A Very Sereitei Christmas

By Jean Thine

A/N: before I begin, I just want to say that I know that Christmas isn't actually a japanese festival. I'm appealing to an english speaking audience here and both them and I have no idea of how the japanese celebrate their holidays. So here I am making a christmas fic that's going to be nothing but western traditions. Sorry!!!


The captains, the immovable pillars of strength that supported the Gotei thirteen. The unstoppable force that would undyingly defend Soul Society. The ten men and women who stood for what is right and just in the world. Thank god the people who believe this couldn't see them now.

Yamamoto Shigekuni Genryuusai, decking the halls in the only way he knew how, through wearing a slightly sad deflated Santa Claus hat. The rest of the captains wore either reindeer antlers or santa hats. Kuchiki Byakuya had a few shards of bone china in his hair and a new twitch in his right eye, where the kenseikan had been somewhat forcefully removed.

Yamamoto, old though he must be, was definitely starting to lose it. The Valentines incident was just the beginning, now the old man wanted a Shinigami Christmas? What about the name 'god of death' should connect to a festival of being peaceful towards ones enemies? Whether or not the commander was losing it, more than a few of the characters were apprehensive about just what the hell was going to happen come December 24th and 25th.

Similar deal to the last holiday he pulled on them. Two days. They had forty eight hours to sing carols and open presents and play an frolic, then back to work. As if it never happened. As if it was that simple.

ENJOY!!!


A/N: Okay, this time I want FEEDBACK PEOPLE. I like hearing people tell me they love my story, but what I love even more is when some one provides me with useful feedback that I can apply to my writing. So here's a deal for you: I get five reviews and I make another chapter, these are just everyday kinda "wow, loved it" reviews, however, I get a single good review, that's comments on grammar, format and story line and I'll make another one. Five average or one of the best, it's up to you. Oh and the first two chapters are freebees.

Lotsa love,

Jean Thine
