Yugi: Here's the second update for PhantomBrat's Christmas present to her wonderful readers.
Ryou: Hope you guys enjoy it.
Amethyst-Jade: Thanks for untying boys.
Malik: No problem. By the way, we hid our yamis' cards until after the new year as punishment. Please don't send them to the Shadow Realm.
Amethyst-Jade: I wouldn't do that. I would tie them up and force them to watch hours of toddler-friendly shows instead.
Ryou, Yugi, Malik: O.o

Yugi was the first in the house to wake the next morning. He wanted to spend some time with his best friends, and explore the area. Atem had explained that his dad ran the salvage yard as a cover and for parts that they could adapt to their cars' needs. Dean had been complaining that he needed a certain part and that one of his usual dealers wouldn't have the piece in for a few weeks.
He met the other two at the kitchen table, "Morning guys."
Ryou and Malik returned his greeting. They began to make a hearty breakfast for the still sleeping men. They almost always rose with the sun, that is, unless they had a rough night or were not feeling well.
Bobby entered the room and saw that the meal was being prepared, "Mornin' boys."
"Good morning, Mr. Singer," they replied at once.
Yugi placed the full pot of coffee next to him, "We'll have breakfast done in a few minutes. I hope you like omelettes and Cinnamon-raisin rolls."
"Alright," Bobby replied, pouring a cup of coffee, "But none of that Mr. Singer crap. It's either Bobby, Uncle Bobby or, in your case kiddo, Dad."
Yugi's eyes went wide, "Seriously?
"Yeah seriously, boy. If you want to," Bobby stated. He noticed the tears in Yugi's eyes, "What's with the waterworks?"
"I never got to know my dad before he died. Grandpa was the only family that I knew my whole life. Thank you," Yugi cried as he hugged the man. He sniffled and then tested the unfamiliar title, "Dad."
Bobby patted the Hikari on the back, "It'll be alright, kiddo."
Unfortunately for Bobby, Dean walked in and swiped the cooling mug of coffee, "Can't you wait to do the Chick Flick thing when there's not an audience?"
He was answered with a raisin hitting him between the eyes, courtesy of Malik.

Dean's punishment for taunting Bobby was that he had to wait until all occupants of the property were awake and in the kitchen to eat. He was not happy about this because Bakura and Marik were late sleepers regardless of when they went to bed. "You reap what you sow Dean. Now stop moping," Bobby stated.
Yugi decided to try and cheer him up, "Maybe everyone'll be up if they knew that Ryou made the rolls and that there's only enough for one of them to have two."
"That's right. Bakura and Marik are really only motivated to get up when I make sweets," Ryou pointed out. "Most often, Atem has to threaten them to get up before noon."
Malik left to inform his brother and Bakura of the extra sweet roll and the challenge to get to the table in order to earn it. Yugi had gone to wake his own twin for breakfast, leaving the three in the kitchen to wait.
LINE
Once Bakura and Marik knew of the rolls, they were struggling to be the first to the kitchen. Marik tripped Bakura, who quickly pulled him down. Bakura scrambled up after grabbing Marik's foot and bringing him down, and was first out the door. After rushing to get up, Marik shoved the RV door open wider, knocking him to the ground. The second that Marik was clear of the steps, Bakura tackled him to the ground and darted for the house. Marik let out a wild cry as he ran after his friend/temporary opponent, and tackled him. Atem was at the back door and opened it as the two tumbled inside, unable to stop due to Marik's inertia. Dean had never seen the two so intent on obtaining one thing that wasn't destructive, though their method for getting said item was somewhat destructive.
Malik was laughing at the pair while they struggled to get up from the floor, "Just wait till the others see the video this time! You two are hilarious!"
He had caught the scene on his camera-phone.
All the commotion had brought Sam to full awareness. He stumbled into the kitchen, "What's with all the noise?"
"Oh," Malik began, "Just my brother's morning routine of trying to 'earn' the extra cinnamon roll. He and Bakura try to sabotage the other's attempts to get to have it."
LINE
It turned out that Ryou had made enough rolls for everyone to have an extra one each. After breakfast had been finished and the dishes washed, the Hikaris went to explore the junkyard for the part that Dean needed. He had handed them a picture to compare to other similar parts. "Yami said that we should try the rows by the back shed," Yugi announced. "That's where they keep the cars like Dean's. Atem said that if we find the part, we need to let them know which car."
They spent the next hour searching for the requested part. Malik found it in a red car just barely accessible from the pile of scrapped vehicles. He called his friends over and they tagged it with green spray paint. Ryou and Yugi figured that they should tag another car with the same part just in case the first was useless. After tagging the cars, they headed back to the house to tell Dean where the part, and the back-up, were.
LINE
"Very good, boys," Dean praised them after retrieving the parts. "I have to admit that you're a lot faster than the two psychopaths and their leader. What's your secret?"
Malik glared at Dean, "First off don't call our brothers that. And we work better together."
"Malik's faster and better at fighting than we are," Ryou stated calmly. "Yugi can create strategies faster than anyone we know."
"And Ryou's good at cooking and medical stuff," Yugi finished.
Dean looked at Yugi, "So if I were to tell you that two guys are Hunting a bloodthirsty vampire that used to be a Hunter. The vamp has a victim tied up, and she's calm. They rescue the vic, but get separated. What would you do if you are either guy?"
"Well for one, there's two possible reasons that the victim is calm. She's either drugged or was Turned. Test her first. And if I were the one that is alone, I'd keep against the wall. I'd walk sideways, keeping the wall to my back, until I reached a corner. This way, no one can sneak up on me from one of three directions. I'd have the advantage of forcing my attacker approach from the front as it would take away his advantage of hunting me in an unknown place," Yugi finished.
Dean was shocked, "Wow kid, I never thought of that before."
"Just don't try to challenge him to a strategy game. He never loses," Malik smirked. "Not once."
"Dang," Dean whistled as he retrieved the parts. "So seriously, you three are 26?"
Ryou nodded, "Yes we are. You?"
"30, Sammy's four years younger," Dean stated, not realizing that he just gave his and Sam's ages out without thinking.

Atem had ordered several pizzas in order to keep the Hikaris from having to cook dinner. The three hybrids looked at the toppings and groaned. Even before they were Turned, they hated pineapples, ham, and sausage on their pizzas. They looked at Atem with the saddest kicked-puppy-eyes they could muster. He smiled and pulled out a stack of two boxes, "I didn't forget your favorites; pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, olives, peppers, and extra cheese."
Yugi and Ryou cheered as Malik was handed the boxes. They sat down on the stairs and dug into the hot food. Dean was watching the whole time, surprised that the three acted like sixteen-year-olds in that moment. He couldn't believe that the kicked-dog look was effective on Atem. The man wasn't easily swayed by the depressed, begging look...ever. 'Was it the fact that he had a younger brother to look after?'
After eating their dinner, the three smaller males went to Atem and then to his and Yugi's room. They were gone for a few minutes and he returned with Ryou and Malik looking a bit tired. Bakura and Marik led their brothers to the RV while Atem stayed inside. "Yugi fell asleep after taking some medicine," he stated when he noticed the look of confusion on Dean's face. "They've had a long day."
He still couldn't figure out how to tell his Dad and the Winchester boys that the three younger males were the Hikari Vampires he was talking about.

Amethyst-Jade, that wasn't funny. You're supposed to play nice with the yamis.
Amethyst-Jade: The only yami that deserves my respect is Atem. Or is it Yami? The other two are complete buffoons.
This is Christmas Day...Please try to be nice to them. Save the pranks for April 1st.
Amethyst-Jade: Alright...I'll try.
Thank you. ^-^
