"Koi would you care to stay for dinner?"

"Are you sure it wont be any trouble?"

"No, not at all. You're more than welcome. I insist, I'd like you to meet my brother anyway."

"Well in that case, I accept."

Yami smiled and set Mokuba down. "Good. Mokuba, Maura run upstairs get cleaned up and change clothes, then come down to the dinning hall."

Mokuba frowned. "W-why there? We n-never eat there?"

Yami looked at him, "You mean to tell me that you didn't eat Thanksgiving in there?"

Mokuba shook his head no.

Yami was annoyed now. "Well we will tonight as we have company and we will eat in there at Christmas. Now run along and get ready."

Mokuba nodded and he and Maura left.

"You don't have to eat some where special for my sake. I'm happy anywhere."

Yami shook his head. "Think nothing of it. The dinning hall is much better suited for company. If you'll wait here I'll have a butler show you where you can clean up and then show you to the dinning hall."

"All right, I'll wait here."

After getting a butler to show Koi where to go, Yami went to get Seto. He walked into his office and cleared his throat to get Seto's attention.

Seto looked up surprised. "Is something wrong?" he asked noticing the glare on his face.

"Yes, we have company for dinner."

"Is this good company or bad company? From the look on your face I'd say bad."

Yami shook his head. "No, actually, the guest is a friend of mine. He helped us in the battle against Pandora."

"Okay, then why are we so upset?"

"When I told the kids that we were going to eat in the dinning hall, Mokuba informed me that you didn't eat in there for Thanksgiving."

"So? Yami it was just the two of us. I didn't feel the need to burden the staff with fixing the room up for us to eat in there."

"Why not? We always ate in there? Did you ever think that maybe it might have made the time even more special for Mokuba?"

"The kid didn't care. He was so thrilled with getting to try turkey for the first time and a few other things that he didn't care where he was."

Yami glared. "You mean to tell me that after forcing the poor kid to slave away and wait on them and their guest hand and foot, she didn't even bother throwing the poor kid a few scrapes! Since they thought of him as nothing more than a dog, I'd have thought she'd at least give him some scrapes!"

"Well I would have so too, but not from what he's told me."

"I still don't understand why you didn't use the dinning hall? We always eat in there on special occasions, didn't you think the kids first Thanksgiving in a real home special enough?"

Seto stood up. "Of course I did! I didn't tell the staff to set it up in there, I forgot! I didn't remind them because I got to thinking that the size of the room and everything would probably frighten him, being just the two of us in such a huge room."

"I guess it might have, but the minute you sat down to eat, I'm sure he'd have relaxed and forgotten where he was. Maybe I should reprimand the staff. They know we always eat in there on major holidays."

"Why do that? It was my fault for forgetting to remind them."

"That's not the point. You shouldn't have had to remind them. They knew it was a holiday and knew it was suppose to be set up in the small dinning hall. Where did you eat then?"

"Where we always do, in the dinning room. Look Yami, Mokuba didn't care where we ate. I wish you could have been here though. You should have seen the look on his face. It lit up so much and that was just a small bite. It reminds me of the day I brought him home and we fed him for the first time."

Yami smiled. "I remember, it reminded you a little of the sun. His face just lit up."

"Yeah, it was about like that."

"Well we'd better get ready." Yami said leaving.

Maura still felt guilty over what happened with Mokuba earlier, especially with having to tell Yami. She spotted Mokuba in the hall and walked up to him not knowing that Seto was coming up around the corner.

"Mokuba, um…I really am sorry about what happened. I really didn't know the doll was yours."

"I-it's okay."

Seto turned the corner, "What did you do?"

"I-its n-nothing big brother." Mokuba said.

Seto glared at them. "Mokuba tell me what happened."

"I p-promised Yami, I w-wouldn't."

Now Seto was fuming. "All right, go into dinner."

Mokuba was afraid his brother was mad at him but nodded and went into the dinning hall followed by Maura.

Seto waited for Yami.

Yami was surprised to find Seto waiting for him. "Is something wrong, Seto?"

"Yes, I don't appreciate your telling Mokuba to keep secrets from me."

"What are talking about Seto?"

"Just as I was about to turn the corner your little girl was apologizing to Mokuba, saying something about his doll. When I questioned Mokuba he told me that you didn't want me to know."

"Oh, um well…"

"Well?"

"Well I knew it would only upset you, that's why I didn't want you to know."

"Tell me, what happened."

Yami didn't like it but told what happened.

"And you think that it was a good idea to keep this from me! I don't want you telling Mokuba to keep secrets from me!"

"This is why I didn't want you to know, it's upsetting you."

"It upsets me more that Mokuba's learning its okay to keep secrets."

"It was one time Seto. Besides, Maura knows what she did wrong. She wont let it happen again. She's not the only one whose ever screwed up Seto!"

"Fine, you'll have to look after the kids for a couple of hours tomorrow."

"You're not going to start dating again are you?"

"No, as much as I enjoyed my time with them, I think a part of it was to fill the loneliness I felt without you. I also enjoyed their company. No, I don't think I'm going to start dating again just yet. I have business to take care of tomorrow. You're always harping on me that I have to get something for that girl for Christmas. This meeting I have to go to will get that."

"Fine."

After dinner Yami invited Koi to stay the night and the next morning he was gone before breakfast.
