This chappie is dedicated to the love of my life, Dragondreamer Yami Dragon..my yami, my akutenshi….Aishiteru.

Come and Get Me!

Malik's POV

We walked to KaibaCorp. Luckily for us it wasn't bad weather. Yami did us a favor by calling Seto and warning him we were on our way over with Ryou. Aria skipped beside Bakura happily and stopped short when she saw a new doll she liked in the window. Bakura gave the same, "We'll see, sweetheart," after each time we stopped.

Ryou held my hand and walked the furthest from Bakura. Periodically, his right eye would shift to his husband and watch him intently.

We finally arrived at KaibaCorp and security let us past. We had become frequent visitors to Kaiba and the staff almost knew us by name. Aria was pleased to see Seto's secretary who always gave her a piece of candy. Ryou refused to let the woman near Aten, so she gave a second piece to my yami. "Give this to Aten later."

We rode the elevator to the floor where Seto lived. We asked a security guard where Seto and Joey were. The guard directed us to Seto's living room where Joey was cuddled next to Joey watching the business report with a cup of coffee in his hand.

Joey turned his head and almost made Seto spill his coffee. Seto didn't look too thrilled that he almost spilled his precious coffee, but was relieved when he saw Ryou walk into the room.

"Ryou!" Seto jumped up and ran to Ryou making him run behind me for protection.

Joey ran up to us and Ryou cuddled close to my back with Aten still in his arms.

"Aten!"

"Unkie Puppy! Unkie Pupy! Mommy, I want to hold Puppy!"

Aten began to struggle with Ryou.

"No, Aten. You don't want to hold him."

I stepped aside. "Ryou, maybe you should let Joey hold Aten. Joey wouldn't harm him."

Ryou shook his head. "No. I can't."

Joey looked at Seto as Ryou moved behind me again. "The mutt won't hurt Aten, Ryou. I promise."

I wondered why Ryou became so tense so quickly. Then I remembered. Joey ran to Ryou. Joey may have inadvertently startled Ryou.

"I wanna hold Unkie Puppy!" Aten cried extending his arms to Joey.

Ryou ran from behind me to behind the couch. "I won't let you hold Aten!"

"Unkie Puppy! Mommy! I wanna hug the Puppy!"

"You're gonna hurt him! I won't let you hurt him!"

We approached Ryou to try to calm him down. To our astonishment, Ryou dashed for the door and disappeared. By the time we got to the door, Ryou was gone. He had disappeared.

"What's wrong with Ryou?" Seto asked.

"He never acted that way."

Bakura shook his head. "The doctor said he has a case of Post Traumatic Syndrome. He woke up this morning not knowing who any of us are." Bakura played with the ring on his finger. "He doesn't even remember how much I love him." Bakura sighed. "He doesn't even know I married him. He doesn't remember anything."

For the first time since I knew Bakura, he looked like he was on the verge of tears. I didn't know what to say to him to make it all better.

Seto walked to the phone on his desk. "Well, we can limit his ability to leave KaibaCorp. Hello…Yes. Seal off every entrance and exit to KaibaCorp. Nobody is to leave this building. Nobody comes in and nobody comes out. Got it? Good. Get Security to look for Ryou Bakura….yes. the smooth white-haired kid. He should have Aten with him. Get going. Do NOT let him leave here under any circumstances."

Seto hung up the phone. Aria ran into the hallway. "Mommy! Mommy! Where are you?"

Bakura picked up the little upset chibi and held her.

"Where did Mommy go, daddy?"

Bakura kissed her forehead and we decided to split up to look for him.

**********************

Ryou's POV

When that kid ran towards me, I panicked. I knew him from somewhere. But I had to run. I just didn't know where. All these sights…so new….so strange. I wish I could make sense of everything. I didn't recognize any of these people. Every person I saw was a potential threat to my son whom I held tightly in my arms.

I couldn't let him go. What if one of them returned him to my father? Everyone….potential threat. Must save Aten from those threats.

I ran through the hallways and I entered the elevator when I heard the announcement that the building was closing down. Damn!

Don't struggle, Aten! I'll protect you! I'll keep you safe from harm!

I tried to decide where I could take him that would be easily protected. I reached into my pocket and found my deck that I slipped into my pocket. I was hoping that it would come in handy in case I needed to protect Aten. Good. I couldn't defend Aten by myself. I needed help. And I knew exactly what would help me.

***************************

Bakura's POV

Aria gripped onto me as Marik and I ran through the hallways like a couple of maniacs looking for Ryou. I couldn't help trembling as I called out to Ryou.

"Ryou! It's Bakura!"

Marik and I checked the library, the kitchen, and the study. Seto and Joey checked Seto's office, which was big enough in itself to check.

"If Ryou hurts Aten, Bakura, I don't know what I'll do," Marik said pulling at his hair.

"Ryou won't hurt his own son," I said as Aria nuzzled her head into my chest.

"Why is mommy acting funny, daddy?"

How could I answer that question? She's just a baby.

"Mommy is just upset. He'll be alright."

"BAKURA!" Seto and Joey ran from their office. "We just got a call from Security that they saw Ryou run into my private dueling arena."

My poor Ryou…..He must have been frightened by the security guards chasing him. As we ran there, I had no idea what I would find. I expected to find Ryou on the floor sobbing or shaking or any combination of the two.

We burst into the arena and ran down the long hallway that lead to it. When we got there, we saw Ryou standing at the far end of the dueling arena with Aten under his arm.

"MOMMY!" Aria called to Ryou struggling with me to put her down.

"Aria, stay here with daddy," I said holding her closely on the ground. "Ryou! What are you doing?" Ryou stood there with Aten swinging his arms and legs happily.

"I am protecting him from you! Nobody will ever lay their hands on Aten again!"

Marik stepped forward. "Please, Ryou! Let go of our son!"

Malik joined his yami. "Please don't hurt him!"

Joey ran to the edge of the arena once again making Ryou jump. "Ryou, let Aten go."

Ryou shook his head. "I will not let anyone harm my son again!" Ryou removed the deck from his pocket and pointed it at us. Aten let out a chibi giggle as Ryou's eyes glazed over. "IF YOU WANT HIM BACK, YOU'LL HAVE TO DUEL ME FOR HIM!"

Next Chappie: Duel between ?? and Ryou.

I will update on Wednesday. Sorry, guys. I have do an oral report on Thursday and I have tons of stuff to do!
