Deck the Halls

Chapter 2: O, Christmas Tree!


Ashke's comment: Okay, since people liked the first one, I guess I'll put up more! I'll also include my OC, Ruriko. (Her profile is at

2 days before Christmas...

Ruriko entered her house carrying a basket of seasonal fruits just after the Sanzoikkou finished their impromptu version of "Deck the Halls". Hakkai was up on a ladder hanging mistletoe, plastic wreaths and Christmas baubles to the ceiling, Goku and Gojyo were fixing up a tree, and Sanzo was reading the Christmas holiday news. All were wearing at least one item of clothing that was red.

"Hi, you supposedly grown-up guys, what are you doing?", the girl said. She looked around. "This is a pretty good job you've done decorating the place, but isn't this my house?"
"Don't let us down, now, we spent a lot of time looking for a good tree." Hakkai remarked.
"Ruriko, It's almost Christmas," Goku said. "Can't you be a little less possessive just for a few days?"
"Knowing you crazy men, more like weeks." Ruriko walked past the ladder in front of the door, waving to Hakkai as she passed.

Ever since the Sanzoikkou took a break from going to the west and lived in Ruriko's family's deserted house, minus her family, life had been a lot less hectic and troublesome. Especially since Sanzo could now go to a spa every Monday. Youkais still hunted them, of course, but no one would suspect they were living in there. Even if Ruriko was, and she really was, Sanzo's Sultra Guardian.

"Hey, Goku! Now that our big tree is set up, let's put the star!" Gojyo suggested.
Goku nodded and started reaching for the top of the tree, just as Gojyo stopped holding the pot which the seven-foot-tall pine lay.

"Gojyo! Why did you let go? It's falling!"
"What? I let go because you were gonna put the star on top!"

Goku and Gojyo: O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, How wobbly are your branches!

Goku: Your boughs are heavier than my stomach

Gojyo: It's heavier than Sanzo's whack!

Goku and Gojyo: O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, You better not fall over me!

DOOG!

The tree fell. Two muffled I'm Okay's came out from under the big green lump.

"They spent an hour fixing it, and now it's gonna take an hour to get them out of there.", Sanzo said.
