All I want for Christmas is you!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh or helped design the characters in anyway….
Since it is the season of goodwill good times and good food LOL, I thought I would write a Christmas story based on the characters of the hit anime show Yugioh!
The snow is falling and school is out for the holidays. With the tournament over and everyone in good spirits who knows what will happen and with who?
(For all you Seto and Serenity fans, sorry it will NOT happen not in my story sorry)
Scene: Christmas eve, Yugi and his friends have all agreed to meet at his grandpa's house to celebrate the festive season and have Christmas dinner together ( since their parents are all elsewhere) Mokuba receives an invitation as does Seto. Although Mokie can't wait to go, Seto feels a little differently.
Mai also found an invitation in her mail box as did her pal Vivian Wong……..
"This is going to be so cool", Tea pipes up as she adds a few last minute decorations around Yugi's house.
Yugi smiles and agrees. Just then Tea and Yugi hear a knock at the door. "Ill get it", grandpa says hobbling over to the door. When Grandpa opens the door, he is greeted by Joey, Tristan, Duke and Serenity who are all grinning from ear to ear. "Hey Ya" Joey high fives Grandpa and walks on in. "Oh we brought this", Serenity smiles innocently. In her hand is a small pudding made of fig. "Don't worry we didn't make it", Tristan jokes (none of those four can bake to save themselves). "Look at the size of that tree", Duke exclaims pointing to the large green plant. "Tea decorated most of it", "I helped a little" Yugi adds. Tea smiles. The decorations looked terrific, like something out of a department store. On the top of the tree was a bright gold star that would glow in the dark when the night became darker. "Cool when can we turn the lights on?" Joey asks excited as a little child would be. Christmas was everyone's favourite time of year. Now that the tournament had ended and everyone seemed in a good mood, why not celebrate with ones that you care about?
"Who's lame idea was it to invite Seto dick wad?" Joey growls. What better way to ruin his favourite holiday than being stuck in the same house on Christmas Eve with his arch rival and enemy Seto Kaiba. "Mine", Tea pipes up, still decorating the tree. Joey rolls his eyes. "Why Tea? "Joey moans. "You know I cant stand that guy", "he's always bustin my chops about something". "Stop being such a baby Joey", Serenity says handing him a glass of egg nog. "Hey Serenity can I have a glass?" Tristan asks gleaming at his crush. "Get it yourself" Joey snaps back defending his little sister. Duke gets up off the couch and goes into the kitchen. "Honestly Tristan, "you need to be taught some manners"; Duke sighs trying to sound good in front of Serenity. "Oh and I suppose you are gonna teach me?" Tristan jokes. "God help us all then" Yugi replies laughing. Duke hits Yugi over the head then hands Serenity a glass of the festive drink. "Here you are my dear", he smiles politely. The rest of the group roll their eyes. "Thank you" she says sweetly. "So who else is coming along?" Joey asks Yugi. "Apart from you know who?" "Well we invited Marik and Bakura" Tea replies. "Yeah and Mai and Vivian" Yugi adds. Joey feels his face go red. The girl he had liked and admired for so long was going to be here tonight. Tristan wolf whistles. "Ha three lovely ladies" he smiles. Duke laughs. Joey looks at him confused. "What is that supposed to mean?" he asks like a teacher who was telling off a student would. "Well Serenity, Vivian and Mai off course" Tristan replies with a stupid giggly look on his face. "Oh and Tea" he quickly adds. Usually tea would have picked up on Tristan's goofiness straight away but she had other things on her mind. Tonight was going to be the night where she would finally get a kiss from her secret love. No one knew who he was off course, but Tea was so excited she was counting down the minutes until he arrived.
"Come on Seto lets go" Mokuba whines impatiently. He had been standing outside by his elder brother's stylish black Mercedes for fifteen minutes. Just then Seto emerges outside looking as cold as usual and in no mood for a pathetic Christmas party with some idiotic amateur friends of Yugi Moto. Never the less Mokuba could not wait to go and Seto knew that him going along would make Mokuba really happy so there he was in his black vehicle driving through the city which was lit up with decorations and festive lighting. "Wow", Mokuba beamed peering outside of his brothers car window. "Mokuba get your head out of the window", Seto scowled while driving. "You could get your head cut off". Mokuba just laughed at his poor worried brother. "We are not staying for long you realise" Seto informs an excited Mokuba. "Yes I know" Mokuba pouts. "Besides I may have a Christmas present for you at home" Seto adds. "Really?" Mokuba asks. "What do you think?" Seto jokes. Every year Seto had made sure that his little brother did not miss out Christmas; he would always buy him lots of gifts and make time from his busy schedule to have Christmas dinner with him. Mokuba peers in the back seat to find an expensive bottle of wine in the back. He leans over and grabs it. "Who is this for?" he asks curiously. Seto rolls his eyes as they pull up at a red light. He then snatches it off him and puts back in the back seat. "I'm going to need some sort of relief while I am at this thing" Seto replies negatively. "Ok just don't get too drunk" Mokuba jokes. Seto shakes his head and half laughs. As if the likes of Seto Kaiba could get drunk off of one bottle of wine. Admitting it did taste pretty good, besides the other mortals would probably want a glass or two at Yugi's house. Mokuba looks out the window again they are passing a block of inner city apartments when Mokuba sees a tall blonde walking out of the grey coloured apartment building. "He isn't that Mai?" Mokuba asks pointing at the pretty duellist who was wrapping a fluffy white coat around herself to block the snow. Kaiba pretended not to notice he then peered over to the side of the road where the snow had started to fall. "I wander if she is going to Yugi's Christmas party too?" Mokuba said aloud. "Yugi probably invited everyone" Seto replied quietly trying not to think of Mai, the only woman who had really caught his eyes since… well ever. Not including any hot one night stands he may have had with some pretty successful associates. "Hey she is an orphan too huh?" Mokuba asked. "I think so Mokuba" Seto replied a little pissed off that Mokuba would not shut up about her. Mokuba wasn't really saying much at all about Mai but in Seto's mind he was. "She looks cold big bro" Mokuba says empathetically. Seto rolls his eyes and swerves over to the side of the road where Mai was walking. He pulls up beside her and pushes the button for the tinted window. Mai stops and looks oddly into the long black car. Mokuba pops his head out. "Hey Mai" he waves happily. "Oh hi" Mai replies a little surprised. "What are they doing here?" She thinks to herself. "You going to Yugi's?" Set asks solemnly. Mai peers her head in the wound down window. "Maybe" she smirks. Seto fold tilts his head back in an angry fashion. "Well do you need a ride there?" he questions. "Well uh okay" Mai was too cold to say no and besides she didn't really mind Seto Kaiba that much, even if everyone else did.
Silence filled the inside of Seto's Mercedes. Mai wiped snow off of her jacket and smoothed over her hair. "You look pretty Mai" Mokuba said blushing a little. Mai smiled. She seemed to have this presence over guys no how old they were. "I uh didn't think you would be into this sort of thing Seto" Mai says hoping to get a response. "Ha well if I had my way I would not be going" Seto replies surprisingly. "Yeah I made him go" Mokuba smiles cutely. "I see" Mai nods her head. When the car eventually pulled up at Yugi's house Mai jumped out and made sure that she looked presentable. To her nobody would look as nice as Kujuka Mai anyway. As Seto and Mokuba proceeded to walk in Mai came up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder, Seto quickly turned around. "You forgot this" she said handing him the bottle of wine which was placed by her in the back of the car. "Thanks" Seto replied in his usual unfriendly tone. "I guessed it was for here, "I'm not looking forward to it myself but it's the best offer I have had this Christmas" she adds a little glumly. Seto doesn't say anything for a moment. "Uh Mai" he begins… She looks in to his eyes closely. "Yeah" she says shivering in the snow. "Hey" A voice suddenly calls out behind them. Vivian and Rebecca have arrived and were both wearing expensive looking green velvet jackets with a white fluffy trim. Seto backs away from the two forceful women and walks inside. "Oh hi you two" Mai says looking at their jackets. "Thank god I didn't buy that the other day" she thinks to herself. The three females are the last to arrive as Bakura and Marik are already there as well as Varon who is standing in the kitchen alone and drinking a glass of egg nog.
Joey leaps up and runs over to the three ladies. "Hey" he smiles. "Hi Joey" Mai says he then gives her a Christmas hug. "I got a gift for you its under the tree" he says happily. "Really?" "Thanks" Mai replies uneasily. She hadn't got him anything. "Joey I didn't um well", Joey then cuts in. "don't worry you have done enough for me this year already" he smiles at her. Vivian leans in and whispers "did you say Seto brought some wine with him?" Rebecca giggles and flicks her long blonde hair in Marik, Yugi and Bakura's general direction. "Hi guys" she says putting on a syrupy voice. The three rather shy males just blush and wave. "Yeah he did bring some wine with him Viv, its probably by the table where the egg nog is" Mai says snapping out of her thoughts of other things. Like her most recent credit card debt. She should have used the money she got from her previous boyfriends on the cruise ship to pay for the accumulated debts but instead she squandered it as she always does. Vivian walked on over and stood by the table which was laid out with potato chips and Christmas pies. The fig pudding and fruit punch that Marik had brought was also placed on the table and by the looks of things the punch was disappearing fast. "Is there any alcohol in that punch Marik?" Tea asked cautiously. "Mokuba and serenity cannot drink anything other than safe non alcoholic drinks". "Listen to the mother hen "Vivian jokes sipping on some of Seto's wine. "Don't worry there is not a trace of it in my punch" Marik replies laughing a little at Tea's over protectiveness.
After a few hours of mingling (except for Seto and Varon who both stayed in the corner) and in Rebecca's case flirting with a few handsome ancient Egyptian guys, the lights dimmed and the star on the tree was aglow. Serenity, who was standing by Joey, Tristan and Mai, gasped happily at the beauty of the star lit up. "Oh wait a minute" Tea said running over to the tree. "Here we go" she whispered switching on the Christmas lights. "Wow" Rebecca and Marik Exclaimed. "It looks awesome" Mokuba said. "Time for toasts", Vivian spoke up a little bit tidily (considering she had consumed the majority of the bottle of wine) "Oh yeah" Rebecca said leaning in closer to Yugi and Bakura. Just then Yami appeared and walked into the corner of the room. "Well are we going to tell her this evening?" Yami asked little Yugi. "Oh I can't" Yugi said timidly. "It is Christmas and you have nothing to lose, she has been your closest friend for a long time" Yami explains trying to shove a little courage into Yugi. "Okay" Yugi winced desperately hoping that Tea would agree to a kiss under the mistletoe. Unaware were Yami and Yugi that Tea had her eyes one someone most of the night and was plucking up the courage to do exactly the same thing but only with someone else. While Vivian began raving on toasting to good will and so on, Tea rehearsed quietly what she was going to say. "Excuse me Seto I know we don't really get along that well but I really like you". "No that sounds awful" she hisses to herself. When Seto refused to give a toast as did Varon and Mai Joey got annoyed. "Oh come on there has to be something you guys wanna toast to" he whined. "Well you did enough talking for the three of us wheeler" Seto snarled. Joey felt himself become more and more overcome with rage. "Listen here pal, I have tried to avoid a fight with you being Christmas and all but if you start anything with me I swear I will..." Varon interrupts. "Okay fine Il say something. He then walks over to Serenity and Joey and holds out some mistletoe. "Serenity may I have this kiss?" he asks holding the little leaf above her head. Tristan and Duke both gasp in horror as Varon leans in for a kiss with the girl they were both fighting for. Joey laughs. Serenity leans in and kisses Varon on the lips. "He he" she giggles. Everyone claps. (Almost everyone LOL) Joey rolls his eyes. "Well since its Christmas" he says. Tristan and Serenity then crowd around her and try to find some mistletoe to dangle over her head. "When are we going to have the turkey?" Mokuba asks. Grandpa chuckles. "I will get the bird out of the oven now" Mokuba follows him into the kitchen where Seto is standing. "Alright everyone" Rebecca yells. "Grab some mistletoe". "What?" Bakura's eyes widen. "Oh no you don't" Rebecca gleams pulling him in and holding the twig over him. Tea then holds in a breath and approaches the kitchen. Seto is not there. "Hmm" she thinks. She then spots him standing behind Mai who is talking to Joey. Tea walks past the crowd until she is by Joey and Mai. "Hey Tea" Mai says trying to be nice. They both did not get on very well. "Hey Mai" Tea replies with her eyes focused
Seto. "Mai you wanna go over by the tree?" Joey asks leading her to where his gift for her is. Tea was now face to face with Seto Kaiba. "Hey Seto" she quietly waves to him. Seto ignores her and moves away. "Excuse me?" She pipes up. He then turns around. "Tsk" "what is it?" he rudely asks. "Well being Christmas I was wandering if ""I was wandering if we could maybe" Tea was struggling to get her words out. Seto was getting impatient and it showed. "Look tea I am leaving in a minute so what ever you are trying to say just get it over with". Tea feels her eyes grow sad. Was this the guy she had liked for so long? This rude and self righteous jerk? She then looks him straight in the eye. "You know what?" "You are not worth it Seto Kaiba" she proudly announces before walking off. Kaiba just stands there with a raised eyebrow.
Okay so it was a risk but i hope you all liked it. I did
