Of Things Created
Chapter 4
"Yuu- Yuuuuu-gi!", Yami cried out, as he had been managing to do for at least the past couple days, "Hun.",
Yami still hadn't gotten a whole lot of words, the main two being his, and Yugi's names, the third word he could almost say was hungry. This, do to the fact that he seemed to always be hungry for raw hamburger. Yugi still hadn't figured out what Yami was quite yet, obviously not normal, that was sure. The soul link still remained, yet, all messages remained around the same thing, food. As the doorbell rang, Yugi opened it for Joey, who had come to visit after being told about Yami's changes. As Jou approached the kitchen, he saw Yami chomping down on his meal. After Yami was finished, he sat like a cat might, and looked up at Joey, his thick tail flicking back, and forth. "Hey, Yami, how've you been, hmn?", Joey asked.
"Hun.", Yami responded, with a yawn.
"Yugi what does hun. mean?", Joey asked.
"Hungry, but don't feed him, that's how he tricks people into giving him more food.", Yugi told Joey.
Yami glared at Yugi for spoiling the potential for another meal, before following Yugi into the living room. As Joey sat down it caused Yami to have to move, which, made his spikes bristle with unhappiness of moving. "Jou, watch his spikes, they can be very sharp.", Yugi told him.
.....
He looked down at the puny creature that had hatched from the sky blue egg, it cried out endlessly and could only fit into the palm of his one hand. "Get rid of it, the weakling!", the scientist bellowed.
The same guy as last time took the thing by it's thin tail, and stuck it inside a basket ten times it's own size, and walked off with the basket in hand.
.....
It had been about half a year since Yami had returned as the creature he was now. His speech had gotten to be a lot better over that time, and he learned to keep his spikes tucked down under the fur. "Yu-gi, you wa- wa- walk to f- fast.", Yami complained, walking on all fours beside him, "Sssssssssl- owa down.",
Yugi glanced at Yami, who was now about the size of a pretty large dog, and would be at least to his chest if he stood on two legs. Only, he found it easier just to crawl on all fours but, Yugi didn't mind, he had Yami back. "I'm sorry, just thinking about how to explain you to Ryou.", Yugi muttered.
"Yami made a whine that was his version of 'Yeah, right.', "Wi-tha Batu- kurra he could be- be-....", Yami stammered.
"Stuck on your L's again?", Yugi asked, mildly.
Yami nodded, "Be- lieve anything! Got it.",
"Yes, you finally nailed that word, didn't you, now?", Yugi said, smiling.
After Yami learned to talk to Yugi slightly well, he told Yugi that all the growling was actually a language within itself. Though Yami didn't understand why exactly he knew that information. Yugi found that Yami was lacking in his shadow magic as well. This didn't bother the former Pharaoh however, he just snorted as if it to say 'Does it really matter to me?'.
Just as the two reached Ryou's door, they both seen the basket on the front step and Yami ran ahead, his talons clicking against the sidewalk. He stuck his nose in among the blankets, and started to snuff his way around in it, until he stopped dead, pulling his nose out carefully. Sitting clutching to his snout was a small, silvery blue, winged creature. It had white hair on it's head, and it cried it's little lungs out at being disturbed. "It's.... No, it can't be... Could it?", Yugi asked.
"It is.", Yami responded, gently setting the screaming Bakura back in among the blankets.
Just then, Ryou opened the door, Yugi grabbed the basket and Yami followed him inside. "Ryou, that's my Yami...", Yugi said, rushing through all the details, then he held up the basket, "This is Bakura.",
Ryou shrugged, "So what?",
Yugi looked shocked at Ryou's response, "So what?",
"Yeah, what's the big deal? He could die for all I care, it's not like he cared if I lived at all now is it?", Ryou argued.
"You mean, just because?....", Yugi started to sputter, "You'd let something that can't even fend for itself die?!",
"He'd do it to me too if I was like him, now wouldn't he?", Ryou asked.
"FINE! BE LIKE THAT, I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM THEN!!!!!", Yugi yelled in Ryou's face, "YOU ARE NOW JUST AS BAD AS HE WAS!",
With that said, Yugi picked the now wailing Bakura up from amid the blankets, only to have Bakura cry louder. "Shhh, now, quiet.", Yugi whispered.
"You make it seem like it's a ba-", Ryou was cut off by Yami's growling at him.
"Everyone deser-vesa secont chhhanccce!", Yami hissed out, turning abruptly towards Yugi, who was still having difficulty shutting Bakura up.
Ryou looked utterly shocked, before slowly walking over to Yugi, "I.... You.... You were right, okay?", Ryou said, "Sorry I was being such an ass.",
"Here, just make it up to him.", Yugi handed Bakura to Ryou.
The small creature stopped crying in an instant, and sat there sniffing Ryou's hand. "Come on we need to get him something to eat.", Yugi sighed, "Come on, we'll try to get him to eat some hamburger.",
Yugi got Bakura to eat a little hamburger, only to have him gag on it, and puke it back up. "Oh- no, no, he's too young for solid food....", Yugi looked at Ryou, "I don't know what kind of formula these things need.",
So, as the couple days of the weekend went by, Bakura grew sickly, and thin. On Sunday night, Ryou lay in bed listening to Bakura's feeble cries from his hunger and let the tears drip down his face. "I- I didn't mean it, I don't want him to die....", Ryou whispered to himself.
