Bakura's Crime

Yami walked out of the Dueling Dungeon and closed the car door.

/Yami…need you./

//Yugi?//

/Yami……..goodbye./

//Yugi! YUGI!//

/……………./

"We have to get home, Grandpa!"

Grandpa drove home and saw the smoke rising from the Game Shop.

"Yugi! Oh no!"

Yami's heart nearly stopped as he saw the fire fighters spray water onto the burning building. The medics ran out of the building with Yugi. Grandpa stopped and Yami ran to his light.

"Yugi!"

"Please, sir, step back. We're taking him to the hospital."

Yami ran back to Grandpa. "Stay with Yugi. I have to find out what caused this." Yami walked into the building, his Puzzle glowing making him invisible. He walked through the flames and into the room where the video surveillance was placed. The video recorder was untouched by the flames. Yami had protected the unit with Shadow Magic. This way, even if the place burned down, the video unit would still be in mint condition.

Yami took the tape out and walked out of the flames invisible.
"Time to get some answers," he grumbled as he disappeared into the Puzzle.

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

Malik stood in front of his house grinning.

//Time to let you go, Malik.//

Malik shook his head and shivered in the open air. He looked in his hand and saw Yugi's neck belt. "What am I doing with this? The last thing I remember is tucking the kids in bed for their afternoon nap."

Malik opened the door and smiled. "Hi, Bakura."

Bakura grabbed Malik by his shirt, slammed the door shut, and pinned Malik to the steps by his knee in under three seconds. He threw Malik down so hard, the boy cried out in pain. Ryou ran in from the kitchen.

Bakura gripped his shirt. "What the fuck are you doing here, Malik?"

Malik began to shake in fear at the venom coming from Bakura's words. "What? I live here."

"You have brass balls coming back here after what you did to Marik!"

"Bakura! I didn't do anything!"

Bakura backhanded Malik across the face as blood splattered against the wall.

Aten peeked his eye around the kitchen's corner and saw Bakura with a knee on Malik's chest. Aten's eyes went wide as he gripped his chest at the sight of Bakura's Sennen Eye appearing.

"How dare you violate your yami! How dare you even consider doing that with my child and Marik's child asleep upstairs!"

Aten's fingers gripped his chest tighter and he whimpered as he saw Ryou crying, trying to pull Bakura away.

Bakura pulled out a dagger and growled at Ryou. "He doesn't deserve to live!"

Malik's heart beat fast as tears fell down his face. "Marik? What did I do to Marik?"

Bakura growled. "You raped Marik. And I am going to make sure you don't endanger this family ever again!"

Ryou grabbed Bakura's wrist and Bakura growled at him. "Yami, I said that only Marik gets to decide his fate!"

Aten ran for the backdoor and stepped on the stool to open the door. Aten ran out of the door. "Wobbie….."

Aten ran a few steps then staggered gripping onto is chest in pain. Tears came down his cheeks as he walked to Robbie's house coughing and crying. He knocked on the door.

Mrs. Morgan opened the door and saw the chibi in a green sleepsuit with white feeties crying and gripping his heart. She brought him inside and wrapped him in a flannel blanket. "I wan Wobie! I wan Wobbie!"

Robbie limped out of the kitchen chewing on a sugar cookie. "Aten?"

"Robbie, can you stay with him while I get his medicine?"

Robbie climbed on the couch and cuddled wit Aten under the blanket. "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Morgan came in with a pill and kneeled in front of the boy. "Aten, why are you in your pyjamas? And what made you run here in the dark?"

The chibi sobbed. "Mommy Mawik hurt my daddy weawwy bad and my daddy no det out of bed. Efferyone is wewwing weawy woud and ceaming. Daddy Bakura is weawwy angie and I done know if dey is angie wif me! My mommy is cwying and effeyone is mad! I no tood unnertan what dey tay to eash udder. I onee know one word dey tay, but it is a bad word and I no tan tay it betaws it is scawy."

Robbie wrapped his arm around Aten and hugged him.

"Aten, did you eat yet? Are you hungry?"

Aten nodded. "Mommy Mawik tame home and de wewwing bedan. My mommy no dive me anyting to eat."

Mrs. Morgan looked at the clock. It was almost time for his bedtime and the child had not been fed yet. "Ok. I'll get you some food. Robbie, can you stay with him?"

Aten looked up at Robbie with large eyes. "No wet me doe bat home, Wobbie. I no wike pettles when dey are angie."

Mrs. Morgan didn't want to interrupt in the boys' time together. She heat up some chicken soup and called Aten to the table. She always made chicken soup with the alphabet noodles for Robbie. Robbie always played with the letters.

She decided against calling Aten's house now. She didn't know if the house had calmed down.

"Aten, did you have a bath?"

"No, I no did."

"Well, eat your supper and you can bathe with Robbie."

Robbie and Aten's faces lit up with smiles.

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

Mrs. Morgan filled the bathtub with warm water. The two naked chibis walked into the room and to the edge of the bathtub. Aten remained a little behind Robbie as they entered. He was still shy about anyone but his own parents bathing him or seeing him naked. His face was red and he still found himself quivering for reasons unknown to him. Mrs. Morgan put two clean washcloths by the tub. Aten whispered to Robbie and Robbie's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Aten!"

Mrs. Morgan looked down at them. "What?"

"Aten told me he's going to keep an eye on my penis so it doesn't go down the drain! Thank you, Aten!"

The mother watched as her son hugged his friend. She covered her mouth trying to hide the smile and her quiet giggle. "Oh, really?"

"Yeah, Aten told me that his sister's penis got sucked down the drain! And he also said that maybe he pushed her belly button too hard and it fell off! Did you know your bum can fall off if you press your belly button too hard?? I don't want that to happen to me! I don't want to be called "No-butt-boy." Mom, would you still love me if I didn't have a butt?"

Mrs. Morgan bit her lip trying not to laugh at her son's unfounded, but natural panic about losing certain parts of his anatomy. Mrs. Morgan kneeled down to Robbie. "I told you before, Robbie. I would love you no matter what you look like. You're my son."

Robbie wrapped his arms around his mother's shoulders. "Good! I really don't want my penis to go down the drain!"

"So that's why you're afraid to take your bath! Sweetheart, girls don't have penises. Aria didn't lose it. She was never born with one. Come on, you two. In the tub with you both.

"I teep an eye on it, Wobbie!" Aten sid as he watched Robbie be placed in the tub.

Mrs. Morgan put Aten in the tub and he reached below the bubbles. "Mine till dare!"

Robbie reached below. ""Mine, too! Whew….what a relief!"

Mrs. Morgan shook her head trying not to laugh at the chibi boys.

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

Bakura stood snarling at Malik from across the room. Ryou grabbed one suitcase and gave it to Malik. "You have to leave, Malik."

"Ryou….I don't remember hurting Malik! I love him!"

Ryou shook his head wiping the tears from his eyes. "Until we get the story from Marik, you cannot stay here. Please. Just go."

"Where can I go? This is my sister's home!"

Bakura snarled as he stood behind Ryou. He wrapped one arm around Ryou's flat belly and the other around his chest protectively. "You injured your family, Hikari Malik. Your presence here threatens the safety of our family. Our children will not be subjected to the danger you pose. I won't allow my daughter to be subjected to your actions!"

"Malik, please go," Ryou said wiping his tears away.

"But this is my home."

Bakura growled. "Out, Ishtar! Or I'll throw you out!"

Malik opened the door and turned back to look at the couple. "I'm sorry."

"Go, Hikari Ishtar," Bakura said clutching onto Ryou tightly..

Malik sniffled and closed the door behind him. Malik whimpered as he felt himself being pushed into the confines of his soulrooom.

Aku shoved Malik into his soulroom and slammed the door shut. //I'll take it from here, my little puppet.//

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

Ryou quietly went upstairs to check on Aria and Marik. Aria was playing with her dolls, ignorant of the battle that occurred. Ryou gave her a kiss and checked on Marik.

Marik's eyes were wide and fixed on the blank wall across the room. Hs face was pal and he was curled up with his knees drawn to his chest.

"Marik?"

"Why, Malik? Why?" Marik sobbed covering his face.

Ryou sat by Marik caressing his hair when Bakura ran into the room.

"Ryou, have you seen Aten?"

"No. Isn't he downstairs in the kitchen?"

Bakura shook his head. "The backdoor is open!"

"Aten!" Ryou's heart jumped into his throat. The phone ran and Bakura ran for it.

"Bakura Osiris Itemri here."

[Is this Aten's father?]

"Mrs. Morgan?"

[Bakura, I have Aten here at my house.]

Bakura turned to Ryou. "He's with Robbie! Is he ok?"

[He's here. He was quite upset when he was standing on our doorstep, but you can come pick him up if you want.]

Ryou grabbed the phone. "Aten is with you, Miranda? I'm so sorry if he disturbed you!"

[No trouble, Ryou. He's upstairs playing with Robbie now.]

"I'll be right over." Ryou put down the phone. "I have to go pick up Aten at Robbie's house. Can you feed Aria and give her a bath?"

Bakura nodded. "I can do that. I love you, Ryou."

Ryou kissed Bakura quickly. "Me, too. I love you, Bakura."

Bakura kissed Ryou again and ran for Aria to feed her.

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

Bakura ran the bathwater for his daughter. He helped her remove her clothes and the dirty diaper.

Bakura lifted her up and planted kisses on her and growled into her belly. She growled back playfully. Aria grabbed his cheeks and buried here face in them.

"I love my daddy!" Aria squealed into his face.

"I love my baby girl!" Bakura smiled showing his canines. "My little girl. Who's got daddy's bloodlust?"

"ME! I got daddy's bloodlust!"

Bakura's eyes widened as he remembered Isis' prophecy: Aria would grow up to be a ruthless killer, void of mercy or compassion.

Their eyes locked for a moment when Bakura kissed her forehead. "I'll be back to get you in a little bit."

"Ok, daddy! I love you!"

Bakura put his little daughter into the tub and gave her a washcloth. He left the door a little cracked so he could hear her. She seemed content playing with her dolls in the tub.

Bakura went to Marik's room. "Ishtar….talk to me."

"Pinned…..can't move…Aten! Malik, don't hurt Aten! Aten….don't hurt Aria….Why…I loved you, Malik."

Bakura rubbed Marik's hair and walked down the stairs. He was picking up Aria's dolls when the door was kicked open and Yami burst through.

"Hey, pharaoh, aren't you supposed to knock?"

Yami growled and the Puzzle glowed. Bakura was thrown back into the wall. The white-haired yami groaned and lifted his head. "What was that for?"

Yami grabbed Bakura by the hair. "Too bad this isn't ancient Egypt. You'd lose more than your hand, you thief!"

"What in Ra's name are you talking about?"

Yami slammed Bakura against the wall violently, hearing something snap inside the smaller yami. Yami backhanded Bakura. The yami's head flew to one side and the room began to spin. "That's for blasphemy!"

Bakura was weak. He had cleaned up the blood from Marik, he had to fight with Malik, fight with Ryou, and now had to fight a furious pharaoh. His magic was dry and his physical strength was wearing thin.

Yami's hand wrapped around Bakura's throat. Bakura's eyes shot open wide as he remembered Yami's dungeon. Yami's general strangled him to death when it was assured he was too weak to fight back.

[Stop breathing….you….insignificant…..waste…of life…Die……] Bakura heard the general say.

"Yugi is in the hospital because of you! You better pray he stays stable!"

Bakura punched Yami and Yami crashed his knee against Bakura's stomach. Bakura fell to the floor coughing. "You are no better than your step-brother Anubis!"

Yami growled and picked up Bakura by the hair. Yami pulled Bakura's head back, exposing the white throat. Bakura didn't see Yami's hand as he backhanded him again.

"You committed a crime against me and Yugi. I cannot let you go unpunished for it this time, tomb robber."

Yami dropped Bakura and the yami began to growl. Yami brought his knee into Bakura's jaw hard and he fell to the ground.

"That is where you belong, Bakura… At my feet."

"I am not your prisoner anymore!"

Yami sneered. "You are wrong, tomb robber! You will be my prisoner now once again…and you are once again at my mercy. Tell me if this feels familiar, Bakura!"

Yami kneeled beside Bakura and grabbed Bakura's shirt, tugging violently. The buttons scattered all over the floor. Bakura grabbed Yami's shirt, but there were too many buckles holding his shirt together.

"When I did this to you back in Egypt, you didn't have a chance to fight back!"

Bakura looked up at the pharaoh with spite and disgust. "I have never been at your mercy and I never will be, Pharaoh Yami! Besides, what do you know of mercy? Mercy has always been a foreign word to you, Yami! Is letting your subjects starve an act of mercy? Is locking them in a dark dungeon without food or water, but with daily rapings and beatings an act of mercy? You are many things, Pharaoh Yami, but merciful you have never been and never shall be!"

Yami glared and grabbed a handful of Bakura's hair. He forced back Bakura's head exposing the neck again.

He pinned Bakura against the wall and tugged desperately at his pants.

A whimper escaped Bakura as he grabbed Yami's hair. "Please……Yami…not again……"

"You tried to fight me back in Egypt, too, Bakura! It will not work this time!"

Bakura growled as he took control of himself with difficulty. "Why are you doing this?"

"You are going to be my prisoner again. Prisoners do not deserve the luxury of clothing."

Yami pulled off Bakura's pants with difficulty and threw him to the ground, making him hit his head against the floor.

Yami placed his foot on the front of Bakura's neck, stepping down on it. "I should kill you again, Bakura."

The naked yami narrowed his eyes, his only thought being Aria upstairs in the bathtub. He was not concerned for his own safety.

Yami brought him to his knees.

"I should kill you as you kneel before me."

Bakura sneered. "Does this mean you are going to kill me yourself like a man and not have one of your lackeys do it for you like a coward?"

Yami growled. "I should kill you, Bakura. The host can exist without the yami counterpart. Ryou would be the only one to mourn you! I will not let another innocent suffer because of you."

Bakura growled. "What are you going to do, then?"

"I'm going to get rid of you. You aren't going to have any opportunity to interfere in anyone's life anymore. I have had it with you, tomb robber!"

Bakura snarled. "My infant daughter is upstairs in the tub! At least be compassionate enough for me to dry her!"

"So, now you are concerned for someone else's well-being?"

"She is my child! I fathered Aria and I am responsible for her!"

Yami growled. "She's just another tomb-robber and like her father, she will share the same fate! I am not stalling! Back in the Ring with you! Never to escape from your Millennium Item! For all eternity!"

A bright light filled the room and Bakura disappeared.

A pain-filled shriek filled his soulroom as he was forced back into his item. The shriek continued as he rattled the doors desperately trying to set himself free.
