Soon they were in the castle. Though instead of the living room or hallway they entered Mokuba's playroom.
"Why are we in his playroom?" Seto asked.
"Beats me. I guess this a location Mokuba feels safe in. Even though he's given us control of where to go it's still his dream. I guess once we entered the castle we instantly went to a location he felt safe in. Which makes me wonder if my plan to expand this room, is such a good idea after all."
"What plan might that be? You said you wanted to expand it two rooms, it shouldn't be that bad."
"No, but I wanted to make it even bigger."
"How much bigger?"
"Well I know I said two rooms, but that side of the wing had 8 rooms. We fixed up the playroom so that it was two rooms, I was thinking that we could just take out the rest of the wing on both sides."
Seto blinked, "Why and why both sides?"
"Well think about it Seto. How long can the kids really play outside right now?"
"What? What does that have to do with anything?"
"Well I was thinking that with all this snow now and then in the summer it'll be supper hot, they wont get to play outside much. I was thinking about taking out the section across from the playroom and make it into one big playground."
Seto glared at him, "Next I suppose you'll want to make it into a magic play land. Where it looks like their outside but its all a magic world."
Yami's eyes lit up at the suggestion. "I was only thinking of a swing set and maybe a couple of other things, but I like your idea better, I never thought of it."
Seto rolled his eyes. "Give me a break, I don't know if that's such a good idea."
"Ah, come on Seto. It'd be perfect!" Yami said. Then another thought struck him and walked over and put his arms around him and said, "Think of it like this Seto. They'll be inside the castle, and in one sense of the word they'd be outside rain or shine. Plus if Noah, any killers or any of the big five left were to show up to try to hurt him, they wont be able to get to him cause he'd be inside the safety of the castle. You also wouldn't have to worry about him leaving the maze and wondering off. The guards wouldn't have to be up under them. They'd be or at least feel free. I think they'd love it."
The more Seto thought on that that the more he had to admit it wasn't a bad idea after all. Mokuba would still get to run and play but this way he'd be truly safe from harm. As long as he played in there he'd never have to worry about him being in danger. And if Yami made the world big enough his friends could even come over and they'd be able to all play and there wouldn't be any worries.
"Well Seto?"
"All right. You can create your universe. If you're sure you can do it and not hurt yourself. You're looking a little ragged now."
"I'll make a special trip out to Master Dartz's place and talk to him and see if he can help me. I don't suppose you've changed your mind about changing Mokuba's past, have you?"
"No."
"Seto, at least think about it. I understand your point of view but I don't know if I can just change our past."
"Are you still harping on your little girl?"
"This isn't just about Maura. This is about us and about Mokuba!"
Just then the little boy stirred waking up due to the fighting. "W-what's going on?"
Seto set the little boy down and Yami got on his knees next to him.
"I'm sorry. We didn't mean to wake you." Yami said.
Then Mokuba noticed his necklace. He held it up, "W-who's that?"
Yami smiled, "That's the Dark Magician." Suddenly an idea on how to keep the little boy permanently safe hit. "Listen to me carefully Mokuba. I want you to hold my necklace tight in your hand and concentrate hard."
Mokuba thought it was strange but did as he was told. Yami placed his hands on top of Mokuba's and concentrated. Soon their hands and the necklace glowed.
"ZERLINA" Yami whispered.
Suddenly Mokuba gasped and opened his hand. "T-the necklace it's gone."
"What?" Seto asked looking and was surprised as Yami was.
Then a bright light blinded them. When they opened their eyes there stood the dark magician.
Mokuba yelped and hid behind Yami. Yami stood up was greatly surprised.
"Yami how did you do that?"
"I'm not entirely sure."
