Disclaimer- I do not own Zatch Bell, but I can write a good story with the characters.

A Zatch Bell Christmas Carol

Chapter 1 Christmas Eve in Mochinoki

Zofis is dead. He's been dead for seven years. (Depressing, isn't it?)

Now to the present!

"Mr. Brago!" A little boy said. "I request off tomorrow!"

"No!" the black-haired demon teenager said. "Zatch, you will not have tomorrow off!"

"But tomorrow's Christmas, Mr. Brago!" Zatch begged him. "I have a wife and kids!"

"I don't care," Brago rasped. "Anyone who celebrates this dumb human holiday should be cooked with their own turkey and buried with a stake of holly through their heart!"

Zatch exited, miserable.

There was a knock at the door. Brago opened it.

"Hello, is this the residence of Brago and Zofis?" Kanchome said. He held a pot full of donations. "Would you like to donate?"

"Will this go to the workhouses?" Brago growled.

"Uhh, no," Kanchome said. "This will be for the poor peoples' Christmas presents. What about Zofis? Will he make a donation?"

"Haven't you read the above text?" Brago shouted. "Zofis is dead! He's been dead for seven years!"

Kanchome left, miserable.

Brago walked up to his room. Suddenly he heard a raspy feminine voice saying the words, "Merry Christmas, Brago."
