"Oh Seiya can't you just give me a hint?" Usagi asked for the hundredth time. "No…" Seiya said as he tried to hide the bag containing Usagi's presents behind his back. "Please?" Usagi asked him again. Seiya chuckled a little and patted one of her buns. She was too cute.
It was exactly one year after the defeat of Chaos and it's terror, Seiya and his brothers had made up their minds to go and see the girls since it seemed only right. When they had arrived back on Earth all of the girls had changed from when they had first met in a way. Minako had become a LOT more graceful than Usagi…but that could be because Usagi had become clumsier. Rei had decided to lighted up on Usagi after she saw that her leader prove herself against Chaos, and her friend needed comfort when Mamoru broke her heart and moved away to America permanently. Ami now knew that her fact that she would get a place in the medical department, she had already proven herself worthy to her mother and many of the doctors one time when she had saved a child's life, now about everyone knew about her and her dream do to the press. Makoto sometimes appeared on Cook channels and showed off her skills. It seemed that everything had turned up good in some way for each of the senshi…all but poor Usagi-chan. Usagi had gone in complete isolation after Mamoru had left her. One day they were having an average date, the next…. Usagi was watching painfully as the plane soared in the air. Usagi didn't eat much, she didn't talk much, and she was doing worse in school. But when Seiya came…all of that changed.
It was two and a half weeks before Christmas and the two had met just like they had before…running into each other. Usagi was trying to get home from school so that she could be in her room and let the world pass her by as she lived in the past when she and Mamoru had no problems at all. Seiya was running to the Hikawa Shrine, he was POSITIVE the one he loved would be there talking her friends to death, instead the met sooner. Usagi's face had shone it's usually shine, and everyone had Seiya to thank for that.
"SEIYA! Oh your mean!" Usagi told him when she couldn't get the gift out of him with her charm. "Oi Odango. You're the who told me that you can't tell your friends what you got them…it's tradition remember!" "Oh I'll count on you to remember something like that!" Usagi said pouting. Her features changed to pure happiness as she pulled on his arm. "SEIYA! Why don't you Yaten and Taiki join us for Christmas? We're going to be at Rei-chan's shrine on Christmas Eve. Come on you can't tell me no!" "I wouldn't have it any other way, it'll be fun…demo I think Yaten and Taiki will come only is Ami-chan and Minako-chan will come." Seiya told her with a knowing smile, which completely puzzled the blonde. "Whad'ya mean by-oh." Usagi said after she caught on and gave Seiya the same exact smile. "Yeah, they'll be there."
"USAGI-CHAN!"
Usagi whipped her head around and stared towards the horizon, Minako was running towards her. It seemed she had something important to tell her. When the hyper young woman finally caught up to them she leaned on Usagi to catch her breath.
"What is it Mina-chan?"
"New plans, we can't celebrate at Hikawa Shrine…demo Yaten-CHAN said we could do it over there. Oh that is so sweet of Yaten-chan!"
"Really Seiya…we can?" Usagi asked with stars in her eyes.
"What ever makes you happy Odango." Seiya told her with a smile that made butterflies in the young girl's stomach.
Minako looked from Seiya to Usagi then tugged at Usagi to get her attention. "Usagi-chan you're so clueless, you don't even know when a boy is flirting with you?" Minako left leaving Usagi to think about those words. This is going to be a special Christmas. Seiya thought to himself.
(CHRISTMAS EVE)
"Oi Rei-chan get me another drink please!"
"Any drink Usagi-chan?"
"Hai…wait no! Anything that doesn't contain alcohol!" The girl said catching on. "Darn! We were going to have fun with that!" Rei replied with a smile tugging at her lips as she made her way into to Kou's kitchen. Everyone had gathered around the Christmas Tree Makoto had chosen for the Kou's just a few hours ago. Rei had made it clear that no gifts were to be open until midnight which was fine by everyone but Usagi, she REALLY wanted to have a gift in her possession! Mistletoe was hung everywhere just to be torn down by Usagi made it clear that her lips weren't touching anyone's, that took some out of it for the three men. A loud THUMP broke the Christmas chatter and spirit; everyone went deathly silent as they stole glances at each other. "What was that?" A trembling Usagi asked as she grabbed the nearest thing out of reflex-that nearest thing happened to be Seiya Kou. Seiya made soothing noises to calm her down and they worked. "Shhh Odango. I'll go and check it out." Usagi looked at him. "Nani don't leave! If your going then I'm going to!" Usagi declared. Wasn't she just to scared to move? This girl is very puzzling. "Fine Usagi-chan, come on. We won't be long." The two grabbed their jackets and scarves and headed out the door, letting a cluster of snow into their warm home. It was quiet for a few moments after they left then Yaten turned to face his friends. "Okay raise you hand if you think that was planned by them so that they could get some quiet time alone?" All hands went in the air.
(OUTSIDE)
"Seiya I don't see anything." Usagi whispered to the fearless man. Seiya was looking around in every direction; he was determined to find something that would explain the noise they heard in the house. "I don't see-" Seiya was cut off by another thump that was heard above them and they both looked up. "Is there a robber up there?" Seiya didn't answer, instead he ran back into the apartment followed by Usagi. They had gone up four flights and Usagi was getting tired, VERY. Finally they came to a lone door and went through, Usagi was a little hesitant though. "Seiya, where are we going?" "To the roof." Seiya said as though it was simple. Once he opened the door they were greeted by Old man winter. The wind was so chilly and the snow failed to stop falling. Usagi pulled her hood over her head and held it there. When she looked out she let out a scream. There was a man in a red suit with his head looking into a strange red car run by nine strange looking dogs. The man was portly and looked like he was over 80 years old. Seiya clamped his hand over her mouth to hush her. The strange man paid no attention to her. "Th-that's Santa!" Usagi told him in a hushed voice. Seiya failed to believe her, he walked up to the man and without any warning lifted his leg and kicked him until the strange man let out a little yelp and fell into his red car and hit his head on the edge of it…causing him to fall in a state of unconsciousness. Usagi looked at him with wide eyes. "SEIYA YOU KILLED SANTA CLAUS!" A few car alarms went off in the distance and Usagi blushed and clamped her mouth shut, she hadn't meant to be that loud! "I did no such thing!" Seiya said defensively. "That was Santa Claus!" Seiya observed the man and the car. It was pretty interesting. A bag of presents, dogs tied to the sleigh. "Now how am I supposed to get my presents?" Usagi whined. "You mean…that was the REAL Santa?!" "Hai!" "God I'm screwed." Seiya said as he hung his head low. Usagi then got a great idea. "No you aren't Seiya. You can take Santa's place! Just put on his jumper and hat and climb into that sleigh! I want to come to!" Usagi said as he jumped over the real Santa and hopped into the sleigh. Seiya, not having much of a choice gently removed the clothes from the old and put them on himself. He laid Santa onto the ground and jumped into the sleigh next to Usagi. "How do I look?" "Really skinny in those clothes, demo your missing something!" Usagi said thoughtfully, then it came to her. "Seiya you're missing you hat! Hai you need your hat-oh you look so kawaii!" Usagi said then blushed, as did Seiya. Seiya took a deep breath and mumbled 'I can't believe I'm doing this' and looked at Usagi.
"What do I do know, I don't see any ignition hole. Or start button."
"Seiya, this is run by reindeers, not a car battery! Don't you know anything about Santa?"
"To tell the truth, all I know now is that I knocked him out."
"Oh Seiya…" Usagi said while shaking her head. Usagi gave Seiya a good look over. It was true what she had said before, he did look pretty cute and she loved to be with him no matter what. His atmosphere was always so warm and gentle. She blushed and stopped her mind from having those thoughts. She decided to tease him to get those thought out of her head. "Seiya you do now notice that you're married to Mrs. Claus!" She chuckled a little but then stopped abruptly when her clothes had magically changed to a replica of Seiya's Santa foot, although hers was more fitting and showed off some of her curves. She wore a Santa hat that had a bell on the end. Seiya looked at her with amazement then smiled at her. "Well I guess I'm married to you!" He said grinning broadly. Usagi then shut up. "Well er…what are we waiting for? Shouldn't we be going, We have all of the kids in the world to cover! Chop Chop!" Usagi ordered. "You're the master!" Seiya said as she whipped the reins, and they were off into the night.
