Music played continuously, the beat forging itself into the hearts of the dancers. Yugi danced with a girl he knew from school, the one with the straight blonde hair, she wore a tight red dress with two slits up the sides to her mid-thighs with a v-neck and matching dangle earrings and necklace. What seemed to be her older sister silently watched in the distance, she seemed to be a twin if her hair wasn't crimped and her height was that of Yami's. She wore the same, only a starry purple. Sapna watched with teary orbs, as Yugi's eyes would trail over to herself numerously. The Queen felt a gaze upon her causing her mind to break away from the chains of thought. The girls older sister seemed to be staring at her, a gaze filled with such longing. Sapna's eyes pierced the girl back, as their eye contact seemed to never let loose. I have seen this girl before! At this thought, the other blonde broke the stare. But were? Sapna rose, brushing her skirt and cheeks off. Her eyes yearned for the older version of Yugi, sure she had been with his Aibou, but her fear of Bakura trying something to the Pharaoh… it was nerve wrecking. Sapna neared the blond girl again, passing her up, their eyes locking again. Were have I seen her before? As The Indian walked passed the stranger, her eyes diverted to Yami, who walked up to her hugging her tightly. Sapna caught a glimpse of the same girl again, this time her longing eyes multiplied in emotion with a devilish emotion in her eyes as she scanned over Yami's arms tightly around Sapna.

"Yami, do you know that girl? Have you ever talked to her before?" Sapna's eyebrows raised as she pushed Yami off her. She had clearly had enough emotion for one night, and a fight was just what she wanted.

"No, why?" At this comment, the girl walked rather hurriedly to the exit, as if concealing her face.

"She looked like she knew you. AND she was looking at me rather funny." Sapna sighed. She was incredibly stressed.

"What's wrong?" Yami questioned, rubbing her tight shoulders. "Ra, your tense."

"Yeah… long night."

"Anything happen?" Yami's voice soaked with concern.

"Later." Was all Sapna said. Her longing to go to a hot steamy bath couldn't be greater. I wish Yami still had his bathing chambers… Sapna lightly smiled to herself upon memories. Yugi walked up to the two, who, after the previous conversation moved about two feet away from each other.

"Hey guys! You about ready to leave yet?" Yugi asked, a slight sweat across his forehead.

"Some one was dancing with a lot of girls tonight." Yami chuckled.

"Sure you didn't get hitched on accident?" Sapna smiled walking between the two. Her head turned as they walked a few feet from the exit door to see the blond girl silently looking at the three. Sapna raised a brow as the moon glistened off the water from her cheeks. The girl was caught off guard by Sapna's gaze, quickly moving her gaze upon the moon.

"Strange…" Sapna whispered.

"What?" Yugi asked.

"That girl, she's really familiar, and…. Weird…" This statement caused Yami and Yugi to laugh loudly. Sapna only glared playfully at the two.

"So, Sapna, what happened to you?" Yugi asked rather seriously.

"Happened? What happened?" Yami's laughter drained as his eyebrows knit angrily. "Who touched you?" Upon this comment, Sapna explained every thing that took place that night. As her story went on, they reached the house.

"That really happened?" Yugi asked locking the front door then heading to the kitchen.

"Yes." Sapna and Yami followed Yugi to the kitchen while he got something to drink.

"Hmm… but why would he actually care about you… a brute of a tomb robber such as himself?" Yami raised his hand to support his head while deep in thought. "I smell a rat."

"Not sure. Maybe he feels bad about what he did all those years ago? You know, repenting for his sins?" Yugi asked while rinsing his glass off. Sapna lazily walked up the stairs, listening to the two of them hypothesize over the ordeal. The two eventually came back up as Sapna sat on the bed waiting for Yugi to get her some clothes to wear to bed. She stared at the floor, knocked out of her trance as Yugi plopped some clothes in her lap. The Queen trudged into the bathroom, hastily changing.

"Yami…I hope nothing happens to her…" Yugi stared worriedly into his dark's eyes.

"Aibou… if we have anything to do with this situation… then she will be perfectly fine. Bakura will be tortured for all eternity if he decides to pull anything." Yami said sternly.

"Don't be so protective Yami. I can take care of myself." Sapna frowned from the bathroom doorway. She wore baggy black plaid pants that were clearly five sizes too big, and a plain white shirt that was clearly too large for her as well. Yami had a very contradictive face, yet that was soon broke into a playful grin at the sight of his own clothes on her.

"Yugi, you really have to do laundry. Yami's clothes are huge on me." Sapna smiled gently. She laid herself upon the bed, resting upon her stomach. Yami exited to room, saying his goodnights.

"Yami and I are going to go downstairs and talk for a little while. If you cant sleep, then your welcome to join us. Well, goodnight. And Merry Christmas!" Yugi said cheerfully as he closed her door.

"… Christmas…?" Sapna whispered to herself. She heard the door down stairs open, then close tightly. Indulging herself into the blankets even tighter, she wondered why Yugi or Yami would be opening to the door at such time? The Queen tiredly snuggled her face into the pillow, relaxing as she felt the heater kick on, the hot air slowly filling into the room putting her into a state of oblivion. Hearing the door open once more, then close, Sapna heard footsteps up the stairs. Even though her head wasn't facing the door, she already knew it must have been Yami; like a little kid, wanting someone or something to sleep with. The figure moved over to her gently lifted the blankets off of her back.

"Yami, it's really cold in here! And the heater hasn't heated the room all the way yet!" Sapna said angrily. The man followed her demand, except putting himself onto her, rather than the blanket. The Queen gasped when frigid cold hands took off her shirt. Sapna didn't say anything, simply curious why Yami would take her shirt off… other than for something else which she knew he clearly wouldn't try with her. Unless it's… the cold fingers began rubbing her back, naturally heating up as they skill fully pressed, rubbed and kneaded into the tight skin. The Indian sighed, one; because she knew Yami had told her she was tensed earlier that night, meaning it was clearly him. And two; she really needed this. She decided she would keep awake. Fighting the sleep, she wanted to feel the message, instead of fall asleep. Sighing in content she wished this would last forever. About an hour later the hands stopped, and the buff body relaxed on top of her, wrapping his arms around her.

"Yami… you surprise me sometimes." Her only response was a sarcastic grunt.

*****

Sapna lazily turned around, expecting to see someone behind her, still they're from the night before. Although, Yami was absent. Sapna frowned. How dare he! Pull a stunt like that, and leave me in the morning. She rose, putting her shirt back on. Her back felt like silk after the message she received. She walked downstairs, gasping at the lights and the rather large Christmas tree with a train circling it; as well as the many wrapped boxes enveloping the floor with a blazing fire on the side. The Queen's eyes sparkled with wonder and new excitement.

"Merry Christmas Sapna!" The light and Dark exclaimed as the emerged from the great aroma of the kitchen, literally glomping her. Giggles and laughter filled the house as the three fell to the floor.

"And this, Sapna. Is Christmas!" Yugi smiled widely.

"Wow. Its beautiful!" Sapna moved over to the kitchen, standing over the stove taking in the aroma. Yami came in as Yugi went upstairs.

"Yami… Thank you for the message' last night." Sapna smiled.

"What message?" Yami questioned like she was loony.

"Were… did you go……… last night?" Sapna asked scarcely.

"Well, after you went to sleep, we figured you wouldn't come back down till morning, so we called Yugi's grandfather, and he said it was okay to use the money from the game shop we earned this week for Christmas, and he also told us were he hid our presents, so we pulled them out. We went out, bought you a lot of gifts, as well as decorations. All in all, we went to sleep around seven this morning." Yami said cheerfully. Sapna glanced at the clock, forgetting to message nightmare.

"Yami, its 10:30 right now! Aren't you sleepy?" Sapna asked, gazing into the tired, yet excited violet eyes.

"Sapna, I'm fine! Don't worry about me!" Yami kissed her forehead before stirring the gravy again. Yugi emerged into the kitchen smiling brightly holding a small red wrapped box.

"Here. It's for, well… you being my friend.." Yugi said quickly. Bewildered, Sapna assumed to unwrap the tiny box, as well as forget her worries about Bakura being in her room that night. Inside a red velvet box was the most precious heart shaped locket ever. Sapna gasped, looking up at Yugi with misty eyes.

"Yugi… you didn't have too…" She smiled hugging Yugi tightly.

"Open it up!" He choked out from her hug. Sapna's smile widened even more when she saw a lone picture of the entire group, Bakura, Yami, Yugi, Tea, Tristin and Joey. On the other side, was a picture of Yami, sitting on a chair, above him, was Yugi holding the top of the chair, they both held a warm smile. The royal Queen showered the light and dark with kisses on the cheek's and many hugs.

"Okay, dinners ready!" Yugi said happily while obtaining himself some oven mitts for them semi-large turkey. As the giant cooked bird was taken out a new aroma filled the air.

"Sit down you two, I'll get the serve y'all!" Yugi said cheerily. Within minutes the trio's plates were filled with food, then they dug in.

"You two cooking this by yourselves?" Sapna said between mouthfuls.

"Yup!" the two said proudly. After an hour of eating, and cleaning the kitchen, they headed into the living room, were they began opening presents. Sapna already had next to her some perfume, earrings and some shoes. Yugi was the last to open his present, it was one Yami got him after working over time in the game shop. After opening the gift, Yugi found it to be the vinyl pants he wanted for so long. He wanted to borrow Yami's but he was too tall, crushing that idea. The light rose, jumping and hugging on Yami. Sapna smiled, she loved to see the people around her get along so well. Everything was going so perfect…

"Sapna, I hoped you had a wonderful Christmas." Yugi said, blushing as he hugged her. Sapna smiled gently, lending a hand to the boys, to help clean up the wrapping paper.

"We'll leave the Christmas tree up, I'll get that down tomorrow." Yami said, throwing the last of the paper in the trash.

"I'm going to take a shower and get dressed, ok guys?" Sapna asked as the two nodded. The Indian skipped upstairs, locking the bathroom door behind her, undressed, then hoped in steaming hot water. After the necessary cleaning, she turned the water off and wrapped herself in a towel. Walking and holding the towel in her right hand, she headed to her room, formally known as the guestroom. Sapna turned to her bed after locking the room's door. She gasped when she saw rose petals thrown across her bed, with a beautiful glass vase holding two dozen red roses with a large cream envelope under it.
