Mokuba and Ryo left the toy store and were walking around. Ryo decided to look into the saddle shop and see if there was anything of interest Bakura might like. As they were walking they passed the antiques store. Yuranzo the storeowner spotted him and ran outside.

"Mokuba come on don't stand around let's go. If you want to look in there we'll do it in a few minutes." Ryo said.

Mokuba nodded and started to turn towards Ryo who'd already gone into the store.

Yuranzo opened the door and smiled. "Hello there young man."

Mokuba was surprised by the mans sudden appearance. "H-hi."

The stutter told him he was right. "You are Master Yami's little one aren't you? I'm not mistaken am I?"

Mokuba shook his head.

"Good! Just as I thought! Now please come with me, there's something I want to show you."

"B-but R-Ryo's w-waiting for me. H-He'll be mad if I don't go."

"Oh, well please then come back. I really want to show you something."

Mokuba nodded.

Ryo who was waiting just inside the door for Mokuba was slightly worried that he hadn't shown up yet. He walked out to see him talking to someone and walked closer.

"Is there a problem?" Ryo asked.

Yuranzo turned around, "No, no problem. I was just having a nice conversation with this young man."

Ryo looked over at Mokuba.

"I'm s-sorry big brother. I w-was coming but t-then he s-stopped me."

The man looked confused. "I thought he was Master Yami's little one. I've talked to him but he never indicated how the child was connected to him."

"Master Yami and the king are Mokuba's brothers. They adopted him. We were friends before they met and well its strange but in a way the king and Master Yami sort of adopted me too! But Mokuba is their main concern. The kid looks to me as another brother."

"Ah, I see. Yes, we all know how the king was devastated at the death of his little brother. The late king told everyone that he never accepted the death. I'm glad to see he accepted it and has moved on enough to love another."

Ryo found this interesting since he'd heard rumors that Mokuba was their brother by blood and that Seto had told him that his father took Mokuba away. This was the first he was hearing of Mokuba's supposedly being dead. However, he felt that if Seto wanted the people to know he would have told them by now. Though he decided to make a mental note to ask him about this. He decided instead to change the subject. "So, was there something you needed?"

"What? Oh yes, of course. Where's my head? Come in, I have something I want you to see."

They followed him into the store and towards the back.

"Now wait here a moment." Yuranzo said and came back a moment later with a covered statue. "Well here we are."

"What is it?" Ryo asked.

"Well this is a special statue that Master Yami order months ago. However, when the shipment came in the statue was broken. I felt terrible knowing he wanted that for the king's birthday. Well I found him something else, he liked just a well but I always felt guilty over that."

"Why you didn't break it did you?"

"No, No, it was broke during shipment. So, I took the liberty of contacting the artist and told him everything that happened. Plus what it was for. I told him of the relationship between the king and Master Yami and their love for things like this, then he agreed to make this one special."

"So why haven't you given it to him?" Ryo asked.

"Well it only just arrived a few days ago. The artist took so long because he wanted it to be absolutely perfect. I want you to take them. Master Yami never knew I ordered the new ones."

Mokuba looked up at Ryo. "C-Can we?"

"I-I don't know."

"Please, I insist. I want to do this."

"Why not just give it to you himself?"

"I can't do that. It would be inappropriate to give something like that as a gift to either the king or Master Yami. I wouldn't feel right about it. Please I'd love for the little one to give it to him."

Ryo was still a little iffy about it. But one look at Mokuba's face made him cave. "Alright, pack it up and we'll pick it up on the way home."

Yuranzo smiled. "Of course. No problem."

"Come on kiddo, maybe you can help me pick some things out for Bakura for Christmas."

"W-will you help m-me pick something out too? F-for Uncle Bakura and Varon?"

Ryo smiled. "Sure thing kiddo, lets go."

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

Just as Maura thought she'd found the perfect thing for her sisters, she spotted something else.

"Hey, I know I can get this for Diana, this for Ren, this for Jasmine and this one for Nydia! Its perfect! Now I still have to see about something for Seto, Yami and Mokuba. I thought I'd find something by now!" Maura then decided to ask for help. She walked over to Joey.

Joey looked up. "Hey, are you done?"

"No, I was hoping maybe you could help me find the perfect gifts for Seto, Yami and Mokuba."

"Well, I don't know kid."

"I overheard Ryo say you had a sister. Have you gotten her anything yet?"

At that, Joey looked panicked. "No, I almost forgot about that! She'll kill me if I don't get her something decent this year!"

"Perfect, if you help me find something good for my brothers. I promise to help you find the perfect thing for your sister."

"Really? Aw man, I could use the help. She practically kills me every year cause she hates what I pick out!"

"Then it's a deal? You help me, I'll help you; there are also a couple of maids at our castle and my old one I'd like to get gifts for. Once that's done, I promise you your sister will love her present."

Joey thought for a moment. As hard as it was for him to admit, if he didn't have her help Serenity would kill him for sure! "Okay, kid. You've got yourself a deal!"

So, Joey and Maura set off to find the perfect gifts.
