A very Mankin Christmas
Disclaimer: I do not own Shaman King. If that was my Christmas present then I would be super happy. Especially if I had Ryu-san !! But I do own Minako, Cassandra and Mickey and their sprirts.They're my fan characters. Also I don't own any of the Christmas songs either!!
Me (the authoress): Yeah, Yeah.I know. I should be working Fan-Girl problems, but I had this idea popped in my head because I am in a Christmas mood and I just wanted to do this story. I also thought that I haven't written a holiday story yet, so here it!!
Chapter 1: Deck the onsen and the tree!!Fa La La La!!
December 10th
It was December 10th and it was all quiet at the onsen. Except the loud screaming that was heard from inside, but aside from that it was quiet.
"Yoh!! Help me with these lights!" yelled Anna.
"Coming Anna!!" cried Yoh.
They were stringing lights on the stairs and so far it hasn't gone as well. The lights were all tangled up and so was Anna. The others were having a much better time. Manta and Chocolove were hanging the stockings up and of course Chocolove was making jokes as they went.Jun and Bailong, who were spending the Christmas at the onsen with Ren, were busy taking down the rest of the decorations from the attic. Pillika and Tammy were sipping hot chocolate after cooking up dinner and Faust and Eliza were stringing up popcorn chains and were ready for the tree. The tree was the only thing left to set-up.
"What's taking them so long"? wonder Pillika "They left two hours ago."
The 'tree getters' were Ryu.Minako, Mickey, Cassandra, Horo-Horo, Ren, and Lyserg.
"I hope they get here soon," Tammy said.
"They better!!" yelled the still tangle Anna. Now Yoh, Manta and Chocolove were trying to get her out.
Meanwhile…
"How's this one Ryu-san?" asked our familiar cutie shamanic-witch.
"It's fine Mina-Chan. But this one's got more branches," said Ryu.
Minako looked at the tree Ryu pointed to. It certainly did have a lot more branches than the one she picked out. It was even bigger.
"Cassandra what do you think?" asked Minako
Cassandra was sipping hot milk with Ren.Her cat ears perked up when she head her name being called.
"Hm? Oh it's super!!" exclaimed Cassandra. "What do you think Mickey?"
Mickey was also sitting by Ren and Cassandra but she was next to Horo-Horo.Her dog ears perked up.
"Arf? Oh that's great let's buy it!!" exclaimed Mickey.
"Ok then. The girls have decided that they want this tree. What do you guys think?" asked Ryu.
The boys looked up at him
"It's great," said Lyserg.
"I like it," said Horo-Horo.
"Whatever. I don't care that much," said Ren.
"Then it's settle. We're getting this tree," Ryu said.
After paying for it and walking down the street a little, Minako teleported the tree and themselves back to the onsen.
"We're back!!" cried Minako.She open the door wide enough so the boys could get the tree in.
"What took so damn long!?" screamed a very annoyed Anna.
"Sorry Anna. We were on our way to the tree lot when Horo-Horo got hungry and then we realized that we were all hungry so we went to eat and then got this beautiful tree. See?" Minako said sweetly.
The boys had managed to get the tree through and were now settling it into the tree holder. It looked very grand and was maybe the most beautiful tree in the world.
"Ok now!! Let's decorate that tree!!"Cried Mickey.
"Yeah!!" cried everyone else.
"Wait!!" cried Tammy.
Everyone just looked at her funny.
"We have dinner," she said.
"Okay then. Dinner then we decorate that tree!!"Cried Mickey once more.
"Okay!!" cried everyone else.
45 minutes later…
"Thank you. I'm full!!" cried everyone.
"You're welcome. Now let's decorate that tree," said Tammy.
"Yea!!" said everyone.
It certainly was easy getting that tree decorated with everyone helping.Minako used her magic to put those annoying hooks on all the ornaments that the onsen had (You know what I'm talking about. Those metal hooks that hook into the ornaments and they are so annoying because as soon as you open the package of them they're all tangle up and it takes to long to put up!!).Minako also used it to wrap the lights around the tree and the popcorn garland that Faust and Eliza had made eailer. Mickey had to make sure Horo-Horo wasn't eating any of the popcorn. It wasn't easy.
"Horo-Horo!! Quit eating that popcorn! We just had dinner," said Mickey.
"But I'm still hungry!!" whined Horo-Horo.
"At least have one my cookies that I baked this morning," Cassandra urged.
"Yea, they're delicious!!" agreed everyone.
"Fine," said Horo-Horo.He grabbed a gingerbread man and starting chewing. Then he grabbed another and another in till he had at least 10 in his hands.
"They are delicious!!" exclaimed Horo-Horo.Everyone just gapped at him.
"Looks like I'll be baking more," said Cassandra calmly.
The rest of the tree decorating went smoothly, except that Chocolove hid in a box and scared the crap out of Minako and Ryu when they opened it, and then Ryu hit him on the head really hard. Also Manta, Horo-Horo, and Yoh thought it would be funny to dress up Ren and Bailong in left over Christmas decorations.Jun was actually thrilled to see her favorite guys in Christmas décor.
"I'm gonna kill all of you!!"screamed a vengeful Ren.He then started chasing everyone with his pointed hair. Then Cassandra came in from the kitchen with a new batch of cookies freshly made and saw him.
"Oh Ren-kun!! You look so cute!!" exclaimed Cassandra. "I like it!"
Just as he was about poke Yoh in the side, He stopped and blushed crimson.
"We're saved and Cassandra made cookies!!YAY!!" screamed Yoh, Manta, and Horo-Horo.
Just then Lyserg turned on the stereo and popped in a Christmas CD.It started playing 'White Christmas' and Ryu got an idea.
"Would you liked to dance Mina-chan?" he asked sweetly.Minako was surprised by this.
"Um, yea.Yes that would be nice,"Minako replied sweetly and blushing a little.
They started dancing and Faust caught on and asked Eliza to dance. Both couples were dancing beautifully while the others watch. When the song ended, Eliza and Minako curtsied gracefully and Ryu and Faust bowed. They had standing motivations from the onlookers. Finally the tree was done and glitter beautifully in the light.
"Yea!!We're done!!," cried Minako, Cassandra, and Mickey.
"It's beautiful," said Faust while standing next to Eliza and holding Manta.
"What time is it?" said Pillika.Manta looked at the clocked.
"WHAT!? its 10:30!!" cried Manta.
"What?!" cried Minako, Cassandra, and Mickey.
"We missed the train," said Minako.
"We can't go home," said Cassandra.
"And I can't teleport back home because I used most of magic. I'm almost Mini-Minako now," said Minako.She they got an idea.
"Anna-chan," said Cassandra, Minako, and Mickey.
"Oh no," said Anna.
"Could we please stay here for the night? Actually could we stay here the whole month? asked the trio sweetly.
"The whole month?" gasped everyone.
"WHY? Don't you have to go to school? Don't you already have a house?" asked Anna.
"No, we're out of school already. We get out earlier than the other schools in the area," said Cassandra.
"Yea, we have a house. It's not that we got evicted or didn't pay our rent it's just well..," Mickey started and stopped thinking of what to think up next.
"We're going to be coming here everyday since everyone else is here and since it takes a while to get here by the train, and the weather getting bad and we can't fly our broomsticks and it takes a lot of my magic to teleport," added Minako.
"So can we please stay, Anna-chan? PPLLEEAASSSEE?" asked the trio. They did the puppy dog face to seal the deal. It made all the boys blush except Bailong and Faust.
"They have great reasons, Anna," said Yoh.
"But we don't have enough room," said Anna.Yoh thought about that a while.
"I know we can draw straws!!" exclaimed Yoh.
"Huh?" said everyone.
"You see, there's not enough room in the onsen, so we draw straws to see who has to share a room with these three," he said calmly.
"Sounds fair,"said Anna.
"Okay now. We'll divide these straws to everyone except these three girls. There will be three straws that will repersent them. They will be color straws.
PinkMinako
YellowCassandra
BlueMickey
Remember ,you can't change straws or once you get them a color one you're stuck with her for the rest of the month.Ok now let's begin," said Yoh.He grabbed all the straws and mixed them up and gave them to Minako to hold since he had to draw a straw too. All of them grabbed one and started to look at them to see if they had to share a room with the trio.Pillika had got Cassandra, Tammy had Mickey, and Ryu had Minako.As soon Minako saw that Ryu had the straw that represent a room at the onsen,she turned a crimson. red.Ryu also blushed a little.
"Well that's a perdictment.Anyway, Good night everyone," said Yoh.
"Um maybe I could teleport with Cassandra and Mickey!" exclaimed Minako still red.They all grabbed their coats and went out to see I that Minako could teleport even with her low power.She grabbed Cassandra and Mickey's hand,and said "Teleport us back to our home!!" Minako exclaimed. With those words, they were gone in a flash, but then the Mankin gang heard a super loud splash come form the hot springs. They all ran to see what it was, was shocked to see that the trio didn't make it that far.Minako had just changed into Mini-Minako and there were very crossed Cassandra and Mickey sitting in the onsen with Minako.
45 minutes later….
After the trios clothes were dry, Anna had given them the onsen official yukata to sleep in till Minako could teleport their clothes to the onsen.Everyone was sleeping but Minako was still up because she couldn't sleep.
'I can't believe I'm sleeping next to Ryu-san,' she thought to herself. She finally agreed to sleep in the same room as Ryu and of course she had her own futon and blanket. She sighed. But it was sort of nice to sleep next to her true love.
"Can't sleep?"
Ryu was looking at her to see if he could make her go to sleep.
"Oh, I'm fine. It's just takes me awhile to get used to sleeping in a new place,"Minako said.
"Well, don't worry. If you do go to sleep and have a nightmare, I'll comfort you," he said smiling.Minako blushed harder.
"Well, goodnight Mina-Chan," he said sweetly like always and kissed her on her forehead.
"Goodnight, Ryu-san,"said Minako and fell in a deep sleep and as snow started to fall on the sleepy city of Funbari Hill.
