain I was having from been hit from Asuna's blade only with Yunagi smack hard into my head wasn't a good thing. I knew people were probably getting after those two for hitting me so hard, but I was the one at fault. I just wanted to be myself again.

"Sammy," was all I heard as I felt something touch my lips. I opened my eyes to see Angel was healing me. My eyes widened as I felt my cheeks flush. I knew the wound on my head was getting smaller, but the blood was just going to my face.

I'll admit, I was happy to get this feeling back, but I felt like it was worse. Once Angel pulled back everyone just looked at my blushing face. I wanted to say something, but I was just sputtering up words. Setsuna nodded her head as she walked over to me.

"That's what you were planning all along, huh?" I nodded my head slowly while scratching my cheek. She helped me up while shaking her head. "I should have seen this sooner." I laughed while looking back to everyone.

"At least I'm back to normal?" Setsuna patted my shoulder.

"For the most part. Look we've got to go. Konoka'a got an omai to attend." I nodded my head while taking a few steps forward, but then I realized what she just said.

"Omai? Aren't you two together?" Setsuna looked over to Konoka, who smiled a bit as she spoke up.

"Yes, but my father and grandfather don't quite now about this, yet." I shook my head while looking at both of them.

"What? Konoka, why haven't you told them yet?" Konoka shook her head as she pointed over to Setsuna. I looked over to Setsuna to see she had quite the serious look on her face. "You're the one that didn't want to tell them…why?"

"We need to go, Kono-chan." Konoka seemed as if she was a little depressed, even after Setsuna called her by her nickname. She started walking, but I did something that would probably get me hit again.

I stood in front of her while looking at her straight in the eyes. "We're facing this Setsu, one way or another. Scott, you have that machine that lead a group of people anywhere, right?" I heard him laugh and then scoff.

"How do you think we all got here? Why, we going somewhere. I nodded my head while still looking at Setsuna.

"We're going to Kyoto for Christmas."

Looks like Sammy's back to her old self again, but will she really be grateful to have back those feelings? Why does Setsuna not want to tell Konoka's father about their relationship? Wait, did she just say Kyoto? Ah, wait shouldn't Ben be with the gang from Darklight by now? You'll have to wait and see what happens next in the up coming chapter of Let's Start Again!

WH: Heya there everybody! Hope you all had a great Christmas/Holiday and New Years, mine sure was fun…sort of.

Lucky: Oh get over it, (whispers) she fell on her butt ice-skating, no big deal.

WH: Oi!

Lucky: Though, back to business, the story's getting good, huh? But if you think this is good, just wait until they get to Kyoto. Things sure are going to heat up.

Sammy: I hope I don't get killed in the process.

Setsuna: You don't have to worry about that much longer.
