For legal reasons: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin or any of the characters from the show.

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Kamiya Dojo nothing was stirring not even a mouse. (I know it doesn't rhyme but bare with me please) The Stockings were…

"Where are the stockings?"

"We don't have stockings." Kenshin Replied.

"Well what are we suppose to hang by the chimney?" I asked getting a bit annoyed.

"We could always hang a freeloader on the wall would that work?" Kaoru joined in.

"All right we'll do that."

Sanosuke was hung on the wall with great care…

"WHAT!"

"Shut up Sano, as I was saying."

In hopes that St. Nicholas would so be there. Yahiko was nestled all snug in his bed with visions of Tsubame dancing in his head.

"I DO NOT DREAM ABOUT TSUBAME!" said a red faced Yahiko.

"Now now, just go back to bed and dream of your girl friend little Yahiko." I teased.

Karou in her Kimono and Kenshin in his gi had just settled down for a long winters nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter Kenshin sprang from bed to see what was the matter. And what did his wondering eyes did see but a carriage being drawn by some guys. With his bandages so white and thick Kenshin knew in a moment it must be Shishio.

"What happened to Santa?" Kenshin asked.

"Santa was weak so I killed him and took his place. Only the strong should deliver toys to people." Was his reply as I smacked my face knowing he had ruined my story.

Now Yumi, now Kamitari, now Fuji, now Chou, now Hoji and Soujiro and all the rest of you in to the dojo to kill them all.

"Why did we have to drag the carriage all by our selves when we could have had horses or something?" Asked Usui

Soujiro wearing a red nose "Hi Himura, look I'm Rudolph." He happily stated.

"Why must I write this junk" As I slap my face in embarrassment again.

"Can we have some food or water he just made us drag this for several miles" Usui begged.

"I think we should just give them their gifts and leave, Usui is depressing me and Soujiro is freaking me out."

"Alright Yumi." And Shishio started to get gifts from his bag.

For Yahiko a new bamboo sword, for Kenshin a new Gi. For Karou a cook book.

"Why do I get a cook book?" She said looking mad.

"Because your food sucks." Sano replied before Kaurou unleashed her wrath upon him.

"Now we have to go, we're wrapping Soujiro up in a bow and given him to his fangirls." Shisho said.

"I bet that will make some of my readers very happy. I'll help you." And we were off.

"Is this the end of the story." Kenshin wondered out loud.

"Ya, I don't know what else to write about so we shall make our leave.

And so Shisho exclaimed as his men took him from sight "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night… I'll see you all in Hell HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA."

"That was a bit too creepy."

A.N. This fic just came to me and I thought it would be a nice story for the holiday season. I wish everyone has happy holidays.
