Before this starts, I'm just going to say that Amaimon DOES NOT have Behemoth yet. Repeating, DOES NOT HAVE BEHEMOTH YET!

That is all :3

It was a cold winter day in True Cross Academy. It was December 24th, and the cram school students (also the regular students) were excited!

"Why are we even at school? We should be on break! I mean... It's Christmas Eve! We should be preparing for Christmas tomorrow! Not stuck in school learning about defeating demons!" Rin complained as he leaned back in his chair. Bon 'tched' and ganged up on Rin.

"Look here you slacker, we should be in cram school learning this so we can be the best exorcists! We will never get past exwire if we don't attend school. However... I do agree that we should get out early." Bon said.

Yukio sighed and turned away from the board. "Suguro-kun, please take your seat. Rin, stop complaining." He simply said then turned back to writing on the board. Bon sighed and sat back in his seat next to Konekomaru and Shima. Rin stared at Yukio defiantly.

"'Ey spotty four eyes, why don't we get out early? It IS Christmas Eve.." Rin asked.

Yukio stopped writing and turned to face the class. "We do as a matter of fact get out five hours earlier than we usually would. So, instead of 7 hours of school we get 2 hours. Sir Pheles has considered the fact that you guys do need to prepare for Christmas and decided to give you guys a lot less time in school. Tomorrow will be closed. Better, Nii-san?" Yukio then turned to his older brother.

Rin looked a LOT happier and high-fived Shiemi, who also laughed. Yukio smiled slightly and looked to the clock in the room. "In fact, it's time to get out right about..." Then the bell rang. "Now." Rin zoomed out of the room while Shiemi laughed. Bon, Shima, and Konekomaru grabbed their stuff and walked out calmly with Paku and Izumo following. Shiemi stayed behind.

"Shiemi? Is there something you need?" Yukio asked. Shiemi looked to him and smiled.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just need help finding a Christmas present for Rin." She said quietly and blushed. Yukio smiled and finished packing his stuff.

"Come on, we'll go to the True Cross store and find something interesting for him." Yukio said and motioned for her to leave first.

Shiemi stood up and walked over shyly. "Thanks... Yuki-chan." She mumbled before walking down the corridors. Yukio just watched her, a large smile on his face before following her.

Shiemi was so cute!

Rin walked out of the cram school and breathed in the crisp, cold air. Finally... He was out of that congested classroom. Now, Christmas shopping time! He had to get Shiemi a gift, Bon and his crew a gift, his brother a gift... He already had Izumo and Paku a gift, but that wasn't important.

First off, Shiemi. What would she like...? Plants? Some jewelry? Some kind of girly thing? Rin sighed and started to walk towards True Cross town. This is going to be difficult.

Very difficult indeed.

Meanwhile, Amaimon was watching Mephisto move around his office. "Aniue... What are you doing?" The Earth king asked. Mephisto smirked as he finished putting up some lights.

"Christmas lights Amaimon! Tomorrow is Christmas and it is time to get into holiday spirit!" Mephisto explained in excitement. Christmas was his second favorite holiday (aside from Halloween) so he had to put up lights and a tree! It was a necessity!

"I've heard a lot of human talk about Christmas.. What exactly is Christmas?" Amaimon asked curiously and popped a lollipop into his mouth.

Mephisto gaped at this question. "Amaimon.. You have known me for a very long time... How do you not know what Christmas is?!" Mephisto exclaimed and got into Amaimon's face. Amaimon backed up a little and blinked.

"I... I don't know Aniue.." Amaimon said slowly. Mephisto smirked and prepared for his speech about Christmas.

"Christmas is a holiday that celebrates Jesus's birthday. You give people gifts, eat junk food and candy all day, put up lights and decorate trees with ornaments and lights... How have you not known about this Amaimon?!" Mephisto said with excitement.

"Jesus's birthday? Isn't that an offense towards us in a way." Amaimon asked. Mephisto thought about it and shrugged.

"Yeah I guess. But presents Amaimon. SWEETS Amaimon." Mephisto said and smirked wider as Amaimon's eyes got slightly hazy. Sweets were definitely Amaimon's weak spot.

"Lollipops, Aniue? Presents?" Mephisto nodded eagerly.

"See little brother? Forget about the fact that it's his birthday, you have a bunch of fun on Christmas! Now, help me put up some ornaments on the tree." With that said, Amaimon helped Mephisto put up the ornaments and lights around his office.

By the end of the day, everybody had presents wrapped and finished putting up decorations for the holiday. Everyone in True Cross Academy was asleep and waiting eagerly for the next day.

Hopefully nothing would go wrong on the special day.

Rin woke up at 5 in the morning, unable to fall back asleep. He eventually sighed and got up groggily. Kuro sensed the sudden movement and sleepily opened his eyes too. Kuro yawned loudly and saw Rin leave the room. He followed the half demon, curious as to where he was going.

Rin finally finished his climbing to the rooftop and sat there, staring at the moon that was getting ready to set. Kuro silently walked over next to Rin and sat down.

"What are you doing up this early Rin?" Kuro asked. Rin sighed and smiled softly, still staring at the moon.

"I couldn't sleep. I'm WAY too excited. This will be the first Christmas I've spent with friends. All my life I've only spent Christmas with the old man and Yukio. It'll be nice to spend it with all of the friends I've made ever since joining the cram school." Rin answered. Kuro blinked at him a couple times before watching the sunrise.

"If Shiro were still alive... Would you spend it with him or with your friends?" Kuro asked once again. Rin slowly started to frown in thought.

"I think I would be with the old man half the day then my friends the other half. Why?"

Kuro continued to watch the sunrise, a feeling of grief filling up his heart. "No reason. Just curious." Both of them continued to watch the sun rise until Rin sat up.

"Well! Time to go and wake up Yukio so we can start Christmas!" Rin said, fist pumping the air. Kuro sat up and pushed away the grief. No point in crying and being sad about something that happened long ago.

After all, it's Christmas! It's a time to be happy and grateful!

Yukio groaned irritably as he felt Rin shaking him. What time is it? Very early apparently. "Nii-san... Why are you waking me up so early? I only get a few days off." Yukio said with venom in his voice.

Rin had a wide smile on his face. "It's Christmas Yukio! Wake up already!" He said with excitement. Yukio sighed and slowly sat up, his hair wild.

"You couldn't have waited until 8? That would have been better than 7 Nii-san." Yukio said and slid his legs over the side of the bed. Rin let his tail wave back and forth and continued to smile brightly.

"Get over it four-eyes! Get your lazy ass outta bed and lets go open presents!" Rin then sped out of the dorm, leaving a ruffled and aggravated Yukio. Yukio sighed then put on his glasses and left the room also, Kuro following.

Rin laughed as he saw all of the presents that was set out under the tree (Since there was no room in their dorm and no one lives there, they just put up a tree in the kitchen). Ukobach was already there, mixing up something in a bowl.

"What'cha making Ukobach?" Rin asked. Ukobach just smiled and motioned for him to look inside the bowl. Rin looked over and tilted his head in confusion.

"Eggs? Are you making breakfast then?" Rin asked. Ukobach nodded and continued to whisk up the eggs. Rin pouted at the fact that the familiar didn't wait for him, but decided to let him continue his work. Rin heard heavy footsteps slowly and wearily walk into the cafeteria.

"'Bout time Yukio. Can we open presents now?" Rin asked childishly and ran out of the kitchen. Why was he feeling so excited over Christmas this year? He was never this excited as a child... Yukio shook his head no.

"Sorry Nii-san, but we're going to meet up with everybody for lunch and open all of our presents there. You'll just have to wait until then." Yukio said before sitting down at one of the cafeteria tables and resting his head on it. Rin looked at the presents wistfully before walking into the back into the kitchen. Might as well help Ukobach.

It's better than watching the presents mock him.

By noon, it was snowing like crazy! Amaimon watched the half blizzard from Mephisto's office window, a bored expression on his face. You know, the usual expression he has. Mephisto dropped a wrapped gift in front of Amaimon. The king of Earth blinked a couple times before looking up to Mephisto.

"You got me something?" Amaimon asked. Mephisto smirked and nodded.

"Open it." Mephisto said. Amaimon gave the box a suspicious look before slowly unwrapping it. A look of pure shock took over Amaimon's bored expression.

There in the box was a demon. A small, Earth demon known as the hobgoblin.

"What... How did you..." Amaimon had trouble finding the right words to express his shock. Mephisto laughed slightly.

"His name is Behemoth. I found this one wandering around Gehenna at one point and he reminded me of you. Merry Christmas!" Mephisto explained before throwing his hands in the air in excitement.

Amaimon hesitantly picked up the just now awakening Behemoth. Behemoth looked at Amaimon and slowly started to smile, revealing his sharp teeth. Amaimon also smiled and hugged the hobgoblin.

"Amazing Aniue! I'm honestly surprised you were able to go to Gehenna long enough to get him..." Mephisto looked to the side nervously.

"Yeah well... I know a couple demons who don't hate me who managed to keep me hidden... Anyways! You and I are going to follow Rin and Okumura-sensei to their little party!" He said. Amaimon looked to him, still not letting go of the demon.

"Are you sure about that? Rin probably won't know my title, but the other kids might. Won't they just try to kill me?" Amaimon asked. Mephisto smirked again and waved his finger.

"Not if I can help it. Come on! It's time to leave!" Mephisto then grabbed Amaimon's jacket collar and dragged him out of the office, Amaimon struggling to get out of his grip. Behemoth gave a tiny sigh before looking up at the two demon kings.

He was glad that he decided to come along with Mephisto.

It was finally time! Rin was waiting impatiently for the other exwires to arrive on the steps. The snow still wasn't easing up, but Rin didn't mind. In fact, he loved the snow!

Yukio had his arms crossed together, his teeth chattering slightly and he was shivering. Rin glanced to him briefly in concern before looking back to the snow hazed world in front of him.

What's taking them so long?!

Rin quickly stood up when he saw figures running towards them in the distance. "Yukio! I think they're here!" Rin shouted over the wind. Yukio closed his eyes and looked down in relief.

"T-Thank god.." Yukio mumbled. Rin gave him a look of pity. Poor thing.. He looks like he's freezing his ass off.

Oh wait...

"Okumura-sensei! Rin! We're sorry we're late!" Konekomaru yelled to them. He held presents in both of his hands, as did the rest of the group.

Rin smiled. "No problem. Let's go inside and warm up."

"Indeed." The exwires and Yukio spun around and looked to the two people casually standing in the doorway.

"Mephisto?!"

Ok... That's all I'm doing for now. It'll get to be about 3,000 or 3,500 words if I kept going.. So I'll stop at a good 2,200! This will be a two-shot! Not a continuing story! Just in case you didn't know ^^

Sorry if the first part was boring, slow, too fast, not good... Next part will be better! I promise.

Last thing, I may not be able to post the next part tomorrow since I'll be REALLY busy... So expect it to be between Thursday and Saturday

With that said, Merry Christmas!
