"Christmas… meh…" Katou sighed. He had never paid much attention to the holiday. But now that he was living with Uriel and Doll, he couldn't get away from it. Doll was singing as she hung the stockings.

"On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree…"

Katou sighed again. He never really cared for Christmas music either.

"On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree."

Oh, crap… It was this song, the one that kept repeating itself.

"On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree."

"Um… Doll?" Katou cleared his throat.

"On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree."

She was done hanging the stockings. Why was she still here, singing? Why? Why this song? Why not something quick, like Jingle Bells?

"On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree."

"Um, Doll?" Katou tried again. "Could you please stop singing that song?"

"On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me six geese a-laying, five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree."

Did she not hear him or something? He had been perfectly polite about it, hadn't he?

"On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying, five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree."

"Hey, is he just your true love cuz he's giving you all this stuff?" Katou joked lamely.

"On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me eight maids a-milking, seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying, five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree."

"Eight maids… Hey! That's slavery! Not cool!" Katou laughed nervously.

"On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me 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 turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree."

What…? Was she oblivious? He grimaced.

"On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me ten pipers piping, 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 turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree."

The song… the song… Would it never end?! Katou bit down on his tongue.

"On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me eleven drummers drumming, ten pipers piping, 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 turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree."

Katou's tongue was starting to bleed. Not to mention his ears. How long could one person sing?

"On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me twelve lords a-leaping-"

"That's it!" Katou screamed. "I can't take it anymore! I just can't take it!" He gave a wordless scream of frustration before storming out of the room.

"…eleven drummers drumming, ten pipers piping, 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 turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree."
