Hm. Well, this is a prologue of sorts, I guess. This is written for the Christmas Contast at LittleDragon. M'Kay? I just thought that I'd post this here as well.
Part One : The Ginger Scarf
Kaiba Seto didn't know why he didn't throw out the gift as soon as he had seen
it sitting on his porch-step.
Dressed up in green and gold paper, it looked to be one of the few presents
that actually held some merit of goodwill.
Typically, those like that were the ones that held bombs.
He had opened it regardless, surprised at the slight scent of ginger that
wafted out of the cardboard, and the green-and-blue crocheted scarf that was
held within.
Now he was at school, collar folded down for once and the scarf wound around
his neck.
He was surprised that the simple bit of yarn was actually warm, and that
someone had accurately read him to see that a scarf was the only thing that he
needed for Christmas.
Not that he couldn't go out and buy one himself--it was just that he was too
busy during the fall and winter seasons, and by the time that he had enough
time to brave the stores, scarves had been hidden and bathing suits were
stocked.
His fingers flew over the keyboard, eyes flicking up every once and again to
see the students that trickled slowly into the classroom.
Few, if any, spared him any looks.
He was used to that. It was routine.
This was the last day of school before Christmas break, and as such, they were
going to do nothing all day today.
A waste of time he thought.
Jounouchi wandered into the room, surprisingly early for him. He watched him
sit down and joke with his friends, the quick-silver smile presented for all to
see.
And all he could smell was ginger.
So much for Part One. Oh well, ne?
