Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Anything For You ❯ Anzu Makes Friends With A Truck ( Chapter 3 )

Goldaries13: good luck in school, sweetie.

Ryou's Mistress: I don't mind that you're under 18. Lots of my fans are. I love looking at butterflies rather than chasing them….but it's always good to have that innocent side run and give chase.

Dragondreamer: You know it…..

Anzu makes friends with a Truck

Aria opened her eyes and saw the sunlight peeking its rays into the room. Beside her, her father snored drooling. She giggled quietly and pinched his nose as he snored making the sound come out deeper. She turned around and saw her mother, Ryou, sleeping quietly, his eyes flickering with REM sleep. Aria crawled out from between her parents and sneaked out of the room squeezing her little plushie.

She sneaked away as if she just escaped with a cookie without her parents' permission and was relishing the feeling. Aria slowly opened the door to the bedroom her brother shared with Malik and Daddy Marik. She creeped to the crib where her brother was sleeping curled up in a fetal position sucking his thumb.

"Aten?" she whispered. Aria grabbed her brother's arm and pulled it out of his mouth.

Aten's thumb left his mouth and he began to whimper in his sleep.

"Aten, wake up!"

Malik yawned and turned around to see Aria beside Aten's crib.

"Aria Kanika Itemri, it's early….why are you awake?"

"I wanna pway with Aten, but he asleep."

Malik sat up and stretched. "Well, sweetie. I'll play with you. Aten needs his sleep. Turn around, sweetheart."

Aria turned her back to Malik so he could put some clothes on. When he was dressed, he carried her downstairs. Malik yawned. It was a late night for he and Marik. They watched movies with Ryou and Bakura until early morning. But Malik was always willing to give the kids the attention when they wanted it.

Aria grabbed her dolls and a play brush. She handed Malik a blonde-haired doll.

Aria brushed her doll's black hair happily humming. Malik never played with dolls. He just followed her lead, but not before slowly closing his eyes as he brushed the doll's hair. Malik's brush strokes became weaker and weaker as his head slowly, bit by bit, dropped to his chest. Malik's brush strokes came almost to a halt as he began to drift off into sleep.

Aria looked up at him as she heard the sound of snoring come from her mom. Aria leaned over and tugged on Malik's arm startling him out of sleep. "Mom, you pwomised to pway with me, not sweep." Malik yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"Sorry, Aria….long night."

Aria grabbed a smaller doll and put it in her arms.

"Anyway, as I was saying, mom, you're pwaying with my favoritest doll, Angelica. She's got the prettiest hair. She almost looks like the lady in my dream last night."

"Lady in your dream?"

"Yeah. She has really nice white hair and she wears a really pretty dress. She calls me her baby! Last night, she pwayed with my dollies!" Aria looked up at Malik. "Mom? Are you alright?"

"Yes. What you saw….Aria…was…Ryou's mother. She called mommy her little boy. She's a nice lady."

Malik smiled. "She was, Aria."

"She hugged me and said that she loved me. Oh. She told me to tell you thank you for loving my mommy."

Malik blushed and began to brush the doll's hair.

Ryou slowly came down the stairs and found Malik playing with Aria. "Good morning, sweetheart," Ryou said kissing Aria.

"Morning, mommy! Mom and me are pwaying dollies!"

Ryou giggled. "Well, it's a shame Yami isn't here. He'd play with you."

Malik snickered. "Yami's never going to live that down, Ryou."

Marik slowly came down the stairs next, his blonde hair all spiky from his sleep. Aten was rubbing his eyes. Marik put Aten beside Aria and began to murmur, "Coffee……need coffee……"

Aten sat beside his sister and picked up a doll and began brushing its hair. Malik went to start breakfast.

"You no wake up, Aten. I twy to wake you."

"I tired," the little boy whined rubbing his eye.

Ryou walked to the edge of the steps and called up to Bakura to bring down Aten's heart medication and his own. He watched as the two year olds brushed the dolls' hair.

"So what do you want to do today, kids?"

"I wanna go for my walkies in the pack!"

"You want to go to the park today?" Ryou asked leaning down to them.

The chibis smiled and nodded. "I wanna bring my ball with me, mommy!" Aten said grabbing an oversized purple ball that his "Auntie Yami" gave to him as a present.

This ball was bigger than him, but he loved to try to climb on it. "I wanna go to the pack and find buttflies!" Aten cheered excitedly."

Ryou kissed the two chibis on the forehead and picked them up. Marik and Bakura fed them while Malik and Ryou made the breakfast.

"The babies want to go to the park today. You guys coming?"

Marik and Bakura shrugged. "Sure. We need to get out."

After breakfast Marik and Bakura cleaned up and Malik and Ryou dressed the children. They dressed Aria in a green dress and put her hair up in pony tails with green ribbons on each side of her head. She wore white sneakers and white socks with frilly lace. Aten wore black pants and a green shirt. Malik tied his hair back so as he played his long white and blonde hair wouldn't trip him. Aten grabbed the oversized purple ball and the group headed out the door.

When they headed out, they saw Kaiba pulling up in his limo with Joey. He walked to Ryou and handed him an envelope.

"What's this?"

Ryou looked in the envelope. There were two pictures. Joey was asleep on the couch, on his back, and Aten was lying on his little belly on Joey's chest. Joey's one arm was around Aten and his toy monkey was being held by the little boy. Joey's hair was buried in Aten's white and blonde hair. Seto was asleep in a chair with his feet on a coffeetable. His arms were relaxed on the chair. Aria was in one of his arms with her head on his shoulder. The other hand held her pink bunny plushie. Aria's left hand was clutching the locket around Seto's neck and she sucked the thumb of her other hand in her sleep.

"Who took these pictures?" Bakura said laughing at the tall, handsome, steadfast CEO cuddling a pink bunny plushie and a sleeping baby girl.

Seto sighed. "My little brother, Mokuba, took them. He now has them on every computer in the office with a caption, "This is why my Seto and Joey should have kids." I don't know what I'm going to do with him."

Aten jumped up and down excitedly. "Unkie Seto, did you bring my pony?"

Seto chuckled. "No, I didn't bring a pony, Aten. I brought you pictures….and candy."

Seto handed Aria and Aten a lollipop. They cuddled it and ran hugging him.

"Can I have one, too?" Joey asked with large eyes. Seto rolled his eyes and handed Joey a grape lollipop. "No, Seto. I want a Setopop!"

Seto sighed. "Not in front of the kids, you don't."

Bakura rolled his eyes. "Now you're turning out like Marik, hentai!"

"Unkie Puppy is a Entai!" Aten laughed.

Aria skipped beside Bakura holding onto his hand. Aten pushed the ball and ran after it squealing happily. The little boy didn't go too far from his parents. He bounced the ball and it flew into the air. He laughed as he caught it.

Malik and Marik held hands as they walked down the street as Marik gripped the Millenium Rod in his left hand.

Aten stopped short and dropped his ball. He ran up to a garden and looked at a tiny butterfly sitting on a flower.

"Look, daddy! Daddy! I found a pwetty buttfly! A buttfly, daddy!"

The boys snickered at Aten staring at this monarch butterfly.

"It's called a butterfly, Aten," Marik chuckled.

Aten gently scooped the butterfly onto his hand and began to lightly stroke its wings. "That's what I said, daddy! I found a buttfly! Hi, Mister Buttfly…I not gonna hurt you…Pwetty buttfly."

The butterfly fluttered its wings on Aten's small hand as the little boy caressed it gently.

"Who's my pwetty buttfly?" The butterfly flew away and Aten waved to it. "Bye, Mister Buttfly!"

Aten held onto the ball he wanted to play with when Marik suddenly grabbed his hand.

At the corner they saw something ungodly….terrifying……pointless…….

Anzu was talking to a stop sign and hugging its post. They slowly walked to the other side of the street when Aten saw a pet store and screamed excitedly, "Bunnies, daddy! I wanna bunny!"

Well, that little word "bunny" surprisingly triggered something in Anzu's tiny brain and her eyes shot wide open.

"Where's the bunny?????!!!!" Anzu screamed running towards them. Luckily for the group, the traffic light turned green. Cars sped through the street honking and running Anzu over repeatedly.

Aten and Aria screamed and clutched onto their fathers burying their faces in the pant legs. Bakura picked up Aria and held her to his chest hiding her face from Anzu getting hit by the cars.

"Speeding cars…..OUCH….is like….OUCH….friendship! OH! I think my arm is broken! This is such a fuzzy warm feeling! YEAH FRIENDHSIP!"

Aten cringed as another bump hit a car. Marik picked the little boy up. Everytime a dull bump hit a car, Aten let out a whimper and began to shake.

"OO! Now my other arm is broken! These cars are being….OUCH!…..so friendly!….OUCH! …..OH! Goodie! Here comes a truck! I wonder if ….OUCH!…it will be friends with-."

A big truck slammed into Anzu knocking her onto the pavement with a thud. Thirty brainless minutes later, she crossed the street.

The group of boys sighed in disappointment. Anzu once again lived through something no human being could live through logically. Of course, since logic was foreign to Anzu's tiny primitivistic brain, nothing she did was logical..even stuff that would kill a normal human being…she lived through. Maybe she was just too stupid.

"Do you know how much you are an idiot, Anzu?" Marik asked rubbing his whimpering child's back.

"But those cars were being friendly!"

"No…they were trying to hit you, moron," Bakura said rocking Aria.

"I heard bunnies! Where are the bunnies? I was making friends with the stop sign!"

The fathers put down the children and Anzu looked at Aria's dress and green ribbons.

"She is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Aria ran behind her mother, Ryou.

When Anzu tried to hold her, Ryou growled and grabbed Anzu's shirt. "Keep your slimy hands off my baby girl or I will show you how friendly I can be." Ryou released Anzu and held onto his daughter's hand.

Aten began to play with his ball again as they entered the park. Aten threw the ball and Aria also ran for it. The boy and girl rolled the big ball to each other giggling happily.

"I remember when we were kids, Bakura. All we had was sand. Not much to play with."

"Well, I had no time for play, Marik. I had to steal to eat. I had no time to play around like Yami."

Anzu ran after Aria with the ball and the little girl screamed. "I love playing with balls!"

Marik and Bakura looked at each other knowingly and began to hysterically laugh. They both looked at Malik and poor Malik turned 50 shades of red.

"Playing with balls is like friendship!"

Marik and Bakura laughed harder falling on the ground holding their stomachs. Aten ran back to Malik.

Ryou chased after Anzu as Aria fled from the idiotic girl in fear. "Anzu, leave my child alone!"

Ryou grabbed Anzu's wrist and pulled it. "Leave her alone! I will not let you hurt her or take her ball!"

Anzu stopped running and she looked at Ryou with a blank smile. Aria ran behind her mother. Ryou walked Aria back to her father. As Aria and Aten resumed their play with the ball, a teenager walked up to Anzu.

"Hey….cutie."

Anzu turned around to see Tim Cinetti behind her. "Hi! I don't know you! So I think you are a friendly person because I'm an idiot! Is that ok?"

Tim shifted his eyes uncomfortably. "Listen, do you know Ryou Bakura?"

"He was just yelling at me because he's my friend and he doesn't want me talking about playing with balls in front of the kiddlings! I like peanuts."

Tim scratched his head. This airhead was making no sense. "Do you know him or not?"

"Yes! He's my friend! YEAH FRIENDSHIP!"

Tim scratched his head in mental agony. "Do you know where he goes during the day? His habits?"

"Why? Do you want to be friends with him?"

Tim curled his lip in a cruel smile. "Yes. I want to be his friend."

"Well, he takes the wittle cutsie wootsie babies to the park and the stores and the kids play in the back yard and IT'S SO CUTE WHEN THEY PLAY BECAUSE IT'S LIKE FRIENDSHIP!"

Tim scratched his ear from the girl's eardrum-piercing scream. "Does Ryou leave the kids alone so I can play with them someday?"

"Sometimes they play in the back yard alone. I like to run up to them while Ryou's not watching in the back yard and hug them soooooooooooooooooooooo tightly!!!!!!!!!!!"

Tim smiled. "Well, that's sweet. I wanna hug them too. Do me a favor, lady…don't tell Ryou that I asked you anything. OK?"

Tim slipped her a twenty dollar bill and she smiled at it.

"OO! This money is friendly! It's green! Green is a friendly color! Yeah friendship!"

Tim walked away shaking his head in disbelief that any human being could be such a ditz.

Anzu returned to Marik and Malik sitting under a tree. Marik had his arm around the sleeping Malik.

Anzu leaned down and whispered gently in Marik's ear. "Aww….is Malik sleepy because he's friendly?"

Marik shoved her away and rolled his eyes. "No," he said whispering back, "You disease-ridden parasite. He's sleepy because he's not feeling well. He just got over a cold, ok? He's tired. So let…him….sleep."

Anzu gave a patented blank stare as her brain tried to process so much information. It took a lot of energy from her just to listen for a split second without thinking about friendship. It took A LOT of energy to slow down her slow-paced mind.

"He looks so cute," she whispered. "Like friendship. Hmm…." Malik slowly nuzzled his cheek into Marik's chest. A small smile graced his face and he gripped onto his yami's shirt. "Sleeping is like friendship….."

Ryou rolled his eyes and sat down on the grass. Aten rolled the ball to him and he rolled the big ball to Aria.

Ryou could swear he saw Aria's little spiky hair give Aten a signal of some kind. Without warning, Aria and Aten ran to Ryou and jumped on top of him laughing and tickling. Aten playfully tugged at Ryou's shirt while his sister assaulted him with tickling all over his belly and his chest.

Ryou's laughter diminished to hoarse little chuckles. He took one child in each arm and squeezed them in a tight hug. Bakura left Marik's side and scooped Aria up and planting little kisses on her cheek.

Anzu jumped up and down making certain parts of her bounce that should never move in the first place. "OOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KISSES ARE LIKE FRIENDSHIP!"

Malik was jolted from his sleep on Marik's shoulder. Marik winced as Malik's fingernails dug into him. Anzu ran to Ryou and the kids with her arms outstretched.

Ryou's eyes narrowed and he put the kids behind him. When Anzu got too close, Ryou jumped at her with a hard tackle. Bakura, Marik, and Malik watched stunned as Ryou bit and tore at Anzu. Aten and Aria watched in complete surprise.

"Being….torn…apart….OUCH! YEEAH! PAIN!……is like….friendship!"

Bakura was surprised at the ferocity that Ryou displayed when his babies were in danger of possibly being hugged to death by Anzu. He ran up to Ryou and had to drag his lover off of the giggling moron. When Ryou was removed, he took Aria and Aten's hand and took them back to Malik and Marik.

"We're leaving," Ryou said leading the kids away. Anzu followed after them much to Ryou's annoyance.

Timothy followed them and the braindead girl talking about puppies and kitties. The group walked down the block until Anzu got distracted by a construction site. Anzu wanted to go make certain all the men were being friendly to each other as they worked and she ran from the group. No one cared.

Tim followed them to their house and watched them go inside. Tim left and returned home to Steven.

Steven was cuddled up with Jessica on the couch.

"Steve, I found out all you needed to know."

"We have to do this precisely at the right time. We can't stay here, either. Bakura will find us for sure. We need to find another place to hide the brats."

Tim leaned against the wall. "I think I know a perfect place. Me and my buds hang out there. It will be no problem."

Steven smiled and kissed Jessica. "We'll be one happy family, won't we? I talked to my brother Ryan and he said we could stay at his place. He lives a few hours drive away. He said he'll take us in."

"Does he know about Ryou?"

"I told him everything."
"And?"

Steven caressed Jessica's shoulder. "He said he'll help me help my kid. He's a good man….he's very righteous. Tim, my boy, go make sure we have everything we need. We don't need those little kids squirming through our clutches like the rats they are. What a…perfect family we will be!"

Next Chappie: Ryou gets word of Steven.
