"I missed you! I thought that'd I'd never see you again Miya."
"It's okay Aaron. I'm right here."
"Hey kiddo."
"Seto!" he jumped from your arms to hug Seto.
"I think someone missed you too Seto."
Seto knelt down and hugged Aaron. You could see that Aaron reminded him of Mokuba, and with Mokuba gone, it helped to have Aaron back.
"Where's Mokuba?"
He asked looking up at you. He knew something was wrong when you didn't answer and covered your mouth with your hand.
"He's gone Aaron. He was kidnapped."
His eyes filled with tears and hung on to Seto for dear life.
"It's okay. We've got a plan to get him back. But I believe your sister had a surprise for you."
"Really?"
"Yeah, come on out to the limo with me."
You took his hand and led him out.
"Ahem."
The back door opened and Ryan stepped out.
"Hey Aaron!"
"RYAN!" He let go of your hand and ran to him. Ryan picked him up and spun him around before setting him back down on the ground.
"Man kid. You need to stop growing. You might end up growing taller than me. I can't have my kid brother doing that."
You smiled. It felt good to see them back together, but you still felt hollow. You considered Mokuba as part of your family, and since he wasn't there, it wasn't right.
You turned as you heard Seto's phone ring. You were hoping it was Pegasus, but it was Kaiba Corp.
"The duel disks are ready to be tested. Want to go do that?"
"Ryan, Aaron you don't mind, do you?"
"No." they answered in unison.
"I'd love to see you duel Miya. Last time I saw you, you were just beginning to learn."
"Ha, you'll be shocked then Ryan. Miya kicks ass!"
You rolled your eyes and just got back into the limo.
"You wanna know kick ass Aaron? Just wait till you see the duel disk I designed. And I think Mokuba designed you one too, I just haven't gotten to look at it."
"Mokuba designed one for me?"
"Yep. You're like his other brother Aaron."
"Same here!"
"Alright, let's get going."
Roland dropped you and the guys off at Kaiba Corp.
"You go ahead and take them to the tech room; I've got to go talk to someone really quick."
Seto handed you a badge with your name and photo on it. You got into the elevator and Mokuba took you to the 80th floor.
"Welcome Ms. Suro. I am Gerard. Tech Department assistant."
"It's nice to meet you Gerard. And it's Miya."
"Miya, alright. I'll show you, your prototypes."
He took you to a locked room; you swiped your card and walked in. Inside glass cases were your 4 prototypes.
"I must say Miya; your designs impressed our engineering team very much. They were simple to create yet are the most durable duel disk there is. Not to mention, the lightest and most user friendly."
"Thank you Gerard. Now, I'd like to test mine out please."
"Yes Ma'am." He took yours out of its glass case and handed it to you. He was right; you could barely tell that you were holding something. It only weighted about a pound.
"Wow Miya, that looks awesome!"
"It's got you on it."
"Really where?"
"You see that set of hieroglyphics right there? They spell out your name Aaron."
"Sweet!"
"Who else you got on there?"
"Mom and dad, you, Aaron, Mokuba and Seto."
"Awesome, we're all on there."
"Now here's yours Aaron."
You pulled out a dark green duel disk with gold colored metal. The green had a light red pattern over the top of it. On the deck chamber there was a Magician's staff with red fire blasts around it.
"Awesome! He based it off my favorite duel monster!"
"Which one would that be Aaron?"
"I bet Miya could tell ya Ryan, just by looking at the duel disk."
"Hm. I'm guessing it's Chaos Command Magician."
"Wow! You got it on your first guess."
"Spellcaster's eh? Taking after me I see."
"I am?"
"Yeah Aaron, that was always Ryan's choice of monsters."
"I bet I could beat you."
"I don't know about that kiddo."
"You guys wanna duel?"
"Come on Ryan duel me!"
"Fine."
You handed Ryan your duel disk and led them out to the dueling arena in the testing department.
"Gerard, turn the intensity down to its minimum. I don't want my brothers getting hurt down there."
"Yes Ma'am."
Aaron's POV
You drew your first card. It was Skilled White Magician.
"I summon Skilled White Magician (1700/1900) in attack mode! I lay a card face down and end my turn."
Ryan looked over his hand and pulled out a card.
"I summon Rapid Fire Magician (1600/1200) in attack mode and play Magic Book. This raises the power of my Magician by 500 points." (2100/1700)
"I play the trap card "Total Devastation." When an effect card is played I can choose one monster and destroy it. I choose your Rapid Fire Magician."
Ryan's face was blank.
"I end with a card face down."
You knew the card he laid down was probably a trap card.
"I play Pot of Greed."
You drew the two cards you needed.
"I play Magic's Calling. At the cost of 1000 life points I can summon Dark Magician from my hand."
DM: 2500/2100
"You have a Dark Magician?"
"Yep." Miya gave it to me."
"What else did you give that boy Miya?"
"I place a card face down and now Dark Magician attack his life points directly!"
"Mirror Force!"
"Trap Jam!"
Ryan: 1500 Aaron: 3000
"Your move Ryan."
Ryan's POV
You were getting your butt handed to you by your kid brother, who had probably just started dueling not too long ago. You had heard about Miya's many duel championships, and you guessed that he had been watching her duels and learning from her.
"I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior in defense mode and end."
Aaron started laughing.
"What is so funny Aaron?"
"I just won."
"How?"
"I play the magic card Knight's Title. I now sacrifice my Dark Magician to summon Dark Magician Knight (2500/2100)!"
"And how did you just win by summoning that?"
"Since he was summoned without problems, I can now pick a card and destroy it. Say good bye to your breaker."
You watched as your kid brother destroyed your last defense, and now you were open for a full blow attack from his Magician.
"Dark Magician Knight, attack him directly!"
Ryan: 0000
"Woohoo! I won!"
Your POV
You laughed at the expression on Ryan's face.
"What's so funny Miya?"
"Seto you just missed it. Aaron just wiped the floor with Ryan in like 4 turns."
"Wow. I guess him and Mokuba playing on the simulator really did work."
"And how did Dark Magician Knight and Knight's title get into his deck? Those are really rare cards."
"I gave them to him."
"Did you know that I gave him Dark Magician?"
"No, I didn't know you gave it to him."
"Well he just used both of our gifts to destroy Ryan. It was hilarious."
"I'll have to watch the recording later."
"Well mine and Aaron's work great. Now we just need to test yours and…Mokuba's." you said his name quietly.
"So what do we have to do to get Mokuba back?"
"Seto has to throw the tournament and loose to Nathen Pegasus."
"Are you going to let him win Seto?"
"I have to if we want Mokuba back. But luckily, Miya can duel circles around that wanna be. After I throw our match, Miya will challenge him and keep him from dueling Yugi."
"Awesome! Can I help?"
'I'm sure you can. We'll just have to find something for you to do." you said nudging Seto.
"Are we testing anymore today Miya?"
"Gerard, why are you calling her Miya?"
"It's okay Seto. I told him too. I think Ms. Suro is too formal for me. I would prefer to be called Miya, unless you object of course."
"You're department head, you're decision."
"Thanks Seto."
"And no Gerard, no more tests today. We've got other business to attend to."
He nodded and walked back into his office on the opposite side of the room.
"So, what now? Go back home?"
"Yeah, we probably should. I don't need the mutt running around my house unsupervised."
You rolled your eyes and giggled. You and the guys got back in the limo and went back to the Manor.
"Hey Seto, I have something to show you."
You looked at Aaron oddly. What did he have to show him?
You followed them into Mokuba and Aaron's bedroom.
"Mokuba found this in your old room and wanted to give it to you for you birthday. But since Miya got kidnapped and then him, he wasn't able to."
Aaron handed Seto a small box wrapped in blue and white paper and ribbon.
Seto opened the box and froze.
"Seto?"
You took the box from him and saw a hand made Duel Monsters card. It was a Blue Eyes White Dragon.
"Mokuba made that for me when Gorzoburo first adopted us and started making me study day and night without rest. That was when Mokuba and I weren't allowed to see each other, so he snuck me my cards and this one in a book.
"I'm sorry Seto, but I knew Mokuba wanted you to have it. Since it was way past your birthday, we were going to give it to you yesterday at your party."
"You guys were throwing a party?" he said looking over at you.
"Yeah, we've tried like 3 times. Lex got in the way of one. The power outage at Kaiba land ruined the one yesterday, and then Mokuba now."
He sighed and sat down on Mokuba's bed. You handed him the box and motioned for Aaron to leave the room. You followed and shut the door behind you.
"Is he alright?"
"He just misses Mokuba." you said with a deep sadness in your voice.
"Is this how you were when I was in the accident?"
"Oh I was worse. I couldn't stop crying. I thought I was going to ruin the carpet in my room."
Aaron smiled.
"You missed me that much?"
"Of course I did short-stuff. You're my baby brother, you're my life!" you said hugging him tightly.
"And trust me; I'd be just like Seto if anything like this happened to you. Nothing would stand in my way to get you back."
You and Aaron walked downstairs, and went outside where everyone was out swimming.
"Hey Aaron!" they all screamed when they saw him walk outside.
"Can I go swimming?"
"No sorry Aaron. With the injuries you've got, water would not be a good idea."
"Heh oh yeah. Casts and water, never a good mix."
You and Aaron sat on the patio furniture while the other fooled around in the pool. Every so often Joey would try and splash you and Tea would try and talk you into getting in.
"If you want someone to get in, go ask Ryan."
"Oh good idea. Ryan!"
"What?" he said coming outside.
"you should join us?"
"Why?"
"We're playing chicken."
"Don't you already have four?"
"No. Tristan won't play."
Ryan sighed.
"I'll be right back. I'll go change."
You laughed. All Tea had to do was ask, and he gave in. Either he was tired, or he kinda liked her. Both wouldn't shock you. But if he liked her, he'd have some competition from Yugi. In a duel, Yugi would win, but if it got physical, Yugi better run for the hills.
"Miya, you're phone's ringing."
You ran into the kitchen and answered.
"Hello?"
"Miya, can you come up here for a second?"
"Sure Seto. I'll be right there." you hung up and ran up the stairs. You first checked his room, and it was empty. You walked down to Mokuba and Aaron's rooms.
Seto was lying on Mokuba's bed staring at the ceiling.
"Seto are you alright?"
