Yami was lost in thought when Seto hit his arm.
"Ow what was that for?"
"It was to wake you from your daydream. In case you haven't noticed this isn't reality!"
Yami looked around and was shocked. There in front of them was himself just a few months earlier. Practicing in one of the studies.
"Why were you practicing making things fly in the house? It could be dangerous. How could you be sure it wouldn't pass through the walls?" Seto asked.
"They wouldn't. I wasn't trying to make them all fly, just levitate." Yami said. "Now let's see if I can get us out of here."
Seto thought that Yami said that a little too fast. It was almost as if he didn't want him to know something. "Yami, are we still in the dream world?"
Yami didn't answer, he almost looked like he was pretending he didn't hear him.
"Yami, I asked if this was the dream world?"
"I-I don't think so."
"Then where are we and what don't you want me to know?"
"I think…"
"Yes?"
"I think this is part of Mokuba's memories."
"Okay and when exactly did this happen?"
"The week you brought Mokuba home. The night after we went to the bazaar in town. After we'd wrapped up our paperwork for the day or rather when you got tired of doing it and said we weren't going to do it anymore that day."
"Oh yeah. Well we had worked for several hours."
"Yeah, well I had a book of spells and was practicing levitation and a couple of other minor things. Few people use that study so I didn't think I'd be disturbed.
"I see, well still you should have had a sign or something to warn them you were practicing in there."
Before Yami could respond there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Seto asked. "Is this what you didn't want me to see?"
Yami sighed. "Yeah, it was late so I figured it had to be Mai or Isis offering to get me something."
"Come in." Memory Yami called out.
Just then a book he was practicing with got out of hand and swished through Seto and Yami.
"Yami, that book went right through us!"
"It's because this isn't the dream world, it's only a memory."
"Why are we even here?"
"I guess it's because it's where my mind was focused. I was remembering the day I told Mokuba about magic. I guess when the Dark Magician tried to send us back my thoughts were still on that time and instead of home it brought us here."
"So, how do we get out of here?"
"I think once the memory's played out then we'll hopefully go back to reality."
Just then the door opened and the flying book flew towards the door and just as it opened the book nearly hit Mokuba who yelped as it passed just above his head.
Hearing the yelp everyone quickly turned around and Memory Yami and Seto gasped seeing Mokuba. Memory Yami ran to him fearing he'd hit him. He bent down next to him, "Are you okay, Mokuba? Did it hit you? I'm sorry I didn't realize." Memory Yami asked, checking the shaking boy over.
"I'm f-fine b-big b-brother."
Memory Yami just smiled and picked him up and carried him to the couch.
"I was so happy, I was still so surprised that the kid trusted me enough to call me that so soon." Yami said.
"What do you mean so soon?"
"Seto the kid was fearful of me for the longest. He even thought I hated him. When you suggested I ask him to call me big brother, I was scared."
"You scared?"
"Even I get scared sometimes Seto!"
"Sorry, you just always seem so strong."
Yami smiled, "I have to be. I have to be strong for you."
"So, how did you finally get the courage to ask him then?"
"When he gave me that dark magician necklace. He kissed me and hugged me afterwards. I took that as a good sign. Even though I was frightened he'd reject me, I asked him away. I only asked him to consider it, when he trusted me more. Well then he asked if he could leave calling me big brother. I was shocked."
Before Seto could ask anything they heard Memory Yami ask Mokuba, "Are you sure it didn't hit you?"
"I'm okay big brother." Mokuba said, snuggling closer to him.
"I realized then that I was going to have to be super careful from then on, if that had hit anyone, and they'd been hurt, not only would I be in trouble, but the servants would probably be afraid to come into any room I'm in."
"That's probably true. Besides you should have known better than to be practicing in the house or at least without stopping when someone knocked."
"I didn't mean for it to get out of control. I was practicing that one flying in circles and when the door knocked I forgot about it. I never expected it to fly across the room. If anything I figured it'd fall first. But I do know that I would have felt bad if one of the servants had been hit, but I would have felt ten times worse if that thing had hit Mokuba! Not to mention I'd never hear the end of it out of you. You'd never let me live it down! You'd probably forbid Mokuba to go near me."
"Yami you are his brother as much as I am. I would never forbid him to go near you. Besides that I wouldn't have to. He'd have done that all on his own. But if I had said anything it'd only have been to warn him to be more careful. So what exactly happened?"
"Well nothing much." Yami said.
Memory Yami hugged the boy tight. "Now why are you here?"
"I w-wanted to s-see you."
"Where's Ryo?"
"I asked him if he t-thought it'd b-be okay to talk to you. He said t-that you'd p-probably s-stop w-what ever you w-were doing and talk to me. He t-told me to come and h-he w-would finish unp-packing and making sure he had every t-thing he'd brought with him out of B-Bakura's room."
"I see, what did you want to talk about?"
"W-what did you d-do to that m-man?"
"What man kiddo?"
"At the r-restaurant."
"I realized that since I made Haga disappear from the restaurant Mokuba had been confused as to what I had done to him." Yami told Seto.
Memory Yami said, "Well it's called magic. I simply moved him from our location to somewhere else far away, so he wouldn't bother us for the rest of the day."
"I didn't exactly lie to him. I mean the goal was to send him to the castle dungeon, I was slightly happy that he did end up there rather than who knows where. I didn't want to explain to him what it means to be a drunken bum and why he deserved to be thrown in the dungeon."
Memory Yami asked, "So, what do you say to a story?"
"R-really?"
"Of course. But first I will show you a little magic." Memory Yami said and made a vine appear and used them to move all his books and put them up. Then brought one to him. Then vanished leaving golden lights in the room.
"It wouldn't normally leave lights like that in the room. It'd normally just vanish." Yami said.
"Then why did it, this time?" Seto asked.
Yami smiled, "I did it on purpose. I wanted to impress Mokuba. Look at him, he's thrilled. He never knew what magic was. He was thrilled to learn what it is."
Suddenly they felt funny and woke up with a start. They looked around and realized they were back in reality.
