Chapter Eight The Christmas Kiss





Its Christmas Eve, school's out, people are out shopping for those last minute Christmas gifts and me, well, I'm enjoying my time with my surrogate family and my friends. We have snowball fights at the park, go to the arcade, hang out, and play duel monsters.

I'm in the living room looking at the Christmas tree and all the presents underneath. I made me remember about the christmas' I spent with my family and friends. Mom and I always spent our Christmas' in the duel monster realm with my father and the rest of our family. Those wonderful times and my mom got every last duel monster presents. Lucky for me, my mom was insanely rich or we couldn't afford to get our extended family gifts. And for all the Christmas' that came and went over the time since my mother's death, I have always gotten my family presents without the enemy knowing and today is no different.

I got all my shopping done ahead of time and I got gifts for everyone. The duel monsters, Anzu, Joji, Honda, Bakura, Mai, Ouji-san, Fay, Otosan, and I got something really special for Yugi-chan. I can't wait for everyone to see what I got them.

A sweet smell floats from the kitchen to my nose. I inhale deeply, enjoying the delicious aroma. Fay is really going all out preparing Christmas dinner. She's cooking all sorts of delicious treats for us. Spicy curry, rice balls, sweet buns, Caesar salad, sushi, mash potatoes and gravy, buttermilk biscuits, turkey and dressing, chocolate cheesecake, strawberry shortcake, mandarin orange tea and hot apple cider. I can't wait for tomorrow.

"Hey, Zana. What are you doing?" Yugi-chan asked joining me on the floor in front of the Christmas tree.

"Oh, nothing. Just thinking about the Christmas' I spent with my family before my mom died." I told him wistfully.

"I'm sorry, Zana-chan. I didn't mean to-" Yugi-chan started to apologize.

"Its okay. Even though, I won't be able to spend another Christmas with my otosan and the rest of my family, I really don't mind now cause I'm spending it with people just as wonderful as they are. And I know that my otosan and the rest of the duel monsters are just as happy as I am about not spending another Christmas alone." I looked at him with a smile and watched him blushed.

We both looked back at the Christmas tree when Fay walked in. "Okay, you two. Enough of that. Time for bed."

We looked at her strangely.

"Time for bed? Fay, its only 10:00." Yugi said to her.

"I know that and you should be in bed like Ouji-san. You see his in the spirit. Come one, humor me. Just this once, pretend to be little kids waiting for Santa Claus to come." Fay stressed to us. "I'll give you cookies and milk?" She teased.

I giggled and stood up. "Why not? I'm game. Come on, Yugi-chan. Let's play along this time besides she said she'll give us cookies." I said watching Yugi stand up beside me and giggle himself.

"Okay. But, they better be peanut butter chocolate cookies." Yugi told her with a fake glare, his smile giving it away.

"Cool. Well, go on. Morning will be here before you know it and I want us to be ready to open presents tomorrow and to sit down to a wonderful feast that I have prepared." Fay announced proudly.

"Okay, we're going. Good night, Fay. Good night, Yugi-chan." I told them heading upstairs to my room to bed.

"Good night, Zana-chan. Good night, Fay. See you in the morning." Yugi told her. Then, went upstairs to his room.

"I thought they would never leave. Now, I get finish getting everything ready. Yugi and Zana are gonna thank me for this." Fay smiling slyly. ****************************************

The sunlight on my face woke me up. I sat up, yawned, and smiled. Today is Christmas.

"Zana! Get up!! Its time to open presents! Come on!" I heard Fay yell from behind my bedroom door.

"Okay!" I called back. I heard walk off banging on Yugi-chan's and Ouji-san's bedroom door telling them the same thing. I got out of bed and put on my powder blue robe and fuzzy white slippers and preceded downstairs.

Once downstairs, I saw Yugi and Ouji-san sitting on the couch and Fay sitting on the floor in front of the tree.

"Good morning, Ouji-san." I said kissing him on the cheek.

"Good morning, Yugi-chan." I said sitting in between two of the three favorite men of my life.

"Okay, let's get started." Fay began passing out the gifts.

With paper, ribbons, and bows scattering on the floor, everyone had a lot of things.

Ouji-san received two pairs of overalls, one green and the other yellow from Fay. Yugi got Ouji-san a new parka, and I got him a three piece charcoal grey Armani suit.

Yugi got a pair of Nike sneakers from Fay, two pairs of jeans from Ouji-san and one of the gifts I got him was the Dust Tornado trap card. The other gift I got for him is in my room which I will give to him tonight.

Fay received the latest issue of her favorite doujinshi from Yugi-chan, Ouji-san got her the Crocodile Hunter Collision Course dvd and I got her the Men In Black II dvd.

I received a gold necklace from Ouji-san, a cd player from Fay, and Swords of Revealing Light from Yugi-chan.

"Well, that's all of them." Fay said. "Now, got get ready cause you have to go take your gifts to your friends and be back for Christmas dinner at 6pm this evening so don't be late you two." Referring to me and Yugi-chan.

"Okay." I told her and went upstairs to shower and change to go over to our friend's house. I put on red velvet pants, white cotton knit blouse, and white ankle boots. Scooping my gifts for my friends, I rushed downstairs to where Yugi was waiting for me with his gift for them as well. We told Ouji-san and Fay goodbye and were on our way to Anzu's house first.

After leaving Anzu's house, we headed for Joji's, then Honda's, and lastly Bakura's house. Yugi-chan and I headed home with our arms full of gifts from our friends for us and for Fay and Ouji-san. It was quarter to six when we walked in the door and were greeted by the aroma of freshly baked bread.

"Mmm. Hey, Fay. Dinner smells wonderful." I called out as Yugi and I put Ouji-san's and Fay's gift from everyone under the tree. We went upstairs to the kitchen to find the table set and most of the food being set out.

"Wow, Fay! You went all out for dinner didn't you?" Yugi said his mouth watering looking at all the delicious dishes on the table. Ouji-san walked in.

"Looks good, Fay. I still wish you would have let me help you." Ouji-san said.

"What? I let you have everyone trying not to hurl to keep from hurting your feelings? No thanks." Fay said setting the last dish on the table.

"Okay, everyone go wash up for dinner." Fay told us.

Yugi-chan and I walked to the bathroom and washed our hands and walked by to the kitchen and took our seats at the table beside each other while Fay and Ouji-san sat beside each other on the opposite side.

"Ouji-san, would you bless the food, please?" Fay asked.

"Of course." We bowed our heads as Ouji-can said the blessing.

"Alright! Dig in everyone!" Fay announced.

And we did. Everything was heavenly. The food disappeared quickly since we skipped breakfast and lunch due to the fact of opening presents and visiting our friends so we were more than hungry. We stuffed ourselves silly.

"That was delicious! My compliments to the chef." I said to Fay.

"Why, thank you love. I'm glad everyone enjoyed themselves."

"Boy, I know I did. I never ate so much." Yugi said patting his stomach.

"Diddo." I agreed.

"Well, I better get started on the dishes." Fay said getting up, taking her and Ouji-san's plates and going to the sink.

"I'll help you." I told her taking my plate and Yugi's to the sink. "You guys go relax. We'll take care of things here."

Yugi and Ouji-san went to the living room to watch t.v. as Fay and I washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen and put away the leftover food in the fridge. Then, we went and joined Yugi and Ouji-san in the living room watching the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. After the movie, we played a few rounds of duel monsters, watched Fay and Ouji-san open they're gift from our friends, and talked while looking at the Christmas tree.

"Well, its getting late. I'm going to bed. Its been a long day." Ouji-san said standing up from the couch and stretching. "Good night everyone."

"Good night, Ouji-san." We said to him watching him leave the living room.

"Well, guess I'll head for bed too." Yugi-chan said.

I immediately stood up from my seat on the floor. "Yugi-chan, I come with you. There's something else I want to give you for Christmas and I wanted to give it to you in private."

"S-sure. Okay." Yugi said nervously.

"Hey, you two. No sex." Fay teased.

"Fay, shut up." I told her trying not to blush her comment. Yugi-chan was already beet red and Fay laughed at us as we left and headed for Yugi's bedroom. I closed his door and joined him in the lotus position on his bed.

"Yugi-chan, I got you two gifts for Christmas. One you open already, but this was really special that I wanted to give it to you when we were alone." I removed a small, carefully wrapped gift from behind my back. "Here."

Yugi took the gift from my hand and gently removed the paper so not to damaged what was inside.

"Its a duel monster card." He said. The picture on the card was of a sword piercing a heart surrounded by a white aura.

"Yes. Its the power of true love card. This card can only be used to resurrect a monster that is also not a monster. Only if the summoner's love of that monster is true and unconditional, will the power of true love card be released." I told him. "It belonged to my mother, given to her from my father. I want you to have it."

He looked at me and blushed. "Thank you. I will treasure it always."

I smiled and looked up and saw something.

"Hey, Yugi-chan look." Getting his attention without looking down.

"Huh?" He looked up at the ceiling. "Is that mistletoe? That Fay." He let out a short, nervous laugh.

I looked at him smiling.

"Let's do it." I said.

He looked at me confused. "Huh?"

"Let's do it. Let's kiss." I said leaning towards him.

"Uh..um..I uh," Yugi studdered as I got closer.

"Its alright. Just close your eyes and relax." I told him closing my eyes.

Our lips met in a soft kiss, then deepened. Yugi-chan's lips were soft and sweet. I wrapped my arms around his neck and felt him wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled my to his chest, surrounded by in his warmth.

So into the kiss were we, we didn't notice Yugi-chan's door open and Fay stick her head in. She smiled and gently closed the door so she wouldn't disturb the moment. ***************************************

"Master. There is still no sign of the princess." a guy a jet black suit with dark sunglasses said.

"Any ideas on where she may have gone?" a figure in a cloak said.

"There's a strong possibility that she may have gone to Domino City to seek the protect of King of Games, Yugi Motou and his friends." Another guy in a suit answered.

"I see. Then, go to Domino City and set up surveillance. Go!" The figure told them.

"Yes sir!" The three suits ran out the room.

"Soon, I will have everything I want. Everything." the figure said looking at the photo of XZanayu at age six.
