"What a trip," Yuugi groaned as they fell out of the beam of light, "Do we have to do that again anytime soon?"

0

"I hope not, but probably," Yami replied, shifting the weight of their fighting equipment around to a more comfortable position.

Along with Yami's being taller, several objects they had been holding seemed to have vanished. Yuugi's Kokiri Sword and Deku Shield had mysteriously gone missing, and Yami was wearing the mysteriously-less-ultra-heavy metal shield and the Master Sword strapped in their places - the sword was calmly sitting inside a weird scabbard that had appeared out of nowhere…mysteriously.

0

"So, what do we do now?" Yami continued, looking around the mysterious and annoying little room in the back of the Temple of Time that they had mysteriously returned to.

0

"We have to find those other Sages," Yuugi said, and blinked, "But where are we supposed to look?"

0

"…It would be nice to get a HINT or something now and then," Yami agreed, growling at the ceiling, which was shrouded in mysterious shadows.

0

"Who're you talking to, Yami?"

0

"…Never mind, Aibou," Yami sighed, "Let's start with getting out of here."

They started walking to the doorway - well, Yami walked, and Yuugi fluttered around a bit, trying out his new wings - and were almost at the door when they heard the noise of someone clearing their throat.

0

"Excuse you, hikari," Yami said.

0

"Ah-hem…"

0

"Huh? I thought that was you," Yuugi said.

0

"Ahem ahem…"

0

"Well, I don't see anyone else here," Yami retorted, "So it either came from you or it came from me, and it didn't come from ME…"

0

"AH-hem."

0

"Well, if I'm me and you're the other me," Yuugi shot back, "That means it didn't come from me either!"

0

"But who else is there?"

0

"You could try turning around," said the mysterious person who had been making all the 'ahem' noises.

Hikari and Yami looked at each other, blinked, and slowly turned to look at the pedestal where they had just been standing.

0

And standing where they had just been standing was a tall, mysterious figure. In fact, it also looked exactly like…

0

"YAY!" Yuugi cried, "It's SANTA!"

0

The mysterious figure face-faulted.

0

0

"Aibou, what the hell is 'Santa'?" Yami demanded.

0

"You know, Santa Claus! He spies on kids to see if they've been bad or good," Yuugi explained, "And he gives out presents."

0

"Wait, I remember…" Yami said, looking alarmed, "He's that old fat pervert pedophile who spies on kids that you told me about last winter!"

0

0

"…I am NOT Santa Claus," pointed out the mysterious figure.

0

"Oh really? I was looking forward to sending you to the bottomless depths of torment in the Shadow Realm," Yami said, looking very disappointed, "…Can I send you there anyway?"

0

0

"…No."

0

0

"But if you're not Santa," Yuugi said, "Then who are you supposed to be?"

0

0

0

"I am -" began the mysterious person.

"And for another matter, why are you suddenly so fixated on that weird kid's stuff anyway?" Yami interrupted, turning to scold his other half, "Are you getting high off your own fairy dust or something?"

0

"You're just jealous," Yuugi replied.

0

"Of what?" Yami demanded.

0

0

"DO YOU MIND!" screamed the mysteriously-ticked-off mysterious person.

0

0

"What now?" Yami groaned, "Can't you see we're busy here?"

0

"Not as busy as you should be," grumbled the mysterious person, "I am here to tell you where the Sages are."

0

0

"Really?" Yuugi said, "Why didn't you say that earlier? We were just wondering where we were supposed to go next!"

0

"Yeah, what took you so long to speak up?" Yami added.

0

0

The mysterious person face-faulted again.

When the mysterious person FINALLY had our heroes' full attention - after another hour or so - they said, "You must find the five sages, who are trapped in their temples. One is in the woods, one is on top of a mountain, one is under a lake, one is filled with some dead people, and one is out in the sand. Only then, with the support of all six Sages, shall you be able to take down the Pharaoh of Evil."

0

0

"HEY!"

0

"Not YOU, Yami!" Yuugi snapped.

0

0

"Wait! There's one more thing!" the mysterious person said when Yami and Yuugi were about to argue their way out.

0

"You can't get into any of the Temples without the secret treasures in Kakariko Village!"

0

0

"I don't know why," Yuugi said to Yami as they continued walking outwards without looking back, "But I think we need to visit Kakariko Village."

0

"I guess we might as well," Yami shrugged.

Leaving the mysterious person behind to groan about how unfair his mysterious job was…mysteriously.
