This fic is losing its Christmas cheer... so I'm sorry for it being so
late, I had chapters 3-6 done but then my mom's boyfriend decided he'd
reprogram my computer to windows XP, let's just say I was too busy saving
all my other documents that the folder containing these chapters slipped my
mind. So I have to do these all over again.
Sorry for the short chapter... the rest will be like this too I'm afraid...
Disclaimer: I do not own YUGIOH or any of its characters, Santa Claus, or any candy brands mentioned in later chapters!
Warning: Shonen-ai. Sorry you won't find any lemons... at least I don't think so... we'll have to see. Extreme OOCness so don't harp on me about this. Stupidity, and immature situations may be found here... it depends on who's reading this. Still it would be best to be in a hyper or dazed mood while reading this!
There are also some [a/n] laced around in here so please try to read those too if you're feeling confused about something you've read you might find the explanation in there.

"Okay, run this by me again as to why I should help you achieve this ridiculous goal?" Seth asked all the while trying to complete his previous task in slamming his front door shut in Bakura and Marik's faces.
"We told you!" Marik growled angrily putting all his weight against the door, "This Santa Claws is evil! He'll come on the 24th and steal our hikaris!!"
Seth let out a grunt of frustration, still trying to shut the door, much to his aggravation he soon found Bakura's foot wedged between the door and doorframe; "I still fail to see how this would scare me! My light and I have merged as one! I have no need to worry about him being taken away from me for he is my reincarnate!"
"Ah yes! But- OW! You're forgetting one important thing!" Bakura hissed through his teeth.
"Oh? And what might that be?" Seth asked, curious.
"Seto cannot be classified as your light, for he is just what you said: you're reincarnation! So who is really your light? And I don't mean your goddamned brother either!" Bakura panted.
"That's easy... it's Jou- Oh no! NOT JOUNOUCHI!!" Seth screamed stopping the endless struggle for the door. Which to those who guessed it, resulted in both Marik and Bakura flying into the house, which in turn slammed Seth to the ground, which left them in a heap of arms and legs in the middle of the hallway.
"Seto?" A sleepy voice called softly.
All three yamis stiffened and the two tried to make their presence unknown. Seth turned towards the staircase and gasped softly at his love. Jounouchi Katsuya stood at the top of the stairs clad in pale yellow pajamas and a mint green house coat, he stared down at who he thought was Seto rubbing the sleep out of his honey eyes.
It didn't take Jou long to notice the distinct hard look on his love's face or how his eyes seemed two shades darker than their original color. "Seth?" Jou asked baffled, "What are you doing on the floor? Did something bad happen'?"
"No." Seth smiled, "I was just discussing a topic with Bakura and Marik and... it got a little out of hand..."
"Out of hand?" Jou echoed, not believing Seth for a moment and having no problems in showing it.
"Yes, and I was just showing them out." He growled, glaring at the two shadows near the doorway. Jou followed his cold stare and perked up a bit.
"But they came all this way just to visit you. They must be hungry..."
Bakura and Marik both left their hiding places with a triumphant grin on their face. Count on Jou to persuade Seto (and of course Seth) into just about anything.
[a/n: to save you readers from complete confusion. In my Yugioh fics I like to have Jou friends with Bakura and Marik. Why? Because I so love to see them as friends... and I made them friends in Fading Colors. Later chapters people... so there's a spoiler for you...]
"Thanks Jou, we are a bit hungry and Yami will be coming over soon anyway..."
Jou winced at this and plugged his ears while walking towards the kitchen.
"WHAT?! The pharaoh is coming over to my house?!" Seth yelled so angrily you could almost see the flames of hate surrounding his body. "You did not mention that!"
"SETH!!" Jou yelled.
"What!?" He gulped at Jou's glare, "Jou?"
"You're brother is still sleeping and I can't believe you still have that grudge against Yami. Or is it from something else now? Because I honestly thought you had gotten over that thanksgiving incident." Jou said, one blond eyebrow disappearing under his hairline.
Seth let out a nervous chuckle and sat down at the kitchen table along with Bakura and Marik. Jou walked over to the fridge and pulled out a hunk of cheddar cheese and ham. He made the sandwiches, wrapped them in tin foil and set them in the oven. He tapped Seth on the shoulder and pointed to the oven silently telling him to keep an eye on them if they wanted to eat something non-burnt.
"Where are you going?" Seth blurted.
Jou blinked, "Back to bed. I have work in a few more hours and I think I can squeeze in another hour before getting ready for a shower..."
"You mean you're going to leave me alone with them? Have you even heard what those two have been jabbering about?!"
"Yes, and that is precisely why I do not want to be alone with you three at the moment. Whatever crazy ass ideas you guys come up with I want no part in it. I'll just sit by the phone along with Yugi and Ryou and wait to bail your ass outta jail."
"Seth?" Bakura asked after seeing Jou leave the room, "Why is it that you didn't react so strongly to the snow... or did you already go crazy before we got here?"
Seth sighed, "Unlike you nimrods I was reincarnated; I see everything Seto sees."
"So in other words, he made Seto look like a dumb ass at a younger age..." Marik murmured around his mug of hot chocolate.
Bakura laughed and Seth tried to kill the floor with his gaze.
*~*~*~*~*~
"Alright so what is our plan for this Santa Claws?" Yami asked curiously.
"We just have to find him and destroy him."
"Destroy him? Isn't that somewhat of a bad idea? I mean he delivers presents to everybody... it's not like people will just ignore his disappearance." Yami replied weakly.
Seth, Bakura and Marik both looked at him owlishly. "Okay so I think we should start setting up traps for every room of our homes." Marik said starting to scribble away notes on their planning paper.
"Okay..." Seth nodded. "So our main plan is to wait for him to come to us, but shouldn't we interrogate him first? What if our lights find out what we have done and never speak to us again?"
"Oh they'll get over it." Marik replied.
The other three yamis sweat-dropped. "Maybe yours won't but ours/mine will!" They said together.
Thus Marik said something he shouldn't have, and all hell broke loose. All the hired help working at Kaiba's home that afternoon briskly walked by the living room- hearing murderous threats and insane screams was something they did *not* have to handle.
"Um... guys, we have a problem..." Yami interrupted.
Bakura, Marik, and Seth who happened to be in a very comical pose [a/n: if any of you have seen Sailor Moon it will be easier to describe, Bakura's got a firm grip on Marik's hair (as does Marik on his) and his hand is in Marik's mouth pulling at it... and Seth has a death grip on both their (Bakura and Marik) shirts.]
"Whapht?" Marik yelled around Bakura's hand.
"How are we going to find this Santa? We'd have to wait an awfully long time for him to come."
Bakura removed his hand from Marik's mouth but refused to let go of his hair just yet, "Well I remember Ryou telling me that he visits the children in the local malls to hear what they would like for Christmas."
Seth-who had already let go of the two- scratched his chin, he knew something about the Santas' at the malls but he couldn't quite remember... "So what do we do?"
"WE GO TO THE DOMINO MALL!!" Marik cackled insanely, causing the other three yami's to sweat-drop as he used his shadow powers to create the dramatic lightning in the background.
*~*~*~*~*~
"They're up to something." Malik stated, eating another French fry.
Jou laughed nervously, "We could all figure out that much, I'm just saying that it must be something big."
"Why?" Ryou asked slurping on his strawberry milkshake.
"Because Seth is helping them."
Yugi chocked on his burger, Malik dropped his fries, and everyone received a strawberry milkshake spray thanks to Ryou. "W-what do you mean Seth is helping them?" Malik finally stuttered.
All of them were silent remembering the last time Seth decided to help their yamis... that was their trip to the zoo, when Bakura felt that the animals were being treated cruelly. All the yamis then decided to help free the animals. That was the last time Seth had helped them.
[a/n: pretty much Seth only helps the others when they are going to do something _real_ bad]
"What the hell do you think they're up to now?" Yugi sighed.
"I don't know, I just hope I don't have to dig a penguin out of our toilet again." Ryou groaned covering his face with his hands.
"Or bail them out..." Jounouchi murmured.
Yugi, Malik, and Ryou cringed at the thought of three digit numbers and leering police officers. After a moments silence four teenagers ran down the halls of the mall screaming murder on Santa. The four just sat there slurping their pop and shakes in silence, they were not going to interfere... when things got too out of hand then-and only then- would they chase after them.
"Pass the ketchup please." Malik asked.
