A/N: Sorry about the story being in such a long paragraph in 203. I guess I wasn't thinking when I did it. I went back and reedited 203 as well as the story in this one. I made it into easier to read paragraphs.

Yami was practicing in the family room. He for some reason couldn't sleep. He created shadows to attack him and he'd block it with an invisible shield.

Mokuba couldn't understand why he couldn't sleep but for some reason he couldn't. He decided that maybe if he slept with Seto then he could get back to sleep. Once in the hallway he saw something moving in the family room. He shook his head. It was just a stupid story. There's no such thing as a mysterious ghost leaving gifts and things. But his curiosity got the best of him and went to check it out. He saw a bunch of shadows swirling around near Yami and saw one charge towards him. He gasped and ran towards him and threw his arms around his waist. Yami was stunned by this, not expecting anyone to be up. He couldn't stop the attacking shadow, so he quickly covered Mokuba with the shield. Once the attacking shadow hit the shield and dispersed he waved his arm and banished the shadows.

"What are doing up kiddo? Its late."

Mokuba only nuzzled his head into Yami that much more.

Yami sighed and moved them over to the couch and then gently pulled the little boy away enough to sit down, then pick him up and set in his lap. Mokuba smiled and snuggled closer.

"Now why are you up?"

"I c-couldn't sleep."

"I know you didn't like the story, but you could have just told me that kiddo."

"B-but I d-didn't want to ups-set you into n-not reading to me anymore."

"Oh no, sweetheart. Just because you don't like a story doesn't mean I'll stop reading to you!" Yami said hugging him. "I'll still read to you anytime you want."

"Y-Yami are t-there such things as ghost?"

Yami smiled, "No, kiddo there's not." Yami sighed. 'It figures of all the things to frighten him its that.' "Besides the ghost what didn't you like about the story?"

"T-the first half r-reminded m-me of my old life. T-then I d-don't think a b-beggar could ever be that nice."

"Why do you think that?"

"T-the one I m-met t-tried to s-steal half the house and h-hurt Asana."

"How did he hurt her and why was there even a beggar there?"

"I d-don't know, I w-wasn't there. I heard Noah and Asana telling my stepmother. She was saying he wanted her to be his bride. What's a bride?"

"Well when two people are deeply in love. They want to bind that bond by getting married. The woman is the bride the man is the groom. Now answer my other question. Why was there a beggar even there?"

"H-he came around begging my stepmother for work. S-she was reluctant at f-first, but t-then she d-decided he c-could do several things that I was too little to do. After what he tried to do my stepmother had him thrown out."

"I see. Well let's get you back to bed."

"W-will you tell me your version of Santa Claus again?"

Yami blinked in surprise. "You liked my version?"

Mokuba nodded.

"Then now, I suppose you're going to ask to sleep with me."

Mokuba looked up surprised, "C-can I?"

Yami kissed his forehead. "Go get your baby dragon, since you forgot him. I'm going to do a little clean up in here and I'll meet you in my room, all right?"

"Okay big brother!" Mokuba got up and ran to get his baby dragon that was still in his bed and ran and jumped into Yami's bed.

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

Yami had made a slight mess with all his practicing and cleaned that up and then put out the presents marked from Santa to Mokuba and Maura. Then went to his room and found Mokuba sitting up with his baby dragon waiting for him.

Yami still couldn't believe it was Christmas already and that they had their little brother with them! "Okay, kid. Let me get ready for bed then I'll tell you a story."

After getting ready for bed Yami climbed in next to Mokuba. Yami was about to reach up and turn out the light when Mokuba said, "B-but I t-thought you s-said you'd tell me a s-story."

"I keep my promises kiddo. But we don't need the light on for me to tell it." So he turned out the light and scrunched down halfway and pulled Mokuba close. Mokuba snuggled closer. "Okay, now are you sure my Santa Claus version is the story you want to hear?"

"Yes, big brother, p-please."

"All right, I'll give just a shorten version since its so late and little boys need to be asleep."

Mokuba giggled and cuddled closer. Yami wrapped his arms around him.

"Well long ago a young angel found a faerie holding a tiny baby. She said that the baby's father was Neptune, the king of the sea. But that his birth was very difficult for her and she wasn't sure how much longer she could last. The other faeries hated her for having such an affair. She never understood why they didn't after all Neptune wasn't married. But none the less both she and her child were thrown out of the faerie kingdom. So she begged the angel to care for her child and give her a blessing into heaven. The angel did more than just a blessing she took the woman and child to heaven. The woman was extremely sad that she could not raise her child but the angel promised to find it a happy home.

That's what she did. She found him a very loving caring home. He grew up with everything a child could ever want or need. It didn't take him long to discover his powers. His family was understanding and thrilled that their child was so special. They kept his powers secret for fear others would not be as understanding. A terrible disease swept through the land and took the boy's father and some say that years later his mother died, of a broken heart.

After the boy's parents died he set out to find his place in the world. He soon ran into the same angel that gave him to his family and learn of his real family. He was grateful to the angel and told her of the hardships of some of the children he met on his journey. She told him that perhaps he should talk to some gnomes and troll and elves that live high up in the north poll. He did that. Soon they started talking and before long with a little bit of magic and luck they made enough toys for the poor children of the world. The elves and reindeer were already friends so it didn't take much to convince them to help. Before long they were using magic to see all good and bad children, and judging who was and wasn't worthy, who was good and who was bad. And its said to this day that he continues with this mission to make children happy." Yami looked down and wasn't sure if the boy was awake or asleep.

"I-is t-that t-the e-end big b-brother?" Mokuba asked with a yawn.

Yami knew so much stuttering meant he was really tired, "Yes, it is. Now go to sleep." He gently started to rock the boy till he was sure he was asleep. Then went to sleep himself.

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

That night Yami thought of all nights especially with Mokuba snuggled against him he'd have nice wonderful dreams of what the next day would be like. How wrong he was.

Yami stretched and smiled feeling someone snuggled against him. He looked down expecting to see little Mokuba. What he saw was a young woman instead. He freaked and backed away. "Who-who are you?"

The young woman chuckled. "Come now Yami, I know we've only been engaged for six-months. But you can't tell me you forgot who I am already."

"N-no I don't know you."

"This isn't funny Yami, it me, its Tess."

"I'm sorry, I don't know you."

"This is revenge for telling you I think Mokuba and Maura are fooling around isn't it?"

"W-what?" Yami asked stunned.

"I think they are now, in tower c. you keep yelling at me I'm wrong because their siblings. Well look at reality Yami. They are not siblings! They are just two teenage kids!"

"I don't believe that!"

"You keep telling yourself that when Maura turns up pregnant. But what other explanation do you have for their staying in that tower so much lately?"

Yami didn't have an answer but was determined to find out! He left her and went upstairs and found Mokuba alone in the tower. Yami swallowed afraid that what Tess said was true. He found Mokuba, much like his other visions at 15. "M-Mokuba."

Mokuba looked up and ran over and hugged him, which made him extremely happy after all the other visions at this age where he either didn't know him or hated him. He gladly hugged him back. Then he remembered why he was here and pulled the boy up. "Mokuba, um…"

"What's wrong Yami?"

"This woman she told me she was my fiancé and that you and Maura were…" Yami couldn't bring himself to say the words.

Mokuba glared at him. "Yami, why do you continually listen to her? She's only sucking up to y-you. I k-know you love her and I t-think she loves you. Maura's not so sure."

"Yeah, well Tess, said you and Maura were up here…"

"She knows?"

Yami gasped and grabbed the boys shoulders, "Mokuba please tell me that you and Maura aren't…"

"Aren't w-what big brother?"

"Having…sex…" Yami finally said in a low voice.

Mokuba on the other hand was shocked. "Is that was she's saying about us?"

Yami simply nodded and looked up at him, "Mokuba, why?"

"Why what?" Mokuba asked confused then gasped. "You believe her! You'd b-believe her over m-me! Yami how could you!"

Mokuba tried to leave but Yami grabbed his arm. "Then tell me your side."

Mokuba walked over and grabbed a blanket and showed him a picture of what looked like a blue eyes white dragon with cotton balls and other things to make the picture stand out.

Yami frowned. "What is that?"

"This is what Maura and I are doing. Have you forg-gotten that Seto's b-birthday is in a few weeks? Maura and I wanted to make him something special from the both of us."

Yami smiled he was so happy, "So, you and Maura aren't…"

Mokuba glared at him then with a disgusted look on his face said, "Look big b-brother. I may have dated several girls but I have never done that with anyone. Why would you think I'd do something like that with Maura?"

"Well Tess…"

"Yeah, well I don't think Tess much likes me. She really thinks I'd do that with Maura?"

"Well she had a point I mean technically she's not really your sister."

"That's not true! I would never touch Maura like that. I love her, she my big sister! I don't care what anyone says she is my sister. You always told me that! Blood or not, you once were willing to accept me even before you knew we were blood related. You always told us that it doesn't matter if we're related by blood, all that matters is how we feel! I would never lay a hand on Maura and would protect and defend her, as much as she protected and defended me when I was younger." Mokuba said leaving.

Yami was surprised. So different from the little boy he knew. This one is so strong so passionate in his beliefs. So willing to stand up to for what he believes.

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

Yami woke with a start shaking his head and looked down to see little Mokuba still cuddled up on his chest. He pulled the boy tight. He shivered not understanding what's happening. Now he was sure someone was screwing around with his vision. The only question is who and why?
