Part Ten

Malik's Worst Nightmare

After sneaking out of the kitchen window the three escapees' ran toward the park, the same park that they had been at when Tea was a chibi. The older two knew that they'd have to keep the younger one occupied somehow and knew that there were a lot of things to do at the park.

"Just no sacrifices." Yami Bakura mumbled and Yami Yugi was quick to agree. The weather wasn't all that great, the sky was covered with dark gray clouds, but the trio wasn't about to let the threat of rain ruin their fun. When they reached the park they found that there was hardly a soul in sight, only a few kids who were much older than Ryou and the brats who had tied the two yamis to trees.

"I think we're safe." Yami sighed with relief as he and Yami Bakura sat down in the sand. Ryou took to it right away and began to play in the stuff. "I meant to ask." Yami spoke again, looking down at the little boy. "Where's his ring?" He wondered.

"Right here." Yami Bakura revealed that he was wearing both of the Millennium Rings under his shirt. "It dragged on the floor when he walked and he tripped over it so I just took it off of him this morning."

Yami nodded as they watched Ryou get up and run to a small slide. "I'll probably have to do the same thing when it's Yugi's turn." He suddenly looked at the tomb robber. "I know you've changed…but don't try to take the puzzle when I'm a chibi." He said.

Yami Bakura nodded.

"And keep Kaiba away from me." Yami said, "I don't trust his word of honour."

Yami Bakura tried not to laugh, but nodded anyway.

"The Millennium Puzzle and the Millennium Ring, all in the same place. Is this my lucky day or what?" A voice said from behind the two and they both looked to find Malik Ishtar standing there with his hands on his hips and an evil smile on his face.

The two looked back at Ryou who was climbing up the slide again. "That shirt makes him look gay." Yami Bakura mumbled about Malik.

"Yeah, but it still looks good." Yami pointed out.

"Oh, I didn't say it looked bad. I'm just pointing out that we hide the fact and he's practically flaming." Yami Bakura shrugged.

"Come on Yugi, Bakura, hand over the items and nobody will get hurt." Malik growled, obviously not noticing that it was not Yugi, or Bakura.

"For someone who's supposed to be evil, he sure is dense." Yami Bakura sighed as he stood up.

"He's not evil…just misunderstood." Yami replied as he too stood up. They both turned to face Malik.

The platinum haired Egyptian had noticed that Yugi was taller than usually, and Bakura had an evil smirk on his face. "Damn it. Of all the days, I get stuck attacking their yamis." Malik sighed but just as he was about to say something else, something launched itself into his arms.

Catching the creature Malik stared down into big brown eyes. "Unca Mawik!" A tiny voice squealed as small, yet surprisingly strong arms wrapped themselves around Malik's neck.

Malik realized that this creature was in fact a little boy. A little boy with white hair and brown eyes. He looked at Yami Bakura and looked back down at the little boy. "Is this some kind of joke?" He wondered.

"No, no joke at all." Yami Bakura replied. "Ryou…ahem, Uncle Malik came here to play with you." He said and Ryou grinned.

"Ryou?" Malik was surprised.

"Come pway Unca Mawik! I wanna buwy you in the sand!" Ryou jumped to the ground and dragged Malik over to the sand.

"I'll get you for this tomb raider." Malik glared as the evil little child yanked him some more.

"Okay, I think you guys can come out…now." Yugi peered into the kitchen to find it empty. His eyes caught the flapping drapes. "Um, guys, I think we have a problem." He sighed. "Both Yami Bakura and Yami are gone, and I think they took Ryou with them!"

"Good, three less annoying people to worry about." Kaiba growled as he went back to his almost completed laptop.

"Come on Kaiba, it's going to storm out soon, we gotta find them." Joey interrupted, "I'm gonna call Tristan, he can help." He said as he went to the phone in the kitchen.

Yugi noticed that Kaiba had sighed, and it wasn't an annoyed sigh either.

"It's getting pretty windy, do you think we should save Malik from any more torture?" Yami asked as he looked over at the giant pile of sand. The only clue that it was Malik was that his head was sticking out.

"Perhaps." Yami Bakura sighed as it started to rain. Not only did it start to rain, but it started to pour. "Oh great, I just know that Ryou's going to catch a cold and die." He spat as he and the pharaoh raced toward the pile of sand.

"Hmm…it's just too bad that never happened with Tea." Yami mumbled as they reached the pile of sand. Yami Bakura scooped up a soaking wet Ryou and they were about to leave when Malik stopped them.

"I don't believe this! You're just going to leave me here?" He screeched, forcing Ryou to cover his ears.

"It would be a waste of a pretty face if he drowned." Yami pointed out.

"Of course it would be getting rid of one of our enemies too." Yami Bakura pointed out.

"True. But again, we gave you another chance, and we continue to give Kaiba chances." Yami replied.

"Yeah, but I changed and that's because Joey's got a crush on Kaiba." Yami Bakura muttered.

They both sighed, knowing that they couldn't just leave Malik to drown. So after setting Ryou down Yami Bakura and Yami went over to Malik. "We're giving you an ultimatum. You try to steal our items and Bakura here will send you to the Shadow Realm without your precious Rod." Yami blinked, then looked at Yami Bakura, "How wrong did that actually sound?"

"Very." Yami Bakura nodded, but then grinned, "Or we can get along and go find a place to take shelter."

Malik growled. "Fine! But you two are going to explain about this." He motioned toward Ryou who stood shivering in the rain.

"Yeah, yeah whatever." Yami Bakura growled as the two of them dug Malik out.

"My place isn't far." Malik replied as he stood up and let the rain wash the sand away. He could feel it in a few uncomfortable places and he couldn't help but make a face.

"Alright, let's go." Yami said as Yami Bakura plucked a frozen Ryou off the ground.

"I-I'm c-code." Ryou whimpered as Yami Bakura tucked him under his shirt. It wasn't much, but it was all that he had.

"I know, we'll get you dry soon." Yami Bakura promised as the three of them ran down the street toward Malik's place.

"Where could they be in a storm like this?" Yugi sighed as he and Joey raced around the park. Kaiba and Tristan had gone looking around the school yard, for some reason, Kaiba hadn't wanted to be alone around Joey…but all the same, Mokuba had stayed at the game shop, just in case they returned.

"I dunno." Joey said as he suddenly tripped on a big pile of sand. He sat up and rubbed his head. "Damn it." He mumbled as he jumped to his feet. Now, not only was he wet but he was covered with sand, and some of the grains had found there way into uncomfortable places. Joey made a face.

Yugi sighed in frustration. "Come on, we'll go back to the shop, maybe they've already returned." He suggested, hoping against hope that it was true. He had tried to contact Yami through their link, but it had been closed ever since the spell had taken affect. It probably had something to do with the fact that neither Yami nor Yami Bakura could return to their items.

Malik finally stopped laughing. "I have to see you and Yami as chibis! Oh my god!" He began to laugh again.

"You is mean!" Ryou shivered as he sat in Yami Bakura's lap, wrapped up in a towel. He was the only one who didn't have clothes on, though because it was Malik's attire, Yami and Yami Bakura were happy to keep the towels wrapped around them.

"How can such a cute kid have such a big mouth?" Malik rolled his eyes, but suddenly had a naked chibi in his lap.

"Don't call me cute!" Ryou hissed and before he could do anything, Yami Bakura grabbed him back and wrapped his towel around Ryou since the little boy's had fallen to the floor.

"He doesn't like to be called cute." Yami pointed out the obvious, but he knew Malik was dense and needed it to be said out loud.

"I see." Malik raised an eyebrow, then shook his head.

They were the only one's in the house, and that was probably for the best. Neither Yami nor Yami Bakura wanted anyone else to see them in the clothes they had on, nor did they want to explain Ryou to anyone else either. The power had long since gone out, but Malik had candles and the fireplace lit.

Sighing to himself, Malik got up and reached back where he kept his Millennium Rod tucked in his pants. Ooh, they were right, that does sound wrong. But the Rod was no longer there. "What the hell?" He turned around, looking on the floor to see if he had dropped it.

"Looking for something?" Yami asked.

"Yeah, I lost my Rod!" Malik growled in annoyance as Yami Bakura and Yami began to laugh at his statement. "The Millennium Rod you morons!"

"You mean this?" Ryou held up the Rod, which he had grabbed when he had jumped on his `uncle' Malik.

"You little thief!" Malik stormed over as Yami Bakura protected Ryou. "Give it back!" Malik held out his hand.

"No! You is a meany-head!" Ryou hissed and jumped down from Yami Bakura's arms and ran out of the room.

"Naked Chibi on the loose!" Yami laughed as he fell back on the couch as Malik growled and ran after the small boy. He looked at Yami Bakura; "Looks like Bakura picked up some of your bad habits."

Yami Bakura couldn't help but smile at the thought of his innocent hikari taking after him. "Hmm." Was the only thing he said before there was a crash, followed by crying.
