9th grade
1 weeks before Christmas break
It was lunch time and the cafeteria was buzzing with life like everyday, but this week is going to be different. In 10 days, it's going to be Christmas, and in a week, it's going to be winter break. For the break they get 3 weeks off. ( I wish I had a break that long.)
Yugi, Malik, and Ryou are all sitting at their table in the back of the cafeteria. There all talking about what they plan to do over the break and for Christmas. " Ishizu and Odion want me to go with them to the mall to get presents and Christmas decorations today after school." Malik winded to his 2 friends and he slammed his head down on the table.
" oww pour wittle Malik has to go shopping with his big brother and sister." Yugi said in a baby voice to his friend
While Malik pouted at his friend Ryou lightly hit Yugi in the arm " leave Mal alone Yugi." Ryou scolded the boy like a mother would to her child "Remember he can get a head start on his Secret Santa gifts before us." Ryou said mater a factually
Malik smirk evilly " oh yeah I forgot all about that."
It turns out that every year, there homeroom teacher has her students do a secret Santa the week before break. You have to buy or make your presents and have it to them Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of the last week before break. The only thing is your not supposed to tell anybody who you got, and when you give that person there presents you can't let them know that its you. Since everyone drew a piece of paper out of a Santa hat its completely anonymous to everyone, but you.
Yugi's eyes went wide" I forgot all about that, and I didn't even check to see who I got." Yugi finished as he bent down to his bag and started to dig around for the piece of paper.
Marik smirk fell clean off of his face " yeah I didn't check either." he then copied Yugi's actions
" same " Ryou said as he too went looking for the paper
After a few minutes of all 3 of them digging around their bags did they lift the paper above their heads and yelled " found it" making near by tables look over at them, but they lost interest pretty fast because they didn't look very long
Yugi looked at the now crumpled piece of paper in his hands, then over at his friends " ok on the count of 3 lets open them up to see who we got."
" 1 " Yugi then looked over at Ryou
" 2 "Ryou then looked across from his and over to Malik
" and…." Malik paused for effect. Then, with a nod to everyone they all yelled " 3 " and opened up the piece of paper.
Yugi" Yami and Atem Sennen "
Ryou " Bakura and Akefia Ishikawa "
Malik " Marik and Mariku Eruvin "
All 3 smiled as they read the names of who they got over and over again to them self's. They were lucky because they have a weird number of students in her class, so only 3 people got 2 people instead of one. They just happen to be the lucky 3.
Malik smiled " at least we each got the people that we like, and the fact that the teacher had everyone write down stuff about them self is a bounes"
Ryou nodded in agreement" yeah it was a good idea it makes it a real lot easier because we now know what to get them and what not too." he finished with a smile as he started to read off what Bakura and Akefia wrote down

By the time Malik was finished his face was as read as a tomato, and Ryou and Yugi were trying their hardest not to laugh. The only thing is they were failing miserably. " go ahead and laugh, I know you guys want to" Malik said defeated
Ryou and Yugi took Malik up on his offer and burst out laughing. After about 2 or 3 minutes of laughing Yugi calmed down enough to talk first " well I guess you're going to have some trouble finding them gifts." after Yugi said that he and Ryou burst back into a laughing fit
" s-s-s-shut up Moto." Malik stuttered out to his friends because of his comment it made his face at least 3 shades darker than what it was before
Ryou sighed and wiped a tear from his eye " yes Yugi that's enough, so leave pour Mal alone. Malik just don't let Ishizu or Odion see that paper, or else you want them to freak out on you." Ryou said as he took a bite of his long forgotten sandwich
" well at least I get to go to the mall today, and depending on how crowded it is I might be able to slip away." Malik said as he took a sip of his smoothie
Yugi shrugged " well we can all go tomorrow since it's Saturday, so you won't have to worry about getting in trouble with them."
Malik and Ryou nodded in agreement. They then finished their lunch talking about random stuff until the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch.

" well do you want to have the owners dear brother?" Atem asked sarcastically as he held out the paper to Yami

After a few minutes of shocked since someone finally found there voice again " I know who Yugi is, but he just doesn't seem to be that type of kid. He's to sweat and innocent for that stuff." said a very shocked Marik
" you can say that again" Yami and Atem said at the same time as they slowly got over their shock
" well you guys are lucky you know." Seth said as the bell rang
" well we're going to have to go to the mall tomorrow to get their presents. Do any of you want to come along?" Yami said then asked as he threw away his garbage
After a collection of " yes " Atem smiled " well then lets all meet at mine at our place and then we can head over there around noon."
Everyone nodded their head in agreement, then said their goodbyes as they went off to their respective classes.
The next day
Saturday 11:30
Yugi's group
" it was really nice of your grandfather to drop us off, and offer to pick us up." Ryou said to Yugi as they walked through the crowded mall.
" yeah it was pretty cool of him, but you guys do know that were going to have to split up, right." Malik stated as he put he folded his arms and put them behind his head.
Yugi nodded his head in agreement " yeah Malik does have a point, so lets split up and meet down at the food court in about half and hour."
After getting a nod of agreement from everyone they split up. Ealier they all decided that they would get all of their stuff now, so that they won't have to worry about it later.
Yugi's group
12:00
Food court
" so did you guys find everything ok?" Yugi asked as he sat down at the table with his 2 friends. He was the last one to get there with Ryou being the first and Malik being the second.
" I think so, but the only problem is that am all out of money now. I went through my whole allowance in one day." Malik winded " ohh Ishizu is going to be SO pissed off when she finds out."
Yugi smiled at his friends " don't worry, just tell her that it was for school. She is a very reasonable person, so she should understand if you explain it to her." Yugi said as he tried his hardest to help his friends cheer up.
Malik smiled a little bit " I guess your right. Thanks Yugi. So what did you guys get?"
Yugi smiled " well I got Atem a limited addition Beethoven CD, the compete Dexter series on Blue Rey, and a bag of 100 different lollipops along with a pack of mint gum. Then I got Yami a Linkin park shirt, 2 tickets to go see Linkin park next week at the stadium, and a bag of 3 different types of gum." Yugi finished with a smile.
" well I got Bakura a replica of Harry Houdini's throwing knives, a The Human Centipede shirt which is super grows, and the new Metallica CD. Then I got Akefia a pack of 60 different colors of paint, 4 different paint brushes, and a Pin Head action figure that was signed by the creator." Ryou said with a smile
Malik smirked " well are you 2 trying to show me up or something?"
" no of course not! Why would we ever try to do that!" Yugi said freaking out because he thinks that he made Malik mad
Malik smiled " don't worry Yugi, am just kidding. Well anyways I got Marik the complete set of The Grudge movies, a The Strain poster signed by the main cast and the creator, and a 3 doors down limited edition CD. I then got Mariku a replica long sword from the Roman empire, 2 tickets to go and see Nightwish at the theater in February, and a Nightwish Imaginaerum poster and the album and movie to go with it. Actually the poster and CD came as a set i got the movie for free." Malik finished with a shrug of his shoulders
" wow that's so cool." Yugi basically squealed with excitement " hey why don't I call grandpa and have him come and pick us up, so we can wrap everyone's presents."
Ryou smiled " yeah that sounds like a great idea."
" yeah and we can even see if we can spend the night." Malik asked excitedly
" that's a great idea Malik." Yugi said as he pulled out his cell phone to call his grandfather.
After a few minutes of talking on the phone Yugi said his goodbye and hung up. " well grandpa said the he will be here in about 5 minutes, and that you guys can also come over, but you have to call home and make sure that you guys can spend the night when we get there." Yugi explained as he stood up and grabbed his 3 large bags.
Ryou and Malik copied his actions and nodded their heads, and once they made sure that they had everything they left the food court to go wait outside.
Saturday 12:10
Yami's group
" wow its really crowded here. Can't we come tomorrow?" winded Joey as they entered the very crowded mall
Sigh " no we can't Joey, besides we're already here." Atem tried to explain to his friend
" and Joey me and Atem both a tournament tomorrow, so we won't have the time to come down here and get the presents." Yami also tried to explain to his friend
" yeah I guess your right." Joey admitted defeated as he followed his group of friends to the food court.
As they were sitting down Seth made a weird sound causing everyone to look over at him. " what's wrong, Seth?"
" hey isn't that Malik, Yugi, and Ryou?" Seth asked as he pointed over to the table that they were sitting at
" yeah I think that is them." Atem said as he tried to get a better look without looking really creepy while doing it.
" well isn't this just fuck dandy." Bakura grumbled as he folded his arms over his chest and put the chair onto its hind legs
" look all we have to do is make sure that they don't see us, and anyways from the looks of it, I think they're leaving." Akefia said as he watched all 3 of them stand up and grab their stuff
" oh really and what gave you that idea?" Marik asked sarcastically
" smart ass." Akefia growled out at him
" ok everyone calm down. Now me, Yami, Marik, Mariku, Akefia, and Bakura have to go and get out the presents, so Seth and Joey you guys can do whatever you want. Look, we're going to have to split up with our partners, so everyone meet back here in an hour. Ok?" Atem said, taking control so that they could get this done and get home.
" yeah what ever." Bakura said, standing up and walking away followed by Akefia after he shrugged his shoulder
" yeah don't worry Atem we'll be good." Marik said in a sickly sweet voice as he and Mariku walked away
Atem then turned to Seth and Joey " so me and Yami are going to go. Behave you 2, I don't want to be told that you guys were fucking in the bathroom again like I did last time."
Because of what Atem said Yami giggled behind him, and Seth and Joey both turned at least 5 different shades of red from the memory. They weren't allowed back into the mall for 5 weeks after that, and they had to pay this one kid's parents because the poor kid had walked in on them fucking on the bathroom sink. They kid has to go through therapy because of it.
" don't worry, we wont." Joey reassured his friends with a smile
" yeah right." Yami said with a roll of his eyes as he and Atem walked off before they could say anything else on the subject.
Yami's group
Food court
1 hour later
" hey how did you guys get here so fast?" Yami asked as he and Atem walked up to the table that all of his friends are at
" we just get done faster number 4 " Bakura said as he leaned back on his chair
" why did you call us number 4?" Atem asked as he took a seat next to Yami and Seth
" it's the order that we got here. Bakura and Akefia got here first, then me and Joey, then Marik and Mariku, and lastly, you 2. he's been doing it the whole time." Seth explained to his lost friend
" so anyways wat ya guys get?" asked Joey as he took a bite of a cheeseburger
Marik smirked " me and Mariku got the best presents."
Bakura shot him a death glare and flicked a French Fry at his head " no you didn't asshole, me and Akefia did."
Because of Bakura flicking the French fry Marik throw something at him, and that's what started a mini food fight between the 2.
Mariku looked over at Atem " so what did you guys get."
Atem smirked " well we got him Clive Barkers Books Of Blood which has all 3 of them in one book, a bouquet of different lollipops, and front seat tickets for 3 for a concert with Rise Against, 3 Days Grace, The All-American Rejects, and Thousand Foot Krutch that's coming up in 5 months."
Marik paused in his food war with Bakura to look over at them " nice, but we got better gifts. Tell them Mariku." he then had to get back to the fight because Bakura threw a pickle at him, and because he wasn't looking he almost got hit in the forehead with it.
Mariku sighed " well we got Malik the SD card that he wanted, a Walking Dead T-shirt, and the full series of The Walking Dead along with the Video game that came with it."
" nice. You 2 must have put some thought into that." Yami said as he took a sip of a coke that Joey had handed him
" not really, but don't you guys think that we did good?" Marik asked
" yeah you might have did good, but we did better." Bakura said as he dogged a piece of tomato.
" we got Ryou a cook book from Hells Kitchen, a few different color paints, and Get Your Heart On The Second Coming by Simple Plan." Akefia finish with a shrug of his shoulders like it was nothing special as he took a sip of something.
" now that's some pretty good things, sorry Marik they beat you." Seth said as he had to dodge a fry that came flying at him for his comment, and a faint ' traitor ' could be heard as he threw it
Yami sighed " well lets get going before there little food battle becomes a fool on food fight," Yami said as he stood up and grabbed his and Atem's presents.
Atem nodded " and if you guys want you can come over to our place to wrap your presents and spend the night."
Now this caught everyone's attention even Marik's and Bakura's. " yeah that sound like a good idea." Marik said which was followed by a chores of ' yes ' and a ' sure why the hell not ' was in there too
" cool, I'll call the limo to come and pick us up." Yami said as he pulled out his phone and started to walk away followed by everyone else.
After a few minutes of talking on the phone Yami close it and put it away " he said that he'll get here in about 5 minutes, so let's head out to wait for him."
" but its cold." Joey winded as Seth practically dragged him to the exits
" then you should have worn a heavier coat." Seth said back to him. Joey was only wearing a long sleeved shirt with no jacket, and there's snow on the ground.
" man up Joey." Bakura yelled back to him as they walked outside to wait for the limo to come and pick them up.
