Seto looked over at Yami and asked, "Are you sure that will end his nightmares?"
"Well I can't say for a fact. But I'm pretty sure."
"Mokuba, come on kiddo. Time to get up." Seto said gently, waking the boy.
Mokuba sat up rubbing his eyes.
"Did you have a nice nap?" Yami asked.
Mokuba smiled and nodded his head. Then he leaned over and gave Yami a hug.
Yami smiled and hugged back. "Okay, kid." Yami said, patting his back, "Why don't you get up and go get you another present to open."
Mokuba smiled and got up and went over and picked out a present and unwrapped it. He stared at it and was confused. He then pushed it closer to Seto and Yami. "W-what is it?"
Seto and Yami looked at it. Seto didn't know why he was surprised the boy didn't know what it was but he was. "It's a train."
Mokuba was surprised, 'So, this is what the test Kisara gave me meant. It kept saying when the train left the station but I didn't understand the question. Mostly because I didn't know what a train was.' "C-can we p-put it together?"
Seto and Yami set up the train and smiled as Mokuba watched the train in fascination.
"Yami, I've been thinking…"
"Forget it."
"What? Why? You don't even know what I was going to ask."
"It doesn't matter." Yami sighed, "Nothing matters anymore."
"What's wrong with you?"
"We can't make any future plans. We might as well cancel the renovation of the playroom."
Seto frowned, "Why and why can't we make plans?"
"Simple, you want to change Mokuba's past. By changing the past means we can't make any future plans."
Seto sighed. "I never said we couldn't do anything before then. But fine you win. I won't argue about changing Mokuba's past again, till you decide it's a good idea."
Yami couldn't believe what he'd just heard. Seto was going to just let it go! "Well what was your idea?"
"I was thinking we could take a family vacation to Leyna. It's got the best lighthouse. The beach looked cool last time I was there."
Yami looked at him strangely. "When did you go to the beach?"
"I never said I went to the beach. I said the beach looked cool. The lighthouse was nice."
"That doesn't answer the question."
"Father went to Leyna, to see about a peace treaty. Plus mother was begging him for a vacation anyway. She insisted on seeing the lighthouse. She wanted to go down to the beach too, but father refused. But consented to a picnic on one of the tables next to the beach."
"When was this? I don't remember you going anywhere and why didn't I get to go?"
"I was about Mokuba's age. It was the summer father sent you and Mazaki with High Priest Seth to get what he called 'special training'."
"Uh, I remember that summer. I hated it! There wasn't exactly anything special about the training. We learned how to control our temper by meditating. We spent the entire time at a temple full of monks and priests on sabbatical. It was a major bore. I hated every moment I was there. My biggest fear was that I was going to be left there."
Seto smiled, "I'm glad he didn't. I couldn't stand it if I'd lost my big brother."
Yami smiled back, "Thanks Seto."
"The only way to get to Leyna is by train. Mokuba will love it. Maura can go visit with one of her sisters."
"Why, why can't she come too?"
"Yami, I said family vacation."
"Why can't you accept her as a part of the family? I was thinking about officially adopting her. But it'll be hard to do if you don't accept her."
"If you want to adopt her, that's fine. That's your choice."
"So, let me guess this means you wont put your name on the adoption form."
"Why? I've told you…"
"I know but Seto, Mokuba has accepted her and you are the only one that hasn't accepted her."
"Look Yami, I accepted her into this family. I did it because you asked me to. But I never said anything about us making it permanent. I don't understand your fascination with this."
"I feel for her Seto. So do you. We both know how she feels on a lot of things. The abuse she suffered, the loss of her parents. I just want to give her a real home. One with safety and security."
"How do you know this is even what she wants? Maybe one of her sisters wants her to live with them."
"Is that why you brought them here? To force Maura to leave with them?"
"I invited Princess Jasmine because I thought the girl might enjoy having her sister here for Christmas. Plus you're harping on me to give her a good present. I thought that she might provide that. Which she did. Was that wrong?"
Yami sighed, "No, I guess you're right. She did seem happy at the present. And she was probably thrilled to see her sisters."
"Yami why don't we see if you can fix the train to run either across the top of the playroom or the bottom. We'll have to get more track, but I think Mokuba would enjoy it."
"We'll try it." Yami said. Then he walked over and bent down next to Mokuba. "Come on kiddo. I promise Seto and I will let you play with your train more later. Let's open the rest of your presents."
Mokuba smiled, "Okay big brother.
