THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS BY GIN AND RANGIKU
Rangiku tries to read a Christmas story, but Gin keeps injecting his own version.
Rangiku sat and looked at everyone gathered for the annual Seireitei Christmas Party. Gin, who had been drafted into helping her organize the event gave the woman a baleful look when she asked, "Who's ready for a Christmas story?"
"Kami Ran, not that tired old story again!" he groaned.
"Shut up Gin and just help me tell it! she frowned.
"Okay, fine.} he sighed, but there was a glint of mischief in his slitted eyes.
"Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house..." she began.
"How come it's always a house?" Gin interrupted, "Why not an apartment? But then I guess he couldn't come down the chimney could he. They'd have to buzz him in.' He gave her a sly grin, "Hello, Santa and I have a delivery."
"Gin, be quiet!" Rangiku said in a low disgusted voice.
"Okay, I'm sorry. Go on." he snickered, but the glint did not vanish and his smile grew wider.
"Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."
"You're in an apartment sweetie, that's a rat."
She gave him a glare and continued, "He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot."
"Hmm a guy falls down, dresses in a gay outfit, and has a red face? No wonder he's jolly! He's drunk off his ass! Really Ran this is a horrible story! Lets fast forward to where Santa gets busted for breaking and entering." he teased.
"Are you quite finished?" she growled. Gin gestured for her to continue, shoulders shaking in surpressed laughter, but couldn't stop now that he had her really riled.
"You have a strange guy show up at your house, red faced, covered in soot and you let him in because he says he has something for the children!" he choaked,around a fit of giggles. "And he's a fat guy that eats cookies everywhere! I can't wait for part two. The night before christmas,Santa's on dialysis and he's missing a leg. Maybe you should leave a plate of insulin!"
Ignoring her friend she continued, "He sprang to his sleigh and to his team gave a whistle..."
"Let's get out of here quick, there's a cop with a pistol." Gin shot out.
"Can I finish the story?" she snarled, annoyed and ready to throttle him.
"Oh please do!" he returned in a snide tone.
"I heard him exclaim as he drove out of site... "
"Merry Christmas to all oh crap I ran over your bike!" Gin finished as the assembled guests roared with laughter. He ducked quickly as Rangiku swung the book at him. "Great story Ran." Gin planted a quick kiss on her cheek before using shunpo to make a stratigic exit before she managed to clock him in the head
