Yami Bakura Kia: I’m sorry you were in a bad mood yesterday. I had that
kind of day when I began publishing this thing. As long as I made one
person’s bad day a lot better, I feel better. I’m going to add the rubber
ducky. I have at least four more chappies to do for this story.
Yuna Luna: Yes, darn friendship speeches. Is your name in any way
affiliated with yuna from Final Fantasy X? Just out of curiosity.
Negacat: I know. That kid will be so filthy. I’ll give him a bath in a
future chappie. Promise.
Cheesepuff: Ryou loves you,too *Ryou hugs cheesepuff *
Autumn: I will use that crocodile thing. Sounds good.
Tenshi No Yami: We can all shove Tea down a manhole!!!! MWAHAHAHAH!!!
Sarina Fannel: I won’t let anything happen to Ryou, but Bakura ends up
having a dream about him in a future chappie.
Firedraygon97: I’m going to search the net for an Egyptian lullabye if I can
find one. If not, I’ll make one up. I never thought of that. Ryou, hug
Firedraygon 97 for me! *hugs Firedraygon97 *
Darkraven: Yes she does deserve more, but I’m not done with her yet. She is
going to go somewhere with the group. Hint: Think Clowns, Balloons, and
fuzzy, big, dangerous animals.
Raven: Everybody hug raven *Yugi,Yami, Ryou, and even Bakura hug Raven
*!!!!
Invader mya and her yamis: I don’t think she’ll find rats cuddly for long.
//……// -Bakura’s thoughts
[........]-Yami's cries for dignity!!!
Call me…..Daddy?
Bakura bundled Ryou up in blankets as he slept in the doctor’s office.
With every cough, sneeze, or hack, Bakura tried to cover Ryou’s head to keep
him from becoming sicker. When Ryou’s chest gave a little spasm, Bakura’s attention shot to him.
“Yami! Something’s wrong with him!”
Yami looked at Ryou. Ryou coughed again. “It’s only a cough, Bakura.”
//Did he just call me…..Bakura?// “It’s not too deep, so that should be
easily taken care of.”
Bakura sighed and went to the desk. “Can’t the doctor see him yet?”
“Have a seat, sir,” the nurse said in monotone.
Bakura returned to his seat. Joey turned to him. “So, what’s your story?”
“He’s my son.”
“But, you’re only-.”
“Don’t preach to me, Wheeler! It’s the only thing I can think of to make sure that doctor doesn’t
ask any questions. He’ll kick us out if I say he is Ryou. His doctor knows him too well….because of
what I’ve done to him in the past. He won’t fall for it.”
Bakura turned to Yami sitting beside him. “Call me Ryou while I’m in
there.”
Bakura looked at Ryou in his arms whimpering and looking paler than before. Yami had to
distract Ryou somehow from feeling sick. He pulled out his Duel Monster’s deck
and pulled them out one by one showing them to Ryou. “A is for Ameba. B is for Barrell Dragon.
C is for….the Change of Heart…D is for the Dark Magician. E is for…hmm..can’t find an E…
F is for Fissure…G is for-.”
“Garuzzies!” Joey chimed in.
“Since when did you get a Change of Heart?” Bakura said defensively.
“You aren’t the only one who has them. H is for the Horn of Heaven.”
“Yugi Motou!” Mai Valentine interrupted Yami’s Duel Monsters alphabet.
“Long time no see, honey! Are you sick, too?”
“No, Mai,” Yugi said putting down his magazine he used to distract him from
Yami. “We’re here for Ryou.”
Mai went over to Bakura. She had never seen Bakura or even heard of him
before, so she automatically assumed it was Ryou. “Hi, Ryou!”
“I’m not Ryou.”
Mai looked at the sleeping chibi in his arms with the same hair as “Ryou.”
She gasped as she brushed the child’s hair away. “Why, Ryou! I never knew!! Who’s the lucky girl?”
“I’m not his real father, Mai!”
Mai folded her arms and raised her eyebrow. “There’s no reason to get snappy, Ryou!
It’s great you wanted to adopt, but you better watch that temper.” Mai went to the reception desk
and sat beside Yugi with her fashion magazine.
To everyone’s disappointment, Yami continued his alphabet. “I is for Insect Barrier…J is for Just Desserts…K is for-.”
“Kill me,” Bakura whined. Yami picked up a Dr. Seuss book and started to read to Ryou.
Mai looked at Yami. "Is he actually reading a story to that kid? Yami would make a great mother."
[AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! BAKURASGIRL!!] * author dies laughing *
"I've never seen this side of Yami," Mai stated.
[There's a reason for that!]
A nurse called "Ryou Bakura" and Yami accompanied him to the examination
room. "What are your symptoms?"
"My son is sick, I think."
"Son? Does he have his own record?"
"He's a newborn." //Technically, that's right.//
"Date of Birth?"
"Do you know your son's birthday?"
Bakura thought. He never paid attention. He knew there was always two days
out of the year that Ryou came home with presents. Ryou always would come in
cautiously entering the home and running upstairs with parcels to his room.
Bakura remembered one holiday Ryou came home with a new CD from Joey.
Bakura threw the CD against the wall in anger shattering it into tiny pieces, causing
his Hikari to break into sobbing.
"October....25?"
"He's twelve months old. You never brought him here for an exam?"
"He's here now, isn't he?"
"Has he had his shots?" Bakura looked at Yami. He didn't know about immunizations, so he shook his head.
"Well, he'll need them. What are his symptoms?"
Yami put his hand on Bakura's tense shoulder. Bakura was losing his temper
again. In Bakura's mind, every second wasted asking him questions jeopardized
Ryou's health and he couldn't stand it. Yami answered the question, "Coughing, sweating,
slight fever, labored breathing."
The nurse took Ryou's temperature by an ear thermometer. "Try high...101."
"What? He was playing this afternoon!"
"I guess we overdid it a little."
"Ryou," Bakura whispered as he caressed Ryou's snow-white hair. The nurse left.
When the doctor came in, Bakura had to put him on the examining table. Bakura was
told to step back, but Ryou refused to release his thumb. “I can’t let you hurt him,” Bakura said.
“I won’t hurt him, Ryou, but I have to examine him. You have a sick little boy here.”
“I want to be with him..” Yami almost heard Bakura’s voice cracking with emotion.
“I didn’t know you were a father, Ryou,” the doctor said looking down Ryou’s throat.
“It kinda just happened, I guess.” //Technically, it did.//
“What’s the baby’s name?”
“He’s named after me.”
The doctor eyed him suspiciously. “He’s named after you?”
“Something wrong with that?” Yami heard the edge return to Bakura’s voice.
He was frustrated and didn’t know where to turn to help Ryou.
The doctor examined a scar left on Ryou’s hand. Bakura had no such scar visible.
“Where did this come from?” The doctor pointed to the scar.
“Ryou fell.”
The doctor looked at Ryou’s upper arm and found a bruise from when Bakura
threw Ryou into the cold shower. The stupid injury did not heal.
“Do you see this bruise?” Bakura looked away. “I would never hit my Hik-Ryou!
How dare you accuse me of such malice!” Yami cleared his throat. Bakura took a deep breath.
“I mean, I would never hurt him. He had a fall. That’s all.”
The doctor glared suspiciously at him again. “He will need lots of rest, give him these
pills and crush them into his food. Give him plenty of fluids and call me if he gets worse.
The next day will be critical.”
“Will he be alright?”
“If the fever gets higher, he’ll have to go to the hospital. Put a humidifier in the room.
That will open his lungs a bit.” Bakura picked up Ryou from the table and left with the group.
Yami looked at Bakura who looked strangely occupied. “Are you going to stay overnight, Bakura,
or will you be o.k. at your place?”
“All his food is at your place, Yami. If it is alright, I would like to stay at your place again.
I don’t trust myself alone with him yet. If I lose my temper-.”
“Agreed,” Yami said too quickly.
Bakura convinced himself he would have to work very hard to earn Yami’s trust.
Ryou fell asleep on his shoulder while he waited for Ryou’s prescription.
More women came up to him holding the sleeping chibi. Bakura wouldn’t let anyone hold him, even though
he knew Ryou was a natural chick-magnet (Don’t we, ladies?).
They were on their way home when they saw an ad for the circus: Free Admission! One Day Only!
“That’s a great idea!” Yugi said suddenly. “What do you think, Yami?”
“Fine with me, Yugi, but Ryou is sick” Bakura said concerned.
“So we go for only one hour. He’ll be fine if we bundle him up. We’ll try to stay indoors and let him
sleep tonight.”
Bakura and the group entered the Game Shop. Yugi and Joey cooked dinner while Bakura
watched Yami prepare Ryou’s formula. Bakura watched as Yami showed him
how to hold Ryou on him as he fed him a bottle of formula, which he finished a little too quickly.
“You’re getting better at this stuff, Bakura,” Yami said proudly.
“This coming from a pharaoh who plays with dolls,” he whispered.
“You know, I’m tired of fighting that battle,” he sighed.
Ryou smiled and laughed as Bakura put him on his shoulder.
“You know, Bakura, while we’re cooking dinner, why don’t you give him a bath and put him in my bed,” Yugi offered.
“I don’t know. He almost fell out of bed this morning.”
“After a warm bath, we won’t go anywhere. I have a humidifier in my room, too. Yami, can you help him?”
“Do I have to bathe him?” Bakura whined.
“You are his Daddy!” Yami snickered.
“Well come on, Mommy, and we’ll do this together.”
Bakura carried Ryou upstairs to the bath as he waved bye to Yugi and Joey.
I have Four Chapters
planned: Ryou’s bathtime, Ryou goes Nighty-Night, and
a Circus scene with more gratuitous Anzu bashing. Yes, she does come back.
Evil always does. If you guys want me to add a romantic twist to this after
Ryou gets changed back, I can do that. It sounds like you guys don’t want me to end this fic,
so I’m going to continue it with more of the quality Anzu bashing you guys love.
Please vote for a Roy/Bakura romance (By romance I mean no sex, just kissy-kissy, huggy-huggy) or against it. I promise not to put in anything graphic if it is a romance.
This is still PG13. I have to know how to tailor the following chappies. Once I
get your votes, I’ll let you guys know. You know me, I’m quick on updating.
Personally, I would love a romance between them, but let me know what you
guys want.
