After all that happened the day before and after Noah's threat Seto and Yami decided since they only had another day of boring royal court they'd just keep Mokuba with them. Giving Ryo another day off which he spent with Shizuka. Seto and Yami even got a chair that they set between their chairs, so that Mokuba could sit in between them.

The three had a good day Seto always hated royal court but the past two days of teaching, Mokuba he'd actually found to be enjoyable. Seto and Yami were teaching him what all they had to do for royal courts and how to handle complaints, disputes between people and what to do with gifts. Usually complaints and disputes between people are handled during once a month settings of grievances.

Finally, it was over and after they had finished lunch, the mail was set on the table. Seto picked through it. It was mostly fan letters or love letters. Then one in particular caught his eye. It was from someone who used to work for Seto and Yami as a scout. He was also one of the few they had sent out to look for their brother. After returning from one such visit he announced that his wife was forcing him to quite to help raise their two-year old son. He was quitting and moving to another town to settle down with his family. But promised that if he ever heard or saw anything that might lead to their brother he'd let them know as soon as possible. This was 5 years ago and they hadn't heard one word for him or any of the others that moved on till today.

As Seto read over the letter, he couldn't believe what it said.

"Seto what's wrong what does the letter say?" Yami asked.

Seto shakily handed the letter to Yami. His eyes opened just as wide as he read it!

It read:

"Dear King Kaiba you probably don't remember me my name is Donovan Gower. I was once one of your lead scouts and in charge of searching for the lost young prince. Well recently, I ran across a young boy who I noticed looked just like you. Well I talked to him and I soon discovered that the king met his family on the road and sold the boy to them. He was recently orphaned in a fire and I noticed he had a necklace that I'd seen you wear in the past. It even had your name. The boy's name is Mokuba and when I told him about you and Master Yami, he was excited. He couldn't wait to meet you."

"I can't believe it after all these years, he's been found!" Seto said.

'Whose been found?' Mokuba wondered.

"I know, our brother's finally coming home!" Yami said.

'Their brother?' Mokuba wondered.

"I still can't believe it! To think one of our original searchers remembered our quest and actually located our brother after retiring." Seto said.

"To think he just walked into town and there he was wearing the necklace." Yami said.

"It's just hard to believe. We'd better start making plans." Seto said getting up.

"Yes, I will also send someone to confirm that it is our brother." Yami said getting up and standing next to Seto facing him.

"Good, now we need to figure out where we're going to put him. I mean there are only 4 rooms in our wing of the house. Father converted all the others to an upstairs family room and recreation room. I think we'll convert the recreation room to a play room." Seto said.

"But Seto where are you going to put him?"

"I mean you gave his room to Mokuba."

"Oh, right, I forgot that." Seto said.

'My room belongs to their real brother?' Mokuba wondered.

"Plus what about his name? You named him after our brother." Yami said.

'Oh yeah right now I remember. You said you named me after your brother didn't you.' Mokuba thought depressed.

"Well with the name I guess we can call him Mokie, that should avoid some confusion." Seto said.

'Well I guess that's a good sign that they don't want to throw me out yet.' Mokuba thought hating this brother coming already.

"As for a room, well there's another wing not far from ours. They just finished renovating it. We'll move Mokuba there. He'll have the whole wing to himself."

"That's sounds like a good idea." Yami said.

'Good idea! That's a bad idea! I've seen our wing at night and its long dark and spooky! Even knowing Seto, Yami and Ryo are just in those rooms it's scary and now I have to go to a wing all by myself! Well I guess I can learn to live with it, it can't be much scarier than my room in the basement was, right?' Mokuba wondered even though he didn't like the sound of it he walked over and stood between them.

"Well I guess we should go see just how much needs to be done on that wing." Seto said turning but running into Mokuba. "Watch it kiddo. You need to be more careful where you stand." He said just moving past Mokuba with his hands on his shoulders to move him to the side.

Mokuba was sad when he just walked past him giving a very faint smile.

"Come on kiddo, Seto and I have a lot of things to do to get ready for our brother. You'll just be bored." Yami said.

'No, what you mean and don't want to say is I'll just be in the way. I'm not that stupid! I knew the day Seto asked to bring me home I'd eventually just be in the way.'

"Otogi." Yami called.

"Yes, sir." Otogi asked.

"We gave Ryo the day off and Seto and I have some things to take care of. We need you to take care of Mokuba for us."

"Certainly sir."

"We'll see you later kiddo." Yami said.

"Well kid looks like it's just me and you." Otogi said.

'Yeah unfortunately, it is.' Mokuba thought.

Johnson felt now was the time to approach Mokuba. As Otogi was showing Mokuba a maze that leads out into the forest, they made their way back to the center where a fountain and some benches were sitting Johnson saw them and approached.

"Well kid, I've been looking forward to meeting you. Please lets sit down and talk."

'Why not I have nothing better to do.' Mokuba thought sitting down on a bench next to him.

"So, I heard the kings real little brother has been found. It looks like you're just in the way now. How long do you really think this arrangement will last? How long do you really think they'd want to keep a stupid little replacement around when they'll now have the real thing? How long before they make you a servant or just throw you out in the street or better yet back to where you came from!"

Mokuba sighed. 'Before today I'd have said he was wrong. That Seto and Yami care what happens to me. That they would never throw me out or reject me. But now, now, I'm not so sure.'

"Think about what I said. You're only in the way now. They don't want you maybe they never did! You were just here because they felt sorry for you, because you helped the king out. You were nothing more than a replacement for their real brother nothing more nothing less! How long will it be before they forget you exist? You were given their brother's room, his name everything you own and have rightfully belongs to him! How long before he finds this out when he gets here and demands you go back to your old name, old home or just to be taken away. How much time do you think it will take him to convince them to do as he ask?"

Mokuba sighed he was tired of listening to him and walked over to Otogi. "C-can we g-go n-now?"

"Yeah, sure kid." Otogi said.

Otogi left Mokuba inside the castle and went back to work. As Mokuba approached the room for dinner he could hear them still talking about his brother. He couldn't face it; he couldn't go in there. He stayed till they had dinner served. He was really saddened that they just now noticed him gone.

"Where do think Mokuba is?" Seto asked.

"He's probably eating with Otogi or maybe Ryo returned and he's with him."

"Yeah, your probably right nothing to worry about."

They then were starting to talk more about their brother and all their plans. Later on that night, he went to see if they were going to go with him for treatments but when he found them in his room talking about making plans to totally change it he decided to go alone. He'd wait for Ryo but he didn't know when he'd be back. It was long and painful physically but mostly the pain was emotional wondering if that man was right. Maybe Seto and Yami didn't want him around anymore.
