"Why the hell do I have to drag this?!" Kurogane yelled as he tugged a big, red sled behind him.
"Because you are the strongest among us, Kuro-tan!" Fay said and poked his cheek, just annoying him more. Kurogane tried to bite Fay's finger off, but the mage was quick and pulled it farther from the enraged ninja. Mokona was sitting in the sled with Sakura and Syaoran walked behind them, just in case the sled would begin to slide backwards. Though Syaoran would not have even a chance to try to stop the sled, because he and the sled had quite the size difference.
"Am I too heavy? I can get off if you'd like, Kurogane-san?" Sakura asked carefully. She was afraid that Kurogane was getting tired because she and sled weighed too much.
"Just stay there," Kurogane answered. He could deal with the light princess.
Mokona bounced swiftly to Fay's shoulder and sang:
"Kuro-daddy is so strong, he's gonna get us a Christmas tree~! A big, big, big Christmas tree~!"
"Shut up or I'll tie you to a tree and let the wild animals eat you," Kurogane snarled.
"Meanie!" Fay and Mokona laughed in unison. They walked further and deeper into the forest, until the blonde stopped in his tracks and pointed enthusiasticly towards a big, dark green spruce.
"That's our Christmas tree, Kuro-wanwan! Go on, fetch it for me!"
"I'm not your damn dog, mage! Besides, that tree doesn't fit in the sled or the house," Kurogane huffed and puffed, "And who said that you're the one who gets to pick the tree?"
"No one! Is there any tree that you'd like, Sakura-chan?"
Sakura pondered, looking at her feet, then at the trees and then at her feet again. Then she seemed to have made her choice. She pointed at one of the bit smaller trees, which were about two meters tall. The tree that she preferred was moss green and looked the most lovely. Fay ran to the spruce, walked around it for a few times observing it and then leaned towards it with his hands on his hips.
"It truly is a cute tree. Hmm, yeah! This one it is!" he stated. He dashed to the sled and lifted the axe from it. Fay was just about to walk to the tree, but Kurogane took the axe from his hand.
"I'll take this, it's too dangerous for you to be prancing around with something sharp."
"Aww, Kuro-rin is worried about me!" Fay smiled goofily and giggled with Mokona.
"I'm not! You're just lethal with a sharp object!"
Kurogane acted as manly as ever, chopped the tree down and placed the spruce on the sled after Sakura had hopped off it.
"Umm, Kurogane-san... Are you sure you don't need any help with that?" Syaoran asked quietly.
"Don't... need... it!" Kurogane growled. The tree was heavy, the sled was heavier and the mage and the manju on top of them wasn't helping at all. "Mage... get off... if you don't... want to... get killed by me!"
"This will help your muscles grow, Kuro-chan!" Fay grinned. "Mokona, shall we sing some nice songs that we heard earlier?"
They started to sing aloud, which made Kurogane more and more irritated. He was this close of taking the axe and committing something not so legal.
"Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells~! Jingle all the way~! Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh~!"
"Shut the hell up!!"
A/N: Thanks for reading the eighteenth chapter of the Tsubasa Advent Calendar! Today's theme was 'Christmas tree'!
Enonyymi: Written by me again! Yay, they're singing Christmas carols (the song at the end was, of course, Jingle Bells. In Finnish: Kulkuset.)! I absolutely love Christmas carols!
Punainenpuolukka: Well, I don't.
Enonyymi: Well, everyone has their likes and dislikes. I started singing Christmas carols already in November! My absolute favourite is 'Silent Night' (In Finnish: 'Jouluyö, juhlayö', which literally means 'Christmas night, a festive night'). It's a pretty song...
Punainenpuolukka: I refuse to sing Christmas carols and I avoid it by any means necessary.
Enonyymi: Aww, boring! I can sing some Christmas carols to you! Hehehehee.
Punainenpuolukka: You have quite a nice voice but please don't.
Enonyymi: Jingle Bells, jingle beeeee-eeells! (okay, I'll stop... for now.) Thanks for reading (the chapter and the A/N!) and we'll see you tomorrow!
