это отчет о концерте в Балтиморе моей знакомой Jammie

отчет

7:30AM. I blink my eyes open and take into account that I am laying on my stomach, my head buried in my pillow, and my view is marred by the sight of my bicep blocking half my face. I sigh irritably because, well, it’s 7:30AM. I’m home-schooled, damn it! I shouldn’t be up this early! This is inhumane! I grumble and roll onto my back, staring at the ceiling and noticing I left the TV on when I went to sleep at 1:20AM this morning. And then I realize why the hell I’m awake.



Beside me, Stella is rousing from her slumber as well, her blond hair straight and neat as it had been when she dozed off the night before. And then she smiles.



Today is February 5, 2007. Tonight we are going to see Dir en grey. Live, here in Baltimore, Maryland at Ram’s Head Live. I can’t believe it’s actually happening.



While we continue to lie in bed, smiles straining both our mouths, we begin to talk.



“I can’t believe it’s actually tonight!” Stella squeaks excitedly, rolling onto her back as I sit up, resting on my knees.



“Stella, it’s going to be so amazing. I can’t believe it either! The lights are going to go down…it’s going to get quiet…and then you’re going to hear it. The first beat of “G.D.S.” It’s going to start off slow, and as it progresses, the music and fans will start screaming “Kyo! Kyo! Kyo!” And then one by one they’ll walk on; Shinya, Die, Toshiya, Kaoru, Kyo. The lights will flash on as Shinya starts pounding to “G.D.S” at that drum set, and Kyo will grab his microphone and scream “Foocha!” I’m going to die.” We continued to talk about the night ahead as I turned “G.D.S” on, and not too long after, my sister woke up.



The morning flows by so fast…we make waffles for breakfast (after a night of quoting Donkey from Shrek), and all three of us manage to take showers, dress, do our hair and makeup, and make it out the door by 12:20 that afternoon. Of course, everything that morning is completed in a rush as we have six dogs to take out, and we have one case of a missing cell phone.



Nonetheless, we make it to Jess’s house by 1:00, and we’re so excited when she returns from college with Pizza. Even though I want more than anything to leave for the concert right now, we settle for watching one episode of “Law & Order SVU.”



The car ride downtown is amusing, as always when Mr. Roger (or Mr. Rogers, as we like to call him) is driving. As we near the venue, we can feel butterflies forming in our stomachs, and Stella isn’t able to hold in a squeak which causes all of us to laugh. Mr. Roger pulls the car up to the curb and lets us out. We scurry up the sidewalk and enter Ram’s Head, smiling at all the fans lining the walls waiting for the concert.



I’m on the phone with Kei, my friend from Virginia, and before I know it, we’re hugging and trembling with excitement. We’re at least 25 people behind the first door. Kei, and her best friend Nikki, have been here since 7:00AM. It’s now relatively 4:00 and fans have been selected to keep other fans in line because Ram’s Head has a lack of staff. These selected fans are mean and irritating, and it’s not fair to the fans that are waiting to have to deal with their controlling and rude personalities.



But after all is said and done with, the lines are in order and things are starting to progress. I get a call from my mother telling me to go to the box office and ask for a security guard, which I do. 15 minutes later he’s talking to me, telling me that he has a place that he can give me to sit because of my foot. With the walking boot on, I can’t stand for long periods of time because all of my weight is pressing down on the heel of my foot. So I agree to go see it with him, and he takes me into the venue…and I think my heart stops.



Loud pounding and screeching guitars are filling my ears, and there, on the stage, from left to right…are Kaoru, Toshiya, Shinya, and Die. You know that feeling of utter insatiable excitement? When you know something is happening it’s almost unreal? You want to pinch yourself, or slap yourself because it’s just so unreal. But no…this was real. I was standing there…the only fan in the entire place…staring at four of the members of my favorite band. My mouth was slightly open, my eyes were wide, and my heart was pounding relentlessly. The security guard shows me wear I’d be sitting, and I sit on the stool he gives me. Looking up, I gasped.



Die. Andou Daisuke, 32-turning-33 years old, 5 feet 10 inches, soft auburn hair, dark eyes, beautiful lips, broad shoulders, tattooed hands, shiny red guitar. Oh, my god, Die is staring at me.



I offer him a soft smile as he watches me, and he continues to play that guitar, singing into the microphone. I will never be able to tell you what song they were playing.



When I look slightly to the left, I see the object of my fan-girl dreams slamming, pounding, and slaughtering his drum set. His shoulder-length brown/blond hair swaying with every move he makes, his glove-covered hands gripping two white drumsticks tightly as they collide with the tubs.



Shinya. Terachi Shinya, 28-turning-29 years old, 5 feet 9 inches, soft brown/blond hair, gorgeous eyes, full, plump lips, thin shoulders and long, muscular arms, and a drum set surrounding him in his own little world. Heavens, he’s the most beautiful drummer I’ve ever seen. And I’m thankful I was able to meet him back on September 17, 2006.



Next is Toshiya; 29-turning-3—oops, 30. He’s the cutie-pie of the band, the sexy bassist who wears his guitar low just to spite us. Tall, almost six feet, with shoulder-length scrunched dusty brown hair, a goofy-crooked tooth grin and pants so tight just looking at them is enough to cause one to suffocate.



Beside Toshiya is Kaoru; 32-turning-33, all 5 feet 6 inches of nothing by A-type Leader-sama attitude and astounding guitar skills. Wearing a tan plaid jacket—what a dork—and tight black pants, his long black/brown hair sways and swings with every move he makes, and I cannot wait to watch him head bang.



The only thing missing from this masterpiece is their darling singer, Kyo. 30-turning-31, an entire 5 feet 3 inches of hard, lean abs and tight arms painted in tattoos and superficial scars from years of fan-based bloodshed, dark, unreadable eyes and lips dripping words of sorrow and pain with every verse he sings and screams.



Before I know it, I have to leave. But I’ll never forget the 5 minutes I was able to watch Dir en grey practice as the only fan in the room.



Upon returning to the line and filling my friends in on all the details, we sit and wait some more. A while passes and coat check is opened at 6:00PM. As I sit on the floor, tired and sore because I’ve been up so long and of the boot on my foot, the girl working the box office notices me and asks why the guard hasn’t taken me back yet. She goes off to find him, and a while later, nothing happens. So, wanting to know what’s going on, I proceed to ask the box office again. When the security guard returns, he tells me to “sit by the wall, I’ll come get you when it’s time, and stop bothering the box office.” Bothering the box office?! I asked them a question because she told me she’d go get him, and he didn’t come back! Jerk.



Anyway, while sitting on the floor by my sister, Elise’s friend Jillian comes running up to us. Just a while ago a woman had been handing out (for $15.00 each) preorder slips, and if you have one with a stamp on the back, you get to meet Dir en grey. Of course none of the girls in my group won, but Jillian did. And she went on to meet Dir en grey after the show. She told us that she met everyone but Kyo, who had been there for about a minute before he left because he was so exhausted. You can’t blame the poor thing. And as jealous as we are of Jillian, I’m utterly ecstatic for her. Her first concert, her favorite band from Japan in little Maryland, and she gets to meet them. I can’t tell you how happy I am for her.



6:30PM arrives quickly, and Elise and I are allowed into the room. With the guard’s permission, we take another stool and scurry over to the place he has reserved for us. Sitting down, our friends soon join us.



The concert begins at 7:00PM with a band called Bleed the Dream. They’re okay, but definitely not my thing. I don’t like American guys wearing eyeliner. No male can do it like Die, that’s for sure. The next band that plays is Fair to Midland, and a singer with two random bald spots who attempts to convulse like Kyo (which is impossible) proves not to be on my like-list.



And then we hear it…



“Get ready for Dir en grey!”



And the lights lower to a blue hue. On the screens we see;





“TOUR 2007

INWARD SCREAM”



And everyone goes wild.



Before we know it, the roadies are onstage tuning guitars for a final time, and then Kyo’s red, metal crate, which he stands on and uses to rest his leg on, is brought out. Later, we laugh at how both opening acts together didn’t receive as much applause and screams put together as Kyo’s crate did.



And then it starts to play. “G.D.S” starts to echo through the room, and fists are raised into the air. With every chant of Kyo’s name from the speakers, the fans scream right along, thrusting their hands above their heads and bouncing when the music returns to just a beat. And then the chorus begins again, and fists are up.



Screams so loud ears start ringing, applause and excitement fill the room as Shinya, who wore a tight tank top with silver wings painted on the front, steps onstage. Close behind, Die walks on wearing a red ACDC shirt, throwing his hand into the air and egging the fans on. Toshiya, in a black long-sleeved shirt with wings on the back, is right behind him. Kaoru, wearing a tight black shirt, stalks to the edge of the stage once his guitar is situated upon his hips and thrusts his arms into the air, nodding and smiling right alongside Toshiya and Die. And then on he walks; the little singer with such a powerful unspoken message. Lights are flying everywhere, fans are screaming, and Kyo, wearing a sports jacket with only one button buttoned, grabs his microphone. He thrashes once, screaming “Foocha!” and Dir en grey blows into their first song.



Their second song is “Mr. Newsman,” and then “The Final.” When “The Final” begins playing, the audience’s reaction is astounding. With every word flowing from Kyo’s lips, the fans are right along, word for word. And then he lowers the microphone, his eyes scanning the crowd as he sings the lyrics, a smile upon his lips with dancing, emotional eyes, as their American fans from a small state out of so many sing every single verse right back at him in Japanese. By now, Kyo is shirtless.



One after the other, the songs continue to play. During “Saku”, the promotional video (PV) is playing on the screen, and the same for “Agitated Screams of Maggots.” When Dir en grey starts to play “Kasumi,” the fans are ecstatic yet again, and the light show is that of green and blue hues and lasers, illuminating the band in a water-like effect as the PV does.



The concert continues, and Kyo moves around stage singing his heart out, screaming when the song calls for it. During “Kodoku Ni Shisu, yue ni Kodoku,” Kyo jumps up onto his box, screaming the verses to the song. With every yell he releases, the fans reply it, loving Kyo’s antics. While on his crate, he drapes the microphone cord over his shoulders, the rounded metal end hanging by his ribcage. Arms in the air, he moves slowly, his hips swaying ever so slightly before he opens his mouth and slides his fingers inside, his nails digging into his inner cheeks and tearing the soft skin there. Blood seeps from his lips, dripping onto his chest before he smears it over his cheeks and grabs the microphone, screaming the next verses. His stage presence is enough to shock anyone, and the air Kyo has is incredibly intimidating. How can such a small body contain such a powerful spirit?



When “Obscure” starts to play, a song loved as one of Dir en grey’s best, Kyo moves in doll-like ways, his shoulders rolling and head turning as if he were a puppet on marionette strings—just as he had done in 2004 while singing “Obscure” in the “The Code of Vulgar[ISM] tour.”



Other songs are played such as “Spilled Milk,” “Grief,” “Ryoujoku No Ame,” “Dead Tree,” (to which Kyo wiggles and sends each and every girl screaming yet again), “Clever Sleazoid,” and Kyo, by himself, as the others take a minute to drink and recompose themselves, sings bits of “Conceived Sorrow.”



There are parts of the concert I’ll never forget. For instance, in the beginning, Kyo was having trouble with the microphone and had to talk to a roadie to get it to work. At another point, Kyo began convulsing and thrashing around stage, falling onto his back. I’ll never forget the way he rolled, his feet flying over his head. Elise tells me that as Kyo went down; he bumped into Die and knocked him down as well. Die continued to play from his seated position. Toshiya, during another song, tossed his guitar pick over his shoulder and proceeded to play with just his fingers. Kaoru and Die switched sides of the stage, and they yelled things at the crowd, smiling and crooking their arms toward themselves, mouthing “Come on!” and “Yeah!” When Die returned to his side of the stage, Toshiya turned to him, and they both bent their knees, playing face to face at a close proximity. You can imagine the amount of screams that received. Later on after the show, Jess told me that her father in curiosity had peeked through a window into their tour bus and saw a big box just full of white shoes. Upon hearing this, Jess and I burst into a fit of hysterics knowing that those white shoes were, in fact, Kyo’s trademark white and black creepers. One of my favorite memories, one I have material proof of, was when I purchased, along with the two shirts and the dog-tag with “Dir en grey” carved into its black metal, was when I bought the poster. With a one in every four chance of buying an autographed poster by one of the band members, I was lucky enough to buy a poster signed by Shinya—my favorite band member.



It was depressing when they walked off…but nonetheless, they were absolutely astounding. Words cannot begin to tell you how amazing such a band is, and not only was Dir en grey here for their own tour this month…but they’re celebrating their 10th anniversary as a band. 10 years old. Five men from five different parts of Japan came together in February of 1997 and formed Dir en grey. And those same five men were there on Monday, February 5, 2007, and will be the same five men in years to come as Dir en grey continues to grow, progressing musically and emotionally. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a band as connected as Dir en grey is.



Dir en grey will forever be my favorite band, and I’m waiting now for the day I hear they’re returning to an area near me, so I may see them once again.

The Wacky Christmas Troop

The Wacky Christmas Troop

Author: bl4ckm4lice and pinku_kireru



Ah, it’s white everywhere. The snow had covered the human world. So what, you asked? Well, obviously, it’s nearly the time for the joyful Christmas! The time where people share their love, exchange gifts, and have a wonderful time!



The date right now is December 24th, and as the morning comes through the window, a person wearing red pajamas woke up with a wide yawn. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, feeling exhausted for staying up until late at night, watching and writing the list of good people this year. People who believes in Santa Claus have decreased, but the number of people themselves was increasing rapidly. He wondered whether he should start giving condoms to the parents as Christmas gifts. But that would be against the Christmas Law #10987: Do not give any gift to those who does not believe in Santa Claus.



He glanced to the side and looked at the magical parchment. It seemed small, but it contains the super duper extra long list of people who would be given gifts. Tonight, his job would be long and hard. If only Toshiya the Elf would accompany him instead of Kyo the (grumpy) Reindeer…



Remembering that certain beautiful being, Kaoru the Santa smiled dreamily. His years had been so cheerful and lively ever since that elf arrived from the elf village to help him in making and wrapping gifts, replacing the old elf that had retired due to his age.



Kaoru jumped down from his bed, then he stood by the window, absorbing the view of the North Pole, his kingdom. He inhaled the fresh morning air and exclaimed, “Exercise time!”



Kaoru stretched his body from left then to the right as he counted, “One, two! One, two! One, two—OUCH!” He winced when suddenly he felt a stinging pain on his right waist. He couldn’t straighten up his body back, he cursed, “For F sake! My waist! Damn, I’m really getting old!”



He encouraged himself and grabbed his almighty Santa Claus uniform, so he could start his work as soon as possible. Time is money! Well… not that he get any money from all this. He wasn’t one of those fake Santas on the shopping malls.



“Santa Kaoru, breakfast is ready!” A knock on his door came along with the sweet voice of the one he had been dreaming of. Kaoru rushed to the door and opened it with a wide smile. “Good morning, Toshiya!”



Toshiya the Elf smiled back to him, “Good morning!” Kaoru was nearly overwhelmed by the angelic smile, but didn’t have the chance to comment at that as Toshiya had already turned and began to walk towards the dining room. The older man snickered at the view of Toshiya’s little butt wrapped with a short skirt. For once, Kaoru was glad that he was the one who picked the elf uniform.



Just as he was about to eat, Kaoru noticed Toshiya walked away from the dining table. “Hey, Toshiya, where are you going?”



“Hm? Of course I’m going to wrap more gifts!”



“Can’t you stay until I’m done with breakfast? I’m going to the Gift Factory too after this.”



“But there are still so many gifts—.”



Kaoru fixed him a firm stare, “Just tell those Totchis to go ahead and do it. You’ll come with me later.” He saw Toshiya was about to protest, so he added. “Santa’s order.”



Toshiya sighed in defeat. He closed his eyes and blew to the top of his palms. Some tiny lights appeared and fluttered around. The lights turned bigger and finally, some hand-sized elves with the same looks as Toshiya jumped down to the floor.



“Chi! Chi! Chi!” The small duplicates chirped at their maker. Toshiya smiled at them, “Now, Totchi, you go ahead to the Gift Factory and work on the gifts. I’ll go there later.”



All of them gave Toshiya a salute, “Chi!” Then they run outside.



Kaoru chuckled, “They’re so cute, especially because they have the exact same face as you.”



Toshiya blushed as he caught the hidden praise of himself being cute. Kaoru had always told him things like that, and Toshiya would never get used to it. Well, in the elf village, Toshiya was a standout. But to have a Santa telling you things like cute and beautiful and other praises would make you blush, right? Santa was their king after all. Not to mention that this Santa is still young and handsome, replacing his father just a few years ago.



“And the food tastes good like usual!” Kaoru spoke more, “You’ll really make a good wife!”



Toshiya blushed more and snapped, “I’m a boy! Would you stop teasing me like that?”



Kaoru held back his chuckle as he saw Toshiya turned his back towards Kaoru, the blush still visible as it was spread to Toshiya’s elfish ears, which as usual twitched adorably whenever Toshiya was feeling ashamed.



xxx



“CHIIIII!!” The Totchis welcomed as Kaoru arrived at the factory with Toshiya.



“Morning, everybody!” Kaoru greeted and walked along the red-carpet aisle. “Work hard, people! Today’s Christmas Eve!”



The situation inside the factory was full of activities, starting from making toys, then wrapping all of them one by one, and lastly labeling the gifts.



Toshiya was so busy that he didn’t notice that Kaoru was watching at him with dreamy face right now. Toshiya always look adorable and Kaoru felt like he wanted to hug the pretty elf. After a few hours, Toshiya stopped his activity, wanting to rest his mind and body for a second. He let out a tired sigh and looked up. His eyes met with Kaoru’s, who greeted with his charming smile, “Tired?” He asked with loving voice.



Toshiya nodded, “A little”



Kaoru brought his face closer and brushed Toshiya’s hair. “Why don’t you take a rest?”



Toshiya shook his head. “NO! I can’t do that! I must finish my job before the night’s come!”



“Well you can leave it to the other Totchis. There were not many gifts left anyway!”



“NO!” Toshiya said firmly and continued his job to show that he was serious.



Kaoru stared at him in admiration. The elf was always taking his job seriously and that only made Kaoru fell in love further with him.



Toshiya stole a glance and raised his eyebrows, “Kaoru, why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to work?”



“I’ve already finished my job yesterday, so now I want to look into your beautiful face all day long.” Kaoru answered honestly, making the elf blushed and as always, his ears twitched.



“But you’re disturbing me from my work!” Toshiya ducked his head down, pretended to get mad.



Kaoru pouted, “Eh? Why’s that?”



In the middle of their chat, one little Totchi came, carrying a gift ten times bigger than itself for Toshiya. The little Totchi tripped over nothing and fell. “CHIIIIIIII~!” Toshiya and all the Totchis cried when the clumsy Totchi’s chin hit the floor.



The Totchis were part of Toshiya, or in another word, Toshiya and The Totchis were ‘one’. When one of them was hurt, the others would feel the same things too.



Toshiya rubbed his chin and winced, about to reach out for the fallen Totchi, but Kaoru was faster to help that Totchi. The Santa gently scooped the little duplicate and put it on top of his hand. “Here, here, are you okay?”



“Chiii…” Totchi sobbed and whined. Kaoru smiled and leaned in, nuzzling it with his nose. “It’s okay now…”



That Totchi, along with the others and Toshiya himself, felt ticklish and giggled, forgetting about the pained feeling on their chins.



Kaoru always felt amazed whenever something like this happened. They were all too cute. Kaoru grinned as a kinky idea popped out of nowhere on his head. ‘Hmm…I’ve had peeked Toshiya’s underwear before! I wonder if the little Totchi’s wearing underwear too behind the mini skirt…’ He thought quietly and raised Totchi’s skirt with his big finger.



“Aaa.” That was the only response from the smug Santa.



Toshiya and his minis blushed hard. “Kaoru!” Toshiya fumed and snatched that Totchi away from Kaoru’s hand. “Is that what a Santa supposed to be doing?!” Unexpectedly, Kaoru pulled Toshiya towards him, making the elf fell right to his lap.



“Eh, Toshiya,” Kaoru spoke in a low voice, “Would you go delivering gifts with me tonight?”



“What are you saying?!” Toshiya widened his eyes, “There has never been an elf going with Santa before!” He averted his eyes, “B-besides, I’ll be busy preparing for next year’s gifts.”



“There was no rule that forbids an elf to go outside the North Pole Kingdom with Santa.” Kaoru scooted closer to Toshiya, convincing the elf to accompany him.



“But I’ll be busy—.”



“Aw, come on! It’s only for one night! The journey would be much more fun with you around! Kyo was not exactly a talkative person—I mean reindeer.”



Toshiya hesitated. Would it be really okay? Would the elf elder scold him? Would Toshiya be the talk of the elf village because he ditched his job and have fun in the outside world? Would—.



“You must be worried too much over things.” Kaoru poked his cheek, “It’s Santa’s order.”



Toshiya rolled his eyes. Now he really couldn’t say no.



He sighed in defeat, “Alright…”



“Yay!” Kaoru threw his arms around Toshiya and glomped him. “I’m happy! I’m sooooo happy!” Then he landed a soft kiss on Toshiya’s cheek. Toshiya’s ears twitched wildly like a pair of flapping wings. He was flustered by Kaoru’s sudden action but his little heart felt extremely beyond happy.



“Kaoruuu~!” He touched the invisible kiss mark on his cheek, he felt his cheeks were burned hot.



Kaoru smirked then ran away from Toshiya, “Then I’ll see you tonight! Be ready at eleven!”



xxx



“You’re kidding me! It’s not possibly the time for Christmas already! I’ve just slept for an hour!”



“Kyo! You’ve been sleeping for a year! Now wake up and do your job!”



“You’re lying! Leave me alone!”



Kaoru stomped angrily. This reindeer was very hard to be ordered around. Kyo choose to sleep and refused to go anywhere if it’s not the time for Christmas, making Kaoru had to search for another reindeer if he wanted to travel around. The problem was, Kyo was the chosen reindeer. He was the only one who got the strength and endurance to go around the world in a single night.



“You wake up now or I’ll slice you up into dinner!”



Kyo jumped horrified, “W-what kind of a Santa are you?!”



Kaoru sneered. That statement worked every time. He leads the sleepy Kyo to the ground where Toshiya was busy putting the gifts into the Santa cart. Kaoru took the lashes and tied it to Kyo. When he was done, he patted Kyo’s head, ignoring the growl from the supposedly tame reindeer.



“Are we ready, Toshiya?” He asked to the elf.



Toshiya looked around and smiled, “I guess.”



“Then hop in! We’re off!”



xxx



The cart flied up in the high sky. Toshiya yelled excitedly when they went through a large white fluffy cloud. “KYAA~!”



Kaoru smiled at seeing him happy like that while Kyo mocked, “Huh! So childish!”



They finally reached the human world and Toshiya peeked down. Toshiya’s eyes and mouth went wide in amazement. “Wooooww…”



The city was bathed with bluish-green, red, and yellow light. From up there, it looked like a very giant Christmas tree. Toshiya bounced in the chair, pulling Kaoru’s arm shirts. “Kaoru! Look, look! It’s so beautiful!”



Kaoru stared lovingly at him and his arms moved to wrap Toshiya’s body from behind and placing his face to Toshiya’s cheek. Toshiya was too lost in his own enthusiasm and didn’t notice the hug.



Kyo informed the current situation. “We’re going to land now! Fasten your seat belts!”



“We’re landing! We’re landing!” Toshiya exclaimed and bounced even more, unconsciously freed himself from Kaoru’s embrace. Kaoru sweatdropped, “Toshiya, don’t get too excited, okay?”



Toshiya ignored Kaoru’s words and kept bouncing. Kaoru shook his head but let him did that. Kaoru ordered, “Alrighty! To the first house, Kyo!”



“Roger!” Kyo replied and maneuvered the cart to the particular house.



xxx



Kaoru appeared from the chimney, huffing heavily. “Gah! This family barely cleans their chimney!” He glanced up and saw that Toshiya was looking at him in awe. “What?”



“I’m still amazed at how the Santa uniform works its miracle. You could fit into that small chimney…”



“He was saying that you seemed too fat to fit into any chimney.” Kyo yawned.



Toshiya shook his head, “I didn’t mean that!”



Kaoru smacked Kyo’s head, “No more badmouthing your Santa!” Kyo glared at him, but he ignored it and said. “Off to the next house!”



xxx



“Okay! Next!” Kaoru hopped into the cart.



They left to the next house. On their way, Toshiya saw something that caught his interest. “Kaoru! It’s you!” Toshiya pointed down far to the earth.



“Huh? Me?” Kaoru scrunched his face then with a big curiosity he peeked down to where Toshiya’s finger pointed to…



Kaoru jawdropped. “What the—“



A Santa Claus statuesque.



“So cute!”



“It is not! Why humans always think that every Santa Claus was fat and old?!” Kaoru frowned.



“But somehow the image fits with the name of ‘Santa Claus’!” Toshiya said, didn’t even mean anything bad as he said that.



But Kaoru thought the opposite, “Are you trying to say that I’m ugly, old and fat!?”



“Well, in fact you are.” Kyo cut in.



“Silence!” Kaoru yelled angrily.



Toshiya touched Kaoru’s hand, spoke in innocent loveable way, “I didn’t mean that way. But Kaoru, even if you’re ugly, old, and fat…” Toshiya ducked his head and Kaoru could see the twitching ears. “…Everyone would still like you…”



Kaoru leaned in, “Including you?”



Toshiya nodded shyly, making Kaoru’s heart melted. “Toshiya…”



The elf turned his head to the side, averting his attention to the view down there, although he wasn’t actually looking at them. But then another object excite him again, “KYAAAA! There’s a big Santa Claus statue! And he’s waving his hand!”



Kaoru rolled his eyes, not interested on seeing another ‘him’.



Kyo was amazed when he heard the statuesque made a ‘Hohohoho’ laugh. “Wow! Big ‘un! This dude can wave and laugh!”



Toshiya slid half of his body and hanged on to the arm of the cart, wanting to have a closer look. “Waaa…so cute—AH!”



He felt himself fell from the cart and his body flew down to the city like a feather. He didn’t realize at first what was happening but then he screamed from the top of his lungs, “KAORUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!!!!!”



“TOSHIYA!!!!” Kaoru screamed in panic. “KYO!! AFTER HIM!”



Kyo turned his body and ran after the falling body. He ran as fast as he could, but the heavy wind took Toshiya faster away from them. “I can’t! The wind’s too strong!” In no time, they had lost sight of Toshiya. “Kaoru! We’ve lost him!”



“SHIT!!” Kaoru cursed. Because Toshiya had fell from the cart, that means he could be seen by humans. Added to the fact that Toshiya barely knew anything in this world, who knows what might happen? His brain worked quickly and he decided to ask the two people who might be able to help him.



“Kyo! Land on a place where there’s a snowman and a Christmas tree!”

“~UUUUUUUUUUUUUU—KYA!” Toshiya landed on a big mountain of snows, buried deep down inside.



Nothing happened for a few seconds and then Toshiya’s head popped out from the snows. “Kaoru…?” He looked around. Kaoru wasn’t there. Kyo wasn’t there. There was nobody. He started to feel scared for being alone in unknown place. “Kao~” Then he was shed in tears. “HUWWWWEEEEEEEEE~!!!”



Toshiya cried himself in the deserted city for some time. After he felt there were no tears left, he stopped crying, though he was still sobbing. He thought that he had to do something. Then he helped himself out from the snow and walked to the road. He didn’t like being alone, his eyes were searching for any hints of living creatures, whether it was humans or animals.



He headed to a place that was full with houses and his feet directed to a big hall. Toshiya stopped to read a small board of announcement, it said ; ‘COSTUME PARTY’. He tilted his head, thinking about what he should do. Then decided to come in to the house.

Kaoru jumped off the cart and hurried to the snowman outside a house. He leaned in and whispered, “Shinya, I need your help.” He waited for a while before the snowman’s body suddenly shook and a face popped out from the front of the snowman’s head.



It was Shinya the Snowman. He controlled the snow and made sure that no snowman melted before the Christmas ended. “What’s wrong, Kaoru?” Shinya asked.



“Toshiya fell off the cart and I lost him.” Kaoru explained the situation.



“Toshiya the Elf?” Shinya raised an eyebrow, “What’s an elf doing in your cart?”



“I asked him to accompany me. I can’t lose him.” Kaoru said, “Please help me find him through your snowmans! You can see through any snowman’s eyes and enter their body, right?”



Shinya nodded. “I’ll try my best.” Then his face disappeared and replaced back by the snowman’s stone eyes and carrot nose.



Kaoru rushed inside the house, through the chimney of course, because he was too used to it. If Shinya the Snowman could search outside, it’s time to contact Die the Christmas Spirit who could search the inside of places. As a Christmas spirit, Die could appear and see through any kind of Christmas tree, even fake ones, where the spirit of Christmas gathered the most. Kaoru approached the Christmas tree in the middle of the living room and whispered, “Die, please come here for a sec.”



He didn’t have to wait long before a face popped out from the huge star on top of the tree. “Hey Kaoru! Aren’t you supposed to deliver gifts?”

He entered the crowded house, wondering what were these people doing. “Eh? Peter Pan from Neverland?” He blinked, now that he looked around, there were many recognizable people. But is it just him or their faces were kind of different from the ones he remembered?



Another familiar person walked passed him and Toshiya turned his head towards the person, “Fairy Godmother!”



The fake fairy godmother turned her head, “Yes?”



“It’s me, Toshiya the elf! I need your help to go back to North Pole!”



“North what?” She was confused.



“North Pole! Or at least could you tell Santa Kaoru that I was here?!”



“Oh, dear! I don’t know what the heck are you talking about?” She raised her shoulders and left Toshiya alone.



Toshiya was trying to catch her, but the room was too crowded, so he missed her. Toshiya turned around and bumped to someone that was standing before him. Toshiya fell on his butt, whining, “Oww~! It hurts!”



“Hey, boy! Watch out when you’re walking!!”



“I’m sorry—“ Toshiya looked up then gasped when he saw who was standing in front of him. “Captain Hook?!”



Toshiya stood up hurriedly and ran away with frightened face, screaming, “KYAAAAAAAA~!!”.



The Captain Hook imitator was puzzled by the reaction and asked to his friend, a Medusa-costumed woman. “What’s wrong with that kid?”



xxx



“Kaoru! I saw Toshiya in a hall where a costume party is being held!”



“WHERE’S THE HALL?!”



“It’s two blocks from here. A huge hall and a huge sign, you wouldn’t miss it—WAIT! KAORU! TOSHIYA HAD RUN OUTSIDE!” Die groaned when he saw Kaoru already took off full speed with Kyo.



The Santa was beginning to feel nervous. Toshiya had been missing for hours now. He saw the huge ‘costume party’ sign right on the place Die told him, so he rushed inside, leaving Kyo outside.



‘HO SHIT’ was the first thing that appeared on his mind when he entered. Costume party indeed. Everyone was wearing costumes of characters from fairy tales et cetera. The only result from his thorough searching inside the hall was a conclusion that Toshiya must’ve freaked out and ran outside already. There was a person dressed as Captain Hook, and the real man once kidnapped Toshiya when he was still a little elf.



So, no Toshiya in here.

Die’s face popped out of a Christmas tree, and coincidentally, Shinya’s face popped out from a snowman right next to him. Die grinned widely, “SHINYA!”



Shinya turned his head in surprise, “D-Die?!” His face turned irritated. “What the hell are you doing here?!”



“Ow! What’s with that look? I’m hurt! Here I am, so happy to see you, oh such whiteness and round body!”



“Of course I’m white and round! I’m a snowman! Stop calling me pretty, you lanky-green-leaved-pointy tree!”



“I’m hurt! I’m hurt! How could you call me that?”



“Look!” Shinya glowered, “I’m not into Christmas tree, ok?! Leave me alone!”



“Toshiya!”



“Eh? Were you asked by Kaoru to look for Toshiya too?”



“No—I mean yes, I mean THERE’S TOSHIYA!”



“Wha—Oh Toshiya! Damn, he didn’t see us! Quick! After him! Oh, and tell Kaoru!”



“It’s really hard to move with a tree’s body, you know…” Die decided to stop jumping after Shinya, concentrating on telling Kaoru first. He closed his eyes, trying to find any trees, the closest one to wherever Kaoru was. “Damn, it’s hard!”



“Well, try harder!”



“Alright, alright! Just be quiet!” Die snapped then focused his mind. “Gotcha!”



xxx



Kaoru hit his fist to a table where foods and drinks were served. “Damn! Where is he?!”



“Kaoru!” A squeaky voice could be heard, but Kaoru didn’t where that came from. Kaoru looked around. “Who’s calling me?”



“Here! In here!” The squeaky voice yelled.



“Where?!”



Die jumped up and down. “Here! Look down! Down, stupid!”



Kaoru finally looked down to the table, where a miniature of a Christmas tree was placed. “Die?!”



“No! I’m Donald Trump! Well who do you think I am?!” Die said grumpily, still with his squeaky voice. Then he said again, “Quick! Toshiya’s in trouble!”

“L-leave me alone!” Toshiya cried, curling his body down.



“Aww…don’t be scared, cutie! Come play with me! Hehehehe!” An old drunken man, with a bottle of drink on his hand, walked limply to Toshiya. His other hand was going to reach the trembling Toshiya. “Come here…”



“Get away from me!” Toshiya brought on of his feet up, kicking the approaching hand of the drunken man. The man avoided the ineffective kicks and grabbed it and pulled Toshiya closer.



“Waaa! Kaoru! Kaoru! Let me go, you-you bad guy!” Toshiya tried to hold on in his place, pulling his feet back.

Shinya saw the whole incident and panicked. “Oh, mother! Do something, Shinya!” He said to himself.



Die finally caught up after Shinya and spoke with a ragged breath. “Pfiuhh! I had told Kaoru—Hey!” Die widened his eyes when Shinya rolled himself towards the two with his rounded snow body.



“Hang on, Toshiya! I’m coming!”



Die followed after him, jumping again with his tree shaped body. “Wait for me! I’m coming too!”



“TOSHIYA!”



“S-SHINYA?!”



A loud sound of snowballs crashing into the drunken man was heard. The snowballs exploded as a result of the crash, and the man got thrown to the back. Die widened his eyes and screamed in worry, “SHINYA!” He rushed to his love, of what remains of his love. He didn’t have any arms, so he pleaded to the elf. “Toshiya! Please! Make a snowman, a small one would do! I just have to know he’s alright!”



Toshiya nodded and reached for some snow. As he was forming back his helper’s body, the drunken man awakened and stood up tipsily. “W-what the heck was that?”



Die noticed the bad guy. “You bastard! Eat this!” then shot him with pine fruits that came out from all over his body, making the man fell back to the snow. “WOOOAAAHH~!!!”



Toshiya sighed in relief and finished the little snowman, consisted of the head, the middle part, and the lower part. He put a pair of little sticks for the arms, and picked some stones to form its face. “Shinya? Can you hear me? Shinya?” Finally, Shinya’s face popped back outside.



“I-I’m fine…”



Die rushed to look at the small snowman. “You were great, Shinya! Oh, the way you rolled your body to slam that drunk guy, so sexy—.”



“Oh, shut up, Die. You made it sound like some sick fantasy.” Shinya pretended to scowl, though he couldn’t hide his smile. But then his smile turned into a horrified look. “Die, watch out!”



Die replied absentmindedly, “Huh?”



The drunken man had woken up once again and stood behind Die. He pushed Die harshly and Die was falling to the front. “WAAAAA!!!”



The drunken man cursed and kicked the fallen tree. “What is this tree doing here?!”



Since he was formed into a tree, of course he couldn’t stand up by himself. So Die was laying flat on his face, helpless like a turtle.



The drunken man switched attention back to the elf. “Hehe! Now, you’re coming with me, cutie! There’s no need to fight!”



Tears were formed into Toshiya’s frightening eyes. Shinya jumped in front of Toshiya, trying to protect him from the drunken man, but the drunken man didn’t even see him. And because he was a lot bigger than Shinya, he stepped on the little snowman easily and Shinya was blended with the snows in no time.



Toshiya cried louder, seeing his friend gone. “Shinya!”



“Are you alright?”



He thought that he recognized the voice, so Toshiya opened his eyes. His face was merely inches away from the familiar looking person. His ears twitched happily when he realized that it was Kaoru. He threw his arms around Kaoru’s neck, hugging him tightly. “Kaoru!” He cried loudly. He was so scared.



“Ssh… It’s okay… I’m here now…” Kaoru brushed his hand on Toshiya’s back. The elf continued to cry for a while, then he glanced up and widened his eyes in fright. “KAORU! BEHIND YOU!”



The drunken man already had his hand raised, holding a huge wooden stick, ready to hit Kaoru like the man did earlier to him. It was too late for Kaoru to evade him. But then another hero came. The drunken man’s face turned pained.



Big horns pricked to the defenseless ass of the drunken man, slicing his pants open. He was thrown far this time, falling with his face first on the snow. Any sign of his consciousness was invisible.



“Kyo!” Toshiya exclaimed happily.



“Huh! You stupid people just couldn’t do anything without me.” Kyo scowled. He yawned widely before speaking some more, “Really, now, Toshiya had been found and I’m sure there’s nobody that would interrupt you two, so I’ll just sleep behind that wall. Make sure to wake me when you’re REALLY REALLY ready to continue with the gift delivery.”



Kaoru chuckled as he watched Kyo’s back disappeared behind the wall. His attention returned to Toshiya, who still have the trace of tears on his face. He wiped them with his hand and kissed his forehead. “I’m sorry, you must’ve felt scared. I’m sorry that your first journey to the human world turned out like this.”



Toshiya’s eyes watered. “No, I’m sorry… If only I didn’t fell carelessly like that…”



“Gosh, I was worried to death, you know,” Kaoru wiped the new tears away, “But it doesn’t matter, what important is that you’re safe now…”



“But you’re supposed to deliver gifts…”



“I’ve told you it’s okay,” Kaoru shushed him, “You’re really important for me, you know.”



Toshiya froze when he heard those words. He fidgeted in Kaoru’s embrace, “P-put me down…”



“Hm? Why? I can get used to carry you like this,” Kaoru tightened his arms around Toshiya’s body, making sure that the elf couldn’t free himself, “You’re warm.”



Toshiya ducked his head down. His mouth moved on its own and he blurted out a question that he had kept inside for a long time, “Why do you always been so nice to me?”



“Eh? Haven’t I told you before?” Kaoru raised his eyebrows, “I like you, Toshiya.”



Toshiya blinked and averted his eyes. “I-I suppose… Well, we couldn’t work together the whole time if you didn’t like me…”



“Hey, I didn’t mean that kind of like.” Kaoru brought Toshiya’s face back towards him. “I love you.”



Toshiya blushed, his ears twitched again. “I’ve told you to stop teasing me like this.”



“I’m not teasing you!” Kaoru’s exprеssion changed to show that he wasn’t playing around, “I’m serious!”



“How could you be serious about that?” Toshiya gripped the front of Kaoru’s clothes, “You’re a Santa, coming from the noble Claus family, and I’m just a mere elf.”



“And who said a Santa couldn’t fall in love with an elf?”



“Well… it’s just not normal!”



“There was no rule about that being not normal. There had just never been any Mrs. Santa that came from the elf race.”



“But I’m a boy!”



“And there’s no rule about female Mrs. Santa too! You do know that the Claus family was born from a star in the middle of North Pole, right? There’s no need for breeding and giving birth!”



“But…”



“No but! I want to make you Mrs. Santa and that’s final!”



Toshiya went silent for a while before he spoke in a small voice, “…is that Santa’s order?”



“No,” Kaoru smiled and kissed his nose, “It’s a proposal from Kaoru.”



Another silence. “…Do you mean it? Is it really okay? Will people say things—.”



“Do you love me or not?”



Toshiya blushed real hard and his ears were twitching madly. He covered his face with both hands to hide his embarrassment. “…I do.”



Kaoru couldn’t stop his grin spreading from ear to ear. “Then so be it.” With one hand, he peeled Toshiya’s hands from his face and melt at seeing the adorable flushed face. “So cute.” He then tilted Toshiya’s chin and leaned in…



“D-don’t call me cute…” Toshiya jerked away slightly, trying to think of a way to free himself. He couldn’t take any more shame than he already had. His face felt like burning, and he was almost sure that there were fumes coming out.



Kaoru chuckled and pulled the elf’s face back, “Can’t help it…”



“B-but I still don’t want to be called a missus…” Toshiya turned his face to the side.



“Fine, then we’ll go with Mr. and Mr. Santa….” Kaoru said patiently. He chuckled inwardly, knowing that Toshiya was being overly shy and want to escape from him, which only made Kaoru more than unwilling to let go. He leaned in more and turned Toshiya’s face back to him firmly. “Now ssh, I’m trying to kiss you here…”



The distance between their face closed up slowly. Toshiya shut his eyes tightly, couldn’t stand seeing Kaoru’s face so close to his. Kaoru really wanted to squeeze him, but that could be done after the kiss. Just a little more and their lips would touch…



“Umm, guys,” A muffled voice from below them surprised the two, making Kaoru almost lost his grasp around Toshiya’s body. They looked down to see their fellow Christmas Spirit still laying flat on his face.



“Sorry for interrupting, but I really can’t stand these snows on my face anymore. A little help, please?”
