Cynical spirit valea: Aria is chibi yami. I can't let a piece of the Puzzle go down the drain. I need Yami for the end of the story and the rest of the series.

IYYASHI: Aria needed her revenge.

Talk to Me

Ryou stayed awake beside Bakura all night. He hardly left Bakura's side. Ryou continued to cuddle into Bakura all through the night. He stroked his yami's cold, shivering body. Ryou gently cupped his cold face in his hands trying to warm him. Ryou pressed himself against Bakura to warm him. Bakura didn't become conscious.

The next morning, Ryou and Marik sat downstairs for breakfast. Ryou poured himself his third cup of tea.
"Ryou, try to get some sleep today. You look very pale."

Ryou shook his head. "I can't sleep while Bakura lies there motionless. I have to keep Bakura breathing."

Marik leaned over and kissed Ryou on the cheek. "Take care of yourself, too, Ryou. You are just as important as he is."

Malik strolled casually into the kitchen. "Did Bakura wake up yet?"

Ryou gulped. "No."

Malik pouted. "What a shame!"

Marik suppressed the growl he felt as he saw his hikari. "I have a job interview today, Ryou. Now, this job is not glamorous, but it will make sure that we have some money."

Ryou took Marik's hand gently. "Marik, no matter the job, you still have my respect."

Marik nodded. "I should make you take an oath to that, Ryou, but I'd be late and the less bloodshed around here now, the better. I have to go." Marik kissed Ryou on the forehead. He turned to his hikari. "You stay out of trouble!"

Marik shut the door behind him and Ryou's body cringed.

Ryou went to stand up, but Malik shoved him back into his seat.

"Why in such a hurry, Ryou?" Malik asked with a grin. "Got somewhere to be, do we?"

Ryou stiffened as Malik straddled his lap on the chair, facing him.

Ryou shivered as he remembered Tim straddling his lap as his father cut his hair.
"Malik….please get off me."

Malik grinned. "Why,Ryou? Just when we were having fun, you want me to stop?" Malik ground his hips against Ryou and snickered at the moan that escaped Ryou. "I think me stopping is the furthest thing from your mind."

Ryou bent his head back and looked away, hearing Tim Cinetti's voice in his mind. "I want you to stop, Malik. Please."

Malik growled and stood up quickly. He grabbed Ryou and threw him to the floor. "Clean up this floor! It's filthy! You don't want me to make you another victim of a kitchen disaster, do you?"

Ryou shook his head vigorously. "No."

Malik kicked his legs. "Then get off your ass and clean this place up!"

Ryou quickly cleaned the dishes from breakfast with Malik pressed up against him. He scrubbed the floors on his hands and knees. When Malik saw a spot that Ryou had missed, Ryou received a kick in the back. He hung the clean laundry in the backyard under the watchful eye of Malik. Ryou returned upstairs to check on Bakura.

Bakura had still not moved. Ryou opened Bakura's eye and saw Bakura's eyes had returned to normal, but his pupils were very dilated. Ryou cut up an apple and fed it to his yami. If Ryou pushed it through his lips, Bakura chewed in his sleep and swallowed. Bakura didn't have the strength to open his eyes or feed himself. The yami had no strength to move on his own.

Ryou returned downstairs to make lunch for himself when Malik caught him from behind. Ryou grabbed Malik's arm and tried to lower his head to bite into the flesh, but he failed. Ryou took a deep breath and brought his head backwards hoping to hit Malik in the nose again. It failed.

Malik pinned him face down on the living room couch. "So…you think you can take Marik away from me, do you?"

"Malik! Stop it!"

Malik growled. "You're trying to take him away from me, aren't you?!"

"No!"

Malik growled. "I do not believe you! I'll teach you to lie to me!"

Malik pulled at the rim of Ryou's jeans. Ryou let out a scream, hoping to alert Bakura. Ryou gripped Malik's wrist, but the blond pressed all his weight on Ryou's hips.

The blond freed his half-aroused erection from his own jeans and Ryou let out shriek.
"LET ME GO! HELP! BAKURA!"

Malik grinned as he forced Ryou's jeans down. "I should have been Aten's father! Not my yami! You never cared about my feelings, did you, Ryou! Well….now you'll know how torn I was between my love for you and my yami!"

"BAKURA!"

The door opened and Marik burst into the house. Marik growled, grabbing Malik by the scruff of the neck and throwing him out of the house.
"I gave you a second chance, hikari! And you betrayed that trust! GET OUT!"

Marik slammed the door and locked it. Marik found Ryou still face down on the couch. Marik pulled Ryou up and clutched him to his chest.

"He's gone, Ryou."

Ryou gripped onto Marik tightly, sobbing. "He was going to…..ohh god! Not again!"

Marik stroked his hair. "You don't have to worry about him anymore, Ryou. I will protect you."

Ryou smiled and continued to shake until he had calmed down enough to move. Marik sat next to Ryou on the couch, holding him.

"Did you get the job?" Ryou asked.
"Yes. I got the job. I start training tomorrow."

Ryou smiled and brought Marik into an embrace. "Thank you, Marik."

Marik tipped Ryou's head back. "I'd do anything for the people I love, Ryou. As you are the mother of my son, I love you." Marik brought his hand to the back of Ryou's hair, cupping Ryou's head in his hand. Marik leaned in to kiss the white-haired hikari. Ryou closed his eyes and pulled Marik into a passionate kiss.

Marik allowed Ryou's tongue entrance into his mouth. Their tongues dueled for domination of the kiss. Marik's hand fell from Ryou's cheek down to Ryou's chest, where the yami placed a gentle hand.

The yami purred into the kiss, much to Ryou's surprise. Ryou

left Marik's mouth to trace Marik's jawbone with tiny kisses. A tear fell down Ryou's eye as he kissed the soft, tan skin. Marik felt the tear drop against his neck and pulled away to see Ryou sobbing into his neck.

"Ryou? What is wrong?"

Ryou buried his face in the side of Marik's neck and struggled to hold back his tears. "I miss Bakura, Marik. I miss kissing him like this! Yami allowed me to see Bakura for thirty minutes and that was the last time I saw him. That was the last time I made love to my husband. Now…I don't know what to do for him."

Marik stroked Ryou's hair gently. "Bakura will get better, Ryou. You'll see."

"If only Bakura could retreat willingly into his soulroom again, he would heal faster."

Marik shook his head. "Where he is laying right now is better than his soulroom. He wouldn't have enough energy to put himself into the Ring anyway. He's better in your bed where you can keep an eye on him."

Ryou sighed. "I better go check on him." Ryou stood up, his legs still weak with shock from his encounter with Malik. Ryou climbed the steps as his body continued to shudder. He gripped the banister as he climbed, hoping to see Bakura in better shape.

Ryou and Marik walked into Bakura's bedroom. Bakura's arms were still crossed in front of him, but his head was bowed and was now hidden behind his arms. He was still breathing and his skin did not look as pale. Ryou couldn't get to Bakura's eyes since they were hidden behind his crossed arms.

Marik examined Bakura's back. "He's looking a little better."

Ryou leaned into Bakura to listen for signs of breathing and he heard a little noise come from the yami. The yami's body began to tremble. Ryou placed a hand on Bakura's side.

"Ya….Ya……Yami….," Bakura whispered quietly.

"Marik! Bakura is talking!" Ryou squealed excitedly.

Bakura just remained on his side shivering. "Ya----mi."

Ryou slid under the covers beside Bakura and gathered his yami to his chest. "I'm here, Bakura. I won't leave you."

Marik ran his hands through Bakura's hair and less hair was removed from his head. "I'll go down and see what we have for dinner."

Ryou snuggled into Bakura, kissing his yami's clenched fist. "I love you, Bakura. I'm glad you are back safe. I was worried."

Ryou clenched his teeth as a quick pain shot through his stomach. Then it occurred to him that he hadn't eaten much nor very well with no money in the account and no income.

Marik returned a few minutes later. "Ryou, we have no food left. No bread. No milk."

"We gave no food at all?"

"Not unless you love ketchup packets and duck sauce."

Ryou sighed. Bakura had to eat. "We have to get food for Bakura at least."

Marik grinned and leaned against the doorway. "I was the second best thief in Cairo when Bakura and I were in ancient Egypt! I can find us some food, no sweat!"

Ryou turned around to face the confident yami. "You are NOT stealing anything! I have no money to bail you out of jail! Look around. Try to find some change in the couch or on the floor."

Marik left as Ryou snuggled into Bakura. "We'll feed you, Bakura. My love? Can you talk to me?" Bakura didn't move. Ryou whispered, "Tell me you love me, 'Kura. Please? I need to hear your voice."

Bakura let out a gentle breath.

Ryou sniffled as he heard Marik run up the stairs.

"Ryou! Isis' check came in the mail! We can buy some food!"

Ryou sat up. "We don't have much left after we pay the bills. Just cash it and get a liver for Bakura and some food for us. Don't spend more than twenty dollars. We need to open a new bank account. Get some meat and carrots. We need milk, too."

Marik nodded. "Got it. I'll be right back."

Ryou laid beside Bakura until the other yami returned. "Yami, you have to eat to get stronger." Ryou cut a tiny piece of liver. When the first drip of blood hit Bakura's lips, he opened his mouth and started chewing the raw organ between his teeth.
Marik shook his head and scratched his hair. "I never understood his fascination with raw meat."

Ryou cut Another piece. "He's chewing in His sleep. It has to Be the blood."

When Bakura finished, Ryou stroked Bakura's hair and sat beside him.

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

Tristan looked over at Aten at the kitchen table. Aten sniffed sadly, slowly stabbing his carrots with his fork. Otogi shoveled a forkful of rice into his mouth hungrily.

Aria chewed hr carrots and watched hr brother intently, knowing he didn't like to be disturbed when something was on his mind.

"Aten?" Tristan asked the boy. "Aten, eat up, son. Your chicken is going to get cold."

Tristan never saw a chibi look more sad than when Aten looked up at him. Aten's brown an purple eyes were filled with tears. His lower lip trembled.

"Unkie Tissan? Do you tink I neffer tee Wobbie aden?"

Tristan shook his head. "No, you'll see him again, Aten. He's just going to go to a different school. That happened to me and Otogi. Her went to a different university than I did."

Otogi cut a piece of chicken off of the breast. "Yeah, Aten. Tristan went to a different school."

Tristan snickered as he tried to lighten the mood for the forlorn chibi. "Otogi went to a school where pretty queens go and where he trained to be a Royal-Pain-In-My-Ass!"

Otogi rolled his eyes and flicked his hair back. "Well, Aten, let me tell you about Tristan's university. Tristan went to a little college called "F.U." where he did nothing but drink booze, play with dollies, and dress upas a pretty woman. One time I saw him wear a frilly pink tutu with pink bows in his hair and he carried a magical wand. In those days, Tris called himself "Boob-a-rella." Tristan would put socks in a ladies' bra and walk around carrying pretty pink purse to match his dresses."

Tristan narrowed his eyes. "Oh yeah? Well, Aten. Let me tell you about Otogi. Otogi went to a Homecoming dance of his college called KissMyAss! Otogi was voted "Head Bitch" by the school. Otogi dressed in a tight, leather dress and a red feather boa. He wore fishnet stockings and pretty red lipstick. And Otogi worked as a two-cent whore on the side."

"HEY!"

"Oh..I'm sorry, Duke. He worked as a ten-cent whore."

Aria cocked her head to the side. "What's a ten-cent whore?"

Tristan turned ad saw Aten's chair empty. "Aten?"

Tristan and Otogi left the kitchen and saw Aten sitting by the sliding door to their balcony. He was sitting with his Change of Heart plushie beside him with his knees drawn up to his chest.

"Little man?" Tristan crept to Aten. "Little man, are you alright?"

Aten touched the glass of the sliding door. ""Wobbie."

Otogi touched Tristan's arm. "I'll take care of Aten. You go keep an eye on the little coffee monster eating her carrots."

Tristan ran into the kitchen to guard his coffee. Otogi kneeled beside Aten. Otogi put a gentle hand on the chibi's hair.

"Aten? What's wrong, chibi Marik?"

"I wan Wobbie, Togi. I mits Wobbie."

Otogi leaned down. "You'll see hi again, Aten. Just because you go to different schools doesn't mean you won't see him anymore."

Aten looked down sadly. "Not de tame. Unkie Togi, Wobbie iss my bess fend. I nee Wobbie and I no know why. He's my one fend. I no know why he wan to be my fend at all, but he is my bess fend in da ole world!"

Otogi nodded. "I know how you feel, Aten. I need Tristan and I don't know why sometimes. He can be a jerk or an idiot sometimes, but I just….need him to feel complete. Sometimes, Aten, we don't know why we need someone, we just do. It's o.k. to feel that way."

Aten sniffled and wiped a tear away. "Wobbie help me wif my wetters. Wobbie teash me to wead. I teash him Awabic."

Otogi smiled. "That's great, Aten!"

"Wobbie mates me feel peckial. When Wobbie huds me, I no tared. He tissed me once on my hair. It feel good."

Otogi suppressed a chuckle. Already there seemed the beginnings of a deep friendship between the two boys. It was equally as interesting that Aten could not bear the fear of never seeing Robbie again.

"Aten, you will see Robbie again."

Aten touched the glass. "Wobbie…."

Otogi sighed. "Are you hungry, Aten?"

Aten shook his head. "No. Dere's one one ting I nee. I wann Wobbie."

Otogi brushed Aten's cheek lightly.

Aten turned his face to Otogi. "Peas, Unkie Togi…..no tush. Me tad."

Otogi nodded. "Ok. I'll leave you alone if you want, Aten. Do you need anything? How is your back?"

Aten shifted uncomfortably on the floor. "Tan I haff a piddow? My bum hurts aden."

Otogi brought Aten a pillow. Aten sat on the soft pillow, cuddling his plushie.
"How is your back?"

Aten nuzzled his cheek into his plushie. "It hurts mush, Unkie Togi."

Otogi left and returned with some chewable children's medication. It was time for Aten's medicine anyway.

Aten chewed the medicine an sighed watching the sunset. He watched the sunset and sighed as the first star appeared in the sky above. "Wobbie…."

Aten watched the stars appear one at a time. "I mits my mommy and daddy." Aten buried his face in his plushie and thought about his mother and father. Then he thought about Robbie.

Aten let out a choked sob as he couldn't decide which was worse: the pain in his back and backside or how much he missed his parents and Robbie.
*******************************

Miranda called up the stairs to Robbie. She called him down for dinner and there came no reply. Miranda climbed the steps and knocked on her son's door. "Robbie? Robbie are you ok?"

"Aten," a pitiful cry came from behind the door.

Miranda opened the door and found Robbie sitting on the flor with his legs crossed. He sniffled as he looked at his toy soldiers lined up in their battalions. He wiped a small river of tears from his eyes with the palm of his hand.

"Why, what's wrong, my little soldier?"

Robbie sniffled. "Why can't Aten go to my school?"

"Aten's mommy thought it best because the school allowed someone to take Aten away without his knowledge. It's not anything that you or Aten did."

Robbie wiped his eye. "Aten is my friend, mommy. I need him for me to be happy. He's my only friend!"

Miranda kneeled beside Robbie. "I'm sorry, baby. You can still see Aten after school."

Robbie rubbed his eye. "It's not the same."

Miranda kissed Robbie's black hair. "Aten will still be your friend, Robbie, even if you don't go to the same school."

Robbie sighed sadly. "All the kids hate me at school! Aten was the only one who would play with me and talk to me. The other kids beat me up and call me "Limpy" or "Fatso" or "Smelly." I'm not fat!! I only weigh about twenty pounds. I remember that's what Dr. Nicholas told me! I hate that school!"

Miranda narrowed her eyes. "I will talk tot that school tomorrow, Robbie."

Robbie looked up at his mother with teary eyes. "Really?"

Miranda smiled and nodded. "I promise, my brave little soldier! Now let's get some food into you before you waste away to nothing!" The mother poked her son in the thin stomach and swung him over her shoulder.

She carried him downstairs and put him down. Robbie limped to his chair at the table. They ate dinner and Robbie went to his toy tanks after dinner. Robbie looked up and saw the sun beginning to set below the horizon. He saw the first star appear above the sunset. Robbie reached up as if trying to touch the celestial object.

"Aten," he whispered, his fingers lightly touching the fragile glass.

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

Otogi finished folding the laundry and put the clean clothes away. He cleaned Aria's dress and went to leave his bedroom when he looked up to see Tristan standing in the doorway with a smile on his face. "So….I went to a little place called "F.U.," huh?"

Otogi dropped the clothes. "Tristan, Aten was very upset and we should have taken him more seriously when he did."

"I was only trying to lighten the mood a little. Don't get your panties in a bunch."

Otogi clenched his fists. "Stop insisting I wear panties! You know damn well that's not true!"

Tristan snickered. "I forgot. You wear thongs."

Otogi crossed his arms. "Very funny. Now if you'll excuse me, Aria's dress is cleaned."

Tristan wrapped his arms around Otogi's shoulders. "I'm sorry, Otogi. I was an insensitive ass. I think there's a way I can make it up to you."

Tristan leaned down to Otogi and caught the emerald-eyed duelist in a passionate kiss. The brunet's hands slid down Otogi's body and traveled under his shirt. Otogi dropped Aria's dress as Tristan backed Otogi into the wall. The brunet pressed up against his lover and attacked Otogi's neck with a gentle nip. Otogi tilted his head to the other side to allow Tristan more access. The raven-haired boy let out a moan as Tristan ran his hands along the heating skin of his chest and abdomen. One of his legs wrapped around Tristan to bring him closer.

Tristan gripped the soft flesh of Otogi nipple and played with it with a moan of pleasure. "Does my little pussy-cat like that?"

"Oh gods, Tris…..don't stop."

Tristan reached under the rim of Otogi's pants, stroking his lover lightly. Otogi and Tristan both gave a tiny moan, unaware a little visitor had intruded.

Aria let out a little giggle as Otogi's head snapped up.

"AH! TRIS! STOP!"
Tristan moaned into Otogi's ear as he sucked on the earlobe. "I want you, Otogi. I need you."

Otogi slapped Tristan on the back of the head. "Chibi, Tristan!"

Tristan turned around and backed away, his hand stuck in Otogi's pants.

"What are you doing, Unkie Tistan?""

"I…uh…..uh…." Tristan went fifty shades of red as he tried to think of a non-sexual explanation. "I…uh…lost a quarter down Otogi's pants and I'm trying to find it."
Aria's eyes lit up. "A quarter! I can find it, Unkie Tistan!"

Aria ran up to the boys and Tristan pulled his hand out.

"No, Aria. Unkie Togi can get the quarter out later. It's time to get you your snack and it's off to bed with all of the chibi yamis. "Aten! Time for your bath!"

A tiny squeal sounded from the living room as Tristan shook his head.

"Oh, man! I et you we have to find him again! Otogi, can you go look for Aten while I get her ready for bed?"

togi smirked. "Hey, Tris? Do you think we can look for the quarter when the chibis go to bed?"

Tristan laughed. "Hell, yeah!"

Update: Tomorrow

Next Chappie: Aku and Steven interrogate Malik. Malik is shown everything he has done to Aten and Marik.
