Notes: It's break!!!! I had originally intended to update everyday, but keeping up that pace, writing one chapter a day, got very tiresome. So I'm only updating when I want to. This came a couple days ahead of what I promised in my profile, but I'm not complaining. I LOVE MY REVIEWERS! MORE REVIEWS!!!! And.....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MALIK-KOI! (December 23)
Tye: Koi? Wishful thinking.
Any ways, I am aware I messed up last chapter, putting "Calling birds" instead of "turtle doves." Please forgive me!
Review replies are at bottom.
--Ten Days Till Christmas--
On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me: three french hens two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pair tree.
Or, in this case, three pairs of diamond earrings.
"ISIS! NO SCHOOL FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I gleefully tracked mud all over the entry hall, not having taken off my shoes. When, of course, Isis appeared in the doorway.
"I am -not- cleaning that up, otouto." I didn't really care. I flopped down onto a couch. "I am taking it that you are not taking my hints."
I shook my head as I flipped on the TV. "Nope."
"Well then let me say it bluntly." Isis snatched the Channel Changer from my hand. "Wait, where are your gold earrings?!"
:--Ten Days Till Christmas--:
"You know what? I've decided, I'm not taking this anymore! I'm not gonna be some messenger boy sending presents to my sister because the person who's giving them is too scared to do it himself! Sure, Isis is scary, but I'm not going to take it anymore! I'm going to open this with my hands!" And with that short little speech, I opened the very small cubic box in front of me.
"Earrings!" I squealed. Yeah, so I'm into jewelry, so what? I still dig chicks. It's not like I'm gay.
Okay, so I was really talking to nobody. Ichigo-sensei gave me lunch detention, and left. She -left-. She's not technically supposed to do that, is she?
Oh well.
So there were earrings. We've established that. They were three nice, diamond earrings. One was a pretty, femmenine pair that hung down. Probably quite heavy. There was a pair of silver, diamond encrusted hoops. Nice as well. Then, there were two simple diamond studs. These were in a nice diamond shape. I instantly took a liking to them.
So, I took off my normal dangly gold earrings and put them on.
:--Ten Days Till Christmas--:
"Someone gave these to you, and I put them on," I said, tugging at the diamonds currently in mt ears.
"Oh, really?" Isis asked, bemused. "You mean those were for me?"
Oh holy crap. "I meant to say me! I meant to say someone gave these to me!" I jumped off the couch and ran out the door, which, luckily enough, was locked. Lady Luck hates me.
I cowered in terror...
--Ten Days Till Christmas--
"Rishid! Do you want anything to drink? A cookie, brownie, tea, maybe?"
Rishid looked at me oddly as he seated himself on the couch and looked at Isis. "Why is Malik acting like this?"
"Oh, he's just grateful that you saved him," Isis stated as she prepared Rishid a late lunch as he hadn't eaten since he departed from Osaka, "for tracking mud all over the floor."
"Oh. I always thought you kept your floor immaculate." Rishid looked down at his own bare feet, glad he'd disposed of his shoes as soon as he'd arrived. "Oh Malik, nice diamond earrings. Where'd you get them?"
"They were my Christmas presents, right Malik?" Isis pressed.
I nodded meekly. "Hai, nee-san." I looked up at my adopted brother. "Want a pair?"
"Malik, no! It's improper for a man to give away another's gift." Isis walked over and pinched my ear. Holding me still, she easily yanked the earrings out of my ear one by one, painfully, might I add.
"OUCH!" I howled.
Rishid just sipped on his tea.
"How many other pairs are there?" Isis asked, pinching harder.
"OW!!!" I howled again. "Two, Isis! Two more pairs!"
Thankfully, my sister let go. "Go get me them."
I scrambled away, muttering under my breath. "I can't believe her, that b-"
"Malik," Isis said in warning. I think that she'd predicted my cursing at her already, as I wasn't in her ear shot.
I wonder if she knows who's sending her gifts? Wouldn't surprise me if she were sending them herself, just to have an excuse to torture me...
I soon returned with the other two pairs, gold earrings once again dangling from my earlobes. "Here," I muttered.
Isis took the small box.
:--Ten Days Till Christmas--:
(The reason I had lunch detention, in case you were wondering.)
"Hey Bakura, Ryou, Otogi," I whispered to them during homeroom. We were luckily only a few seats away from each other, close enough for whispering. "I'm having a party for my birthday next week. Wednesday. Can you invite people for me?"
"Sure!" Otogi chirped.
Somehow, he didn't get caught. I didn't bother asking, as I knew he'd just say that Lady Luck loved him.
I think he's having an affair with this "Lady Luck," or at least,insert evil snicker here, thinks about it.
Unfortunately, Lady Luck didn't like my perverse mind. "What's so funny, Mr Ishtar?" Ichigo-sensei asked sternly.
"Nothing," I said straightening in my seat.
"No, really, Malik-kun. You are welcome to tell the class why you interrupted my lesson with such a refined demonic laugh."
I glanced at Bakura with a raised eyebrow. Was I really that loud?
My best friend nodded.
"Mr. Ishtar! You now have lunch time detention!"
I sighed. At least after this, there's no school until 2005! YES!
