A/N: Sorry about the wait faithful readers and reviewers

GOMEN NE!

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh. Unfortunately….T.T0

With Mokuba and the others…

'Alright. Well, it started years ago…when we were still living in the orphanage. It had been about one year since our parents' death, and it was just around that time too. It was the start of winter, maybe about 1 or 2 weeks before the anniversary.'

'The anniversary, what anniversary?' Asked Joey.

'The anniversary of their parents' death, genius!' Tea whispered harshly to him.

'Oh…'

'Anyways…' continued Mokuba, 'It was about that time, when the strangest and yet, most awesome thing happened…'

'Wat happened?!' Joey asked eagerly

'Well we would all find out if you would just shut up and let him continue!' Said a completely pissed Bakura.

Joey simply growled in response and turned away.

'And you wonder why Kaiba always calls you a mutt…'retorted Bakura.

Joey was about to respond when Atem intervened, 'Would you two people just shut the hell up for Ra sake! We all want to know what's wrong with Kaiba, don't we!?!'

Everyone was silent.

'Good…Mokuba,' said Atem.

'Right! Well where was I…Oh yeah! So it was a day like all the others when we suddenly where all ushered out of the orphanage! Everyone was confused, especially Seto. When we were all outside, a big limo pulled up and out stepped a little girl. She was about Seto's age, maybe a year or two younger, with long spiky brown hair and big aquamarine eyes…'

'THIS GIRL LOOKED LIKE MANA!?!?!?!?!' Atem shouted.

'Yup! Just like your girlfriend, except with brown hair…and that's sort of the problem…'

'How is this girl's resemblance to Mana, a problem? Kaiba should be proud that he knew anyone as remotely gorgeous and perfect as Mana!'Atem replied confused.

'You'll understand when I'm done…'replied Mokuba, an air of mystery surrounding his voice.

'But…'Started Atem.

'No buts wait.'

Atem simply crossed his arms and pouted cutely. [A/N: CUTE!! n.n]

'As I was saying, she looked like Mana, and was dressed in a baby pink off the shoulder top with blue sleeves, a blue pleated mini skirt and baby pink leather boots that had blue butterflies on them. I remember because Seto took a picture of her the day we meet her and sketched a picture of her at least once, every time she visited us. He keeps the first one of the day we meet her on his nightstand. Anyway, she stepped out off the limo and was immediately handed a long white trench coat with curly pink designs and blue buttons, by the man in a suit that opened the door for her. She sighed and put it on. I noticed that she was walking towards us directly and pulled on the sleeve of Seto's shirt…'

Flashback

'Setwo,' 5 year old Mokuba asked, as he pulled on his older brother's sleeve, 'Who's dwat?'

'I don't know Mokie…she seems weird…'

'I twink she's pwetty!'

Seto's face burned red and he replied, 'I think so too Mokie…'

Seconds later, she was in front of Seto and Mokuba.

She squinted her beautiful, shimmering, aquamarine eyes and peered at them closely…

'Hummm….I think so,' she mumbled.

Seto blinked and Mokuba hid behind his brother.

'HI!' She said enthusiastically. 'My name's Naia. You must be Mokuba and Seto!' She continued just as excitedly while grinning brightly and flashing peace.

Seto was baffled to say the least. Mokuba however felt strangely at ease and immediately answered.

'Wy nwame's Mokuba!'

'Hi, Mokuba! That must be Seto!'

'Hi, Naia! Yup! That's my big bro!'

Seto stepped protectively in front of his brother.

'Who are you? How do you know our names? And more importantly, what do you want with Mokie and me!?!'Said Seto, cautious of the strange-but pretty, girl before him.

Naia looked at him strangely and bonked him on the head, 'Didn't I just tell you, silly? My name's Naia!'

He look at her intensely, rubbing the abused spot on his head.

'So! You still haven't answered my question! What-do-you-want-with-Me and Mokie!?!'

'Okay, okay, geez.' She said, casually cleaning her newly deafened ear with her pinky.

Suddenly voices where heard.

'Mistress!'

'Mistress!'

'Mistress!'

'Lady Naia!'

Naia simply sighed, 'Oh joy, the clones and their evil leader are here…' She muttered.

'Who are they?' asked Seto.

'I'll explain later. But for now, run!'Replied Naia.

All three ran to the back of the orphanage and hid behind the rose bushes.

Their four persuaders followed.

'Over here! They came this way!'

'No, I think they're in the building!'

'No! The play-ground!'

'Split-up and report back in five minutes! If you find them, call the others and we'll come running!'

A collective, 'Hai, Rose-sama!' was heard.

Soon the ghost was clear.

Once they were settled, and their breathing evened out, Seto spoke, 'Okay, talk, now.'

Naia sighed. 'It's not important who I am. You can simply call me a friend, 'k?' she smiled and flashed peace.

Mokuba was happy, and smiled. Seto was uneasy, and frowned.

'And why should we believe you? We don't even know why you're here.' Seto stated.

Naia rolled her eyes and asked, 'You guys really wanna know why I'm here?'

They both nodded. Naia sighed and sat cross-legged on the grass. 'Fine. I was in my white limo, bored, so I look outside the window. Just as was about to look away, I saw some big boys cornering you and your brother.'

Seto looked shocked at that statement. Mokuba looked scared and hid behind his brother.

Naia continued, 'I rolled down the glass and poked my head out of the to see what was going on and I saw the big boys beating you up! I wanted to help, but my nanny, Ms Rosie [A/N:That's my nanny's name! Eeeep!] pulled me back into the car and scolded me for putting my head out in the first place! I tried to tell her, but she wouldn't hear it!'

Tears where pricling at the corners of Naia's eyes.

'She just wouldn't listen! When I finally got her to listen, it was too late…we were already at the airport…'

The tears prickled down her cheeks silently down her cheeks…

'How could anyone be so mean…' her voice was barely a whisper.

Mokuba came from behind his brother and looked at her. She looked so sad! Carefully, he moved over to her and put his small hands on her face. She looked up.

'Dwon't cry Naia…Wou did wour bwest. And Seto says,' He put on a fake-yet cute, 'Seto voice,' 'Do wour bwest and be wourself! 'Cwause dats what cwounts.'

She smiled.

'Seto sounds really smart,'

Mokuba nodded with his eyes closed and arms crossed. 'He wis.'

She smiled even more.

After some silence, Seto spoke, 'But that still doesn't explain how you knew our names, or how you found us.'

Naia responded, 'When we were on the plane, Ms Rosie noticed I was sad, and when I told her that it was 'cause I couldn't help you, she just smiled and promised she would look for you guys and that she and I would visit us to see how you were when we got back!'

Seto nodded slowly. 'Okay…'

'I have a question.'

'What is it?' asked Seto and Mokuba at the same time. Although Mokuba's sounded like 'What wis it?'

Seto ruffled his brother's hair fondly while smiling that smile that was for Mokuba and Mokuba alone.

'Can I take a picture of you? 'She asked.

Seto and Mokuba exchanged looks of confusion and then looked at her in the same confusion.

'Come on, please!!!!!'She pleaded.

Set was still unsure, this was all so strange!

'Pleeeeassssse!!!!'

'I don't know…'

'Pleeeassse…'she pleaded again, this time using the puppy eyes of doom.

Seto caved.

'Oh, okay.'

'YAYYY!' she said excitedly. Quickly, she pulled out a blue camera with a pink lens and pink butterflies.

She cautiously stood up. They followed her.

She suddenly stopped by a tree and turned around, camera in hand.

'Now get ready…'

'What do you want us to do?' asked Seto.

'Humm…Anything!' She replied smiling, but in her bouncy-ness one of her earring fell out.

Mokuba noticed and went to pick it up. However, he tripped and fell. Immediately, he started to cry. Seto walked over and held him whilst he cried, whispering comforting words in his ears.

Mana took a picture. Seto and Mokuba didn't notice.

When Mokuba stopped crying, Seto took out a light blue rag from his pocket. Getting up, he went over to a near-by pipe and opened it on the rag. Coming back over, he softly warned Mokuba that it might hurt and gently cleaned the wound.

Mana took another picture. They still didn't notice.

When they were done, Seto stood and helped his brother.

Mana tossed Seto the camera.

'Take a photo of me!'

H e nodded and waited as she posed.

She flashed peace and grinned childishly.

Seto took the picture and she posed again.

-Winking with index finger on her jaw.

…And again…

-Arms crossed with side wards glance.

…And again…

-This time taking Seto with her. Hugging him with one arm and pinching his nose with the other, giving him a relatively pink profile. Mokuba took that one.

And, yet again…

-Both arms, one around each bother. She set the timer.

It clicked. She cheered.

Time seemed to fly-by as they took pictures. Even Seto made some silly ones!

One last one…

-A group photo with she and Seto sitting on the grass with their feet under them, Mokuba on her lap horizontally, his feet on Seto's lap. She had set the timer to 15 seconds.

15, 14, 13, 12…

'Places peoples!' She announced.

9, 8, 7…

She brushed a strand of stray hair from Mokuba's face.

5, 4, 3…

She smiled at Seto sweetly, and turned to the camera as he blushed.

FLASH!

But as soon as they had done that last one, their fun ended…

'PRINCESS!'

'LADY!'

'LADY!'

'LADY!'

It was them, her care-givers, they were here to end her fun and drive her friends away, again…

A plump and fairy aged woman stopped about three meters from them.

'Princess Naia Rachel Bethany Charles!'

Naia groaned. Seto and Mokuba exchanged confused looks.

'PRINCESS!?!' They asked in unison.

Naia simply nodded and grinned sheepishly. 'Yeah, gomen ne. I should have told you…'

'Get off that cold ground this instant!'

Naia complied.

'Now come to Ms Rosie…'

Naia obeyed.

'Why'd you run off? That was very, very naughty Lady Naia.' Ms Rosie gently scolded.

Naia bowed her head in shame. 'I'm sorry…'

Ms. Rosie smiled. 'Are you hurt dear?'

Naia shock her head. 'No…'

'Good, because you're in for such a scolding when we get home young lady!'

Naia groaned, again.

'Don't you groan at me! This is the consequences of your actions. Now get your camera off the ground and let's go.'

'Can I say good bye to my friends, first?' Asked Naia.

Ms. Rosie raised an eyebrow and pointed at Seto and Mokuba with a wrinkled finger. 'Who, those two?'

Naia nodded.

Ms Rosie sighed. 'Fine, but quickly.'

Naia nodded and walked over to Seto and Mokuba.

As she stood before them, she didn't even dear look at them. 'I'm so sorry, I should have told you from the start…'

'True…' Began Seto, 'But you're forgiven. Just don't lie to us again. Okay?'

Naia's face lit up when they accepted her apology. To show her gratitude, she glomped the now standing Seto, back into the dirt.

'THANK YOU, SETO-KUN!'

Seto blushed and set her on the ground. 'No problem, Naia.'

A gentle hand was placed on her shoulder. It was one of her care-givers, Marie.

'It's time to leave Lady Naia.'

Naia hugged Seto and Mokuba like they would disappear if she let them go. They held on just as tightly.

'Oh come on!' Said the aggravated Ms Rosie. 'You'll visit them next week!'

Naia, Seto and Mokuba's eyes widened at Ms Rosie's statement.

A collective, 'YAYYY!!!' was heard.

End Flashback.

--------

Under a tree in the park, Seto had just told Mana the same story.

She had taken to the skies after her spell back fired, and had seen him here, under a Sakura tree, miserable. She went down, and with a little probing, got the truth out of him.

'…As time pasted NAIA visited Mokuba and I. Of course, having our usually photo session every time.

All too soon we were separated. By whom you may ask. By Mokuba's and mine adopted father, Gozaburo Kaiba, of course!

He never let Naia visit, but we never forgot her, especially me. You see, I had fallen in love with Naia. However, even after the old dog died, and we were reunited, our time together was short lived.'

'Why?' asked Mana, tilting her head to the side curiously.

Seto smiled sadly. 'She looks and acts just like her…'

'Because she was of very fragile health. She had Tuberculosis. The last few months were painful and no one could visit her, because it's a highly contagious disease. She suffered for a year and a half, before she finally died, two years ago, today.'

'Oh…'

'So, imagine my surprise, when I see her clone in the Motou residence…and in a serious lip lock the 'pharaoh' no less.'

'I'm sorry…'

'It wasn't enough for her to reject me her last life, but this one too.' He muttered bitterly to himself.

'What?'

He sighed, 'Before she died, I risked infection to see her, just to confess my feelings to her…'

Mana motioned for him to continue.

'She rejected me.'

'Oh…'

After a moment of very uncomfortable silence, Mana got up.

'Well, it's getting late. We should head back.'

Seto nodded numbly. However, inside his head he wondered, 'If I could just brake she and the pharaoh up, she'd be all mine…and this time, I'd never let her go…'
