Santa's Disappearance 2/?

Heero walked towards a crowded mall, his eyes darting from side to side in hopes of Spotting Santa.

"So Heero, what is one of Santa's elves doing here?" Duo asked

Heero could tell that Duo was just humouring him because of the tiny smirk Duo had on his face whenever he called him one of Santa's elves. Heero swore to himself that once he found that stupid Santa Claus who was causing him so much trouble, he would shove the guy in Duo's face.

"Santa disappeared and I'm looking for him" Heero replied in a gruff voice. He had been trying to rid himself of the annoying longhaired shadow for ten blocks now so that he could focus more on his mission of finding Santa. Maybe if he glared a little harder and walked a little faster.

"Hey! I know! I can help you find Santa Claus! I don't really have anything to do anyways! We can be like detectives! I'll obviously be the very good looking detective and you could be my trusty sidekick!" Heero groaned and increased his glaring though it seemed that Duo was immune to it.

Duo then ran up to the closest Santa he saw, which wasn't that far because there was a Santa everywhere you looked. Before Heero could protest, Duo yanked off the Santa's long cotton beard, "Nope Heero, this isn't the real Santa!" Heero tried to hide his face so that no one would notice that he was the one Duo was talking to.

Duo then zipped away faster then Heero would have thought possible. Heero continued searching for Santa Claus without any luck. Twenty minutes passed and Duo had not come back. He started to fiddle with the tip of his hat in boredom; he hadn't realized how boring it would be without Duo constantly talking. He was about to go searching for the longhaired blabber mouth(in case he got caught by the police or something for harassing the Santa Clauses) when he heard someone yell his name.

"Heero that was easy! I told you I could find Santa Claus, he's right here!" Heero turned to see Duo dragging a fat white haired man by his beard towards him. The poor man was shaking and pleading for Duo to release him. Heero did not know and was afraid to ask what Duo had put the man through for him to be so scared. Once Duo dropped the man in front of Heero, he fell on his knees and started reciting the 'Our Father'. Duo looked at the man curiously and poked him with his foot.

"Heero, is Santa always so weird. I thought he would be happy when I brought him here" Heero winced when the men started kissing his feet and throwing his money at them. It took some time but Heero finally managed to calm the white haired man down and the man left, thanking them gratefully. Heero glared at Duo.

"But Heero he had a REAL beard and was really really fat!"

"Duo Santa does not look like that at all"

"So what does Santa look like? Isn't he an old man with a white beard and a red outfit?" Heero nearly laughed. The Santa Clauses that he saw at stores were nothing like the real Santa Claus. People were so stupid, how would a fat out of shape old man be able to deliver presents to people all over the world without dying of exhaustion anyways?

"No, Santa Claus looks to be around eighteen years old. He has blond hair and blue eyes. He is always happy and laughs a lot. He makes stupid jokes and is too generous for his own good." Just thinking about this got Heero mad. The reason Santa had gotten kidnapped was probably because of his innocence and trusting nature.

Duo looked really surprised about Heero's description of Santa. "Ok. so Santa is a eighteen year old boy with blond hair and blue eyes."

"I don't need you to repeat everything I say" Heero snarled and Duo looked a little hurt at this. Heero felt a little ashamed for snapping at Duo; it was not Duo's fault that Santa Claus had been kidnapped. He breathed in deeply before calmly giving Duo an explanation, "Every one hundred years, a new Santa Claus is chosen. He is taken away when he is eighteen and is taught how to be a good Santa by the former Santa."

Duo looked thoughtful for some time, "Maybe he ran away." Heero frowned and was about to reply that Santa Claus would never run away but then he started to think about the possibilities. Santa had been looking pretty sad lately.

Duo, fearing that Heero wouldn't understand, tried to defend his statement "I mean I would run away if such a great responsibility was put on my shoulders for one hundred years! If I had been taken when I was really young and unable to explore the world I would get curious and would want to go visit the world. I would get bored giving presents to all the kids. Especially if all elves were as grouchy as you."

"Fine, I'll go to the North Pole and tell the other elves about this. Wufei might not be happy that I'm coming home empty handed though."

"Yay! I get to go to the North Pole" Duo looked so happy that Heero decided to keep Duo around. just for a little longer. Heero closed his eyes and both he and Duo started to glow.

"Shit! Heero! I'm glowing!"

"Shut up, I'm using my magic to bring us there and I need to concentrate"

"You mean you're a REAL elf?!? I thought you were just a psycho or something and I was playing along."

Heero rolled his eyes but inwardly smiled at Duo's shocked expression. Duo got over the shock pretty quickly though and yelled out at the top of his lungs in delight.

"Yahoo! North Pole, here I come!!!"

For some reason, Heero felt like he was bringing a living disaster to the North Pole.
