"Enter." Seto called out.

The knock came again with no answer.

"I'll get it." Yami said getting up and opening the door.

Mai walked in and set the tray in his lap.

Seto looked at it then at her. "What is this? I told you double. And the eggs aren't scrambled, why?"

"Yes, sir I am aware of that." Mai said.

"Then why did you do it?" Yami asked.

"Well sir, I know you prefer your eggs over medium and so…"

"So where's the extra plate and fork I asked for?"

"Sir if you'll let me explain." Mai started

Yami walked around and sat back down on the bed next to a sleeping Mokuba. He was snuggled into Seto and had gone to sleep while Yami told what they did that day.

"Well…" Mai started but before she could start, another knock came at the door. "I'll get it."

"Seto don't be so hard on her. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation." Yami whispered.

"She's supposed to be a trusted maid around here. Since when did I lose control of this castle? When did people stop listening to me? Have I been so out of it lately that…"

"My king."

"What?" Seto snapped, not in one of his best moods at the moment and hating to be interrupted.

Mai motioned to the person behind her. It was Yami's personal maid Isis. She walked around the bed carrying another tray and sat in Yami's lap.

Seeing a baby glass of milk and some coffee, Yami looked at the sleeping child and then at Isis. "Isis, would you get another glass of milk, a bigger one."

"Yes, sir."

Seto looked at the tray Yami had and back at Mai.

"That's what I was going to tell you sir. When you said you wanted double and milk for the little one plus the extra plate and fork, I assumed that meant you were going to share with the little one. So I took it upon myself and just had your normal breakfast made and then had an extra one made for the little one."

"Mai."

She was still a little afraid she'd get into trouble. "Yes, sir?"

"Thanks, you did good."

Mai was very pleased; the king rarely gave compliments like that. "Thank you my king, will there be anything else?"

"Not at the moment, no. You're dismissed."

Mai bowed and left just as Isis returned and handed Yami the extra milk. Yami thanked her and dismissed her.

"I told you there'd be a reasonable explanation didn't I. She had your breakfast made as well as one for Mokuba."

"Didn't you want something?"

"No, I had breakfast, I'll just steal some of your fruit. Seto were you really going to share? I've never known you to willingly share before."

"Yeah well when you see a little kid like this starve himself just so that you will have something to eat, it kind of changes your view point a little."

"What do you mean Seto?"

"Well I was living in his basement while I was hurt. He took care of me and then it came time that I took care of him. It seems the bastards he was living with barely fed him and then he started to give all of the little food he was allowed to me. I would have figured it out eventually but Ryo told me that they barely feed him and that he often brought him food. So, after that I insisted on sharing it with him. I did think of you though, I figured you'd think it odd since I always refused to share with you."

"I'd say the kid's a good influence on you then."

Seto just glared at him and then shook his head. He then lightly woke Mokuba.

"Come on kiddo time to get up."

Mokuba sat up rubbing his eyes. Then he started to make a move to leave but Seto grabbed him and held him back.

"Where are you going?"

"I h-have to g-get to w-work." Mokuba told him.

Seto got the feeling the kid was still half asleep and was going on instinct. "No, now come on, wake up and look at me."

Seto took the glass of water he got with his meal and held it up to the kid. Mokuba took it and drank out of it. Then he handed it back.

"T-thanks, Seto."

"Yami's got something for you."

Mokuba then looked at Yami.

"Sit up straight and tall and I'll give it to you."

Mokuba did as he was told. He sat up with his back on a third pillow Seto kept on the bed. Then Yami set the tray on his lap.

"W-what's t-this?"

"It's breakfast all for you." Yami told him.

Though it was his idea to get the kid some food, Seto wanted Yami to have the credit so that the kid would adjust to him more. If they were to ever adjust and make it as a family, he had to get the kid to trust Yami as much as he did him. After hearing what happened he was sure, it wouldn't take long but he wanted to be sure.

Mokuba hugged Yami, then Seto. He then pointed to some brown string like stuff. "What's that?"

Yami took his fork and held it up to him. "Haven't you ever had hash browns before?"

Mokuba had never even heard the name and lightly shook his head.

"Well it's good, trust me." Seto told him taking a bite of his own.

'Well if Seto likes it, it can't be all bad.' Mokuba thought, taking the bite Yami offered.

"Was it good?" Yami asked.

Mokuba nodded his head. Yami handed him his fork and watched the kid eat.

x-x-x-x-x-x-xx-x-x-x-x-x

Meanwhile Ryo wasn't adjusting as well as Mokuba was at the moment.

"Don't hog all the closet or drawer space." Bakura said.

"I took two drawers and they were empty to begin with! Not to mention I didn't even take up half of the closet space I could have."

"I have to go."

"Wait, you promised to show me around, remember?"

"I have things to do, I can't waste my time but if you insist I can't stop you from tagging along."

"Gee how could I turn down such a warming invitation." 'This is either going to work or we're going to end up killing each other!'

x-x-x-x-x-x-xx-x-x-x-x-x

As they were walking Ryo was fascinated by all the things he saw. Then he accidentally ran into Bakura when he stopped abruptly.

"Watch where you're going." Bakura growled.

"Sorry I was looking around and you stopped."

"Hey, Bakura, who's your friend?"

"He's no one."

"Uh, right, the names Honda, Honda Shadii. I'm the head of the royal army of knights here at the castle."

"Oh well it's a great honor to meet you, my names Ryo, Ryo G…"

"I told you he's no one." Bakura snapped.

"Touchy aren't we." Honda said. "Hey, did anyone ever tell you that you two could be brothers?"

"Yes." "No." Ryo and Bakura said at the same time.

"As a matter of fact," Ryo said, stepping in front of Bakura, "I was going to say my name's Ryo Gwydion."

"Gwydion, but isn't that your last name Bakura?"

Bakura mumbled something.

"What was that?" Honda asked.

"Nothing, let's go Ryo."

"Why should I if you're not going to even bother with telling people who I am. Since it seems obvious you've never told them before."

"Why, should I? I have a reputation to maintain!"

"And you think they're going to think less of you when you tell them you have a little brother!"

"Whoa, you guys are brothers? Bakura, why didn't you ever tell us?" Honda asked.

"He's not going to be here long enough for anyone to care." Bakura snapped.

"Oh, so you're only here to visit?" Honda asked.

"No, actually I'm here to become a knight but Bakura thinks I'm lacking in skills. I just completed the full and complete training course that Master Pegasus offers to all of his students."

"Well if you're the same guy that was riding with that kid this morning, then I'd say you already have an in." Said a voice from behind them.
