Day 12: The Christmas Carol?
Kaoru woke up, it was Christmas. She rubbed her eyes with her left hand, the jewel shown and she brought it down.
"It wasn't a dream," she thought, smiling. She got dressed and went to make breakfast, omelettes, of course. Nobody else was awake yet. She took the pan out of the oven and set it on the table. She then heard a loud voice. It sounded like Sano, only more evil and drunk. Kaoru went outside to check it out. It was Esano. He was trying to sing Jingle Bells, but failing miserably. He held a sake bottle in his right hand.
"Meeeeerry... Christmaaaas!" Esano said, almost falling into the snow. Kaoru went to him and he fell on top of her, they both fell into the snow.
"Okay, come on, get off of me," she said, pushing him up. She took his arm around her shoulders and dragged him inside and sat him in a chair. She took the sake away from him and splashed him with some water from a cup. He shook his head and blinked. She then handed him a towel. "It's Christmas, try not to ruin it," Kaoru said. Esano nodded and then fell asleep while drying himself off. Kaoru sighed. Kenshin came into the kitchen.
"Good morning, why is Esano here?" He asked. Kaoru blushed.
"Um... he was drunk and came in, so I had to help him," she said. Kenshin laughed a little. Yahiko soon woke up and so did Esano. They had breakfast and then decided to open presents. Kaoru of course showed off her ring. Everyone again gathered in the hall. Kaoru went around to show everyone, of course. Megumi was shocked and almost fainted.
"Let's celebrate!" Esano cried and pourred some sake in a small saucer and drank it quickly.
"I wonder what happened to him," Sano whispered to Yahiko. He shrugged and went over to the food table, which had left overs from the night before and some new dishes. Esano was soon more drunk than before, and trying to sing carols. Then everyone gathered around the tree and handed the presents out to eachother. Yahiko opened his from Kaoru, it was another "sword" ornament.
"Gee, thanks," he said. Kaoru gave Kenshin his present and he opened it. It was a chain made out of red ribbons twisted together into one band. It also had one small blue ribbon in it and it looked hand made, the end was tied into a loop.
"It goes around your sword," Kaoru said, blushing. Kenshin slipped it around the top of the handle.
"Thank you," he said, smiling.
"Although it's not as good as what you got me," Kaoru said quietly. Sano gave Megumi a necklace with a sapphire hanging from it, she gave him a new belt. Yahiko gave Tsubame a pair of earings that had diamonds hanging from them, and she gave him a new wooden sword.
Everyone was happy with their presents, and at night they stayed up late singing and eating. Esano was of course drinking some more, and then passed out. Ayame and Suzume decided to draw a Santa face on him. Kaoru and the others thought it was the best Christmas ever.
Lina: There you go! I hope you like! I didn't really know how to end it, so that's it! Lol
Esano: Oro?
Kenshin: Merry Christmas!
