A Christmas Escape
Jingle bell~ jingle bell~ jingle all the waaay~
A man in his thirties is relaxing on the couch with a mug of hot choco on his hand. The radio is playing loops of Christmas carols and whatnots as the day is coming to its end to be greeted with the most awaited day of the year.
"Honeey, could you please take this trash outside?"
"What? But it's already late... and dark. Can't it wait until tomorrow morning?"
"Oh, be a man for once! Here!"
The man pouted trying to escape from the chore but her wife is probably immune already after being together for 5 tormenting years…
“Brrrr!!! It’s FREEZING!”
He dragged the black huge plastic while grumbling incoherent words. Once arrived to the trash can, he dumped the garbage, barely missing the opening. He brushed his hand clean, satisfied with his work. As he was about to turn around, something crashed him…
"Hey! What the-" in front of him is a figure wearing a red hooded sweater with a face covered in messy short black hair, gasping for air. Terrified, he was about to let out a shriek when footsteps of people running can be heard from the distance…
"Stop! Don't run away!"
"Damn." The figure pushed the man aside, continuing to run from whomever that was chasing the person. Then, several men in suits ran past him. He watches the scene with a shock expression. He tried to shout back to gain their attention but halted as his eyes caught something silver on one of the man's hand shining under the light of street lamps... something dangerous that he didn’t want to believe it is as what he seemed.
"What in the world... just happened?"
- - - - -
Huff huff huff…
The person, a girl to be exact, keeps running from the men chasing her closely from behind. She turns around the corner of a building, heading towards the busy streets in town. Even if it was nearly midnight with everyone already buckled up inside the comfort place called home, but this side of town is still bustling with people; locals and foreigners alike, doing random night activities in the cold winter as they prepare to celebrate the end of most holy eve of the year. The girl is not exceptional… She had made a promise with her friend that they are going to wait on the rooftop together for the bearded man with his reindeers; one of the crazy things that her friend wanted to prove to her; that Santa Claus does exist.
She slows her steps to a fast walking pace as she approaches a crowd of people singing Christmas Carols, trying to blend in with the spectators but as she turns around, the men was so close; only an arm reach that she had to take off scampering again. She was just about to take a breather but seeing as the men had finally caught up, she had to take desperate measures. After almost running for half an hour, her lungs had finally taken a toll on her. She can feel the burning sensation on her chest as she tries to inhale some short gasps of air. She barely feel her feet running as numbness starts to take over her limbs. Not to mention the thin layer of clothes she's wearing are not helping to protect her from the coldness of the season. She wants to slow down. She really wanted to… but she can’t let those men take her away. She can’t let them take her life away. Not when she had a promise to be fulfill tonight...
Just by remembering the promise, she runs off in full speed as if her energy had already been replenished. She slithers her way through people left and right, avoiding any obstacles by vaulting over some fence and chairs, sliding underneath signs or tables of sellers advertising their products. She was glad to be born with a lean stature. She turns her head to look out for the men that are still on her tail. With her speed and agility, she’s confident she can outrun those buffoons. The girl grins in glory as none of them were to be seen anywhere on sight. However, she was celebrating her victory too soon. Just as she turns back her view to the front, she stumbled upon something… or rather someone.
“Well, well, well… Finally. I caught you, kid.” The man in black shades reached out his hand onto the girl’s hood, trying to get a good grip on her before she managed to run away. He smirks as he watches the girl struggling to break free.
“I won’t do that if I were you…” Something cold was poked on her back. She’s not that dumb to not know what that thing the man is holding down her waist. The girl racks her brain of a method to get away before the others arrive to put an end to her for good. Then, she thought of something. She moved backwards a few step, just enough to feel the man’s body on her back. Sliding her right hand on the man’s waist, she glided her fingers to find his belt. The man gulped loudly, mistaking the girl’s action as something indecent. Sensing the man’s lowering his guard, she gripped his trousers, propelling herself upwards before giving a head butt on the pervert’s chin, hard enough to make his shades thrown away. His grip was still on her hood but it’s not a problem. The girl elbowed the man on his chest, raising her leg for a round-kick on his hand that was holding the gun while giving another kick straight on his gut.
“UGH!”
The man hunched in pain from the powerful blows. She might be a kid, but she had survived many wonders by living on the streets for 12 years. Fighting bullies and robbers were some of them… Knowing that the man still have the strength to fight back, she quickly slammed both hands on the back of his neck, knocking him out for good.
“HEY! What did you just do?! Hurry, capture her!”
Realizing the others had finally caught up, she made a dash into a dark alley. She keeps on running not even knowing where the heck she is now. She is unfamiliar with this side of this town. This is not her territory. She just wanted to give a visit to her friend, that’s why she is here... She turns another corner just to be met with a dead end. She contemplates on making her way back the alley but that would be suicidal. Her eyes wanders around the place searching for an escape plan when out of nowhere, a shrieking noise of a cat sounded. The cat jumps off from a trashcan nearby with a rusty emergency ladder can be spotted on top of it. Desperate for an escape, she runs hastily towards it. She made a jump on one of the abandoned trashcan, kicking her leg off the wall to push herself upward while reaching out her hand to grab the ladder. Reaching to the top of the building, she arrives to the rooftop. She steps onto the edge of the building. The distance between the two buildings is not that far. She can make the jump. She must make the jump…
The men’s shouting can be heard clearly just by the ladder. She takes a deep breath, gripping and releasing her fist, trying to release her nervousness. She puffs out some breath before doing a takeoff stance like a runner about to dash for a marathon. After putting all her mind into the jump, she runs forward with all her might. Just as she reaches the ledge, she pushes all her strength into her feet to propel herself for the long leap. She flies through the air, barely missing a flying raven. Landing perfectly on the other side, she blinks her eyes in disbelieves.
“WHOAAA! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!”
BANG! BANG!
“EEEP!”
The girl barely dodged a bullet flying by her face. She crouches down to avoid from getting hit. However, the men aren’t made from nothing. Some of them were trained as soldiers and retired only to be hired for this job. The rewards are promising; no one wants to turn down the offer, even if it is to kill a girl. Some of them were shooting from across while the others made a dash to make the same leap as the girl. Her eyes widen. She cursed while thinking for a way to avoid both from getting shot and caught. She starts running in a zig-zag pattern, a way to avoid the fast-moving bullets. Her view showed another building in front with a longer distance. She had to make the same jump from before if she wants to make it across. Having experienced the first one, she feels confident overwhelms her mind and body to take the leap without a stop. The adrenaline pumping through her blood is pushing her limits. She steadily takes off for another leap, her hands flailing as if she was flying like some bird. Just a meter to reach the other side, she felt something hot pierced through her left shoulder…
“HURK!”
The girl barely made it across as she falls down the 10 storey building, crashing over some makeshift roofs and clotheslines before landing on a hard surface. She tried to move but only groans and moans of pain can be heard. Her body feels like being crushed to the bone by some heavy boulder. She can’t even move her finger. Or was her hand broken? She doesn’t know... She felt numb. She can’t feel anything, except for her breathing which has started to become slow and desperate. Her eyes started to become blurry while she keeps on gazing onto the shining white moon. Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of a lone snow falling ever so gracefully onto her face with many others following right after. She smiled in content with tears slowly dripping down her cheeks. Her thoughts drifted back towards her promise before she loses consciousness…
Rena-chan… I’m sorry… Merry Christmas…

“Jurina… hey, Jurina! Where are you?!” Rena shouted in whispers while trying to desperately call out to her friend in secrecy. She looked down the balcony, searching for any movement on the ground below when a pair of arms wrapped her waist from behind. The pale girl lets out a shriek, barely managing to keep herself from falling down the ledge if not for the pair of strong arms around her waist...
“Gotcha.” The newcomer whispered, making the girl in front became red as tomato.
“MOU! JURINA! I could have fallen over you know…”she pouted, puffing out her already puffed cheeks.
“But I got you, didn’t I?” Jurina squeezed the girl a little bit, the blemish now spreads onto her ears… She chuckles delightfully.
“You’re cute.” Jurina release the girl while poking her cheeks repeatedly. Rena turns around to punch the teasing girl on her arm.
“Shut up. I know I am… you don’t need to tell me.” Rena speaks with an air of arrogant in her voice. Jurina keeps her dumb stare while raising an eyebrow. They burst out laughing from their actions. However, the laughing died down as both of them realized the trouble they are about to face if the house occupant woke up from the noise. Seeing Jurina who is the least welcome there, will unleash a new level of hell from the owner.
“It’s already the end of the year huh…”
“Yeah… I can’t wait for Christmas!”
“Why?”
“WHY?*SIGH* Where did you come from, Jurina… Christmas is what everyone’s been looking forward to every year!”
“Ehh… is it because of the presents?”
“Naaah… well, that’s part of it. But, there’s another thing!”
“What’s that?”
“Santa Claus! Ehehehe!” Jurina looked at the girl in disbelieves.
“Whaaat? Rena-chan, that guy doesn’t exist… it’s just some stupid Christmas myth…besides, only kids believe in that thing. You’re too old for that!” Rena pouted slightly while trying to defend herself…
“Hey! I’m still a kid in my heart… but isn’t it great? If Santa actually exists?”
“I don’t know… it is great, I guess?” Jurina scratches her head, not sure how to respond to this childish girl in front of her…
“Nee, nee… Let’s go for Santa hunting!”
“Like… shooting him down? BANG! BANG!”
“NOOO! Hunting like… waiting for him up the roof!”
“All night? We’ll be freezing up there!”
“Oh come on… it will be fun! Besides, I want to spend the night on the roof while waiting for the first fall of snow under the vast sky. We can watch the stars too! Isn’t that lovely?” Seeing the cute determined face of her friend, Jurina giggled lightly. Of course she wanted to, but…
“Hahaha… That sure is lovely…” Seeing the slightly fallen grimace on Jurina’s face, Rena linked their pinkies together.
“Promise me!”
“Huh?”
“Promise me that you’ll be here on Christmas’ eve!” Jurina can’t help but to be mesmerized with Rena’s glowing face. There’s nothing wrong with keeping a promise… She just had to be there… right?
“I promise… but in one condition!”
“Heeey! That’s not fair!”
“Take it or leave it…”
“Fine fine… what’s the deal?”
“I want… a kiss from Rena-chan!”
“K-kiss…?” Jurina wears a puppy face while nodding her head enthusiastically. Rena blushed deeply. She is always at a loss with that cute puppy face. Makes her want to pinch those cheeks and kiss those pouty ducky lips…eh? Where did that come from? Oh, what the heck… It’s just a kiss!
“W-well… I guess t-that’s fine…”
“Ehehehe! YATTA! Kissu daatte hidariikikii~” Jurina started singing while dancing like a dork in front of the blushing Rena, resulting with an endless laughing fit from her. However, the kid-like girl had to jump down the balcony as she heard someone knocking on Rena’s bedroom asking if she’s having a nightmare or something because of the noises. Rena frantically closed the sliding door, jumping onto her bed to pretend sleeping.
After a while, Rena opened her eyes… only to muffle her mouth from laughing out loud to see a girl hanging like a monkey on the nearby branch. Jurina gave her a flying kiss before waving her hand goodbye to the widely smiling Rena. The pale girl closed her eyes for a good night sleep, still with a smile on her face. She knew it was foolish to believe in Santa, but she would do anything just to make Jurina spend the eve with her, even if she had to sacrifice her first kiss afterward. Well, it doesn't have to be a KISS kiss. Perhaps... one on the cheek. That would still count, right? It’s embarrassing, but for Jurina, she would do anything to keep the homeless girl from spending the eve alone on the streets. Looking forward to the promise, Rena whispered a little prayer before sleepiness takes over her mind, unaware that God had other plans for them on the eve of Christmas…
“And… CUT!”
The director announced after the final scene ended. Rena lets out a sigh of relieve. Finally, she can have the well deserved rest after countless of schedules that day. Not to mention Christmas is just two days away. She starts walking to the backstage while thanking everyone for their hard work. That includes Jurina too. She is seen bowing and smiling in a lively manner towards the staffs albeit exhaustion running all over her muscles. Her eyes caught sight of Rena walking hastily to the dressing room. She’s been missing the girl for the days they’ve been apart but now that they’re together, time seems to be a little bit jealous for their moment. Jurina frowned and sighed, only to be caught by her manager who’s been eyeing all her actions since the time Jurina laid her eyes on the other Matsui. Depriving for their moments as both Matsui is the Kami-Oshii, the person starts to make out a plan.
“I heard Rena-san hasn’t had her dinner yet. Might be why she is rushing right now…”
“Perhaps she has other things to do…”
“Naaah… I’ve checked with her manager. Besides, she has a day off for tomorrow…”
“Eh? Really?”
“Yup. Oh! You seem hungry, Jurina. After all that running scene, you should get yourself some well deserve late-night snacks. Why don’t you accompany Rena-san for dinner?”
“I-is that okay? I mean, I thought I have another-“
“Ohhh it’s fiiiine! Don’t worry about that. I’ll handle everything. Just go and have some lovely WMatsui time ehehehe…”
“Huh? What are yo-“
“NOTHING! Now go get your Rena before she goes out alone!” the manager puts on Jurina’s jacket and scarf on her before passing out her bag in mere seconds. Looks like everything was DEFINITELY planned beforehand. After gesturing a ‘thumbs up’, Jurina was pushed to the door leading outside the building. Just as she was about to thank her manager, the person is gone.
“Haaa… Seriously…?”
Then, a figure walk passed her from another side towards the door. Her nose sensed Rena’s perfume lingering through the hallway, prompting Jurina to call her name automatically.
“Rena-chan!”
“Jurina? What are you doing here?” When Rena turns her attention fully towards her, the kid was thunder stricken. Rena sure looks great tonight with her silky hair worn down, her skin complexion with rosy red cheeks from the coldness of the snowy season plus that neat long coat, not that she would mind the fashion terror of the team E leader. Then the question lingers in her head. Exactly what was she doing here again? Her mind tried to make up for some excuses… resulting in her spouting out nonsense like a machine gun firing loads of magazines from her mouth.
“Ahaha… umm you see… I’m feeling a little bit hungry so I want to go grab some late-night dinner/snack but I don’t want to go alone so I thought perhaps I should ask you to go with me but seeing you are rushing to go somewhere I don’t think it is a good idea but then again I had to try my luck as this is the only time we had a schedule together and since its going to be Christmas we might as well make some quality time together so I was-“
“Where are we eating?”
“-thinking… EH?” Jurina was taken aback as Rena cuts her mid-sentence. The older Matsui giggled from seeing Jurina’s expression.
“I’d love to have dinner with you, Jurina. So where are we eating?”
“EHHH? REALLLY? YATTA! Nee, nee… let’s go to this place! I heard there’s some nice curry serving there… we should try that out! Let’s go!” the kid eagerly pulls the smiling Rena outside the door. Rena can’t help but to follow the energetic Jurina making their way to the shop on the snowy slippery pavement. However, her eyes spotted something…
“Jurina, where’s your gloves?” the kid immediately let go of Rena’s hand before hiding them behind her back like a child found guilty by her mother…
“Yeah about that… I was kind of in a hurry to catch you that I left them back in the dressing room…” Jurina cutely pouts while mentally cursing her manager. However, the pout turns upside down with Rena’s actions.
“You really are a kid, Jurina…” Rena pulls out her right glove. She then reaches out for Jurina’s right hand before putting it on. After that, she envelops Jurina’s left hand with her bare hand before shoving them inside her coat’s pocket. The warmth developed from their hands starts to spread towards their faces with both trying to form some words from their twisted tongue…
“T-thanks…”
“No biggie…”
“Nee, Rena-chan…”
“Un?”
“This… feels nice, isn’t it?”
“Yeah… nice and lovely…”
Jurina entwines their fingers together before receiving a squeeze from Rena, a gesture to show comfort. They both have contented smiles worn on their faces while walking in comfortable silence with Christmas carols and songs echoing along the busy streets, warming their hearts with the spirit of Christmas. They don’t have to show their moments on screen or up the stage for fan services. Just relishing the presence of each other behind the scene is good enough. No controversies, no rumors, no fans, no antis… Just perfect. Perfect enough for their managers to sneak in some shots of them from behind with hearts swelling in bliss while spazzing and fangirling of the couple.
