What you guys need to do is review with the following

1) Character or Characters….

Now all pairings are accepted so here's the code for pairings if you can't figure it out.

Het: Hetero, meaning GirlXBoy a.ka. BullXCarat, EnjyuXLienaXWen

Shounen Ai: Boy love, BoyXBoy a.k.a JoshuaXCain, EnjyuXGray, YamatoXTerry

And here's one to get it all started, and just incase you still don't get the above here's what this oneshot would be like if one of you sent it on your review.

Character: Gannos, Yamato, Gray

Friendship or Romance: Gannos+Yamato, friendship fluff, mostly angst

Chrissy Word: Snow

Theme: Fight

SPOILER ALERT!! If you haven't seen at least the first episode of Season 2: Fire Spirits you may not want to read this. This contains Gannos, a new character introduced in Season 2, however this has nothing on his b-damon, or anything that happens in the show. Pure fiction using his personality and appearance.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I know that it would probably never snow in Cowtoon as what I've seen of it seems to say it's in the middle of a desert, not the best location for snow. However in this it does snow so just imagine it's possible kay?

Snow

"IT'S ALL HIS FUCKIN FAULT! IF HE WASN'T SUCH A CLUMSY, IDIOTIC, MORONIC LOSER NOTHING WOULD'VE EVER HAPPENED!" Gannos shouted angrily pointing accusingly at Yamato who was equally furious. Liena who had been hoping to patch up the fight between the two and had asked Gannos what was wrong in the first place, rapidly took a step back.

"GEE, BLAME IT ALL ON ME WHY DONCHA?" Yamato shouted back, his face turning a crimson shade of red and Liena almost swore she saw steam coming out of his ears.

"WELL WHO ELSE'S FAULT IS IT THEN? COS IT SURE AS HELL AIN'T MINE!" Gannos retorted back, sticking out his tongue childishly. Sure it was childish, but the motion seemed to aggravate Yamato even more. It seemed that every time Gannos talked to him, he saw red. And right now, Yamato's whole vision was clouded by red.

"NOT YOURS! HELL, YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO TELL ME IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT? GOD, I'M SO DAMN SICK OF YOU! YOU KEEP BEING SUCH AN IMMATURE LITTLE BRAT! WHY DONCHA JUST FUCK OFF!" Panting at the end of his little rant, Yamato glared stubbornly and folded his arms. There was no way Gannos could back down anymore.

"WELL YA KNOW WHAT? I'LL DO JUST THAT AND NOT COS YOU JUST SAID SO EITHER, I'M TIRED OF THIS HELLHOLE ANYWAY." Gannos stormed off, but not before he heard Yamato give one last word of parting.

"YAH THINK YOU CAN JUST WALK AWAY WITHOUT A WORD OF THANKS TO YOUR HOSTS WHO ACTUALLY BOTHER TO PUT UP WITH YOU???"

Gannos didn't bother wasting his breath. He simply stuck up his right hand and flipped the enraged redhead off.

So now Gannos flung articles of clothing into the small rucksack in his room, still cooling off from his blow up with Yamato.

It's all his fault, he thought angrily shoving a pair of legwarmers into the bag. All his fault. If it wasn't cos Yamato was a stupid, inconsiderate, clumsy idiot nothing would've ever happened.

But even as he recited the words like a mantra again and again in his head he couldn't believe it. It sounded like a broken record, played over and over again until it became tiresome.

It was sort of his fault…. NO. NO IT WASN'T. It was all YAMATO's fault. He had to believe that, if he didn't that would mean he was to blame.

"Hey Yamato! Watcha doing?" Gannos had jumped onto the counter and now lay down, head cocked to the side while being supported by his left arm.

Yamato spared a look up and saw his grinning face. "Oi, go practice or something kay? This is really important and I need to concentrate alright Gannos?"

He had been the one to arrive last and he had stayed even though Yamato had told him to go away. In fact Yamato had even said it politely instead of his usual, 'go away, you're bothering me brat.'

NO.

Yamato's fault for appearing first, yes that sounded right.

Yamato's fault for coming here, Yamato's fault for choosing to work around him, Yamato's fault for everything.

"So watcha doin?" Eyes looked down at the shiny metallic parts around him and grinned enthusiastically. "Oh, you're fixing your b-damon. Hey how come I don't get a upgrade?" He pouted dramatically, it was unfair because Master Armada always favoured Yamato over EVERYONE else.

"Cos shrimp, I'm da best that's why. And now can ya leave me alone now that you've found out what I'm doing?"

"Uh-uh." Gannos shook his head smirking. "That's not it."

"Then what wiseguy?" Yamato looked up from his work, irritated.

"Master Armada only gave you the upgrade cos out of all of us, you're b-damon's the oldest, so it's kinda like a rusted tin can."

He had been the one who had started it…. but Yamato had been the one who had taken the bait so that was his fault as well. But the little voice in his head couldn't help say, you can't blame the fish for being caught by the fisherman can you?

Blue eyes flashed accusingly. "Oi, are you trying to say my cobalt's trash compared to your measly piece of junk?"

"Hell yeah! Mine's a million times better than yours!"

"What makes you say that brat?" Yamato snarls defensively, no one insulted his b-damon and got away with it!

"Well for one my b-damon isn't being controlled by a idiot. I mean it obviously has better player cos you beat me by a inch with a strike shot when I was just using a measly b-da ball, so technically for all your bragging I won. Second-"

"Hey hang on! You can't prove that you won!"

"Yea I can, all those townspeople said so!"

"What do townspeople know about true power?!!"

"Who do ya think you are? Insulting townspeople like that!"

"You can talk about insulting people! And anyway those people probably have never picked up a rule book in their lives!"

"So? I never got a professional lesson in my life until I met you. You on the other hand had heaps of experiences and stuff with Master Armada and competing in the tournaments and you still lost to me when I was some random rookie!"

Gannos smirked at Yamato's boiling face and leaned over to scoop up the unfinished b-damon. "At least your b-damon makes up for the pathetic owner."

"Pathetic owner? Gimme a break! I mean if I was your b-damon I'd be dying to get away from your hands. And plus, you're still nothing but a random rookie who got lucky! You woulda never made it into the Winner's if you hadn't gotten that fluke and won the metal shot!"

"I'm no fluke!" Gannos shot back, feeling himself getting hotter with rage.

"Come on, you babble on and on and you're so pathetic! All you ever do is make excuses! I mean you're just a bunch of stupid excuses memorized from the guidebooks and rules!" That tipped the scales. Stupid excuses my foot!

"Excuses! Well, this is what I think of you and your pathetic b-damon!" Grasping the unfinished b-damon in one hand he threw it across the room, expecting Yamato to catch it or at the most for it to drop with a clunk to the floor.

The cobalt blue b-damon flew across the room and like a slow motion film Gannos realised something. Yamato was fixing it so that meant…….. His lavendar eyes widened and he lunged forward, only to find the b-damon fell right in front of him and then shattered, totally disassembling and a few pieces cracked.

That was Yamato's fault too, for not catching it. Of course it was, it had to be.

It had to be…. right??

Right????

Oh, fuck all the pretending. He knew it was his fault. It was all bloody his fault.

It was just easier to pretend. In fact, he thought guiltily that was all he ever did, pretend. Pretend, lie, imagine, be creative that was all he was. And the worst thing was that he was such a hypocrite, he had often told Yamato that he had more bark than bite but with him he knew he was all bark.

He was such a fake. It was all his fault really, the added stress, more noise, extra food bills…. and yet he continued pretending day after day. It wasn't as if anyone really wanted him, he knew Terry just saw him as another idiot to feed and baby, Mei saw him as a extra employee, Enjyu simply saw him as the smarter version of Yamato a.k.a real annoyance with a actual brain, Liena was almost the same as Terry and then Gray.

He knew the blonde never liked him, ever since their first meeting. But that was okay, since he had never liked him much either. He hadn't known why he didn't like Gray but then he had realised it. It probably was because Yamato was his first proper friend, someone he could properly rely on not just someone who came and went at his or her own convenience. And Gray also happened to be Yamato's best friend. Because for the first time in his life, he felt like he belonged and he didn't want the feeling to end.

He didn't feel like a cheat, an unwanted child, an immature brat, a childish idiot who set out at the expense of his village to fulfil a stupid dream, instead he felt like he had a place at last and when Gray had come, he had felt threatened.

So again he had played pretend. He had smiled nicely, and upped his arguments with Yamato even more to the point where it was a daily occurance and people joked of betting when it would start and end. He hung around the others, stole food from Terry while he was cooking, annoyed Yamato to hell, even poked Enjyu just to get a reaction all to gain attention. He didn't want to become isolated again; he wanted to stay in the limelight for as long as possible.

Now however it looked like the show was over and he would be a nobody again. Sure someone might remember him no and again but who gave a damn? He didn't have a real home anymore, he had his village but could he really go back to being a normal 14-year old boy who was continually ignored and had to be annoying loudmouth to get attention?

Could he really forget everything about this place, Mei's Café, gluttonous Master Armada, mothering Terry, Bull the nutty mechanic, Liena the girl-next-door, the Yong Fa twins who did those real cool martial arts moves like out of some movie, Enjyu who had nearly castrated him after he had dyed his jumpsuit hot pink, the homely town of Cowtoon and all the other interesting places he had been… and most of all….Yamato.

He could feel the beginnings of tears at his eyes and he had to blink them back furiously. Yes, out of all the amazing people he had met, the one he was going to miss the most was the most idiotic, moronic, stubborn, meathead, of the lot but….he was also going to miss his idol, his best friend, team mate and the best damn person in the world he had ever met.

He was going to miss arguing over the last bit of pizza, pelting each other with dishwashing liquid and soapy suds on their waiter shifts, laughing as they ran away with Enjyu or Gray hot behind their trails for some juvenile prank, stealing food from a indignant Terry as his cheeks puffed out, battling until they were too tired to talk and just being with Yamato. Now the tears trailed down hopelessly on his cheek and he wiped at them furiously, real men didn't cry and he wouldn't either.

Out of all the times he had to be a brat he had to do it on the first day of December. On the month of celebration, the month that had Christmas in it! The season to be jolly, blah, blah, blah.

Not that he'd be doing much celebrating this Christmas. Sighing, he tied up his rucksack and opened the window. Climbing out of it so no one noticed, as he didn't really want a going away party to remind of how much he would miss this place he realised it was surprisingly chilly. d

Pulling out a grey jersey that Liena had knitted him for his birthday he pulled it on and decided he wanted one last look at this place. Glancing around to make sure no one saw him, he sprinted towards a large tree directly in front of the café's entrance.

Climbing up to a reasonably high branch he took a long look at the place he had come to call home. It looked ever so inviting, with it's bright curtains trailing out the window and the regulars shovelling down pies and hot chocolates especially with the icy blasts from the wind sending goosebumps up his arms.

"You better not leave." The voice is deep and it startles him so much that he falls off the branch with a loud and ungraceful thump.

He looks up to see Gray towering over him and blinks in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"You better not leave."

"You're not answering my question. And why shouldn't I leave? Plus aren't you supposed to be gloating? I mean you hate my guts so why should you care?"

"I don't care. You're damn annoying. But Yamato does."

"Hah! Yamato. Gee, good one. Like he'd ca-"

Before he can finish his sentence he finds himself slammed up against the tree, Gray's hands pinning him up against it.

"Don't you ever bloody say that about Yamato again." Gray whispers harshly, his voice sending chills down the younger teens back.

"I may not be some posh shrink but any idiot can tell how much he cares about you! Why do you think he puts up with you? Why do you think he lets you hang around him so much? He even repels me and Terry if we hang around him as much as you do!"

"And you know why he cares about you? Cos you're his friend, his best friend even! Sure you two fight because you're so similar it's scary. So you better get back in there and apologize to him! I mean why the hell would he let a immature, idiotic brat hang around him if he didn't like the immature, idiotic brat?"

"Lemme go!"

"You gonna apologize?"

"…………"

"So?"

"…………….no-yes."

"What was that?"

"Yes, kay? Now lemme go!" Gray loosens his grip ever so slightly and Gannos's fist soars and whacks his chin forcing him stumble backwards. Sure the actual effect wasn't that bad but it was the sheer surprise that had the blonde stepping back.

"That was for telling me that. I'm not a idiot you know," Gannos turns and runs back to the café leaving Gray behind massaging his jaw.

------------------------------------------------

Knock, knock.

No response.

Knock, knock.

Still no response.

KNOCK, KNOCK.

Some sort of response. "Go away, I don't wanna talk to anyone right now."

Gannos sighed. This was definitely harder than he had thought. And the more this was prolonged the more he felt like running away but he quickly reminded himself that it had been his fault had HE needed to apologize.

Still, he wondered if he could've left a note or a phone call instead of doing it in person. After all his ego and pride put together probably took up the space of the whole b-da world and he knew it.

"Oi, open up or I'm gonna blast it open!"

"You! Just fuck off and leave me alone! Shouldn't you be on your jolly way back to whatever hole you crawled out off?"

Gannos is about to retort before he reminds himself that he is going to apologize, not pick another fight. And if he was to apologize he'd have to go through the door, literally.

Picking up his b-damon he held it up to the door and concentrated.

"B-da Fire!!!" The b-da ball flew straight at the door and hit, and just like that there was literally a hole in the door. Of course there were also many wooden splinters lying around with the planks of wood, a squashed Tommy door handle and of course one rather pissed Yamato staring through the newly made hole.

Hopping through it he plopped himself down comfortably on Yamato's bed.

"Yamato?" He can feel himself freezing up again and he tries to remember he has to apologize. Yamato on the other hand, turns around so his back faces Gannos and flips him off casually.

"Yamato?" Still no response, that had to be a bad sign Yamato always babbled on for ages. It was obvious Yamato was not going to talk to him, possibly ever again if he didn't do this right.

"Um….Yamato….look bout earlier it was your fault that you didn't pick a better space and your fault for taking the bait and your fault for winding me up and being too stupid and clumsy to catch your own b-damon but…….." Gannos trails off and takes a gulp. Yamato seems to be listening so far…..

"But I guess it was sort of my fault too that I came to bother you when you were working and that I poked around and didn't listen to you even though you told me to piss off politely and how I annoyed you and got you all bad and I guess when it all comes down to it I was the one who didn't realise that Cobalt wasn't ready and chucked it so….I guess it's not all your fault….for once."

Yamato turns around and glares. "Not all my fault? What the hell are you babbling about? It was all your fault!" At least Yamato was talking to him now.

Gannos glares back, equally stubborn. "Hey, gimme a break will ya? I mean I came all the way back when I could've been going away from this place just to apologize!"

"Apologize?" The word hangs in the air as Yamato realises what the younger rookie has actually been trying to do. Silence rules until soft chuckles break out.

"Huh?" Gannos glances at Yamato who has down buried his head in his pillow.

"Oi! Say something! You dyin or laughin?"

"And you better not be dyin or laughin at me!"

The chuckles grow into full-fledged hysteria as Yamato finally lifts his head out from the pillow. "God, you were trying to apologize?"

"Yah…and what's so funny bout that?"

"Nothing except it's you! And the way you said it!"

"What about me?"

"Just you! You're so….so…..so….Gannos-ish."

"Course I'm Gannos-ish! I'm Gannos stupid."

Yamato opened his mouth to say more but then breaks out in another fit of laughter, using the pillow again to muffle the sounds.

That's when it hits him. Yamato is laughing…laughing not mad. "So…you're not mad at me anymore?" Gannos asks trying to keep the hopefulness out of his voice unsuccessfully.

"Yeah, hell I'm still mad."

"Oh."

"But ya know….I guess when you've got someone like Bull around anything can be fixed…."

"So….umm….can….can…I…..canIstay?" The words rushed out of his mouth like a logs tumbling down a waterfall.

"What?"

"CanIstay?"

"Why the hell are you asking me? It's not like I'm the one in charge of this place, if it's anyone it's Mei!"

"Cos…….so…you won't mind if I do?"

"Course I'm gonna mind, I'll always mind whatever you do! That's just the way things work round here. But you have to stay anyway cos of what you did to my door!" Yamato pointed at the massive hole in the wooden door of his room.

"Hey, don't go blaming all that on me! That wasn't my fault!"

"Not your fault? Who was the moron who blasted a hole through the door huh?"

"That's cos I had to! You being a sulky imbecile wouldn't open the door like a normal person! And I being the nice caring fabulous person I am, was so determined to end your ever-lasting depression that I heroically broke down the barrier between saving you!"

"Who the hell are you kidding? Heroically broke down? More like permanently damaged!"

"EVERYONE! IT'S SNOWING!!!" Liena calls from outside Yamato's window. "C'mon, it's so pretty!"

Both stare dumfounded at each other then eagerly stare out the window at the tiny flakes of whiteness that slowly drift down from the skies.

They share a look then exclaim in unison, "AWESOME!!!"

"This is just like back where I lived!"

"Whatever. But SNOWBALL FIGHT!"

"Yeah, and guess who'd be the victor Ya-ma-to?"

"Me of course, I'm only the B-da Champion who's held onto his title for more than three years!"

"Beep. Wrong answer! The victor will be none other than Gannos the amazing snowball thrower and maker! Prepare to meet your doom Yamato!"

"You wish! I bet I can beat you outside!"

"Then why are you still inside!" Yamato realises that his window is open and Gannos is now standing outside smirking.

"Hey, that's cheating brat!"

"No it's not, I just happen to have brain. Brain spelt B-R-A-I-N cos your non-existent one might not know what I'm talking about."

"Why you!!" The redhead catapults out of the window like a human cannonball and successfully lands right on top of Gannos, knocking him down with an oomph.

"Oww!! Geez, you probably weigh more than Master Armada!!"

"Now, now Gannos, remember to respect your elders!"

"Elders! You wish! You're only older than me by two measly years! I'm more mentally and physical developed and I'm TALLER!!!"

"Fine, you asked for it! The Yamato-double-ultra-powerful-…TICKLE ATTACK!!"

Yamato pounces on top of him and easily forces the younger into a fit of rather un-manly giggles. And Gannos smiles, maybe they'll never get along, they weren't opposites, they were just far too similar to complement each other.

But for now, arguing was good. And right now, it was all Yamato's fault…for making him so damn happy. He had a feeling this was gonna be a really good month, and it was still 24 more days till Christmas.

So send in your entries cos I hope 2 get 24 more up b4 Chrissy!
