Kazuma: so sit back, relax and enjoy the chapter. We own nothing.

Omake chapter: Happy Birthday!


In the Order

Iris woke up in her bed and looked out the window to see that it was morning already. She got up and stretched and looked at her calendar and smiled.

"Happy birthday to me!" Iris said to herself as Zidane appeared

"Well, look at the birthday girl, being seventeen and all." Zidane said

"Yep!" Iris smiled and walked outside and saw Kazuma "Kazuma!"

Kazuma turned to see Iris run up to him "Hey Iris, you seem to be in a good mood today."

"Of course. Do you know what day it is?" Iris asked Kazuma who was deep in thought.

"It's the 22nd of February, so I don't know." Kazuma looked at Iris who had a shocked look on her face. "What? What's today?"

Iris shook her head "Nothing, I forgot what day it was." Iris walked past Kazuma "Why didn't he remember my birthday, I'm sure I told him about my birthday. He couldn't have forgotten, could he?"


Iris was walking through the halls and saw Yuki and Miharu talking to each other. Iris walked over to them with a smile on her face.

"Hey Miharu, Mistress Himuro." Iris said as Yuki giggled a bit

"Iris, I'll tell you the same thing I tell Kazuma, call me Yuki, I don't mind." Yuki said with a gentle smile.

"OK, I'll make sure to remember that." Iris laughed

"Happy birthday Iris!" Miharu said with a warm smile.

"Oh yes, you turn seventeen today." Yuki said

"Yeah, well at least some people remembered." Iris said with a hint of sadness

"What do you mean?" The flamvell duelist asked

"Kazuma forgot my birthday was today, even though I told him a few weeks ago." Iris said in annoyance

"I'm going to kill him right now!" Miharu was about to go find Kazuma until Iris stopped her

"No need to go that far." Iris said "I know he has a lot on his mind, what with helping Ritsu and the others with their skills, but would it kill him to at least say happy birthday to me."

"OK Iris. I won't kill him, for now." Miharu grumbled in defeat "But if I see him, don't be surprised if he's has a broken arm."

Iris laughed nervously "OK, I'll go see if Shinji needs any help." Iris walked away while Miharu got on her phone.


Kazuma was walking down the halls with Ritsu as he heard his phone ring.

"Who is it?" Ritsu asked when Kazuma looked at the caller ID

"It's Miharu." Kazuma answered the phone "Hello?"

"Don't you hello me!" Miharu screamed on the other side making Kazuma move the phone away from his ear "You have a lot of explaining to do!"

"OK, before you go on a murderous rampage, I didn't forget Iris's birthday." Kazuma said "I'm going to surprise her with a party, so you can stop it with the screaming. Last time you almost blew out my eardrum."

Miharu remained for a few minutes and sighed, "You better be telling the truth." And with that, Miharu hung up the phone.

Ritsu gave a huge grin, which made Kazuma uncomfortable "How sweet, my little bro is throwing a birthday party for his girlfriend."

Kazuma blushed "S-shut up!"

"I'm just saying." Ritsu laughed, "Anyways, I'll check and see if the others are ready with the arrangements." Ritsu walked away, leaving Kazuma deep in thought.

"I hope Iris doesn't kill me." Kazuma thought


In the briefing room

Yuki and the others were putting up decorations around the room for Iris's birthday party. It was hectic at first but everyone was helping each other out.

"Krad be careful OK." Keira said as Krad was on top of a ladder putting up streamers

"I'm fine this ladder is stable, see." Krad shook the ladder a bit, which almost gave Keira a heart attack.

"I told you to stop!" Keira yelled. "I don't want to deal with hospital bills!" Keira saw Ritsu walk through the door and motioned for him "Ritsu perfect timing, Shinji needs your help with the cake."

"OK." Ritsu walked into the kitchen and started to cough because of a cloud of flour "Shinji?"

"Over here!" Shinji said as Ritsu made over to him, Ritsu saw Shinji and Melody covered in flour.

"Uh, do you need any help?" Ritsu asked.

Shinji nodded "I thought making a cake would be easy, I guess dueling is what I'm good at."

Sighing, Ritsu held out his hand "Give me the apron." Shinji tossed Ritsu an apron and put it on "Did Iris come by a few minutes ago?"

"She did." Melody said, "She asked us if everything was alright. I told her I was teaching Shinji how to cook and she left."

"Alright." Ritsu took the spatula out of Shinji's hand and got the ingredients


Iris groaned while she was lying in her bed, it was already the afternoon and Kazuma still didn't tell her happy birthday.

"Ugh! This sucks!" Iris yelled "Everyone has said happy birthday to me except for Kazuma!" Iris turned over in her bed and heard someone knock on her door.

"It's me." Miharu said through the door. Iris got up from her bed and opened the door.

"Hey Miharu." Iris said in a low tone.

"Wow, I've never seen you like this." Miharu said while she walked in "I take it Kazuma still hasn't said anything yet?"

Iris shook her head "No, and the day is almost over."

"Look, don't worry about him OK." Miharu told Iris "Kazuma can be an idiot sometimes, I should know, I grew up with him my entire life."

Iris laughed "Yeah, you're right. I don't know why I'm so angry; Kazuma is working harder than the rest of us. He's even the strongest duelist on the team."

"Yep, and that's why you admire him." Miharu said while Iris blushed "Come on, I remember the first time you joined the Order and met Kazuma."

"I really don't want to remember that." Iris groaned.


A few months ago

Miharu, Kazuma, Melody, Lester, and Shinji were in the briefing room wondering why they were called in the first place when Shin and Yuki walked through the door.

"I'm glad you could all make it today." Yuki said with a smile.

"I mean no disrespect Ma'am, but why are we here?" Kazuma asked making Yuki giggle

"True, this did come at an unnatural time, but we'd like to tell you all that we have a new member." Everyone but Kazuma looked surprised at this.

"Really?" Miharu asked, Yuki replied with a nod and looked at the door

"Come on in, don't be shy." Iris walked in the room and stopped near Yuki. "This is Iris Rose; starting today she'll be a member in the Order."

Iris bowed towards the others "It's a pleasure to meet you all." When Iris looked at Kazuma, a small blush crept up on her face "Um, can I go now?"

"Yes, you can go now."


Present

"Hey, I was nervous back then!" Iris said while she threw her pillow at Miharu who laughed "It's not funny!"

"Come on, back then whenever you talked to Kazuma you became flustered and stumbled your words together. I have to say, it was pretty hilarious." Iris glared at Miharu who stood up "Come on. We have a surprise for you."

Iris looked confused "A surprise?" Iris followed Miharu out to the hallway when all of a sudden she couldn't see anything because a piece of cloth blocked her vision "What?"

"Don't worry about it." Miharu said with Kurogasa and Kuraki behind Iris "Now, follow the sound of my voice." Iris slowly but surely followed Miharu to the briefing room.


"She's coming!" Kuraki said as she and Kurogasa ran into the briefing room.

"Aright everybody, places!" Kazuma said while everybody was getting into place.


"How much further Miharu?" Iris said while she was slowly following Miharu who now stopped.

"OK, we're here." Miharu went behind Iris and started to untie the cloth from her eyes "Get ready."

Iris removed the cloth as her eyes widened in shock.

"Happy Birthday Iris!" Everyone yelled including Kazuma, making Iris smile and walk towards him.

"So all this time, you were planning a party for me?" Iris asked Kazuma who smiled

"Yeah." Iris playfully hit Kazuma's shoulder "Ow."

"Thank you." Iris hugged Kazuma who returned the affection

"Alright! Here's the cake!" Ritsu yelled while he, Melody, and Shinji carried a big cake to the middle of the room.

"Uh, isn't that a little big Ritsu?" Yuzuki asked which made Ritsu sigh

"Shinji over here wanted to make a big cake." Ritsu pointed at Shinji who flinched.

"Don't put the blame on me!" Shinji countered, causing everyone to laugh.

"Make a wish Iris." Lester said while Iris blew out the candle and everyone clapped.

"What did you wish for?" Nami asked, making Iris giggle.

"You know I can't tell you that." Iris said while everyone was passing out a slice of cake, Iris and Kazuma were on the other side of the room. "Thank you Kazuma, this really means a lot to me."

"I'm glad you liked it." Kazuma said with a smile and took out a small box and gave it to Iris.

"What is it?" Iris asked as she took the box.

"Your birthday present." Kazuma said while Iris opened the box to reveal a pendant with an amethyst stone in the middle of it "Happy birthday Iris."

Iris threw her arms around Kazuma and kissed him on the cheek "This is the best birthday ever." Iris whispered when the saw a flash and looked to see Ritsu and Miharu holding cameras

"Yes! We got it!" Miharu said while she high fived Ritsu

"Ritsu! Miharu! Give me those cameras!" Kazuma yelled and started to chase them across the room. Iris laughed as Yuki walked over to her and saw the pendant.

"Oh my, that's a beautiful pedant Iris." Yuki complimented

"Thanks Mist-, uh Yuki." Iris giggled "It's going to take some time getting use to calling you by your first name." Yuki leaned on the wall near Iris.

"It's a surprise." Yuki said "When me and Shin first adopted Kazuma and Miharu, Kazuma was very protective of his sister and talked to no one but her or me. Shin didn't mind that Kazuma ignored him." Yuki turned to Iris "I think I know the reason why Kazuma is more social now."

"Why?" Iris asked

"Isn't it obvious?" Yuki pointed at Iris "You."

"Me?"

"Yes, you were able get past Kazuma's defenses and make him more sociable, granted it took you a few months." Yuki smiled "Play your cards right and I might have a Daughter-In-Law." Iris blushed, making Yuki giggle "Just kidding, I should make sure Kazuma didn't kill his sister or brother." Yuki walked away, leaving Iris in thought

"This really has been a great birthday." Iris held up the pendant "One that I'll remember."
