This is the third story, and it's based around Seto and Mokuba.
Yes, I know, I said mostly Yami-kun.*huggles Yami*
Yami:Ack! oO
But I decided to be diverse. Lucky you!

The Kaiba corp building didn't show any signs of celebration. The only hint at the tall KC building that it was Christmas was the plastic Christmas tree, complete with plain white lights, that sat in the lobby.
Mokuba flipped through channel after channel on the television is Seto's office. Nothing he hadn't seen was on, just a bunch of schmaltzy Christmas specials about how a poor kid gets what he always dreamed of for Christmas.
Mokuba had many things, since Seto's company was so successful. But there was one thing he wanted. And it was well within the reach of Seto's out of controll budget.
He wanted a Duel Monsters deck for himself. He'd always had to use Seto's, which annoyed the latter to no end.
The only thing Mokuba didn't get was why Seto couldn't just go to the Turtle Game Shop and buy him a starter deck.He figured it had something to do with Yugi, but that wasn't a good enough reason. Seto would have to swallow his pride sooner or later.
He shut off the television. "....Seto?"
"Hmmn?"
"I think I have an idea of what I want for Christmas." Mokuba said, and gripped the hem of his shirt.
Seto didn't say anything--He kept typing.So, Mokuba continued. "Don't you think you could get me a Duel Monsters Deck?" he asked timidly. Seto still said nothing.
Mokuba then started whining. "Please, Seto? You hate it when I use your deck, why not buy me one for myself? If this has something to do with Yugi--"
"Be quiet, please, Mokuba, I'm trying to work."
Mokuba huffed and crossed his arms.

Later that night, Mokuba sat in his room, looking at all his expensive things, all from past Christmases, birthdays, and things given to him for no good reason. And among all of those things, not a single Duel Monsters card.
He wondered if Yugi would be awake, he wanted to call him. It was about 10:30, so he guessed that he would be in bed.
But the more he thought about it, the more reasons he came up with that he should be able to get a deck for Christmas. It was truely outrageous, that Seto couldn't just walk into the Turtle Game Shop and ask for a Starter deck.
He came to the conclution(at 11:00 at night) that Seto was far too proud.
~*~
The following day was Christmas Eve, and Seto was as busy as ever. He spent from5:30 in the morning to 12:00 noon typing furiosly, and the only thing working in his mind pertained to his corporation.
At noon, he stopped typing breifly to answer the phone, and when he had hung up, his mind went straight to Mokuba.
His little brother. Virtually the only family he had left in the world. He started typing again.
And all he wanted for Christmas was a deck all his own. Seto smiled, Mokuba would make a wonderful duelist. Besides, someone would have to follow in his tracks someday.
The only problem was that the only place in town to get Duel Monster cards was Yugi's Grandpa's shop, and that wasn't good. He would've ordered them from the internet if it wasn't Christmas Eve.
Mokuba came in and out of the room, and he didn't say anything about cards. Seto was very greatful. He was going to get them for his little brother, but if Mokuba asked about it, Seto wouldn't be able to lie to him. He wasn't immune to Mokuba's sweet disposition.

The day flew by, odly enough, for Yugi, who sat in his living room watching television. The shop wasn't closed today, even though his jiichan was gone visiting friends. Yami was at the counter.
How conveinient. He had been tuaght how to work the cash register, how to greet the customer, and how to arrange things on the shelves. He knew that big things went on the top shelves, medium-sized items on the medium-height shelves, and the smallest things went wherever. He knew that he had to keep the floor swept, the shelves dusted, and should stay alert. But he had no idea what to do when Seto Kaiba just strolled into the Turtle Game Shop.
When said fabled even occured, Yami nearly jumped out of his seat behind the counter and ran upstairs tot ell Yugi to get a camera. Of course, he didn't do that. Yami just sat there, raised an eyebrow, and made himself look VERY above Seto.
Kaiba came in, suitcase and all, and stopped before the counter. "Where's Mr. Motou?" he asked. There was no concern in his voice, he just didn't want to be in the presence of Yami, who replied,"That's none of your business, Kaiba, but if it makes you happy, his visiting friends, so I'm watching the shop."
It was silent, and Seto was getting slightly annoyed. "I need to buy something. Mokuba wants a deck for himself." Yami smiled. "How cute. If you're asking for a starter deck, we're almost out--There's only one left....If you decide to ask me nicely."
Seto growled, low in his throat. "Are you that desperate?" he asked, his teeth clenched. Yami sneered. He was clearly enjoying this. "Are you willing to do anything for Mokuba, like you constantly say?"
It was silent, save Seto's aggrivated sounds. Finally, Yami stood up. "If you don't want to ask nicely, Kaiba, then you're going to have to leave. The shop closes at two o'clock on holidays, and it's one-forty-five. I need to close up."
Seto groaned, loudly, and leaned onto the counter."Allright, damnit!!...Could you please sell me a starter deck...?" It sounded painful. Yami luaghed, and was still doing so when he said,"Try again, Kaiba, you sound like you're asking for a root canal." Kaiba said it again, and again, and again, and AGAIN. untill Yami had had enough. He went in back and got the item Seto had asked for five times. He rang it up on the register, put it in a bag, gave Seto his change, and got the keys to the front doors to lock up.
Seto walked out, feeling very releived. Yami held the door open as he locked it. "And, Kaiba,"Seto turned around and delivered a questioning glare.
"Merry Christmas." Yami grinned.
"You too, spirit."
