Hello, and welcome to another experimental Danganronpa fic, and I know you readers are wondering why I uploaded another new fic after uploading a recent new one. Well another idea popped into my head a few days ago while watching TV, in which a Christmas-themed movie was shown, and that brought back a lot of memories, and that inspired me to come up with another Christmas-driven fic, in which it is inspired from the 1990 film of the same name, which starred then-child actor Macaulay Culkin.
Yeah, the movie was fun to watch, yet the main theme of that movie also happens in teal life, where burglars strike whenever the owners are out for the holidays, and this made me come up with this fic just in time for the Christmas season.
However, I added a twist here as the favorite siblings will be the main characters here and their sibling bickering would add flavor while at the same time enable them to bond as family at a time when their place is about to get in to peril. I promise you readers will definitely enjoy this, and as a treat to you this holiday season, here is the first chapter.
And last but not the least, this is AU, so the setting here is different yet most of the characters still retain their personalities.
With all said and done, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 1: Prologue
Tokyo Japan. It was December 22, and there you find out that Christmas vacation has commenced, and school ended for the month and several students rejoiced as they look forward to spending their vacation, and some wanting to have fun, such as hitting the arcades, window-shopping at malls, buying gifts, and playing in the snow. High school and university students were excited as they are free from holding the textbooks and ballpen and are looking forward to have a season break, and aside from the usual, they also get to hang out with their friends and lovers, and they could not ask for anything more.
"YAHOO!"
"VACATION TIME!"
"CHRISTMAS BREAK!"
"I'M GONNA GO SHOPPING!"
"I'M GOING OVERSEAS!"
"I'M GONNA HAVE SEX!"
"I'M GONNA MAKE A SNOWMAN!"
"I'M GOING ON A SHOPPING SPREE!"
Aside from the students, adults, such as businessmen and women, housewives and even salarymen, are also busy, buying items to prepare for the holiday season, such as ingredients and food, as well as Christmas trees and gifts, and the Christmas rush is already spreading all over, not only in Tokyo, but all of Japan. Even law enforcers are also riding in on the holiday fever, but some are still doing their jobs such as patrolling the streets and checking the houses to see that the families are properly using the appliances since it is also the season where fire breaks out due to some of the Chistmas lights are faulty due to poor management and some being fake.
The scene shifts at a house in a suburban area, where the scene zoomed inside where you can see that a rather huge family is assembled, they several of the family members appeared to be ordinary, as they ate not extravagant or upper-class or middle-class, they are a simple family who are living a happy life. They are the Naegi family, and despite this the family is rather huge, as there are about 30 of them, including the parents, grandparents, children, including the cousins and nieces and nephews. They are so lively which you can say that they are a happy group of family even though they are so ordinary.
By then, two teenagers are shown to be busy with some things, such as fixing the Christmas lights and arranging the gifts that are placed beside the tree. The two teens, a 15-year old boy and a 13-year old girl, are siblings, and being ordinary, they show the qualities of an ordinary children, as they tend to bicker and argue over something so simple, yet at times they always got along. They are identified as Makoto and Komaru, and right now they are bickering over which spot the gifts should be placed beside the Christmas tree.
"Onii-chan...we should place them here..."
"No, Komaru...they stay where they are..."
"But that place is a better spot..."
"But they will only block the way..."
"No...I assure you that..."
"We should leave them as they are, Komaru...
"But, onii-chan..."
"That is final, Komaru...
By then, their cousins came and join in on the bickering, offering suggestions and some even wanted to open the gifts which Makoto and Komaru advises them against it saying that they cannot open the gifts until December 25, and this caused the cousins to bicker a little loud which would soon echo the entire living room which makes the place as loud as a flea market, and the sounds were quite deafening as the cousins' antics were beginning to spiral out of control.
"YIPEE"
"YEHEY!"
"YIPEE KAY-YEY!
"YEE-HAW!
"CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!
"COME AND GET ME!
"Komaru...help me here!
"My hands are full!"
By then, Makoto and Komaru's dad came and talked to the teens and kids, urging them to simmer down and told them that they cannot open the gifts until December 25, reminding them that they are going on a family trip to Paris, France tomorrow and will return on December 28, and the teens and kids finally settle down, and there Mr. Naegi noticed someone by the door and approached the person, who turn out to be a female, dressed as a police officer.
However, the scene zoomed closer where you can see that the person appeared to be a teenage girl, disguising as a policeman and because she is wearing a police cap, her face was partially hidden, and Mr. Naegi assumes her to be a female police officer and began to accommodate her, and the female, identified as Mukuro Ikusaba, began to inquire by asking him about where will they be going this Christmas, as well as asking about the Christmas lights being in top condition or not, and the Naegi patriarch innocently answered her queries.
"...so you and your family are going to Paris...?
"Yes, officer...a family trip...and this will be our first overseas Christmas trip..."
"Well...are the Christmas lights well-functioned? We receive reports that some of the lights can cause fire due to them being defective..."
"Ah, don't worry...they are in top-notch condition..."
"I see. That's good to hear. So when will you and your family be back?"
"Around December 27..."
"I see...well I will be patrolling the streets in case there are those who would take advantage..."
"Thank you, officer..."
After hearing everything, Ikusaba nodded, and as she is about to leave, Komaru and Makoto were chasing each other around, as she is teasing her elder brother and the two siblings ran around Ikusaba, and Komaru stopped seeing the officer, accidentally getting a full visual of her face and bowed at her before leaving, and Makoto resumed chasing her, which revealed that Komaru took a chocolate bar from her brother and he wanted it back.
"Komaru! Give it back!"
"Sorry, onii-chan...finder's keeper!"
"I got it first!"
"Well I have it now!
"Come back here with my chocolate!
"Come and get it!
"Komaru!
"Ha-ha-ha!"
By then Mrs. Naegi came down from the stairs and called out her two children, and berated them for their antics saying that they were acting disrespectful around the police officer which the two teens apologized, and the Naegi matriarch reminded the two that they cannot fool around all day as they have a plane to catch tomorrow and they have to be up by early morning, and told the two to look after their younger cousins and keep them in line, which the two siblings nodded.
"Yes, mom..."
"Okay..."
"We will do it..."
"Leave them to us."
"We promise."
"You can count on us."
"We are on it."
"Yes, we are."
Makoto and Komaru then went to their younger cousins to keep them in line and make them behave, while Mrs. Naegi apologized to Ikusaba for her children's antics, which Ikusaba said that it is nothing, and told her told her to enjoy their vacation, which Mrs. Naegi smiled, and she told her to wait, and a minute later she gave Ikusaba some Christmas goodies which Ikusaba thanked Mrs. Naegi for the generosity and Mrs. Naegi said it is nothing and greeted her Merry Christmas.
"Here you go, officer."
"Um...thank you."
"Oh, its nothing. That's the least we could give for your effort..."
"I appreciate it."
"Okay, take care."
"Thank you."
"Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas to you as well."
After that, Ikusaba left the house carrying the goodies, and she glanced at the house one more time before leaving, and gave a rather sinister smirk as she left the scene, while the scene zoomed inside where you can see that Makoto and Komaru are having difficulty in containing their younger cousins as they appeared to be hyperactive, and the siblings tried everything to calm them down, with very little success.
"Wait!"
"Stop!"
"Don't run!"
"Onii-chan...catch them!"
"I am!"
"We can't let them run around like this!"
"Tell that to them!"
"Geez...!"
By then the adults decided to intervene and calm the younger children down, and both Makoto and Komaru sighed in relief, as they were so exhausted from keeping their cousins from getting reckless, and they both sat on the couch to get some rest, and they hoped that their cousins would behave once they boarded the airplane and have a safe ride to Paris tomorrow.
-x-
Not far, the scene shifts inside a van where you can see Ikusaba removing the police uniform, and is holding a cellphone talking to someone, and she told the caller that by tomorrow, the Naegi family will be leaving Japan and the house will be empty, and the caller is rather thrilled and is hoping that the Naegi family would leave sooner, while Ikusaba smiled a bit.
"Ah...so that family will be leaving tomorrow, huh?
"Yes..."
"And they will be away for like...four days?"
"Yes...and no one will be left behind..."
"Good. That means we can have that house all to ourselves...and take away the goodies..."
"Glad you are pleased."
"For now. And when that blasted family leaves...then we strike."
"Of course."
The caller is revealed to be Junko Enoshima, and she is pleased with the news she got and she is hoping that things would turn out well in their favor and all she and Ikusaba can do for now is to wait for tomorrow, and once the entire Naegi family leaves, then she and Ikusaba will strike.
To Be Continued... .
Hope you liked the opening chapter, and while there is no action yet apart from containing some hyperactive relatives, this is just the beginning and the upcoming chapters will show the fun and mayhem that would ensue, which the Naegi siblings would get themselves embroiled in.
Also, the villains of this fic have been revealed, and unlike their game and anime counterparts, their portrayal here would be different yet they would still retain their personalities, but be on the lookout on how they would act in this fic...
