The Bunny Slippers

By Juel Haruna

We're back! Time for part two! What will happen next?


Part 2 . . . A Kind Someone on Christmas Day

The week flew by faster than a cheetah. Christmas Eve; Seto laid out the presents as Mokuba slept. The butler and the maid stood nearby watching him.

"Would you like any help Master Kaiba?" asked the maid.

"No, I'm fine, you two can go rest now."

Soon, all of the gifts were laid out nicely. It was around 10:30 and Seto was about to go to bed. He was half way up the stairs when he stubbed his toe on one of the steps and fell back down to the first floor. On the second floor, Mokuba woke up with a start.

"Santa!"

Mokuba jumped out of bed and raced out of the room.

Meanwhile downstairs, Seto pulled himself up and gripped his foot.

"What did my foot ever do to anyone?"

Seto spotted Mokuba running down from the top of the stairs.

"SANTA! SANTA! SANTA! SANTA! SANTA!"

Seto jumped up, ran up the stairs, grabbed Mokuba, covered his eyes, and struggled up the stairs.

"SETO! I WANNA SEE SANTA!"

"He's not here yet…"

"Let go of me!"

"It's past your bedtime…"


The next morning, Mokuba woke up at 5:30 and pummeled Seto out of bed.

"Come on Seto! Santa came! Let's go open our presents!"

Mokuba rushed down the stairs as Seto got dressed. Walking down the steps, Seto thought about the happy smile that would be on Mokuba's face when he hadspotted all of the gifts under the sparkling green tree. As soon as Seto reached the last step, Mokuba ran into his arms.

"Merry Christmas Big Brother!"

Seto embraced his arms around the small boy and smiled.

"Merry Christmas Mokuba…"

Finally, the two brothers sat around the Christmas tree and opened the colorfully wrapped gifts. Even the butlers and maids got a present! When they thought all the boxes and bags were opened, the doorbell rang. Seto and Mokuba looked at each other as the butler answered the door. He came back with a package.

"Master Kaiba, this package was left at the door for you, but it doesn't have a return address…"

Kaiba took the brown box and opened it with caution (in case it was like, a bomb or something…).

"I wonder who it's from…" said Mokuba as he looked into the box.

Every one waited for a response. There was an interesing look on Seto's face for a minute (that was very unlike him), then it turned into a smile.

Every one watched as Seto pulled out of the box, a pair of white . . .

"Bunny Slippers!" exclaimed Mokuba.

"But who…?"

Seto just laughed a kind laugh.

"I guess an anonymous someone's been thinking of me…" said Seto as he put them on.

"Well, whoever it was, thank you…"

Mokuba smiled. It was the first time in a long time that Seto has smiled like that, or even laughed.

"Well, no more foot problems for me!" said Seto as he stood up.

(Whoa, scary . . .)

Everyone looked out the window as the soft snow drifted to the ground.

"This is the best Christmas ever!" cried Mokuba.


But who could have sent Seto the bunny slippers? Was it Rebecca or Tom, the Butler or the maid, the couple that we saw in town? Or could it even have been the one and only Santa Cause?

I guess we'll never know who gave the gift of the warm, white Bunny Slippers!


The End! Hope you liked it! Just so you know, I'm not going to tell you who sent them. Hehe, it is so fun to torture you all through writing! Also, if you're wondering who Tomis, he's one of my characters (I'll write a story about him some day!). Well, think happy thoughts world, and Merry Christmas! (Even thought it's the beginning of March…) Please Review, it will prevent me from destroying the universe!
