A Very Different Christmas Carol
The snow was falling pretty heavily as I walked with a purpose towards my estate. I hated Christmas, it was cold, wet, and it reminded me of things that would be best left forgotten. I kept my head down, trying to avoid the snowflakes. Carolers sang as I marched by, but nothing could keep me from giving them a quick glare that made them pause a moment. Snickering I continued on my way. I wasn't a mean person at heart but really? Couldn't they have sang somewhere else on their own time? I wondered why I didn't take the damn car, it would have saved me all the bitter feelings that came out when I was reminded of Christmas. Stupid Holiday.
"Sir, a penny for the poor?" I looked down to see a little boy no taller than my waist holding a cup and smiling at me.
"You have a cup, go sell that and get a penny." The boy looked down confused and looked back up at me.
"But sir, I use this cup! And my mum would be upset if I didn't bring it home…" I rolled my eyes.
"If you have a home, you obviously don't need me to give you a penny." The boy widened his eyes and looked away dejectedly. He walked to the wall and sat down. Damn, that boy reminded me of someone I didn't want to remember, and he had her eyes. Do all commoners have to look the same?!
"Here's some damn money, you shouldn't even be out here anyway." I stuffed a five dollar bill into his cup and continued on my way. Why were commoners so needy anyway? I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed. See I really wasn't a mean guy, just an irritable one.
"Thank you sir!!" I heard him cry out, before I turned the corner. Commoners…sigh.
I marched up to my door and went to turn it, but as soon as my hand touched the door knob I was shocked. It didn't hurt but it was enough to startle me. I stared intently at it for a moment and decided to use the door knocker instead. I lifted my eyes to it and I saw a face. In fact it looked a hell of a lot like one of my old friends from high school. I watched as he smiled and opened his mouth, letting out a terribly loud giggle, making me stumble off the porch and into the snow below. He closed his mouth, smiled, winked, and left without another trace.
Now for a moment I felt as if I was truly loosing my mind. There was no way that the door knocker turned into Tamaki Suoh. I rubbed my eyes and stood up shakily brushing the snow off of myself. I carefully walked back to my door and kicked it. It opened to reveal a very startled butler.
"Mr. Hitachiin?" I pushed myself inside catching my breath and sinking to my knees. That scared the shit out of me, and I had seen the Christmas carol at least once. Scrooge was truly crazy if he remained calm after that.
"I'm fine, I would just like to eat my supper and go straight to bed, I've had an…eventful day." The servant bowed and hurried off to put my coat away. I shook my head and sighed. It was just a figment of my imagination, because it isn't possible that Tamaki Suoh turned into my door knob, there was no way. Was there?
I ate my dinner in a rush and practically ran to my room, it was times like these that I wished for the comfort of my twin brother. I could feel the tears start to prickle at my eyes and I quickly shook them away. This day had been such a disaster and waste of time. No increase of money was earned and my creative mind had shut off since… never mind. Best not to think about things that should be forgotten.
Quickly, I changed into some pajamas and crawled underneath my bed covers, ready for the night ahead of me. All I wanted was sleep, and be able to forget about tomorrow, and go on with my life. BAH HUM BUG, as Scrooge would put it.
All of a sudden I heard someone rapping on the window pane. I looked up and saw nothing but the knocking continued until It got unceremoniously faster and louder. As the knocking continued laughing soon joined it and was in an irritating voice that I had long since heard.
"Hikaru-kun! Hikaru! Wake up, wake up! It's me, your all mighty ruler! I am here to talk to you!! You must listen to me…how do I…oh…Yes, I understand!!" I pulled the covers over my head refusing to look anywhere near where the voice was coming from.
"There is no way in the seven layers of hell that you are here! I am just having a horrible nightmare! Go Away!" I shouted, but I could not shake the feeling that Boss was standing next to my bed.
"How dare you call me a nightmare! After I was so generous in coming here to warn you." I peeked my head out of my covers and saw him pouting in the corner like he used to, but he was translucent and out of place in the dark room.
"Boss? H-how are y-you here? And why?" I swallowed my fear and gazed upon the ghostly figure of Tamaki Suoh. He looked back towards me and smiled sadly, gliding over to the side of my bed. I sat up straight as he watched me.
"Hikaru, I am not here because I am sinned, I am here because I am trying to save you from yourself. You need to know that you will be visited by three ghosts, no more, no less. And the first one will be here at the stroke of twelve."
"Okay Boss, I don't believe in any of this, but lets say for old times sake that I do, why are you the one who is here to warn me?" Even though I was dreaming, or believed myself to be, which is a lot easier on my brain. I was a tad disappointed that Kaoru hadn't shown up, even though it would have killed me to see him as a ghost, it would have made this dream a bit more, well, I don't know. He smiled softly and put a ghostly hand on my shoulder which chilled me to the bone.
"Because Hikaru, just because I lost the girl I loved, doesn't mean you have to. You weren't meant to grow into this bitter man." As the clock struck eleven he looked up towards the ceiling and then back down at me. "It is my time to leave you Hikaru, but remember your first…well technically second, but it's the first according to them, comes at the stroke of twelve. You must learn, and save yourself ….." he said as he faded out. It was like a really cheezy movie, but since the moment he left, I had an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach, and it was growing.
