A Very Merry Yu-Gi-Oh Christmas!
Hey Everyone, This is Alisi Thorndyke with a Yu-Gi-Oh! Holiday fic. I hope you all enjoy it.
On with the story.
Chapter 1: Dec. 23rd
The spirit of Christmas has definitely fallen among the City of Domino. All the recipients are out and about decorating their houses and yards. The mall is packed with last minute shoppers. Yep, the spirit of Christmas is definitely in full swing.
The Kaiba Manor
Upstairs in the study of the Mansion, sits Seto, who is going over his list he has made for his family.
"Ok, Pernia gets her Sapphire necklace, Noah gets his long lasting Battery and Mokuba, well, I'm going to have to go on my instincts with him." Seto speaks aloud, going over his list one last time. Now having done that, Seto puts the list down on the desk and turns towards the window, seeing that snow has begun falling again.
"I know the mall is going to be packed and with snow falling, the streets are going to be a mess." Seto speaks, standing from the desk. "Better goget this over with."
Grabbing his coat off the back of the chair, Seto grabs the list and proceeds to put his coat on.
"I hope Pernia and the boys are done with their lists so we can take care of this and come home as soon as possible." Seto says, turning the lamp on the desk off. Coming from around the desk, Seto proceeds to exit his office.
Master Bedroom
In the master bedroom of the mansion, Pernia is also going over her Christmas list she has made.
"Ok, let me just go over this one last time." Pernia speaks, looking over her list once more. "Mai, Arora, Yami, Yugi, Mokuba, Noah and Seto. Ok, I got everyone." (Am I missing anyone?)
Setting the list on the nightstand, Pernia proceeds to put on her other boot. When she gets the boot on, Mokuba and Noah run into the room with their lists in their hands.
"We're ready to go Pernia." Mokuba announces to Pernia.
"Ok. I will be in one minute." Pernia replies. "Where is Seto?"
Pernia's question is answered once Seto enters the room.
"Someone looking for me?" Seto inquires with a sly smile.
"I was." Pernia answers him.
"Well, here I am." Seto replies to her. "You two go wait downstairs. We'll be down shortly."
Mokuba and Noah does as instructed and leaves the room, now heading down the stairs to wait for Pernia and Seto.
"You look nice and comfortable." Seto comments, noticing Pernia's attire. "Like a little snow bunny."
Her attire consist of a dusty rose pink sweater, with matching suede pants and matching boots.
"Thanks." Pernia smiles to Seto. "I am comfortable. You look comfortable as well."
Seto smiles.
"That mall is going to be packed full of people." Seto comments as Pernia heads to the closet.
"Well this is December 23rd." Pernia begins, pulling her coat out of the closet. "People who didn't have time to do it before now, thanks to their jobs or whatever they had going on, are making up for it now."
"Well, I want to get this trip over with so we can come home, and get out of the cold." Seto replies.
"As do any last minute shopper." Pernia comments, putting her coat on. "I can't wait to come back so we can begin decorating."
"If all goes well, hopefully, we'll be home before 7pm." Seto replies to her.
Now having her coat on, Pernia grabs her list off the nightstand and puts in her pocket. She then grabs her purse.
"Ok, I'm ready to go." Pernia says to Seto.
"Ok, go ahead of me. I'll be down in a minute." Seto speaks to her.
Pernia does as instructed and exits the room, now heading for the staircase the leads the lower level. Now reaching the staircase, Pernia proceeds down until she reaches the living room.
"Ok boys, get your coats on. Seto will be down shortly." Pernia announces to the two, now walking into the main part of the living room where they boys are sitting on the couch. Mokuba and Noah does as instructed and heads to the coat rack to bundle up. The boys proceed to put on their coats for when Seto comes downstairs.
"Ok, everyone, let's go." Seto speaks, pulling out house his keys.
Both boys finish bundling up and head out of the door, to the limousine.
"What were you doing up there?" Pernia inquires to Seto.
"Had to grab a few things." Seto answers her. "And now that I have them, we can go."
Pernia heads out the door to the limousine, while Seto sets the alarm and locks the doors to the mansion. After doing that, he heads to the limousine and climbs in, joining everyone else.
"Where to Mr. Kaiba?" The driver inquires.
"Domino City Mall." Seto answers him.
The driver has his instructions and everyone is now heading to the mall.
Domino City Mall
The limousine has arrived at the mall and pulls up on the curb. The driver jumps out and opens the door. Everyone piles out and heads inside the mall. Once they get inside, Mokuba and Noah removes their hats.
"Ok everyone, as soon as you are done with your shopping, we all meet back here." Seto announces. "Remember, we meet here at JC Penny's."
"Got it." Mokuba speaks up.
"Mokuba, I want you and Noah to pair up." Seto says to him. "I don't want him getting lost around here."
"Alright." Mokuba replies.
"Ok, Let's get this over with." Seto says.
Everyone breaks and goes their own way. Seto pulls out his list and begins looking it over.
"I'll go take care of Pernia's gift first since the store I am buying it from is right behind me." Seto says to himself, now going in the direction of the jewelry store.
Continuing to the jewelry store, Seto has nothing on his mind but what he's going in the store to get and how happy his wife will be on Christmas morning. He continues his thoughts until he spots Yami exiting the store. Seto stops dead in his tracks. Yami looks up to see Seto and smiles.
"Hey Kaiba." Yami greets to Seto, now walking over to him. Seto doesn't say anything.
"Out of all the places to run into you at, it had to be here." Seto speaks, with venom running through his words.
"Well, I had to come get a gift for Arora." Yami answers Seto. "I couldn't find it anywhere else."
"And you couldn't do that some place else?" Seto continues in a harsh tone.
"Kaiba, I refuse to fight with you today." Yami says to him. "And I have to run. I have Yugi's gift to buy."
"How nice for you." Seto says to him.
"Tell your family I said Merry Christmas and hello." Yami says to Seto, now walking off.
Seto watches as Yami walks out of sight.
"I can never enjoy any place to myself because I always seem to run into him nearly every where I go." Seto mumbles to himself, continuing inside the jewelry store.
Bath and Body Works
Bath and Body works is packed, but isn't as full as every other store in the mall seems to be. Pernia enters the store, having left the video store, having already taken care of Mokuba's present.
"Something smells good." Pernia comments, trying to follow the scent. Letting her nose do the leading, Pernia is drawn a shelf where the sweet smell is coming from. Pernia spots the perfume bath set that is letting off the smell. The bath set is complete with body lotion, body spray, and shower gel. The name of the set is called "The Essence of Spring."
"MMM, The Essence of Spring smells great." Pernia says to herself, picking the set up off the shelf.
"I wonder how much this costs." Pernia inquires. "Arora will love this."
Deciding to buy it, Pernia takes the product to the counter to have the price scanned.
"Excuse me ma'am." Pernia begins, getting the lady's attention. "How much is this?"
The lady picks up the object and scans it.
"$27.98." The woman answers Pernia.
"Ok, I'll take it." Pernia replies, taking out her credit card from her purse and handing it to the woman. The woman proceeds to ring up the item. Once she's done ringing it up, she hands Pernia a receipt to sign. Pernia signs it and hands it back to the woman, now grabbing her purchase and her credit card. Placing her credit card in her purse, Pernia exit's the store.
"Alright, Arora is taken care of." Pernia says taking out her list and scratching Arora's name off. "Now to take care of Seto and I know just where to find his gift."
Pernia heads off to the watch store to find Seto's gift.
Hardware Store
Mokuba and Noah now exit the hardware store, with Mokuba having already bought Noah's gift.
"Ok, you are taken care of." Mokuba states to Noah, scratching his name off the list. "I have Pernia, Seto, Yugi and Arora left to take care of."
"What about Yami?" Noah inquires.
"Oh crap, thanks for saying something." Mokuba thanks Noah. "I almost forgot about him."
"Well, I have to buy your gift now so come on." Noah says to Mokuba. "And once we get there, I want you to wait outside so you don't see what I buy for you."
"Fine." Mokuba answers Noah.
Noah and Mokuba are now heading to the store where Noah is going to buy Mokuba's present.
Jewelry Store
Seto has just bought Pernia's gift and is now exiting the store.
"Ok, Pernia is taken care." Seto says pulling his list out of his pocket and scratching her name off. "Now to take care of Noah and then lastly Mokuba."
Seto places his list back in his pocket and is now heading to the hardware store. Seto continues walking until he reaches the up escalator. Stepping onto the escalator, Seto quietly takes the ride up to the upper floor. Once the escalator reaches the upper floor, Seto gets off and proceeds to the hardware store to buy Noah's gift.
Watch Store
Pernia is looking in the row of watches, trying to find a Rolex she plans to buy for Seto. Continuing to look, Pernia finds a watch perfect for Seto. It's a Rolex watch with a silver band and a gold lining around the watch face. Picking the watch off the rack, Pernia takes to the counter.
"Excuse me sir." Pernia speaks, getting the sales rep's attention behind the counter. The rep turns to Pernia and smiles.
"How may I help you?" The rep inquires to her with a smile.
"Yes, how much is this watch?" Pernia inquires.
Taking the item from her, the rep scans it and the price comes up on the register.
"$119.95." The rep replies to her.
"Ok, I'll take it." Pernia says to him, pulling out her credit card and handing it the rep. Going through the same routine she did at Bath and Body works, the rep rings the watch up and hands Pernia a receipt to sign. Pernia signs it and grabs her purchase and her card.
"Thank you and come again." The rep greets Pernia, as she leaves the store.
Once Pernia gets outside the store, She takes her list out of her pocket and scratches Seto's name off.
"Ok, Seto is taken care of." Pernia says to herself, now looking over her list to see who she has left to buy for. "Ok, now to get Noah's gift and I know just where to find that."
Pernia places her list back in her pocket and heads to the store where she's going to buy Noah's gift.
After the shopping Spree
The shopping spree is finally over for the Kaiba's. Everyone has taken care of everyone on their lists. The meeting spot where Seto assigned for everyone to meet at, only has two people awaiting for the others to show up. The two who are awaiting are Mokuba and Noah.
"Ok, Seto told us to meet here and so far, we're the only ones here." Mokuba begins. "Where are they?"
"I passed Pernia up on the upper level and she has tons of bags so I'm guessing she should be down soon." Noah adds in.
Looking at his watch, Mokuba looks at the time.
"It's 6:45pm." Mokuba reads aloud. Noah doesn't comment to what Mokuba just said and looks to his left, now seeing Pernia walking up to them, with a ton of bags occupying her arms.
"Here comes Pernia now." Noah informs Mokuba. "She is swamped."
Mokuba looks up to see Pernia with tons of bags.
"Man, she did more shopping then the both of us put together." Mokuba comments.
Pernia stops once she reaches the boys.
"Ok, I am totally done with my shopping." Pernia says setting some bags on the ground. "Everyone on my listis taken care of."
"Ok, now that you are here, Where's Seto?" Mokuba inquires to Pernia.
"He should be coming along soon." Pernia answers Mokuba. "I passed him up on the upper level."
Seto, then, shows up, joining the others at the meeting spot.
"Ok, is everyone done shopping?" Seto inquires to the others.
"I definitely am." Pernia answers him.
"I am." Mokuba answers.
"Me too." Noah adds in.
"Ok, now, let's head home." Seto says, with everyone now leaving the mall. They all head out to the limo and climb in.
"I am so glad that's over." Mokuba comments.
"Well, now we get to head home, where I can get started wrapping." Seto adds in.
The limo pulls away from the mall and is now taking the Kaiba family home.
Kaiba Mansion
The Limousine has just pulled up into the Kaiba mansion driveway. The driver jumps out and opens the door for the others.
"James, you get the rest of the day off and you get the day off tomorrow as well." Seto tells the driver. "And you get Christmas day off as well, paid."
James smiles.
"Thank you sir." The driver thanks Seto.
Mokuba and Noah, along with Pernia climb out of the limo with their bags and head to the mansion. When they get to the doors Pernia's stops them.
"Wait a minute boys." Pernia speaks up. "I have to turn the alarm off before you can go in."
Putting her bags down, Pernia pulls out the house keys and unlocks the doors and once she enters the mansion, she immediately turns the alarm off.
"Ok, come on in, it's safe." Pernia informs the boys.
Mokuba and Noah enter the mansion, with Seto following with his bags. The two boys head upstairs to their rooms, while Seto and Pernia stay on the ground floor at the coat rack.
"Well, that was fun." Pernia begins as she takes her coat off and hands it to Seto.
"It most certainly was." Seto agrees with her, hanging up his and her coat on the rack. "I can't wait to see your face light on up on Christmas morning after you find out what I picked out for you."
"I can't wait." Pernia comments to Seto with a smile. "You'll be equally surprised when you see what I got for you."
Seto wraps his arms around Pernia and pulls her closer, now planting a kiss on her lips. Pernia returns the kiss.
"Seto, I had an idea while I was doing my shopping." Pernia begins. "Well, actually, I got the idea from over hearing a conversation in the video store."
"What is your idea?" Seto inquires, kissing her lips again.
"Well, I got the idea about having a Christmas party." Pernia says to him. "It will complete the holiday season."
"A Christmas party huh?" Seto repeats. "Well, if you want a Christmas party, then you got one."
Pernia smiles and plants a kiss on his lips.
"Thanks Seto." Pernia thanks him. "You're the best."
"I know." Seto adds. "Anything for you."
"I'm going to run these upstairs and after that, call Arora and Mai so they can help me arrange things for the party." Pernia says grabbing all of her bags. "And they can help us decorate."
"Great, just what I need." Seto mumbles to himself. "Mai and Arora, the two people who bring any holiday down."
Pernia heads up the stairs to the bedroom. Once she reaches the bed room, she puts all of the bags in the closet and after that, heads to phone on the nightstand, to make her call to Mai and Arora.
