"Come on Mokuba! Bed time!" Anzu called down the stairs.
He ran up the stairs and pulled Anzu into his room. "Alright, this isn't just a present to you, that's why you're getting it tonight. You MUST wear it all day tomorrow, okay?"
Anzu nervously agreed as Mokuba pulled out the box. All of the other presents had been out under the tree already.

Carefully she opened it up to revile a little miss Santa outfit, complete with long black cable knit socks and red boots.
"Moki, as cute as this is, are you sure it's appropriate?"
"Anzu-chan! It's not a dirty mrs Santa outfit!" his face went bright read and he held up the dress. "Put it on, check it fits. I'll come back in five minutes okay." He rushed out the room, still bright red.

Anzu couldn't help but laugh at his embarrassment, she put on the outfit. She stared at herself for a while in the mirror; she had to admit; even though it was a bit embarrassing it was adorable. The socks came above the knee and they had little fuzzy pompoms attached ether side and the knee high boots were a dark red. The dress fitted really nicely and it had a little cape like bit for over her shoulders. It even had a little hat.

"I knew it'd look good. Alright, I'm going to go bed, you change out and then go hide it in your bath room, try to get up before Seto okay."
"Don't worry; I'll be up at the crack of dawn. I have tomorrow all planned out."

6:00 am
The house was silent. Anzu crept out of bed trying not to wake up Seto; she went into the bath room and dressed in her outfit. She went down stairs and sat in the kitchen. When she was little they always had bacon sandwiches and orange juice on Christmas morning. She started doing things for Christmas dinner, she knew the head maid said that she wanted to cook it but she thought it'd be easier on her if she did the prep for her.

It got to about 7 before she heard people moving up stairs. She crept up stairs and found Mokuba about to go into hers and Seto's room.
"Wait, let me. Go wait in the kitchen please." Anzu sent him off down stairs.

She opened the door and quietly walked in. she crawled on top of the bed and leant over him. He looked as if he was asleep so she gently kissed him on the lips expecting him to wake up. Instead he answered her with.
"Practically on top of me in the outfit my own brother bought you, bad Anzu-tan." He opened on eye and gave her a smirk.
"How did you- wait. Stupid question, your Seto Kaiba, you know everything." She imitated his smirk.

She wasn't sure how long he'd been awake but obviously it'd been long enough.
"Now, stop teasing me and let's go sit with Moki-kun before he goes crazy." He kissed all down her neck before sitting her up. "I must say though, I definitely love the socks."
"Aren't you forgetting something Seto-kun?" She draped her arms around his neck.
"Of course not, Merry Christmas beautiful. Love you so much."
"Merry Christmas, love you too"

The two of them went to find Mokuba, he had surprisingly done as asked and sat in the kitchen. Anzu made the breakfast for everyone and got them all drink. Mokuba spent the whole meal questioning Anzu on her Christmases. They finished eating quickly and Mokuba rushed into the living room. By this point there were hundreds of presents, all big people from companies always sent them gifts. They had presents flown over from around the world. Anzu sat and watched as Mokuba went through the whole pile and separated them into 'Mokuba', 'Seto', 'Anzu' and 'Kaiba Corp'.

The biggest shock for Anzu was the size of Mokuba's pile. It was even bigger than the 'Kaiba Corp' pile and around 75% of them were from Seto. This was the time were he showed how much he cared about his brother, he must have been buying things all year thinking 'That'll be good for Christmas.' Anzu could only imagine how Mokuba's birthdays must be.

Anzu found herself staring at him opening his presents before she turned to her pile. Hers wasn't the biggest and she didn't really want it to be. She got a few things sent to her by family members, a present from each of the guys and one from Mokuba. She had noticed none were labelled 'from Seto'. She liked all of her presents. She got the normal girly things like scented candles and bath salts. Mokuba got her a cute charm bracelet with chibi versions of duel monsters. Family members all got her clothes and things thinking she'd still be in need of re-filling the wardrobe.

Seto had been bought so many presents he only seemed interested in each one for a moment. When he got to the big box from Mokuba you could see his face light up. He carefully unwrapped it and went through all the things he'd been brought. He gave him the biggest hug ever and Anzu very quickly grabbed the camera from the draw and got a photo. This one she was certain was going on the wall. The last thing he had to open was the gift from Anzu. She felt her heart pound as he stared at it. She was terrified he wouldn't like it. He slowly opened it and lifted the choker up. He read the inscription and produced the biggest grin she'd ever seen.

"Come here," he chuckled.
Nervously, she went over and sat next to him. He wrapped both arms around her and kissed her softly.
"I think that means you like It." she giggled.

Together they cleared up and Mokuba ran upstairs dragging the mountain of gifts behind him.
"So, I bet your wondering what I got you." Seto said wrapping his arms round her waist.
"Just a little curious"
He led her into his study and got her to sit in his chair. He went behind her and did some rummaging. She was presented with a small-ish box with a bow, she unwrapped it, the box its self was metal and had 'to the one I love' engraved on the top. She opened it to revile a very dainty chain and in the middle of the chain were two rings loped. On the inside of each lope a word was engraved 'Forever' and 'Always'. On the outside was to strips of silver and lots of tiny little diamonds in between them.

"Seto-kun, it's so beautiful." She held her hair up as he put it on her.
"I have got you something else but it's taking a little longer than expected, I want the other gift to be perfect."
The two of them sheared a long tender kiss before being brought back to reality by Mokuba's very loud 'Merry Christmas!' he screamed at the maids. Seto went off to get dressed and Anzu went to entertain Mokuba. Between them they had to find places to put all of the things people had sent them, numerous bottles of wine, paintings and other expensive items. Once they had finished they started playing with the tones of games Mokuba had been brought, she surprised that Mokuba actually managed to beat Seto at some of these, it seemed bizarre.

Later in the day, the maid called them to dinner. She had cooked them a banquet. Naturally, Anzu invited the three maids to eat with them. And, they were more surprised to see Seto wearing one of those silly paper hats from the crackers. They went through the tradition of telling each other the terrible jokes before eating. It felt as if they ate for hours. There were so many different dishes it'd take a long time to name them all. The puddings were brought out after. So much cream and sugar and sweet treats.

When they had eaten all they liked the maids were told to just put it all in the dishwasher and then they were dismissed. The three of them went into the media room and watched what seemed like an endless stream of Christmas movies. Mokuba fell asleep on the sofa while Seto and Anzu sat curled up together. Seto had decided that this was definitely his favourite Christmas.

Those odd six days in between Christmas and new years were always weird. Seto found himself visiting the old jewellers twice a day to see if they had finished Anzu's present. They gave him an estimate that he should be able to pick it up the day before New Year's Eve. This gave him time to make plans; he knew Mokuba would want to go to the big party in the middle of the city that night so he could defiantly do it there. He was going to plan and plan to make this perfect. She would be so surprised and all her friends would be there after would too. Next year is going to be the biggest year of his life.
