Tea's Little Sister ~Mokuba Kaiba~[Book 1]

Souls returned

A/N: Merry Christmas, everybody!!! Guess what? You're in for a real treat today! ^^❤️

"Bakura, Jill! Hey, are you two still up there?!" Joey called out to Bakura and Jill. 
"Yes, we're with Mokuba! He's coming around!" Bakura called back, which made Lea smile widely. 
"Is he okay?" Tea asked the pair, as soon as she and the guys arrived. 
"Yes, Mokuba's fine." Jill answered, with a smile on her face. 
"Great, so his soul is back in his body, huh?" Joey asked, as he looked down to Mokuba to get a closer inspection. 
"That's a relief." Tea smiled, in relief. 
Just then, Yugi finally appeared and asked while panting, "So, he's really alright?!" 
"He's fine." Tea answered, reassuringly.  
"Who'd have believed Pegasus would keep his word?" Tristan asked, slightly confused. 
"Yeah, go figure." Yugi agreed, as he sheepishly put his hand to the back of his head. 
Then he turned to Mokuba and asked him gently, "So, how are you doing, Mokuba? You feeling up to gettin' off this island?" 
"Not without Seto. Where's my big brother?" Mokuba asked, weakly. 
"He's somewhere in this castle, we'll find him. I bet he already knows you're safe." Yugi replied, reassuringly. 
"Mokuba!" Came Lea's voice all of a sudden, which caught everyone, including Mokuba's attention. 
"Lea?" He whispered softly, before Lea suddenly and finally appeared last, and she appeared to be happy as she ran over to him. 
"Mokuba!" She called out again, and Mokuba's eyes widened and he easilly sat up and was surprised as he watched her run to him. 
"Lea!" He exclaimed, before Lea finally arrived in front of him and knelt down in front of him. Then she slowly placed both of her hands on both of his cheeks to see if he really was alright, and by the looks on his eyes and his face, and his warmth coming back to him... He really was alright, and so Lea quickly embraced him as she felt tears form in her eyes. 
"You're okay! Thank goodness!" She cried, before Mokuba hugged her back and softly whispered in her ear. 
"I'm sorry I had you worried, Lea." He apologized softly, before Lea pulled back to face him as she looked right into his eyes. 
"It's alright, because I'm just glad you're okay." She replied softly, before she brought her head into his chest and breathed into his scent and his warmth while her eyes fluttered closed. Then she smiled a little when she heard the beautiful sound of his heartbeat, it just felt good to hear it again after his soul had been taken for a long time. 
Jill just blushed so hard and covered her mouth with both of her hands to prevent everyone from seeing her blush and wide smile, and all she could think right now was, 'D'AWWWWW!!!!!' 
Bakura just smiled softly as he watched Lea and Mokuba embrace. He found it to be quite adorable, especially since he was seeing young children in love. 
Both Tristan and Joey just smiled a little, happy for Lea that she was so happy that Mokuba had just gotten his soul back, and here she was embracing him, showing her love for him and giving him the message that she needed him. 
Tea just smiled as she watched her little sister hugging the boy she loved, thinking how romantic it really was. Then she glanced at Yugi, who was smiling softly as he watched the two kids embrace, and she blushed at the imagination of her and Yugi embracing the same way her sister and Mokuba were embracing. 
'They're so young, and yet, so in love.' Yugi thought, as he smiled softly. 
Just then, Croquet appeared and called to Yugi and Joey, "Yugi, Joey." 
"Croquet?" Yugi questioned, as he and the others faced him. Mokuba and Lea never let each other go as soon as they faced Croquet, cause all they both knew was that they needed each other for a while. 
"Due to his illness, Mr. Pegasus will be unable to attend." Croquet announced firmly, which made Yugi shocked. 
"If you ask me, it's just a lame excuse to avoid paying off on the prizes." Joey snarked. 
"All prizes are still to be awarded. Yugi has already received his agreed upon award of four freed souls. But..." Croquet began, before he walked towards Yugi and showed him the box of the card. 
"In addition, there's this." 
"What is it?" Yugi asked, completely surprised. 
"It's a card called the Ties of Friendship. It's the only one of his kind, hand-painted by Pegasus himself." Croquet explained, before Yugi took the card out of the box.
"I was instructed to deliver it personally to Yugi Muto. You are now, officially, King of Games." Croquet confirmed, before he took an envelope out from his suit. 
"This contains a check for the prize money. Won by Yugi and his duel with Joey Wheeler." He announced, which surprised the others. 
"It's all yours, Joey. Just like I promised." Yugi smiled at Joey, which Joey returned and nodded. 
"You're the best, Yug." Joey said softly, as he gratefully took the envelope out of Croquet's hand. 
"Three million dollars, Joey!" Tea exclaimed, happily. 
"For your sister's operation." Tristan added. 
After hearing that Joey would be able to save his sister, Lea just nestled her head into Mokuba's shoulder contently, which surprised him a bit but he smiled softly. 
"Yeah." Joey replied softly, as he looked at the envelope for a moment and thought about Serenity. 
"We've been apart for so long, but now I can save her from going blind." He stated, happily. 
"That's great, Joey." Yugi smiled, softly.
