Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Anything For You ❯ Sugar High ( Chapter 43 )

Dragondreamer: Mmm…tunnel of love, you, me and our husband…so great!

Ryou's Mistress: You know, you're right. Sorry. Marik was shot, then fell off the horse, then died. My bad. Sorry. I was distracted. Thanks for pointing that out.

Gralnak: She is..she really is.

Lupusdragon: eww……*thinks of naked Bakura* there we go…much better.

Mystical Dragon: mmm..lemon

Heather: I don't watch Jackass. Can't get into that for some reason. Oh…I love Final fantasy VII!!! I'm playing it now. I got up to where Cloud goes into his Mako poisoning! Poor Cloud. Hmm…I like Cid x Vincent, Cloud x Vincent, Cloud x Sephiroth. Actually, everyone with Vincent and Sephy is hotness personified. I even like Vincent x Sephy together. I'm well aware of the debate if Vinnie is Sephy's father, but that pairing doesn't bother me at all.

Iyashi: Yeah, He'll forget eventually.

Sugar High

Aria sat on the new Oriental rug in the study. She was humming to herself

quietly as she brushed the Dark Magician Girl's long, blonde hair. The

little chibi brushed back her spiky hair as she continued to comb the doll

that Seto bought for her as a present from Yugi's shop. Aria looked up to

see her brother curled up beside Joey's foot. Aten's left arm curled around

Joey's leg clutching onto it tightly. The chibi was sucking his thumb with

his body almost completely pressed against his uncle.

"Aten, you gonna wove this place! When Unkie Seto tooks me before, we wode

on horsies! It was awot of fun! You wanna wide the horsies, too?"

Aten nodded quietly.

"Unkie Puppy had awot of fun on the horsies, too! Unkie Puppy? When are we

weaving?"

Joey looked up from his romance book he was still trying to read. "Uncle

Seto has some work to do."

"Why?"

"So he can make money."

"Why?"

"So he can afford to take us to the park."

"Why?"

Joey growled internally. "So we can have fun."

Aria giggled noticing the frustration in Joey's voice. "Why?"

Joey growled and before he could react, Malik came into the room much to his

relief. "Malik, how do you do it?"

Malik raised an eyebrow at Joey tugging at his hair in frustration. "Do

what?"

"Raise these kids!"

Marik walked into the room and Aten's eyes lit up. He left Joey to run to

his father. Marik picked him up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Aten,

you wanna talk to me?"

Aten shook his head.

"Hey, mutt."

Joey covered his ears. "My name is Joey! Not mutt! Not doggie! I'm not

answering until you call me by my name!"

Marik sighed. "Hey, Joey-mutt. Has Aten said anything to you?"

Joey shrugged. "Nope. He's been sitting quietly."

Aria ran up to Malik and wrapped her arms around his leg. "Mom, is Unkie

Seto weady yet?"

"Almost."

Aria jumped up and down excitedly. "Can I bring Jessie and my Dark Mishin

Girl with me?"

"Sure you can, sweetie. Just don't lose them, ok?"

//Tenshi, I need to talk to Joey. Can you take the kids to Seto? Maybe we

can pull moneybags away from his work if we fill Aria full of sugar.//

/What good will that do?/

//Nothing. I just want to see how Seto can handle a chibi on a sugar high.//

Malik took Aten from Marik's arms. The chibi gave a little whimper, but

clutched onto Malik, snuggling against Malik's chest.

Malik walked out with Aria skipping happily. Marik walked to Joey sitting on the couch.

Joey looked up into the amythyst eyes above him. "What?"

Marik sat beside Joey gripping the Millenium Rod tightly. "Something's wrong with Aten."

"How so?"

"Aten was quiet…that's not like him."

Joey scratched his hair. "So, what's wrong with `em?"

"He won't talk to me, Bakura, Malik, or Ryou. He sticks with me all the time. I don't mind, but he's getting too…clingy."

Joey narrowed his eyes. "What makes you think he will talk to me, Rod-boy?"

Marik took Joey's shirt in his fists. "Look here, Wheeler, my son isn't talking and I don't know what's wrong with him. I don't like to see him like this. Now, I want you to talk to him because I know he is as close to you as he is to me. Try to talk to him. You got that, Doggie-boy, or am I going to have to show you just what exactly I can do with this rod?"

Marik put the point of the Millenium Rod below Joey's jaw. "Now, are you gonna talk to my son, or am I going to have to use this on you the same way I did to Tim?"

Joey shook nervously. "Nope…I'll talk to him."

Marik's lip curled into a smile and he pat Joey's head. "Good doggie." Marik walked out of the room pulling Joey out of the room with him.

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

Aria reached into the bowl again on Seto's desk. Aten was standing by the window looking down into the street. From forty floors above, he watched the cars and people move along like tiny ants. Malik kneeled beside him pointing out the buildings.

"See that tall, white building, Aten? That's where you were born. See that tiny yellow building? That's Auntie Yami and Uncle Yugi's Game Shop. Isn't the city pretty?"

Aten put his hand on the glass and looked into the horizon nodding.

Seto leaned back and turned around in his chair. "Well, I told you to buy that stock! Now look at the profits we could have had!

Aria grabbed a handful of candy and shoved them into her mouth with greed. Seto hung up on his accountant angrily and gasped when he noticed the candy bowl empty. He looked up and Aria was licking her chocolate coated fingers.

"Aria Kanika! Did you eat my entire bowl of candy??"

Aria giggled and brushed back her hair. "My yami made me do it!"

Seto's eyes widened. "Aria, you do not have a yami!"

Aria giggled and jumped on her Unkie Seto. "Unkie Seto, are we gonna weave now? I wanna pway with my bwother on the horsies and the cawwosel and the wog wide and the pwane wide which goesw weaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwyyy high! And I wanna a bawwoon! Unkie Seto!" Aria jumped up and down in his arms. "Can we get a bawwoon for mommy and daddy since they not gonna be there? That will make mommy weawwy happy! Can we? Can we? Can we?"

Seto covered Aria's mouth lightly and she continued to chatter. "Malik?"

Malik turned around. "What?" One look at the chibi and the now-empty bowl tipped Malik right off. "Aria?"

"I thought you were supposed to be watching her, Malik."

"Me? I was watching Aten by the window."

Aria giggled and rubbed her chocolate face in Seto's hand covering Seto's hand in chocolate. Seto grunted and tried to block her, but Aria's hands made their way to Seto's cheeks making chocolate smears on his face. Aria jumped down from his arms. She ran to Malik tugging on his jeans. "Mom, I wanna wide the horsies! You gonna come, Mom? Huh? Huh? Huh? Are ya? Mom? Huh?"

"Aria, you're getting chocolate on my jeans! Yes, I'm going, baby!"

Aria cheered and ran around in circles. Seto watched her run around in circles rubbing his forehead. Marik burst in the room pulling Joey into the room.

"Daddy Marik!" Aria ran to him with open arms and open hands. Marik's glare made her stop in her tracks.

"Aria Kanika, why are your hands dirty, young lady?"

"She got into the chocolate. Come here, Aria," Seto said calmly. The chibi ran to Seto who pulled out a packet of damp wipes.

"Why do you have them in your desk?" Marik asked.

"With Aria and Aten here so often, and Aria's ability to get into anything, I thought these would be a good idea."

Seto cleaned up the chibi's face and her hands with the damp cloths. Aria looked up at Seto with big chibi eyes. "Sowwy, Unkie Seto. I didn't mean to eat all your dewicious candy. When I gwow up, I'w buy you more candy."

Seto bit his lip to fight back both the tears from his eyes and his laughter. Seto smiled and Aria smiled with him. Seto gave the little chibi a hug. "Don't worry about it. There's more candy where that came from."

Aria giggled and wrapped her arms around Seto's arm. "I wove you, Unkie Seto!"

Seto rubbed the chibi's hair. "I love you, too, sweetie. What do you say we go?"

"YEAH!"

Seto handed her the cell phone. "Tell Salizar to get the helicopter ready."

Seto dialed the number and gave it to Aria. He listened to it ring.

/Hello?/

"Saizar, my Unkie Seto wants the hellcopper weady! We're going to the pway park!"

//The what?//

"Hellcopper! That thingy! Wisten to me! Hell-copper!"

//OH!!! The HELICOPTER!//

"Yes. Get the hellcopper weady for us, pwetty pwease??? Ok, I love you, Bye bye!"

Aria handed the phone to Seto.

"Saying please and thank you is good, Aria, but it's not really necessary to tell your employees you love them"

"Well, I just wanted to say it! I wanted to make him feel good."

Seto couldn't help curving his lips in a smile. He stood up and reached out his hand for Aria's. "Shall we, Aria?"

Aria took Seto's hand. "You're funny, Unkie Seto!"

Seto walked holding Aria's hand. Marik and Joey approached Aten still looking out of the window.

Joey kneeled down. "Aten?"

Aten turned to his Unkie Puppy.

"Aten, are you ready to go?"

With a nod, he reached for Joey's hand. Marik took Aten's other hand.

"Let's go, son. Time to go."

Aten looked back at the window as they walked away.

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

The park was in the process of adding airshows to their features, so Seto's helicopter had a place to land. Seto gave the money to Aria and lifted her up so she could pay the manager of the park.

"Here you go, Mister Man! Take the nice money!"

The manager chuckled and pat the chibi on the head. "Cute kid..she yours, Mr. Kaiba?"

Seto shook his head. "Nah, she's a friend's kid. I don't have any of my own."

Seto heard Joey heave along, sad sigh behind him.

"Enjoy, Mr. Kaiba."

"We will, Mister Man! Thank you!" Aria said running towards the gate happily.

Marik leaned down to Aten. "You want to go frolic with your sister?"

Aria ran to the gate and waved to Aten to run to her. Joey gave him a light tap and he started to run to her. When they ran into the park, Aten's eyes went wide at the sight of all the rides, sounds, and lights. He ran to Joey and clutched onto his leg.

"It's ok, Aten."

"Puppy……"

Joey kneeled down and hugged the chibi clinging to Joey for dear life. "I'll be right here for you, Aten."

"I wanna get a bawoon!"

Seto took Joey's hand. "We'll get one before we leave. What do you say to some rides?"

Aria's jaw dropped and she took Seto's other hand trying to pull him. "Come on, Unkie Seto! I wanna ride the pwane wide!"

Seto was pulled to the plane ride by the excited chibi. The little girl ran into the plane which would only lifted a foot off of the ground. Marik and Joey put Aten into his own plane. When the ride began, Aria's arms flew up and she screamed "WEEEEEEEE!!! I'M FRYING SO HIGH! We'll be able to fwy into the sky!"

Aten looked down at the ground as the ride went in circles.
"Aten, sweetie, keep your head in the ride."

Aten continued to hang his head out the window.

"Aten! Put your head inside the ride, son!"

Aten looked up. Malik and Marik waved. Aten smiled and looked up into the sky.

The little girl called out to Seto. "Lookie, Unkie Seto! I'm frying! You're so far away! You look so tiny from way up here!"

When the ride ended, Aria skipped back to Seto. "DID YOU SEE ME? DID YOU SEE ME? I was frying super high! When I gwow up, I wanna be a piwot and fry a big plane! I can even fry a hellcopper!"

Seto tried not to reach out and squeeze Aria with hugs until she couldn't breathe. "You can do anything you want. I can even buy you a hellcopper if you want."

"REAWWY? I HAVE THE BESTEST UNKIE IN THE WORLD!" Aria hugged Seto tightly.

Aten wandered to the helium filled house nearby. Aten let out a squeal and everyone raised their heads. Aten was clawing at the house trying to climb in. Joey and Marik ran over and removed his shoes. They lifted the little boy into the inflated house. Aten crawled in and lost his footing as he tried to run. He crawled over to the corner and curled up sucking his thumb and closing his eyes.

"Aten, you're supposed to jump in it," Joey called to Aten. Aten shrugged and continued to stay curled up in the tiny house. Aria ran over.

"Is my bwother in there?"

Aten's body rose and fell slowly.

"He fell asleep…" Marik said surprised.

Seto and Malik looked into the house where Aten was at the back of the ride in the corner fast asleep in the soft confines of the corner.

"Someone's going to have to go after him," Malik said.

"Don't let Marik go. He may puncture the ride with his Rod."

Joey kicked off his shoes and climbed into the house watching it shake.

"Be careful, Joey," Malik warned.

Joey bit his lip and unsteadily crawled to the corner. Joey reached the sleeping baby and gently rubbed the side of Aten's hair.

"Poor kid….why won't you tell us what is wrong?"

Aten opened his eyes to see Joey. "Puppy……" The boy reached out for Joey and clung to his green shirt. Joey cupped one arm under Aten and crawled out of the ride.

"Are you tired, Aten?"

Aten shook his head. "Puppy…"

They put Aten's shoes on.

"Aten, do you wanna pway in the house wide?" Aria asked.

Aten shook his head and pointed to the carousel.

"Let's go wide horsies, Unkie Seto!"

Seto picked up Aria and Marik picked up Aten. Seto and Joey sat at a safe distance from Marik and Malik.

Aria played with the reigns as the boys stood on either side of her. The ride began and Joey sighed.

"You know, puppy, this ride is never going to be the same. Not after last time."

Joey looked into Seto's gorgeous sapphire eyes. "Seto, we have to talk."

Seto shrugged. "About what?"

"Remember at the gate you said you didn't have a kid of your own?" Seto nodded. "Does that bother you?"

Seto sighed. "Well, it does…and it doesn't. It doesn't because I'm happy taking care of Mokuba. He can be a handful when he gets going. Remember when he put pictures of us cuddling Aten and Aria as the wallpaper on all of the computers saying that `this is why Seto and Joey deserve kids'?"

"Yeah. I do. But, he's a good kid…when he's not getting into your secret candy stash."

"Well, I do because…I think it would be good for us, Joey. There's plenty of love to go around."

"But, are we old enough to adopt?"

"Hmm….well, that's a matter of writing out a check to Social Services. No problem."

Joey leaned forward. "What if you can't pay them off?"

"Then we wait."

Joey bit his lip. "I don't want to wait, Seto! I think it would be really good for us! Money isn't an issue and we both love Aria and Aten."

Seto nodded. "True. We can't have kids of our own. This is the only way."

Joey nodded and Seto took Joey's hand behind Aria. "Joey? Puppy? Do you want to adopt a baby?"

Their eyes met and Joey smiled. "You mean it, Seto? You wanna adopt a kid together?"

"We'll be the best fathers this kid will ever have! What do you say?"

Joey smiled and leaned forward into Seto's ear. "I would love it, Seto."

Seto kissed Joey gently on the lips and the two lovers hugged each other as Aria jumped up and down on her horse. "GIDDY UP!"

The ride ended and Aten rubbed his tummy looking up at Joey. "Puppy…"

Joey looked down at the purple and brown-eyed chibi who rubbed its belly. "You hungry?" Aten nodded.

They got a bag of popcorn and they gave the chibis a handful to eat. A flock of birds landed and Aten watched the birds cock their heads at him. Aten walked up to them cautiously and threw a few pieces of popcorn at the birds. When the birds clamored for the treat, he smiled.

"OHHHHHHHHH BIRDIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Aten looked up and saw Anzu running towards the birds with her arms stretched. Aten reached out for a small bird and cuddled it running back to Marik and Joey.

"I love birdy-boos! Birds are like friendship! YEAH FRIENDSHIP!"

Aria ran to Malik and clutched her popcorn tightly. Marik and Seto let out irritated growls.

"What are you doing here?" Marik snorted.

"I was told by my bossie-wossie to come to workie poo so I can get money which is friendly!"

Aten timidly chewed on a popcorn.

"Your money isn't friendly, Anzu."

"But it is! Money is like friendship!"

The group brought their bag of popcorn with them as they walked. Anzu followed them. "I love friends and friendship! Rides are like friendship!"

Aten began to cry as he walked beside Joey. Joey picked him up and rocked him.

"Anzu, you are scaring Aten!"

"No I'm not!"

Seto turned to Anzu. "Just….shut…..up."

Anzu smiled blankly at Seto. Without warning, she wrapped her arms around him. "I LOVE YOU, SETO! I WANNA HAVE YOUR LITTLE SETOS!"

Seto cringed and shoved her away. He picked up Aria and continued to walk until they came to the Tunnel of Love. Marik took Malik's hand.

"Joey, Aten seems reluctant to leave you. Why don't you take him with you and Seto?"

Joey sat with Aten and Aria sat beside Seto. Aria cuddled beside Seto.

"I wove you, Unkie Seto."

"Me, too, sweetie."

Malik and Marik sat in a boat by themselves a couple of boats away. Anzu, unfortunately, decided to ride. She was in another boat behind Malik and Marik.

The boats entered the dark tunnel and Marik smiled as he sat beside his hikari.

//Well….it's been a while since we've done this, hikari-tenshi.//

/Yeah. It's been too long./

//Finally….we are alone.//

Marik reached to Malik's jeans.

//……Yami…what are you doing?……oh…….Do you think that's wise? Gods…..//

Aria smiled and heard a moan behind her a few boats away. She knew it was Malik.

"Mom, are you pretending to be a ghost?"

/Yami…Aria's gonna know what we are…….don't stop..yami…./

Malik let out another moan and a groan.

"Mom's being a ghost! I can be a ghost, too! OOOOOO!!!!!! Lookie, Unkie Seto, I'm a big scawy ghost like mom! Mom! Are you having fun?"

"YES! YES!"

"Yeah! Mom and Daddy Marik are both having fun!"

Seto bit his lip trying not to laugh at the innocence of the girl and the opportunity of the yami to take advantage of his hikari in such a public place.

"TUNNELS OF LOVE ARE LIKE FRIENDSHIP! MARIK AND MALIK ARE BEING FRIENDS AGAIN!"

A whimper was heard from Malik and Aria giggled. "Mom is afwaid of the dark."

When the ride was almost over, Marik released Malik and removed a tissue from his hand. Aten was asleep in Joey's arms.

Marik stepped off of the ride and growled. "That's it!" Marik took Anzu and lifted up the lid of a trashcan. He threw her into the trash can and replaced the lid.

"It smells...like the sweet smell of friendship!" Anzu's voice was muffled by the trashcan.

"Garbage is like friendship! YEAH FRIENDSHIP!"

Marik put a cinderblock on the lid so she couldn't find her way out. He picked up the sleeping Aten and kissed the chibi.

"Let's go home, son."

Seto turned to Marik. "Don't tell me you and Malik…."

Marik snickered as he held his son.

"Great…now I gotta have the Tunnel of Love cleaned."

"Wouldn't be the first time I did it in the tunnel of love, Seto."

Seto wrinkled his nose. "Ewww….."
