part 1 Coming of Christmas
chapter 8

It's present-giving party!!!
But it looked more like a detective team working non-stop: Sora suspiciously followed Taichi's every move; Taichi tried to figure if there was anything between Daisuke and Ken - which was an excuse to get rid of Sora; Daisuke interestedly watched Taichi's moves towards Yamato and actively cheered him on; Ken was throwing worried glances at whispering Miyako and Hikari at the same time edging closer to Daisuke; Yamato did everything to stay out of Taichi and Daisuke's way but kept finding himself face to face with Taichi.
In the meanwhile, Taichi told Hikari INNOCENTLY to get lost by the end of the party because he had to take care of a very important business. Takeru was busy questioning everybody about presents, and Jyou suspiciously poked his finger into the food. Koshiro was speaking tete-a-tete to Iori, jumping every time Takeru sneaked on him and asked for presents.
"OK!!" shouted Taichi, tired of Sora grabbing his shirt and pulling him in the direction opposite from Yamato. "Everyone, get your presents and sit down on the floor!!!"
Daisuke started ordering everybody around according to his plan.
"Taichi, you go here, next to Yamato!" he shouted. Then the New Chosen children's leader pointed to Koshiro and Iori, and snatching the laptop away, commanded them to sit down.
Koshiro was about to break his neck when Miyako came to Daisuke's rescue and dragged him away from infuriated Koshiro. Finally, everybody was sitting in a wide circle. Daisuke was happy. Taichi was placed between Yamato and Daisuke, Hikari was next to Daisuke, Takeru sneaked to her and edged in between her and Koshiro, then naturally came Iori, Jyou, Ken, Miyako and Sora, the latter took Yamato's hand crashing Daisuke's hopes.
"Why is Ken so far from you, Daisuke?" asked Iori.
"Yeah!" Daisuke dragged Ken over and placed him between Sora and Yamato. "Here, this is much closer and MUCH comfortable, ne?!" he snickered and sent a too obvious glance to Taichi.
"What'd you think, Daisuke, are you playing matchmaker here?!" Koshiro asked ironically.
Sora went white. Taichi laughed at the 'joke'.
"Presents!" Takeru demanded.
"Wait a sec!" Daisuke got in. "If anybody is going to end up in a pair, we have the right to dare them something outrageous, right?"
"Right, Your Majesty," Iori put in. Daisuke missed the sarcasm and a cunning smirk Takeru sent him.
Takeru came first. "I give my present to Miyako! And I know I'm NOT paired, Daisuke!"
Miyako got a new computer game.
"You give it to me only to borrow it, Takeru!" she smiled. "OK, my present goes to Sora!" With this she produced something sparkling, which turned out to be a cosmetics kit.
"I give my present to Takeru," Sora announced and handed him a cute teddy bear. Everybody laughed. "It was your idea. And I think it looks like you, kinda."
"Great!" said slightly flushed Takeru.
"My call," Jyou said, "Now my present goes to.. Hikari! I do hope you like it."
"'How to Make a Perfect Photo'? Thank you, you're so kind... Iori, this is for you."
Hikari smacked snickering Takeru on the head and gave a book about samurai to Iori. Iori bowed and took out a box of chocolate Santa Clauses that he said was for Jyou. Poor Jyou, he was allergic to chocolate...
"There we go again!" Daisuke cried impatiently. "That's for you, Taichi-san!"
He produced what everybody had already defined as pertaining to soccer (it was cute socks printed with footballs) and Taichi handed him a present in return (which WAS Hikari's swimsuit picture and Hikari tried to be-head her brother with her new book on photography).
"Talking about pairs," Takeru said loudly.
The horror of the situation came descending on him. Daisuke sat back and gaped in disbelief. "But, I thought... YAMATO..."
Takeru generated a heated discussion about what to dare them to.
Yamato turned to Ken.
"Merry Christmas then." A small package with a tape slid into Ken's hand.
"Right. Merry Christmas." Ken gave him new guitar strings.
"Cool," Yamato looked like he would kiss the box. He felt light-headed and for a moment ignored uneasy butterflies in his stomach fluttering since the morning. *It's not everyday you give a song to a guy..*
"What is it?" asked Jyou, pointing at the package that Ken carefully placed aside.
Yamato raised his head to say, "I followed Taichi's advice." And again admired the new strings.
"My advice?!!" asked Taichi in horror.
"It's a song. I really couldn't come up with anything more original."
"Thanks, Yamato," Ken suddenly wanted to disappear into thin air on the spot because everyone's eyes turned to him at that moment. It was outrageously embarrassing!
"A SONG?! Written for KEN?!!!" Miyako screamed in surprise. "YOUR song, Yamato?!!!"
"Concerning the dares," reminded Takeru. He wanted to execute his little revenge. "Say, Daisuke, what shall we dare you to?"
"Maybe we let Daisuke and Taichi spend a week together, day and night. *So that you wouldn't be with MY Yamato!* So that they fully enjoyed their informative discussions about soccer?" Sora suggested.
"Yeah, and after that week, we'll test them how much they learnt about their favourite players and stuff. Should be fun!" Iori agreed.
"WHAT!" Taichi yelled.
"Yes, that's nice. You two must spend more time together," Takeru put in.
"You!!!" roared Daisuke. "You only do it to get Hikari for yourself!!"
"Wait!" Taichi protested. *I want to be with Yamato!* Just think - Daisuke and soccer, this stupid blockhead who looks up to your every word was going to make him crazy!
"I knew they wouldn't do it," said Miyako mischievously. "Losers!"
Daisuke and Taichi growled. To hear this from a girl!
"OK. But he laughs best who laughs last!" nodded Taichi. Daisuke copied his nod.
"And what about Ken and Yamato?" Hikari pointed out.
"Oh come on..." Yamato began.
"That's fine," said Ken. "But, please, no sleep-over, spend-all-time-together business. My parents wouldn't stand it." *Neither would my libido...*
"That's OK," Takeru said.
"Yeah," Miyako echoed, "Don't worry. It's just..."
"We want to hear the song," Hikari finished.
Jyou smiled slyly. "I get it, your band has a gig tomorrow night, Yamato."
"We dare you to sing this song there," Koshiro said.
"Yeah!!!!!" everybody shouted.
"You're MAD?!"
Taichi sympathetically patted his knee. "You know, Yamato, it's better than being Daisuke's twin brother for a whole week."
Yamato imagined his band's reaction and the way they would tear him apart... He was in a deep trouble.
"It won't hurt if Ken spaced out a little at the gig. Like, beer?" Sora giggled.
"It'll be fun!" Miyako nodded. Ken gave her a long and killing glance. Hopefully, she didn't notice.
"And the last pair is Mimi and Koshiro," Takeru announced.
"Let him put up a site on all famous fashion houses," Taichi said revengefully.
"And make it run in a week complete with new season's features and supermodels' photos," Yamato said wickedly and relaxed against the sofa in a carefree manner.
"You're... EVIL! This is NOT prodigious! This is SUPER EXTRA horrendous!" Koshiro pouted and hugged his laptop.
The official part was over.
