Now it's a musical! Chapter 11: Fairytale of New York
Christmas time had soon come around for the lucky eight. Though would you call them lucky? I certainly wouldn't say that about Kate and Seto. Everyone was gathered at Rica's house for a Boxing day party...
Akefia was glaring at Bakura who currently sat on a chair with his sister in his lap. Atemu noticed this and joined his friend.
"Have you still not gotten over it?"
"It's just weird. I mean the guy's my best friend. No offence."
"It's fine."
"You've heard what he's said about women in the past."
"Yeah, but the guy seems to have turned over a new leaf... He's gonna take care of her."
"We'll see."
"Where were you on Monday?" Kate asked Seto.
"Why do you need to know?"
"I can't be curious?"
"Lovers quarrel!" Marik stated appearing next to them. They both glared at him. "I'm going."
"So?" Kate asked, hands on hips.
Seto: It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
"OK, so how has everyone been?" Rica asked directing attention to the middle of the room. "We haven't met up together like this in ages."
"Yami and I went to Egypt to meet his family!" Yula practically yelled hanging off of said man's arm.
"I'm moving in with Marik."
"We went to New York for Christmas, came back earlier today."
"Wow, how was is?"
"Well..."
Kate: They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
Seto: You were pretty
Queen of New York City
Both: When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
"I have news." Rica cut through the others. "And I wanted to say this in front of everyone. I've not been feeling well recently, so I asked Dr Otogi to check me for anything. And well, I'm pregnant." Everyone stood silently, mouths slightly open.
"Nice one buddy." Marik exclaimed punching Bakura's arm. "Your balls work!" The others giggled as Bakura glared at the other. They then started to congratulate the couple. Marie then turned on some music and most of them started to dance, leaving others to talk.
"You're not mad, are you?" Rica asked Bakura.
"No, this is just so unexpected. I mean I'm not the father type. H-how far are you, you know."
"Two months."
"So that means..."
"Yeah, our baby was made in a grimy toilet in a bar." She stated causing them to burst out laughing.
Across the room, Akefia was still staring, mouth agape.
"You look like a fish, you know that?" Ishizu uttered, nudging his arm.
"They, they, they." He tried to continue, but words escaped him.
"Oh, that. What's wrong with that?"
"It's my sister! I don't want to imagine her doing THAT!"
"You think I do? I hear mine all the time! Creepy as hell."
"Yeah, but that's Marie, it's different."
"How?"
"Everyone in town knows she's a whore." He stated smirking.
"Bastard." She added slapping his arm playfully. "So, how are you? Still chasing Kisara?"
"No, she's not worth it. She really loves Noah. Plus she said she'd call the police if I kept following her home." This caused Ishizu to giggle. "All right, all right, what about you?"
"What about me?"
"Do you like anyone?"
"Uh, um what?" She asked flustered.
"You do like someone!"
"So what if I do?" She muttered blushing. He smirked seeing her blush.
"Do I know them?"
"Yes."
"Are they male?"
"I should hope so."
"Do they go to our school?"
"Yes."
"Our year?"
"Yes."
"Are they short?"
"Hell no."
"Hmm, hair natural?"
"It is, but doesn't look it."
"Have any siblings?"
"Yes."
"I've got it."
"So what is your conclusion detective?"
"You have the hots for Motou."
"Ew, no. Guess again."
"Our age, our school, taller than you, unnatural looking hair..." He looked at the floor in thought before looking back up, just now noticing that Ishizu was a couple of inches shorter than him. "I-I think I kn-now who you mean..." he stated blushing.
"Oh, you do. D-do you think they feel the same way?"
"They've probably never even seen you that way. But I think he d-d-d." He stuttered, not being able to get the words out.
"He?"
"I do." Ishizu looked confused. Akefia closed his eyes, and moved closer to her, trying to kiss her.
"What are you doing?" She asked. He stopped about five inches from her face and opened his eyes.
"I-I." Ishizu burst out laughing. "What?"
"You idiot! You thought I meant you!" She continued laughing, clutching at her stomach.
"Well, who did you mean?" She calmed down and looked back at the confused boy.
"Mahad." It then clicked in mind. Mahad naturally had purple hair and was practically a giant, and was actually tallest in the room. He had also said a little while ago that he found Ishizu quite attractive.
"Oh, you should tell him. I think he likes you."
"Really." He nodded. "I'll go tell him. And Akefia, no hard feelings right?"
"No." Ishizu walked away. Akefia then turned to the wall next to him, smacking his head into it. "Stupid, stupid, stupid."
"Akefia, what did you do now?" Atemu asked pulling his friend away from the wall.
"Nothing much, just completely embarrassed myself, and probably ruined my life."
"How?"
"Ishizu said she liked someone, so I asked her who it was by asking questions. And the description sounded like me. So like an idiot, I try and kiss her, only to find out she likes Mahad." Atemu burst out laughing. "I hate you." This caused him to laugh harder.
Across the room Kate was trying to dance with a reluctant Seto.
"Come on babe, please."
"No, I don't want to end up like that." He stated pointing to Marie who was currently grinding into her boyfriends crotch.
"I don't particularly want to either. But come on! Even your brother and his little girlfriend are dancing." She added pointed over to the 14 year old with Mana dancing about a foot apart, but still together. He shook his head. "You never do anything fun. You're so boring!" She almost yelled turning away with a pout.
"You're a idiot who looks like a dog." This caused her to whirl back around, with a look of fury in her eyes.
Kate: You're a bum
You're a punk
Seto: You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
Kate: You scum bag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last
They had now attracted the attention of most of the room. Frustrated, Kate left the house, Seto following.
Both: The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
Seto: I could have been someone
Kate: Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
Seto: I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you
Both: The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
Their song ending, they stood facing each other in Rica's doorway.
"Is that how that you feel?" Seto asked, quietly. Kate, couldn't speak but just nodded. "Fine then." He turned and swiftly walked down the path, before walking away down the street. Kate could only stare; when he left eyesight she dropped to her knees and sobbed.
A/N: The song is Fairytale of New York by The Pogues & Kirsty McColl, as if you didn't know, if you didn't I'm ashamed of you, this is one of the best Christmas song ever!
Not written this since November... That wasn't meant to happen, I just couldn't write this, it wouldn't let me. Though I have been hearing this song a lot lately and now finally could think how to write it. I blame school as well. Seriously, since September I've done two English assignments, a French one, a Media Studies one (made an advert for marmite involving vodka), a whole unit in History (America 1919-41) and a whole biology and half a chemistry unit in science! I know right! And loads of homework, so I'm sorry that updates are slow, I'm trying my best.

Latina shewolf: I'll forgive you if you forgive me for this giant delay! It would seem that education got to both of us... Thank you for the other stuff!
