Chapter 6- On the Sixth Day of Christmas
December 19
"You want us to what?!" Atemu exclaimed.
"You heard me. Let's go spend the day in the mountains." Seto repeated.
"Um, Seto. It would take us a little time to get to the mountains." Tea said.
Joey grinned. "Not in Seto's private jet. We'll be there in an hour." Joey said.
"Why this all of a sudden?" Ryou asked.
"We all got out of school yesterday, and I know that we could all use a break from everything." Seto said.
"Where are we going to stay?" Yami asked.
"I have a rather large cabin there. We could all easily stay there." Seto said.
"Large? Seto, that cabin is almost as nig as this mansion." Mokuba corrected.
"Well, that would be big enough to fit all of us in." Sayora agreed.
"Are you sure that is such a good idea? When would we come back?" Leo asked.
"We'll be back early tomorrow morning. Don't worry. We'll be back in plenty of time." Seto said.
The group looked at each other.
"I suppose it couldn't hurt. We could use a little time away from the city." Yugi ventured.
"Yeah. Plus, there's plenty of things that we can do in the mountains." Heba added.
"I suppose is wouldn't hurt." Malik said.
"Great!" Joey exclaimed.
"Back clothes for overnight, and be back here in an hour." Seto said.
The group left the mansion to go to their respective homes.
"This really seems to be last-minute." Atemu said.
"Yeah, but it would be a nice change to being here all day." Yami pointed out.
"Well, you'll have to tell Seto that I'm sorry, but I can't go." Leo said.
"Why not?" Kyla asked.
"I can't get off work. You guys will have to go." Leo said.
"If you're not going, then I'm not, either." Yuesei said.
"Tell Seto that we're sorry. Sure thing." Yugi said.
"Let's go on." Heba said.
Kyla, Sayora, Atemu, Heba. Yami, and Yugi left the Moto house to head over to the Kaiba mansion.
Once at the mansion, the group headed to Seto's private airport and boarded the plane to head to the mountains.
"So, what all can we do?" Sayora asked.
"There's any number of things that you can do. There's places to shop, ski, ice skate, and a few other things." Seto said.
"Hmm. I've never had the chance to try skiing before." Yugi mused.
"You're going to try skiing?" Marik asked.
"Sure. I've always wanted to try it." Yugi said.
"I'd be willing to try it, too." Heba agreed.
"Hmm. I'd like to see what shopping areas there are." Tea said.
"So would I." Kyla agreed.
"Me, too." Sayora said.
The three girls looked at their respective girlfriends.
Tristan, Duke, and Mokuba gulped.
"Why do I get the feeling that we're going to be roped into going shopping?" Tristan asked.
"Because you are." Tea said.
"Why do we always get roped into these things?" Mokuba asked.
"Because that's what boyfriends do." Kyla said sweetly.
All three slunk in their seats.
The rest laughed.
Once the plane landed, the group was taken to the cabin in a few limos.
"Whoa! This is a miniature mansion!" Duke exclaimed.
"There's only eight bedrooms in this one, so we'll have to double up since there's sixteen of us." Seto said.
"Well, that won't be too bad." Kyla said.
"Oh, and there's only a king-sized bed in each room." Seto said as they walked in.
The group headed up the stairs.
Seto and Joey took the first bedroom on the right.
Mokuba and Sayora took the first bedroom to the left.
Bakura and Ryou took the second bedroom on the left.
Marik and Malik took the first bedroom to the right.
Tea and Tristan took the third bedroom on the left.
Atemu and Heba took the third bedroom on the right.
Kyla and Duke took the fourth bedroom on the left.
Yugi and Yami took the fourth bedroom on the right.
Yugi and Yami looked in the room they would be staying in.
"Seto wasn't kidding when he said that the bedrooms had king-sized beds in the room." Yami murmured.
"It's not like we haven't shared our beds at home. We're friends after all." Yugi said.
"I know." Yami agreed as they set their duffel bags on the dresser.
They found there to be a rather large bathroom to the side.
"Hmm. I wonder if Seto had this cabin specially built." Yami said.
"It wouldn't surprise me." Yugi said.
"Come on. We'd better go downstairs if we're going skiing." Yami said.
"You're going, too?" Yugi asked, surprised.
"Yes. How else can I make sure that you don't get hurt?" Yami asked.
Yugi rolled his eyes. "You don't have to be with me every second." Yugi said.
"Well, I think I do. Besides, I think that it would be fun trying to ski." Yami said.
Yugi sighed. "I'm never going to get rid of you, am I?" Yugi asked playfully.
"Not a chance." Yami replied as the two went downstairs.
Yugi, Yami, Atemu, Heba, Seto, and Joey were at the ski slopes, looking down the slope that they would be skiing down.
"Puppy, how did I let you talk me into this?" Seto asked.
"Because you wanted to spend time with me, and this is what I wanted to do with our day at the mountains." Joey said, smiling sweetly.
Seto growled. "I can't believe I'm going to try something that result in me having a broken neck." Seto said.
"I think that this is going to be fun. I've never tried this before, but I've always wanted to try it." Heba said.
"Well, I suppose that we should try." Yami said.
Yugi and Heba were the first ones willing to try it. They put their goggles over their eyes and pushed themselves down the slope and leaned forward to make themselves go faster.
Atemu and Yami glanced at each other before putting on their goggles and propelling themselves down the mountain as well.
"Come on, Seto. Let's go." Joey said, putting on his goggles and heading down the mountain.
"I'm going to kill him for this." Set muttered before putting on his goggles and pushing himself down the mountain.
Yugi and Yami were zigzagging down the mountain, having learned rather quickly to move down the mountain. Their movements were throwing snow everywhere.
Yami and Atemu were not doing as well. They were struggling to stay balanced and were slipping and sliding down the mountain, but managed to stay on their feet.
Joey was having the time of his life. He wasn't doing quite as well Yugi and Yami were, but he was doing better than Yami and Atemu were.
Seto was doing about as well as Atemu and Yami were. He was slipping and sliding. 'I'm going to kill my puppy for getting me into this.' Seto thought.
Yugi and Heba came to a rather sharp curve and used their poles to help them turn safely down the curve.
Atemu and Yami came to the same curve, but they both couldn't turn good enough and ended up crashing, falling down in the snow.
Joey tried to stop, but couldn't and wound up crashing into Yami and Atemu.
Seto saw them and tried to stop, but ended up falling and rolling in the snow down to where Atemu, Yami, and Joey were.
"Whose brilliant idea was this I the first place?" Seto asked.
"Yugi's, I think." Yami replied.
"He's dead." Seto said.
"It's not that bad. Come on. Let's get going again." Joey said as he stood up.
The other followed him, and they started down the slope once again.
Yugi and Heba reached the end of the slope and slid to the side in a perfect stop.
Yugi took his goggle off and turned to Heba with a smile on his face. "That was a lot of fun." Yugi said.
"I think so, too." Heba agreed, taking his goggles off.
Yugi looked and his face fell. "Uh-oh." Yugi said.
Heba turned and saw what Yugi meant.
A moment later, Yami, Atemu, Seto, and Joey came to the bottom, falling into a pile and completely covered in snow.
Yugi and Heba covered their mouths to try and stop from laughing, but their giggles still came out.
Atemu looked up and glared at them. "That was not funny." Atemu growled.
"I'm sorry, Atemu, but it was." Heba said as the two walked over.
"Yugi, you are dead for suggesting this." Seto said as he got up and then helped Joey up.
"You guys okay?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah. I think that the most is that we're covered in snow." Yami replied, shaking snow out of his hair.
"Let's go again." Heba said.
"NO!" Yami, Atemu, Seto, and Joey said.
"Geez. You didn't have to shout." Heba said.
"What would you rather do?" Yugi asked.
Seto thought a moment. "We could go back to the cabin. There's a lake that's thoroughly frozen. We could go ice skating." Seto said.
"That'll work." Heba said.
"Yeah. At least I know that I can do that." Seto said.
After getting back to the cabin, the six had gone out to the lake to ice skate.
Yugi moved forward quickly and jumped up, twirling when his feet hit the ice and started going backwards when he stopped twirling. Yugi continued forward before jumping up and turning in midair before landing back on the ice perfectly.
"I can't believe how good Yugi is at this." Yami said.
"I know. He'll be great at that competition he's going to be in." Atemu said.
"I know what you mean. I won't even try some of the stuff that Yugi's doing." Yami said.
"Well, Yug's done this for a long time. I guess that everything started to come back to him when he started to ice skate again." Joey said.
Heba was skating around, going faster than the rest was willing to do. He would do figure eights, and he'd spin around a little, but nothing like what Yugi was doing.
Yugi skated forward at a fast space before spinning on the tips of his skates and ending up pushing backwards before he jumped and turned in midair, landing on his feet and moving forward.
"I can't wait to see what all Yugi does at the competition." Seto said.
"One things' for sure. It'll be something great to watch." Joey said.
Heba saw his brother's fantastic moves and shouted, "Hey, Yugi! Stop showing off. We all know that you're the best one here!"
"Oh, shut up, Heba!" Yugi retorted, coming to a sliding stop.
"You are showing off a bit." Atemu said.
"Well, that wasn't my intention." Yugi said, rubbing the back of his head.
"What were you doing then?" Seto asked.
"Well, I was spending some of the day every day practicing for the competition that Heba roped me into, so I was doing some of the moves that I would be doing in the competition." Yugi explained.
"So that's where you've been disappearing to lately." Yami said.
Yugi nodded. "I haven't ice skated much since I stopped when I was ten. I thought that I should practice as much as I could." Yugi said.
"Yugi, you're still great. I don't think that you need to practice that much." Heba said.
Yugi glared. "I still need to practice." Yugi said.
"Come on. You're just as good as you were six years ago." Heba argued.
"Hey, Yug. Why did you stop ice skating?" Joey asked.
"Well, I got hurt, and I just never started back." Yugi said.
"Hurt? How?" Yami asked.
"Why don't you ask Heba?" Yugi said, looking over at his brother.
"I might have accidentally done something." Heba said.
"Like what?" Atemu asked.
"We went to the skating rink, just to have a fun time of skating. Yugi liked to go every now and then just to skate and not have to train for the next competition. Well, I accidentally collided into Yugi, and Yugi crashed into the wall. E wound up with a sprained wrist and a broken ankle." Heba said.
"After that, I just never got back out ice skating. It's not that I lost interest or was scared. I just never did." Yugi said. He looked over at Heba and said, "But now I have to skate in an ice skating competition thanks to his scheming."
"Well, you have wanted to start back ice skating, so I gave you a reason to start. If you had kept it up, you probably could have become a national champion." Heba said.
"I don't think I would have, but I don't have a choice but to do it now." Yugi said.
Heba just grinned.
That night, after dinner, the entire group sat in the living room of the cabin, just sitting and talking.
"I loved the places we went to shop. It was a great day." Sayora said happily.
"Not for us." Duke muttered.
"Come on. You three didn't mind it that much, did you?" Kyla asked.
"No, not really." Tristan admitted.
"You were right about getting away, Seto. We all really needed this." Atemu said.
Seto shrugged. "What better time to get away right before Christmas. It's a hectic time of year." Seto said.
"Oh, yeah. Someone from your staff sent something to us, Seto. Grandpa had them send it to us." Ryou said.
"Where is it?" Seto asked.
"In the kitchen." Ryou replied.
Seto got up from the couch and went into the kitchen. He found the box with a note on it. He picked up the and read it.
It read:
Seto, this came today. It's from Yugi's admirer most likely.
Please give it to him.
Grandpa
"That guy hasn't missed a day yet." Seto muttered. He picked up the box and walked back into the living room. "Yugi, this is actually for you. Apparently, it's from your admirer." Seto said, handing the box to Yugi.
"Man! He doesn't miss a single day, does he?" Marik asked.
"Apparently, not." Bakura muttered.
Yugi opened the box and was surprised to see clothes. He took out the clothes. There were four sets of blue jeans with a red, green, pale blue, black, and purple shirt. There was a set of leather pants and shirt as well. The last set was an ice skating outfit that was black with crimson stripes and amethyst gems around the collar.
"What's with that girly outfit?" Tristan asked.
"It's an outfit that figure skaters use for their competitions." Heba explained.
"What's with the leather outfit, though. I've never seen you wear leather, Yugi." Duke said.
"I haven't." Yugi said. He reached into the box and found the note.
It read:
I thought that you'd like these outfits.
I know you don't wear leather, but I think that leather would look good on you.
I hope you'll wear the skiing outfit during your competition.
Love,
Your Eternal Lover
At the bottom, it read:
On the sixth day of Christmas I gave my true love, six stunning outfits
five golden pendants
Four Duel Monsters plushies
Three amethyst bracelets
Two silver ankhs
And a cartouche with his name on it.
"Well, I guess you don't have to worry about buying a skiing outfit." Heba stated.
"At least he got you most of what you would wear." Sayora said.
"Yeah. Do you plan on wearing the leather, Yugi?" Malik asked.
"I don't know." Yugi replied.
"You should. You'd probably look good in it." Ryou said, snickering.
Yugi blushed lightly at the comment.
The rest laughed at his red face.
"I'm not coming out." Yugi said.
"Come on, Yugi. I'm sure that you look fine." Yami said.
"I can't believe that I let you talk me into this." Yugi said.
"Yugi, will you get out here already." Yami said.
Finally, Yugi walked out of the bathroom dressed in the leather he had gotten.
"See you look great in it." Yami said.
"I feel strange in this stiff." Yugi said.
"You just need to get used to it." Yami said.
"You're going to make me wear this stuff on day at home, aren't you?" Yugi asked.
"Yes, I am." Yami said.
Yugi rolled his eyes and walked back into the bathroom, changing into his pajamas.
"Let's just go to bed." Yugi said after he came out.
The two climbed into the bed to go to sleep.
That was teh sixth day. I couldn't resist the skating outfit.
The seventh day will be next.
I still could use a suggestion for the eleventh day of Christmas.
R&R.
