Other notations:
Nii-sama means respectful big brother
 
Onee-chan means big sister. (One of my last editors was saying it was Oni-chan but that means big brother. 2 different manga books say onee-chan and nee-chan both mean big or older sister as well as a form I found that listed Japanese words that also said that was correct.)
 
Future words or phrases will have a number beside them and then their meaning will be listed at the bottom of the chapter.
 
Several new Japanese words I've found all come from Tsubasa Chronicle. See youtube for fansubs. It is available in manga Tsubasa - RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE.

C1 Aiko's Return....and where's Seto?
 
Yami had successfully returned Kaiba to his world. From there, Yami stayed and waited for Seto's return. But after a half hour, he was concerned to find that Seto still did not return. “Something's wrong.” he muttered to himself, as he got up and finally left the area.
 
Yami returned to Seto's house, and rang the bell waiting for someone to answer. He could hear his sister's voice, as she ran to the door on the other side.
 
Angie answered letting Yami in, then looked back outside the door when she noticed Yami came alone. “Hey Yami......where's Seto? Did he go somewhere?” she asked. “I thought he'd still be with you.”
 
Yami looked concerned, as he said, “I need to talk to everyone, immediately. Where are the others?”
 
“They're upstairs, helping Mokuba get settled in. What's going on, Yami?” Angie asked, now beginning to get concerned, herself.
 
“Good.....they're all together, then. Let's go.” he said, not offering her any answers yet.
 
They headed to the bedroom, where Joey and Tristan were having a pillow fight with each other. Tea was fighting with them to stop, and Mokuba was quietly watching them in amusement. As soon as Yami and Angie came in, Mokuba noticed and ran to her, to huddle around one of her legs.
 
“Guys, will you cut it out??” Angie snapped. “You're going to scare Mokuba, again!”
 
“Hey, it's just a house-warming party.” Joey chuckled. “Besides, Tristan started it!”
 
“I did not, you big liar!” Tristan said, and began to whack him with a pillow again.
 
Yami now snapped, “Enough! There is something important I need to discuss with everyone.....”
 
That stopped them both on the spot, knowing when Yami spoke, it was serious. They calmed down, putting the pillows back, as Joey asked, “Yeah, what's up, Yami? Hey......where's Seto?”
 
Yami looked down, saying, “I'm afraid he's not here. He hasn't been around for some time, now......”
 
“What do you mean, he hasn't been around?” Joey asked.
 
“Yeah.” Tristan said. “He was standing right next to you when we left you.” Yet, as Tristan said that, Mokuba shook his head no, knowing. Yami caught it, as he did.
 
“And, where is he, Yami?” Tea asked.
 
Yami shook his head, “I don't know.”
 
Angie was starting to really worried now, saying, “Yami......please tell us what's going on.”
 
Yami got down on his knees before Mokuba now, and smiled down at him. “You knew it wasn't him either, didn't you? Don't worry, Mokuba......wherever he is, we'll find him.”
 
Mokuba smiled up at him, feeling reassured.
 
“Uh....hello! Could you like, clue us in about what's going on? Where's Seto?” Tea asked, becoming worried about her boyfriend, no matter how cold he's been to her, lately.
 
Yami stood again, saying, “Do you all remember a conversation we had, shortly after Seto's accident? It was as if Seto had a total personality change. Even you Tea had claimed that he was not your boyfriend.”
 
“Yeah, I remember that.” Tea said. “But, he's been getting better. He told us he was starting to remember things.”
 
“Did he ever tell any of us what those things were?” Yami asked.
 
Angie shook her head. “No, not really.”
 
Yami explained, “The fact of the matter is, that was not Seto.......at least not the Seto that we all know.”
 
Everyone just looked at him in stunned silence. Joey spoke first, saying, “You.....sound pretty confident about that.”
 
“Yeah.” Angie said. “How can you be so sure?”
 
“Because he told me.” Yami answered.
 
Tea said, “That can't be! If that wasn't Seto, then who was he really?”
 
“His name was Seto Kaiba.” Yami answered.
 
“That aint even funny!” Joey spat. “You're trying to say that the dude we been hanging with is related to Noah??”
 
“Wait......I think he did say something to us like that.” Angie said. “But.....but, how?”
 
Yami put his hand up, saying, “Relax......`this' Kaiba is not on Noah's side. Though he didn't explain, I'd have to assume he must have been adopted. The Seto that appeared and helped us save Mokuba and battle Noah was not from this world. Somehow......he had been brought here from some powerful magic in his own world.”
 
“Okay, well.......where is he, now?” Joey asked.
 
Yami answered, “Now, Seto Kaiba has gone back to his world, to be with his own Mokuba.”
 
“His own.......” Angie began to say. Then suddenly a light bulb lit in her head, and she said, “That's why he kept saying Mokuba was his brother. In his world, I guess he really is!” She then paused again, saying, “But he also didn't recognize me, at first. Does that mean......I don't exist in his world?”
 
“I wouldn't say that, Angie. You're probably not his sister in his world, just like Mokuba wasn't originally his brother in this world.” Yami then looked down at Mokuba and smiled. “.....and he made sure to change that.”
 
“So, where's `our' Seto, then?” Joey asked.
 
Yami turned to Joey, saying, “That's where the dilemma is.......”
 
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
 
Kaiba was in the kitchen with his hot coffee and a phone book, stewing over his latest dilemma. “I should have foreseen this problem.” he said to himself, in frustration.
 
Once again, Kaiba was finding himself without a temporary baby-sitter to watch Mokuba. And he could only blame himself for this problem. It was his choosing to wait for Angie to start staying with him and not get her as a baby-sitter, yet. He wanted to make sure she had plenty of time to move, had plenty of time to adjust to her life and have fun with her friends before she would start to live with him.
 
......the fact of the matter was, he didn't want to rush it because he didn't want to scare her away.
 
Kaiba knew he was not an easy person to deal with. But he cursed himself for his stupidity, his weakness. By throwing his own personal interest in trying to gain a sister where he didn't have one, he was now having problems with finding someone to watch his brother.
 
`Shit.' he thought to himself. `What the hell am I supposed to do, now?' He was supposed to be heading to school by now, and yet another babysitter was found unreliable and couldn't come back. Now, he was desperately looking for another, and at the moment was coming up empty. “At least when Aiko was around, she was someone more reliable.....someone I could trust. Maybe I should have asked for her to stick around longer.....” `I wish I did......' he thought, but mentally berated himself for such a thought, afterwards. There was no sense in regret......it would change nothing.
 
“You called?”
 
The female voice that replied practically next to his ear, shocked the hell out of him, and Kaiba nearly jumped in his seat as he noticed Aiko was calmly sitting next to him at the table, smiling at him. “Where.....how.....?” he sputtered out, but shut up quickly.....now angry at her for both surprising him, and making himself sound stupid.
 
He glared at her, snapping, “I don't know how you did that, nor do I care......but don't do it again!”
 
“Sorry.” she smiled at him, “I'm still getting used to these new abilities, myself. Besides, the only reason I am here is because of you. After all.....you made another wish.”
 
Kaiba blinked. He did? He then quickly remembered......he was wishing for her, though he didn't outwardly say it, which was even more disturbing. Was her presence now a good thing? Mokuba quickly came to mind, and he decided maybe it was. Offering a smirk, he said, “I didn't know I still had wishes.....”
 
She answered, “Actually, they're no longer wishes I have to offer you. But I still kept an eye on you, and was willing to help you if you needed it.”
 
Why was she keeping an eye on him? Kaiba eyed her suspiciously, “So, what you do want in return for this help?”
 
“I don't want anything.” Aiko blinked.
 
Kaiba turned away. “Thanks, anyway......but I don't plan on owing a favor to anyone.”
 
“What?” Aiko asked. “No.....you don't understand. If anything, I still owe `you'.”
 
Kaiba turned, listening. Aiko continued. “If it was not for my time with you, I would still be trapped in that box, still being forced to serve Ajin. Because of your intervening, I am free. I could not thank you enough.”
 
Kaiba nodded, accepting that as an answer. She owed him......it must have been why she was still watching him, waiting for a way to repay this `debt'. That also meant it would be okay to allow her to do a free job for him. At least then, when that debt was paid, she could finally go away. And maybe by then, he'd have Angie to watch Mokuba.
 
“The task isn't too difficult.” Kaiba stated. “I simply need a baby-sitter for Mokuba that I can trust.”
 
Aiko's eyebrow rose. “I thought he had a nanny.”
 
“And I thought you've been keeping an eye on us. I guess you don't know everything.” Kaiba smirked back at her. “She was fired.....Mokuba didn't like her.”
 
“So, you couldn't find a replacement?” Aiko asked.
 
“A permanent Nanny.....yes. But, she wont be in for a few weeks.” Kaiba answered, thinking of Angie.
 
“Well, why not just stay home with him during that time? I'm sure you'd feel better caring for him, yourself.”
 
Kaiba glared at her. “You really have been away from the real world too long.....haven't you? I have school to go to, and a company to run. Someone has to do it......that work just wont get done by itself. Mokuba lives a comfortable life, because `I' provide for him.”
 
Kaiba now turned away. “If you're trying get out of the job.......just say it. I'll find someone else.”
 
“Oh, no......I was simply curious.” Aiko stated. “Of course I'll be happy to watch him.....I'd love to.”
 
“Good.” Kaiba said, closing the phonebook he had open trying to find another sitter. He stood, and finished his coffee, saying, “Then, I have school to go to, now. He's already had breakfast and his medicine, and he seems to be feeling better. He'll need to take some more Tylenol around lunch, depending how he feels. When school is out, I'll be back to check up on you.”
 
Kaiba turned back to Aiko, noticing her staring at him strangely. “Did you understand what I said? Is there a problem?”
 
“No, just.......why do you still go to school?” Aiko asked.
 
“Why are you still asking me these stupid questions?” Kaiba snapped back.
 
She turned away, saying, “Sorry.”
 
“Are there any other questions.......`relating' to Mokuba?” Kaiba asked.
 
She shook her head. “No.”
 
“Good. Then I'll be home later. If there's an emergency, my cell-phone numbers written on the phone.” With all that said, Kaiba was out the door, and heading to school.
 
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
 
Seto Yagakamiya began to open his eyes from after he felt like he had slept forever. But he found himself dazed and confused, in a place that felt like......nothingness, not even sure who he was at the moment.
 
`Where am I.....?'
 
Then as he stared, a light opened up for him from somewhere, and he knew that would be his only escape from wherever he was.
 
`How did I get here?'
 
Without hesitation, he headed towards the light.....escape being the main thought on his mind.
 
`Where am I going?'
 
His hand reached out and touched the light. And as he did, he was engulfed in it......
 
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
 
“Are you sure that wasn't Seto?” Tristan said. “I mean......what did he tell you about him?”
 
“Yeah, besides acting kinda weird......he sure didn't seem like no Kaiba to me.” Joey said.
 
Tea added, “But it's true, he didn't seem as nice as the Seto I knew. He seemed almost......sadder, and more lonely.”
 
“From what Kaiba said to me, in his world his parents are dead. In fact, Noah and Gozaburo are dead, as well.” Yami explained.
 
“Mom and Dad are dead?” Angie asked.
 
Joey added, “That would explain why he don't see ya as his sister, Angie.....you were originally adopted. If they aren't around.....”
 
“But, if Mokuba's his brother and Gozaburo's family is dead, then who's raising him?” Angie asked.
 
Yami paused. Kaiba didn't tell him that part, either. “Well, he didn't give me a lot of details. But he did say he had to get back to Mokuba, so obviously they're together. Perhaps, he is raising him......”
 
“But he's like `our' age!” Angie exclaimed.
 
“Being someone's brother `and' Dad? That would be tough.” Tristan said.
 
Joey said, “Yeah, but what if Tristan's original idea is right, and Seto is just confused and is thinking wrong....”
 
“I helped him get home, Joey.” Yami explained. “He touched the puzzle which sent him back, so I know for sure it's not Seto. I was able the sense the difference in their souls. Plus, he had a card around his neck, which had a picture of his own brother at age five.”
 
“So, that's what that card was?” Angie said.
 
“Okay......so then that was some other Seto. But, that don't explain where `our' Seto is.” Joey said. He then looked down at Mokuba, hiding behind Angie and went over to him. “Hey, Yami said you knew about this. So, then.....where is the Seto we know, huh? Come on, Mokuba......where is he?”
 
“Stop it, Joey.....you're scaring him!” Angie said.
 
“Huh? I'm only asking him a question......” Joey said, then looked down at him and noticed Mokuba practically cringing behind Angie's leg. “Hey, what's up, kid? It's just me. You're not really afraid of me, are ya? Can't ya answer?”
 
“That's strange......from Noah's house, he talked all the way back to here. But after that, he's been real quiet.” Tristan said. “Is he okay?”
 
At that point, Yami finally changed back to Yugi, and he replied, “Mokuba probably needs more time to adjust. He's not used to speaking around others. It'll probably take some time before he gets used to talking freely.”
 
“But, he's been a chatter box until he got back here.” Joey said. “It aint like we been yelling at him......I don't see the problem. What's so different about before and now?”
 
“Seto is the difference. Don't you remember? The entire time he spoke, he was with Kaiba.” Yugi said.
 
“That's true.....I didn't think of that.” Tea said.
 
Angie looked down sadly at Mokuba, who was still clinging to her leg. Yugi then approached Angie and smiled. “Don't worry, Angie.....Mokuba already seems pretty secure around you. Give him some time, and I'm sure he'll be just as close to you as he was with Seto.”
 
Angie lightly brushing a strand of hair from Mokuba's face said, “I hope so.” Mokuba looked up at her and smiled.
 
Joey then turned to Yugi, saying, “Well, Yugi......does Yami have any idea where Seto could be, then?”
 
Yugi paused, listening to Yami's words to him. He then shook his head. “He said that he and Kaiba both felt that Seto would return, after he was gone. But after Kaiba left, he didn't appear......even after waiting awhile to see if anything changed.”
 
The others looked concerned as Yugi paused again, listening to more words from Yami. “Yami thinks we should look around for him, though. He says just because Kaiba left from that location, it doesn't mean that Seto would re-appear in the same spot......he could be anywhere around here.”
 
“But then, why didn't he call or show up at home?” Angie asked.
 
Tristan just smiled at that. “We are talking about Seto......the `normal' Seto. He probably didn't think of it.”
 
“Plus, he doesn't know anything about what's been going on.” Tea said. Then another thought hit her. “Oh, gosh. If he was the one originally hit by the car instead of the other one, then maybe he's dazed and confused somewhere......maybe he doesn't remember anything.”
 
“We better start looking for him.” Yugi said, with that thought in mind.
 
“Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's get looking!” Joey said.
 
“Joey's right. My....`our' big brother,” Angie corrected herself. Then she reached down grabbing Mokuba's hand that was on her leg. Mokuba stood up and stayed close to her, wrapping his other hand around her arm. “......he's out there somewhere and we have to find him!”
 
“Then what are we still doing standing around here?” Tea asked.
 
“Okay......then, let's split up.” Yugi said. “Joey, why don't you take the South end of town. Angie.....you and Mokuba could try the North end, then Tristan can try to East, while I'll head to the West side.”
 
“All right. Then, let's get moving!” Tristan said.
 
Everyone left to search out the area assigned, in hopes of locating Seto.
