What's a Christmas vacation without a kiss?

Christmas vacation.

The long awaited holiday where all the samurais, glasses wearing people, ninjas, aggressive Otae's and kyubei's as well as gorillas and of course also the mayorins enjoy their leisure. But don't forget. There's also the sadists and yatos.

The yorozuya along with their family members were in the mountains. They planned on spending the holidays there. As broke as they always are, luck isn't that cruel. Apparently, kagura won a ticket for a 1 week long vacation in the mountains in one of the best accommodated villas. And of course, there was food.

So basically, Gin-san, Megane, Kagura, Otae and Kyubei wanted to enjoy a beautiful as well as free vacation full of sake and good vibes.

But that wasn't really the case for some of them. Have you ever heard of a Christmas miracle? Well my dear reader, if not, then this story will reveal to you the true power of a Christmas miracle (which comes from the planet miracles which is authorized by some weird-ass amantos on crack)

Day 1; Winter holiday started, and so did my heart beat.

They finally arrived. The yorozuya members along with their family stood in front of the gigantic villa with more than 20 rooms which is surrounded by nothing but big snow dunes and a forest behind it.

"ahhhh" kagura screamed out of joy as she approached the big villa. Running around it and playing with the snow. All gintoki could think of was sake and more sake.

"sugoi kagura-chan. This really is a nice villa. You really are a lucky girl" shinpachi said, his voice full of admiration and joy.

"uhu, of course. The salesman admired my strength so much when he saw me destroy a shop when I lost on my first time drawing the ticket, that he gave me another one and his cheeks were blushing. He totally loved me-aru" kagura proudly stated.

"ano.. kagura-chan, isn't that the same as he was afraid of you and gave you the ticket mistaking you for yakuza.." shinpachi replied with a pale and annoyed face

"leave her be megane." Gintoki said with his foul voice "the new generation attracts elder people by their aura and joyful attitude. You surely wouldn't know"

"what are you teaching her! Are you going to turn a blind eye on her wrong doings! She lives with a criminal. A criminal I say!"

"you wouldn't know of that beautiful aura of youngsters. You're just a plain boy who is worn by glasses. Poor glasses."

he grinned and showed his troll face while kagura slowly went along with him.

"uhu, gin-san, megane wouldn't know-aru" and went off laughing.

A vein popped on megane's, I mean shinpachi's, forehead. All he could do was sigh.

They entered the villa.

It was beautiful. They all went a little bit pale by seeing that beautiful house and felt a sense of guilt. As if they hijacked the villa. Everyone except for kagura and gin-san, of course.

They were all so excited and decided to look at everything. And with everything, I mean no closet or room stays unopened. And as they all went along opening closets and rooms, some discovered something rather, well, unpleasant.

Otae discovered a naked gorilla who was lying across the floor of the room otae wanted to sleep in.

Kyubei found a blushing toujou inside a closet holding up a dress and a sign saying "you would look beautiful."

And gintoki, well what do you think? The purpled haired ninja was (as usual) highly aroused and in a masochist pose, waiting for gin-san to, well you know what she wants.

That wasn't something new for them. And it wasn't something new for the stalkers when they were sent flying out of the door, window and got crap flying at them (long live monkeys).

"ahhh otea-san, don't be so ruff. I came here to protect you" kondo-san humbly stated which didn't move otae's heart one bit for she punched him like she always did. "Oh my, kondo-san, my hand slipped". Sweet otae.

Sa-chan and toujou's motives were clear so they didn't have to explain themselves, and gin-san as well as kyubei couldn't do anything against it. Now it was Yorozuya + Otae & Kyubei + 3 stalkers.

Evening.

Half of their first day was already up and they spent it like they normally do. (when I say normal, I mean, gintama's standards of normal). Nothing interesting happened until the evening.

As the sun slowly started to set, the snow slowly started to rise. The weather became colder and they could all predict what would happen next. A snow storm. They gathered in the big living room and watched as the wind spiraled the snow.

"ahh man, I was looking forward to building a snow man at night-aru" kagura disappointedly said.

"Kagura-chan, don't be sad! This trip is supposed to be fun" the uninvited gorilla said. "Instead, let me tell you guys a scary story. Once upon a time, there were a couple of college students in the mountains. Just like us, they resided in a big villa when suddenly a snow storm broke out. They started hearing weird noises all around the house. Sometimes it was knocking, sometimes it was a crack, sometimes it was a door or a window forcefully being opened and closed…" kondo-san said while holding a flashlight to his gorilla face. Gin-san was already turning pale. "all of a sudden, the electricity went off. And that's when it happened…"

"what happened! What? Of course it came back right?" gin-san interrupted the gorilla, seeing where all of this was going to end (from past experiences of course. Mini moral: if you hear a scary story with the same setting and plot as yours, prepare yourself.)

"oh no my friend. What happened was that all of a sudden the bell rang" he replied with a low voice. Everyone was scared to go open it but one of the comrades thought all of this was absurd and fiercely went and opened the door… there was nobody there. 'see, I told you nobody was there. You guys are scared for a reason that does not exist. This house is old, so the noises come from here. And the bell was most probably moved by the wind he continued saying while walking back to the living room. They sat down relived but one student was still as scared and jumpy as ever. He then said 'if all of this was the house, and if the wind is the reason for the ringing bell, then, what is that behind you?' and at the same time the light came back on. Behind him was –"

"an ugly gorilla stalker?" otae proposed hurting the gorillas, I mean kondo-sans feelings.

"iie otae-san, it must be naruto" kyubei answered

"chotto matte mina-san! That's not it. What was behind the student was –"

"AHHH we don't need to know!" the sweat-covered gintoki proposed. He really didn't have to know.

Before anyone else was able to say something, they heard a noise coming from the other room. A clash and then silence and then once again a clash.

Goosebumps ran through their backs and their skin turned pale almost instantly.

"don't worry guys.. its only our imagination" gin-san said, believing his words less than anyone else.

Another sound. This time from the stairs right in front of the living room.

"we're gonna be eaten alive gin-chan! Tasukete!" the china girl screamed and threw herself into gin-sans lap.

"oi, kagura, when the time comes, I will run, you will just be a burden, get off me!" they both fought. One wants to stay and the other wants to escape. Before gintoki could free himself from kagura's head-bite, the electricity went off.

Silence, followed by screams. The yorozuya, the two girls and the stalkers were in panic. They still didn't know what was behind the student. And they surely didn't want to experience it. As dumb as they are, they all ran to the door with one common goal: getting out.

But before anyone was able to open the door, the bell rang.

Ding Dong.

They were almost able to feel it. The dark aura which surrounded the door. And what happened after? Well what happens when these people are together facing a dangerous situation?

They help each other of course… not.

And the fight began. They all started pushing one another towards the door debating who would open it and who would stay behind. Skills were shown. Even the pale gintoki was fighting for survival and the quiet and useless megane was not one step behind.

Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong

Whoever it was ringing that bell, was becoming impatient.

"oi, mina… someone open.. don't make this thing mad.." gintoki said with a shaky voice.

"oi gorilla ! you do it! You brought us into this!-aru" kagura screamed.

"meee ? noo!"

"im so scared. I need a hero" otae said acting all sweet.

"hero?" just the thought of it made kondo-san blush. And an instant later, he was opening the door.

Nobody was there.

"maybe it really is only our imagination…" shinpachi concluded.

"Then, then… w-what, is that behind kagura and gin-san?" sa-chan fearfully said.

Kagura and gintoki froze. The electricity came.

"Now, who is behind you?" two voices said that everyone else all too well knew.

A mayo freak and a sadist. But just knowing them was not enough to calm the nerves of the yato girl and the guy with the naturally curly hair. Before they all knew it, they both collapsed. Gintoki onto the floor and Kagura..

Was caught by someone extremely suspicious. The sadist.

"I can't let a lady fall to the floor, now can I?" okita sadistically said with his to well to known smirk.

"sadist" kagura whispered before she lost consciousness with okita's crimson red eyes being the last image burned in her mind and his hands which held her so dearly for the first time as the last touch she remembered.

Kagura woke up. She was in her bedroom upstairs and the room was dark. The snow-storm already settled down and she could hear people's laughter from downstairs. Gintoki's included.

She tried to remember what happened to her and slowly the images came.

Her heart skipped a beat. Red crimson eyes and gentle hands holding her.

She blushed.

"ma, ma China, what are you blushing for? Had some dirty dreams?" the door slowly opened and revealed the figure with the sarcastic voice. It was the sadist.

"Sadist!" kagura screamed and an instant later she was in front of okita trying to kick him. He dodged it perfectly.

"Seems like your fighting skills faded away.. just like your consciousness two hours ago" he smiled sadistically.

"Two hours ago? Why did I sleep so long?" kagura thought. Usually its gintoki who'd lose consciousness for so long but not her.

"Now, won't you thank me for catching you? I felt most horrible seeing you collapse to the floor. A helpless stupid girl"

A vein popped on kaguras forehead and her aura turned red. She wanted him dead. And so the fight began. Kicking and punching didn't help for the sadist dodged them all perfectly as well as he returned them.

"Why would I thank you KONOYARO! It was your fault SADIST!" She screamed and aimed at his face but once again he was able to hold her arm and so dodge it. She jumped back. She didn't feel like dealing with this idiot. First he scares her, then for some reason she gets affectionate at his eyes and touch and now she couldn't fight him.

"oi, whats wrong china?" okita wondered. Usually she wouldn't stop until she hit him at least once but this time she stopped right away.

"I just don't feel like dealing with you –aru" kagura replied trying to show carelessness which didn't really convince the crimson eyed officer.

He smiled. "Could it be that you've fallen for me?" he revealed his sadistic side once again.

Doki doki.

Kagura blushed and immediately kicked him. "who would fall for such a disgusting bastard!"

"ehh..? why am I blushing?" she thought but her thoughts were interrupted for she actually aimed and hit the sadist.

This time okita didn't dodge it. On purpose.

Kagura felt proud and looked at how okita held his hand in front of his stomach. His smile didn't fade but something did. In kagura at least. Her interest to fight him. She then left the room and headed downstairs, joining everyone else. She wasn't able to build a snow man, but she was able to join everyone in the banquet and watch as everyone enjoyed themselves. "natsukashii" (nostalgic) she thought and remembered the hanami event (JUMP Fiesta). Gin-chan and Mayo-freak having a sake competition, Shinpachi and Otae along with Kyubei talking about random things and the stalkers, well you know, admiring their target. She didn't notice Yamazaki was also there who flung his badminton racket right beside the window as he dreamt of a future as a badminton pro. And well seconds later the sadist joined in, and once again kagura and okita held a strength competition.

They all stayed up late until most of them fell asleep on the floor drunk, passed out on exhaustion or just retired to their rooms including: shinpachi, kyubei, otae, yamazaki, kagura and okita.

"oyasumi mina-san! Mata ashita-ne –aru!" the sleepy kagura said cheerfully

They all returned their goodnight wishes, including the sadist which eventually led to a stare-battle which was broken up by shinpachi, and so, everyone closed their bedroom doors.

"That bastard. He's been annoying me all day. I can't wait to pay it back to him -aru" kagura thought determinately, and so slowly fell asleep as she thought of his eyes and that gentle touch she's never felt before.

Doki doki.
