"Sorry Eiri-san, but it wasn't a dream."

"Tohma! What the hell!? Get out of here! You nearly scared me half to death!" Yuki shouted. He did not need Tohma here right now. And after the dream he just had, all he wanted to do was smoke a cigarette, and not bother with Tohma.

"How rude!" Tohma pouted. "Besides my name isn't Tohma. I'm the Ghost of Christmas Past. I only look like Tohma." he smiled.

"What kinda fool do you take me for!? Get the hell out!" he demanded. This all just had to be a particle joke. This can't be real. There is no such thing as spirits and ghost.

"Yes there is! First trying to kick me out and now saying that I don't exist, how mean could you be. But don't worry I'll just fix that! Don't worry I'll whip you into shape!" Tohma sounded excited.

"How did you know that I-"

"Simply. I can read your mind" he said cheerfully.

"This can't be happening. There is no way that this is real; there is no way that you are real!" Yuki started to panic.

This is just a dream. I know all I have to do is pinch myself and it'll be over…

"OUCH!" Yuki looked around his room to see he was the only one there. He got up and looked in the closet, and then under the bed, he searches behind everything. When he was sure that he was alone, Yuki calmed down. "Whew"

"Just kidding!" Tohma popped out of no where, scaring Yuki and making him tumble on the floor.

"This can't be real." He whispered to himself, trying to calm down. He was just a little too afraid that this all was real. He got up from the clothes and went back into his bed whispering it over and over again 'this can't be real' like a mantra.

"Do you honestly think that by saying that, everything will go away?" Tohma said trying to reason.

"Don't you get all reasony with me! If you were in my position, do honestly believe that a ghost would be standing in front of you?" Yuki said annoyed.

"Well, it does seem a little far fetch." Tohma put his hand on his chin.

"A little." he sarcastically.

"Now, that all of that is out of the way, let's get the show on the road!" Tohma strike a pose.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?" Yuki shouted.

"You'll see!" Tohma then grabbed Yuki's arm." Now hold on tight! You may feel just a little bit wheezy!"

"What are you talking a-" suddenly the room disappeared from sight. Before Yuki could ask what was happening, he and Tohma were going at light speed over this foreign yet familiar place. That when Yuki just realized that he was flying in the air.

"WHAT"S GOING ON!?" Yuki shouted grabbing on closer to Tohma.

"We're flying!" Tohma said moving from Yuki's grasp and started doing somersaults in the air.

"Get back over here! I don't wanna die from this fall! Get me back on the ground!" Yuki yelled. He was starting to feel a little sick and dizzy. Looking down towards the ground Yuki started to freak out even more.

"Oh fine you big baby" Tohma huffed and snapped his fingers. Yuki was then falling 60 miles per minute towards the ground.

"I changed my mind! I changed my mind!" He shouted. Yuki kept on falling faster and faster towards the ground. He felt as if his whole life was about to flash before him. He was only a few feet from the ground "This is the end for me!" He closed his eyes and waited for impact. But when it never came, he opened them again. He then saw he was about 6 inches from the ground.

"Hahahahahah...That was so funny!" Tohma laughed. "You should have seen your face and how funny it was!"

"That wasn't funny! I could have died!" Yuki freaked putting his feet on the ground.

"Okay, okay...I'm sorry" Tohma said whipping tears from his eye.

Yuki rolled his and started to look at where they were. This defiantly thought he wasn't in Tokyo anymore.

"Where am I?" Yuki said looking around. When suddenly it hit him. "Why are we in Kyoto?"

"To re-visit your Christmas past. We're going to see what your childhood was like and see what happened for you to lose your Christmas cheer." Tohma said suddenly getting serious.

"Look I rather not. Whether it was Christmas or not, this place never held good memories." Yuki said.

Tohma looked onto to Yuki with sympathy. He could only imagine what Yuki had gone through.

"Hey Eiri-san, does that 6 year-old boy look familiar?" Tohma said pointing at a little blond boy in the park.

Yuki almost passed out when he saw himself, as a little boy, playing by himself in the snow. He was definitely different from the Eiri he was now. He was still so happy and full of innocence. Had no idea about the pain of the outside world held for him. All he cared about was playing in the snow.

Yuki then saw two older boys come up to him. He then remembers what had happened that day at this time. He went over to make sure those boys didn't come over. He didn't want to hurt them, just give them a little scare. But when Yuki went over to them, they passed through him.

"What's going on? Did you really kill me in that fall?" Yuki said angry.

"No. Yuki you're nothing but a spirit. We can't mess with the past. It could be dangerous to the future. No matter how much you want to interfere, all we can do is watch." Tohma said putting his hand on Yuki's shoulder to comfort him.

Yuki looked stared out at what was playing before him as the memory came back...

"Hey look! It's the freak!" One of the kids shouted as they threw a snowball at six year-old Eiri.

"I'm not a freak!" Eiri defended. As he went to finish his snowman, trying to ignore the two boys. Then he felt another ball of icy cold snow pierce him. "Stop that! I'm not bothering you!" Eiri got back to his snowman.

"You stupid freak! Don't tell me what to do!" the two boys started to laugh, but when they saw that Eiri was trying to ignore them, they went over and kick the snowman Eiri had been working on for 45 minutes.

"Hey! That's not nice! I work hard on that!" Eiri started to get teary.

"Aww...we made the little freak cry! Stupid baby!" They started to pinch his cheeks.

"Stop! I'm not crying" but the hard pinching from the older boys just made it harder to hide the tears. "Stop! Please stop!"

Punch...

"You little freak! I'll kill you!" one of the boys shouted and touched the bruise on his cheek, given to him by the quivering little boy in front of him.

"No! I'm sorry!" Eiri started to apologize when...

Punch...

"Let's get him" both of the boys shouted. They boys then started to punch and kick the little defenseless boy.

Kick...

Punch, punch, punch...

Kick, kick...

"Please...ugh...I'm sorry!" Eiri started to cry. This hurt. It hurt so much. Wasn't it enough that he was called a freak? Did they have to do this too?

"What's going on?" of foreign voiced called.

"Let's go before we're caught!" Eiri heard one of the boys shouted.

When Eiri heard that the footsteps were gone, he slowly tried to get up.

"It's okay kid. I'll help you up." he help the beaten boy up. "They really did on number on you? Where do you live? I'll take you home." said the stranger...

"Are you okay?" Tohma asked with pity in his eyes for the poor boy.

"I'm fine. This was so long ago. It barely even scars me. I even forgot about it." Yuki said trying to sound strong, but inside it hurt. He could feel each kick and punch as he watches.

"Okay." Tohma knew he was lying, but just left it alone. "Should we follow?"

Yuki just nodded.

"Let's go." Tohma and Yuki followed the broken boy and the stranger to the old Buddhist Temple he used to live in. When they finally got there, Yuki felt even worse then earlier. His father wasn't exactly happy to find him in the condition he was found.

Ding dong

Ding dong

"Hold it right there. I'm coming." Eiri winced as he heard the drunken father. It was a tradition he always did during Christmas, thus the reason Eiri was in the park playing and not at home. Eiri's mother dies on Christmas Eve three years ago. So every Christmas and Christmas Eve, Eiri's father got real drunk. And because of it, Eiri had to suffer.


"What do you want?" his father asked. Then he saw his batter son right in front of him. "What the hell did you do boy?"

"Nothing I swear! I was just trying to make a snowman, when these two boys came-"

"Shut it! You cause everyone nothing but trouble! Get inside!" he took Eiri and pulled him inside the house. "Sorry my son has cause you trouble. We just don't know what to do with him."

"That's quite alright. It was no trouble." The stranger smiled.

"You're a nice boy. What is your name?"

"Tohma Seguchi…" Uesugi-san smiled and shut the door.

He then dragged his boy into the house.

"You stupid boy! You are a shame on this family! Your poor mother! She is lucky she is dead so she didn't have to see a disappointment you turned out to be!"

"But I-"

Smack...

Eiri shaked as he sat under the enraged father with a burning red cheek.

"Don't say another word! Go to your room! I can't stand to look at you!" Eiri nodded and made his way onto his room.

"I'm sorry I'm a disappointment." he whispered.

"What a shame. I get my ass kick, slapped, and now I have Tohma up my ass. That really was the worst Christmas ever." Yuki said as he lit his cigarette.

"Well, wasn't there a worse Christmas then that?"

"What do you mean?" Yuki asked confused.

"Hold on tight!" he took a hold of Yuki. Suddenly everything disappeared from sight once again. "Ready to fly!?"

"Can't we just take an airpla-"before he could finish, he was flying up in the air. God, I can't stand this. What right does he have to do this?

"None of your business." Tohma said looking over.

"Stop reading my mind!"

"No" he said simply. "So look down Eiri. Does this place look familiar?"

Yuki looked down and went wide eyed.

"What are we doing in New York?"

"To visit someone who just lost someone they cared about." They flew down and went to the apartment building where Yuki used to live.

When they got there they saw a sixteen year-old Eiri in a curled up ball on his bed.

"I don't wanna be here no more. Let's go." Yuki headed for the door.

"No. You remember, don't you, Eiri? Christmas was only 3 days after you killed your sensei." Tohma reminded him.

"Shut up!"

"You were so hurt. All you did was think of your sensei. You cried the whole time. Just like one of your novels. You killed the man you loved. It hurt you so bad. You thought you were a bad person. You hurt a man you cared for deeply and then all you want to do is punish yourself. You remember..."

"Sensei...why? Why did you do that?" Eiri started to cry."Why sensei? I cared for you and you betrayed me!" he screamed."Hahaha...I should been the one. I should have been the one who should have died. I'm the one who doesn't belong in this world.

Eiri started to pick up his blade and held it towards his wrist. The shiny cold metal touch his skin...

"I should be the one who died." he held it closer as his hand began to hold the handle tightly. "I should be the one who..."

He dropped the blade on the floor.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I can't! I'm too much of a coward to die." Eiri got in a feeble position and started to cry again.

"Stop it! Just take me somewhere else. Please." Yuki whispered.

"As you wish." Tohma snapped his fingers again. The surrounding disappeared once again.

This time Yuki was in his apartment.

"What? You ran out of bad memories?" he asked.

"Not quite. Look in the kitchen." Yuki looked at him confused.

However he just obliged and went into the kitchen. He look in and saw something he didn't think he ever see again...Shuichi in his apartment. He was singing and swaying his hips as he hummed.

"Shuichi..." he continued to stare.

"Yay! I finally did it! I'm sure Yuki will be proud. I made cookies for him without burning the house down." Shuichi giddily said. "These will go great with the present I got him!" Shuichi started to put the cookies on a plate to get them ready for Yuki.

With the cookies in hand, Shuichi began for Yuki's study as he hummed "Jingle Bell Rock"

"Yuki" he knocked lightly and looked in the room to see a hard working Yuki at his desk. "Yuki, can I come in?" Shuichi asked.

"Get out" Yuki continued to type.

"But I brought you some cookies." Shuichi held up the cookies to show him.

"Don't want them. If you made them they probably taste bad anyway"

"That's mean! They don't taste bad. Won't you try them?" Shuichi walked over to Yuki and held out a cookie for him to eat.

"I said I don't want it! Get out I have a deadline, I don't need your annoying ass here! In fact why don't you go over to Hiro's and stay there forever!" Yuki snapped.

"You don't mean that do you Yuki?" Shuichi cried. He knew that Yuki was under a lot of stress. He has been moody all week; this was the 7th time this week Shuichi has been kick out. That's why he made these cookies for him. To cheer him up. He knew Yuki was just under a lot of pressure, but it still hurt.

"Yes I do! You have been a nuisance since you came into my life. Sometimes I just ask myself what the hell did I ever do to deserve you and the bull shit you put me through!" Yuki added insult to injury.

"Well what did I ever do to deserve this! All I wanted was to make you happy! I wanted to cheer you up! Get into the Christmas spirit and give you a gift! You know what I don't deserve this!" Shuichi left Yuki's study and headed for Yuki's room.

"Where the hell are you going! You can't leave in the middle of an argument!" Yuki rushed after him. When he walked in the room he saw Shuichi packing his things in a suitcase. "What do you think you're doing?"

"What does it look like? I'm doing what you always wanted! I'm leaving!"

"Yeah, yeah...Just don't hit yourself with the door as you leave."

Smack...

Yuki touched his red hot cheek and looked down at his angry, crying lover.

"Fuck you! All I wanted was to make you happy! To love you! But all you ever do was push me away! Well don't worry. You don't have to waste your energy anymore... I'M GONE! Shuichi grabbed his stuff and left Yuki staring at the empty space where Shuichi stood and smacked him.

Yuki didn't know what to say. This is what he wanted. It was quiet. Besides he would be back tomorrow, apologizing, then after that they would just have some make-up sex and everything will be okay.

Yuki looked down at the cookies and present that Shuichi left behind. He took a cookie and bit into it. Surprisingly it was good. He would just have to tell the brat that when he got back. Yuki then pick up the present he left. He opened the Kumagoru wrapping paper saw a little black velvet box. There was a platinum ring. Inside it read 'I love you Eiri Yuki'. Yuki smiled as he puts the ring on.

"Stupid baka" he'll just have to say thank you when he came back.

"But he didn't come back, did he Eiri-san?" Tohma asked.

"Was I always so cruel to him?" Yuki said.

"There were worse times then that. I guess it got to the point where it was just too much." Tohma shrugged.

"I'm such a bastard." he whispered. Tohma took his arm as the room faded again.

Yuki looked at his surrounding to see he was back in his bedroom.

"Get some sleep. The next spirit should be here soon." Tohma faded away
