The world went black again.
"You didn't lose anything." A voice behind Yami said.
Yami turned around. "Master Dartz? What are doing here and what do you mean, I didn't lose anything? I was just told I've been missing for 15 years!"
"This like the last is simply a vision. You have gained a new power called foresight. This ability allows you to see visions of the future. However you must understand your past in order to accept the future."
"Are you saying this is my future?"
"This is a possible future, nothing has been written in stone yet. I am here to offer you a chance to change this. I am offering you a chance to learn and train with me. You have the potential to be a great magician and save hundreds of lives in an upcoming battle."
"So your saying that if I agree to this I can change this and save my family."
"I am saying you have a chance to save the world. The fate of your family is of little concern. I am interested in saving the world."
Yami was mad. "My family is my concern! As for training with you, I don't know. I need time to think."
"Very well, when you have decided, feel free to let me know." Dartz said.
"Why, why would you want me?"
"My granddaughter is good, but you have what it takes to as great as the legendary dark magician that once tamed the blue eyes white dragon."
"It sounds good but my family needs me!"
"It is your choice but at your current level you will not be able to save the world and there is another with the same potential however I believe the best person to do this is you!"

Yami wakes with a start and looks around realizing he's home. He feels something beside him, he looks and smiles seeing Seto sitting up asleep. He reached out, grabbed him and hugged him.
Seto woke with a start and hugged back. "I'm so happy you're all right. I was worried."
Yami sat up, "What happened? Where's Mokuba?"
"Calm down look beside you."
Yami turned around and sighed seeing the kid sound to sleep next to him.
"He was as worried about you as I was and insisted on staying with you."
Yami reached over and started to pick him up.
"What are doing he's sleeping soundly."
Mokuba whimpered a little at first but then as Yami got him on his shoulder, he snuggled in.
"What's wrong with you? What happened?" Seto asked.
"It's complicated, let's discuss it later." Yami said sitting back and snuggling against Seto much to his surprise.
Seto didn't argue with it and covered them up.
The next morning Yami woke up and was surprised but happy to see he was home safe and sound. He rubbed Mokuba's back waking him.
Mokuba sat up and smiled, "You okay now big brother?"
Yami kissed his forehead, "Yeah, kiddo I'm okay."
"What happened to you last night?" Seto asked being woken.
"I…I'm not entirely sure. Let's just spend the day together and try to forget." Yami said.
As Seto and Mokuba finished breakfast, Yami took Mokuba's presents and moved them to the playroom. He knew what he had to do. If Master Dartz was right and a great disaster was coming, then his family was in danger; he had to train to get stronger. The last thing he wanted was to lose his family, he hated to leave he knew it would be hard on them all. However, he had two choices stay and risk losing his family and possible world destruction or leaving for now and have a chance to save them and the world. He wanted to see Mokuba's face when he opened these presents he wanted to see the kid happy. He wanted a happy memory of the kid to see him through however long his training would last.

A half-hour later Yami walked in to the living room to get them.
"Come on Seto, it's time to let Mokuba finally open up his presents."
"All right, all right I'm coming." Seto said taking Mokuba into the playroom where Yami had the presents set up.
"Okay kiddo just pick one and start opening it." Yami told him.
Yami and Seto smiled at how happy he was at each new item. The hugs they got in the end and seeing him so happy was all the reward they could ask for.
Mokuba walked over to Yami and handed him his new books. "W-will you read to me big brother?"
Yami smiled and pulled the boy into his lap. "Now which book should we start with?"
"Well I've got work to do so you two have fun." Seto said ruffling Mokuba's hair.
x-x-x-x-x-x-xx-x-x-x-x-x
After Yami had read to him, he realized that with him gone Seto wouldn't have as much time to find someone to help Mokuba learn to read. So he decided he'd try to do it now while he had the time.
"Come on kiddo, let's go."
"W-Where are we g-going big brother?"
"Well I'm going to see if you can go to school. Seto might not like it, I know he didn't want you to go to a pubic school he wanted to hire a tutor but if we can get you to school I think you might be happier."
As they rode up to the school Mokuba remembered the place all too well.
"Okay kiddo go stand by the swings while I put the horse up."
Mokuba walked over to what Yami had thrown him against the last time they were there. He wondered why it was called a swing. Noah and the others once had a wheel on rope like this and vaguely remembered them on it but it broke and he was always afraid to go near it even when the family wasn't home. He pulled the rope back and forth. 'Maybe your just suppose to swing it back and forth.' Mokuba thought but as he did, it tended to hit the other.
A kid that was playing hokey that day saw him swinging it. "Hey kid, what you think you're doing?"
Mokuba jumped and let go of the swing and saw the boy get on one.
"You want to see, which of us can swing higher?"
"S-swing?" Mokuba question.
The boy was about 12 and he never really made that many friends cause his parents didn't like to settle into any one place for too long. So, in some ways he was like Mokuba in not knowing what something's were. "Yeah you know like this." The boy said swinging.
Mokuba carefully sat down. He watched the other boy a minute to see how he was moving and soon was doing it to.

Yuranzo, the antique storeowner, stopped Yami. They talked for a few minutes and when Yami returned he smiled seeing Mokuba had made a friend. He hated to disturb them so he just watched till another boy walked up.
x-x-x-x-x-x-xx-x-x-x-x-x
"Hey Muran, who's your friend?"
"Actually I forgot to ask. My names Muran and this is Shimon. What yours?" he asked Mokuba.
"M-Mokuba."
"Hey, wait I know you. Your JJ, Noah's brother." Shimon said.
Mokuba whimpered and stood up at this. Yami didn't hear what was said but walked over. He placed his hand on Mokuba's head who turned around and wrapped his arms around him.
"Is there a problem?" Yami asked.
"Who might you be? You're not related to Noah and that's his brother." Shimon said.
"You're wrong he's not, he's my little brother." Yami said with pride in his voice.
