I own nothing YuGiOh realated just Aerona and this story.

Enjoy and please review.

Kaiba opened his eyes. He sat up slowly and laid a hand over his eyes. He felt exhausted. Than again he always felt that way no matter how much he slept. Kaiba sighed and rubbed his eyes. He felt some slight of 5 Oclock shadow under his chin and frowned some. Than heard a small snort. He turned and smiled. Mokuba and Aerona were lying on the other side of the bed both were asleep. The night before after the gut back from the Cafe it had stormed and Aerona and Mokuba got scared and wanted to stay with him. Kaiba smiled at them. Aerona was sleeping soundly so was Mokuba but gave the occasionaly snort every now and than. Kaiba snickered hearing his brother sleep. He ruffled his hair softly and kissed his little brother's forehead. He kisses Aerona's forehead as well. Both kids smiled in their sleep as Kaiba got up. He left to get a shower and do his morning duties.

Mokuba was the first to wake up. He rubbed his eyes and saw it was around 8:25 and that Seto was most likely downstairs waiting for him and Aerona to come down and eat. Mokuba turned to his neice and shook her awake gently. "What?" She asked rubbing her eye. "Come on we have to go." Mokuba said as he hopped out of bed and left his brother's room for his own bedroom. Aerona tilted her head than shrugged she got out of bed, making sure she grabbed her blanket. Aerona walked out into the hall and looked down. She hadn't really stayed in her room much she only ever went in there to get some clothes or went in there with her dad when he tried to convice her to sleep in her own bed but by the third failed attempt Kaiba would give in. Aerona went into her white and light blue room and grabbed her black back pack that kept her clothes. Although her father had bought her some new clothes she preffered to where her T-Shirts. Aerona pulled out her favorite a black concert shirt that was of her favorite band, Limp Bizkit, she closed her bag and grabbed a pair of her sweatpants from a drawer in her dresser. Aerona went into the bathroom and got dressed. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She still was falling asleep at random times during the day it helped her get rid of stress. But it also worried her father and uncle alot. "I just have to try and not sleep." Aerona convinced herself as she brushed her hair. She tugged on the brush as it got stuck in her hair but she got it out.

After breakfast. Or what little she ate. Aerona decided to go upstairs and look for her Blue Eyes Plsuhie she had named, Sapphire, Aerona walked upstairs and walked into her father's room and saw where she had left the plushie. On her pillow. Aerona grabbed Sapphire and walked out of the room when she did she felt a strange force run over her. It felt like a strong wind had blown over her. Aerona looked around a bit scared to find some kind of open window or something to explain the current. She didn't find any windows around her or doors open that would let out a draft. "Daddy?" She called in a small voice. "Was that you..." She whispered scared hugging Sapphire tightly in her arms. She felt another strong turrent of air blow over her and she turned from it covering her face from the stinging wind.

"Aerona."

"Daddy?" She called out again with tears in her eyes. "Daddy! Where are you? I'm scared!" Aerona called out. "Aerona. Turn around."Aerona turned as the male voice told her to do. She saw someone standing at the a door she hadn't noticed before. The figure went through the door and dissapeared. "Dad!' Aerona called and ran up to the large doors. She stopped before the door way and saw that the doors were made of large oak. She was scared. Something about what was behind the door scared her. But this fear she felt it was familar... She couldn't place where. "D-Dad?" Aerona called in a feeble voice. "Open it." The voice sneered. "I-I c-can't I-i'm scared." She whimpered. "OPEN IT NOW!""OK!' She whimpered scared of angering her father. Aerona raised a shaken hand to the door knob the door was large so she had to stand on her tip toes to reach the large knobs. Just when she was about to lay a finger tip around the door knob.

"Aerona?"

She jumped and hid under her blanket trembling. "Whoa whoa; Aerona it's okay." Kaiba said kneeling down to the shaking form of his child. He lifted the blanket up and saw Aerona was covering her eyes with her hands, trembling. "Aerona. Open your eyes it's okay." He said cool and calm. He had no idea he spooked her that easily but that was too be expected. Aerona looked up at her father and sat up. "You okay?" Kaiba asked concerned that she had fell. "Y-Yea." She muttered she than turned and her eyes widened. The giant oak door she had seen was gone. All that was there was the wall. "But-What-How-Did-You-And the-" She stuttered trying to make sense of what she heard and seen. Kaiba raised a eyebrow at her. What was she doing up here? "Aerona what are you talking about?" He asked stern. "I heard you. You went to a door. You got mad and yelled at me..." Aerona said. Kaiba was surprised. He would never yell at Aerona unless she deserved a scolding. "Aerona." Kaiba sighed coldly. Aerona looked down. Kaiba picked Aerona up in his arms and held her close. "I would never yell at you. It was nothing just the light playing tricks on you." Kaiba said calmly. "But you were yelling at me... Did I do something wrong daddy?" Aerona asked. Kaiba shook his head. "No. You didn't I wasn't yelling; I was downstairs. I came up here because I heard you shouting for me and I thought you had gotten hurt." Kaiba explained. "Oh... I'm sorry." She apolgized and hugged her father. "It's okay." Kaiba said returning the hug. He sat Aerona down. "Go to my office I'll be there in a minute." Kaiba said. Aerona nodded and walked fpr her father's home office. Kaiba smiled some than iturned to a scowl. He turned to face the wall and laid a hand over the wallpaper he could still feel the edgeing on the old oak door that was once the "Study Room" he was tortured in as a child. All of the most horrible experiance he had were trapped inside one room. When he took over the company he had wanted to bury the memories forever. He wanted to destroy this room but he knew that wouldn't change anything if it was renovated into something else. It was still his prison cell. So he locked the doors and tore the knobs out. No one would ever get into that damned room again. Not Aerona. Not Mokuba. He never wanted either of them to learn of what he had endured. It was in the past it didn't matter anymore. Kaiba frowned and turned from the wall. "I hope he's burning in hell..." Kaiba spat as he walked towards his own office.

Aerona was sitting down under her father's desk looking at Sapphire. The plushie was very cool but she didn't understand what a 'Blue Eyes' was. Kaiba walked back into his office and sits down in his chair. He started finishing a report he started last night before the storm hit. He had to shut off his laptop before the storm came or else when the power got cut off it would've deleted his entire file. Aerona looked up at her father with her plushie under her arm. Aerona tugged on her father's pants leg to get his attention. "What's wrong Aerona?" Kaiba asked looking down at her. Aerona looke down than crawled into his lap. Kaiba smiled some than went back to working on his report. Aerona stayed still in her father's lap. She looked at her father's computer screen and saw behind the file he was typing on was a picture of what looked like her plushie. It was of a large dragon like creature that had white metal scales and deep blue eyes that glowed almost. Aerona looked at the dragon in the picture than looked down at her plushie. Than she looked at her father. "Uhm Daddy...:" She said hestitantly not wanting to interrupt her father when he worked. Kaiba looked at her and stopped typing. "What is it Aerona?" He asked. "Uhm... What is that thing?" She asked pointing to the Blue Eyes White Dragon desktop image Kaiba had on his computer. "That?" He questioned. Aerona gave a small nod. "Mokie was talking to me about it but I don't know what it is. He calls it a Blue Eyes something." Aerona said although she seemed embarressed. From how Mokuba talked about the creature it sounded very important to her father and uncle and not knowing what it was might make her be a burden to them. Kaiba just smiled some. "That's a Blue Eyes White Dragon Aerona." Kaiba said calmly. "Dragon?" She asked. Kaiba nodded. "Yes. It's a dragon and a very powerful one too." Kaiba said. "But Necro always told us that dragons were just giant lizard that ate too much and breathed fire cause they had bad breath." Aerona said confused. "Well who ever this "Necro' is he was a liar just like your mother was, but these dragons don't breath fire they can actually attack using lightning." Kaiba explained as he typed some. "Lightning? What did it had to eat to be able to do that?' Aerona asked. Outside the office door Mokuba was holding in a fit of giggles at his niece being ignorrant, He had come up to see if his brother needed help but stopped to listen when he heard Aerona ask about the Blue Eyes White Dragons.

"They don't have to 'eat' anything Aerona there just born with that power." Kaiba explained. "Ok... But what is a "Duel Monster'? Mokie talked about that too.' Aerona asked. "A Duel Monster is a creature in a game called Duel Monsters that I myself play." Kaiba said. "Sounds scary..." Aerona muttered. "Not really." Kaiba said as he pulled his metal briefcase up onto the desk. he opened it and pulled out his main deck from the hole in the case that held his deck. "What's that?" Aerona asked. "My Duel Monsters deck." Kaiba said. He handed it too Aerona who took it carefully in her small hands. "Think you can do something for me?" Kaiba asked. Aerona nodded. "Look through my deck and everytime you find one of the Blue Eyes." He pointed to the image on his computer. "Let me know and I'll tell you what to do with it." "Ok." Aerona said than started looking through each card carefully moving each one slowly so she had time to look at the pictures of the creatures. The names were long and confusing but she did like the pictures of each creature. Some where very pretty abd wekk detailed others were creepy and looked like the things she drew in her little journal. She moved a card that had the picture of a weird knight like creature on it. That's when she saw the image of the dragon with the sapphire eyes staring back at her own. She tugged on Kaiba's sleeve. "Found one?" She nodded and showed the card. "Good set that on the desk and look through the entire deck till you find all the Blue Eyes White Dragon cards." Kaiba said. Aerona nodded and looked through the cards again. She looked through some more cards and found another dragon card. She set it on the desk next to the other one. Kaiba was finishing up the report as Aerona looked through the cards. She found the last Blue Eyes card near the back. She placed the third card next to the other two and looked at the last few cards. But didn't see anymore of the dragons. Kaiba had finished the report and saved it he shut his laptop and watched his daughter look at the last few cards. Aerona than put the deck back in order. She tapped the cards on the desk once and made them straight, in order again. Aerona handed the deck back to her father. "Thanks." Kaiba said pocketing the cards.

Aerona looked at the three cards that were on the table. "I only found three." Aerona said looking at Kaiba. "Good. The reason there is three is because there is only three." Kaiba said. Aerona tilted her head some. "These cards are very rare Aerona. So rare and powerful production was stopped so only four had exsisted." Kaiba explained. "Did you loose the fourth?" Aerona asked. "No... Save to say that dragon is no longer among us." Kaiba said not wanting to reveal he was the one that destroyed the dragon. Or that it belonged to Yugi's family. "Oh... It's in heaven?" She asked looking out at the blue cloud filled sky outside. "In a way yes." Kaiba shrugged. Aerona looked back at the cards still confused and curious about the dragons. Kaiba smirked some. "Hey. Want to see a trick?" He asked the small girl. Aerona nodded. Kaiba took his deck off the table and pulled out two cards from the top. He knew all the cards in his deck by heart so he didn't have to check to make sure they were the right ones. Kaiba moved the Blue Eyes cards so they were lined up close together. "Now in a simple world three heads are better than one and you know why?" Kaiba asked his daughter as he sat the two cards down, over head of the three Blue Eyes, face down. "Hmmmmmmm." Aerona thought for a moment. "More mouth to put food in?" She asked in her childish ways. Kaiba snickered and shook his head. Aerona was very cute. "No. Nice guess though. But really." Kaiba turned the first card over Polymerzation. "You can fuse all three of them with this card." Kaiba said. "Poly-what?" Aerona asked trying to read the card. "Polymerzation Aerona." Kaiba corrected. "Whats up with all these weird names!?" Aerona asked out. Kaiba shook his head and chuckled. "It's just to make the game interesting. But trust me Mokuba reacted the same as you did at first. But look past the names and watch." Kaiba said. Aerona looked at the last unflipped card with some excitment. "Now as I said no three heads aren't used for eating but for another purpose for power." Kaiba flipped the last card showing the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Aerona looked at the three headed dragon. "Hydra." She said. "Yes in cases it is a hydra but unlike the hydra this dragon could kill a hydra." Kaiba said. Aerona picked the card of the Ultimate Dragon up and looked at it.

"You see Aerona Blue Eyes White Dragons are important because they refelct the Kaiba name. In ways the Blue Eyes has gotten me, Mokuba, and yourself out of more trouble than anything. It's actually because of a Blue Eyes I'm here today. And why I have you back." Kaiba said. Aerona looked at her father than at the Blue Eyes card. She did know these creatures were important. That did explain the shadow monsters she always dreamed of. But these monsters weren't like the black shadows that were after her and trying to hurt her these shadows were white and always protected her as she ran for shelter in her dreams. "Blue Eyes White Dragons..." Aerona thought to herself. "Are there others?" Aerona asked. "Others. One but I don't use it much." Kaiba said pulling another card out from the middle of his deck. He showed it to the small girl. "Blue Eyes Shining Dragon." Kaiba said as Aerona took the card from him and looked at the light monster. "Shining Dragon?" Aerona questioned. Kaiba gave a nod. "Yes this dragon is special. It recuries a the Ultimate Dragon to be sacrficed to summon it to the field. It can also destroy any monster or magic and trap card on the field. But I'll explain what those are later." Kaiba explained. Aerona gave a nod. Kaiba looked at Aerona seeing how much intrest she took in the card. "Aerona. How about we make a deal? You hang onto to the Shining Dragon for me till I go back into dueling." Kaiba asked. Aerona looked at her father with shining eyes. "Really?" She asked with eyes of adoration. "Sure, when I get back into a tournament or something I'll show you what a Blue Eyes White Dragon can really do." Kaiba said smiling at Aerona some. Aerona hugged her father. Kaiba returned the embrace. Aerona thought for a moment. "Hey Daddy?" "What is it?" Kaiba asked. "If the Shining dragon shines does that mean it's a fairy dragon?" Aerona asked. 'What?" Kaiba asked confused. "I have a book of monsters and in the book it says that fairies are shiny little dots so if the Shining Dragon is shiny does that mean it's a fairy too?" Aerona asked curiosily. "... Maybe..." Kaiba said unsure what to say back to Aerona. Aerona just smiled.

Outside the door, to Kaiba's office, Mokuba was covering his mouth while rolling on the floor despratly trying not to laugh out loud. His neice sure did know how to stump his brother. She had the same curiosity Seto had if not more. Mokuba managed to calm down after a few minutes of holding his laughter in. But he still felt the occasional snicker or giggle here and there slip out. He exhaled a breath before entering the office. When he did he saw that Aerona had fallen asleep in his brother's lap. "Hey big bro." Mokuba greeted as he entered the room. "What is it Mokuba?" Kaiba asked raising a eyebrow. "Nothing just came to see what you were doing. Is Aerona okay?" Mokuba asked. "She fell asleep a few minutes ago." Kaiba said laying a hand on her head. Mokuba noticed Aerona was holding the black book she always carried around in her arms and in her hand was a Duel Monsters card. "Aerona likes Duel Monsters?" Mokuba asked. "She took some intrest. I hope she does." Kaiba said as he looked over something on his laptop. "What card she got?' Mokuba asked letting out a small giggle. Kaiba raised a eyebrow at Mokuba but the boy looked away as if he hadn't said anything. "One of the dragons it wasn't a Blue Eyes don't worry." Kaiba said. "Yea I know. It was a 'Fairy Dragon" right? hehehe" Mokuba giggled. Kaiba sighed and laid a hand over his eyes clearly annoyed. "Mokuba." He said stern. "Easy Nii-sama it was really funny. Hehehehe." Mokuba laughed some. Kaiba sighed. He laid a hand over Aerona as she slept so she didnt fall out of his lap. "Aerona is alot like you were back than Nii-sama." Mokuba said smiling but he hid back the pain. He really missed the brother Kaiba was before. The Seto he knew. But everytime he saw Aerona he could tell that the Seto he once knew was who Aerona was like the most.

Kaiba held Aerona as she slept. He had a feeling something bad was coming. But he couldn't tell what but what he did know was it had something to do with his past. There was NO possible way Aerona would have know the exact location of that damned room. Mokuba didn't even remember that room had even existed again because Kaiba made sure it was kept hidden. But something had drawn Aerona too that door. No 4 year old, no matter how much of his intelligance she had gotten from him, would've ever known that door was hidden there. Not unless someone had lead her there or had told her. He just prayed whatever was coming wasnt what he thought it was.
