Card-Keeper: Here's a ficcy just in tme for Christmas. Lots of pairings, although the main one will be Ryou/Bakura. ^_^ Next pairing I'll be paying more attention to will probably be Malik/Mariku. The rest are as follows:
Ryou/Bakura (as said above) Seto/Serenity
Yugi/Yami Honda/Miho
Jou/Mai Anzu/yeah right...
Malik/Mariku(I like to call him Mariku :P)
//Yami to Hikari//
/Hikari to Yami/

Card-Keeper: And now on to the fic!
Christmas Cheer
Chapter 1- School's Out
Ryou sat lazily at his desk while his sensei bored the class to death. He glanced up at the clock and sighed inwardly that there were only two minutes left of class. To him, they were the longest two minutes in existance. Time seemed to drag down at an amazingly low speed whenever something good was about to happen. Well, somewhat good anyway. True, Ryou would have the next couple of weeks off for Christmas vacation, but that would mean he would be inside for two weeks, locked up with no one else but his Yami. He thought back on how they used to get along. On days such as this, his Yami would of course be bored out of his mind, what with it being too cold outside to go anywhere, and play a 'game' with his aibou. Games varied with Bakura, but they would always end up the same - Ryou laying on the floor in a semi-conscience state with Bakura looming over him as if daring him to make a move.
His thoughts were interrupted as the bell that signalled the end of school rang all throughout Domino Hight. Cries of cheer and bliss erupted from the students as Ryou casually walked out of the class. He really didn't feel like talking to Yugi and his group of friends, but they ended up coming over to him anyway. It was then that he noticed Jou was handing out envelopes, and the reason he was called was to get one also. Curiously, he recieved it and opened it carefully to find it was an invitation to what appeared to be a Christmas party.
"Having a Christmas Dance on Saturday, Dec. 21st." he read aloud. "Time: 1 P.M. Place: Jous house of course Bring: Nothing but your Christmas spirits!" Ryou paused for a moment, before lifting his head up to Jou again. "Why, thank you Jou. Surely I will come.:
Jou smiled, "Hey thanks! See you there, what about you Yug? Youse gotta come or else it won't be the same!"
"Of course I'm coming!" he replied happily, taking his eyes off his invitation. :Wouldn't miss it for the world!"
"I'll see you guys later k? I've gotta finish handing these out before everyone leaves."
Ryou, glad he could finally go, took his chance and began his long walk home. It wasn't like he didn't like hanging around the group, he just preferred to be alone. Sure, he liked them of course, but he just didn't fit in as well as the rest. As he exited the school, he saw his friend Malik outside, slouched on the stairs with his arms resting on his knees.
'Hmm...I wonder, what could be wrong with Malik?" he thought as he silently walked up to him. When he didn't acknowledge his presence however, Ryou placed a hand on his shoulder and sat next to him. Malik wasn't the one to show any kind of emotion, so seeing him like this was very rare and new sight.
"What's up Malik?" he asked casually, in hopes to get some sort of response from the Egyptian.
"...nothing Ryou, my friend. I am fine." he said in monotone.
"Are you sure?"
"..." Maliks eyes cast at a downward glance.
"..." Ryou waited for some kind of answer. When he got none, he figured Malik wanted to be left alone so he started to stand when he muttered something. "I'm sorry, what did you say?" Ryou asked innocently.
"My Yami..." he repeated.
"Your Yami...what? Wasn't he banished? What happened?"
"Yes, he was banished." Malik took a deep breath, "...he's back." At this statement Ryou's eyes widened. Who knew what Malik's yami, Mariku as he was called, would do this time around. His Yami had stopped hurting him a short while ago, but the same could not be said for Mailk's. 'Come to think of it...why did my Yami stop the torturous games? It all happened so sudden...I'll think about it later.' he thought. Actually, since he stopped, Ryou never questioned his Yami's sudden actions, he never thought a reason to. As for Mariku, he'd probably try to kill Yugi's Yami first, then everyone else. As he tried to register all these thoughts, Malik stood up. "Well, I believe I'll see you at Jou's party correct?"
"H-Hai!" he said startled at him speaking up from the quietness he had gotten used to. "Did you get invited also?"
"Mmhmm." he nodded. "I'll see you later Ryou. Thanks for talking, now at least one other person knows." At this final statement, he turned and walked away.
Meanwhile, Jou rushed around, trying to find the last two people who were to be invited, Seto and Mai. It wasn't Jou's idea to invite Seto, he wouldn't worn a hundred puppy dog suits for Duke in Hell than ask Seto anything. However, it was his sister's idea, and he couldn't think of any 'good' reason why Serenity would want that CEO at the party. She told him he deserved another chance and that the two of them could be good friends if they tried hard enough.
Seto was on his way to his limo when Jou ran up to him. He slammed the card into his hands, while Seto just stood there, dumbstruck.
"Hey, you're invited to a Chirstmas party at my house and you better come! It was my sis's idea and I don't want to see her sad! Got that? Good. Now that we've reached an agreement, I'll be off, more invitations to deliver!" he said before he ran off.
Seto stood there for a few moments, before one of his servents tapped his shoulder and asked if he would get in the limo. He came to his senses and stepped in, while the servent closed the door behind him.
He took a few moments to look over the invitation. His mind began to wander back to Jou's previous words. 'It was my sis's idea and I don't want to see her sad! Got that?' It was his sister? They barely even knew each other, why would she ask him to come? Maybe she wanted her brother and himself to get along better, which would never happen in a million years, or she could have felt sorry for me. It's not like I'm the most popular guy in school, even if I am the top duelist, well kinda. That Yugi beat me and took my title, even if it wasn't in an official duel. I might as well go and give it a shot. What have I got to lose save my sanity?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Mai? Mai? Where are ya?" Jou searched around Domino High for any trace of Mai. She had decided to enroll in it to stay aaround Yugi and co. after Battle City. When he found nothing, he figured he was too late, and sulked back to his house.
^^^Mai^^^
Mai walked hurridly back to her house after school. She wantted to start her vacation as soon as possible. Normally, she would accompany Jou to her house because they lived near one another.
"Hey Mai!! Wait up will ya?" she turned around startled to see Jou running up from down the road with a tiny envelope waving in his hand. She stood and waited for him to catch up and catch his breath before receiving it.
She scanned the invitation and smiled. "I'd love to come Jounouchi!" she exclaimed, then wrapped her arms around his neck. Jou tensed and turned beet red, but didn't pull back. "Arigato." she said.
"Y-you're welcome!" he said shakily. Jou was practially melting at Mai's touch.
Hesitantly, Mai pulled back, much to Jou's dismay. "Well, see you Saturday. Ja ne."
"Ja ne."
~End of Chapter 1
Card-Keeper: Okay not too much happened here...but I needed to introduce what's going to happen! Next chapter will be all Ryou/Bakura. Should I make the couples all have equal amounts of time in the storyline? Or should I keep with mainly Ryou/Bakura and Malik/Mariku? Tell me what you think! Oh and should I even bother putting Anzu in the storyline? ^_^;; This will probabaly be the shortest chapter, the next is twice this long.
Yami Card-Keeper: How do you know?
Card-Keeper: Duh, I wrote it already! That means also the update will be real soon!
Yami Card-Keeper: Yay!
Card-Keeper: Read and review plz. I won't know if you like or dislike my story if you don't. Thankies!
Also, seeing as I've been writing the chapters earlier this time (mostly during science class and study hall ^_^) I'm going to make previews of the next chapter! Here's the first:
Preview for next chapter~
Ryou's sulking in his living room thinking of how to break the news he can't go to Jou's dance party.
"What's wrong my hikari? Where can't you go?" asked Bakura.
"Well...Jou's got a Christmas dance and-"
"A dance! That's great!"
"Actually...I can't dance..." Ryou admitted embarassed.
"I'll teach you! In Ancient Egypt I was the best around!"
^^^
"Hey Yami?"
"What is it hikari?" asked Bakura.
"Um...well...promise you won't get mad when I tell you this...?"
"Of course. What is it?"
"Well..."
^^^
"Oh my gosh Yami I'm so sorry! I- I didn't know what I was doing I was dreaming honest!!" Ryou said when Bakura woke him up. Ryou buried his face under the pillow and ignored his Yami until he finally gave up and retreated to the ring.
'Why must this all be so confusing?' Ryou thought as he dressed and left for the park without the ring...
~End Preview
Card-Keeper: Okay that's about as much as I could say for the next chapter without giving it away! And before anyone guesses, NO Ryou didn't admit his feelings! That would shorten the whole story and I have PLENTY more ideas for a loong story! ^_^ Ja until the next chappie!
