Sorry this took so long! The holidays are crazy. Anyway, here it is! The final chapter! Enjoy! I don't own YuGiOh.

Edit: Okay, Christmas eve. Here's the final update.

Chapter 6

Kaiba looked around. Yes, this was indeed his room. "I'm back," he whispered. Then, he sprang from his bed and ran to the window, threw it open, and looked out into the street.

"It's morning."

Looking around, Kaiba saw that man from yesterday—the one he had almost run over. "Hey, you!" Kaiba yelled.

The man jumped, startled, and looked up. He groaned. "Not you again! Listen, I'm sorry! I didn't see you!"

Kaiba shook his head, saying, "Never mind that. What day is it?"

The man on the street gave Kaiba a strange look. "Uh, it's Christmas, dude!"

Kaiba sighed in relief. I haven't missed it, he thought. Then he thought of something else.

"Hey! Do me a favor and go buy a nice, big turkey! Then take it to Joey Wheeler! Got that?"

"And you want me to buy it with what, my money?"

"Come inside, and I'll give you the money. And some extra for your trouble."

The man came in, and Kaiba handed him more money than was really necessary, handing him an entire briefcase filled with the green stuff.

"Make sure you don't tell them who it's from, got that?" Kaiba added as the man turned to go.

"No problem, man! Thanks!" And with that, he ran off to find a turkey.

Kaiba, meanwhile, was trying to get ready for Christmas.

"I need gifts! I can't go to Noah's Christmas party empty-handed!" he said as he rushed out of his room.

He came back a moment later when he realized he was still in his pajamas. Hurriedly, he got dressed, then ran out again.

"I hope that somewhere is open!" he said as he hurried out the door.

The servants were all staring as he rushed through the home, wishing them a merry Christmas. They were baffled.

"Master Seto, are you feeling alright?" the maid asked.

"I'm feeling great! It's Christmas morning, and I've got a party to attend. By the way, what are you doing here? Go home and celebrate with your family!"

The maid looked confused for a moment before smiling. "Yes, Master Seto! Of course!"

As she turned to leave, Kaiba called, "Tell the rest of the staff the same! And merry Christmas!"

Stepping out of the door, Kaiba saw the two men from yesterday who had been asking for donations.

"Hey! You two!"

The men turned, slightly startled, as Kaiba walked over to them.

"I have a bone to pick with you two."

"Sir, we weren't here to ask for your money," one of the men said. "We just—"

"Save it," he interrupted, pulling a wad of cash out of his pocket. "I need you to take this."

The man took the money from Kaiba, fingering through and counting. "Why, there must be—"

"Not enough?" Kaiba asked, reaching into his pocket and pulling out another wad of cash. "Fine. Here's another few hundred. But I'm not giving you a cent more, got that?"

The men both gaped at him. "Oh, thank you, Mr. Kaiba! Thank you!" one said as Kaiba walked off.

"Merry Christmas," Kaiba called back.

"Merry Christmas!" the two men answered.

Meanwhile, at the Wheeler residence, a man approached the door with a turkey. He knocked on the door and waited.

When Mai opened the door, the man handed her the turkey and said, "Here. A gift from someone who wants to remain anonymous."

Mai stared at the turkey, then looked at the delivery boy. "Who are you?" she asked.

"Just the messenger. Merry Christmas!"

"Wait a minute!" Mai called as the man ran off. "Are you sure you've got the right house!?"

The man didn't answer—he just kept running. Mai stared at the turkey in shock. Joey came to see what was going on, took one look at the turkey, and said, "Who's that from?"

Mai shrugged and said, "No idea. He didn't say."

Meanwhile, Kaiba was on his way to Noah's Christmas party. When he knocked on the door, Noah answered. He seemed shocked to see Kaiba there.

"Seto! You actually came!" he said, ushering Kaiba inside. "Moki, guess who's here!"

Mokuba came into the hallway, and froze when he saw Kaiba. Then, he charged his older brother in a hug. "Seto! You actually came!"

Kaiba laughed. "Of course, Mokuba. Didn't I say I would?"

The guests were all shocked to see Seto Kaiba looking so merry at a Christmas party, but they soon adjusted to this strange sight. As the party went on, Kaiba found he was actually enjoying himself—the games, the food, the company was even decent. And, much to his surprise, Noah had invited an old friend.

"Seto?" a familiar female voice spoke behind him. Kaiba turned and saw Kisara, the woman of his dreams who he had driven away so long ago. She was wearing a red skirt and a white shirt, the lace sleeves hanging off her shoulders.

"Hello, Kisara," he said.

The two talked for awhile, catching up. After a little while, Kisara raised an eyebrow.

"Seto, what happened?" she asked with a smile. "You seem so...different. Much more like yourself."

Kaiba smiled at her and said simply, "A few friends showed me what an idiot I've been lately."

Kisara's smile widened, and someone suddenly yelled, "Mistletoe!" Kaiba jumped and looked up. He and Kisara were standing under the mistletoe. Slowly, he leaned in and kissed her.

It was the best Christmas Kaiba had had in a long time.

The next day, Kaiba was tapping his fingers on his desk impatiently. Joey had not yet arrived. Suddenly, Kaiba's employee came skidding into the room. Kaiba stood up.

"You're late, Wheeler!"

Joey cringed. "Sorry, sir, but—"

"Save it! I don't want excuses! I want employees I can count on!"

Joey sighed, certain that he was about to get fired. Kaiba smiled and said, "Like you, Wheeler."

Joey jumped, staring at Kaiba in confusion. "I'm sorry. Can you repeat that?"

"You've put up with me this whole time when others wouldn't have. You toughed it out instead of telling me to stick it. And, to my knowledge, you haven't been plotting my death." He smirked a bit. "I think you've proven that you would make a decent business partner."

Kaiba smiled at the look of awe on Joey's face. "Are you saying...?"

Kaiba crossed his arms. "But don't let it go to your head, Wheeler. If I think you're dragging this company down, you're out. Got it?"

Joey grinned. "Yeah, sure thing, partner!"

The spirits, watching from above, were pleased.

"So, you think he's really learned his lesson?" Mana asked.

"I'm sure of it," Bobasa said with a nod. "After all, who can receive a visit from Yami and not change their ways?"

Yami just smirked. "Bobasa, I don't know whether that was a compliment or an insult. But, regardless, I can assure you that Seto Kaiba has learned his lesson."

Mana cocked her head. "You know, now that I think about it, wouldn't it make more sense for us to visit these kind of people when they're still young? I mean, that Ebenezer guy didn't get a visit from us until he was old."

Laughing, Yami said, "Mana, we come when we're requested. It's not our fault Marley waited so long."

"True."

Bobasa stretched. "Well, if you two will excuse me, Bobasa is hungry!"

As the fat spirit left, Mana and Yami just laughed.

"Ghost of Christmas Present," Yami chuckled. "And, in his mind, every day is Christmas."

"Not a bad philosophy," Mana flirted. "But I'm ready for Valentine's Day. What about you, Yami?"

Yami wrapped an arm around her, and the two of them left.

From that day on, Kaiba was true to his word. He was a good neighbor, a good man, and a good friend. He never heard from those spirits again—and he was not complaining about that.
