For starters, I'm sorry I haven't uploaded anything in a long time. I've been working on this story for months now. I wanted something that was slightly like one usually stories but with something I've never done before. And, of course, since it's taking me several months to write it some of the details are not the same at the beginning as the end so I had to go back through several times to match everything. I'm still editing it a final time so it'll take some time between chapters, not more than a week On that note, I hope you like this.

Warnings: Language, yaoi (malexmale) child abuse (light description) if any of this bothers you please don't read this.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Chapter One

Jounouchi stormed out of the elevator, grumbling to himself. He was so angry that his "boss" would harass him yet again today. As if he wasn't busy cleaning after all his spoiled employees. He growled, not noticing the lack of people in the large room directly outside of the CEO's office. He knew that taking a job from Kaiba would result in added stress, but the constant request for him to clean something was ridiculous. There was no way one sophisticated person that pride himself in his cleanliness would ever make as much mess as he constantly did. The blond rammed his shoulder into the person just exiting Kaiba's office. "I'm so sorry," he said, turning towards the long black haired woman. She mumbled something in response before ducking into the elevator that he just exited.

The blond shook his head and slammed Kaiba's partially closed door open. "Listen here you pompous...jerk," Jounouchi said, noticing that no one was in the room. He gasped, realizing what must have happened. He reached for his walkie-talkie and radioed the front desk. "A woman with long black hair should be coming out of Kaiba's elevator. Stop her. Kaiba wasn't in his office when she left. She might have stolen something." Jounouchi ran down the steps, jumping down as many as he could. As much as he hated the torment Kaiba unleashed on him daily, he never wanted to see anything bad happening to him. He refused to let anyone have an advantage over the brunet.

He slammed opened the fire escape door and slid to a stop in the lobby. The guards were lined up in front of the doors, not letting anyone out. Masses of people stood in groups in the large lobby. He could hear whispers of concern and confusion. Quickly walking towards the stairway leading to the elevators, he used the slight height advantage to look for the woman he saw. He nodded to the guard that spotted him before moving his gaze about the room. He saw a woman hunched over with a hood over her head. Jounouchi stepped off the stairs and nodded to the men. He knew he should let the security handle everything, but he wanted to prove to Kaiba that he was worth more than a janitor.

The woman spotted him and started to run off in a different direction. Jounouchi ran after her, grabbing her arm. She slid on the linoleum, but instead of her falling forward, she flipped and her back slammed on the blue and silver floor. A whine from the object she held close to her chest caused the blond to pause. He grabbed it just as the guards pulled her up and onto her knees. The ex-duelist pushed the white cloth back, revealing a baby with bright blue eyes that reminded him of Kaiba's. Isono stood in front of the woman. "Who are you?"

"Return my baby."

"Not until you tell us who you are and what you were doing in Kaiba-sama's office."

"I wanted to show him his son, but he wasn't there."

"Stop lying," Jounouchi barked. "Kaiba himself radioed me a minute before I arrived. He had to be in the office. What did you do to him?"

"I did nothing to him. I want him to start paying child support for the baby he fathered."

Isono rolled his eyes. "You obviously don't read much. It's highly known that Kaiba-sama does not sleep with people often and he won't be that reckless. There would be no way he would father a child that looks no older than a few months. Take her to the back office and contact the police," he said to the two guards holding her, turning to the other guards. "You three search the building top to bottom. Find Kaiba-sama." He walked over to Jounouchi and looked down at the surprisingly quiet baby. "How do you feel about babysitting?"

The blond smiled and gently poked the baby on the nose. "I don't mind. He's really cute." Jounouchi walked over towards the one chair lining the waiting area. He rocked the baby in his arms. "You really do look like him. If I didn't better, I would think you were his son." The baby blinked at him before his eye lids closed slightly. "Are you glaring at me?" The baby did the best he could to kick Jounouchi. "And kicking me? Even after I called you cute? That's not nice, Chibi-chan."

Isono walked up to the blond that obviously lost track of time, staring at the small child in his arms. "I have some bad news."

"You can't find Kaiba."

"I wish it was that simple, but I know exactly where Kaiba-sama is."

"Then what is the problem?"

"You're holding him."

"What?" Jounouchi stared down at the baby who had a smirk on his face. "How did you come by this conclusion?"

"We saw the video just before you entered. The woman walked in, waved her hands in the air and Kaiba-sama vanished or so we thought. She walked over towards his chair and picked up the baby you have in your arms."

"Did you question her?"

"She's not revealing anything. We are taking her to Kaiba's private holding cell and called the police telling them we released her. We'll keep a close eye on here and question her again later. If we told the police they truth, they wouldn't believe us, and I don't want to risk losing her if she knows how to fix this. I sent someone to the store to shop for supplies. If you don't mind, I'm going to have everything shipped to your house. I'm sure he would appreciate you of all people to take care of him. No one else would believe us and you seem to adapt well to a baby."

Jounouchi sighed. "Don't give me any trouble, Chibi-chan. I guess I'll need several days off from work and to talk to Yugi. Maybe he has some ideas until you can get that woman to talk. When will everything arrive?"

"This afternoon. I'll have the car brought around for you."

"Not the limousine. Even though I no longer live in the worst neighborhood, I still don't live in the safest one. It's bad enough people will see a bunch of things being brought into my house; I don't need to arrive in a limousine."

"Of course, Jounouchi-san. Please keep Kaiba-sama safe. I'll keep in touch with you." Isono escorted the two outside and waited for them until a black SUV with tinted back windows pulled up in front of them. He opened the door and watched as the blond drove off with his boss in his arms.

Jounouchi glanced down at Kaiba every couple minutes. The baby was very quiet, barely moving. He wondered if the once adult was in shock or didn't understand what was occurring. The blond was voting on shock more than him not understanding. He moved Kaiba slightly watching as the bright blue eyes turned to him. "It's going to be okay. We'll figure this out." The blond didn't know why he had the urge to comfort the man, but he acted on it. The ride to his apartment was surprisingly short, but once he arrived the truck was waiting for him. He knew Kaiba had efficient staff, but he didn't expect them to be that good.

He unlocked the front door, leading into his complex and informed the office staff in the lobby that he had a few things delivered. They agreed to let the men come and go. He took the elevator with the first wave of men and a long black haired woman that didn't know what to say. After they were inside she turned to him. "Have you ever taken care of a baby before?"

"Not by myself, but I have a little sister I used to help my mother take care of her. I can change dirty diapers and feed him."

The woman sighed and watched as the men began unpacking everything. "As soon as they get the crib put together we'll put him down for a nap, and I'll give you a crash course."

Jounouchi waited for the men to finish what they were doing. He knew that Kaiba would not be taking any naps unless he was tired and that was a stretch. He was used to working through the night and barely sleeping on most nights. The blond looked down at him and shook his head. "Listen here, Chibi-chan, when I put you down to take lessons from this nice woman, you are not to scream." The brunet turned his head and buried his nose into the blanket that surrounded him. He knew what was going on and didn't like the situation what so ever. He didn't like to be turned into things other than himself; however, he was grateful that Jounouchi would be the one taking care of him. At least he was used to supernatural events and could handle when things went astray, not to mention that he trusted him full heartily. He wouldn't tell the ex-duelist that, at least not yet.

Kaiba was preoccupied with his own thoughts the he barely registered that Jounouchi had set him down in the crib. The mattress didn't feel like the soft one he was used to sleeping on, but it wasn't hard like sleeping on the couch in his office. He found his small body yawning without him knowing it and slowly his eyes drifted closed. Maybe a small nap wouldn't hurt him. It had been a few days since he slept longer than a few hours. He wanted to sit up and watch the blond take his Baby 101 course, but the sweet lullaby of sleep was calling to him. His last thoughts were of his brother who started college a few months ago. What would Mokuba think of this situation? Would he laugh and tell Kaiba that he was in capable hands? Would he be angry that something like this would happen while they were separated for the first time? Would he blame him for making that woman angry enough to put a curse on him? He did recognize that woman's name but right at that moment he didn't know why he remembered it. And, why was he thinking about this when the warmth he felt wrapped in the thick blanket was enough to welcome him to slumberland?

The blond walked over to the crib after hearing everything about what not to do and what to do with babies. He never wanted to know most of what she was telling him and knew that Kaiba was conscious enough to communicate with him through things other than cries. He half expected the CEO's blue eyes to shine back at him, but he smiled when he saw that he was sleeping soundly in the crib. "Now that wasn't so hard," he whispered, gently running his fingers along Kaiba's soft cheek. He knew the brunet was very attractive as an adult, but didn't realize that a child version of him would be adorable. His eyes glowed from beneath the messy brown hair and now had a childlike curiosity. He wondered how long Kaiba would be trapped in this form and knew that he would soak this experience to the maximum. He always liked children as long as they weren't his. Kaiba as a child made him wonder if the slightly older man ever considered having children of his own. That thought caused a growl to come from his throat. In order for the CEO to have children he would have to be with a woman. He would hate to see him with a woman. It was a nightmare to him. He gasped, realizing where his thoughts were traveling.

Why should he care who Kaiba dates or even sleeps with? He groaned and bowed his head. Who was he kidding? He liked the man, maybe even loved. He shook his head and sighed. "Stop lying to yourself," he told himself. "You do love him. He gently unwrapped the blanket that was around the brunet and reached for a long shirt. He didn't know what would happen and didn't want him lying naked under the blankets. He gently slipped it over Kaiba's head and moving him very little, he managed to get the long shirt on him without waking him, shocking him. The shirt was too long for him to walk in, but he figured the CEO wouldn't be doing much of that any time soon. Jounouchi moved away from the crib. Just because Kaiba was extremely attractive doesn't excuse his poor personality or the fact that he harassed the blond daily. He stopped just as he reached the remote when a sudden thought struck him. There was no way Kaiba had a crush on him. He turned the television on and sat on the couch. It made sense, in a child's point of view, but Jounouchi didn't think of the CEO knew how to ask anyone out on a date. It must be even harder to ask someone of the same gender. Jounouchi glanced over at the crib, vowing to make it easier. Without letting Kaiba know he suspected his true feelings.

Jounouchi watched television for several hours, allowing Kaiba all the rest he needed. He was going to call Yugi later after the CEO awoke. He was about to switch channels when a bright like flashed over the crib. "Kaiba?" he shouted, worried that something horrible happened. He leaned over and gasped. He moved the blankets further off the brunet who sat up slightly. "Well I say you're about a year old now," he said, glancing at his watch. "That could mean a few things, either you gain a year every time you sleep or every few hours. That would be much easier than breaking the curse."

"Easy say," Kaiba babbled, making a noise that sounded like a kitten growling afterwards. He knew words he wanted to say but couldn't get them out.

The blond chuckled and reached into the crib, picking the small version of his boss up. "You know the words but can't say them. That's cute. You can't yell at me yet. That would also explain why you didn't say anything as an infant."

"Down."

"No. I promised your staff that I'd take care of you and that means not putting you down on a filthy floor. I need to clean it first." Jounouchi walked over to the playpen that was built earlier and placed Kaiba inside.

"No," the brunet screamed, getting to his feet with the help of the bars.

The blond sighed and knelt next to the brunet. "Listen to me. I have to run the vacuum and clean a little before I let you crawl or waddle on this floor. I didn't want to do that while you were sleeping." Kaiba moved away from him and sat in the middle of the pen with his back to him. "Fine, pout and don't you dare open the playpen."

Kaiba turned his head and stared up at the blond with tears glistening in his eyes. "'Ounchi, please."

The ex-duelist paused, feeling his heart break at that sad face. "Kaiba, it's only for a few minutes. I promise to let you out after that. I would put you on the couch if I trusted the fact that you would stay there." The blond walked slowly away, unable to take the small moisture that fell down Kaiba's puffy cheeks. He had never seen the man like that. He could understand the brunet's reasoning for not wanting to be placed inside of what must look like a prison, but he had to be in there for his own protection.

Jounouchi moved quickly to the closet and pulled out the vacuum, determined to finish cleaning within thirty minutes or less, hoping that the brunet wouldn't be close to tears by the end. He vacuumed around the area, noticing that Kaiba had moved away from the middle of the pen to the far corner closest to the wall with his back still to the blond. If he didn't see the tears before, he would think that the man was pouting until he got his way.

Once the floor was cleaned and everything was "childproof," Jounouchi opened the pen and sat directly outside. "Okay, it's safe to come out." The brunet didn't move for a second before he slowly turned towards the blond with tears rolling down his cheeks. "It's okay. I'm not mad. Don't cry, Kaiba." He reached the rest of the way into the pen and picked him up. He was instantly bombarded with a horrible smell. "Oh, I see." Tears ran faster down his cheeks. "No, it's okay. Your body thinks you are a baby even though your mind is that of an adult. I'll get you cleaned up so stop crying."

Kaiba sniffed before slumping in Jounouchi's arms. He hated the fact that not only was he a small infant that could barely talk, but he had no control of his bodily functions. He looked up at the blond smiling gently down at him. He knew that in the past he didn't trust the man, but at this moment he proved that he was the better person. He placed the sniffling brunet down on the changing table and handed him a clean diaper. "Can you try to open that for me? We can see how much your hand and eye coordination was affected by the change."

Kaiba stared at the object for a second before moving his one hand over the fold. It seemed difficult to get the object to cooperate, but he didn't give up until the diaper was completely opened. He smiled at the success and handed it back to Jounouchi. "Good job." He lifted Kaiba's legs and quickly put the diaper around him. He reached for the bag that was sitting beside the table that held several different clothes and placed a pair of pants that looked like it would fit him on. They seemed a little too big, but they would work for the time beginning. He threw the long shirt away and replaced it with a slightly smaller shirt that still gave Kaiba room to move in it. "There now that wasn't so bad."

The CEO blinked and looked down at himself. Without even realizing it, Jounouchi had cleaned and changed his diaper and placed new clothes on him. He chuckled and reached his arms towards the blond. "Up."

"Yes, sir." The ex-duelist carried Kaiba over to the couch and placed him on his lap with his back leaned against his chest. "Do you want to watch some television?"

"No."

"You do realize you can't do anything else but sit here unless you want to play with your toys."

"Work."

"It took you some time to open the diaper. I don't think you'll be able to work on the computer. How about if you relax and watch some television?"

Kaiba took a deep breath and sighed. He knew the blond was right, but he still had urges to work. It was depressing him not being able to work when he wanted to. He turned and glanced at the animated movie Jounouchi was watching. "No."

"I happen to like this movie. You'll like it once you start watching it."

The brunet grumbled and glanced at his small hands. It would take him forever to get used to how small they were. He played with fingers for a little while before growing bored of that and looking up at the movie. Every now and then, Jounouchi's chest vibrated from his suppressed chuckles. It felt odd sitting in his lap, but he wasn't objecting. It felt warm and safe. He turned slightly almost falling off his legs, but the blond reached down and fixed him without taking his eyes off the screen. Grumbling he moved again until he finally turned sideways with his legs hanging off the side of one of Jounouchi's. He placed his ear against his chest and listed to the soft beating of his heart. The lullaby eased him into another slumber that he thought he wouldn't need since he just woke up from one.

Jounouchi smiled as he looked down at the brunet. He knew that babies slept a lot, but he didn't think Kaiba would fall asleep that quickly. He reached behind him for the blanket he usually draped over the back and placed it on his legs and around the brunet. He turned the volume down on the television and decided to let the young man sleep for as long as he needed.
