6/3/06--Yes, there is at the moment only a part 6, but this could easily change in the future. It may go to 7 or more, at this point I can't predict wheather or not it will go any further than 6.You see I've been slacking off a little. I got into Gravitation and been caught up in reading those fanfics. I've been lazy and haven't been writing much. My Seto's Wish sequel which is making me very mad at no reviews, isn't finished yet. This story I don't really see an end in sight. If not for mediaminder reviewer,Jasmine's wanting me to include her own character Maura and her history I'd had plans to end it. Some have said they'd rather watch the story die than keep Maura, but Maura gives me someone else for Mokuba to have with him and sometimes she becomes important, other times not. At first I wasn't thinking of keeping her long,but now I like her and at least for the time being she's sticking around.

Seto went into town and when the person he was to meet wasn't there, he shopped around and bought more things for Mokuba and Yami. He even found one or two things for Maura. He knew Yami would yell at him if he only got her the one thing. After shopping for an hour and putting things in his buggy, he saw a royal carriage rolling up to the hotel. He quickly made his way over there.

After the driver helped her out of her carriage Seto approached. "Greetings, Princess Jasmine of Kamilah."

Jasmine looked up. "I'm sorry, do I know you?"

"I apologize, I like to keep a low profile while I'm in town. I am King Kaiba of Draglor."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I…."

"It's all right, perfectly understandable. We have only officially met once. Did you find anything that I asked for?"

Jasmine smiled, "Yes, as a matter of fact I did. It's a doll. It belonged to our great-grandmother and has been in the family ever since."

"I appreciate your allowing me to give it to her."

"Not at all. I am just so happy to see my little sister happy. I'm so glad she's somewhere safe."

"Well you tell anyone this any I will deny it! But as much as I hate admitting it, your sister's been good for my little brother. Yami keeps trying to convince me even though she's a fierce protector I should just accept that she wont end up hurting him. Your sisters welcome to remain as long as she likes and doesn't hurt my brother! My little brother grew up in a hellhole and sometimes that makes him latch on to people who are nice to him easily. I don't want to see him hurt!"

"I can understand that. But what do you mean by protector?"

"It seems your stepmother hired someone to kill Maura."

"W-what? Maura's not hurt is she?" Jasmine asked concerned for her sister's safety.

"No, she was healed quickly. By protector I mean she's been protecting my brother from danger. There are people who use to work for me that want me off the throne and are willing to use my little brother by killing him to do it! They have attempted this more than once and your sister has fought back and protected him from danger. I was informed that a friend of Yami's was visiting and even though he meant no harm Maura defended Mokuba and fought against him. I was also told she took judo lessons."

"My father use to take judo lessons. But I never knew Maura did. Its strange I never knew my father allowed Maura to take lessons."

"All I can tell you is what I have been told. My brother wants me to see about getting her martial arts lessons. I did stop by my sensei's house and he wasn't home."

"I see, I had no idea my little sister could be so brave."

"I would like you to come and stay at the castle. I'm sure Maura would be very happy to see you."

"I don't know."

"Please I insist. I'm sure after what I've told you your worried about her. I'm sure you'll want to see her for yourself to be sure she's okay."

Jasmine thought about it. She couldn't deny that she wanted to see her that she was worried. "Very well I accept. However I'd like to wait till tomorrow if you don't mind to tell Maura."

"I don't mind at all, might I enquire why?"

"I've been on the road no stop since I left and I know Maura will be no stop talking about her new life and asking me questions. Plus, if its all right my sister Diana hopes to be here tomorrow with a surprise of her own for her."

"You are both more than welcome to stay. There's more than enough room. I shall have a maid on hand to help you with anything you may need."

"Thank you, I appreciate it."

What Jasmine didn't tell Seto was she wanted to secretly see what her little sister's new life was like.

They arrived at the castle and Seto instructed some guards to take Jasmine's bags to a tower suite reserved for important guest.

Seto was showing her to her room when he spotted a maid. "Heather, I'd like you to meet Princess Jasmine of Kamilah."

"Greetings, princess." Heather said bowing.

"She will be staying here for a few days. I'd like you to be her personal maid during her stay."

"Thank you my king. Would you like me to use the new girl as well?"

Seto frowned, "New girl?"

"The one with the guard."

"Oh." Seto said finally clicking that she was referring to Asana.

"You have guards on your maids?" Jasmine asked.

"Oh, um well…her brother has been causing problems. The guard was only temporary, a precaution to be sure that she didn't allow him in." Seto said trying his best to cover and hope she wouldn't ask too many more questions.

"Oh, I see."

"So, please rest up. Heather will bring you your dinner and anything else you need."

"Thank you King Kaiba."

"Kaiba, will be fine."

"Kaiba, very well. Would you like to see the doll?"

"If you wouldn't mind."

Jasmine smiled. "No, not at all."

Once they got to the room Jasmine took a bag she was carrying and set it on the bed. Then she opened it and handed him a box.

"I hope you don't mind but I got her some presents of my own." Jasmine said.

"Of course not, she's your sister, you have every right to spoil her with gifts if you so chose."

"Thank you."

"No, I thank you. Good day to you too, my lady." Seto said with a bow.

"Good day to you too" Jasmine said with a bow of her head.

Seto left to allow her time to settle in.

After dinner Seto decided to show Yami what he got for Maura and the new things he got for Mokuba.

"Seto I thought we discussed getting more presents for Mokuba."

"I also told you I don't care. I want to spoil him as much as possible."

Yami just shook his head. He couldn't believe after their discussion over the fact that they'd already gotten more for Mokuba than they should have that Seto would go and get more. "So what is it you got Maura?"

"This." Seto said holding up a doll in a pretty pink dress. The dolls eyes were a blue-green.

"Seto this doll is porcelain, this thing must have cost a fortune. It looks old and valuable. Seto we can't afford anything this expensive."

"I never said I bought it."

"But if you didn't buy it, where did you get?"

"Well I was going to wait till tomorrow and let you find out when everyone else does but…"

"Does this have anything to do with the person you went into town to meet?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact it does."

"Now will you tell me who you met?"

"Maura's sister, Jasmine."

"Jasmine? What's she doing here?"

"I called and asked her if she could find something special that belonged to one of her parents that perhaps I could give to Maura as a Christmas gift. She told me she had the perfect thing in mind and would meet with me on Christmas Eve."

"Why didn't you invite her to stay here?"

"I did, she said she was traveling non-stop from her kingdom to get here. She just wanted to rest. She didn't want Maura to wear her out even more. I gave her one of the tower suites."

Yami smiled, "I can't wait till Maura see her. She'll be so happy."

"I'm looking forward to tomorrow too. It'll be our first real Christmas. Mokuba's first."

"Yes, and I still have a promise to keep. I've not had the chance to keep it just yet."

"What is that?"

"That, I'd teach him what hot chocolate is. I'm sure once he sees it he'll probably know it."

"I'm not so sure on that."

"Why, I mean I know they probably didn't give him any but he should at least remember seeing it."

"Maybe not, when we were at Ryo's, Mokuba told me that Noah's allergic to ice cream."

"Then if he's allergic to ice cream then they probably didn't have any then. But that just makes it better for us. To show him something new."

Seto smiled and nodded.

Meanwhile Mokuba went looking for Ryo, to see if he could help him with the statue he got.
