“Marik be careful and don’t climb so high!” Yami yelled at the chibi sitting on the very top of the monkey bars at the local park. It was the same park that Yami and Yami Bakura had taken Ryou when he had first been a chibi. Luckily this time they were the only ones there and it wasn’t raining; though it was pretty cold out.
“Kaiba, could you please go get him down?” Yami growled to the CEO.
“Get him yourself.” Kaiba sneered from the sand where he was busy playing with Chibi Joey.
“I can’t exactly leave Malik and Bakura alone now can I?” He snapped, glancing over at the still sleeping chibis.
“Why not? Ryou’s alone.” Kaiba shrugged motioning toward the swing set where the chibi was playing on one of the swings.
“Damn it you heartless bastard, I don’t know what Joey sees in you.” Yami growled as he took one last look at the two sleeping on the bench beside him and then quickly ran up to the play structure to get Marik.
“Hi ‘Ami!” Marik waved happily as he watched Yami climb up to him.
“Hi Marik, next time you’re going to listen to me, right? Or else I won’t let you play with Malik for the rest of the night when we get home.” Yami threatened and he saw the horror cross the child’s face.
“Otay, I wisten.” Marik nodded and hung around Yami’s neck as the two of them descended to the ground again.
“Good, now go play with Ryou so he’s not alone.” Yami said and watched as Marik scampered to the other side of the sanded area to play with the other chibi. Yami shook his head and went back to the empty bench to sit down.
Wait a minute…
Empty bench?
“Damn it! Bakura and Malik are missing!” Yami jumped to his feet to survey the park. When he found no sign of them he growled and glared at Kaiba, “Damn it you bastard, if you had watched them like I asked you to!” He yelled irritably.
“Calm down Yami, you weren’t gone for long, they couldn’t have gotten far.” Seto merely shrugged it off and went back to playing with Joey.
Yami’s eyes blazed, “Fine! I’ll look for them myself! And I’d ask you to watch Marik and Ryou, but they’d probably be gone by the time I got back anyway! Ryou! Marik! Come here!” He yelled across the park. The two chibis, seemingly knowing that Yami wasn’t in the best of moods, quickly scampered over to the pharaoh.
“Whewe’s Mawik?” Marik asked as he looked around.
“An’ Batuwa?” Ryou wondered looking around curiously.
Yami knelt down, “They took off on their own, the three of us are going to go find them, how’s that?” He wondered and both boys nodded. “Good, Marik, I want you to hold Ryou’s hand-”
“Why?” Ryou whined, “I’m a big boy too!” He insisted.
Yami smiled softly, “I know that Ryou, but I want you two to stay together so you won’t get lost, that’s all. Okay?” He asked.
Ryou sighed then looked at Marik. Seeing the sad look on the other little boy’s face Ryou realized that he had hurt Marik’s feelings. He gasped suddenly and then hugged Marik tightly, “Otay!” He nodded vigorously and took Marik’s hand in his. When Marik looked at him in confusion Ryou only grinned brightly and tugged Marik in the direction he wanted to go. Marik grinned back and the two of them started off the search for their missing halves, while Yami followed behind them.

Seto looked down at the chibi sitting between his legs as the small dirty blonde haired boy played in the sand with his Red Eyes Black Dragon toy. Joey made roaring sounds as the Red Eyes, or ‘Ba’ trampled the city that the baby had made out of sand.
He heard laughing behind him and looked out of curiosity and just in case there could mean harm to Joey. Instead he found Chibi Malik and Chibi Yami Bakura walking toward them, holding hands.
“Where have you two been?” Seto asked, not meaning it to sound so harsh.
He instantly regretted his tone when he saw Yami Bakura flinch and stop in his tracks. The spirit really had had some problems in his past life. Malik didn’t notice the change in his friend as he pulled Yami Bakura over so the two of them were in front of Seto.
“I had ta go ta da bafwoom. Batuwa taked me ‘cause ‘Ami was wit Maywik. Dey’we onwy ova’ dat hiww.” The Egyptian chibi explained as he pointed to a hill at the bathrooms then plopped down in the sand, quickly followed by the white-haired boy. As Seto watched, Yami Bakura looked around the playground for his other half, and upon not finding him the small boy’s eyes widened as he looked up at the CEO.
“Whewe’s Wyou?” He wondered softly, his voice taking a slight edge to it.
Seto realized that the boy was about to panic if he didn’t find his light soon. “Ryou’s with Marik and Yami, they went to look for the two of you. He’s safe and they’ll be back soon, okay?” He asked, making sure that he used the same tone that he used with Joey. He did not need to look after a hysterical child.
To his relief, Yami Bakura nodded and then sat in silence as he watched Malik play with Joey. At least…Seto thought it was playing…Malik piled sand into a small cup shape with his hands, then Joey would knock it down with Ba. Before long though, instead of knocking the sand over, Joey attempted to knock Malik over, thus sending both baby chibi and chibi into the quiet chibi and the three landed in the sand in a twisted mass of limbs.
Joey giggled loudly at the fun he was having as Malik pouted. He had the butt of a Red Eyes in his face and it was not something he liked. The Red Eyes was moved and Joey was picked from the pile, then Malik was pick up as well and set beside Yami Bakura again.
“Out! Mawit hit my dose!” Yami Bakura cried as he held a hand over his nose.
Malik gasped seeing the tears streaking from Yami Bakura’s eyes, even though he knew that the chibi wasn’t crying, his eyes were only watering because, well, that’s what happens when you get hit in the nose really hard. He leaned over and hugged his friend, apologizing in a rapid line of apologies in every language he knew, which was all of three.
“Let’s see.” Seto gently pulled Yami Bakura’s hands away from his face so he could look at the tiny nose of the tot. Luckily, nothing seemed to be broken or bleeding so he figured the child would be fine. Probably have a slight headache, but then Seto figured the kid would sleep it off when they got home. He still looked exhausted even after his nap.
“I’m bowed!” Malik suddenly whined, “Dewe’s nofing ta do! When awe Maywik and Wyou comin’ back?” He wondered, looking at Seto as if he knew the answers to everything.
“I’m not sure, but they won’t be too much longer.” Seto said.
At least, he hoped.
“I know!” Malik suddenly grinned, “We can buwy you in da sand!”

“Ryou! Damn it! Put your clothes back on! I thought you’d gotten passed this stage the last time you were a child!” Yami yelled racing after the (surprisingly fast) and very naked chibi. “This is illegal you know! You could be arrested for indecent (or decent, depending on the person) exposure! Then you’d never see Yami Bakura again!”
“I stiww dun wike cwoths!” Ryou replied as he threw his shirt over his shoulder. The light material got caught in the wind and landed directly in Yami’s face, causing the poor pharaoh to trip and land face first into the dirt. Luckily, the shirt didn’t even have a grass stain on it. Ryou giggled when he spotted Yami and then ran toward Marik who was sitting near a fountain that spewed water.
“Wook!” Marik pointed to the top of the fountain where a little boy sat naked as the day he was born, he had little wings poking from his back and he was playing a trumpet, which was ejecting water. “He nakkie wike you!” The spirit giggled as he pointed at Ryou.
Ryou merely shrugged as the two of them looked down at the water that had gathered in the bottom of the fountain. “Wook at aww the shiny tings!” Ryou said as he and Marik spied the silver coins sitting at the bottom.
Marik stuck his short arm in to try and grab one to see what it was, but he was too short and the ledge he was leaning on happened to be wet. “Awmost…got it…” He grunted then shrieked as he fell face first into the cold water.
Ryou giggled hysterically as Marik poked his head out, looking very much like a drowned rat. Not wanting to miss out on any of the fun, the smaller chibi quickly climbed up onto the ledge and jumped in. “It’s c-code!” Ryou shivered as he surfaced beside Marik. Marik agreed but they continued to giggle anyway.
Yami, who had hit his head rather hard, was now over his disorientation and was now looking around frantically for any sign of the chibis, they both seemed to have disappeared. Suddenly he heard a splash and it was followed by familiar giggles. Remembering that he had left Marik by a fountain he groaned and got up unstably and made his way to the fountain as fast as he could.
When he arrived he groaned again at the sight before him. Both of the chibis were soaking wet from head to toe. Marik’s clothes were completely soaked through, and though the children were having fun, they were both turning slightly blue. “Okay guys, fun’s over.” He said, plucking the closest one out of the water first. Marik pouted, but let himself be picked up and placed on the ground, once there he noticed how cold it was and he wrapped his arms around himself to stay warm, though it did him little good.
“’Ami, I’m code.” He whimpered slightly as he stared up at the pharaoh.
Yami nodded as he reached for Ryou, but the chibi evaded his arms. “Ryou.” He said to the chibi, not in the mood to play games. “You and Marik are going to get very sick if you don’t get out of the water right now.” He reasoned and finally Ryou let himself be grabbed and hauled out of the water. Yami quickly rubbed Ryou dry with the shirt he held in his hands, then pulled the rest of the dry clothes on the chibi. He turned to Marik and quickly stripped the chibi of all his wet clothes except for his underwear and dried him off the best he could as well. With that he buckled his leather jacket up half way and then picked Marik up and placed him within the jacket. Then he picked Ryou up and began the trek back to where he’d left the others, hoping that the two lost chibis had returned.
Giggling met his ears as he approached the play area and his eyebrow raised in question as he spotted a giant pile of sand sitting in the middle of the sandpit. Around the pile of sand were Malik, Yami Bakura and Joey. “Where the hell did you go Seto?” He growled, unable to believe that the CEO would leave Joey alone without having raised Hell.
“I didn’t go anywhere, get me out of here!” The sandpit growled. Knowing that sandpit’s don’t normally talk, even in this day and age, Yami walked to the other side.
“Stop playing around Seto. Marik and Ryou jumped into a fountain and are going to freeze if we don’t get them home soon.” He shook his head as he put Ryou and Marik down.
“Wyou!” Yami Bakura cried out as he glomped onto his other half. Ryou giggled between his chattering teeth and hugged his yami back to stay warm.
“Yous is aww wet!” Malik exclaimed as he looked at Marik.
“We went swimmin’!” Marik grinned as Yami pulled Seto from the sand pile.
“I wasn’t playing around pharaoh.” Seto growled as he plucked Joey and Ba off the ground and began to walk toward the street.
“Whatever.” Yami rolled his eyes as he picked Marik and Ryou up again. Once Marik was huddled within his jacket and Ryou was safely balanced on one arm Yami took Yami Bakura’s hand, making sure that Malik was holding onto the tiny tomb robber. With that the group made their way after Seto where he was waiting with the car.
