Chapter Sixteen: Traditions
"What are these?" Yami asked, holding one of the ornaments that Botan was attempting to place onto the over-decorated tree.
"It's called a bulb or an ornament. You put it on the Christmas tree to make it look nice." Botan explained admiring the somewhat shaggy looking tree. Sugoroku had kept the thing for years, and it was so raggedy. Yet Yugi argued that plastic trees didn't expire so it was still good.
Who knew that Mutou's were cheap?
Yami then picked up the tinsel and shook it curiously.
"What's this shiny stuff?" He wiggled in his cross-legged pose and Botan sighed. Why hadn't Yugi told his dark about Christmas?
"It's called tinsel. You toss it on the tree, like this!" She grabbed away the green and red colored strings and threw it onto the tree in a messy fashion.
"Oh. I can't believe that Yugi never taught me this stuff!" Yami said in a half-pout.
"Oh yes, and it has nothing to do with the fact that you were either saving the world or dueling during the holidays." Botan replied dryly as Yami nodded, missing her sarcasm. Standing up and dusting herself off, Botan motioned for Yami to follow her.
"Come on, I think Yugi's making s'mores in the kitchen." She said in excitement as Yami tilted his head to the side.
"Some more? Some more what?" He asked as Botan shook her head, giggling softly.
"No, not 'some more' s'mores. It's a chocolate bar inside two gram crackers and a melted marsh-mellow. It's yummy." She explained as Yami raised an eyebrow but said nothing. It didn't really sound too good.
As the two walked through the kitchen door together, Yami stopped and pulled something from off the wall.
"What's this Botan?" He asked, dangling the plant in front of her face. She blushed a dark crimson color.
"That's uh... called mistletoe Yami... uh... when two people meet under it... they... er... kiss." Her blush turned a fuschia color and Yami also blushed faintly.
"I guess we have to kiss now. Since it's tradition?" Botan nodded and slowly the gap between the two closed and their lips met.
Suddenly though, half-way through the kiss, Yugi peeked up from his hiding spot behind a counter. He held a camera to his face and grinned.
"Say cheese!" Before his dark or Botan could react, the picture had been taken.
"YUGI!"
