※ Warnings - A sick Ryou and Malik, perverted Kaiba dreams, a domestic Yami Bakura (scary thought eh?) that's about it, oh, more shopping!
- just remember that this is the unrevised version.

Seto Kaiba was having a very nice dream. It involved a large bed and an almost naked Joey Wheeler. Kaiba was just about to see which Duel Monster Joey had on his boxers when something poked his nose.
Upon opening his eyes, waking up he stared up into brown eyes. At first he thought it was Ryou, and was about to yell for Yami Bakura, but then he noticed that this child had black hair, not white. “Mokuba?” Kaiba mumbled sleepily.
“Bwodder!” Chibi Mokuba grinned.
Kaiba groaned and picked Chibi Mokuba off of him, setting him aside, he sat up and saw that everyone was already awake and dressed and it looked like they were getting ready for school.
“Ryou’s back to normal but he’s sick so we’re letting him sleep.” Joey explained. “Yugi left your cell phone number with Yami Bakura in a note just in case.”
Kaiba nodded and got up, looking at his brother. “We should put him in with Chibi Malik and Chibi Yami Malik.”
“Probably.” Joey nodded as Kaiba picked his brother up and disappeared up the stairs.
Yami, who had been leaning against the wall snorted. “You’re drooling Joey.” He said and Joey quickly wiped his mouth before Kaiba returned, Yugi following close behind.
“We should go, it’s going to look funny that we’re all late, but…” Yugi shrugged.
“We planned this, Kaiba was driving us and he had car trouble.” Joey said.
“Are you and Yami Bakura going to be able to handle the chibis?” Yugi asked, looking up at his dark half.
“Are you kidding? After yesterday I plan to sleep all day. Yami Bakura can take care of the little monsters. I’m not even going to show myself.” The pharaoh yawned as he pushed himself off the wall, then trudged up the stairs after waving goodbye.
“Ryou was right.” Joey mumbled as the three of them left.
“What’s that?” Kaiba asked.
“Yami’s a meany-head.”

Ryou sniffed as he rolled over on to his back, away from the warm body beside his. An arm came down and wrapped around his chest, waking the slumbering boy. Blinking in confusion he smiled, then giggled out loud.
“What’s so funny?” Yami Bakura grumbled as he woke from his peaceful sleep. After finding that his light was back to normal, Yami Bakura had gone back to sleep.
Ryou only grinned and shook his head. “Nothing Batuwa, I just remember everything.” He giggled as Yami Bakura sat up startled and looked down at him.
“Everything?” Yami Bakura raised an eyebrow.
“Well, not everything, but I remember most of it…I think. I remember sitting in the corner with you, but I don’t remember why you were sitting in the corner.” Ryou looked at him for an explanation.
He doesn’t remember the fight between the pharaoh and I. “It wasn’t important, just me being a pest.” Yami Bakura shrugged.
Ryou smiled, “Nothing new there. I remember being at the park and playing with…Malik?” Yami Bakura nodded, “Okay…then I remember being cold.”
“Do you remember running around Malik’s place, naked and with his Millennium Rod?” Yami Bakura wondered and he would have laughed out loud at the look on Ryou’s face if not for the simple fact that he was Yami Bakura.
“What?”
“Don’t worry, the lights were out…most of the time. You broke a priceless vase, but other than that no other damage. I’d count knocking Malik out with the Rod damage, but it’s Malik, so it doesn’t count.” Yami Bakura shrugged.
“I knocked Malik out with the Rod?” Ryou gasped, “Is he okay?”
Yami Bakura nodded, “Remember anything else?”
“Um…yeah, I was in the bathtub with other people, but I can only remember you…” Ryou trailed off and grinned. “So, you wanna have sex with me.” He raised an eyebrow.
Yami Bakura gulped; “I think I’ll be checking on the twins now…” He quickly got off the bed.
“Twins?” Ryou followed him out of the room and into the guestroom where three chibis sat on the floor and played. Well, two chibis played, one was still sleeping. “Malik?” Ryou looked at the chibi trying to sleep. “Yami Malik?” He turned to the slightly bigger boy who sat beside, “Mokuba? I’m getting a headache.” Ryou held his head.
Yami Bakura had disappeared, but returned shortly. “Yugi left a note. We’ve gotta take care of Kaiba’s brat and these two until the others get home from school.” He explained, handing Ryou a note.
“Ryou has a fever?” Ryou read from the note, then felt his own forehead.
“Idiot, it doesn’t work that way.” Yami Bakura rolled his eyes and pushed Ryou’s hand out of the way, pressing his forearm against the burning skin. “Well, the note’s right.” He sighed as he looked down at the three chibis.
Malik sat up and began to cough suddenly. His eyes were watery and his face flushed with fever as well. “Looks like someone else is sick too.” Ryou sighed as he gently picked up the struggling child and rubbed his back lightly to help him calm down.
Yami Malik had stopped playing and was now standing beside his light, looking at him worriedly. Ryou smiled, “Don’t worry, it’s just a cold.” He reassured the smaller boy, then looked up at his other half. “You have to go to the store and get children’s cough syrup. I doubt Yugi would have any since there’s no one in this house who’s under fifteen, usually.” Ryou explained.
“Alright.” Yami Bakura dreaded the idea of shopping. “I’ll take the two brats with me, the less Mokuba’s around the two of you the better.” He said and picked Mokuba up; who immediately grabbed a handful of Yami Bakura’s hair. “Ow! You really are a brat.” He hissed, then turned to the floor. “Come on Yami Malik.” He said, but Yami Malik shook his head wanting to be with Malik.
Ryou looked at him, “How about if you go help Bakura and then you can pick out a toy to bring back Malik?”
“Otay.” Yami Malik nodded and followed Yami Bakura out of the room. The three of them left the house after grabbing Ryou’s wallet.

After walking to the nearest store, which was about three blocks away, Yami Bakura had decided that he hated chibis again. Mokuba had a lot of energy, and all though he listened, so far, his voice was annoying and he wouldn’t stop talking to Yami Malik, who was being too quiet, as far as Yami Bakura was concerned.
At first he had thought that something was wrong with the little tyke, but then remembered that the boy was worrying about his counterpart, so he left it alone.
At the store, Yami Bakura grabbed a cart, just so Mokuba would stop whining. He wanted to ride in one. So after placing Mokuba in the cart he made sure that Yami Malik held onto one of the bars on the cart and they traveled through the store over to the ‘drug store’ within the store.
As the tomb robber left the cart for a few seconds, Mokuba grinned impishly and climbed out of the cart. He grabbed Yami Malik’s hand. “Come! I’m hungwy!” He announced and together the two ran down the isle.
When Yami Bakura returned to the cart he sweatdropped. “Mokuba! Yami Malik?” He looked around. “I’m going to kill them.” He growled and left the cart, running down the isle.
“Batuwa!” Someone yelled and Yami Bakura turned toward the voice. He growled when he saw that a large security guard was carrying two chocolate covered chibis.
“These belong to you?” He asked gruffly as he held the chibis out to Yami Bakura.
He sighed, “I want to say no, but I can’t because then I’d have Seto Kaiba on my ass.” He mumbled as he took both of the chibis from the man.
“I found them sitting among the donuts, I believe they ate about five.” He said, “That will be three bucks.” He held out his hand.
Growling to himself as he set Yami Malik on the floor so he could dig in his pocket for the change, he thrust the money at the guy and grabbed Yami Malik’s chocolate-coated hand. With that he dragged the two, and the bag he had hooked on his arm towards a bathroom.
Once inside he sat both chibis on the counter and grabbed a bunch of paper towels. “Great, you two are going to have a bath when we get home.” He mumbled, then stopped himself and sweatdropped. “I hate being domestic.” He whined, causing both boys to giggle.
