The door of the house opened and Ryou stepped in first. He had a headache from listening to Seto and Joey fight all day. He dropped his backpack in the kitchen where he’d do his homework later and entered the living room, right to the couch where he flopped down and let his arm fall over his face.
Yami, who held a sleeping Malik lying on his chest (he was lying across the love seat), and Yami Bakura who held a sleeping Yugi and Yami Malik (Yami was still just a little angry about the fact that Yugi had wanted to sit with Yami Bakura instead of him) looked at Ryou, but then noise caught their attention. Joey and Kaiba came into the room fighting; they did however at least fight quietly once they saw the sleeping chibis.
“Who are you calling a dog?” Joey growled in a whisper.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I thought it was obvious!” Kaiba growled back, glaring Joey down. Joey however didn’t back down; instead he glared right back.
“Oh shut up already!” Ryou suddenly hissed softly. He got up from the couch and stood in front of the two. “Seto, stop calling Joey a dog and confess that you like him already! Joey, stop giving Seto such a hard time because we all know that you like him too! Yes, you both heard me; you both like each other and the only ones who didn’t know were the two of you! Now you better bloody well start to get along or I’m going to tie both of you up naked and keep you like that until you start to get along!”
Everyone was quiet as they stared at Ryou.
“Well, this is awkward.” Seto mumbled as he disappeared into the kitchen.
Finally, Yami leaned closer to Yami Bakura. “You lay him once and he’s suddenly turning into you?”
“Spend the day with me and you turn into me.” Yami Bakura growled which woke Yami Malik and Yugi. Big sleep filled eyes looked around the room. Yugi gasped and tried to hide behind Yami Bakura’s Millennium Ring when he spotted the large group that had suddenly appeared in the room with them.
“Hewo.” Yami Malik greeted as he got up off of Yami Bakura’s arm and climbed off the couch the tomb robber was lying across and he scrambled onto the love seat, jumping on Chibi Malik, waking the boy up.
Purple eyes blinked and Malik spotted Ryou. “Wyou!” He waved eagerly until Ryou waved back.
Ryou plucked Malik up as Yami Malik cuddled against Yami. Now he had an entire body to himself. Yugi was a bed hog and kept pushing him off of Yami Bakura. Ryou sat down in the only chair and held the platinum Egyptian in his lap. “What did you guys do today?”
“We was at da pool an’ a wady taked off hew top and it wanded in ‘Ami’s face.” Malik said. “Batuwa said bad words, Wyou what’s a…” He tried to remember the word. Once he remembered he recited the word causing everyone in the room to stare wide-eyed at the boy. “What? Dat’s what Batuwa said.” Malik shrugged.
Ryou glared at his other and Yami Bakura knew that he was probably going to be sleeping alone tonight… Looking back at Malik Ryou answered, “You’ll remember that when you’re older.”
“Oh, otay.” Malik grinned and then jumped off of Ryou’s lap and he ran over to Yami Malik and tackled him.
“Wyou, Batuwa and ‘Ami wewe makin’ out in the tube at MacDonald’s!” Yami Malik giggled as Ryou’s eyes widened.
Yami Bakura growled, “You promised not to say anything!” He spat.
Yami Malik only giggled again, “I cwossed my fingews!”
“You’ve got a lot of explaining to do.” Ryou growled darkly as he glared at his other half.
“Um…yeah.” Yami Bakura sighed.
“We went to da zoo too!” Yami Malik suddenly remembered, “We had wots of fun.” Then proceeded to tell Ryou about the monkey, Kaiba, the Kangaroos, bugs, tigers, bats, peacocks and crocs and everything else they saw that day.
“What’s wrong with Yugi?” Mai asked, noticing how Yugi was cowering behind the Millennium Ring.
“He’s shy.” Yami explained. “At least until he gets used to you.”
“Heh.” Joey grinned at the thought. It wasn’t an evil grin, but it was Joey’s grin. He went over and sat on the couch with Yami Bakura, not beside Yami Bakura, because that would have been suicidal. “Hey Yug, you’re not shy around me, are ya?” He asked softly.
Overly large violet eyes blinked and the tiny mouth turned into a smile. “Doggy!” Yugi squealed as he jumped into Joey’s arms, hugging him tight.
Kaiba (who had chosen this moment to come back into the room) and Yami Bakura couldn’t help but laugh at the expression on Joey’s face. “That ain’t funny Yug.” Joey shook his head.
“Joey Doggy!” Yugi insisted.
Joey sighed, seeing that he couldn’t argue with the chibi, and besides, those eyes had been turned onto him and he couldn’t go against the chibi’s wishes. “Alright Yugi, but just for you, I’ll be your Doggy.” He said, then silently cringed, waiting for Kaiba to say something, but surprisingly, he didn’t.
Joey suddenly noticed something weird about Yugi; his hair was a little different. “Hey Yug, you gots somethin’ in your hair.” He said and then went to take whatever it was out, that is until it moved and looked at him with two dark beady eyes. “Ah! Yugi’s got a bat in his hair!” He shrieked and handed the child to the closest person to him, which happened to be Ryou.
As Joey hid behind Tea, because he’s such a brave and strong man… Ryou carefully pulled the tiny creature out of the strands of Yugi’s hair. The tiny bat, which fit neatly in the palm of Ryou’s hand, looked around timidly before yawning.
“Oh man, look at the size of those teeth!” Joey cringed.
Ryou rolled his eyes, “Don’t be stupid Joey, this little one doesn’t even have teeth, it’s just a baby.” He gently lowered his hand so the chibis could see it, not wanting to startle the little bat.
“He’th cute!” Malik said as he stared at the creature.
Yugi turned his giant eyes up at Ryou; “Can we keep him?” He wondered, already getting set to put on the water works.
Ryou faltered, then looked at the three chibis who were all looking at him. “I don’t live here, you’ll have to ask Yami.” He said and the three turned to the pharaoh and jumped off of Ryou’s lap, running over to Yami.
“Pwease ‘Ami!”
“Yeah peas?”
Yami sighed, “Alright, alright.” He gave in then whined, “But what’s Grandpa going to say?”
“He won’t cawe.” Yugi grinned as he went over to the other couch where Yami Bakura sat. The smallest chibi climbed up and plunked himself into the evil yami’s lap.
Yami Bakura was aware of three things as he stared down at the chibi. The first thing was the look of promised death that the pharaoh sent him. The second was the look of promised cutting of some much liked attention from Ryou. And the third, was the fact that Yami Bakura did not feel like killing the light of the pharaoh. He actually found himself enjoying the attention…
“Wyou, I’m hungwy.” Malik spoke softly as he tugged on the sleeve of Ryou’s school uniform, unknowingly saving Yami Bakura from an untimely death…again.
“Me too!” Yami Malik was quick to agree.
“Yeah!” Yugi nodded vigorously from his perch in Yami Bakura’s lap. “I want pizza!” He exclaimed.
“Yeah!” Yami Malik and his light yelled.
Ryou shrugged, “Alright, we’ll order pizza.” He said and the chibi’s cheered happily.

That night, after finding a place for the baby bat, and after scrubbing the kitchen clean of tomato sauce and melted cheese, and after the chibi’s had a bath, which resulted in cleaning up a flooding bathroom while the three children ran around naked, which in turn caused Ryou to remember more of his time as a chibi. He mentally reminded himself to thank Yami Bakura in the best way possible for making the small boy keep his clothes on.
Finally, the house was clean, the chibi’s were clean and dressed. Now the problem was getting them to go to bed. Well, okay, only one of them.
Yugi clung to Yami Bakura and would not let go. “But I wanna seep with Batuwa!” He insisted as Yami held a slumbering Yami Malik. “You seep with Wyou!”
Yami looked at Ryou who only shrugged, telling the pharaoh that he didn’t mind. Obviously hurt by his light’s words, but unwilling to let everyone know, Yami nodded, “Alright Yugi. You can sleep with Bakura, if he agrees.”
Yugi turned his chibi eyes on Yami Bakura and the ancient spirit sighed, “I agree.” He mumbled.
“Well, now that that’s settled, go to bed so I can sleep.” Kaiba mumbled bitterly as everyone vacated the living room where he, Mokuba and Joey were sleeping. Kaiba pulled out the couch again like he had every night and he silently prayed to whomever was listening that he wouldn’t be chibi in the morning.
He climbed into the sheets soon followed by a yawning Mokuba. He glanced over at Joey who looked like a kicked puppy. Shaking his head to rid himself of those thoughts Kaiba sighed, “I’m sorry I laughed when Yugi called you a dog. You’re not a dog.” He said softly, causing Joey to look at him.
Raising an eyebrow and questioning Kaiba’s sanity Joey finally smiled, “Thanks.” He said.
“Good, now get in the bed and go to sleep.” The CEO ordered and Joey complied easily.
