Merry Christmas everyone! Only nineteen days, and I can't wait! There will be 24 new chapters on this, and I promise I will finish them and eventually my Vampire Souls one as well, but finals are coming up and I have to study… So it might take me a while… Please like and review!
On the second day of Christmas:
Minako awoke to the cold, hard floor. "Itai!" She cried. She peeled herself off of the wood and got to her feet, before running to her slippers gasping "cold! Cold!" She sighed with content as she put on her fluffy red slippers, and grinned when she remembered what day it was. "Wake up! Artemis wake up! IT'S CHRISTMAS!" She squealed. The white furred cat looked up, fur Ruffled from his sudden awakening.
"Ah, well go back to sleep… It's too early." He curled up and went back to sleep, ignoring the excited blonde.
She frowned and quickly brushed her hair before running downstairs. While she wasn't allowed to open presents when he parents weren't awake, she could still snoop around and try to guess beforehand. When she got to the living room she saw a few stacks of presents under her colorful tree. On the table though, sat a few small presents and a pouch.
She squealed and grabbed the first one. It was covered in pretty yellow-orange wrapping paper, and had no note. 'I wonder who it's from?' She thought as she shredded the paper. Inside was a pretty white ribbon, meant to be put in her hair, probably. She squealed and grabbed a much bigger box, expecting it to be a dress. She gasped when she unwrapped it and stuck her nose into her gift, for she held a beautiful bouquet of white lilies, her favorite flower.
Now very curious as to who was sending her these gifts, she unwrapped the law one very carefully. She knew who sent the gifts as soon as she opened it. Inside, rested a Sailor V doll, holding out her victory V fingers. "Oh Artemis," she sighed happily. It had been over a year since she had met him, and she hadn't been able to transform into Sailor V since she became Sailor Venus. 'Maybe he got it as a reminder of the early days? But where did he get the money to buy these?' She thought to herself.
Minako reached for the red pouch and untied the ribbon around the opening. The pouch held an allowance worth of strawberry taffy, and a pretty silver moon compact. She smiled softly and traced the edge of the compact, whispering "Crescent Boomerang." She felt warm energy flow throughout her body as she said the familiar words.
Holding the doll and compact close to her chest, she began walking softly back to her room. Shutting the door softly she crept towards Artemis's pillow at the end of her bed. She kissed the top of his head and whispered "Merry Christmas Artemis." He purred softly as she pet his fur, and opened his eyes to the happy girl.
