Chapter Three: Forever And Always My Little One…

As the light died down Yugi saw that he was no longer standing in the chamber of the Pharaoh but in his room. The only difference was that it didn't look completely like his room, but the furniture was different.

A high cradle stood where his bed now stands. The cradle was a soft blue color with a purple bow on the side, and a cloth came down from the ruffles at the top. The 'curtain' was long and went down to the floor with lace barley touching, the pattern on the lace was little blue flowers and it was checkers. The crib was small so the baby wouldn't roll over on its side and suffocate itself and had a blue pillow with yellow lace coming from the sides. I teddy quilt was covering the bed with words stitched across it saying… 'I will always love you my baby'. The changing table stood where his desk stood, a rocker was in the corner and a shelf stood with brightly colored books and toys for babies. A rug with teddy bears was below the crib and a thing was above the crib had soft sun, moon, and stars. Everything besides the room itself, wallpaper, rug, closet, and door was different. But then something caught Yugi's eye. On the shelf besides his 'new' cradle was a golden box with an Egyptian eye on the front. The Millennium Puzzles box, waiting to be put together by the child who would own this room. But looking closely Yugi saw that no living being was in this room.

Then another thing caught his eye, a picture of his father in a suit worn when entering the army and a hat covering his hair. He also had on a tight fitting shirt with a high collar so you couldn't see anything else. His face was covered with a bandana, the same one his Grandpa wears now and only his eyes showed. Yugi took a closer look at the eyes of his father…for he had never known the man and saw that his eyes were a fiery crimson much like the Pharaoh's. He was about to look closer when he heard the door open and his Grandfather walk in, singing a lullaby to his new grandson to make him go to sleep. Yugi, not knowing that he could be seen tried to hide behind something…anything but failed. Yami waited until their Grandfather left the room and then stifled a laugh at his Hikari.

"Oh my Little One, no one can see you here, you are like me in the real world…you'll be ok."

"SHHHH!!!! I'm…I mean the babies sleeping!" Said Yugi in a panic, "do you wanna bring him back up here? Wait…no one can see me OR hear me. Thank God…you could've told me that sooner you know!"

"But I did…you just weren't listening."

"Oh…ok so when do you come into the picture?"

"In a few seconds"

"One, Two, Three…"

Then Yami appeared by the cradle side of the baby.

"Oo nice one!" complemented Yugi.

"Thank you"

"Welcome."

(Ok authors note! Um this might jump around a bit between the present Yami and Yugi to the past Yami and Yugi so to tell you I'm going to put these (Points) which means it switches. Thank you. Oh and this is Yami and Yugi in the past. Thank you)

"Hmmm…what's this…a baby? Are you serious! WHY RA WHY?" Questioned Yami for he thought that this would be the child to deliver him to his resting place but when the baby heard him yelling he woke up and started to cry.

"Um…Shhh? Please? Um please? Uh…I don't know what to do. Great well first things first…I better put a barrier around the room so the old one can't come."

And with that a barrier was put up.

"Ok now that that's taken care of I need to make this one shut up." And with that the baby started to cry even louder.

"I mean the sweet baby…Sweat Drop please don't cry anymore it hurts rather badly…oh my gosh I SWEAR I'M NEVER GOING TO HAVE A KID!!!! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!" Screamed Yami at the infinite and when that was said the baby stopped crying and cooed at him.

"Hmmm…" Thought Yugi's Grandpa. "It seems rather quite up there…what a good little boy my grandson will be. He sleeps so soundly." And smiled to himself while drinking his tea at the table in the kitchen.

Sweat drop "That was rhetorical…what am I doing talking to a baby? You know you crying makes me want to cry because I'm going to go DEAF!" And being yelled at again the baby cried even louder.

"Ok…how do I fix this…think, think, think…what do babies like…a change? No his caretaker just brought him in…I CAN'T THINK!" and with that Yami went into the closet, turned on the light and shut the door which somewhat quieted the crying. At least enough so he could hear his own thoughts.

"Hmm…he doesn't need to be changed cause his caretaker just brought him into the room. So that's not it," said Yami aloud then thought about what he just said and breathed a sigh of relief while putting his hand to his chest. "Thank Ra he doesn't need a change…anyways um maybe he's hungry? No, again the caretaker just brought him up and so he couldn't be hungry…what else does a baby need? Sleep but he won't do that anytime soon? Um…Water, food, sleep, warmth, and changed…that's all a baby requires. Isn't it?" Said the Pharaoh while putting his hand up to his chin to think more.

"Yami…you are so bad…I mean I'm lucky I didn't die if you were watching over me then. What else does a baby need…how about LOVE!" Questioned Yugi to Yami who was a bit embarrassed about not knowing what to do with a baby.

"Yugi…you have to remember that I was once a Pharaoh, and I didn't ever have to look after anyone…I hardly had to look out for myself much less a baby who needs the most attention possible. But I learned…in time…and uh…sorry about yelling at you. I was kind of panicked and yea…" Finished Yami.

"Ya whatever Yami…but seriously how do you not know a baby needs love? LOVE I TELL YOU LOVE!" Yelled Yugi at Yami while putting his arms up in disgust.

Then all of a sudden the former Pharaoh got an idea…love…how could he forget love? I mean really…of all things. Laughing out loud to himself he got up out of the closet and made his way over to the baby. Though he felt a little nervous because he had never help a baby before…or played with a baby…so what would happen if he did something wrong…not that he cared about what happened to the baby out of love, but because this little boy was supposed to help him move on to Heaven. Then another thought struck him. He hadn't even seen what this baby looked like…he had at the hospital but all he could see was a part of the baby's head and face…his eyes were even closed. Looking over the edge of the blue cradle he saw a moving blanket…so he took the blanket off the now squirming baby, and he gasped at what he saw.

Looking down at the baby he saw…himself, but younger. A small pale little baby with yellow bangs, black hair with the outline of red. He wondered if the baby's eyes were the same color as his but as of right now the small ones eyes were shut tight and tears were rolling down his cheeks.

"He's so cute…I mean…he looks ok…now to pick him up…wait I can't. I can't touch things in the real world, only the one person who will help me. I guess this is the test. Sigh Boy this is nerve raking. Ok…come here squirt." And with that Yami reached down and picked up the baby. The baby stopped crying and just stared into the eyes of the one who was holding him. And that's when, for the first time, Yami saw his new Hikari's eyes. He gasped out loud when he saw them at first. Beautiful violet eyes stared back at him…he had never seen violet eyes before and they were the most beautiful color ever. They were wide and in them was confusion and acceptance. Realizing that he was just holding the baby in front of him he came back to reality and put the small one on his shoulder and began to bounce lightly up and down trying to calm down the baby in his arms.

"I don't know what to call you now do I…and you can't tell me." Stated Yami to the baby. In response the baby cooed and smiled at him.

"Hmm…lets see what should I call you? You don't look like a 'sport' yet…too tiny…you are so small…so little aren't you…that's it. I'll call you Little One…yes you are my Little One." Said Yami as he pulled the baby away from his face and smiled, the baby smiled and cooed to let Yami know that he, too, approved of the name.

"My Little One, I promise you I shall always call you that."

And Yami put the baby down but as soon as he did the baby started to cry.

"Shhh…my little one…I promise I'll always be there to protect you from harm.

(Author's Suggestion) (Try listening to You'll be in my heart…the Phil Collins version…Yes there are more then one…it's called Broadway thank you)

"Shhh…it'll be ok, come stop your crying it'll be alright…I promise you'll see my Little One. Just take my hand," and Yami took the babies hand in his and squeezed it.

"Hold it tight, I will protect you from all around you," said Yami to the baby then tipped his chin up so his eyes were looking into Yami's. "Don't you cry."

"For one so small…you seem so strong, to be so young and to not have any parents to help you in life, you are unafraid it seems. But even so I'll hold you in my arms and keep you safe and warm," said Yami bringing the baby closer to his chest and rocking him.

"This bond between us can't be broken…no matter what happens or where you go or what you do, I'll always be with you so don't you cry." Said the Pharaoh

"Cause you'll be in my heart," said "Cause you'll be in my heart," said Yami looking into the violet eyes of his Hikari, which held doubt and questioning.

"Yes…you'll be in my heart. Don't worry…I will never leave you. From this day on, now and forever more." Said Yami as he drew the baby close to his face, so their eyes could meet.

" You..." The baby cooed and smiled. "Yes you'll be in my heart, no matter what anyone says…you will be here," and points to his heart, "in my heart…always."

(Author's Note: Yami will be 'singing' to (present Yami) but Yugi won't be able to hear him cause he freezes time or something. Sweat Drop I'll think of something later but for now that'll do…so when the present Yami Sings it loks like this.)

"Why can't the others stand the way I feel towards him…He's so wonderful and pure…of course I would love him…how could I not? How could anyone not? They just don't like things that are different and can't be explained. I know we are so different my Hikari…but deep inside us…we aren't really different at all…Cause you will always be in my heart from now until always…since that day that I first met you."

"Don't listen to your enemy's, cause what do they know. We need each other to have and hold." And Yugi gripped Yami's finger tighter to show that he understood his friend. "The world will see in time…I know. When destiny calls you, you must be strong my Little One." Said Yami as he help up the baby and then brought him back down to his warm chest and bounced lightly again.

"I'll always be with you so you can hold on…The world will understand in time…I know, and if not we can show them together cause…You'll be in my heart…Believe me you'll be in my heart no matter what happens." Sung Yami lovingly to his reincarnation.

" From this day on, now and forever more…you'll be in my heart no matter what anyone says about you…you'll be in my heart always." Sung Yami as Yugi's little hand touched Yami's chest where his heart was. Yami smiled and saw that Yugi's eyes were getting droopy and he started to go off to sleep. So Yami gently put his sleeping Hikari in his crib and tucked him in the bent over and gave him a kiss on the forehead.

"Always…I'll be with you…I'll be there for you always…always and always…just look over your shoulder…that's all you have to do to find me…I'll be there always…"

And with that Yami sat in the rocking chair…prepared to stay up the whole night to make sure his Little One would be safe and happy. The only thing was that something was deeply troubling the Pharaoh. He had never helped a baby before today and certainly never sung a lullaby to one…so why now? And why did he choose the one his Mother sung to him to make him stop crying? That was his most precious memory and he had given it away to a baby. But in his heart he felt a spark…like that of a father…he vowed to himself then and there to make the song he had sung to his Little One true forever. He felt like a proud father…and he liked the feeling of it.

And with that a bright light emitted from Yami's chest and blinded Yugi and Yami (Present ones) and when Yugi opened his violet eyes again…they were standing outside the door of the unrecognizable symbol. But now Yugi was curious what was on it so he went up to it and scratched away the old rust and stuff and saw that the symbol was a heart.

"It was the first time I learned to care for another…and I'll never forget it…I loved you from then on, but when you were younger I didn't love you like I do now but as a father. I watched you grow and live…" Said Yami coming up behind a startled Yugi.

"Yami…Thank you for that song…I remember now…you would sing to me to make me go to sleep…almost always different songs but with the same meaning. The meaning of you always being there to protect me and stay with me. Thank you…" Finished Yugi as Yami embraced his Hikari around the waist and leaned down to give a light kiss.

"My Little One, would you like to see more?"

"Always."

"Then let us go to the next door."

This door also had an unrecognizable symbol on it but Yugi figured that he would soon know what it was so didn't care much. Once again the door was opened and a bright blinding light was cast upon Yami and Yugi as the stepped into the past to witness how Yami grew so close to his Little One.
