“Damn it! Chibis are heavier than they look!” Seto grumbled as he hauled in a few bags of stuff, plus Joey and Marik, who was now dry.
“Oh sure, you have a baby, why are you complaining? Malik could lose some weight.” Yami mumbled as he went into the living room and gently set a sleeping Ryou on the couch.
“I’m not fat.” Malik muttered from Yami’s back.
Yami sighed, “I know Malik, I was talking about that stick of gold you carry around.” He said as he carefully lifted the chibi up off of his back and set him on the couch as well.
“So where do we put them?” Seto wondered as he placed Marik beside Malik. The two chibis leaned against each other and tried to sleep.
“Bakura and Ryou can sleep in Yugi’s room. Malik and Marik can go to the guest room and I’m pretty sure you won’t let Joey out of your sight, so you can take him into Grandpa’s room.” Yami sighed.
Seto thought this over. “Alright.” He nodded and picked Marik up from the couch again. Yami picked Malik up just before the naughty child hit Ryou with his Millennium Rod to get his attention. With his other arm he picked up Ryou and then headed up the stairs behind Seto, a chibi Yami Bakura in tow.
In the guestroom Malik and Marik were settled in, the two boys asleep before Yami even finished tucking them in. Yami made sure that the stuffed D. Human was on one side of Malik and didn’t separate the two boys who cuddled together.
With that, everyone separated into their two rooms. In Yugi’s room, Ryou was placed in the bed and Yami Bakura jumped up to join him. After tucking them in, Yami was about to leave, when a small voice stopped him. “’Ami stay?” Ryou was awake again and looking up at the pharaoh with large, sleepy chibi eyes. “I’ww cwy if you don’t.” Ryou sniffed innocently, but Yami was sure it was a threat.
“Yes, Yami will stay.” Yami sighed as he shut off the light and took off his leather jacket. With that he crawled into the bed, making sure Ryou was in the middle of the two bodies and Bakura was by the wall. With that, all the occupants fell asleep.
In the other room, Seto gently laid Joey on the bed, giving the tired tot his Red Eyes plushie. Joey grinned as his eyelids lowered. “Eto!” He looked up at the CEO and pouted until the other stretched out beside him on the bed.
Seto smiled softly as an arm circled around Joey’s small body. “I suppose a short nap won’t hurt, will it Jo-Jo?” He yawned and then closed his eyes as he felt the small baby cuddle into his chest.
By the time school let out and Yugi and Mokuba returned to the Game Shop, Tristan, Tea, Mai and Duke with them, everyone was still asleep. Except for the chibi sitting on the couch flipping through TV channels for cartoons.
“Hey Ryou.” Yugi grinned as he set his bag down beside the couch. “Where’s everyone else?” He wondered as he sat down beside the chibi.
“Seeping.” Ryou sniffed as he watched everyone enter the room. His eyes widened and then narrowed when he saw Duke. “Meany!” He declared as he stood up on the couch and pointed the TV remote at the boy.
“Huh?” Duke looked at him.
“You made Maywik cwy!” Ryou growled as he sat back down again and pouted.
Duke sighed, “Look kid, it’s not like I did it on purpose.”
Ryou raised an eyebrow skeptically, “Pwomise?” He wondered.
“I suppose, yeah I promise.” Duke muttered.
“Yay!” Ryou cheered as he jumped off of the couch and ran over to Duke, wanting to be picked up. Duke, who didn’t have a lot of experience with small children, carefully picked Ryou up and looked at him as Ryou stared back at him. “Wiww you pway wit Batuwa and me when he wakes up?” He wondered.
“Bakura?” Duke was confused.
“Yeah.” Yugi nodded, “Remember that Yami-Marik-Bakura thing we explained to you?”
Duke thought back, “Oh, right.” He said then looked back at Ryou. “Sure, I’ll play with you and…Bakura when he wakes up.”
“Otay!” Ryou grinned cutely as he was placed back on the floor. He ran back to the couch and climbed on, then flopped down in Yugi’s lap to watch some more TV.
“Are you guys hungry or anything?” Yugi wondered, looking at his guests.
“No, I’m fine.” Duke shrugged as he sat down on the floor across from Yugi.
“I’m perfectly fine.” Mai said as she sat down on the couch beside Yugi. “What about you Tea?”
“I’m alright.” Tea said as she sat on the other couch that folded down into a bed. Mokuba sat on the opposite side from her as he began to watch Tristan and Duke duel.
Mai felt eyes on her and she looked around the room and finally rested on the chibi in Yugi’s arms. Ryou blinked at her and tilted his head for a second, before tilting it back. Mai was about to say something, but Ryou beat her to it. “Youw pwetty.” He sniffed, getting everybody’s attention.
Now, Mai had been complimented by a lot of people and was very used to it. But she’d never been complimented by a child before, and such a cute one at that. “Why, thank you sweetie.” She smiled at Ryou, causing him to smile back. With that the chibi turned to the TV again, in hopes that his other half would wake soon.

Yami yawned quietly as he opened his eyes, finding himself staring at Yugi’s alarm clock. He still couldn’t figure out how it had ended up on the floor…
Forgetting for a moment of why he was there he tried to move, only to be pinned down by a slight weight. Looking down, he found one of the white-haired chibis curled up against his side. From the angle of his view, he couldn’t tell which one it was and he didn’t want to wake the child from his nap.
The others were home; he could hear the voices coming from down the stairs. He grinned to himself as he heard Ryou’s voice. “You made Maywik cwy!” The chibi accused loudly, but the reply was too quiet to hear; though Yami did know that it was Duke.
So with the knowledge that it was Yami Bakura with him and Ryou was safe, Yami closed his eyes with nothing better to do.
Not five minutes later he felt Yami Bakura shift and the movement woke him from his slight doze. He looked down to find the child still asleep, but in the midst of a dream, and from the look upon the child’s face, it wasn’t a very nice one. Yami was about to wake the child, but as soon as he moved, Yami Bakura shot up into a sitting position and screamed.
Quickly, the pharaoh gathered the weeping child into his arms before he could even think about it. “Hey, it’s okay Bakura, it was only a dream.” He said softly, trying to calm the chibi down.
“No dweam! It was weal! It-it happened, mama…” The boy whimpered as he curled into a ball within Yami’s arms. “I want Wyou…” He mumbled as he squeezed his eyes shut.
“Will you be okay if I go get him?” Yami wondered and set the chibi down on the blankets after Yami Bakura had nodded. Within minutes he came back with Ryou, but the others had followed him as well, just to make sure the chibi was okay.
“’Ami?” Ryou questioned as he looked at Yami Bakura. He was set on the bed beside his other half and he quickly crawled over to Yami Bakura and lay beside him, wrapping his arms tightly around his yami’s body. Yami Bakura buried his face in Ryou’s chest and hugged him tightly. After a few minutes, Yami Bakura’s sobbing had stopped and he was asleep.
Ryou was still awake, but he didn’t want to leave his yami in his distress and Yami didn’t want to leave either of them alone. Seeing this, Duke volunteered to stay.
“We’d better wake the others or nobody will be able to sleep tonight.” Yugi said as he and the others left, Yugi going into the guest room to wake Marik and Malik and the others going back into the living room, leaving Duke in Yugi’s room. Yami quietly slipped into the room he’d been sharing with Yugi to wake Seto and Joey.
Inside Grandpa’s room, he found that Joey was already awake and quietly watching the CEO sleeping beside him. Carefully, Yami shook Seto’s shoulder to wake him and blue eyes fluttered open, causing Joey to grin widely and giggle.
“Eto.” Joey poked Seto’s nose.
“I’m up Jo-Jo.” Seto yawned; not realizing that Yami was in the room.
“Jo-Jo?” Yami questioned then blinked as Seto whirled around to face him.
Realizing what had woken him up, Seto relaxed slightly, “Yeah, can’t I have a nickname for him?”
Yami shook his head, “Of course you can. It suits him.” With that, the pharaoh left the room, joining the others downstairs.
“’Ami!” Marik and Malik launched themselves at him as he reached the bottom of the stairs. Luckily, he’d gotten used to their actions and caught both of them before they could topple over backwards.
“So how’d it go today Yami?” Yugi asked as he sat down on the couch again. “The chibis tire you out?” He wondered.
“I’m not going to dignify that with an answer.” Yami shook his head, “I suppose if you don’t count Ryou and Marik almost drowning, Bakura and Malik running off and Seto being buried in the sand, then they were perfect angels. Yugi, do you remember much when you were a chibi?” He asked as Malik pushed Marik out of Yami’s lap. Marik fell to the couch with a soft ‘thud’ and the spirit chibi sat up and glared at his chibi counterpart.
“A little bit. I remember going to McDonald’s…swimming, I think. And I remember having a nightmare about a scary woman who almost made me drown.” Yugi shuddered, then brightened, “Why?”
“S’e was gonna eats Wyou.” Malik replied as he swung the Millennium Rod at his yami. Marik gasped and ducked and quickly crawled off the couch and onto the floor where he stayed and pouted.
“You mean that wasn’t a dream?” Yugi wondered a frightened look in his eyes.
“Um, no, it wasn’t. I was just wondering about all you remember. I mean, what about the zoo?” Yami wondered.
“I remember something about a kangaroo and blood thirsty emus. And peacocks chasing Yami Bakura!” Yugi giggled to himself. “Oh, and I did get Pet-Penew from the zoo, but you told me that.” Yugi shrugged mentioning his bat. “Why? Is there something I should know?”
“Hmm? No.” Yami smiled and shook his head. “I was just curious.” He said as he leaned back against the couch as he took Malik’s Millennium Rod away. Malik pouted slightly but quickly got over it when Marik climbed onto the couch, seeing that the weapon was gone.
“Eto!” Joey suddenly called out then began to wail.
Seto, who was already holding the baby, began to rock him slightly, “It’s okay Jo-Jo, I’m right here.” He said softly, ignoring everyone’s stares.
“Foo!” Joey continued to scream.
“Huh?” Tea wondered out loud.
“He’s hungry.” Mai replied as Seto got up and went into the kitchen. “That or just called him a fool.” She muttered.
“Hmm…I’m getting hungry too.” Yugi realized, “Do we have any good food to eat for supper?” He wondered, looking over at Yami, realizing his mistake.
“Food?” Marik and Malik’s attention were grabbed and they both looked up curiously.
“I suppose you two are hungry too?” Yami raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah!” Malik nodded eagerly.
“I’ll go start supper.” Yugi grinned and jumped off the couch, following Seto into the kitchen.
