How Corpse Party should have ended

Chapter 15 Christmas day

Naomi's POV

I awake to the thumping of footsteps coming from upstairs. A moment later, the kids come running downstairs, their faces lit up like the Chistmas tree.
Yuki darts around the room, rousing everybody shouting, " Wake up! Wake up! It's Christmas!"
Tokiko and Ryou sit side-by-side, shaking and checking every present under the tree to see if it's theirs.
Yuu looks excitedly at the many stockings lined up on the mantle, his eyes brightening as he catches sight of his.
I poke Seiko beside me, rousing her into sleepily opening her eyes.
" Wake up! It's christmas!" I shout at her. Her eyes pop open, and she jumps up in a flash.
She squeals happily, and goes around waking everybody who Yuki didn't wake up. I hear a surprised yelp as Seiko slaps a sleeping Satoshi across the face.
Mayu slowly sits up, wiping her eyes. Rosie sleeps cuddled up in her lap. A yawn escapes the puppy's mouth.
" Morning, baby!" Mayu giggles, rubbing the top of Rosie's head. The puppy licks her fingers.
While the rest of our group and the parents get up, the children wait impatiently. Tokiko paces around, while Yuki sits there looking as if she would kill us if she had to wait anymore.

" Okay, guys. Open your stockings." I finally relent. They jump up in joy. All together, they race for the mantle.

Within a minute, all the stockings are empty. Their contents, spilled out on the floor in colourful piles. Toys and candy and little pet clothes litter the floor around the children.

" Look at this! Look at this!"

Tokiko, her mouth brown with chocolate, lifts up a little pink kitty sweater in her hands. " It's so cute!" Yuki laughs as she lifts up a matching one.
" Twins!"
Meanwhile, Rosie the little puppy runs around, grabbing little knick-knacks in her teeth and flinging them around. Mayu scoops the little animal up into her hands, cuddling her to her cheek.

With a yawn, Morishige sits up sleepily. He wipes his eyes, reaching out with one hand for his glasses.
" Here, Shige-nii." Mayu says. She leans over and puts them in his hand.
Morishige smiles. " Thanks, Mayu."
As he fixes his glasses on the bridge of his nose, the last of us wake up. Yuki, already done with her stocking, glares impatiently at us. Her mother smiles.
" Fine."

Yuki's face lights up in an instance, and she, along with the other kids, lunge for the tree.
Shuffling and ripping sounds grow louder as the minutes pass, and the pile of wrapping paper grows bigger and bigger. Clothes, plushies, books, toys, and sweets litter the floor, stacked in piles.

Yuki sighs happily as she unwraps her last present.
" I hope that wherever Sachi is right now, that she's having a good christmas too."
She's never mentioned her former killer up until now, and her comment takes me by surprise.
" That's very nice of you to think, Yuki." I smile. She grins back at me.
" Naomi-san!"
Yuki's kitten is curled up against a cat plushie, nuzzling its head in the side.
" Awwwww! She likes it!" Tokiko laughs.
Yuu's hands creep forward towards the kitten, and then scoops her up. She mewls in surprise. He kisses it's cheek, giggling. " Hey little cutie! Merry Christmas!"

Ayumi looks out the window, and notices that it had snowed profusely last night, and the snow was up to our waists in the yard.

" Guys! Guys! Look!" She squeals,pointing out the window. We quickly get our winter clothes on, and all rush outside.

It's gently snowing, and we have a blast playing in the white powder. Ayumi sneaks up behind Yoshiki and stuffs a snowball down his shirt, laughing her head off as he falls to the ground screaming. He then trips her with his arms, and she goes face-first into the snow. Seiko tries to stuff a snowball down my shirt, but I twist around and stuff one down her shirt.

" Oh no you didn't!" She splutters. She tackles me, and within moments we're on the ground, laughing.

" Come on Shige-Nii!" Mayu whines. "Come and play in the snow!" Morishige shakes his head.
" No thanks. I don't like getting wet." He said from the deck. Suddenly he lurched forwards with a scream, and reveled a cheeky-looking Ryou behind him. Morishige trips forward, and lands on his knees in the snow.
"No-nope. Cold, cold,cold."
He starts to get up, but the other children tackle him to the ground.
" Stop it, I really don't like-"
"Too bad!" Ryou cuts him off, laughing. Mayu joins in, wrestling him around, and Morishige looks like a snowman by the time it's done. He groans good-naturedly and says, "Still don't like getting wet."
Mayu giggles. "Shige-nii, you aren't any fun!"
He eyes her sternly, before calmly reaching towards the ground. He shoots up like a rocket, and Mayu stumbles back with a squeal, snow in her face.
" How's that for not fun?" He asks humorously. Mayu throws another snowball, but it hits Ayumi in the back instead. She whips around, and a whole war erupts. Snowballs fly, people fall, and I'm pretty sure Seiko hit my butt with a snowball, although she denies it.
Yoshiki chucks a snowball, and it lands on Ayumi's face. She glares at him with such an expression that he backed up slightly. Ayumi's face spread into a sly grin, but she didn't move. All she said was, "Merry Christmas."
Several loud yells erupted from behind him, and Yuki,Yuu,Tokiko and Ryou started pelting Yoshiki with snowballs. His black cap fell off his head as he was jerked around my the many snowballs hitting him at once. He fell to the ground, groaning. Ayumi kneeled down beside him, giggling like mad. Yoshiki gave her an angry glare, but a smile took over his face soon enough.
" You sure got me, Ayumi." He said. Ayumi smiled. She kissed him on the nose, but he grabbed her by the waist and tickled her. She laughed and screamed until she fell limp in his arms.
The fun afternoon went on until we had to return home. Girls went in one van, boys in the other.
" Goodbye! Merry Christmas!" Ryou called from his doorway. He waved and smiled, until he was lost in the flurry of snow.
