A few more people who'd seen and heard of Mokuba brought gifts for him. Clothes that later were found to fit the kid like a glove. Needless to say Seto was surprised that they were bringing things for Mokuba too. He had a sneaking suspicion that everyone feared he'd go over the edge without Yami. True he was upset that he was gone. Then he squeezed Mokuba tightly. But he had something to keep me from going over that edge.

"I-is s-something wrong Seto?"

Seto shook his head. "No, I have you, what could be wrong?"

Mokuba giggled and sighed happily snuggling closer.

After royal court had finally ended without Seto killing everyone or going to sleep it was time for dinner.

Mokuba couldn't believe all the food! He'd never seen so much in his life! Even at his stepmother's parties he'd never had this much and a lot of things he saw he'd never seen before.

"So kid, where do you want to start?" Seto asked.

Mokuba looked at him. "S-start?"

Seto smiled. "Yes, start. You'll never go hungry around here kid. Now what all do you want?"

"T-turkey and p-potatoes."

"Anything else? Come on kid, we got a lot of food."

"W-why s-so much?"

Seto chuckled. "I don't know, kid. I guess the cook just got carried away. What we don't eat they'll save and we'll have enough for weeks."

Mokuba couldn't believe it. All this food was for them.

"Didn't you ever have a lot of food on the table?"

Mokuba shook his head no. "N-no e-even when c-catered, t-there was just e-enough for t-the g-guest. W-we alm-most never had m-more t-than f-five or six people over at any p-party."

"Oh well I'll put a small bit of a few things and if you like it you can have more but if you don't, you don't have to eat it."

Mokuba smiled. "Okay b-big brother."

Seto put some turkey and potatoes along with black-eyed peas and corn. Then put some gravy on the potatoes. Then put it down for Mokuba.

Mokuba tried the turkey and his eyes lit up with a big smile and really dove in dipping the turkey in the potatoes and loving that even more.

Seto noticed the happy look on the kid's face. "Haven't you ever had turkey before kiddo? I would have thought your family would have had turkey."

"T-they did. I j-just w-wasn't allowed to have any."

Seto glared off into space. He should have figured as much. That would have meant spending money to feed him.

"S-Seto?"

Seto shook it off, "I'm not angry with you, just your stepmother."

"Y-you d-don't like her, d-do you s-Seto?"

"W-why would I l-like the b…witch." Seto said, catching himself. Not wanting to cuss in front of Mokuba.

"S-Seto w-what's this on the potatoes?"

"It's called gravy. You've had gravy before you've made it."

"Y-yeah but m-mines not v-very good. It's also not c-clear like this."

"I wouldn't say that kid. I ate your gravy remember? I thought it was good and this is just a different type of gravy."

"T-there are d-different types?"

"There are different types of lots of things, kid." Then Seto got some cranberries and showed them to him. "You want to try some of these?"

Mokuba looked at them and shook his head. They didn't look all that good. He also turned down the dressing.

Yami meanwhile was also sitting down to eat. Krystyn was smiling, making Yami very nervous. Dartz however paid little attention. Yami had a bad feeling. He remembered one year when the advisors flat out told Seto they were calling a halt to his search for their brother, that when the cook tried a new recipe that was horrible Seto yelled and screamed at him. Needless to say the next week the food was barely edible, till Yami forced Seto to apologize.

"Aren't you hungry?" Krystyn asked Yami.

Yami only nodded and slowly took a bite. He smiled. It was great. He couldn't believe it! He dove in.

Krystyn smiled even brighter. "What about you grandfather?"

Dartz saw how much Yami loved it so he didn't think anything of it. So he took a big bite! However after he bit into it he gasped and reached for the water and started to drink then reached for the pitcher to drink more.

Yami looked at Krystyn who was still smiling and calmly eating. "What did you do?"

"Oh nothing really. Grandfather was saying how he didn't care much for my food, so I decided to really give him something to hate. It's not really just a little hot sauce."

"A little!" Dartz said.

"Well yeah, of course it was the super hot version." Krystyn said as if it was nothing.

"Then why am I the only one suffering?"

"Quite simple, dear grandfather. While you did nothing but complain Yami whether he thought it or not, said nothing. So why should I punish him?" Krystyn asked.

Yami knew better than to insult the person who was cooking.

After dinner Seto spent the rest of the night playing games with Mokuba.

Mokuba climbed up next to Seto. "S-Seto."

"What's up kid?"

"Why d-do we have thanksgiving?"

"Well you remember that story Sugoroku told you about the dark magician and the blue-eyes white dragon?"

Mokuba nodded.

"Thanksgiving is a day we give thanks to them for saving the world and finding this land for us to live on. The people in town were so thankful that they prepared a feast. A turkey with all the trimmings and anything else they had on hand at the time."

About 8:30 Mokuba was trying to read one of his books while Seto was looking over some paperwork. The clock chimed and Mokuba sighed realizing it was time for treatments. He got up and walked over to Seto. "S-Seto its t-time to go."

Seto looked up. "Time for what kid?"

"T-treatments."

"It's that late already?"

Mokuba nodded.

"Well I have a better idea."

Mokuba cocked his head.

"How about we skip treatments and settle in with some warm milk and I'll read you a book."

Mokuba's eyes lit up. "Y-you'll r-really read to me?"

Seto smiled sadly and realized he obviously didn't do that often enough. He decided he'd make it a point that from now on he'd read to the kid more often. "Of course I will. I'll show you the library and…" he stopped when he saw the downed look on the kids face. He realized why. The kid still had trouble reading. "Or I'll have the milk sent to the library and we'll look for a book together. Then read it there."

Mokuba smiled and nodded.

"Then that's what we'll do." Seto said and got up and took Mokuba's hand and went downstairs where he ran into Mai. "Mai."

"Yes, my king?"

"Bring some warm milk to the library for us both and have the doctor informed that we won't be doing treatments tonight."

Mai bowed. "Yes, my king."

Mokuba and Seto looked over the books till they came to one that read 'The Dragons and the Unicorns.'

They sat in a big chair. Mokuba was snuggled up against him. Seto was reading it and got lost in the book and didn't realize that Mokuba had fallen asleep snuggled against him. Seto finished it.

"I don't guess I'd ever read that one before. Must be one Yami bought. I don't remember seeing it before. Did you like it kiddo?" When no answer came Seto looked down and noticed the kid was asleep. He smiled and gently pushed the kid back and carried him to his room and changed him. Then took the boy to his room and laid him down. Then changed clothes and laid down and pulled the boy close, Mokuba snuggled up and laid with his head on Seto's chest.

Friday, Seto took the time to explore the castle with Mokuba. This way he could spend time with him and help him from getting lost. Seto was surprised himself as they explored parts of the castle he'd never been to before. He thought it was strange. But then before now between his father and the big five he didn't have a lot of time to explore.

A/N: Yes, I am well aware that's not what thanksgiving is. But I also plan to change Christmas. Remember at the start of the story where you read the words. 'My story, My reality!' Well this is part of it. To tell the real life story of it would take it to reality instead of this fantasy world.
