A/N: This is just a fun little story that I decided to write for Thanksgiving. It will be relatively short. Three maybe four chapters. Many, various pairings. Though the main of Yami/Seto. I shall post another chapter tomorrow (actually, now it is later today) and on Thanksgiving itself, and then perhaps one the day after.

Seto's Thanksgiving Party

By: MercilessTantalus

Chapter 1- Invitations

-----------------------------------------

"Are you sure you really want to do this?" Mokuba asked his brother, eyes shining with concern.

"Yes, I think that I owe you one party in your life. And what better time then when everyone has nothing better to do?" Seto replied, sharing a special smile with the only one he ever does.

"And, I can invite whoever I want, right?"

"Yes, anyone you want."

Mokuba smiled at Seto and left his office with a quick, "Thank you!"

Mokuba ran giddily down the long stairs, and down the hallway, and out the door. He knew exactly who he wanted to invite, and they should all be at the game shop now---

-----------------------------------------

Kaiba smiled after his brother, glad to finally give the younger a present he had wanted for many years. Seto was well aware of who his brother was likely to invite. About the only people Mokuba knew were Yugi and his little gang. But Seto was counting on the fact the gang would be spending their time together, and with their families.

Yugi and Yami would undoubtedly be with their grandfather, Sugoroku, perhaps with the two Jounouchi's; Katsuya and Shizuka. In fact, it was highly likely that Honda, Anzu, Otogi, Ryou, Bakura and Mai would be in attendance as well. *At least Mokuba will not have a difficult time in finding them all, though now I wish I had simply allowed him to spend time with them.* He shook his head, and sighed, *Too late for second thoughts now.*

-----------------------------------------

Mokuba exited the limo, one of his brother's many, and shut the door soundly behind him, "This shouldn't take long. Just wait for me here, ok?"

The driver nodded and Mokuba ran to the entrance of the quaint game shop. Pushing open the door, Mokuba saw, with relief, that all the one's he sought were present. Yugi's grandfather was behind the counter, talking with Yugi, Katsuya, Honda, and Anzu. Mai was talking with Shizuka and Otogi about hair. And Bakura and Ryou were in the corner of the room, arguing about something or other.

Most looked up when Mokuba entered. The three went back to talking about hair, and Ryou and Bakura didn't seem to notice him at all. Yugi ran right over, followed by the others, "Hey Mokuba! What's up?" His grin faded, and he asked, "Is something wrong with Kaiba?"

Yami choose that moment to enter the room, carrying a few boxes. He promptly dropped them, and commanded, "Tell me, what's wrong with Kaiba?"

"Oh, nothing! Nothing at all. In fact he seemed to be in good enough of a mood to allow me to throw a Thanksgiving party. I can invite whoever I want, and I want you all to come!" Mokuba said, smiling broadly at the only friends he's ever known.

"Who's ever heard of a 'Thanksgiving Day party?" Katsuya questioned.

Ignoring him, Yugi's grandfather spoke suddenly, "This is perfect! I am going to visit an old friend for Thanksgiving, and was wondering how the boys would find enough food. Excellent!"

Yugi grinned and said, "Sounds great! I'm in!"

Honda spoke then, "It does sound fun, but Otogi and I will be---busy that day. We can't come."

Otogi blushed slightly and said, "Oh yes, very busy---"

Mai broke in, "Well, I'm free, and have nothing better to do. What about you two?!" She shouted the last part to the two in the corner.

"Are you going, Katsuya?" Bakura asked quickly.

"Sure. Shizuka will be at my mother's, and now that Yugi's going, I guess I will. And I'm sure Kaiba'll have a great spread!"

"Right. Then we'll both be going." Bakura said authoritatively.

"Great!" Mokuba said, joyfully. He then turned to Yami, "Do you want to come?"

Anzu broke in, "You don't have to. I know how you and Kaiba are rivals. You're more then welcome to spend the night at my place, Yami."

Yami frowned slightly, "No. That is not necessary. I will go. Especially if everyone else wishes to."

Anzu sighed, "I might as well too then."

Mokuba grinned broadly again. "Thanks! You guys are the best!" With that, he dashed back out of the shop, stopped then came back. "Oh yeah, and be there by noon!" Then he ran back to the limo. He and his brother had some major shopping to do.

-----------------------------------------

Kaiba sighed, and stretched. He had been at work all day, and it was now 12:47am. He leaned forward and shut down his computer. Standing, he grabbed his briefcase and set off for home. After all, Thanksgiving was, technically, tomorrow. He had to take Mokuba shopping if there was going to be nine eating this year. And after Mokuba's phone call, confirming who would and who would not be going, Kaiba was staring to dread his decision.
