Disclaimer: I don't own YYH. That belongs to Yoshihiro Togashi. I do,
however, own Faith Dilana, Samantha Jordan, the daemon, Delanthar, Hope,
Marie, John, Charity, Sarah, Taishi, Kyle, Karen, Mizuki, Kazuki, and Koji.
Most of them won't appear for a while. There may be some similarities to
Wish, but I'm not entirely sure. I've never read Wish before. Therefore, I
don't own that either. Mizuki, Kazuki, and Taishi are borrowed names. They
come from characters in Comic Party. I don't own that either.
Notes: Yeah, yeah. It's too early for Christmas, so what? I'm doing it to make the story move along. By the way, Samantha turned four in August.
Last time: "Because you care," he said. Faith smiled.
Chapter 6: Christmas Disaster
Thanksgiving came and went. So did a large portion of December. It was the Christmas season, and the girls were shopping. Kayko, Yukina, and Shizuru had already bought everything they needed. It was Botan and Faith who were having problems.
"Just get him a rose," Faith told Botan.
"He has enough roses," Botan said, "I need to give him something special!"
"A book!" said Faith.
"That's perfect!" Botan headed for the book store, leaving Faith snickering at how blond she was acting(no offense to blonds. I'm a blond too.). Everyone knew Kurama was a bookworm(I am too, so no offense, k?). Faith looked at rows and rows of flame-related things. Nothing. She moved to another store filled with weapons. Still nothing. As she headed for Toshiko, she passed an ice cream cart. (I couldn't think of anything better!)
"That's it!" she said, "He loves ice cream!"
Faith succeeded in getting the ice cream. Afterwards, she had headed to Toshiko and bought rice candy, pocky, and a new kimono. She went home to wrap her gifts, seeing as the other girls were already gone.
Christmas Eve came quickly. The gang had all gone to Faith's new house to exchange gifts. Kayko and Yusuke, Kuwabara and Yukina, Shizuru and Koenma. Botan had received a yellow rose from Kurama. He had taught her about several flowers already, but not yellow roses. She was redder than a tomato when Kurama told her a yellow rose meant 'love everlasting' in the language of the flowers. She gave him the book she had chosen. 'For Love and Glory' by Poul Anderson. Kurama smiled and embraced her, making her blush even more. Faith stopped laughing when Hiei sat next to her with a small box in his hands. She opened the small box and removed a small gold locket. In the locket was a picture of all her friends. Faith smiled and gave Hiei his ice cream. Hiei smiled as Faith put on her new locket. Then he went redder than Botan when Faith hugged him. Everyone then sat in a circle and told of different Christmas traditions.
"Santa Claus," said Kayko, "He lives at the North Pole. Every Christmas, he goes to every house in the world, delivering presents to all the good little boys and girls."
"Stockings," said Yusuke, "The place where Santa Claus puts the presents too tiny to go under the tree." Everyone told something. Shizuru even explained Hanukah traditions. Then came Faith.
"Mistletoe," she said, "When you stand under it, someone has to kiss you." Yusuke put a sprig of Mistletoe over Kayko's head. She smiled and he kissed her. Kuwabara laughed. Yukina kissed him on the cheek, then looked up. He was under the mistletoe too. Koenma and Shizuru got lucky. No mistletoe. Kurama smirked and held some mistletoe over Botan's head.
"I know you like me," he said. Botan blushed. She was about to say something, but was cut off when Kurama kissed her. Hiei thought this was extremely entertaining. That is, until he found himself under the mistletoe. Faith planted a kiss on his cheek, leaving a red lipstick mark. Samantha, because she was so little, had gone to bed long before. Kurama and Faith planned a dinner for the next day, being that it was Christmas. Kayko, Kuwabara, Yukina, and Shizuru couldn't make it. Kayko was visiting her Grandparents. Kuwabara and Shizuru were spending Christmas with their aunt, and Yukina was going back to Koorime Island.
Faith woke up with Samantha sitting on her stomach, yelling at the top of her lungs.
"It's Christmas!" the girl yelled for the hundredth time.
"It's also seven AM," Faith pointed out.
"I know," said Samantha, "But you're supposed to wake up early on Christmas." Faith sighed and sat up, making Samantha jump off the bed. When the two pajama-clad girls got downstairs, they found a sleeping Hiei on the couch.
"I'll wake him up," Faith told Samantha, before the girl could yell. The angel bent over Hiei and held up a sprig of mistletoe. "Oh Hiei," she said gently, "Wake up." Hiei opened his eyes and Faith leaned down. She kissed Hiei gently and put away the mistletoe. She then nodded to Samantha.
"It's Christmas!" the four-year-old yelled at the top of her lungs. She gasped when Hiei vulgarly expressed his pain. The verbal assault was rewarded with a bar of soap in his mouth, courtesy of Faith.
"No cussing in front of Samantha," she said, acting just like a mother.
The morning went by quickly. Faith sat next to Hiei with Sam in her lap while they watched The Santa Claus, the Best Christmas Pageant Ever, and any other G-rated Christmas special they found. Later, they went down to Kurama's for dinner. Everything was fine, until Yusuke and Samantha started flinging peas across the table. Then Botan got hit and threw a handful of Jell-o, which missed Yusuke and hit Koenma, who then threw his stringbeans and hit Hiei. Hiei then threw potatoes at Kurama, who threw his stuffing, which hit Faith, who then hit Samantha and Yusuke with pudding, and it broke into an all-out food fight until Faith made the food disappear. She really hadn't meant for everyone to start a food fight. She had just chosen the wrong way to end it. Everyone cleaned up, did presents, and went home. Of course, Hiei got caught under the mistletoe again, and Faith had to kiss him. Then Botan got caught under it, but she didn't know until Kurama kissed her. Everyone else was good at avoiding it.
I hope you all enjoyed the short food fight. Personally, I loved the whole mistletoe thing. The reason they did all that Christmas tradition stuff was because Hiei knew nothing about any of it. Well, I hope you all enjoyed it.
Spring passed quickly, but in June, the Love Bug struck hard.
All she heard was Hiei's voice.
There have been some alterations to this chapter. The Christmas traditions were added in, so was the 'no cussing' line. The soap was already there. Ja ne! Jessica
