Akurei-Shinzo: Merry Christmas everyone! For my fans of Hacker I'll give you two Christmas gifts! One, a Hacker Christmas, and the other, the full version of Hacker: Registered! Happy Holidays! =============================================================== Hacker: Deleted File One: A Very Hacker Christmas!

"I can't believe it's almost Christmas again!" exclaimed Naomi. She and the other members of Hacker were hanging out at an abandoned house decorating it for the holidays.

"Hey Akira," said Daisuke. "Can I borrow your laptop?"

"Why?" asked Akira.

"I haven't mailed my list to Santa."

"Remember the last time you borrowed my laptop?"

Flashback

"Thanks for letting me mail my letter to Santa!" said Daisuke.

"Sure," replied Akira.

"By the way, your mail box had this e-mail that said virus on it and I opened it!"

"WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????????????????????????!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!"

Akira looked at the laptop and saw all of his files were deleted.

"BAKA!" screamed Akira.

"Don't forget!" panted Daisuke running away. "Santa's watching!"

End Flashback

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ummm." thought Daisuke. "No."

"Well I do," said Akira. "So my answer is no!"

"Darn! Hey Naomi!"

"Hm?" Naomi.

"We're under the mistletoe."

"I don't think so!" growled Ken knocking Daisuke to the side. Naomi blinked, smiled, and leaned forward. Ken fainted.

"I'll get the first aid kit."said Akira, dragging Ken away.

"Aw man," said Daisuke. "That was my kiss."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hey Daisuke!" shouted Hotaka. "Get over here and help put up these Christmas lights!"

Daisuke ran over, and tripped over the wires right away, and then, somehow, Daisuke got himself tied up. Hotaka, not paying attention, plugged in the lights.

"Wow," said Naomi. "How pretty!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Akira!" whined Daisuke. "I really need to mail this list to Santa!"

"Should we tell him?" asked Ken.

"He's a big boy." said Akira.

"Then you tell him," said Hotaka.

"I told him last year."

"I did it the year before," said Ken.

"I'm not doing it," said Hotaka.

"Um." said Naomi. "I'll say it. Daisuke, there is no actual proof that Santa Clause exists."

"But there must have been!" protested Daisuke. "After all that's why a lot of people believe in him!"

"Historically there was a Saint Nick," said Akira. "But I doubt he had flying reindeer.."

"Then how do the presents get under the tree?" asked Daisuke.

"Those presents?" questioned Hotaka pointing to a pile of colorfully wrapped boxes under the tree.

". how do the cookies and milk I leave for Santa disappeared then?!"

"Burp," said Ken. "Oops."

"What about the Santa at the mall?!"

"That's a guy in a Santa suit, Daisuke," sighed Akira.

".Imposter! But I sat in his lap and told him I was a good boy."

"Yes." muttered Akira. "I remember."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Flashback 2

"Yeah!" exclaimed Daisuke. "I get to sit on Santa's lap!"

"How did I get myself into this?" asked Akira. Daisuke's uncle had somehow persuaded Akira to take Daisuke to the mall.

"I may be to old to go Easter Egg hunting, but no one can tell me I'm too old to sit on Santa's lap!"

"You're too heavy!" grunted Santa. Daisuke didn't pay attention to the guy and continued on ranting.

"And, and I want a pony, and, and a skateboard, and, and a new motorcycle, and, and some tacos, and a date with a really hot girl, and."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"But Santa does exist! And I'll prove it by going to the North Pole!" declared Daisuke. "Uh, where is the North Pole anyways?"

"Daisuke," said Naomi. "I think you should sit down."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Can we open the presents now?" asked Daisuke.

"No!" said Akira.

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

".Now?"

"No!"

Christmas Morning

"Merry Christmas everyone!" exclaimed Naomi.

The Hackers then began the exciting mission of ripping apart the brightly colored boxes.

"Hey," said Daisuke. "Who gave me a lump of coal?"

"I haven't the slightest idea." said Akira looking away and smirking.

"Maybe we shouldn't have allowed Akira to be Daisuke's secret Santa," whispered Ken to Naomi.

"Merry Christmas everyone!" exclaimed Hotaka. "We've all earned this well- deserved break!"

"Happy Easter!" said Daisuke. The rest of the group turned to Daisuke and stared. "What?"

The End
