Marik Ishtar77: I'm sorry to hear about your grandparent. Yeah, I think Christmas is a bad time for grandparents, but I try not to think about it.

IYYASHI: No, Robbie would never hurt Aten, though they both deserve hugs until they stop breathing!

Shadow of Light: *hugs back* I hope you feel better, babe. As far as Aria and diabetes, I don't doubt it that she'll end up diabetic.

Pharaoh Yamis Princess: Oh yes…I did end it like that…like this chappie!!!

Bakura, Malik, and Marik were startled by the shriek of horror coming from the kids' room. They jumped to their feet and ran for the source of the shriek. Ryou was kneeling beside Aten's bed clutching a toy monkey against his chest and rocking it soothingly.

"Aten! Aten! Breathe! Wake Up! Please don't be dead!"

Bakura kneeled beside Ryou who dropped the toy.

"Bakura! Aten! He's ..he's dead! Revive him! Use your Shadow Magic! Bring him back!"

Ryou quivered and screamed in panic. He looked down and saw Aten lying lifeless at his knees, his eyes open in a blank stare, his mouth gaping from his last scream.

Marik grabbed the toy. "Ryou, this is a toy. Aten is over at Seto's place."

"No! My father told me before that if I ever screamed that he would snap Aten's neck! And he did! Look!" Ryou held up the monkey and the monkey's head went limp to one side. Ryou's eyes swelled with tears as he saw Aten's head fall to one side limp.

Malik kneeled beside Ryou and hugged him.

//Now the transformation can begin. Ryou's parental fear has given me the strength.//

Malik's POV

A cold wind hit me. It seemed to only hit me. Nobody else noticed. Of course, everybody was trying to calm Ryou. I felt another presence other than my yami. It may have been Marik, but why would Marik retreat into his soulroom at a time like this?

We rarely used our mindlink and besides last night, I couldn't tell you when we used our link last.
I suddenly felt cold and felt myself being kicked into my soulroom. The door slammed shut behind me.

//So, little one….I finally have you where I want you.//

A person stood before me. He had white hair and blue eyes. He looked like that bully at school who beat me up.

"Who are you?" I asked. My heart began to pound in my chest.

//I am Aku…I am your new master.//

"Marik! HELP!"

Aku laughed. //Your yami cannot help you. He will not be able to find you in here with me around.//

"What do you want with me?"

//I am going to destroy Bakura. You are my new toy. You will help me."

"I will not!"

//He won't be my only victim. Ryou, my host, shall be destroyed.//

"Ryou only has one yami."

Aku approached me. Behind me he left footprints in blood. //I was created from Ryou's fear…his anger. I was born during his abduction. I am the hatred he bears towards Tim. I am the fear he bears towards his father….that same father who took him against his will and violated his very being. I am also the very one who first took his innocence…Bakura.//

I began to shake looking at the trail of blood he left behind as he walked. I backed away to my cot in my soulroom.

//I am the manifestation of all his pain and now, your pain will be my pleasure.//

I swallowed hard, fearing this new spirit.

//You will do as I say, Malik Ishtar. Your body will be mine. You will not remember anything when I control you. When I release you, you will not.//

I narrowed my eyes as my back hit the wall. "What if I refuse?"

Aku laughed. //I will destroy you.//"

"You cannot destroy me!"

Aku snapped his fingers. //If I cannot destroy your body, I will destroy your mind.//

I looked on the bare walls in my soulroom. All the walls showed the same image. Marik had me pinned against the countertop in the kitchen. He was pounding into me dry...no preparation.

My head turned away. I can't look at it! I can't let myself remember how it felt! The sounds of my screams echoed through the room. The vision of the kitchen was displayed on every wall. I closed my eyes tightly and I saw the vision! I couldn't escape it!

"Stop it! I can't look!"

Aku laughed as I started to cry. He snapped his fingers.

//See? I have power over your darkest memories.//

Aku snapped his fingers and I saw Marik standing over me holding the Millennium Rod. I was lying on the floor curled up in a ball to protect myself against his assault. He had already managed to bruise me over half of my body. I begged him to stop….but he never stopped beating me until he was satisfied that he had broken something….well….he did break something. He always broke something. I forget what he broke that time. Maybe it was upper arm. No…wait...I think he cracked a rib that time. Yeah…that's it.

//So….you married him….and yet you have not yet laid these memories to rest.//

Marik started laughing as he hovered above me.

"I….I want to forget them. But…..I can't. I can never forget what he did, but…Marik doesn't do that to me anymore. He loves me."

Aku snapped his fingers again and he flashed an image of the night that Bakura intruded and told us to keep the noise down. Marik had tied me face down on the bed. He made sure the bonds were tight around my wrist.

//Do you really enjoyed being tied down? Does that truly give you satisfaction?//

It did…..sometimes. But that night, he tied me a little tightly.

//You really don't enjoy it. You do it for his pleasure….not for yours.//

"Not true! That is just the way we make love!"

Aku grinned. //You would rather be tied down, humiliated, and pounded into the mattress rather than this?//

Aku snapped his fingers. I remembered going downstairs for a snack. Marik was out at work. I went downstairs and I heard a whimper come from the kitchen and the creaking of the wood. I peeked into the kitchen and saw Ryou on his back, his knees wrapped around Bakura. They were making love on the kitchen table.

Bakura was slowly entering Ryou and gently thrusting into him. Bakura was gently nuzzling into Ryou's chest. Ryou wrapped his arm around Bakura, rubbing his back. "I love you, my angel. My love," Bakura whispered in Ryou's ear. Ryou smiled and caressed Bakura's face. "My dark. I love you," Ryou whispered.

//Would you prefer that over the domination? Mutual affection over complete domination?//

"I will not listen to this! I am not going to let you harm Bakura! I am not going to let you use me to your own advantage!"

Aku laughed. //Oh, but I am, little one. And you are too weak to stop me! And your yami will not be able to detect me. I am too strong for you to fight. You will be released from this soulroom when it serves my purpose. I meant it when I said if I cannot destroy your body, your mind will be easily destroyed. I will make your soulroom your place of torture, condemned to relive your memories of pain and humiliation. I will make your soulroom my home…and my birthplace.//

I backed away further and he laughed.

//And now…I will take over this body!//

A bright light filled the room……….and……….

Normal POV

Malik moved back and let Bakura and Marik bring Ryou to his feet. Ryou's crying had reduced to whimpers.

"I want to see Aten and Aria, Bakura! I have to make sure they are alright!"

Bakura looked up at Marik. "Well? What do you think?"

"I have to see my kids!" Ryou pleaded

Bakura sighed and brought his husband into his arms. "Ok, Ryou. If that will make you feel better, then that's what we'll do."

The four boys dressed. Marik and Bakura helped Ryou into the car. Marik drove the car to KaibaCorp.

Security answered the door and several minutes later, a sleepy, half-dressed, yawning Joey came down the stairs. Bakura raised an eyebrow.

"Where is moneybags, pups?"

Joey yawned and scratched his lower back. "Sleeping. Your kids wore him out so badly, he didn't hear the buzzer."

Ryou began to shake again and cry. "Joey, I have to see Aten and Aria! Please let me see them!"

Ryou wrapped his arms around Joey's waist and sobbed on his shoulder. Joey's eyes shifted between Marik, Malik and Bakura, confused.

"It's a long story, Joey," Marik said rubbing his forehead. "We need to see the children."

Joey nodded and yawned again. "Follow me." Joey took them to the elevator. "Well, the kids were good for me. Bakura, you know, Aria's dangerous with that balloon of hers."

Bakura rolled his eyes. "You don't have to tell me that."

"Well, Hayden kept himself locked in his room all night. He didn't want to come out with Aria here. He had to be served dinner in his room because he began crying so loudly."

The elevator arrived at the top floor and Joey lead them down the hallway. A loud, long, dragging snore emanated from Seto's room.

Marik plugged his ears and rolled his eyes. "Thank Ra I'm not buried in the cemetery down the road!! I'll never get any sleep

Even if I was buried there, I'd still be unable to sleep."

A whine escaped the room. "I wanna ride the pony…Joey…." The snoring continued unabated.

Ryou opened the door to the room where the kids slept. The door creaked quietly and Ryou crept to the bed.

Aten had his head on Aria's chest. He sucked his thumb quietly as he pressed his body against his sister. Aria was cuddling her red M&M's plushie with her left arm and had her right arm around her brother. Aria's fingers twitched in her sleep.

"A pile of M's all for me…….yeah……..a swimming pool full of M's….. "

Bakura bit his fist trying to resist the urge to grab his sleeping child and squeeze her in her sleep. Ryou kneeled beside Aten and brushed the back of his hair. In his sleep, Aten turned around and faced Ryou. His eyes squinted together and his fingers gripped the sheets.

Ryou caressed Aten's cheek. Ryou checked Aten for a pulse. It was uneven like usual, but it was beating fast. "Ewic….wet my tisser doe…….."

Joey yawned quietly and turned to Marik. "He woke me up already once with a nightmare."

"He's been doing that a lot lately." Marik bit his lip thinking about Cullen who recommended getting Aten professional help. Marik sighed, feeling as if he had to do something for his son, but regretted not having the resources.

Aten rolled on his back and began to whimper again and threw his head back. Ryou sat by Aten's side.

"I'll stay here with him. You guys go back to bed."

Joey put a hand on Ryou's shoulder. "Are you sure, Ryou? You need sleep."

Aten gripped onto Ryou's clothes and began whimpering.

Ryou shook his head. "When he does this anymore, he begins to cry. You need your sleep. I'll take care of my baby."

Bakura nodded and kissed Ryou on the lips. Marik kissed Ryou on the forehead and left. Malik left without saying anything.

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

Marik and Bakura were sleeping in the guest room when Aria and Aten ran in squealing at the top of their lungs. They climbed up on the bed and jumped onto their sleeping fathers, waking them both out of a deep sleep.

"Daddy! UNKIE PUPPY TAYS HE DAWNA QISH ME!"

Marik looked up at his son. "Were you being cute?"

"All I tid was ass for some more cawfee and da comiss page!"

Marik shrugged. "That's all you did, huh? SQUISH THE CHIBI MARIK!" Marik's arms wrapped around Aten and squeezed him tightly. He covered the boy's hair and face in an assault of kisses. Aten let out a tiny squeal of pleasure.

"DADDY! UNKIE SETO SAYS HE'S GONNA SQUEESE ME UNTIL I STOP BEATHING!!!"

Bakura looked up as Seto and Joey ran into the room. They ran up to the bed, shaking, holding their arms out.

"Bakura…..chibis…..must…….squish!!!!!!"

Bakura shook his head as he brought Aria slowly into his arms. "Aria, what did you do to make Seto want to squish you?"

"I…I….I…..I wanted some edds and topatoes for my brekkiefist."

Bakura bit his lip. "Now…Seto. I am the father. I GET TO SQUISH HER FIRST! COME HERE, CHIBI YAMI!"

Aria gave a loud squeal as Bakura growled and kissed at her face. He flipped her shirt up and began kissing her chest, growling into it with ferocity. Aria's head flew back in laughs.

"OH NO! DADDY'S SQUISHING ME! AHHHHH! SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seto and Joey bit heir bottom lips and Marik held out Aten's chuckling form to Joey. "Here. Squish him well, pups."

Joey reached out and gathered the chibi to his chest laughing. Aten arched his back as Joey placed his lips on Aten's neck and kissed him repeatedly.

Bakura handed Aria to Seto. "Squish the chibi, moneybags."

Seto glomped the child, making her squeal louder.

A groan emanated from the couch. "I'm awake! I'm awake!" Malik sat up and rubbed his eyes, obviously irritated from waking up from his sleep. Aria and Aten stopped squealing and they turned to the grumbling Malik.

"Hikari, are you ok?" Marik asked getting out of bed and taking Aten from Joey.

"Yes!" Malik grumbled sarcastically. Everyone raised an eyebrow and Malik yawned. "Just tired, I guess. Oh well. I'm up now! No point in going back to sleep. I'm hungry." Malik left the room yawning.

Seto looked at the clock. "We have to get you two dressed for school!"

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

Aten and Aria ran for the playground. Robbie was waiting for Aten at the gate. Aria ran for Gabby and they began to roughhouse with each other. Bakura followed Aria, proud of her abilities to duck and avoid being cornered. Malik leaned against the fence watching Aten. //Getting my hands on him is going to be more fun than I thought!//

Cullen stepped outside and walked up to Ryou and Marik. "Ryou, can I talk to you?"

Marik shrugged. "You can go, Ryou. I'll keep an eye on…"

"Actually, Mr. Ishtar, this is regarding Aten's test I performed yesterday."

"Let's go then."

Marik and Ryou walked into the classroom and sat by the teacher's desk. Cullen removed Aten's file and folded his hands on the desk.

"Mr. Ishtar. Ryou. I think we have found the cause of Aten's academic and linguistic difficulties….."

Update: Tuesday.
