Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Christmas Is A Complete Waste Of Time: A Yu-Gi-Oh Christmas Carol ❯ Christmas Present: Parties and Comas. ( Chapter 4 )

Chapter 4: Christmas Present: Parties and Comas.

"Pegasus, what nerve do you have to waltz over to my company! After all you've done to me and my family!" Kaiba roared at the silver-haired man

He sighed. "All work and no play, makes Kaiba-Boy a dull boy!" He says.  "I hope you're having a jolly good Christmas! Because I know that I am!"

"And I should care…because?"

"I'm not the only one who's enjoying Christmas!  Just about everyone is enjoying Christmas, Kaiba-Boy!"

Kaiba scoffed, "Christmas is nothing but a complete waste.  What's the point of it all anyway!  It's just a bunch of snot-nosed brats believing that an obese man comes down a chimney and gives them presents even though we all know that their parents are the ones who buys such junk.  Anyone who remotely believes in that crap isn't someone who I want to be around with."

"Including your own baby brother?" Pegasus asked, which caused Kaiba to glare at the creator of Duel Monsters.

"What does Mokuba have to do with this?"

"Mokuba-Boy believes in Christmas, right?  And you just said-"

"I know what I said you idiot! Where are you going with this, anyway?"

Pegasus sighs, "Kaiba-Boy, I'm also the spirit of Christmas Present!" This just caused Kaiba to groan.

"Let me guess, Ishizu sent you here to annoy me some more, just so I'll believe in her hocus pocus fairytale bullsh-"

"Language, Kaiba-Boy!  We may have children that are around the area you know. But I somehow get the feeling that you won't care."

"Just what are you doing here anyway, Pegasus?" Kaiba asked, his patience only a hairline away from being completely gone.

"Like I said, I'm the spirit of Christmas Present, and there is much to be seen, Kaiba-Boy!"

"And what if I don't decide to play your game, Pegasus?" Kaiba smirked, feeling that there was nothing Pegasus could do about it.

"Well…" Pegasus pondered.  "There is the Blue Eyes White Dragon that you not only technically stole from Arthur Hawkins, but ripped it as well."

"Fool, that was Yugi's Grandpa's."

"Which was given to him by Mr. Hawkins." Pegasus finished.  "Therefore, you ripped another person's property.  And what would happen to your company if word got out that a thief was the CEO…wouldn't that be a shame, don't you agree Kaiba-Boy?"

Kaiba sighed, "Fine, let's get this over with!  Do that hocus pocus crap that you do with your eye or whatever!"

"Oh no Kaiba-Boy, I think you have me confused with someone else…" Pegasus informed him.  "Our mode of transportation is my very own limo!  Please, step in!"

"I'm going to regret this…" Kaiba stepped inside, followed by Pegasus as the limo, after the door was closed, drove off.  "So where are we going anyway, Pegasus?"

"We're going to see how your friends are doing.  To see if they're having a Christmas as you are."

"What friends?  I don't have any friends, and as far as I'm concerned I don't need any!"

"Kaiba-Boy, Kaiba-Boy, Kaiba-Boy…" Pegasus sighed as the limo came to a stop at a small house.  "We're at our first stop!" He said as he and Kaiba got out from the limo.

"Why are we here, Pegasus?" Kaiba asked, arms crossed.

"Just look through the window and you'll see."  Pegasus said as Kaiba took a peek.  Inside were a group of kids who couldn't be much older than 12 years of age: A boy with short purple hair, a young girl with shoulder-length green hair which was held up in a ponytail with a red ribbon, and a ball headed boy who was much bigger than the other two, but his face maintained the appearance of a 12 year old.  Right now, the bigger kid was standing up right now as the other two were calling out to him, as if it was some type of guessing game.

"I don't know these brats!" Kaiba exclaimed.

"Patience Kaiba-Boy. Not all of them have showed up yet!" Pegasus says as he takes a sip out of a glass of wine that he conveniently had in the limo.  Suddenly the doorbell was heard inside of the house.

"Sakura, could you get that?" A more mature female voice called out from the kitchen.

"Okay mom!" The green hair girl got up from the couch as she then opened the door and, after seeing who was there, smiled.  "Hey Mokie!" She turned to the others. Akio, George, Mokie's here!"

"Mokuba's here!?" Kaiba's eyes went wide, shocked to find his brother here but then remembered the phone call from earlier today.  Mokuba did invite him to come with him here to spend Christmas.

"Hey guys, did I miss anything?" The Ebony-haired boy asked as he placed his coat on the coat rack with the other assorted coats.  Leaving him only carrying his night bag.

"We're playing charades!  It's George's turn now!" The Red-haired boy said as the bigger boy, known as George, was now doing an imitation of a fish.

"Okay…second word…no…second part of a word…" Sakura tried to figure out the word, "swimming…no…fish…self…selfish!" George nodded at the girl's answer as he moved on to the next word.

Mokuba decided to take a shot at it.  "Third word …" He began to ponder as he saw George shaking uncontrollably, covering himself with his arms across his chest.  Freezing…no…shivering…cold!" George nodded.

"My turn!" Sakura smiled as George proceeded to grab his pants and pull on them enough so that they'd appear to be tight around his chubby legs.  "Tight…" George nodded, but a bit in shock that Sakura got it real close on her first try.  But then again, he did make it somewhat obvious.  "Uptight!  Wait a minute:  Mean, Cruel, Selfish, Cold, Uptight…I got it! Seto Kaiba!"

"Right!" The bigger boy cheered as all but Mokuba laughed.  What neither of them saw was a seething CEO who was ready to strangle the little girl's neck.

"THOSE FUCKING BRATS!  I CAN'T BELIEVE MOKUBA HANGS AROUND THOSE SNOT-NOSED PUNKS!" Kaiba screamed as Pegasus sighed.

"You know that they can't hear you, Kaiba-Boy!" He reminded.

"Can you people at least let me keep my dignity?  I'M BEING MOCKED BY LITTLE KIDS NOW!?"

"Oh come on you guys, Seto's not as bad as you think!" Mokuba said in defense of his brother!

"Mokuba come on!" Akio rolled his eyes.  "Think about it!  He did threaten an old man to give up his Blue Eyes White Dragon card, and he then ripped it up!  And that's just the beginning."

"Yeah Mokuba!  When was the last time we've ever seen him smile, aside from when someone else is suffering or his ego's being inflated?" George added.  "He's always in a fowl mood!  Maybe it's because of his pants being so tight that he has his nuts in a chokehold!"

Kaiba pounded his fists onto the window "I'LL SHOW YOU A CHOKEHOLD!"

"Now you're going too far George!" Mokuba said with a glare.

"You have to admit Mokuba, you're brother isn't exactly humanitarian of the year material." Sakura says.  "Speaking of whom, isn't Seto coming over?"

Mokuba sighed, "No…he's not.  He has to work…again…"

"He's always working!" Akio complained.  "Doesn't the guy ever take a break?  It's like he cares more about his company than you!"

"Don't be ridiculous!"

"I know that he has to be this "big CEO," but even Bill Gates takes a holiday on Christmas!"

Mokuba sighed.  Akio had a point.  They all had a point, so much of a point that even Kaiba himself began to feel a bit guilty.  Perhaps he should've spent more time with his brother instead of finishing up his latest technology.

"Does this always happen every year?" Kaiba asked the creator of Duel Monsters.

"Which part: the charades part or the 'Seto Kaiba is a bad guy' part."  Pegasus saw the glare Kaiba was giving him.  "No need to be angry Kaiba-Boy, I was just ask-" Pegasus sighed as he walked back towards the limo, "Let's go Kaiba-Boy, we have much more to see…"

"Whatever…" Kaiba sighed as he followed.  After the two were securely in, the limo drove off.  "So what's our next destination?"

"You'll see Kaiba-Boy.  You'll see…" Is all that Pegasus said as the Limo continued towards its destination…

…

The Limo pulled up at what appeared to be a hospital.  "Now why are we here?" Kaiba asked.

"Who knows…oh wait, I do!  Let's just say that we're…checking up on a friend."

"I told you that I don't have any-!" Kaiba stopped himself.  "Let me guess, the Geeks?"

"If you're referring to Yugi-Boy, Joey-Boy, Tristan-Boy, Tea, and Serenity, then yes."

"Do we have to see them?"

"If you care about your future, then yes…" With a flash of his Millennium Eye, he and Kaiba were transported into a hospital room.  A particular hospital room…

Kaiba glared at the silver-haired man.  "You said you didn't have any of that hocus-pocus-"

"I don't have any of that 'hocus-pocus' crap.  But I do have some magic in the Millennium Eye if that's what you're wondering."

"You mean we've wasted out time in the limo when we could've transported instead?" Kaiba hissed.

"I just wanted to play games with you Kaiba-Boy!  You could learn to loosen up a bit." Pegasus suggested.

"Save it for someone who cares…" Kaiba said as he then saw three familiar faces.  One of them in the bed with bandages wrapped around her head, and the other two sitting by her bedside.

"Wheeler and Taylor look even more pathetic than usual." He smirked as he saw the emptiness expressions on Joey and Tristan's faces.  "Where's the rest of the Geeks?"

Tea walked into the room as she went to the two depressed boys.  "So how is-"

"It's the same thing!" Tristan sighed. "She hasn't move a bit.  And you can forget about her making a sound.  Joey's taking this worse than I am…he hasn't even moved.  He just looks at her.  It's like someone broke him by breaking her.

"Oh…"

"Where's Yugi and Rebecca?"

"They're doing some last-minute Christmas Shopping.  I told them to get it done in October, but did they listen to me? Now they're praying that they can find something worthwhile." Tea giggled at the thought of Yugi and Rebecca at rush hour. She then looked at Tristan. "You get something to eat.  I'll watch over…those two…"

Tristan nodded.  "Thanks…You want something?"

"I'm fine.  It's okay." Tea said as her Brunette friend walked away.  Her attention then turned towards Joey.  "Hey…are you okay?" She asked the blonde.  But no answer...  "Joey, are you even listening to me?"  Still no answer...  "Joey, please tell me what going on!" She asked, almost in a begging-like tone.  His silence was scaring her.  Usually, he was loud, and sometimes obnoxious. In other words, he always had something to say.  Now, you could hear a pin drop when he's around.  "Just give me a sign or something that you're okay!  It's not that I don't care about you or Serenity…"

"She's hurt…and it's my fault." The Blonde finally spoke.

"For once in you're life, you prove that you have a brain." Kaiba sneered.  "If you didn't try to get into a fight with me, that brat of a sister would still be standing."

"You instigated the fight." Pegasus reminded.  "You threw him onto the ladder…"

"Silence!" Kaiba snapped.

"Joey…" Tea tried to console him but Joey would have none of it.

"These stupid fights with Kaiba…I don't know why I always let that bastard get the best of me…" He sighed,  "And now, it's cost me...big time."

"But… you shouldn't beat yourself over it.  Serenity will be okay! I just know it!"

Kaiba looked at Pegasus, "Not that I care, but what's wrong with her?" He asked, pointing at the unconscious girl.

"It appears that Serenity has lost too much blood and is now in a coma." Pegasus informed.  "So far, the doctors haven't been successful in stopping the bleeding…"

"She'll live…right?  Right!?"

Pegasus sighed, "Kaiba-Boy, it's hard to say if Serenity will survive or not.   But at the rate things are now…I see that, which you call, "The Geeks" will be short of one member, and it won't be such a Happy New Year if you know what I mean.

Kaiba hmmed.  Maybe he should've thrown Joey somewhere else other than the ladder.  But all that he thought about was hurting that hack as much as possible, especially for that shot to the blow.  Damn, it was his fault!

"I hope so…" Joey's eyes narrowed, "For Kaiba's sake, Serenity better live!" He hissed.

"Joey…calm dow-"

"No!" Joey cut off his friend.  "Kaiba always had some grudge against us, especially me!  Just because he's rich and runs his own company he thinks he can just walk over anyone he wants!  That's why I hate Kaiba so much!  He doesn't even care who he uses and steps on just as long as things are goin' great for him!  And everyone knows it, except Mokuba!"

"Joey, this is not-"

"I don't give a fuck!" He snapped back.  "It's bad enough he has to take out his misfortunes on me, but now he's hurting my sister? I swear to god an' I will take this to my grave, if Serenity doesn't get through this, Kaiba will pay!  Kaiba will pay, an' I'll see to that, even if it takes the rest of my life to take down that Trench Coat-Wearin,' Tight Pantsed, Mellon-Headed piece of shit!"

"Joey!" Tea cried, this time with a bit of anger.  She always disliked it when Joey swore.

"Somebody's gotta take that sonnuvabitch down!  An' I'll see to it that he does…hard!"

"I like to see you try, Wheeler!" Kaiba challenged.  "That'll be the day when a simple-minded Neanderthal like you could take me down!

Pegasus sighed, "Joey-Boy can't hear you, remember Kaiba-Boy?  And as for your little challenge for him…" He snickered.  "Be careful what you wish for…"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"That's for another time Kaiba Boy…" He informed as his Millennium eye flashed once more…

Kaiba's eyes opened as he found himself inside of the limo.

"We're home, Mr. Kaiba!" The Driver said as Kaiba looked around.  He was in his limo, but how did he got there?  Wasn't he standing in Serenity's hospital room with Pegasus, Joey, and Tea a minute ago?

"It's all just a trick…" Kaiba assured himself as he stepped out of the limo.  He was back at his mansion as he then opened the door and went inside.  As he turned on the lights he looked around.  Since Mokuba had planned on spending the night at Sakura's, Kaiba would be the only one here tonight.

Okay folks, that's it for this chapter.  There's only two more chapters left in this story.  Then it's back to business as usual.  Namely: Get back to working on my other stories.  I've already started on Vendetta Chapter 5, and re-working Spira's Tournament Chapter 2 and A Different Beat Chapter 17.  And I'm out of school until the 17th of Janurary so I should have plenty of time.  Read and Review.

Preview for Next Chapter:

"I've been waiting for you Seto Kaiba!"

"What are you doing here?  How did you get in here?  Who are you?" Kaiba shouted to the visitor.
