Ryou: YAY! PARTY!

Seto: *sniff * I can’t believe I’m going to act normal in this fic! Finally! A chance to show off my acting skills!

Yugi: Yami and I only are in this for one scene! What’s up with that?

Bakurasgirl: You will have more scenes soon, my little Yugi. Be patient.

Bakura: I’M NUMBER ONE! I’M NUMBER ONE!

*Ryou hugs Reviewers *

Gralnak: I thought Servant Yamis was funny in many ways. I have to say that was my best story so far.

Elys: His dad is such a punk, I know! Even I was surprised by what he did! He’s a big ass in this chappie, too.

Digi: Seto may even come to Ryou’s rescue later. Yes, Seto will act normal in this one.

Anigirl15: Yeah, yaoi! I love how you comment I thrust hot anime boys into lemony yaoi goodness! Perfect verb, Anigirl!

AngelicMouse Girl: His dad does suck. This is different than other fics where his dad blindly accepts their union as if nothing is wrong. Sometimes life doesn’t work out that way.

Cheesepuff: Cheesey, all the people at my work say you are a terrific artist. They say you could get a lot of money you are so good! Everybody loves your artwork. Keep it up!

Ssjgoddesschico: I never get tired of great chapter! I know his dad is a ***** and **** and ******. Oops. Sorry,

Stupid Kid 4 and blah: Welcome back! Glad you like my story!! I love your reviews!

Negacat: The chappies were easy to post. This chappie was hard. Ryou’s dad is a big jerk and thinks he can change his son by whatever means he can think of. Mayhem awaits.

Firedraygon97: Yes, I think you can label his actions under child abuse. He damn near kills his own son! What a d**k! If enough people like Cinetti, I will bring him back as a recurring villain in my stories! Personally, I think he is a great villain!

Hato-Chiisai: Glad you like the fic.

Cat: Yes, his dad is a homophobe and hates everything is son stands for now and will go to any lengths to change him.

Bronze Eagle: Nanny Bakura was my first story and I was unsure how everybody would react to my shouenen-ai. I’m not shy about that stuff anymore because I know you guys like it!

Angelbakura Ishtar45: Yes his dad is being mean and it is sad to think he would do that to his only son. Things aren’t going to get better yet for a while. I won’t be surprised if this ends up being my longest story.

Beholder of the shadows: Happy needed air? HAAHAHAHHAHA! I hope I didn’t scare your friend too much. Tell me what she thought about chappie 11 in your next review. I can’t wait to hear what she thought about that scene. Was she surprised, shocked, disgusted?

[…] – Ryou’s memories

If Only I Could Make It Better

Cinetti turned to Steven and shook his head. Three of his other friends mimicked his action grabbing their drinks tightly.

“It’s all this media. It gives these young’ns crazy messages,” Carl said, a thirty five year old man clean shaven and kind of on the chubby side.

“It’s not only that, Carl. Steve, you have to show that kid of yours how to be a man. You have to toughen him up, Steve,” Cinetti chimed in. “What about you, Alan?”

He may be only sleeping with that other boy now, but think about the other things this can lead to!”

The men exchanged worried glances.

“Our neighborhood ain’t safe with your son the way he us, “Carl proclaimed.

“Carl’s right! He could prey on our own sons and turn them into…one of ‘them’!”

“He could ruin our neighborhood! He can spread disease,” Mike said, a younger man of twenty five, slamming the table.

The men began to pound on the table. Ryou’s behavior was deviant, and according to them, evil. Ryou could be a real threat to the community. Bakura might not be enough for him. He would want more men! The men feared waking up to their children’s beds empty and their sons missing.

Steven gulped his drink. His on didn’t even fight him back! At least resist! His son even told him that he loved his father. “I wanted him to be like me someday. Family. Home. Good job. I didn’t want this. I didn’t want a son…like the one he has become.”

Cinetti grinned evilly. “All we have to do is persuade him a little. These kids learn by example, Steven. We have to show him that women are better than men.”

“How can we do that?”

Carl got on his cellphone. “Hi, darlin’! Listen, I need you to do a favor for me tonight….You know my bud Steven?…Yeah, well. I need you to do a job for him…It’s his son’s birthday today…Yeah. You know what to do. Address? Um..9746 Excalibur. That’s it…..Thank you, sweetheart…” Carl covered up the phone receiver with his hand. “How much is this worth to you, Steven?”

Steven left the table to get another drink. “I think about $300 for the kid’s birthday present ought to be fine, right, boys?” The men nodded.

“What’s he look like?…Well, he’s got white hair and always wears this pretty little necklace thing around his neck. That’s right, angel….Tell me how it goes…..Loves you. Bye.”

Carl hung up his phone. Steven returned from the bar.

“Don’t worry, Steven. All your troubles will soon be gone. I got my Jessica going over there for you.”

“Jessica? My son doesn’t like women!”

Alan pat Steven on the shoulder. “Jessica is a good woman. Very very good. She’ll strip those tendencies right out of him.”

“Emphasis on strip.” The men laughed.

“I don’t care what I have to do to change my son. I will do anything!”

“Jessica is my best girl. She’s so pretty, it can’t help but turn a boy to the straight and narrow.”

Meanwhile at Ryou’s house…….

Bakura sat Ryou on the couch brushing his hair away and rubbing his back. “Do you want to eat?”

“I’m not hungry.”

“Ryou, it’s almost lunch. Please eat something.”

“I am not eating.” Ryou buried his face in his hands.

Bakura went into the kitchen to make himself a sandwich. He sat at the table with a glass of milk and tried to link to Ryou’s mind to read his thoughts. There was a barrier. Ryou was blocking him. Before the barrier was placed, Bakura could hear all that his father said to him. [You turned your back on me and all the hope I had for you] The snarling voice made him wince. Ryou wanted to please his father to a fault. He was so busy pleasing other people that his own desires was always placed last. Ryou was hurt, upset, scared, angry at himself for displeasing his father. But loved Bakura and Bakura knew it. Ryou never felt guilty for loving him.

Bakura joined Ryou on the couch after he was done eating and offered Ryou an apple. “Please, Ryou. Take a bite. Please eat.”

“I’m not hungry,” Ryou said wrapping his arms once again around his yami’s shoulders. Bakura rubbed his hikari’s back.

There was a knock at the door and Ryou squeezed tightly onto Bakura. “Don’t let it be daddy, please,” he whimpered.

Bakura pried Ryou off of him and went to the door to find a girl in her mid twenties. “I’m sorry to bother you, but my car broke down and I need to use your phone.”

“Do we look like a phone booth?”

“It’s so hot out here. Please?”

She brushed past him and he shut the door. The girl looked around the house. “Nice place you have here.”

Jessica turned to Ryou on the couch peeking an eye out from his hands. She walked up to him and rubbed his back. “Why are you crying, sweetheart?”

“My dad….hates me.”

“What about your mommy?”

Ryou cried harder and Bakura took her arm. “Let’s go, lady. This is none of your business. The phone’s in the kitchen.”

“Your friend needs help. Maybe I can help him.” Jessica threw down her purse and slowly removed her hat. She sat beside Ryou ignoring the glare from the yami. She wrapped her arms around him and Ryou’s head left the confines of his hands. “Really, miss. I’ll be fine.”

“I’ll make sure of that.” Jessica planted a kiss on Ryou’s lips. Bakura ran to pull her off but she kicked him to the floor.

“Yami!” Jessica pushed him down and straddled his hips.

“Don’t fight me, sweetheart. We can do this your way, or my way.”

Jessica’s hands explored Ryou’s chest and stomach, but the boy tried to push her arms away. Bakura got off the ground and pulled her hair. She screamed and brought her fist behind her knocking it into Bakura’s jaw. The yami staggered back and touched his mouth. She cut his lip!

“Please! Get off of me!” Ryou sobbed trying to buck her off.

“I know you want this, birthday boy.”

Bakura wrapped his arm around her neck in a head lock and dragged her off of Ryou. Ryou sat paralyzed on the couch. She brushed her hair out of the way. Jessica elbowed him in the side and curled her leg around his sending him to the floor. “Would you like to join us, then?”

“Keep your hands off of my Ryou!”

“Look, sonny, nobody can resist me! Look at me! I can make all your little friend’s fantasies come true.”

Bakura growled. “Who would want a dirty woman like you? Who put you up to this?”

“I am his birthday present! I am not leaving until I finish what I was paid to do! Now go away and leave us in peace!”

Bakura jumped up and grabbed her wrist as she headed for the shaking form of Ryou. “You will go away if you know what is good for you.” Ryou held his stomach and ran upstairs slamming the bathroom door.

“What is your problem? Don’t you find me attractive?” Jessica brushed Bakura’s face with her cheek. Bakura growled low in his throat. “He may not be interested in his gift, but I can…give it to you instead.”

Bakura pulled on Jessica’s wrist. “If any part of you touches Ryou again, I will personally….cut that part off.”

The water in the sink was heard. Jessica slapped Bakura’s face. “I get paid very well for doing what I do. I get paid for this anyway. Once I tell Carl what you did, he will be here knocking down the door ready to kick your ass, little boy!”

Bakura laughed. “I’m little? Lady, I’m older than you could ever imagine!” Bakura released her wrist. “Now get out of my house!”

Ryou’s bedroom door slammed.

“What do you say we go up there and comfort him…together?”

Bakura grabbed her hat and her purse and threw it at her. “He doesn’t need your germs, you dirty whore! Now get out!” Bakura threw her out of the house. He ran upstairs and turned the knob on Ryou’s door. Ryou locked himself inside.

“Ryou? Ryou, let me in.” Ryou’s whines could be heard on the other side of the door. “Ryou?” No answer.

Bakura ran downstairs and called Yami and Yugi. Yami and Yugi were at the park. Tristan and Joey were at the arcade. He had only one other place to turn

“Kaiba.”

“Seto, get over here. Ryou barricaded himself in his room.”

“Why me?”

“Because I can’t get in touch with Yugi, Yami, Joey, or Tristan. None of them are available to come over. Ryou needs his friends here now and he won’t even tell me what’s going on.”

“You guys were fine at the carnival. What changed?”

“Ryou’s dad caught us…having sex last night.”

Seto was silent on the phone for a minute. “WHAT????!!!”

“Come on, we’re married now. We’re allowed. He won’t eat at all. I’ve tried all morning. Look, I know you are very busy, but I really need you to come over. I’m really worried about Ryou. Please. He needs his friends for support and you are the closest person I can find now.”

Seto was silent for another moment and put Bakura on hold. Bakura listened for Ryou upstairs and tried his mindlink again. It failed. “OK, Bakura. I had a very important meeting with some investors, but I rescheduled it to come over.”

“Thank you, Seto. Thank you.”

Bakura hung up the phone and slowly climbed the stairs to Ryou’s room. Bakura stopped at Ryou’s door and put his ear against it. Ryou also had his ear against the door.

Both of them shed a tear on the opposite side of the door and whispered to the wood. “If only I could make it better.”

Next Chappie: Song-Chappie. Bakura and Ryou comfort each other. NO. NO LEMON NEXT CHAPPIE.
