Yami looked around and realized he'd dozed off. He panicked when he looked around and didn't see the kid anywhere. Then he noticed that Anzu was back on her shelf. So, he got up and ran outside, wishing now he'd fixed it so that the kid couldn't have gotten out of the cave. He couldn't believe he ran off like that. He ran back towards the house and saw the kid calmly hanging laundry.

He ran over, got down on his knees and turned the kid around, "Why did you do that? Why did you run off?"

Mokuba cocked his head and said, "B-but I have w-work to do. I'll g-get into t-trouble if I don't do this."

"What about the shadow creatures and the other monsters?"

"T-they don't show up till after d-dinner. T-they're gone by m-morning. E-every t-things okay now."

Yami shook his head and picked the kid up.

"W-what are d-doing? I'm going to g-get into trouble!"

"No, you won't. I promised I wouldn't let anyone hurt you and I plan to keep that promise! Besides you don't listen to well. I told you I was going to take you home with me and find a way to keep you permanently safe!" 'How I plan to do that, at the moment, I don't have a clue. Maybe once I get Seto here he can help me think of a plan.' "Come on, let's go back to the cave. We need to talk and I need your help to bring help in."

"H-how do I do that?"

"That's an interesting question. I'm not sure yet."

They got back to the cave and Yami touched the side to prevent the boy from leaving without his permission. Yami set the boy down and got down on his knees in front of him.

"Okay, well the only way I see this is to help you. I can only assume my ability of having visions was a factor in how I ended up here. I'm not even sure if we can bring Seto here. But I want to try. Will you help me bring help here?"

Mokuba nodded.

"I need your complete trust."

Again the boy nodded.

Yami could only hope that was an affirmative answer. "Okay now I want you to close your eyes and relax. Now I know this will sound strange but just feel. You should feel strong arms around you."

The boy closed his eyes and concentrated. Suddenly his eyes snapped open with a gasp.

"Are you all right?"

"I f-felt s-something and s-saw a f-face. B-but I've n-never seen this person before."

Yami smiled, that was at least a good sign. If the boy saw Seto maybe that meant he could bring him here. "Okay, now concentrate hard on that face. Think of bringing him here." Then he placed his hand on the boy's cheek and concentrated as well.

Suddenly Seto appears lying on the ground.

Yami and Mokuba look up and walk over to him. Seto's eye shot open trying to figure out what happened.

Mokuba leaned over to Yami and said, "He has pretty b-blue eyes."

Yami smiled but was also a little saddened.

"W-what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just wish my little brother was as open about what he thinks like that as you do."

Seto focused hearing voices and noticed Yami. "Yami what's going on? What's happening? Where am I?"

"He d-doesn't know?" Mokuba asked.

Seto looked to the familiar voice and his eyes went wide. "M-Mokuba?"

Mokuba cocked his head, ever since meeting Yami he'd become more confused. "H-how d-do you know that name?" then he looked at Yami, "H-how d-does he k-know the n-name you gave me?"

Seto sat up, "What is going on Yami? Why does Mokuba…"

Seto didn't finish as Yami put his hand over his mouth.

Yami looked at Mokuba. "You said it was safe to go out." He put his hand on the boys shoulder to allow him to temporarily leave the cave. "Why not go see what you can find to eat."

"Okay." Mokuba said, getting up and leaving.

"Yami, what is going on here and why does Mokuba look like a little kid?" Seto asked.

"Actually I'm not to sure myself. But the best I can figure out is this is Mokuba's dream world."

"Dream world? Then why doesn't he know us and why is he just a little kid?"

"I wish I knew the answer to that one, but I don't. I assume he's only 6 or 7. He's so bright and shinny and not scared of everything, well except the monsters and shadows of this world."

"Then after New Years talk to Dartz about seeing if you can change our history."

"I understand why you want to do that Seto. But think about it. Do you really want to lose the precious little kid we've been raising?"

"Yami, you think about it. You said it yourself. This one is a happy go lucky kid. No worries about Noah or anyone else coming back to hurt him. Not hurt enough to go through the hell of treatments he has to go through everyday. Not knowing the true meaning of being nearly starved to death. Not being afraid to say what he thinks and feels. Not being afraid to say what he wants."

"What about us? What about the lessons we learned from him? Even changing how would that give us our lesson? If he always knew us and knew our love he'd never feel rejected enough to run away and we'd never have learned how much he truly means to us or that the three of us are related by blood."

"Okay, so we'll have to find another way to learn our lessons. Did you get a good look at that kid? Isn't it worth it?"

"And what of Maura? How do I know she'll still be safe if we change?"

"Do I look like I care?"

"Seto!"

"No. If she is truly meant to live with us, then changing history won't matter."

Yami sighed, knowing there was no talking Seto out of this now. But he was about to try when they heard screams.
