Answers to reviews...
Kanberry - Since you said please, I'll update. ^^
Dagger5 - Yugi thanks you for the hug. In fact, he feels a million years younger. lol. It's funny, I only have this story planned out in my head. (that's how all my stories are) So I'm happy when I see a successful step further into my writing skills. (that sentence made no since. ^_^U)
Panseru - EVIL! How dare you count down! Don't do that. It makes me nervous, then I don't update cause I can't think of anything except the dwindling hours till christmas. ^__^
Rox - What do you mean...love in?
Dee-whY-Cee-aRe - Yes, it wouldn't be a story if I didn't complicate things for sweet little Yugi and stubborn hot-ass Yami. ^^
Destiny's Light - Why'd you steal Destiny's light? Lol. Just joking. ^^ Yeah, I keep putting in this (how convenient) moments, neh? Let's just say God is making sure things are working with Yugi and Yami's mission. What? God wants them to succeed to. After all, he/she has to put up with the outcome of the loss of Christmas.

Chapter Three_Death Stalks Closer

I got to thinking that night about things, like why my life was turning into one of those damn predictable Christmas stories. I was seriously expecting Santa Claus this Christmas Eve. Why? Why the hell not!? I already had a demon and an angel sleepy in the room next door. I suppose I should start making salad so I can serve that when the Easter Bunny knocks at my front door. Ok, enough with the sarcasm. Seriously though, these two boys were infuriating. Yugi seemed to have a skill with making me feel guilty, and Yami made me feel weak...like a child almost. Maybe I'm finally going crazy or something.
GET OFF ME!!!!!!
Seto yelped, nearly getting thrown across the room, but he wasn't giving up that easily. He straddled Yami's hips and pushed the demon face down into the couch, swearing when Yami kicked his back with his leg.
Would you calm down! I need to change your bandages!!!
Yami scowled and continued to thrash, Fuck you!
Yugi sat at the island in the kitchen, giggling as he watched Kaiba miraculously keep Yami pinned to the couch as he dressed the demon's wing in clean gauze. Yami clearly looked pissed, and for a good reason too. He hated being restrained or dominated, he was the seme...in any and every situation.
See? That wasn't so damn hard! Seto snapped and finally got up off the enraged demon.
Yami just remained there for a while with his face in the couch fuming. Scowling, Seto stomped over to the kitchen and shot Yugi an irritated glare before grabbing a piece of burnt toast.
He doesn't like to be on the bottom, Yugi stated helpfully, giggling at the two young men.
Wouldn't you know, Seto snapped, then immediately felt guilty when Yugi gave him a hurt expression. Look, I got to go to work. I've left a spare key by the vase near the door, so the two of you can go out and in as you please. Just remember to have the door locked at all times, cept when you are using it.
Yugi agreed.
Seto stared at him warily, uncomfortable with leaving these two alone in his apartment, Don't break anything or you'll be stuck on Earth even longer then you are now, working to pay me back for it. Don't try to fly. There are emergency numbers clipped on the refrigerator. Don't try and cook unless you know how. I don't want to find my place burned down when I come home tonight. I've also left a credit card next to the keys. Buy whatever you need and charge it on the card. Use it wisely because it is the one and only form of money you'll get from me.
Yes sir! Yugi saluted, flashing his most brilliant smile.
Seto shifted and gave the angel a suspicious look, before picking up his suitcase and starting for the door. Yugi watched him go, then got up and ran after him.
Seto, wait!
Seto paused and looked back at him irritably, The name is Kaiba to you.
Yugi apologized, then from out of no where produced a pair of gloves and a scarf. It's cold out there! You should dress appropriately.
Seto blinked numbly as Yugi went about putting the gloves on his hands. He wrapped the scarf around the brunette's neck and tucked it away, then shocked Kaiba more by planting a kiss on his cheek.
There! All ready for the outside, Yugi chirped, ignoring the shocked beyond hell look on Seto's face, and shoving him out the door. Hurry now or you'll be late!
Yugi then left Kaiba standing out in the hall, closing the door and locking it.
I saw that, Yami's voice accused the little angel from the couch.
Yugi turned and gave his dark an innocent, puzzled look, Whatever do you mean, abiou?
Don't pull that innocent crap on me, Yami continued with an irritate scowl, I saw you kiss him. Why the hell would you do a thing like that?
Yugi shrugged and skipped over to sit next to the demon, humming a cheery christmas tune, This time of year sure is wonderful, neh?
You're changing the subject, Yami further accused, giving Yugi the look.
Yugi sighed and swung his feet with a secretive smile, Seto's really something, isn't he? He acts so mean, but deep down he's such a sweetheart.
I clearly don't see where the sweetheart part came into the picture, Yami pointed out, resting his chin on Yugi's shoulder and continuing to give him an accusing gaze.
Yugi gave him a glare, that looked more cute then it was meant to, Not funny, Yami. He's really nice! You should give him a chance and stop being as much of an ass as he is.
So you're saying that you're gonna leave me for him, Yami stated, rather then asking.
Yugi scowled and pushed Yami off him, NO! I did not say anything like that! I'm just saying Seto is sweat. I like him a lot.
He does have a cute ass, Yami agreed, then smirked at the look Yugi gave him,
Honestly, Yami! Yugi stood up, walking around the room and casing the place.
Yami sighed and stretched, relaxing into the plush couch, So, what exactly are we gonna do? The guy is an ass, plain and simple. How are we gonna get him to see the true meaning of Christmas?
Yugi didn't answer, continuing to look around at the leather couches, grand piano, empty fireplace, and bare walls. This place didn't even look like Kaiba lived in it! So boring, where was the family pictures? The childhood toys stuffed away and forgotten in the corner? Frowning, the little angel turned and walked back over to sit on his dark's lap.
Yami asked, knowing all to well that Yugi wanted something from him.
Yugi stated huskily, tracing a path up Yami's leather clad chest and resting his hand over the other's heart.
He knew Yugi to well, the shrimp definitely wanted something, What and no.
Yugi pouted, but continued his seductive moves, moving his lips so he was now whispering suggestively into the other's ear, I was thinking, you know how Michael and Rafael were lovers? And then they both decided to start seeing Gabrielle? Well, maybe you and I could win Kaiba's heart over, more then just the christmasy way...
Yami sat up and shoved Yugi off his lap, Are you kidding me!? He's an ass! There is no way I could possibly tolerate him!
Oh come off it, Yami! I know you find him just as attractive as I do! You're just afraid that he'll dominate you or something, then you'll be the uke!! Yugi accused, pouting cause he wasn't getting his way.
Yami scowled and stood up, starting to pace in the way he always did when he knew Yugi had him in a corner, That is not true! I just don't like sharing what's mine. And you are mine!
Yugi pouted, which normally worked on Yami.
NO! Absolutely not happe--
Is there something wrong, Yurushi? Iwaku? A deep voice questioned from the kitchen.
Both spirits jumped in fright, Yugi standing up and hiding behind Yami for protection. The intruder smirked, his silver hair falling over his shoulder to hide one eye while his hand raised a glass of wine to his lips. Wine that was not his, but Kaiba's. Damn, Yugi was sure Kaiba would be angry about the wine when he got back.
Kashi! What the hell are you doing here!? Yami demanded of the Angel of Death.
Well, that's a silly question to ask, Iwaku. Remember? Little Kaiba-boy is gonna die soon. And where there is death, a Death Angel is never far, The spirit stated and sipped Kaiba's wine.
Oh no! Kaiba's gonna die! Yugi exclaimed and bolted from behind his dark towards the apartment door.
Yami snatched his light by the arm and pulled him back to him, Kaiba's not gonna die yet, Yugi. Otherwise, Kashi wouldn't be here but with Kaiba. Am I right?
Mmmm, right as always little darkness, Kashi teased, chuckling.
Yugi mumbled and blushed, feeling a bit stupid.
Well, I must be going now, Kashi announced and straightened, smiling at the two boys, Don't forget...you have until Christmas day to turn that human around. You won't get another chance after that day, because I'm afraid fate has already chosen its present for the boy.
Then Kashi vanished with a shower of glowing shards of light, leaving the demon and angel alone again in the apartment living room.
Oh no!!! Kaiba-san's gonna die on Christmas day! That's so not cool! Yugi objected and frowned disapprovingly.
Yami sighed and rolled his eyes, Whatever. At least we'll be rid of him in four days time.
That's not nice!!! Yugi yelled at his dark and hit Yami in the face with a pillow.
The other just frowned and glared at his light, before a smirk broke his features. Yugi had a three second warning before he was tackled into the couch, his mouth claimed by Yami's eager tongue.
*~~~~&~~~~*
Seto felt rather happy that day as he finished putting aside some papers and shut his briefcase. He had fired three people this morning, signed an important business contract, yelled a lot, sold two million boxes of duel disks, yelled some more, took a five minute nap during a boring meeting about possibly buying out a tissue company, and fired two more people. Yes, he had had one of the best days in his whole business career. It was ten o'clock pm and dark out, with a light snow falling from the sky. Fastening his trench coat tightly, he trudged down the snowy sidewalk towards home, which wasn't that far away so he never really bothered with driving.
Other people were also walking along the streets around him, some late night shoppers while others were wild teens running about past their parents curfew. Everyone going and coming, the way life is and has always been. Seto found himself lost a for moment, watching everyone and everything around him as he walked a steady pace home. He stopped at the light and shivered when a cold breeze ruffled his hair and tinged his cheeks a light pink. The light turned red, signaling him to walk on.
He started forward, stopping slightly confused when something tugged at his neck and almost choked him. He turned and found the source, the scarf Yugi had given him to wear had gotten caught on the jagged edge of the wired trash can when the wind had blown it around a bit. Setting down his suitcase, Seto went about freeing the warm blue wool from the trash can's grip. Half way in getting it off, a loud screech shattered the peaceful night. Forgetting the scarf for the moment, Seto stared wide eyed as a car went flying by along the road not so much as stopping for the red light. Something icy gripped the young CEO's heart as he watched the car continue hazardly down the road. Grabbing his suitcase, he started off at a jog towards home.
If it hadn't been for that stupid scarf, he would have been in the path of that reckless driver.

AnimeFan: Oooooh, spooky. ^^ If you haven't noticed, I've got a reckless driver theme going on here. So if you don't learn the true meaning of Christmas, you'll definately learn how dangerous dangerous driving can be! =P lol.
A new character made his appearance. Kashi.
Kashi is the japanese word for apparent death.
Do you know who Kashi is? It should be kinda obvious. ^^' I needed an angel of death, and this specific Yugioh character came into my mind. It's a first for me, since I've never made him into anything more then an evil badguy. But in this story, he isn't evil. I do plan to bring other Yugioh characters into the story, that includes Mokuba.
And Seto is living alone in a really expensive appartment in Tokyo. Which hints a little to future events to come. Like...where is Mokuba? And why isn't this story taking place in Kaiba's mansion in Domino City? Hmmm....Only I know! Muahahahaha!!!
