Christmas Classics

Scrooge: Part 2

Golden eyes narrowed, "And who are you?"

The spirit huffed, brushing more sandy blonde hair out of his violet eyes, he was dressed in a simple coat and black pants, not very…ghosty, "I'm the ghost of Christmas past."

He must've looked really skeptical when he said, "You're just a boy."

The boy snorted, "A dead spirit boy that's currently haunting people, mind you. Argentine's the name."

"I see, well if you'd be so kind as to let me go back to sleep-"

The boy crossed his arms and glared, "Don't you dare fall asleep on me! You're not allowed to fall asleep on people who're here to haunt you! I waited for the equivalent of two minutes and thirty-eight seconds for you to get back here!"

Krad followed and crossed his arms, "I can't help it if the ghost of my old boss came back to haunt me but then couldn't figure out how to work a frickin lock."

"I see…anyways, let's begin this thing shall we? I have a busy schedule, millions of people to haunt and make them feel horrible and guilty and terrible and horrific and dreadful and awful..."

"My, doesn't that sound cheery."

"Best job in the world. Anyways," He snapped his finger, "On with the show."

-s-c-h-o-o-l--s-u-c-k-s-

They ended up in a very dreary looking place, Krad frowned, "Great…out of all places to be…school…"

"What a crap school you have."

"Tell me about it…not literally, or else I'd have to beat your head in, anyways that'd take days, I doubt you have that long. I swear, we ran off welfare."

The boy nodded and walked through the walls, Krad looked at it uncertainly remembering how his old boss had ran into the door in a not so graceful way, the spirit gestured for him to follow, "Come on, we can walk through walls and people and other stuff, it's awesome!"

Reluctantly, he followed and was amazed when he stepped through the doorway, he followed the spirit to a classroom to see himself sleeping along with half the class, he rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Ah yes, good old times…" His eyes trailed over to another sleeping figure with messy violet hair, then a nudge was sent to his side, he looked down, "What?"

Argentine grinned, "I see someone's got a crush…" The blonde blushed and smacked the boy on the head earning him a pout. Then the bell rang, the class and ran past them, "And whoosh! Look at them go!" The boy grinned childishly.

"Come on Krad! Let's go eat lunch!"

Krad watched in silence as Dark ushered him out of the class with a lunch box in his hands, "But I'm not hungry…"

"You're never hungry!"

"Because I'm not!"

"That's why you're so skinny! So come on! Let's go!"

He watched himself get dragged out of the room, he didn't try very hard to resist the other boy, he remembered. The spirit smirked, "Ah love is in the air."

"Shut up already!"

"Fine then, we'll move on."

"What-I didn't say that!" Honestly, he didn't want to leave the scene, he missed those times when he had the violet haired boy tugging at his arm, ushering him to eat.

"Too bad." Then he snapped his fingers again.

------------------

Krad blinked as they entered a stadium-ish room, "Isn't this-"

"This is when you people graduated from school."

"Krad!"

The blonde watched himself turn around to see his friend, "Yea?"

Dark grinned, Krad felt himself want to smile at the grin, "Congrats on graduating!"

He had shook the other boy's hand with a grin of his own, "You too! I didn't think you would!"

The boy pouted, "That's mean Krad…"

"I know."

"Let's keep in touch okay?"

"Yea, sure."

A kiss was planted on his cheek, "I'll see you around then!"

He watched himself wave rather stupidly, "Did I really look that stupid?"

"See for yourself you stupid."

He frowned and smacked the boy on the head again, "Insult me will you?"

"Stop hitting me!" He whined and snapped his fingers again.

----------------

Argentine looked at his watch, "Crap, I only have a bit of time left, this will be the last part."

"Thank god…" He muttered to himself.

"What was that?"

"I said thank god, you stupid brat!"

Smack.

"Stop hitting me! This is child abuse!"

"You're dead already! Just hurry up with this and let me sleep!"

The boy pouted and pointed to another version of him, a bit older, on the phone, "What? Tomorrow? Sorry…I can't, I have work."

More talking, "I'm sorry Dark, this is a pain in the ass, my boss isn't giving me any time off, I know, I hate him!"

The spirit sighed, "Ironic how you turned out sorta like your boss eh?"

Smack.

"I did not! I know how to unlock doors!"

The boy whined, "Take this!" He snapped his fingers and transported them to a classroom.

"Oh god…" Krad groaned in horror as he saw his old teacher in the middle of a lecture, no one was alive in the classroom, well they were alive but none of them were awake making them pretty much dead.

Argentine blinked, "Well, looks like my time's up, it's been fun, see you."

With a snap of a finger, he ended up in his bedroom again, he sighed and sat on his bed and sighed again, "I can't believe I'm going through a guilt trip because of some brat." Then poof! Another spirit showed up, he frowned, "Another one?"

"Hello there. I'm the spirit of Christmas present!"

Krad stared at the girl with silver-ish hair and emerald eyes, dressed in a fancy and Christmasy robe, "Are you in denial about your age, spirit?"

"Call me Towa-chan!"

"Towa…"

"Towa-chan!"

The blonde gave a slow now, "Alright then, Towa-chan, what are you going to show me?"

"If I told you it wouldn't be fun!" She giggled.

"Whatever, just hurry up and get it over with, I want to sleep."

"So rude!" She shook the bells that seemed to appear out of nowhere and the scene changed right before his eyes.

------------------

"Tou-san!"

"Saehara! Were you successful today?"

"No, I almost got shot…"

"Oh well…another day! Tomorrow's Christmas, we can give him a break…" He grinned and patted his son on the head, it was almost as though he was never almost shot.

Krad blinked as he watched the boy's family in their very comfy house, the blonde's eyes narrowed, "What happened to the poor part he always seemed to be begging for?"

"Don't you know? Wow, you're stupider than you seem aren't you? They're perfectly fine, just a little mental and insane and messed up, but perfectly fine nonetheless."

"They all meant the same thing."

"Quite you! Don't question the spirit!"

"Yes ma'am…"

The girl huffed, "It's Towa-chan!"

"Yes Towa-chan…ma'am…miss…" At that point he decided that it was better to simply…shut up.

"Anyways, next…" She rang her bells and poof! They turned into magical horsies that could talk, fly and even tap dance! No, they weren't that cool, they simply changed scenes and then, the spirit squealed rather loudly, if normal people other than Krad even though he wasn't all that normal heard her…they'd be freaked out, like Krad was, "Oh my god! They're so cute! I just want to go and hug them or something!"

Golden eyes blinked as he looked at where he was, it was Daisuke's room. And there the said redhead was, asleep on the bed with two other figures. On one side, he was hugging Satoshi who looked rather…dead when he was asleep. Peaceful…but dead nonetheless. Krad didn't smile at the heartwarming sight nor did he squeal and prance about like Towa did, he couldn't care less about those two. They had each other and it wasn't like one of them was traumatized in anyway, not that he'd care if they were.

Nope, the one he was looking at was the third figure, he walked over by going around the bed since the thought of walking through their bodies freaked him out almost as much as Towa's squealing. The spirit was putting on a very fangirl-ish face while she watched the two sleep, which of course, she didn't consider to be rude in any way possible, "They look so cute together!"

Krad looked down at Dark who was seemingly asleep, until he opened his eyes. The blonde jumped slightly, he'd probably get called a stalker or a thief if he was caught…then he remembered that they couldn't see him, he sighed and continued watching...which is the lighter term for gawking. Never in his life had he felt more like a stalker than at that exact moment, he was watching people sleep! Not just people, the people closest to him, which wasn't all that close but closer than other people.

Violet eyes blinked as he rolled onto his back and rested his head on his arms, staring at the ceiling thoughtfully, which made him look very cool, not that he wasn't cool before but it was s different kind of cool when he did that. It was angsty and cool, cool in an angsty way, Krad blushed and kicked the thought out of his head. The violet haired boy sighed, "I wonder if Krad's going to be there tomorrow…"

He was thinking about…him? The blonde inwardly cheered, but then he remembered what he had told the redhead, the whole no-way-in-hell-I'm-going-to-your-party thing, ugh, stupid, stupid tourette syndrome-ness, of course it only happened when somewhere deep inside him knew he was going to regret it later. He wanted to do nothing more than to pound his own his head in at the moment.

The blonde smiled softly, "Dark…"

Then a certain spirit popped in front of him, through Dark's body, she was standing in his stomach, he screamed, she squealed, "You two look so cute together!"

"What are you talking about you insane spirit girl thing? Have all these years finally gone to your head?"

"I'm not that old!"

"So what?"

"It's obvious you like him!"

"So what?" He was repeating himself…so what?

Dark just continued to stare at the ceiling angsting about everything he could while the two unseen figures argued. He didn't know about one of the figures passing through his body either, otherwise, he would've freaked out big time.

The spirit huffed, "No more staring for you!"

She ran her bells and they disappeared just in time to miss out of Dark's silent musing, "I hope Krad goes…I really miss him…"

-a-n-g-s-t--a-n-g-s-t--a-n-g-s-t-

They ended up in the same house, Krad rolled his eyes, "I'm going back up."

"No! Don't you dare! Look at the bunny first!"

Krad looked over at the rabbit asleep on the couch, "…what?"

"It's so cute!" She said squealing again.

The blonde's eye twitched, "You brought me down just to show me the rabbit?" I could've been watching Dark!

"What's wrong with that? It's cute and you can't deny it."

"I can so."

"Can not."

"Can so."

"Can not."

"Can so."

"You're just angry about not getting to stare at your lover boy."

Krad blushed, "I don't stare and I am not!"

"Yea you are!"

"No I'm not!"

"Yea you are!"

"No I'm not!"

"Yea you are!"

By that time, With had woken up and watched the two, after all, he was an animal and animals had special senses that allowed them see beyond the naked-eye-ness of people's naked eyes…maybe it was because their eyes were dressed? Did rabbits dress up their eyes? What about cats and dogs…and iguanas? What about penguins? Anyways, the rabbit looked up and kyu'ed happily and leapt for the blonde, of course, he leapt right through the male and landed on the floor with a thud.

Towa stared in horror then pointed the finger of accusation, "Oh my god you killed him!"

And of course, Krad stood his ground to defend himself, "I did not!"

"Yes you did!"

"No I didn't!"

"Yes you did!"

"No I didn't!"

"Yes you did, now what are you going to do about it?"

Krad looked down at the rabbit which was lying in his foot, he took a step back, "I dunno…" Was he supposed to know?

"What do you mean you don't know? The rabbit's going to die!"

"No he's not, the worse that can happen is if he becomes a little crippled rabbit." Saying that didn't help with the situation.

The spirit began to cry, "You're so cruel! If the bunny dies it's all your fault!"

"No! You brought us down here!"

"It was you he was jumping for!"

He ran out of things to say, "…so what?"

The spirit began to cry very loudly, she was practically wailing, "Now the bunny's going to die and everyone's going to be sad including that hottie you were talking to and that cute boy and the other cute boy he was hugging and the rest of the family too! And it's all your fault! And all you can say is so what!? You're so cruel! How can you live like that? How can you live with yourself? Have you no shame? Probably not, but still! Ugh! How could you? The poor bunny!"

His mind only managed to take in the words bunny, die, sad, hottie, cute, cute, hugging, fault, what, cruel, live, shame, ugh, you, bunny. The blonde raised a brow and stared at the girl, "…what on earth are you babbling about?"

"You're such a meanie!" She sobbed, kneeling on the ground to get more of a dramatic effect.

"I see…lady-"

"Towa-chan!"

"Err…right, Towa-chan…you've got to calm down!"

"How can I? The rabbit's going to die and it's all your fault! And I'm going to get blamed for it and I'll probably get this really cool robe taken away from me and my bells and all these other really cool things I got for taking up this job! This is all your fault Krad! All your fault!"

"Am I supposed to be feeling guilty about this?"

She gasped, "You-"

They both fell silent as a figure headed down the stairs, it was Dark, rubbing his eyes tiredly, he had heard the thud and decided to check it out, "With? What are you doing on the ground?"

Towa nudged the blonde, emerald eyes narrowing slightly, "Feel guilty…feel very guilty…"

"It's not working, the only thing I feel bad about is not getting my sleep." And making Dark go all angsty which made him look really cool which made Krad want to go to the party very badly but his pride stood in his way, standing very tall and wide so he couldn't really get around it. He was being bullied by his own pride…how strange.

The spirit sighed, "You'll learn…just you wait, your last appointment, you're seeing the professional."

Krad muttered sarcastically, "Wow…I'm scared now…"

Towa crossed her arms and went for the threatening look, "You should be."

Krad just gave her a bored look, "Uh huh…"

"Yup, you should be, he usually does the job, really well too, we don't know how but he just does."

"What are you trying to get at?"

She tsk'ed and waggled her finger in his face, "Just you wait…"

By that time the blonde figured she was stalling for time, "Just get to the point already."

She looked at her watch and laughed nervously, "Well I'm out of time, time to take you back you cruel cruel child…"

She rang the bells once more and they ended up in his bedroom once more, the only thing that he could think of was…finally! Krad sighed, she was probably stalling to end the whole 'appointment' thing. There was a tap and he looked over and groaned, "So soon? Normal cliché-ness would allow the victim to sleep a bit first!"

The figure in the black robe merely grabbed him by the sleeve and they were off.
