~Chapter 4: Cuddled Up~

Everyone was still talking about Christmas wishes when they heard the front door open. They turned just in time to feel the cold wind creep inside and shivers went up their backs.

"CLOSE THE DAMN DOOR!!" all of them yelled as one angrily.

Someone ran inside and slammed the door just. Everyone stared wide eyed at the snow-covered figure.

"A snow man?" Marlene raised one eyebrow.

"Actually, I'm a snow girl!" The 'snow girl' shook all the snow off her, revealing her long blonde hair with blue bangs in a ponytail and sparkling blue eyes. She looked about 15 years old. She wore a white bellyshirt and leather pants with a leather jacket.

"Koban Wa, Ryou-chan!" she said, launching herself into Ryou's arms happily. "Did you miss me?"

"Another friend of yours, Ryou-kun?" said Marlene. "Then what are you waiting for? Introduce us already."

"Gomen, minna." said Ryou, blushing like mad at the girl's closeness to him. "This is my girlfriend, Ash. Yugi and Yami must already know her since she's Yugi's cousin."

Yugi nodded. Ash turned to him and smiled. "Yugi-chan, you're looking handsome today."

Yugi blushed. "Arigato."

"So this adds another girl to the party." Marlene said with a warm smile. "This is getting better than I thought. More pairs, more dancing. So welcome to my party, Ash. Make yourself at home, but don't brake anything."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Ash turned to grab a snack from the table, but her hand accidently pushed a plate off the table. *CRASH*

"Opps."

Marlene sighed in defeat.

"Hey, Marlene!" called a voice upstairs. "Watch this!"

Marlene looked up and gasped. "Jou! What are you doing?!"

Jou was sitting on a snowboard on top of the stairs. "I'm about to show you a pretend ski trick I learned in grade school."

"Really?" Marlene said sarcasticly, crossing her arms. "What's it called? 'Ski Bloopers' or 'Things You Should Never Do At Home'?"

"Actually, it's 'How To Brake Your Bones In 3 Seconds'." Seto said smirking.

"Haha, very funny, guys." Jou said sarcasticly.

Suddenly, a loud crash was heard from the roof. The ceiling cracked and the house shook violently. The earthquake made Jou's snowboard slip down the stairs.

"YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" He crashed at the bottom of the stairs.

"What's happening?!" Ryou yelled.

The ceiling collapsed. Everyone ran out of the way yelling as debris fell. All couples in the room held on to each other, though Hiei held both Marlene and his sister, as something fell along with the rubble. Just about every person present in the room stared with wide eyes as a boy emerged and wipped the dust off his clothes, coughing a bit.

"What a landing!" He stretched his back and arms. A few cracks were heard. "That's the last time I'll use the eject buttom." The guy turned around. He had black, slightly puffy hair, dark brown eyes, dark tan skin, and he was almost as tall as Jou.

He grinned. "Hey, don't stop the party because of me. Carry on, I'm just here to have fun with you guys."

Marlene was shocked. "DJ? Is that really you?"

"Hi, Marlene!" said DJ. "Miss me?"

Hiei looked jealous, glaring at the happy-looking young man. "Marlene, who is this clown?"

Marlene smiled and stepped closer to DJ. She introduced him to everyone. "Guys, this is Daniel Rodriguez. He's an old friend of mine back when I lived in North America. We haven't seen each other in a long time, but we've been chatting on the internet to stay in contact. He's really cool and funny."

"Like me?" Jou said weakly, and he fainted from the hard blow he recieved on the fall.

Marlene and DJ laughed. "Maybe crazier." said Marlene. After all introductions were done, DJ was curious with Duel Monsters and had Yami and Yugi explain it to him.

Later, the door opened again. All eyes turned to the doorway as Kat walked in wearing a coat and cradling a shivering Bakura in her arms. The guy actually had his arms around her neck, holding on to her tightly and walking with difficulty, even with her help.

"What happened?" Ryou cried worried. "Is he okay?"

Kat laughed nervously. "He had to stop running eventually. Poor dude's freezing was death." Her expression turned to worried. "He might get worse. I'll put him to bed." She guided Bakura over the unconscious Jou and up the stairs to the guest room.

"Hey, guys!" Marlene called. "Let's go outside! It's snowing!"

"No thanks." said Seto. "Some of us will pass."

Marlene pulled Hiei outside with her. DJ, Kurama, Yukina, Yuseke, Kuwabara, Botan, and Keiko ran outside as well. The Yugioh cast looked out the door and saw a snowball fight. Marlene, Hiei, and DJ had created a solid wall of snow to protect themselves from any snowballs. Yuseke, Kurama, and Kuwabara teamed up, as did Botan, Yukina, and Keiko. Each team created a fortress of their own and threw snowballs.

"That looks like fun!" said Yugi.

"I'm game!" Jou shouted and ran to join the fight. Soon, Yami, Yugi, Serenity, Anzu, Jou, Ryou, Honda, Ash, Malik, and Mokuba joined the snowball fight too.

The game went on for a while. With all the snow and ice, some sank on the deep snow or slipped. Jou seemed to be the one with the best aim. He kept hitting anyone who showed their face over their fortresses. That is, until Kurama got him square in the face and he got bombared with snowballs by the others with a vengeance. When the cold finally got to them, the group went inside to get warm.

After having so much fun, the party came to time where everything went peaceful. Hiei and Marlene sat on the floor, cuddled up near the fireplace. Near them were Yugi and Anzu, Yami and Serenity, Kurama and Yukina, Yuseke and Keiko, Koenma and Botan, Ryou and Ash, and all the others. Seto had been eyeing Shizuru for a while, and she noticed. Even Kat and Bakura were there. Marlene suggested they came down from the guest room, saying it would be unfair for them if they didn't join the rest. Kat sat near the fire. Bakura slept peacefully with his head on Kat's lap. She covered him with a blanket and glanced at Marlene.

Kat smiled. "He said he was feeling a bit better." she said. "He's not resisting me as much anymore. And he's looking better too."

Marlene nodded and sighed contently. She leaned back, resting her head on Hiei's chest. "It's been a fun night, huh? People kept poping in from nowhere." She offered Kat a mug. "Hot chocolate?"

Kat took the mug. "Thanks."

Marlene looked at DJ. "How about you DJ?" She offered him a mug.

DJ smiled cheerfully and took it. "Don't mind if I do."

Marlene took a good look at the others and chuckled. Everyone, except Kat, DJ, and herself, had fallen asleep.

"Should we wake them so we can go home?" DJ asked.

Marlene shook her head. "Nah, let them sleep." She yawned. "I'm a bit tired myself." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Kat and DJ followed soon after.

The next morning...

Heads shot up as many of the guests woke up. Marlene yawned and stretched.

"Morning already?" she said sleepily.

"Marlene, look!" DJ called. Everybody looked at Marlene Christmas tree. Presents filled the bottom under it.

"Meri Kurisumasu!" Yugi yelled.

Kat looked down at Bakura. Bakura stired and moaned a little.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" she said.

Bakura opened one eye to gape at her. "You never leave me alone, do you?"

Kat grinned. "Nope, never. Wanna open presents?"

Everybody gathered around the christmas tree and began opening their presents. Each person got what they wanted. So couples kissed and friends shook hands. Even DJ ended the way he wanted.

OWARI

Saiyan Moon Goddess: "The ending probably sucked. Please don't blame me. Writer's block, you gotta hate them. I lost inspiration and ideas. BUT I PROMISE TO MAKE A BETTER CHRISTMAS STORY SOMEDAY! I PROMISE!"
