The X-mas party continues as normal.

Derek- Hi again everyone, sorry for the lack of updates. Anyway, I'm gonna finish this so I can get to work on other things.

Damian- It's about time, too. I was starting to think you'd never get back to this.

Derek- Yeah, well, I've been thinking of the ending, and it's looking great so far. Anyway, ON WITH THE SHOW!!!!


The next day, Yugi was determined to find out as much about Kaiba as he could. He set out with a pen and paper, so he wouldn't miss anything. His first stop was the orphanage, where Kaiba had started out, and managed a meeting with the administrator. (A/N I have no idea what the title is for the person that runs an orphanage, so I'm going with this.)

Yugi- "Now, please tell me everything you know about Kaiba."

Admin- "Kaiba, eh? Well... (fades into flashback.)

FLASHBACK

Kaiba and Mokuba first arrive at the orphanage.

Admin's voice (AV)- "He arrived here some years ago with his little brother. They mostly kept together, never talking to anyone else. We raised him just like any other kid, with a deep love of Christmas."

Kaiba (I think he was 10 when he was in the orphanage) is in class, a piece of paper is on his desk, with a picture of Santa's sleigh being shot down, and the words 'DIE X-MAS' written in several places.

PAUSE FLASHBACK

Yugi is talking with Kitty. (throughout this flashback he'll be in a few different places, I won't put the places every time, so just remember that every person talking about Kaiba is in a different place outside the flashback.)

Kitty- "Did I have a crush on Kaiba?!"

BACK TO FLASHBACK

Kitty is at her desk, looking across the room at Kaiba with a dreamy look on her face.

Kitty's voice (KV)- "Well of course not. I was far too busy with my... studies."

Yugi's voice (YV)- "Um, actually, I never asked you that."

KV- "Oh..."

PAUSE FLASHBACK

Pegasus- "I don't like talking about Kaiba this time of year. It's never a good subject." He turns to Marik, who's shining his shoes, "Put your back into it! Anyway..."

BACK TO FLASHBACK

Pegasus' voice (PV)- "He was interested in Kitty, but she was my girl." (A/N Please don't kill me Kitty, it's for the sake of the story. holds up hands to shield himself)

Kaiba is staring back at Kitty, with the same expression as she had.

PV- "I tried to take him under my wing."

Pegasus, with Marik behind him, walk in front of Kaiba as he's leaving the class.

Pegasus- "You've got on chance with her, don't let me catch you around her again. Don't even look at her."

Kaiba is back at the orphanage, searching through the trash, the supply closet, and several other places.

AV- "When he got back that day, he really got into the holiday spirit for the first time."

Kaiba is in the kitchen, pulling out drawers, and tossing them on a workbench, scattering silverware everywhere.

Kaiba- "Oops. Hehe."

Kaiba goes through the administrator's desk, then finds on the top a metal, handmade model of a Formula One racer. Kaiba picks it up and looks at it.

Kaiba- "What a valuable, priceless model."

Kaiba slams it on the workbench and starts to hack away with several tools. After a couple hours of work Kaiba sets a 'less than perfect' model of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, made to put on top of a Christmas tree.

The next day in class, everyone is exchanging gifts. After several moments, the teacher looks around.

Teacher- "Has everyone given out there gift?"

Kaiba- "I haven't." He came out from behind the Christmas tree, holding a box in his hand. "Merry Christmas, Kitty." He walked over and gave it to her. "You might want to wait until you get home to open it."

Teacher- "No, no, you know the rules. No secret presents. The entire class should be able to see it."

Kaiba-"But-"

Teacher- "No 'buts'."

Kaiba- "Alright." He took back the box, then opened it, revealing another, smaller box.

Teacher- "Now open that one, too."

Kaiba went through a couple more boxes, then finally pulled out the Blue- Eyes ornament. Pegasus burst out laughing at the sight of it.

Pegasus- "You call that a gift!? That piece of junk?! That thing doesn't even belong in the garbage!" A few of the other kids joined in the laughter. The teacher was trying to get them to stop, but they kept laughing. Kaiba was getting red with anger.

Kaiba-"STUPID PRESENT!!!" Kaiba chucked the ornament across the room, breaking it into several pieces, and scaring the other kids, who started screaming and running. "STUPID HOLIDAY!!!!" he tossed a nearby chair out a window, scaring the kids even more. Then he tipped over the tree and hauled it up over his head. "I, HATE, CHRISTMAS!!!!" he tossed the tree across the room.

PAUSE FLASHBACK

Pegasus- "The anger!"

Marik- "The fury!"

Kitty- "The muscles!"

BACK TO FLASHBACK

Kaiba ran to the door, taking one last glance at Kitty, then ran. He grabbed Mokuba by the arm on his way out, and took off down the street.

PAUSE FLASHBACK

Yugi walked down the street back to the game shop. He stopped and looked out at Kaiba Corp., then sighed and continued on.

BACK TO FLASHBACK

Kaiba and Mokuba are standing on top of the hill where Kaiba Corp. would be. Kaiba looks down on Domino with a look of anger.

END FLASHBACK

So, whatever the reason, Kaiba hated Christmas. And for maybe the same reason, Kaiba hated the people of Domino.

Kaiba is standing in front of Kaiba Corp., exactly where he stood those years ago when he first was on the hill. He pulled out a telephone book, and flipped to the first page. He started reading off names, yelling his hatred of the person after every name. After about ten names music entered Kaiba's ears. He stopped and listened.

Kaiba- "Darn, it's their celebration. MOKUBA!!! GET ME MY SEDATIVE!!!!" Kaiba gets back into his office, holding a big mallet in his hand. "This ought to get rid of those pesky memories." He whacked himself in the forehead, and fell unconscious.


Derek- There's the chapter. Hope you liked it.

???- DOOM!!!!!

Derek- What the heck? HOLY!!!!! (takes off running, being chased by Kitty)

Kitty- I'LL GET YOU!!!!

Derek- HELP ME!!!!

He runs by Marik and Bakura (Yes, I let them in. I just wanted to make them suffer first.) Marik puts his leg out and trips him up, and he falls face first.

Derek- Note to self, kill Marik after hospital visit.

Kitty jumps on him and a cartoon fight cloud appears.

Kitty- PAIR ME UP WITH PEGASUS WILL YOU!?!?!

Derek- I SAID I WAS SORRY!!! OW!!!! I'M SORRY!!!!! YEEOW!!!! MY SPLEEN!!!!

Damian- (sweatdropping) Well, after my hikari get out of the hospital, and kills Marik, the next chapter should be up.

Derek- DEAR RA IT HURTS!!!!! I THINK I CAN TASTE MY SPINE!!!!

Damian- Please review. (flinches) Ow, THAT had to hurt.
