One of the few things Seto enjoyed about this time of year was waking up early on those cold mornings, especially seeing the luxury of his sheets and blankets. Though his favourite luxury wasn't there and he felt really uncomfortable without it now. This luxury was special to only Seto Kaiba, the luxury of waking up to the sleeping angel that is Anzu. Seto was so used to the first thing he saw being her cute face and her little body curled up next to him, the smell of her shampoo being the first thing to enter his senses and the feel of her skin on his.

Today she wasn't there, this unsettled him to the point where he had to go and look for her. It wasn't particularly late in the day; it was very unusual for her to be up. He got up and looked at the alarm clock '6:45 AM'. This was far too early for Anzu. As soon as he stepped out the room it hit him. There was twinkly lights and tinsel wrapped around the banisters, as he went down the stairs he found reefs on the doors. He stepped into the main living room and froze in shock. There was tinsel and lights pinned up everywhere, wall and ceiling decorations all over the place too. In the corner by the arm chair and table there was a big Christmas tree with lights and tinsel wrapped around it, the box in front of it had ball-balls and other decorations in it. It looked as if she was going to wait for Mokuba to finish it. And there she was, curled up in the arm chair, covered in glitter. She had fallen asleep after doing all that work, she had something clenched in her hand.

Seto walked over to her and brushed her bangs out of her face; those beautiful blue eyes fluttered open and starred up at him.
"Seto-kun? Ahh you ruined the surprise, I wasn't finished yet." She opened up her hand to revile a little bell of Mistletoe. Seto smirked at her and kissed her slowly. "Do you like it? I got up really early to do all this."
"Anzu-chan, it's wonderful." He took the mistletoe off her and pinned it up in the corner. "You look tired and Moki-kun won't be up for hours. Wanna' go back to bed?"

The couple went back to bed and fell asleep together, not for long as Mokuba found the decoration and jumped them. It made Seto so happy to see him like this; it had been years since they'd had a proper family style Christmas. They went down together and Anzu and Mokuba started decorating the tree, it wasn't until Seto noticed that they were both a bit short to be decorating the 6ft tree. He helped them finish it and picked up Mokuba so that he could put a fairy on the top. Even though they were all in Pyjama's (Well Seto had put on jeans and half done up a shirt, he normally slept in just boxers) Anzu wanted a photo of them with the tree. She ran off and got a maid and her camera and stood in between the brothers to get the photo. It was a wonderful photo, all of them smiling and beaming, she knew she was going to cherish this for a long time.

She had the day off so she skipped up stairs and got dressed to go out. It was still snowy outside so warm clothes were required. Tight skinny jeans, warm fuzzy socks, knee high boots and of course one of Seto's large light blue jumpers. She bounced down the stairs and into the living room where the brothers were still sat going through the boxes of Christmas things that Anzu had found. She paused in the door frame and looked in on the scene. She loved just watching Seto and Mokuba together, it was warming and it reminded her off all the good parts of family.
"Okay boys, I'm going out, be good till I come back okay?" she walked over and ruffled Mokuba's hair.
"It's more of a question of whether you can keep yourself out of trouble." Seto said standing up; he gave Anzu a light squeeze and a soft kiss on the lips. He tugged on the fabric of the jumper and grinned. "Nice isn't it."

She giggled and bounced out the room. She picked her bag and put on her coat and mittens, she stepped outside to see the diver stood there waiting for her. She still wasn't used to this treatment; she knew she liked it though. "Hey, ummm."
"Where do you want to go today Ms Mazaki?" the driver smiled at her.
"Hospital please." She smiled back at him. All the staff was very friendly towards her and they understood that she was not used to it and didn't react badly to her being shy. She climbed into the car and off they went. her favourite thing about the Kaiba fleet of vehicles is that you have to be really close to the windows to see whose inside. She didn't think she'd be able to handle being starred at by people from school in these cars.

When they arrived at the hospital she was allowed to her mother's room but didn't understand why they said to make it quick. She walked in to find her mum dressed to leave and putting all of her things in a bag.
"Ah, Anzu-chan!" she hugged her little girl tight. "I was just about to ring you."
"What's going on? Where are you going?" Anzu looked very confused.
"Well they said I could be transferred to a hospital near your uncles were they'd let me stay home as long as I came several times a week for treatments. I would just be doing that here but I don't have any 'Adult family' to stay with."
"Why can't you stay with me and Seto-kun?
"He may be the richest man in the city and the head of that house hold but they still don't class him as a proper adult until he's 21."
"So, I can't see you on Christmas." Anzu looked up at her mother with those sad blue eyes.
"I'm sorry my little bunny, please don't let this ruin your holiday, I want you to have fun and to make this special for little Mokuba. I doubt he would have had a proper family Christmas in a long time."

Anzu smiled at her mother and gave her a big hug, she had brought the present with her so her mother could put it underneath the little tree they keep in the communal room. She gave it to her on the promise she wouldn't open it till Christmas day. Anzu left the hospital and decided she was going to walk to town instead of asking the driver.

She wondered around watching all the kids run past and the mothers following behind. Spending all this time with Mokuba was almost giving her a taster for being a mother later in life. She was going to spend all Christmas with him playing 'mother'.

The days past more people were seen and presents were delivered. The night before the party Anzu was buzzing. She hadn't gotten to hear Seto play since that day at school. When she got into bed that night it looked like she had a hanger in her mouth. Seto did enjoy seeing her like this but it made him a little nervous. He's realised that she thinks he's some kind of amazing being, in his mind, he may be brilliant but he's still left week in the knees by the sweet, hopeful stares she gives him.

When they woke the next day Seto rushed off to work leaving her a note.
'I've got some things that need doing today. I hope you'll be okay.
I think I'll meet you at the party
- Love Seto
P.S. don't forget to stay beautiful (not that that's difficult for you) '

Now she looked forward to this even more.
