Anno Domine
Just as they were within sight of the house, a loud chorus of song suddenly burst out from off to the right close by.
ON THIS NIGHT OF HOPE AND SALVATION
ONE CHILD LIES EMBRACED IN A DREAM
WHERE EACH MAN REGARDLESS OF STATION
ON THIS NIGHT CAN NOW BE REDEEMED
WHERE EVERY MAN REGARDLESS OF HIS NATION
ANCESTRAL RELATIONS
ON THIS NIGHT THE PAST CAN FLY AWAY
AND THAT DREAM WE'VE DREAMED MOST
THAT EVERY CHILD IS HELD CLOSE
ON THIS NIGHT THAT DREAM WON'T BE BETRAYED
ALL AS ONE
RAISE YOUR VOICES!
RAISE YOUR VOICES!
ALL AS ONE
ON THIS CHRISTMAS DAY!
ALL REJOICE
RAISE YOUR VOICES!
RAISE YOUR VOICES!
ALL REJOICE
ANNO DOMINE!
ON THIS NIGHT WHEN NO CHILD'S FORGOTTEN
NO DREAM SLEEPS WHERE HE CANNOT SEE
NO MAN HERE IS MISBEGOTTEN
AND THIS NIGHT'S DREAMS ARE STILL YET TO BE
WHERE EVERY MAN REGARDLESS OF HIS NATION
ANCESTRAL RELATIONS
ON THIS NIGHT THE PAST CAN FLY AWAY
AND THAT DREAM WE'VE DREAMED MOST
THAT EVERY CHILD IS HELD CLOSE
ON THIS NIGHT THAT DREAM WON'T BE BETRAYED
ALL AS ONE
RAISE YOUR VOICES!
RAISE YOUR VOICES!
ALL AS ONE
ON THIS CHRISTMAS DAY!
ALL REJOICE
RAISE YOUR VOICES!
RAISE YOUR VOICES!
ALL REJOICE
ANNO DOMINE!
As the last note rang through the chill night air. Yugi narrowed his eyes and suddenly he was fighting back a smirk.
Leading the group was none other than his other high school friend, Tristan Taylor. Beside him stood the Dungeon Dice Monsters creator, Duke Devlin, a huge grin on his face as he seemed to take in the shocked state of the group before him. Behind them stood Valon, who was making no attempt to contain his amusement and was having to hold up the person beside him, Mai Valentine. Even the stoic-faced Seto Kaiba and always calm Rafael were smirking in amusement from the other side of Tristan. On Valon's other side stood Pegasus, who was currently half hidden from being doubled-over in laughter, and taking the space on Mai's free side was Vivian Wong, who stood grinning like the Cheshire cat.
"We so got you!" Mai crowed, finally catching her breath.
"Yeah, yeah, you got us. Can we please go inside? It's cold and this snow is horrible!" Bakura complained, ducking to the side to avoid Ryo's third attempt to slap him. Yugi just chuckled and shook his head before going over and unlocking the door so they could all go into the warm house.
