~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bakura looked out to the line of children and waited patiently for the next child to sit in his large padded red lap.
\\So Ryou, do you think the next child will maybe be satanic as well? I like those kinds of children....those are the only mortals with promise....\\
Ryou SO hated to disappoint him....
The next child came up, a small toddler boy escorted by his mother. She helped him up onto Bakura herself and stood a distance away.
\\Gah! Ryou! What do I do about the small ones with no talking ability!?\\
\Well, just look at them nicely and ask them if they want anything for Christmas....\
\\Sounds simple enough....this is a fairly straightforward holiday you mortals have....honor the fat man who bequeaths gifts....\\
\It's not really that, Bakura.....\
"Hey there small boy....what do you want to get for Christmas?" Bakura hoped that it was at least an EVIL toddler on his lap....
The small boy looked up at the Santa Bakura......and he promptly burped up his lunch onto him.
"GAHH!!!!!" Bakura almost jumped up, and the boy's mother ran up and got her son, apologizing profusely.
"I'm really sorry, he's usually so well behaved in publc!!"
"Well lady, I'd say that your child......"
Ryou butted in. "It's alright madam....we understand completely."
\\We, annoying one?\\ Bakura REALLY wanted to harm something right now....the urge was nearly overwhelming...
\YES Bakura....we.\
The smiled and thanked him, and led her son away to be cleaned up.
\\BUT YOU JUST DIDN'T GET THROWN UP ON!!!!!\\
Ryou sighed and the manager ran up with a handkerchief. The line of parents and children hung back a bit, all parents wondering if the Santa they'd been waiting all day on had to be put on hold just because the third kid barfed on him....
Bakura snatched the hanky from him and wiped the spit off of him as best as he could, and then the geek kid scuttled up and placed a fuzzy thick blanket over Bakura's lap. Bakura's eyes clearly showed the boy that he was scowling, so he scuttled away again.
The next child was gently prodded into going up to the evil Santa. This time, it was a young boy who looked just a bit too old to be barfing on Santa Claus...
Bakura was in a bad mood now. He wanted to torment something.
Ryou looked at his darker half suspiciously and helped the boy up onto Bakura's lap.
The little boy looked up at Santa Bakura. "Hewo Santy Cwas....have I been a good widdle boy dis year?"
Bakura sneered behind his beard. "Well, what do you think, kid?"
He then got a lovely flash of sadism, and imprinted in the boy's little head an image of many little Barney's dancing in his head.
They boy's eyes widened and his eyes glittered with delight, and remained silent.
Then Bakura looked for the boy's fears....and he had the urge to burst out laughing.... But Bakura the concentrated on the Barneys....and then in the boy's mind, he had them take off their head masks and reveal the boy's biggest fear. Icky Girls.
The little boy's eyes suddenly welled with tears and he started sniffling loudly. Then his sniffles turned to a low wailing. His father came up the steps and put his hand on his son's back while Bakura watched on.
"Err...well Santa, it looks like Jeffy is scared of you....I never suspected this...."
"Don't bother yourself worrying about it. Little children cry at me alot, actually....."
\\Or I'd like them too....\\
\BAKURA!!!!! Why did you do that!?\
\\Quiet you.\\
Ryou's angered face suddenly turned to sympathetic as he bent down to give the boy a candy cane as his father took him off of Bakura's lap. The boy looked up at Ryou and suddenly began bawling.
"IT'S A GIRLWY! A GIRLWY!! DADDY PWEAZE I WANNA GO HOME!!!!"
Ryou sweatdropped. Bakura had to supress an extremely loud laugh, so he had to settle for a mental one.
\\HAHAHAHA!! A GIRL! AHAHAHAHAAAA!!!\\
\Bakura. Quiet please....\
The father looked a little sheepish at his son's behavior, and took the cane from Ryou and led the crying boy away.
Bakura sighed happily. Now that he had THAT out of his system....
The next kid came up. This time, another little girl. She had big blonde pigtails and looked to be about eight or nine years old. She skipped happily up and stood next to Santa. She was just big enough to not need help up onto Bakura's lap.
"Hi Santa! I'm getting up now!" She then hopped up onto his lap, jolting painfully under the landing of the girl.
"Hey there Santa! I'm Rebecca! I'm pretty sure that I've been really really good this year! And teddy says I've been good also!"
That's when Bakura noticed an absolutely sick teddy bear clutched in her arms. It made his skin crawl.
"Well young lady.....what do you want this year......" \\Ya little gift grubbers...\\
\Bakura....\ Ryou had a bit of a warning tone in his voice.
"Oh! That's EASY Santa! I really really want another Shadow Ghoul card! Those are my favorites! Oh! And a hat for Teddy would be great! I'd also like a new bike, and a nice new deck case for my cards, pink please!" She grinned at him. "Ooh! Teddy also wants a lollypop!"
"You'll get a candy cane." Bakura was REALLY creeped out by that annoyingly cute bear she insisted on carrying around...
"Okay! Well, Santa, thanks for hearing me out!" She hopped down and took the cane from Ryou. Then she ran down the steps. "COME ON YUGI! LET'S GO MEET OUR GRANDPA'S NOW!!!!"
Bakura stiffened immediatly. \\YUGI!?!?!?!??!?!\\
His eyes shifted to the left, where Rebecca ran off to. There she saw the girl meet up with the Pharoah's pet, Yugi. Bakura watched them walk off darkly, and saw Yugi look back at the Santa Bakura. Bakura looked away quickly, pretending to welcome the next child.
"Hey there little guy!" He tried to look friendly while Yugi was watching.
"I'm not little. I'm only here because my onii-san wants to find out what I want for Christmas without asking me directly. He thinks he's slick....he also wants a picture, but I don't think his camera is working right...." The boy was oddly familiar to Bakura.
When he got a look down at the big brother with the camera, the realization of who the boy was hit him like a semi hit a fly.
Seto Kaiba was standing at the foot of the steps slapping his camera against his palm futiley. Bakura grinned as he was the one who ruined all of the cameras in the vincinity.
"Damn...cheap...cameras.....next time I buy one of these $600 pieces of crap, I'll make sure it has a very good waranty on it...." Seto snarled at the now useless camera, and then just looked up at his brother Mokuba.
"Get on with it Mokuba.... I still have some shopping to do...."
"Sure you do...." Mokuba muttered under his breath. He then looked up at Santa Bakura. "Here I go." He sat down easily in Bakura's lap, and Bakura and Ryou both had the urge to burst out laughing. Mokuba obviously hadn't even taken a good look at Ryou yet.....
"Alright, here's what I want. I want a really big Super Soaker water gun so I can aim at those maids that do the laundry....I also want some more Cap Monster's pieces....I really like that game....Oh! And I really want Seto to buy my school so he can make up holidays to let school out himself!"
"Not happening...." Seto's voice rang lightly up to Ryou, Mokuba, and Bakura.
"Awww.....oh well, I also really want a pinball machine and a Dance Dance Revolution game, like in the arcades. I think I'm getting better at it!" Mokuba grinned.
"Well young man, I sure will see what I can do....." and then Bakura added at a whisper, "about letting your brother know about it..."
Mokuba snickered and Ryou handed him a cane. Mokuba got down and walked back to his brother.
Suddenly, before they could turn and leave, a young girl's head poked out from behind Seto. She had a short black ponytail and huge blue eyes.
"Kebby-kun! Don't I get a turn!?," she said in an Irish accent. She looked up at him with pleading eyes. (A/N: For all those reading "Another Chance at Everything" and bits of "The Cast Party," this one's for you!)
Seto's eyes rolled. "Lisa, you're about a year older than Mokuba. Aren't you a bit old for that?"
"But I wanna tell Santa what I want for Christmas!" She batted her eyes, and Seto then sighed.
"Fine then...make it quick....."
"YAY!!!!" The girl, Lisa, ran up and stood by Santa Bakura. "Hi hi Santa!"
This girl had an infectious and horribly annoying happy attitude.....
Lisa hopped up in his lap and giggled. "Santa, I've been a very good girl this year....so I want some things! I need a new Mystical Elf dollie, since Mokuba stepped on mine today....." She paused long enough to send a quick glare down at the boy. He sweatdropped.
"I said I was sorry!! Yeesh!"
"AND I also want a coat JUST like Kebby-kun's! All of his don't fit me! He's REALLY tall!" She grinned down at "Kebby-kun."
Bakura just stared at this happy child. How did she know them? Oh well.
"Oh and Santa.....give Rudolph a carrot for me...."
Bakura decided to throw the girl a curve. "Well, carrots really give him a nasty case of gas....."
\Bakura!\ His light's mental voice was chiding, but he could easily tell that he was holding back a laugh.
Lisa's eyes lit up in confusion, then she giggled. "Okay...then throw in some Bean-o for me!" She giggled louder. Mokuba was snickering and Seto showed a small sign of mirth.
"Well, that's all I really want this year, Mister Claus! Thank you for hearing me out!" Before he could protest, the eternally happy child threw her arms around his neck quickly, let go, and hopped down. Ryou snickered and handed her a candy cane, and she skipped back down to the Brothers Kaiba.
Bakura sighed. This really was an interesting job, and really made him feel very violent at points......he looked over at Ryou, who was still a little red in the face from holding back his laughter.
Oh well. He still got to hurt someone when this was all over. He looked idly down at the line. Then he saw the next person in line. Gods! Did everyone he knew have to show up today! Dear Set!
The next person in line was Honda, with his little nephew. From all accounts from his friends, the child was slightly annoying. Honda led the little boy up and sat him down on Santa Bakura's lap.
Bakura looked down at the child distastefully. "Hey. What do you want for Christmas, kid?"
The boy looked up at him and then promptly kicked hard into Santa's lap. Right into the ol' toy factory.
Bakura's eyes welled with tears of pain, and sparks could have flown out of his eyes if possible. Then he glared down at the child. People in line, especially the males winced when they saw this, and a few even snickered.
He stared hard at the child, wondering how to do away with his life. Should he possibly feed him to his Maneater Bug? No...too quick. Something that small would not last long as his Bug's meal. Hm...maybe even stringing him up over a large pit of lava.....
"Oh God! I'm SO sorry Santa!" Honda's voice broke through his pained reverie. "He usually NEVER does that!"
"Yeah sure....that's what they all say...." Bakura was surprised lightly that his voice was a little high......
Honda took his nephew off of Bakura's lap, taking the candy cane offered by Ryou, and walked away, still apoligizing to Bakura and chiding the small boy.
Ryou looked over and once again had to supress a laugh. He thought his darker half would try and harm Honda's nephew, but things had turned out well.
Bakura winced one more time, adjusting himself in his seat, getting ready for the next child. This really wasn't amusing anymore when the mortal buggers retaliated.....
