Ti's the season and as the title indicates, it's Christmas the Crosses. Pairings are YuukixZero and YorixIchiru and Kaien and Yagari (…. to a point where Yagari has no idea what's going on, but secretly likes the Chairman…) No vampires though, except Zero, although I might do a vampire Christmas if people ask.

I do not own Vampire Knight, as much as I'd live to. Please review, thanks and enjoy.

Once upon a time, in the white walls of the Cross Manor, in the snowy flurry of the frosty December days, could be heard the chatter of children laughing and giggling all through the night, for a man to come down the chimney to pay two special children a visit.

With a hearty bellow and ashes from the chimney, a puffed red man could be seen crawling out of the dusty fire place of Kaien Cross' chimney.

"Chairman, what do you think you're doing?" Zero asked, giving the Chairman one of his famous what-the-hell-do-you-think-you're-doing look.
"Waaaah, Zero-kun" the Chairman squealed, "why don't you ever call me otu-san?" the Chairman pouted.

"Saaannnnttttaaaa!!!" Yuuki squealed as she walked into the room of the empty fireplace.

"Ho-ho-ho" the Chairman tried to chuckle.

"Yuuki, you do know that's the Chairman right?" Zero blatantly said looking at Yuuki like she was 2 years old. Leaving a gloomy Cross sulking in the corner.

"I'm trying to humour him" Yuuki replied as she poked Zero in the ribs.

"Waaahh, Yuuki is so nice" the Chairman shrieked.

Eight years later

"Almost finished" Yuuki beamed as she put the finishing toppings on the tree.
"Yuuki-chan is talented, don't you think Zerorun?" the Chairman squealed as he praised Yuuki.

"I thought I told you never to call me that" Zero said as he sat on the couch glaring at the Chairman with his Azure eyes.

Zerorun is so scary, the chairman sniffed as he slowly made his way towards Yuuki.

It isn't a holiday till there's the famous Chairman and Zero nickname argument. I'm surprised that Zero hadn't hit him yet, Yuuki thought.

"Now all I need is angel" Yuuki said aloud partly engrossed in the world of Christmas tree decorations. Turning around towards Zero with her pleading puppy dog eyes.

"…eh?" Zero said, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm not tall enough" Yuuki pleaded with those scarlet eyes.
Shorty, Zero thought to himself.
"What about Ichiru? He loves that type of stuff" he said brushing off the subject.

At the sound of his name Ichiru had popped out from a stack of tinsel that had been collected on the carpet.

"You called" Ichiru said as he awoke from his dazed sleep and started pushing the tinsel off him and brushing away the tinsel from his grey locks. The only thing that was going through Zero's mind was; what the hell is my brother doing covered in tinsel?

"I need someone tall enough to put the angel on top of the tree" Yuuki said, once again trying her scarlet eyes. If this didn't work on Zero, then this should definitely work on Ichiru, more cutesy eye power! Yuuki thought, trying to get Ichiru to put the angel on the tree.

"I could help with that" Ichiru offered.

Yes it worked! Yuuki said as she was beaming with her achievement.

What the hell's Yuuki grinning about? Ichiru thought.

"Waaahh, Ichirun is so helpful" the chairman screeched as he floated around the room.

"Here are the cookies" Yori said calmly as she walked into the room, instantly changing the scent of the room from a pine fresh scent from the tree to that of freshly baked cookies.

"Yori is such a good cook" as the chairman squealed again, apparently drugged by the scent. Now they know how Zero feels!

Yori eyed the chairman, wondering if being around him and cookies was safe.

"Cookies!" Yuuki, Ichiru and the Chairman squealed at once as they made a mad dash to where Yori stood with the silver platter of aromatic cookies.

"Zero, try some of Yori's cookies" Ichiru whined as he was offering a cookie towards his brother.
Ichiru whining? I must be adopted, Zero thought as Ichiru pleaded with Zero to take a bite, which after a while he gave up on, what with his short attention span and what not.

-Sigh- these people must be on drugs, I bet Yori laced the cookies with something, Zero concluded as he stared at everyone in turn, but stared longer at Yuuki then everyone else.

"Waaahh, Yori makes wonderful cookies" the Chairman shrieked as he chewed down on more. He looked like he hadn't eaten in days, who could blame him, with his cooking and what-not? But Zero usually took over the cooking without a single word of complaint. The man loved to cook.

As they all nibbled down on the cookies, bar Zero of course, a knock resounded throughout the halls.

"I wonder who that could be" Yuuki mumbled "hope it's Santa"

"Yuuki, Santa goes down the chimney" Yori corrected.

"Well maybe he might have packed on a few more pounds this year and couldn't fit down the chimney so he has to use the door…" Yuuki trailed.

"Even if he did put on more this year, how can a man even get through that chimney?" Ichiru asked as both Yuuki and Zero looked at the now blushing Chairman who was making his way to the main door.

"YAGARI!" was all that could be heard as the Chairman squealed at the sight of an old friend.

Someone got their preset early this year, Ichiru thought with a snide remark and a grin spreading across his face earning glares from everyone in the room.

What the hell's my brother thinking now? Zero questioned as he glared at Ichiru.

The vampire hunter walked into the room with the Chairman clinging onto his arm. He's gay, Zero concluded.

"Kaien" Yagari said, fighting the urge to whack the Chairman across the head to get him off his arm.

"Yagari-sempai" Yuuki and Yori said as they bowed.
"Sensei" the Kiryuu twins said in unison making the Chairman squeal once more, forcing Zero to hit him.

"Waaaah, Zerorun's so mean" the Chairman said as he sulked and still clung onto Yagari. Dang! Thought that would work. Yagari had hoped.

"I guess we need more cookies" Yori said as she stared at the once full now empty platter.

"I'll help" Ichiru offered.

"Ichirun is so helpful" the Chairman chided.

Man! However hard I hit the Chairman, he never seems to stay down, Zero thought.

"Zerorun, you could learn a thing or two from Ichirun"

THWACK

"I thought I told you never to call me that" Zero growled as a vein was throbbing on his forehead.

"Zerorun is scary when he growls" the Chairman whispered as he clung onto Yagari.

"Ichiru and Yori make a cute couple, don't think Zero?" Yuuki asked as she sat down next to Zero and watched as Yori and Ichiru were walking and laughing, yes, the calm demeanour of Yori, laughing.

"…eh" Zero said, not looking too interested in the subject. Men, no romance whatsoever, Yuuki thought.

"We'll be back later" Ichiru said with a grin spreading across his face.

"What's my devilish brother up to?" Zero asked Yuuki, knowing full well that she knew what was going on.

"Relax" Yuuki beamed.

"What a relief to get away from that" Ichiru said

"I don't know, it was quite fun, more action then at home I guess," Yori shrugged as she turned a corner.

"Of course… what I meant to say was…" Ichiru started, now trying to figure out a good ending to his sentence.

"I know what you mean" Yori smiled as she looked up at Ichiru.

"I got you something Yori" Ichiru said as he produced a small box from his pocket.

"Oh, your presents in the other room," Yori said as she smiled at him.

That smile, Ichiru wandered, and those eyes, those soulful, innocent eyes of hers. He thought, looking at me like, like, Shizuka-sama. And that face, a face of an angel, smiling at me.

I never noticed it before, but Ichiru's eyes are a softer shade of purple then Zero's. How beautiful. Yori said as she gazed as Ichiru's azure eyes, the colour of wine, where his eyes were intoxicating enough, like her own brand of heroin. The two gazed into each other's eyes, completely oblivious that they had both stopped walking and were now starring at each other. Suddenly a devious glint shone in Ichiru's eyes.

"Mistletoe" Ichiru said as he hung the mistletoe above their heads. Apparently this was his evil plan.

"...oh" this had apparently caught Yori off guard.

"Whaddya say?" Ichiru asked shaking the mistletoe above their heads like it was a bell.

"Oh," was all Yori could say as she started to blush.

Those beautiful red cheeks of hers, Ichiru thought. How warm and inviting they look as the blood is rushing towards them.

"I guess I could give you your present now, since I got mine" Yori said as she cupped Ichiru's face and drew him into a lust filled kiss that seemed to last a life time.

"I love my present" Ichiru panted

"There's more where that came from" Yori said as she went back for more.
