The next morning Yami walked into Seto's room and opened the curtains like he did every morning.

"Okay Seto, time to get up…" Yami stopped when he didn't see Seto in his bed. It was clear that the bed had been slept in but Seto was nowhere to be seen. Fear started to make itself known, after all the attempts on his life Yami was frightened. But then he shook his head. 'Don't think like that. We're inside the castle. Though I am seriously going to study my spell books and look for a protection spell. One of my visions said Yugi put one around Mokuba in case of danger. I'm going to have to find that spell of ask Master Dartz.'

Yami decided to check in on Mokuba to be sure he was okay. When he walked in he was surprised to see Mokuba curled up on Seto. Yami sighed in relief seeing Seto there with Mokuba. He walked over and gently shook him. "Seto come on wake up, time to get up."

Seto stretched and yawned then looked up and smiled. "Hey, what's going on?"

"It's seven o'clock. What you doing in here?"

"I felt I should check on him." Seto said then started to stroke Mokuba's hair. "Poor thing, I don't know why, but he had a nightmare and was afraid to come to me."

"That's weird, since when? We've always welcomed him with open arms. We've shown him more than once we don't mind his sleeping with us."

"I don't know, I guess start checking on him more often. It's strange though for some reason he thought I wouldn't hug him. He asked permission first."

"That is weird. Maybe it had to do with his nightmare."

"Possibly."

"Well its Friday, so lets put off work till Monday. We can do a little later tonight while the kid's play or color or something. We can spend the day with the kids."

"That's fine."

x-x-x-x-x-x-xx-x-x-x-x-x

"That night they were doing paperwork while the kid's were coloring, Yami smiled as he watched the kid's color. Maura had her dog toy on the table next to her and Mokuba had his cat and baby dragon on his side of the table.

"Master Yami sir, its Maura's bed time." Mai said.

Maura stood up and grabbed Yami's hand. "After Mai helps me get ready for bed, will you tuck me in?"

Yami was surprised by this, "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Yami looked at Seto.

"Go ahead, we'll wait here till you get back." Seto said.

"All right, let's go." Yami said standing up taking Maura's hand.

x-x-x-x-x-x-xx-x-x-x-x-x

A minute later Mokuba looked up and noticed that Maura had forgotten her toy.

"S-Seto."

"Mmm, what is it kiddo."

"M-Maura forgot her toy."

"Oh well why don't you go give it to her."

Mokuba hadn't counted on Seto saying that. He wasn't stupid. He knew the rule about touching other people's toys. Okay so a lot of the rules that he was use to living by changed since coming to live with Seto and Yami. However, that was one rule Mokuba didn't want to break.

"What's wrong Mokuba, if you hurry you can catch up to Yami and Maura." Seto said reaching over and grabbing the toy.

Mokuba stood up as Seto handed him the toy. Seto had forgotten that the boy wasn't allowed to touch others toys. Mokuba shakily took it, seeing him shake Seto remembered.

"It's all right kiddo. You wont hurt it, it'll be all right."

Mokuba nodded and left. He caught up to Yami and Maura.

"M-Maura."

Maura turned around as Mokuba shakily held out the toy.

"Y-you f-forgot t-this."

Maura smiled and took the toy and was surprised when Mokuba's hands went behind his back.

"Thanks, I would have wondered what I did with it."

Yami bent down and pulled Mokuba close to him. "It's all right kiddo. You're not in trouble."

Maura was confused. 'Why would he get into trouble just for returning my toy?'

"Why don't you go on back to Seto and get ready for treatments."

Mokuba nodded and hugged him. Yami squeezed him tight. Then Mokuba went back to Seto. After Mai had helped Maura get dressed, Yami went in to tuck her in.

"Yami, why was Mokuba shaking? It almost looked like he was afraid he'd get into trouble just for giving me back my toy."

"Its just part of his past. It wasn't a pleasant one."

"But you and Seto would never hurt him."

Yami sighed and sat down on the bed. "Mokuba's only lived here a few months. Soon, after he was born our father took him away and gave him away."

"Why?"

"He always said he didn't want him around."

"Didn't your mother oppose?"

"Mokuba's mother died after he was born."

"So, he never knew his mother?"

"No."

"Didn't you and Seto protest his taking him?"

Yami sighed, "Seto did, the king would have beat me good if I'd said anything. We were a little older than you at the time."

"Oh."

"Now, no more questions go to sleep." Yami said kissing her forehead and checking the covers before leaving.

Maura sighed. "Well that's a start. Maybe before much longer he'll tell me everything. I'd ask Mokuba but from the way, he acted when he gave me this toy, I'm not sure he'd tell me. I'm not even going to try Seto. He barley looks at me much less tell me anything about Mokuba. I'm still curious about what he meant by, they were afraid Mokuba would run away again. I've been here a week, I can't imagine why he'd want to run away." Finally, she snuggled up with her toy and went to sleep.

x-x-x-x-x-x-xx-x-x-x-x-x

The next day they were off to the fair. Everyone was excited. Even Seto and Yami. As they were walking Seto and Yami, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Mokuba though he had a tight hold on Seto's hand was looking around and enjoying the sights. Maura was doing the same holding onto Yami's hand.

Then Mokuba spotted the ride he had to beg Ryo to let him go on and started to drag Seto over to it. Yami was happy to see Mokuba wasn't frightened or shying away from anything, though he was clinging to Seto's hand it was to keep from getting lost. He and Maura followed. Yami was curious as to what made Mokuba so excited.

Mokuba stopped in front of the ride. Seto and Yami stood there and watched as someone was strapped into the seat. Then several people used the handles at the opposite end of a long poll that the seat was attached to, to spin the person up and around.

"C-can I ride it big brother? It's r-really fun!"

Yami was the first to snap out of shock. "No! No way!"

Mokuba was a little disappointed.

"Mokuba is this the ride you told me you begged Ryo to let you go on?" Seto asked.

Mokuba nodded, then got an idea. "W-why don't ride w-with me big brother. T-there's m-more than enough room."

"I don't know Mokuba."

"Why not Seto? You wouldn't wont to disappoint him now would you?" Yami taunted.

Maura could easily see this was obviously a game they were playing. Yami was teasing Seto to get him to do it. Well she did want Seto to like her more and though the ride made her nervous if Mokuba liked it, it couldn't be all bad. She felt that maybe if she stood up for Seto it'd be a starting point. "Why don't we ride it, big brother?" Maura asked Yami.

Now it was Seto's turn to tease him. "Yeah Yami. You wouldn't want to disappoint the little girl now would you?"

Yami glared at him. Finally, he shook his head. "I'd say their ganging up on us, Seto."

"Looks that way."

"Mokuba, Ryo really let you ride that thing?" Yami asked.

Mokuba nodded. "H-he s-said he was scared the e-entire t-time I was on there."

"I can see why." Yami said.

"S-so can we ride it big brother?" Mokuba asked Seto.

Seto sighed. He didn't want to but if Ryo let him ride it alone, the least he could do is ride it with him. They rode it and after it was over Seto staggered back over to Yami and sat down on a bench.

"Well how was it?" Yami asked.

"I-it w-was r-really fun!" Mokuba said excitedly. " I w-want to go again!"

Yami smiled at how happy Mokuba was.

"NO! I don't think I could handle it." Seto said.

Mokuba giggled and sat down next to him.

"It was that bad?" Maura asked.

Seto sighed. "Well, it's a little scary, I just don't think I can do it, again. But it's not really that bad I don't guess. Just not for me."

"Then let's go, big brother." Maura said dragging Yami.

Seto smiled. "Have fun!"
