SmilBe's note: Ever wanted to see the Christmas Special of Shaman King? This fanfic is supposed to give you a good idea what it will be about. Of course, I don't guarantee that this will appear on TV. The chance is probably impossible. I think this fanfic's too early for Christmas in our real world. But I hope this fic will remain a favorite to read at Christmas time! XD Well, I'll shut my mouth now and let you read my fanfic.
Shaman King Christmas Special:
Disclaimer: Don't own Shaman King. 'Nuff said. XP
1 ~ Before Christmas
Tamao Tamamura, was happily engrossed in crossing off the dates that had just passed on her calendar.
"La, la, la -- Only 5 more days till Christmas!" The girl sang cheerfully.
"Tamao, what are you doing?" Ponchi appeared beside her.
"Kyyaaaaaaaaa---!! You scared me, Ponchi!"
"Yeah, whatcha doing?" Conchi came out.
"I'm counting off the dates till Christmas of course!"
"To spend the night with Yoh?" Conchi asked softly in her ear.
"Conchi! Don't tell stupid jokes! Of course not!" Tamao blushed madly at the thought.
Both of the spirits patted her on the back sympathetically.
"You two! Don't say such discouraging things! Christmas is supposed to be fun since it is the celebration of the birth of Jesus!"
"Obviously, you seem to think more about Yoh as your God." Ponchi snickered.
"Ponchi! Don't say bad things about God. That's very rude. Indeed, I like Yoh-sama, but I will never betray Anna-sama either!" Said Tamao.
"Yeah, yeah. You've repeated this one saying a million times! Aren't you going to do something about it?"
"I plan to slowly give up..." Said Tamao sadly, looking away.
"Tamao..." The two spirits looked at each other.
***
"Anna! You didn't wash my socks!"
"Because they were too disgusting. I couldn't even bear to touch it."
"It's not that bad..." Yoh sniffed at the pair of socks and coughed. "Ehhh, perhaps it is quite a bit, too smelly..."
"You finally realized."
"At least you could do some of the dishes!"
"It's not my job to do them. I'm only responsible to train you." Said Anna.
"Then who's job is it?!"
"Yours." She said simply. The itako lay sideways, intently watching the TV. "By the way, go and fetch me some chips. I'm hungry."
Yoh groaned. "It's almost Christmas. But how come it doesn't feel like it in our house?!"
"You're right." Replied Anna, still not taking her eyes away from the screen.
"Well, DO something about it!"
Anna pretended not to hear Yoh's last sentence. Yoh hung his head, went to the kitchen, and found a bag of Doritos. Then he angrily dumped them beside Anna. "I'm going to find Manta."
"Be back before dinner."
"I don't want to make dinner!"
"I'll do it then!"
Yoh, taken aback by her sudden change of reply, mumbled something and was gone.
***
"...Check."
"Oh no, you don't. This bishop is now here to eat your stinkin' queen!" Horo Horo said, satisfied at his triumph.
"Then what about this?" Tao Ren grabbed his queen and moved it. "Checkmate."
"Argh, shoot! This is the third time I've lost to you in chess! But someday, I'll beat you!"
"Yeah, in anoher 20 or even 30 years." Ren yawned.
"What the heck do ya mean by that?! Actually, I promise I'll beat you on the night of Christmas! You just wait!" The boy from Hokkaido stomped out of the room.
Ren just shrugged after him.
"Ren-san! Did you beat my brother AGAIN?" Pilika entered the room.
"That idiot was just too simple-minded. What can I do?"
"You could pretend to lost to him. Christmas is near, but he's just not happy because he always lost to you in chess." Pilika said reasonably.
"Your right," Ren replied, and hesitated for a second. "But it's no MY style."
Pilika sighed.
"Hey~! Is this Horo Horo's room?" Chocolove, over-excited, came barging in the bedroom.
"Sure is." Pilika smiled.
"It doesn't seem very stylish..."
"What are you doing here?!" Ren interrupted, distubred at Chocolove's entrance.
"Well, Horo Horo wasn't cheerful when I saw him. Even my jokes didn't help. So...I thought the reason was YOU."
Pilika giggled. "And you're right!"
"It's not my fault."
"At least you should've encouraged to practice more rather than acting bored!"
"Grrr...I suck at helping people, okay?!"
"You could be a little bit nicer. It's gonna be Christmas soon." Said Pilika.
"Maybe I will, maybe I won't."
"Of course you will Ren...after all -- you'r my mate!" CHocolove said wisely.
"Who said we were mates??!"
"I decided on that. Now if you two will excuse ME, I've got to go prepare dinner." Pilika skipped out of the room. Ren looked at Chocolove.
"Somehow, an unknown power holds me back if I wanted to talk back to that girl."
"It's because you never give good compliments to anyone." Chocolove explained matter-of-factly.
"What did you say?!!"
"Oh, nothing..."
***
"Maiden-sama --- What would you prefer for Christmas dinner: Turkey or Fried Chicken?" Lyserg inquired nervously.
Iron Maiden Jeanne chuckled. "Lyserg-san, you are so entertaining! Those choices should be for Thanksgiving!"
"Lyserg!" Marco said warningly.
"Oh, I'm VERY sorry, Maiden-sama. I mean, WHAT would you like for Christmas dinner?"
"Mmmm...let me see. Perhaps fillet steak would be a preferrable selection. Oh, and some vegetable salad. A healthy combination, don't you agree, Marco-san?" Jeanne gestured towards the firm man.
"I definitely agree, Maiden-sama."
"Would our whole clan like to put up some Christmas decorations too?" Lyserg suggested.
"An excellent idea, Lyserg-san!" Maiden beamed at him. Lyserg blushed.
"Maiden-sama!! The ship is ready to set sail! Please go on board!" Meene came rushing to the three.
"Thankyou, Meene-san. Let us go then."
"Affirmative, Maiden-sama."
***
"Hao-sama, what do you plan to do for Christmas?" Mari questioned curiously.
"He-he. An interesting question, Mari. I plan to go chase that Kyouyama girl. She's quite attractive, you have to admit."
Matilda Matisse tried to hold back a giggle. "Hao-sama, do stop teasing Mari. She might start her tantrum again."
"Mari won't."
"Oh yes you will."
"Mari won't!"
"I bet you will."
"I think you will too." Hao added.
Mari burst into tears.
"Hao-sama, you started it!" Matilda hurriedly scrambled away for her escape.
"Matilda, wait!" Hao trailed off. "Ah well. There, there Mari. I didn't mean to say that."
"Mari wishes, *sniff* that Hao-sama would stop joking around with Mari..."
"I'm sorry...hey, how about this? We'll go greet some of our targets on Christmas night! Would you like that, Mari?" Said Hao, with a smile on his face.
Mari brushed her tears away immediately, and nodded. "Mari thinks that is a great idea. Perhaps taking care of those two brats can calm Mari down."
"Well, it's all settled then!"
***
"Yoh-kun! What are you doing here?!!" Manta exclaime, astonished at Yoh's sudden visit.
"Yo." Yoh greeted Manta in the same manner he always did to everyone.
"Sheesh, you always seem to say "Yo" everytime you meet someone." Said Manta as he let Yoh into his house.
"Except Anna. By the way, is your family home?"
"Nope. Went to visit some museum..."
"I see..."
"What are you doing here? Anna again?!"
"Sure is. She just is always lazing around, unlike other housewives. I couldn't bear to stay there too long or I'll have to do chorse every 5 minutes!"
"She's still young though. You'll get used to it."
"But it's gonna be Christmas soon!"
Manta narrowed his eyes. "So?"
"We're the only household thats not ready for Christmas." And Yoh was correct. Manta's home was already decorated with a Christmas tree.
"I wouldn't deny that but --"
"Hey, why don't you come to my house and reason with Anna?"
"Ehh..."
"C'mon! It might just work!"
Manta looked dubious, but allowed himself to be dragged by Yoh all the way to the Asakura house.
*Knock Knock*
Anna opened the door, with rubber gloves on her hands that were wet.
"Hey An--"
*WHAM* The door slammed shut.
"--Huh?"
"What just happened?"
1 minute later, the door opened again.
"Come on in." Said Anna. The gloves were gone.
Yoh and Manta entered the house puzzled, wondering what just happened.
"Is dinner ready?"
"it's in the freezer. Cold drumsticks." Anna lay in her usual seat.
"I'm hungry, let's eat whatever's left your freezer." Manta rubbed his stomach.
"Sure." Yoh opened the freezer door and saw the cold drumsticks on a clean plate. He took it out and smelled it. "Nice..."
Both of them took awhile to pig out on their dinner.
As Yoh took the empty plate to sink he noticed that the kitchen was cleaner than before.
"Anna, did ya clean the house?"
"You must be kidding..." Anna murmured. But Yoh heard.
"It does look better, doesn't it?" Manta commented.
The boys looked suspiciously at Anna, who stared at them.
"What, do I have a pimple?"
They shook their heads.
