Disclaimer: I don't own "The Twelve Days of Christmas" or Gravitation, as much as I want them.

Summary: A better name for this would probably be "The Birds". Or "The People"...Oh Gods! The people!

Half-warning: Scary, for me at least, images up ahead.

The Eleventh Day of Christmas

…On the eleventh day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Eleven piper's piping
Ten lords-a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids-a-milking
Seven swans-a-swimming
Six geese-a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree…

Luckily, he was never graced with having to see the man run around his house. Shuichi had given the pink lord his costume back and he had come out of the closet wearing clothes. Why the pink lord was in the closest, Yuki couldn't really figure out. Maybe he wanted to come out of the closet? Well…anything was possible, especially with ten leaping lords.

They had stayed over for so long that it was around four a.m. when Yuki had finally kicked them out. He was afraid to go to sleep around them. Of course, Yuki had had so much coffee that he couldn't fall asleep right away. It had to have been around five or six when he actually managed to fall asleep.

"Woohoo," Yuki thought, when he woke up that morning. Actually, it wasn't all that early. It wasn't even morning. It was more like two p.m. and yes, it was a strange thing to see Yuki being so happy. Especially with all the stuff that's been happening to him lately, being in a good mood was a weird, weird thing. Why was he so happy? Well, he thought that today was the last day that he was going to be getting things. It made him so happy to know that the presents were soon going to be stopped.

Little did he know.

He rolled out of bed and onto a bird. It squeaked, or tweeted, or something, and ran right out of the room. Seconds later a goose was in the room, honking at him and chasing him.

The little bird had told on him! It was so obvious that it had. How wrong is that? Luckily, though, Yuki was getting used to being chased by the geese and knew that if you stopped and faced them sometimes they would stop chasing you. It was kind of like a "they smell fear" thing. So that's what he did.

Only this time, it didn't work. The goose ran headlong into him and almost knocked him over. Those damn geese were strong. Yuki then had to put up with the goose barraging him over and over. To say it was annoying would've been an understatement, but you have to realize, once they've gotten to you, they don't stop until they're done.

Usually it was about five to ten minutes of pecking. When the goose was finally finished,Yuki was in pain. It was the all the little bird's fault to. Oh, how he just wanted to kill that bird. He could too. Yuki smiled evilly. Shuichi wouldn't notice that one little bird was missing.

Of course, if that bird happened to survive and rat him out again, he doubted that just one goose would coming and peck him. Most likely all of them would. That would be bad. But still, the chances of that bird surviving were very small and Yuki was very tempted…

'Snap out of it, Yuki!' he chastised himself. 'You're plotting revenge against a bird! That's so wrong!' Yuki exited the room before he could do himself more damage. He needed to take a quick shower to clear his mind.

Perhaps a cold one would be good. Wait a minute, no way! He'd taken a cold shower before and it was not fun. No, no, a hot shower would definitely be best. He turned on the water and let it run for a few minutes before stepping inside. It felt so good. He let the steam and water surround him, warming him up. The rest of the house –besides the bed- was so incredibly cold.

It's too bad that all good things have to come to an end. He turned off the shower knowing that if he kept the hot water running any longer he would use it all up, have to face the wrath of Shuichi, and have a high water bill.

He walked into the bedroom and told Shuichi to get up. Shuichi, not really being a morning person, told him to fuck off. Yeah, he really wasn't a morning person. It took Yuki a lot of effort to finally get Shuichi out of bed. And when Shuichi had finally gotten out of bed, it hadn't been with a cheery face. Shuichi actually glared at Yuki when he exited the bed.

Once he got into the shower though, he cheered up quite nicely. Especially since Yuki had warmed it up so nicely.

When he got out of the shower he greeted Yuki with a quite peck on the lips. Yep, it was weird how much Shuichi changed in the morning. It was like he completely morphed.

Even if it wasn't the morning…

Yuki went into the kitchen, expertly dodging the birds, and made himself breakfast…lunch…whatever, brunch. He loved being evil to the birds, so he made the goose eggs into an omelet. He made an omelet for Shuichi, since he knew that Shuichi would be hungry when he finally got out of the shower.

All of the birds looked at him evilly while he was eating his omelet. He didn't really care though; they couldn't do anything about it. Well, they could, but luckily they didn't know that. Since he was so sore from the goose pecking him that morning, all they would have had to do was run and get a goose and he would've thrown the omelet away. Luckily though, they didn't.

When Yuki was half-done with his omelet, Shuichi came out of the shower wrapped up in a towel. It was a very cute sight and Yuki almost drooled.

"Yuki, did you make me something?" he asked cutely. Yuki pointed over to the counter. There was a plate with the omelet on it. Shuichi ran over to the counter and grabbed the omelet. He sat down at the table next to Yuki and began eating it. "It's so yummy!" he cried, fake tears coming to his eyes. That's Shuichi, always the dramatist.

Yuki finished eating and went to the study to start writing. He hadn't done any lately and a due date was starting to look him right in the face. It was coming up and he needed to finish the book he was writing. He had just plopped down and started writing when he heard what sounded like movement.

Sure, it was probably the birds, but this movement seemed different somehow. He looked around trying to locate the movement. It kept happening. It sounded like something was wiggling.

He couldn't locate where it was coming from.

Suddenly, the sound of cracking followed the movement. Yuki's eyes shot to the nest where he had put the goose eggs in that had been fertilized. Sure enough, the eggs were cracking. They were hatching. Already. Yuki was pretty sure that it took more than a few days for eggs to hatch.

Maybe these geese were magic. The thought creeped him out. Having regular geese here was enough, but if he got magic geese too, that would be just plain scary. It took a long time for the baby goslings to finally break out of their shell, and when they did they started making the noises that little goslings make.

Their mothers came running. In that case, Yuki went running. He didn't want to be in there with six other geese. It would not be fun. He tired to never been in a room with more than one goose at a time. It was getting harder as there were more and more geese coming, but at least he was doing okay.

All of a sudden Yuki heard the sound of music. Not just any music…it was a pipe. It was very chipper and quite annoying. Since he was in need of a destination anyway, he went into the living room where he saw eleven people playing the pipe. Good God! It was even louder in here. He saw eight pails of milk too. The eight maids a milking must've already come and left.

At least he hadn't had to see them. The nine ladies dancing were just dancing along to the piper's music. The ten lords a leaping seemed very, very familiar.

Today they were different people and they weren't wearing the same things as they were yesterday, luckily. They were still colorful, but not to the point that they were creepy.

Yuki's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that he hadn't recognized them right off the bat. He knew almost every single one of them.

There was Hiro! And Tohma! And Tatsuha. Ryuichi was there too, so Tatsuha was leaping right next to him. That crazy blond that had come with Yuki and Shuichi on their date was there too.

Shuichi was sitting on the couch looking at all of them.

"Yuki!" he called, "look at all the people you know! I got our friends to help!"

Our friends? Since when was Hiro Yuki's friend?

"Let me tell you who the other people are," Shuichi continued. "That's Sakano, he's my manager. That's Yuuji, he's Hiro's older brother…" Yuki thought that he had looked an awful lot like Hiro, "That's Suguru, he's one of the people in my band. And this little guy is Michael! He's K's son. Isn't he so cute?" That damn American had a son? It had to be the weirdest thing he'd ever heard in his life. "And that's Ma-kun! He's in ASK."

All of them were leaping. They weren't lords either, but they were the best that Shuichi could probably do on short notice. Seeing the other people he knew prance around in tights was scary enough, but seeing Tohma leaping around in tights was a very scary sight and something that Yuki hoped he would never have to see again.

Of course, he hoped for a billion dollars and lord knows that that hasn't happened yet.

So, Yuki had to see Tohma prancing around in front of him over and over again.

Well…at least tomorrow there wouldn't be any new gifts.

Right?
