Yami took Maura to the tower where her sisters were waiting.

"Okay go to the top of this tower and you'll find two rooms. There you'll find your present." Then he thought for a moment and snapped his fingers and a sack appeared. "I almost forgot this."

Maura took it and looked inside and was shocked to see the presents for her sisters there. Then Seto's words stuck. 'I'm sure they're anxious.'

"Now go ahead." Yami said pushing her up the stairs before turning and leaving.

Maura looked back and saw him leaving. She was scared and nervous as she started up the stairs. She was still trying to think who it could be. Who would want to see her? She had thought of her sisters. Especially with Yami giving her their presents. She couldn't believe they'd come. They live so far away, surely not. But a part of her hoped. It'd be nice to see them again. She finally decided to run upstairs and see if her hoping was real. She got to a closed door and knocked.

Suddenly it was opened and she was shocked to see her sister Jasmine standing there. She didn't say a word she just threw her arms around her crying.

Jasmine hugged back. Then pulled her up and said, "There's someone else to see you too." Then she turns and Maura was shocked to see Diana sitting on the bed. She ran and threw her arms around her neck.

Diana hugged back gladly. "Oh, we've missed you too, little sister. Now sit up I have something to show you."

Maura sat up and rubbed her eyes. She couldn't believe they were really here!

Diana stood up and pulled Maura close and then pulled back the cover to reveal a sleeping baby.

"Oh he's so cute." Maura said.

"You're an aunt now, Maura."

"What?"

"This is your nephew, his name is David."

"Wow, I never thought of being an aunt before. What am I suppose to do and why didn't you ever tell me before?"

Diana sat down and pulled Maura close and she started to explain things to her. She even decided to go into a few more details as she did with Jasmine. The three of them continued to talk and tell about their lives.

Meanwhile Ryo and Bakura had finished opening the presents their parents had brought home for them.

"Mom, how many times do I have to tell you that you don't have to get me a new cape every year. You always chose the fanciest ones and it gets old having to deal with peoples stares." Bakura said.

"But I think it looks cute on you. And you never care what people think anyway so why should it bother you now?" mom asked.

"Because now I am head of the knights. My image is important." Bakura said.

However he had failed to mention his promotion in any of his letters.

"What! You've been promoted! Oh, that's wonderful, Bakura!" Mom said hugging him.

"Mom, get off me!" Bakura yelled.

Of course his mother just ignored him. Finally she let up only to kiss him on the cheek. Causing Bakura's shoulder to go up and try to wipe it off.

Ryo couldn't help but try to hide his laugh.

Their mother turned to him. "So, how are things going since you returned from your vacation?"

Ryo frowned, "What vacation?"

"Bakura wrote and told us that you stayed with him for a few weeks after you graduated from Master Pegasus' academy. We were so proud to hear it was with honors too. He said that you decided on a small vacation to try to get more training in before settling down and working your way up to being a knight."

Ryo glared at Bakura realizing that when he and Mokuba left, that Bakura told everyone it was simply a vacation. Ryo actually had no intention of coming back to this town, except when their parents were home and he could get the time off. After Nosaka's death and everyone accusing him of beating on Mokuba he chose to return. If anything it was really to just see about returning Mokuba. He did love the kid and would have loved to have kept him. But he knew the kid really belonged with Seto and Yami. They could do more for him and would be able to do all that he couldn't. He had planned to stay for a month or two or until he was sure the kid would be welcomed and happy. Then he'd go to another kingdom and try to start again there and become a guard and eventually a knight there. He could have never predicted that someone inside the castle would try to kill Mokuba. Nor could he have guessed that that fight would finally prove to Bakura he wasn't a child anymore. He realizes it all worked out for the best. He would have been sad and lonely without Mokuba around. Even knowing he was where he belonged. Though he had a feeling he'd have never survived away from the kid. Knowing now that he even ran away and didn't come to him. Then just after Maura came, he felt pushed out. He couldn't help but wonder what would have happened to him if he hadn't been there.

"Ryo?" His mother asked knocking him out of his thoughts.

"Oh, sorry. It wasn't exactly a vacation, but it was fine."

"Oh, I see." His mother said, quickly getting the impression he wasn't going to go into more detail. "Well now it's time for you two to exchange presents."

Ryo and Bakura handed each other their presents.

Ryo opened one to find a hat with one flap tied to the top part. "What's wrong with my hat?"

"Nothing, but if you wish to be a true knight then you should at least start to look like one with an official hat. It's nothing real fancy but…"

Ryo shook his head. "No, I like it, a lot. Thank you."

Bakura opened his and found some weird looking stuff. "What is this?"

"Oh, Yugi was trying some new spells and gave me that to try. It's a special solution for your sword. When you sharpen it and polish it, Yugi says it will make it shinier and sharper and harder to break."

Bakura looked at it but wasn't really impressed but was willing to give it a shot. He opened the other and was surprised to find a new sheath for his sword.

"Your old one looked a lilt wore out. I thought you were due for a new one."

Bakura looked it over in fascination. He would never admit it out loud but he loved it. It was solid black with gold trim and golden strings going to the center of it.

Ryo opened his next one and was shocked at what he found, it was the same fancy bigger version change of heart necklace that Mokuba had once looked at but had been too expensive for him. "W-what? It-it looks like the one Mokuba gave me but this version is a lot fancier than the one I'm wearing."

Bakura shrugged, "I saw how much the necklaces seemed to mean to the two of you, so I thought since we're working on getting closer. I thought this would be a way to start."

Ryo smiled and held up the necklace to Bakura. "So, which do you chose? Light or Dark?"

"Dark."

"Mokuba did the same thing, why do I get light?"

"That's just the way it is. I guess the kid saw you as the light and he was darkness. Me, its only natural I'd be dark. Talk to the kid and switch with him. You be dark and let him be light. I can't see why he'd think he was darkness anyway."

"That is an interesting question."

"Who are you talking about?" Their dad asked.

Ryo smiled, "My little brother."

"Ryo, honey, you don't have a little brother." Their mother said.

"Yeah, he does." Bakura said.

"Well, I do want you to met him."

"That doesn't tell us who he is?" Their mother said.

Ryo figured he might as well start from the beginning.
