Yugi and Jonouchi looked at each other. Neither of them could believe that they had met someone that know Kaiba before he was, well Kaiba.

"Ok your turn" Eiko said standing up from the park bench,

"What?" Yugi and Jonouchi said at the same time.

"You guys said you would explain the whole 'other me thing' so spill" a bit forward, but Eiko had told her story and now it was their turn.

"Well, this might sound a bit weird…" Yugi said "but," he continued to explain the millennium items and how Yugi had had one possessed by an ancient spirit who turned out to be a pharaoh and how he had regained his memories and was now living in the afterlife like he was meant to. By the end of this Eiko was a bit worried for the sake of her newfound friends. "I know it's hard to believe," Yugi explained. But its true"

"Wow, that's all I have to say. Wow"

"You don't believe us do you?" Jououchi said. 'Great, now she thinks were crazy, that's all I need' he thought to himself.

"Well," Eiko said a bit hesitant, "I mean it sounds crazy and completely ridiculous…. But anyone who willing to say that they've been possessed by an ancient spirit must have a reason." She said simply. "So, I kind of believe you" she said finally.

"Works for me" Jonouchi said,

"Same here" Yugi said in agreement. Eiko looked at her watch,

"Man I should head home, I still have a lot of unpacking to do," she said standing up. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow Yugi."

"Oh, yah. See you then Eiko"

"Bye Yugi! I look forward to seeing you," she said walking away, "you better tell me more about duel monsters tomorrow." She waved towards the boys,

"I wont forget!" Yugi said waving back.

Seto sat at his desk hands folded. A girl named Eiko with gold eyes and brown hair. What were the possibilities that it was that Eiko? The one who had played chess with and talked about his dreams with. He thought back to earlier that day, the faces looked the same; the younger one was just a bit more baby faced but that was to be expected. She had cut her hair to. She had traded in her long hair for a shorter look one that only extended to her chin. But probably the biggest change was the fact that she wasn't a small girl, she was more of a… well a woman. Seto found it strange to call an old childhood friend a woman.

"Seto" it was Mokuba

"What is it Mokuba?" Seto asked. It wasn't uncommon for Mokuba in be in his office, but it was obvious that he had something on his mind.

"It was she wasn't it."

"Who was she?" Seto said trying to sound like he didn't know what he was talking about.

"You know the girl in the park, it was sis- I mean Eiko" Mokuba stopped himself from saying 'sister' like he use to. Eiko wasn't like a sister to him; in his mind she was his sister.

"It looks like it…" Seto said glumly. Mokuba wasn't sure why he was so unhappy. Mokuba wanted to run and find her as soon as possible; it was obvious that she remembered him. But Seto wasn't so happy with the idea that Eiko had found them. 'I've tried my whole life to forget about her and that damn place' Seto thought to himself, 'and now.' His fist clenched, he hit the intercom button, "Izawa (Roland)"

"Yes Mr. Kaiba"

" I kneed you to get some information on a Eiko Tsubaki" he explained, "leave no stone unturned"

"Yes sir I'll get my best men on it right away" Izawa replied, the intercom clicked off. 'I don't know why you're here Eiko, but I'm going to find out why.'

"A girl who just yesterday didn't know what duel monsters was, and she turns out to be an old friend of rich boy. Who would of thought?" Jonouchi said to Yugi as they walked back to the shop.

"I've got to admit, it's pretty strange that we meet some one who knew him. I mean all we really know about Kaiba is that he was adopted by Gosaburo and then took over the company." Yugi said,

"And that he's a jerk" Jonouchi interrupted.

"She's really the only other person other than Mokuba that knows him," Yugi continued ignoring Jonouchi's comment. "We could really learn a lot from her."

"Like his weak points in a fight!" Jonouchi said eagerly. Yugi stopped to look at his friend, "what? I might not be able to beat him in a duel, but I could always kick his ass."

"Thats ot what I meant Jonouchi"

"Mr. Kaiba I've gather all the information I could find on Eiko Tsubaki" Izawa said. It was nighttime; Seto had been waiting all day for this information.

"What did you find?" he said looking over the Domino skylight.

"She was recently accepted to Domino Ivy, she will be attending there in the fall."

"Domino Ivy?" it was one of the more pristine colleges in Japan. Seto didn't know if Eiko had gotten in purely by grades or if her gymnastics had helped. It was also possible that both played a part in slowly ripping apart his life.

"So she wont be leaving Domino anytime soon?"

"It doesn't look that way sir." 'Crap.' Seto thought

"If you get anymore information I would like to be informed." Seto said still looking out the window

"I will sir." Izawa said and then left the room. As Izawa shut the door behind him he noticed master Moukuba standing out side.

"Hay Izawa," Mokuba said looking at him, "when you looked up the info on Eiko Tsubaki, you didn't happen to run by her residence did you?"

"Um," Izawa said, he had found it strange that master Kaiba had asked him to look up information on a girl who wasn't even a duelist or part of powerful family. The girl wasn't very special; she was the youngest of three had been born in a nearby city only to move to a cow town far away. She took place in gymnastics and graduated top of her class in high school. She was 5'10, 110 pounds, born on January 24, and her blood type was O negative. "Yes sir, I did find miss Tsubakis residence." Izawa finally said.

"May I see?" Mokuba said extending his hand for the file. Izawa didn't see the harm in it. It's not like master Seto had said, 'don't tell anyone about this', or, 'this is top secret.' He handed Mokuba the file

The next day, Eiko opened the door to the apartment building, it was her lunch brake and she had decided to spend it at her apartment. It wasn't far, just a couple of blocs. Actually the location of her apartment was very convent, a few blocs from school, and a few from work. She started to walk up the stairs to her second floor apartment, she thought about her day. Got up, ate breakfast, relised that she was late for her first day of work and spirited to the game shop. Luckily Mr. Mutou was very understanding,

"I'm just happy to have someone help out around here," he had said smiling. To this Yugi had rolled his eyes and said that he could of just helped out, but Mr. Mutou then stated ranting about how he should focus on dueling and school and conversation was dropped. Not many people visited the game shop, mostly duelist, but Eiko didn't mind because that gave her time to learn more about duel monsters. Although the more she learned about it the more it got confusing.

"So some traps are permanent and some are not?" she had asked earlier in the day.

"Yup," he had replied,

"How do you know?"

"Either you've seen with that card before, it doesn't go away after its played, or your opponent laughs at you." Eiko gave him a strange look, but he brushed that aside and said, "magic cards are the same way."

As Eiko walked down the narrow hallway to her apartment she noticed a small figure standing by her door. As she got closer she saw that the figure had long black hair, blue eyes, a yellow vest-

"Mokuba?"

"Hay Eiko!" he said looking at her happily,

"What are you doing here?" she asked confused

"I came to see you." He said with a playful grin, 'if Seto finds out he'll kill me, but it's worth it.' He thought to himself.

"Um, come on in! Sorry it's a bit messy.

She wasn't lying, the small apartment had stacks of boxes that almost reached the ceiling, and there was barley any room to walk.

"Wow, small place." Mokuba said in aw, he was so use to the huge mansion that he had almost forgotten what it was like to live in a small room.

"You mean cheep place, between food, books, cloths, I don't have much. Luckily this place is only 9,150 yen a month so I'm pretty good" Eiko said putting her hands oh her hips and looking up at the piles of boxes.

"Your parents don't send you money?" Mokuba asked a bit surprised,

"A bit, 18,300 yen every two or so months. But you know," she said voice getting low, "I want to be my own person, I don't want to kneed help from them. I mean I've flown from the nest; I'm living on my own. I want to provided for myself." Moukuba looked up at her. She hardly seemed like the kid he knew so long ago. She was more like, an adult.

"Well then," she said bringing her hands together, "how about some lunch?"

Eiko made Yakitori, grilled chicken with barbecue sauce, for her and Mokuba.

"How did you make this without a grill?"

"Secret," she said smiling, putting her finger to her lips. "So, how did you get here?" Eiko asked.

"Driver" Mokuba explained taking a bite,

"Ah, of course." Eiko said a bit uncomfortable,

"It's a bit weird isn't it?" Mokuba said, "Last time I saw you I was just a little kid, with barley a penny to my name." Mokuba said looking down, "now my big brother, the only person I had, is one of the most powerful people in the world." He said his voice fading. Mokuba looked up, Eiko had a look of shock on her face. "Oh sorry, to heavy?"

"What," Eiko said snapping out of the daze, "n-no it's not that!" she stammer, "its just, I mean last time I saw you, you were just a kid. And what you just said its just so maturer. I guess I still think of you as a kid" She admitted with a shy smirk. Mokuba laughed,

"I guess your right," he said smiling, "it's been what eight years? I guess we have a lot of caching up to do." Eiko smiled,

"Yah I guess we do" they spent the rest of the meal talking about what had happened those eight years, Eiko talked her high school and middle school years. Mokuba talked about Seto and how he had changed the business from military, to a gaming company. "So instead of making tanks,"

"Seto changed it to make games! Cool right?" Mokuba said enthusiastically. Eiko smiled,

"Yah, its really cool," 'its more than that,' Eiko thought, 'its sweet.'

"We need to do this again," Mokuba said, him and Eiko were now outside her apartment building,

"Yah, we defiantly, ah!" Eiko looked at her watch,

"What?" Mokuba asked taken back,

"I'm going to be so late to work-" Eiko started to run towards the game shop,

"Wait!" Mokuba yelled, he then whistled like he was calling a taxi. A long black car roared up to the curb of the sidewalk. "Have you ever been in a limo?" Mokuba asked Eiko,

"No," she said staring at the car, Mokuba smiled

"Then hop in!"

Jonouchi, Honda (Tristan), and Anzu (Tea) stood outside the shop,

"You guys are goanna love her she's great!" Jonouchi told his friends,

"She hot?' Honda asked, Anzu hit his arm,

"Well," Jonouchi said. Suddenly a black car roared up to the shop, the door opened.

"Thanks Mokuba!" Eiko said stepping out of the car,

"No problem Eiko, anytime!" Eiko shut the door and the car drove off. Eiko turned around to see Jonouch, Honda and Anzu with their mouths gapping open.

"What?"

Mokuba stepped out of the car; he looked up at the Kaiba crop building. 'I wonder why Seto wanted to talk to me?' Mokuba thought. He entered the building and went up the elevator, 'he wouldn't be mad if her found out that I went to see Eiko would he?' Moukuba thought as the elevator ascended. The elevator reached the top floor, Moukuba walked towards his brother's office.

"Master Mokuba," a voice whispered, Mokuba turned towards the voice. He saw Izawa standing behind him, "I just want to warn you, Mr. Kaiba isn't in a very good mood." 'Crap' Mokuba thought, 'this isn't good'

"Thanks Izawa, I'll handle this" he continued to walk towards his brother's office. He opened the door to the office "Seto?"

"You went to go see her didn't you Mokuba?" Seto said sitting at his desk. He said it emotionlessly as if he already knew the answer,

"I don't see what the big deal is," Mokuba said crossing his arms. Seto didn't reply, instead he pressed the intercom button,

"Izawa,"

"Yes Mr. Kaiba?" Izawa answered,

"I want you to bring me Eiko Tsubaki, immediately"

"What?" Mokuba said shocked,

"Mr. Kaiba, a-are you-"

"Yes I'm sure," Seto said cutting off Izawa, "she's at the Kame game shop. Bring her to me as soon as possible."

"Y-yes Mr. Kaiba." Seto looked at Mokuba, he pressed the intercom button again, "also bring a car for Mokuba."

"Seto you cant do this!" Mokuba yelled at his brother,

"This doesn't concern you Mokuba,"

"You can't do this to sister!" Mokuba continued. Seto shot him a look,

"Mokuba," Seto said his teeth clenched, "she's not your sister! She's just a girl!" Mokuba looked down, his fists tightened.

"She's not a kid anymore Seto, and neither am I!" he stormed out of the office. The office was quiet, 'I'm sorry Mokuba, but I need to speak to her.'
