Background notes: Aku is Ryou's other yami. In Anything For You, Ryou was kidnapped by his father along with Aten. Ryou was subjected to NCS at the hands of two of his father's friends…including his own father. Aku was created by the anger, hatred, and humiliation he was subjected to while he was kidnapped. Aku first appeared in "Anything For You" Also written by me.

[…..]-Ryou's Other yami…Aku

Birthday Party

Yugi and Yami organized the birthday party for Aria and Aten. They were all covered in either pink or blue teddy bear wrapping paper and big bows.

Joey and Hayden put the snacks on the table. Seto, of course, spared no expense: chips, dips, cheese curls, pretzels, soda, juice, tea, coffee, hamburgers, hot dogs, fresh cut vegetables, Jello, pudding, and……M&M's for Aria. Mokuba placed the punch on the table and the plates, knives, and spoons.

Seto made certain that the kids had toys to play with and that the decorations were just right.

Ryou carried Aria on his shoulders as the chibi covered her eyes for the surprise. Aten sat in Malik's arms with his face buried in Malik's chest. The fathers, Bakura and Marik were felt to carry the final birthday presents for their children. The yamis' faces were hidden behind the mountain of presents.

Everyone stood by the presents and Aria put down the chibi with the white, spiky hair. Malik put Aten on his feet and she kneeled beside the tan chibi with white and blond hair.

"Open your eyes, sweethearts," Ryou whispered as their eyes lit up at the mountain of presents. They looked at the table of food and everyone yelled, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ATEN AND ARIA!"

Aria bolted for Seto with her arms opened wide. He little spiky hair flew everywhere as she ran. "thank you, Unkie Seto!" Aria wrapped her arms around his legs tightly. "Thank you! Thank you! OO! I smell M's, Unkie Seto. Where are the M's??"

Aten walked calmly to Seto and smiled. "Tankoo, Unkie Seto." The Egyptian chibi wrapped his arms affectionately around Seto's other leg.

Seto ruffled the chibis' hair and Aria darted off to Yami and Yugi by the presents.

"Did I gets watts of peasants, Unkie Yugi? I was a weawwy good girl!"

Yugi smiled with his bright eyes, "You and Aten got a lot of presents.

Aria took a present and shook it. "I wonner what this is! What's this, Auntie Yami?"

Yami sighed and groaned. "Unkie Yami! I am not Auntie Yami!"

Aria nodded. "Uh-huh you are, Auntie! You allays be my Auntie Yami!"

Yami walked away calmly before he could start a fight over being called "Auntie."

Aten grabbed a ball and walked to Hayden. "Come on, Aiden. Wets pay ball! You wun affer it!" Aten said stepping back slowly.

The five year old red haired chibi looked over at Seto and Joey, who were talking to Ryou. Hayden looked at Mokuba trying to distract Aria from the M&M's so others could have some.

"Umm……I have to go ask Unkie Seto if I can play." Hayden ran over to Seto. He stayed there quietly until Seto was finished talking. "Sir? May I ask you a question?"

Seto and Joey looked down at their red-haired adopted chibi. "What is it, son?" Joey asked calmly.

Hayden looked down to avoid Joey's eyes. "Umm…May I ask your permission to play ball with Aten, Mr. Kaiba? I'll be quiet so you may talk."

Aten looked up at Seto and Ryou with his large right brown eye and his large left purple eye. A bright smile crossed his face. "Can-ee pay, mommy?"

Seto kneeled down to Hayden with a sigh. He put a soothing hand on Hayden's shoulder. "Hayden, please don't call me `Mr. Kaiba.' Call me Seto or dad or daddy or….whatever. Also, you don't have to ask permission to play."

Ryou hugged Aten. "Just don't over-do it, son. Have fun."

Hayden nodded. "Ok. So, can I go play, sir?"

Seto nodded. "Have fun."

Hayden and Aten strolled to the field. "Wow. My tisser and I pay tometimes, but see is weawwy good."

Aten started to dash off, but immediately slowed down and panted. Hayden was by his side rubbing his back.

Hayden looked over at Aria running circles around Seto's legs, jumping and clawing to get his attention. The spiky-haired chibi scared him. The first time he met her, she snarled at him and showed him her canines. She reminded him of his abusive uncle's big dog that chased him around and attacked him. She wanted Seto and Joey to herself, and it was more than once since Hayden arrived that Aten stood up to his sister in Hayden's defense.

Joey walked up to Ryou. "Poor little guy. How has he been?"

Ryou sighed and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Well, the doctor has him on some strong medication now three times a day. I made sure he had some medicine and a nap before he came."

Joey grabbed a handful of pretzels. "How do you think he'll adjust to school?"

Marik chewed on a handful of chips. "My son will be fine, puppy. We have a meeting with his teacher before school starts. "

Joey looked back at Aten panting in the open field. Marik sounded confident, but he had to wonder how confident Marik really was in his belief that Aten would `be fine.'

The thin child stood up and threw the ball at Hayden. Hayden caught it and rolled it back to Aten. Aten couldn't catch the ball and tripped over his shoelaces. Hayden helped Aten up and whimpered as he limped back to Marik.

Marik looked down and saw his son with tears in his eyes.

"Daddy? *sniff* I falled and it my key on de gas. *sniff*"

Marik kneeled down and rubbed the sore, red knee. He gave it a kiss and saw the offending lace untied. "Aten, can you tie your laces?"

Joey, Ryou, and Seto watched as Aten sat down and gripped the two separate laces and looked at them confused.

"Just put one lace under the other to start," Joey said.

Aten dropped one of the laces and scratched his white and blond hair. He picked the lace up and put the one lace over the other. Aten looked up at the crowd of people looking down at him.

"I ferdet what I haff to do nest, mommy," Aten said dropping the laces.

"Pick up your laces."

Aten picked up the laces.

"Put one lace under the other," Seto instructed.

Aten looked at his shoelaces. "Dis is ard, Unkie Seto," Aten whimpered. "I no do dis."

"Put one lace under the other like this," Joey said untying his shoelaces and tutoring Aten. Aten was working backwards and went over when Joey went under.

Ryou showed Aten by tying his shoelaces for him. Aten stood up, his face red with embarressment.

"Umm…tankoo, mommy," Aten said scampering off at a slow pace.

Marik grabbed a handful of pretzels and shook his head with Ryou.

"He's having a difficult time with that, isn't he?" Seto said chewing on a piece of carrot stick.

"Aten can't tie his shoelaces. He can't tell the difference between the left and right laces," Ryou said uncomfortably.

Hayden stood a distance from Aten who threw the ball.

"Aiden cash bal!" Aten squealed as he threw the ball. The ball landed between them as Hayden went to pick it up. Hayden tossed the ball to Aten and Aten leaned down to pick it up.

Aria darted from under a picnic table and grabbed the ball before her brother could touch it. She snarled at Hayden and dashed away with it in hand.

"Tisser, dat my bal!" Aten took a deep breath and darted after her. She ran under Yami's legs. Aten slowed down and ran to Marik gripping onto his father's jeans, panting and flushed. Aria stopped and saw a shadow over her.

"Aria Kanika Itemri!" Malik said picking her up. "Drop it this instant!"

Aria dropped the ball and Malik picked it up. He carried the pouting chibi and the ball over to Hayden.

"Sorry, Hayden," Malik apologized calmly. Malik returned the ball to the quivering boy. "Aria, say you are sorry."

"I'm sorry, Hayden," she said flatly.

"Say it like you mean it, or no M&M's for you, little missy."

Aria's brown eyes went large and teary. "I'm sorry, Hayden."

Hayden dropped the ball and ran behind Joey's legs.

Malik carried Aria to Ryou. Seto, Yami, and Yugi crowded around Marik and Aten. Aten's face was buried in Marik's neck and his arms gripped weakly onto his father. All of the adults were rubbing the little boy's back.

Ryou turned to Aria trying to restrain his temper. "Aria, what have I told you about tormenting Hayden?"

"Ummm….don't do it?"

"And what did we discuss about your brother?"

"Umm…..not to make his chest hurt?"

Ryou nodded as her father approached, his brown eyes angry.

"Aria, your promised you wouldn't harm your brother or Hayden. Don't you pout at me, little missy. Unpout that lip. You know Aten hasn't been well and I saw everything!"

"Sorry, daddy."

"How many times must I hear that, Aria? You have to stop bullying Hayden. One day you're going to see that bullies are cowards and it is not amusing to be the victim," Bakura and Yami exchanged glares and sneers at each other. Bakura put her on her feet. "Go play with your dolls. One more slip-up and no M&M's, Aria."

Hayden looked up at Aten when Aria ran off. "Is Aten going to be ok?"

Marik nodded. "He'll be fine. His pulse just has to calm down a little."

"Aten, ummmm….do you….umm….wanna……..play with my racecars? That is……ummmm…if you want to."

Aten blinked and yawned. He looked down and cuddled close to his father. "Ok, Aiden."

Marik looked down. "Hayden, bring the racecars over here. Play here beside us."

Marik put Aten on the blanket that Ryou set beside Marik. Hayden and Aten played with the racecars.

Seto's chef served the food. Seto made a special plate for Aten-Jello, pudding, and some crackers. Aten couldn't digest many solid foods. Once he stole a pickle from Marik's sandwich and was up sick that night vomiting, sick, crying, and having his diaper changed every hour. That night, Ryou and Malik stayed up with the sick baby.

Aria had a hot dog cut in slices with mustard and chips. Hayden had some chicken and pretzels.

Aten ate his Butterscotch pudding. "I go to cool torrow. My mommy tez I wearn watts in cool! Daddy tez I meets watts of udder kiss dere."

Hayden raised an eyebrow. Aten was going to school tomorrow…that was all he retained from the discussion. "I start tomorrow, too. Mr. Kaiba put me in Domino Academy."

"I not no weer I do wif my tisser."

"I've never been in school. I'm a little scared that…the kids won't like me."

Aten looked sadly at his Jello and took a piece in his hand. "I know. I tared dat de kiss no wike me. I tared, too, Aiden."
Hayden chewed at his chicken. "Aten, you'll be fine. If anything you have Aria….She's scary."

Aten's brown and purple eyes became teary. "I know I haff Aria, but I still tared."

Both boys' faces suddenly became too focused on their plates to continue talking about their anxieties.

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

Aten was given the first present since he was the youngest, born only a matter of minutes behind his sister. He opened it up. It was a Magnadoodle. His tiny eyes lit up and his mouth gaped.

"Wow!!! Was dis?"

Seto leaned down. "You can draw pictures on it and if you move this little knob, it will erase what you drew and you can start again!"

"I can daw on it, Unkie Seto?"

Seto nodded and Aten squealed with joy. "I wuv, Unkie Seto!"

Aten gave Seto a hug as Aria took a present. She tore open the wrapping quickly and squealed at the top of her little lungs. "IT'S AN M'S PLUSHIE! A RED M! UNKIE SETO!" Aria ran to Seto and tugged on his shirt jumping up and down. "I LOVE MY UNKIE SETO!"

Yami handed Aten a box. "This is from me."

Aten opened it up slowly and smiled. "A Wigged Dagon of Wa!"

"They're PJ's, Aten."

Yugi walked up with another present. "This goes with it, Aten."

Aten opened up a Winged Dragon of Ra plushie. Marik cocked his head to the side. "Awww…….Aten, what do you say?"

"Ana Shokran Gazillan*, Auntie Yami," Aten said taking Yami and Yugi's hand and touching his forehead with their hand.

Bakura handed Aria a box. "That's from me, sweetheart." Aria squealed and opened it up. A Dark Necrofear plushie was inside.

Yami scratched his chin. "I don't remember you buying that from my shop, tomb robber."

Yugi's eyes opened. "I don't remember you buying that either."

Bakura crossed his arms and lifted his chin. "Who says I bought it?"

Yami growled. "YOU STOLE THAT FROM THE GAME SHOP, DIDN'T YOU?"

Bakura rolled his eyes. "That will teach you both to lock the door before going off into the backroom together to play `One-eyed Duel Monsters' during business hours."

Ryou blocked Yami's path and Yugi grabbed Yami's sleeve.

"Knock it off!" Seto yelled. "Malik, you give the kids a present."

Marik gave Aten a large, stuffed gorilla with brown fur. Aten's eyes opened and he ran into it. He cuddled into the big gorilla and nuzzled his cheek into it's large, soft belly.

"That's from me. I know you love your toy monkey, Aten. I saw this and knew you would love it!"

"Tankoo, Mommy Malik!" Aten hugged Malik tightly and leaned against the gorilla to open the rest of his present.

Malik gave Aria a baby doll that talks. Aria squeezed it tightly and cuddled into its blonde hair. Its dress was pink and came with a small stroller for her to push.

Marik gave Aten a pair of black pants and black t-shirt and one more stuffed monkey.

Marik gave Aria three more Barbie dolls and some dresses.

Marik gave Aten a plastic replica of the Millennium Puzzle. Joey gave Aten paint and a doodle pad for his sketches. Aria got a pretty purple dress with the Dark Magician Girl from Joey. Ryou gave her a large bag of M&M's for her candy jar at home. Joey also got them Duel Monsters coloring books and crayons for each of them….of course, each box had to have 65 crayons!

Seto told Ryou that he planned to give the chibis a tricycle for Christmas that year. Aria was going to get a pink tricycle with pink streamers and Aten was to get a purple one.

Hayden gave Aten a toy car and a lion plushie. Joey walked up to the chibis.

"Your Uncle Tristan and Uncle Otogi can't be here since they are busy with their new store they just opened up."

"New store?"

"Yeah, some motorcycle joint downtown. It looks good."

Seto shrugged. "We'll have to check it out sometime. Maybe Aria andAten would like to go."

Aria received a toy cat from Tris and Otogi. Aten received a toy motorcycle complete with authentic noises..

Bakura kneeled down in front of Aria with a velvet box. "Aria, this is from me. I bought it special."

"You mean, you stole that, too, huh?" Yami said sarcastically.

Bakura growled at Yami. "No. I bought it."

Yami rolled his eyes.

"I bought it from the money that I stole from your father's tomb. I have it in one of my hidden soulrooms."

Yami once again darted for Bakura, but Yugi stopped him.

Bakura smiled at her and opened the box. It was a necklace with the "Eye of Horus." Aria's eyes lit up and she stood shocked. "That's for me, daddy?"

Bakura put it around her neck and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "My girl."

Aria hugged Bakura and Aten went around hugging everyone for their presents. When it was done, cake and ice cream was served.

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

Aten and Aria returned home to Malik's house. The chibis were able to play for a little while and have a snack. Aten cuddled his big gorilla. Ryou heard him mumbling to it…something about school. Aria introduced her new Barbie dolls to the others.

Aten walked up to Malik and nuzzled into his leg. "Mommy Mawik, tan you baff wif me?"

Malik leaned down with a smile. Lately, Aten was improving with having others bathe him. It had been a long time since Aten allowed anyone to bathe with him in the tub. Normally, he would only let Ryou or Marik with him in the bathtub.

"I think that can be arranged," he said smiling at his yami's chibi.

Marik helped him up the stairs and started his bath. Malik grabbed the towels and clothes. Malik undressed in the bathroom with Aten.

Aten undressed and crawled into the tub with his rubber ducky. Aten sat between Malik's legs, making Malik pray that Aten wouldn't shift back unexpectedly. Aten played with the rubber ducky as Malik wet his hair with a cup.

"Mommy Mawik?" Aten asked turning his little body to face Malik. "Do you tink dat I do bad in cool?"

Malik saw the eyes become teary again. "I no tink I do well in cool. If I not do well in cool, my daddy no be poud of me."

"Aten," Malik said calmly wiping the tears away from the chibi's eyes. "Your father will be proud of you no matter what. And so will the rest of us. I don't see why you think your daddy will be mad at you. Your daddy loves you."

Aten looked down. "But, I no can tie my sues wike Awia. I no can speck as well as see."

Malik took the chibi against his chest praying to Osiris that Aten wouldn't try to stand up or move his knee any strategic way.

"Aten, we love you. You are a very special boy. No one could ever replace you. We love you and your sister equally." Malik's eyes gazed on the prominent ribcage. "What matters to us is that you are safe, happy, and healthy. That's all that matters to us, Aten." Malik kissed the chibi on the forehead.

"Weawwy? Eden dough I no can do what my tisser does?"

Malik hugged Aten, feeling the little heartbeat pulse. "We would love you no matter what, Aten."

Aten smiled and nuzzled against Malik's chest. "Mom? Wha if de udder kiss no wike me?"

"Why wouldn't they like you?"

Aten tugged at his white and blond hair. "Wook at my haya. My haya is too diffent cudder. My eyes are bown and pupple. I is tinny and fin. I no wook wike de udder kiss in de pack edder. I is diffent. Dey are big and stong. I not."

Malik caressed the boy's hair. "Aten, your hair and your eyes make you special. Look at me. How many people have purple eyes?"

"Unkie Yugi and Auntie Yami haff pupple eyes."

"Ok. But do they have blond hair?"

Aten nodded. "A wittle."

"Aten, this world would be boring if we were all the same. Just because you are different is no reason to feel bad. some kids may like you and some may not. the important thing is not to start a fight or go looking for trouble. But, Aten, if someone tries to hurt you, you scream, kick, and claw your way to a safe place. Don't let anyone lay a hand on you."

Malik shut his eyes as images of his yami flashed through his mind: Marik taking him against the kitchen counter. Marik pounding visciously into him on the couch and on the kitchen table as he was trying to make dinner. And finally, Marik getting up after everytime and walking out of the room with "Clean this mess up" barked as an order.

"Do whatever you can, Aten, to get away if someone wants to hurt you."

Aten nodded. "I will, Mommy Mawik."

Malik kissed the chibi's forehead and Malik washed himself down and Aten.

Marik told him to distract Aten while he washed below Aten's waist. He never said why. When he had to wash Aten, he brought the chibi into his arms and pressed his lips against Aten's neck and blew causing vibrations. Aten laughed and squealed as Malik washed Aten below the waist. Malik dropped Aten carefully into the water.

"Let me wash your feetsies!"

Aten turned around and lifted his leg out of the water. Malik lifted the leg and washed it and the tiny foot with wiggling toes. The chibi giggled and squealed. "Dat ticktles!"

Malik washed Aten's hair and rinsed him off. Malik let Aten play with the rubber duck while he left the tub and dried off.

He put on a clean pair of shorts and a t-shirt. He put on a clean diaper and dressed him in pants and a Change of Heart shirt.

Aten's hair was much easier to dry than Aria's. Aria's hair would go flat like her mother's when it was wet. To get the spikes back, she had to shake her head.

When Aten was done, he saw Aria carrying an armful of dolls for her bath. all that could be seen were her spiky hair and her naked chibi legs.

Ryou picked up the dolls that fell from her arms. "Did you have a nice bath with Mommy Malik?"

Aten nodded and wrapped his arms around Ryou's legs.

"Go have yoru snack and a bedtime story with your daddy." Aten kissed his mother `s cheek and carefully went down the steps.

"Was he good, Malik?"

[I wonder how good he can be. I like them innocent.]

"Make sure he takes his heart medication after his snack."

[Innocent, helpless, and vulnerable and weak…perfect combination.]

"Don't give him anything with milk before bed. He wheezed last night a little. I'll make sure to put the humidifier on in the room before they go to bed."

[Sixk, huh? Easy prey….]

"Aten's scared about school tomorrow."

[Aww…..poor little weakling.]

Ryou sighed. "I'll talk to him before bed. I know he's been scared. He hasn't slept well lately. He had a bad nightmare last night."

[He doesn't know the meaning of `nightmare' until he sees me……]

"I tried to reassure him, but let's see what he says when you talk to him, Ryou. You are his mother, after all."

[Don't worry, Malik. I'll take good care of you soon enough…..my little victim.]

*--It's Arabic for "I thank you very much."
