A Wonderful Time of the Year (Closed)

Group A As much as Kaya really, REALLY wanted to believe what Marigold was saying was right, that she should just come clean to her parents about Hawkeye... but she knew that her family wouldn't accept him, at least not all of him. "I'm sorry, Marigold, but Lothar's right. I can't tell them about Hawkeye... I can't risk losing him, not being able to have him stay with me every night like we've been doing. Please understand."
"Kaya..." Kazuo muttered, feeling a tad bit upset at her response despite him completely understanding what she was going through. Kazuo himself is still hidden from Yuji's father and brother, so he isn't one to talk and even agrees with Kaya on that front. "I'm with her on this one, Marigold. I don't wanna have Yuyu's father know I exist."
Lothar mentioned how Weston sounded like Mandrake's father, Theron, commenting on how he may have books like that as well. "Weston's really nice, though. He once let me and Yuyu inside his house to get out of the rain. He's kinda funny sometimes, as well!"
"Aha... this one!" Kaya said, pulling out a book from the bookshelf: The Lightning Thief. "I think Hawkeye could get a kick out of a book with greek mythology." She, too, would then line up behind Lothar to pay for her things, followed soon after by Kazuo. "So, to the electronics store after this, guys?" Group B Things were still not looking good for this group at the moment. Mandrake was merely facepalming from a few feet away while Zack was still lecturing both Yuji and Hawkeye about getting along. As much as he was desperately trying, the truth was that it wasn't something that could be fixed. The root of their problems ultimately revolves around Kazuo, and neither one was willing to give in and change that. Yuji because of course, and Hawkeye because living with Kazuo was one of the worst experiences of his life.
"You're fighting a losing battle, dude," Yuji bluntly said to Zack. "I'm willing to suck it up for now just go get the Christmas shopping done, at least. But that doesn't mean we're gonna like each other. So, are we going to the video store or the candle store next?"

Group A --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lothar looked over at Marigold hoping the little bee would understand as he said "Unfortunately, Marigold, humans are not ready to have digimon roaming around in plain sight. Maybe one day Kaya's family will be ready to learn about Hawkeye but apparently they aren't yet ready." When Kazuo mentioned Yuji's father once again his curiosity, now peaked, caused him to glance over at Kazuo before he asked "You mentioned before that Yuji's father frightens you. Why is that, Kazuo?"
"Mandrake's father is also that kind but can be quite a handful with his mischievous ways." Lothar chuckled before he said "He's not that bad though."
Kaya found a book for Hawkeye before joining Lothar in line. When Lothar was finished paying he stood to the side to wait for everyone else to be ready and said "I am ready to head for the electronics store when everyone else is."
Group B --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mandrake sighed before pulling his hand away from his face while Yuji mentioned Zack was fighting a loosing battle. Walking over to Zack he set a hand on the superhero's shoulder before he said "Zack, I think you should let this go. At least Yuji and Hawkeye aren't at each others' throats so I can work with them just tolerating each other. Not everyone likes each other even if the reason doesn't seem to make sense."
When Yuji asked if they were going to the video store or candle store next, Mandrake seemed unsure as he had stepped back from Zack thinking before he said "I'm not sure to be honest. I don't know what LJ would like."

Group A
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marigold sniffed, waiting until they were mostly unobserved in the hall outside of the book store, pushing against the side of the bag that she was sitting in, making it swing toward Kaya until she could reach out and grab her hands, pressing her cheek to it.
"I'm really sorry you gotta hide." Marigold sighed, pressing her face into the humans' skin and trying not to make a show out of crying. She couldn't imagine anything in life sadder than having to hide from your family. Her family was the most important thing in the world to her, having to stay away from them, having to imagine herself separated from her grandmother and the rest of her father's family, she couldn't imagine anything that might possibly be worse than that. She added an equal hug to Kazuo, again trying not to cry.
Group B
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...You two should be ashamed of yourselves. The season of good will and you two can't even think about burying this hatchet instead of continuing to whack each other with it." He said, crossing his arms over his chest. He wasn't fuming, he didn't even seem all that mad more just...bitterly disappointed with the way that these two are acting on what was meant to be the most wonderful time of the year. "I vote for the video store, there's some DVD and Bluray sets I need to pick up for Marigold. I checked on their website and they said they had the Powerpuff Girls anime discs in stock, I just need to pick up my order." He said, pulling the order card out of his pocket and being very sure to always be standing directly between the bickering duo as they walked.

Group A "Well... it's more like I'm not ready to tell them," Kaya said to Lothar after he explained to Marigold about humans not being ready for Digimon. "I probably should tell them at some point, because it isn't fair for Hawkeye to hide in my room all the time. But right now's really not the time to be talking about that."
Suddenly, Kaya could feel something grab her hand. She looked down and saw Marigold holding onto it, nuzzling her hand with her cheek as she said she was sorry that Kaya had to hide Hawkeye, before she offered a similar hug to Kazuo himself. "It's okay, Marigold, really. We make it work. And Hawkeye, as far as I know, doesn't mind. I know I gotta tell them eventually, I just... gotta be ready for it."
Lothar then asked Kazuo about Yuji's dad, and why he scared the Tentomon. "Well, he's big and tall, and he's very yell-y. He was always angry at Yuyu about something. He's been better lately, but I don't want to meet him... I don't want to be forced to leave. And I don't wanna make Yuyu have to leave, either."
Alright, now that the group had finished buying and paying for their things here, it seemed the electronics store would be the next stop. While this group headed there... Group B Things were still not great with this group. Mandrake was sick of Zack's insistence on getting Yuji and Hawkeye to become friends, asking him to let it go since they weren't at each other's throats for the moment, which was still a huge improvement. Zack wasn't having it, however, saying that Yuji and Hawkeye should both be ashamed of themselves.
"You know what, I'm done with you all," Hawkeye said as he started to walk away. "I'm going to the candle store since I don't need anything at the video store. If none of you need candles, then I'll meet you all at our agreed meeting spot."
"He had the right idea," Yuji muttered. "Too bad I also gotta go to the video store to get Kazuo's present." It seemed like Zack didn't have to stand in between anyone, after all...

Group A
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Don't worry, Kaya. Things will work themselves out in time. I'm sure you'll eventually be ready to reveal Hawkeye to your family and if they are kind accepting people they should accept him as well." Lothar said hearing faints sounds of Lilly fussing and sighed as his and Mandrake's empathic daughter was not enjoying the pervading air of sadness around Marigold and Kaya. Reaching back into his bag he felt around for the tiny Jyarimon before gently petting her head causing Lilly to calm down a bit before removing his head from the bag. Casual observers would probably think nothing more than maybe he had accidentally left his wallet in there and paid him no attention.
Lothar looked at Kazuo with a look of concern when he mentioned Yuji's dad seemed to yell a lot but was something worse going on? "Kazuo, why is Yuji's dad constantly yelling and why would he kick his son out?" Lothar asked looking as concerned as he sounded. He was now worried about Yuji and that teen wasn't even his own child. Meanwhile with stuff paid for Lothar followed the group towards the electronics store.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Group B
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mandrake was now starting to get frustrated. Not with Yuji and Hawkeye, curiously enough, but Zack. Sure Zack's words made sense but the disguised Wizardmon knew the superhero had pushed things too far and, as Hawkeye walked off heading for the candle store Mandrake walked over to Zack resting a hand on Zack's shoulder hoping to stop Zack from poking the proverbial bear more as he said "I think it would be best if we leave Hawkeye alone for awhile so he can calm down." Maybe by the time the group met back up again Hawkeye would be calmer. "Perhaps we should go to the video store first. I still don't know what to get LJ. I mean what does one get a karate trained ninja lion man for Christmas?"

Group A
Marigold also perked up at the description of Yuji's father. It sounded so...alien to her for one thing. She could count the amount of times that her father had really, honestly yelled at her out of anger on one hand. Well, you know, if she had any hands. It just didn't sound right to have a parental figure be an object of fear and stress for their child and Marigold sighed, sitting back and crossing her arms over her chest and she puzzled over it. It just didn't sound right.
She reached out and patted Lily on the head either way, the little empath had picked up on most of that and she didn't want her own bad vibes to bring down the little lady's feelings of the season. She smiled at the Jyarimon and took in a deep breath before letting it out again. She could let it go, even with that dull throb of injustice her father had put into her soul still lightly beating at the center of her chest.
Group B
That same dull throbbing of injustice was pounding in Zack's ear at the moment. It wasn't right, it simply wasn't right. These two being so hateful, being so angry over the holiday. It was all wrong and he couldn't shake the feeling of it, even if he knew that there was very little point in continuing to fight them on it. He only very narrowly stopped himself from following Hawkeye down the way. The single hook that caught him and halted that impulse was the fact that Marigold's present still lay at the video store.
"A karate trained ninja man lion, hmm? Tell me Mandrake, does LJ have any interest in tokusatsu? He could see more than a little bit of himself in Lion Maru." Zack said, chuckling slightly as they turned toward the electronics store. He hadn't realized how much LJ already reminded him of the obscure 70s henshin hero.
