chapter four
Kaiba bolted up in his bed with wide eyes. Had he been dreaming? Everything he saw...surely it was just a flashback, a dream. He looked at his clock. Two o'clock. In the morning. He pulled his curtains shut and layed on his pillow when he thought he felt something or someone in the room again.
Ignoring it, he rolled over and tried to sleep. Thats when he heard a loud belch. Kaiba sat up straight and stared beyond his curtains. Chancing a peek, he saw piles and piles of food. And sitting in a golden chair near the center and top of it all was a guy.
Kaiba flung open his curtains and jumped out of bed.
"Hello." said the guy.
Kaiba stared. The guy was wearing red pants with black shoes. He wore a green tank top and a red coat over it. It had a rather large collar. Kind of cool and punk rocker looking, he had spikey hair with shades of black, blonde and a pinkish/reddish. Around his neck was a pyramid type thing, a necklace, gold, and like Ishizu's, it was emitting light.
"Who are you?" asked Kaiba.
The guy jumped off his chair and landed two feet from Kaiba. He was shorter than him, around Ishizu's height.
"Greetings, Seto Kaiba." he said.
Kaiba stared. "Let me guess..some sort of ghost?" he asked.
"Indeed." said the guy. "My name is Yami." he said.
"Yami?" asked Kaiba.
Yami glared. "Yes. My name is Yami." he said. "I am the Ghost of Christmas Present."
"Aren't they supposed to be large, fat and chubby?" asked Kaiba.
Yami glared again. "Not this one." he said.
"Oh. Okay." said Kaiba.
"You know why I am here." said Yami. "I would not even be here, if Ishizu didn't complete her part." he said. "So you have seen the Past?"
"Yeah. If thats what you want to call it." said Kaiba.
"Now you must-" started Yami. Then he spotted a large chicken leg. His hand reached for it, and he grabbed it. He ate it, in one bite, then gave off a loud belch.
"So it was you who burped before." said Kaiba.
Yami nodded. "I love food." he said.
"I could tell." replied Kaiba, eyes narrowing.
"Now I must show you the Present." said Yami, his necklace glowing. "What is going on this Christmas Eve." he said.
"Well then Spirit, carry on." said Kaiba, not as reluctantly as before.
"You do not seem troubled by this." said Yami.
"I figure if I'm going to go through this, I might as well not give the Ghosts such a hard time." said Kaiba.
"A wise choice." said Yami. Kaiba nodded.
"Now, we shall go take a look into the, er, future." said Yami. His pyramid got brighter and he lifted into the air. Kaiba was also lifted, shortly after Yami.
~*~*~*~*~
"Our first stop," said Yami. "is your employee's home."
"Wheeler's?" asked Kaiba.
"The same." nodded Yami. He took him down and stood outside a window. Kaiba landed next to him. "Observe." he said.
And he did. Kaiba looked inside. He saw a woman standing over a stove, stirring the contents in the pot. There was a little blonde haired girl and blonde boy sitting on the floor making paper snowflakes. Sitting at the table was Joey.
"How's it coming along, Mai?" he asked the woman.
"Just fine." she said. She put the cover on the pot and walked into an unseen area of the room. When she came back she was carrying a plate of food above her head.
"Rebecca, go help your mom." said Joey to the blonde haired girl. She nodded and jumped up and ran into the unseen area. Her pigtails, bobbing up and down as she ran.
"What should I do, dad?" asked the blonde boy.
"Go get Tiny Mokuba." replied Joey. "Its almost dinner, Yugi." he said.
Yugi nodded and bounded up the stairs.
Rebecca and Mai came out again from the unseen area and all the food was now on the table.
Rebecca squealed and sat in a chair. Yugi came pounding down the stairs afterwards and sat next to his sister.
"You didn't wait for him, Yugi?" asked Joey.
"Nah." replied Yugi. "He said he'd come all by himself." he said.
Mai now sat down at one of the heads of the table, Joey across from her at the other head of the table.
"Can we eat now?" asked Rebecca.
"No." said Mai. "We must wait for Mokuba." she said.
They waited in silence for a while when feet could be heard coming down the stairs. Slowly. Joey got up and went over to the stairs. As soon as he reached, Tiny Mokuba could be seen. He had a crutch under an arm and was walking with what looked like much difficulty. Joey scooped him up, the crutch falling to the ground and spun him in a circle.
"How are you, Mokuba?" asked Joey, setting him down at the table.
"Better father! I can't wait for dinner!" said Mokuba.
Joey and Mai began passing around the food. Which wasn't much.
Kaiba stared. "Surely they have more to eat than that!" he said. "And Little Mokuba..whats wrong with him?" he asked.
"One: Sadly, they don't have enough money to pay for a good meal. Two: Mokuba has a serious problem which also cannot be fixed due to lack of money." explained Yami. "This is the home of your underpayed, overworked employee." he said.
Kaiba stared at the happy family. They had so little but they were so cheerful. He watched as a large chicken leg was put on Mokuba's plate. Joey then took the small pea on his own plate and cut it in half. He watched, as Mokuba gave his leg to his father with a smile and took a smaller piece of the chicken for himself. Joey smiled, and hugged his son. Rebecca, feeling left out, hopped off her seat and dashed over to join the hug. Yugi ran over shortly after and even Mai got up to get in on the group hug.
"To Mr. Kaiba." said Mai. "For without his pay to you, Joey, none of this would even be here. Not even us." she smiled.
"To Kaiba!" said Joey.
Kaiba turned away. They were thanking him. "They have barely any food. What was that cooking over the stove?" he asked. "Surely thats a large roast."
"Your laundry." replied Yami.
Kaiba looked down. "No more Spirit, no more." he said.
"We have another stop." said Yami as they lifted in the air. "Your nephew's."
Kaiba sighed as they flew away from the Wheeler house anmd headed to Tristan's.
~*~*~*~*~
"Here we are." said Yami, landing outside a small brick house. Kaiba landed too. "Look inside."
"I think thats what I'm supposed to do." said Kaiba. "Its what I've done nonstop all night."
Yami glared.
"I'm looking, I'm looking." said Kaiba and he did.
Inside was a festive looking living room/family room. There was a tree in the corner and the fireplace was blazing with a red hot fire. Sitting on the couch was three people, none of who Kaiba knew.
"Hey! There's Tristan!" said Kaiba, looking in front of the fireplace. Sure enough, there was Tristan, in front of the fireplace. "And that brunette woman must be his wife." he said, looking at the young girl sitting on the couch with short brown hair and an evergreen colored dress on.
"You mean to tell me, you have never met your nephew's wife?" asked Yami.
"No..no I haven't." replied Kaiba. "Her name is Tea, though."
"Wow. How impressing. You know her name." said Yami.
"Lay off." said Kaiba. He turned and looked back inside.
They were playing charades.
"Shell!" shouted Tea, jumping out of her seat.
"Yes!" said Tristan. He began to swim around the room.
"Swim?"
"Splash?"
"Fish!" shouted Tea. She thought for a second. "Selfish!" she called.
"Correct again, Tea!" said Tristan.
"Selfish Uncle Kaiba!" shouted Tea.
"Hey!" said Tristan. "I wasn't done yet." he pouted.
Tea smiled. "Oh well. I kind of figured out what the answer was, as no one else is really selfish. Except for that Bakura Ryou, but he's dead." she said.
"Yes.." said Tristan, picking up a wine glass. "But we should honor him." he held up his glass.
"To my Uncle Seto Kaiba!" he said.
"Why should we?" asked Tea
"He's my uncle, Tea." said Tristan.
Tea shrugged and held up her glass. "To selfish, mean, old Uncle Seto Kaiba!" she said.
"To Kaiba!" said the two other people.
They toasted and took a sip out of their glasses.
Kaiba looked down. Even his nephew was treating him nicely, when he had treated him so terrible. "No more Spirit." he said. "I don't want to see anymore."
"That is all I needed to show you." Kaiba heard Yami say. "So now, I must go." he said. There was a bright light.
Kaiba looked back in the window but the house was dark. "Yami?" he asked. He looked around. He was no where in sight. "Yami!? Take me home!" he cried.
But there was no one around.
