Sorry everyone for the long wait. I've just had writers block and have had no ideas what to do with this story. So, I'm back and ready to write now! So, enjoy!

Raven opened her eyes, excitedly. It was Christmas and she couldn't wait to open her presents. As she got up to do her morning things, she only wondered what could be happening over at the mansion.

"No! Agh! Why are you doing this?" Aido fought against Shiki's and Rima's pull. "I want to sleep! Let meh sleep!"

Rima sighed. "It's Kaname's order! We have to get this ready before Alexander wakes up. Kaname wants it to be a surprise. Look, Akatsuki got up, why can't you?"

Aido clinged to the bed post. "Because, Akatsuki is Akatsuki. I'm Aido!"

Shiki dropped Aido's leg and fell to the floor. He sighed and gazed up at Rima. "There's no way we're going to get him out of the bed. It's best to just leave him to Kaname. It'd save a lot of time."

Rima sighed and dropped Aido's leg as well. Once she did, Aido was back underneath the covers and asleep.

Rima turned towards Shiki. "Well, then get up. We have a lot of work to do. And if you want to go to sleep today, you'd better get to your feet quickly."

Shiki nodded and got up.

The both of them walked out of the room and headed downstairs where they were greeted by Yureika and Akatsuki.

"Where is Kaname?" Rima asked.

Yureika, while holding some Christmas decorations, spoke up. "He went out to fetch some a Christmas tree. He also went to go with someone about flight plans...hey..." Yureika, actually being calm for once, walked over to Rima. "Do these match?" She held up a red and blue stocking.

Rima tilted her head. "Isn't Christmas green and red?"

Yureika nodded. "Yeah, but I was hoping to add more color than just that." Yureika went back to what she was doing.

"Oh my gosh! It's excatly what I wanted!" Raven exclaimed as she opened her tenth gift.

"I'm glad you like it!" Raven's mother smiled. Her father only nodded as Billy opened his gift.

Raven looked at her gifts that she already opened. So far, she had two new books, a new collar for Nightmare (which was really a gift for Nightmare...), a new sketch book, a new outfit (which her parents actually picked out okay), and a new IPod with headsets.

Once Billy was done, there was only one more gift for Raven to open. It was a small box with a pink ribbon. Of course my mother goes for the pink. Raven took the gift and opened it. "Oh my..." Raven started to say, but soon went breathless. Inside was the most beautiful bracelet she'd ever seen. In fact, she actually remembers seeing it in one of her gothic magazines.

Raven gazed at her parents with excitement. "How did you get this?"

Her parents smiled. "Oh, we've known that you have been looking at that bracelet ever since you bought that magazine. We thought it was a great thing to buy!"

Raven jumped up and hugged her mother and father. "Thank you! Thank you!"

"Haha, you're so welcome. We love you!"

"I love you, too!" Raven was already putting on the bracelet.

Kaname entered the mansion only to see it completely made over with Christmas decorations. Not one spot on the mansion did it seem to be without some kind of Christmas charm to it. Kaname smiled. "You guys did great!"

Yureika ran over to Kaname and jumped on him. "I know! We worked all day on this! Even Aido woke up and helped!"

Aido, who was finishing up on adding somethings into the stockings, sighed. "Yeah, only because you guys kept entering my room and putting stuff on me..." Aido made a face, and then continued putting candy into stockings.

"Don't forget to add extra pocky into mine!" Shiki exclaimed at Aido. Shiki was just finishing making a very special holiday drink that has been tossed down through out his family.

Kaname turned to Akatsuki, who was standing admiring the work. Kaname poked his shoulder. "I need your help on getting the tree in."

Akatsuki nodded and helped bring in the tree.

Once the tree was in and set in a good place, Yureika and Rima were on ladders and decorating the tree with as many ordiements and lights as they could. Every now and then, they spoke with a, "OH! This looks CUTE!" and "This will do good here...'

Kaname entered the kitchen to find Aido and Shiki adding more tablets than they should of. Kaname glared at them, making them stop quickly.

"By the way, where is Zero?"

Zero paced around outside of the cementry. He was questioning if he should go see Lexi or not. He knew he shouldn't, mainly because he was a vampire and all. But for some reason he wanted to.

A movement caught Zero's eye. He turned to see Kaname standing behind him.

Kaname sighed. "What are you doing, Zero? We've needed you at the house."

Zero scoffed. "I don't like Christmas..."

Kaname sighed. He moved a bit closer to Zero and placed a hand on his shoulder. Zero quickly moved.

"What is keeping you out here?" Kaname asked with some concern in his voice.

Zero crossed his arms. "I'm just thinking."

"About a girl?"

Zero turned his head as far as he could, away from Kaname. "I don't want to talk about it." Zero looked down.

"Well, if you don't want to talk about it, what do you want to do? Nothing will happen if you just stand out here. Plus, it's getting cold."

With a sneer, Zero asked, "And since when has getting cold really ever bothered me?"

Kaname shrugged. "Probably never."

Zero gave a glare to Kaname, but before he could speak, Kaname was already talking. "If you want to see her, go see her. But if you think that the vampire part of you will come out, then don't. We can't risk that kind of things."

Zero couldn't help but nod in agreement. He knew how badly it was to even think about seeing Lexi. He only wanted to see her happy.

Kaname sighed. "Look, we need to hurry home. If you want to go somewhere else, go. If not, I really do need you at the mansion."

Zero glanced down at his feet, trying to make up his mind. After a bit of thought, he finally decided to go back to the mansion. If it was going to happen, it was going to happen naturally (talking about him and Lexi).

It was already night time by the time Raven reached the mansion. She was very excited to see Alexander and the rest of his guests. Especially Yureika and Rima. She'd become quite good friends with them in the past month.

As she reached the gate, she noticed Kaname and Zero walking towards her. Confused, she said, "Hey."

Kaname nodded his head with a smile. "Well, hello Raven. Can you do me a favor and not go inside yet?"

Raven sighed. "Again? But I really want to see Alexander."

Kaname placed his hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry. You'll see Alexander. In fact, do come inside. But close your eyes."

Raven made a face, but did what she was told. A hand took hers and lead her to the doors and into the mansion.

Kaname's voice entered her head. "Sit here, and please keep your eyes closed."

Raven crossed her arms. She started to think about opening her eyes when something fell on top of her.

"Hey!" she yelled.

Raven opened her eyes only to see Aido, with some Christmas decorations in his hands, laying across her lap.

"Aido! I wanted her to keep her eyes shut!" Kaname walked over to them and sighed. "Great..."

"Whoa.." Raven gazed around the room at all of the decorations. "It's...I looks amazing!" Raven stood up to view more of the mansion.

"Really? I was hoping so." Kaname sighed in relief.

Alexander woke up peacefully. The most peace he's had since Kaname and his gang has been at his house. Getting up, he exited his coffin and walked over to his desk. On his desk was the flower Kaname was going to give Yureika. It was completely fixed as if it was brand new. Or at least never been broken.

Alexander took it and exited his room.

"He's coming out!" Alexander heard a voice yell out from downstairs. Confused, and curious, Alexander opened his door to revel Christmas stuff everywhere.

"Whoa." Was all Alexander could say.

"Merry Christmas!" Everyone yelled from downstairs. Including Raven.

Alexander smiled. "Hey everyone!" He walked down the stairs to find everyone except Yureika there. Good, I can give Kaname her presant then...

Alexander walked over to Kaname. "Here, this was for Yureika?"

Kaname was speechless for the first time. "W-W-How did you do that?" Kaname took the rose from Alexander's hand. "I thought it was gone for good!"

Alexander smiled. "Well, I remembered how much it looked like your grandmothers, and if it was, then I'd be so sad if I were you. So I fixed it."

Kaname smiled so big, it surprised Alexander alot.

Raven walked over to Alexander and smiled. "Merry Christmas."

Alexander kissed Raven. "Merry Christmas."

"So what are we going to do now?" Aido asked, sitting down, sucking on a candy cane.

"We play games!"

I know it isn't as long as usual. But if that's good, then tell me! More will becoming soon! :D Read my other story if you want. Until next time: COOKIES FOR EVERYONE! :D
