Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, okay?

Seto left the two in peace, if anyone could help Yugi, it was Yami. He walked down stairs only to find black smoke coming from his kitchen.

"JOEY!" Seto exclaimed as he ran into the kitchen. There was Joey sitting at the table watching it burn. "What in all of God's creation are you doing? Put out the fire!" Seto yelled.

"Well ya told me ta watch it, so I did!" he said running to put the fire out with water. Unfortunately, one this wasn't Seto's days, and two it was a grease fire. (For all of you who don't know, you NEVER put water on a grease fire, it makes it worse. You have to smother the flames.)

The fire spat at them and flamed out more.

"SHIT!" Seto screamed smothering the flames with a glass top. He sat down and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Oh Joey . . ." he said.

"Ya," Joey said looking to an extremely mad Seto.

"Do you even know how to cook?" he asked his rage raising.

"A . . . no not really, but then again ya didn't ask if I knew how to cook, ya asked me ta watch it," he said trying to build up a defense. Guess what . . . it didn't work.

Seto got up, ready to strangle the boy, when Mokuba came in.

"Seto, I am going to be late for school for one, and two my bus just passed," he said looking out the window.

"Oh boy, Mokuba get in the car," he said then he turned to Joey, "YOU don't go ANYWHERE, I will deal with you when I get back," he said leaving the house in a mad rage.

Upstairs Yami could hear all the yelled and only guessed that Joey had almost burned down the kitchen along with the rest of the house. He smiled at that, and then his attention turned to Yugi.

"Yugi, hey now aibou take it easy," he said replacing the cold washcloth on his forehead. Yugi whimpered with it cool contact. Then his eyes opened slightly.

"Y-Yami?" he asked.

"Yes I am here as I have been ever since you fell asleep. You have to rest, Seto said you were running a very high fever," Yami said.

"But m-my grandpa," he said.

"Shhh we will get him as soon as you are well. There now I gave you some incentive to get better, now sleep," he said.

Yugi gladly complied; he was to tired to argue anyway.

Yami left the room to refresh the bucket of cold water; he was back at Yugi's side as soon as he could.

Back down stairs Joey was praying the mother load of all traffic to occur and save his, so, fried butt. Well . . . no such luck for as quickly as he left he returned.

Joey curled into a ball and said, "Please, I didn't mean ta, it just happened."

Just as Seto was about to, well kill Joey, the doorbell rang. Seto once again seized his attack on the scared boy and went to the door to answer it.

"Hello, Kaiba residence," he said opening the door.

"Yes, hello, we are here to pick up our boy. His name is Yugi, Yugi Motuo," they said with a threatening tone.

"Um . . . I can not return him to you," Seto said in a calm voice.

"And why not, he rightfully belongs to us," the mother said.

"Well I have evidence that you have beaten the child for no moral reason, is that true maim?" Seto asked glaring at her. He didn't have any friends before he met Yugi and Yami, he wasn't about to loose both now.

"That is none of you business brat," she screamed kicking him in the ribs and sending him flying.

"Yami, watch out, Yugi's parents are here. They are after Yugi," Seto screamed up the stairs. A few minutes later a boy, looking very much like Yugi, came running down the stairs. He ran to Seto first to see if he was okay, after seeing he was fine he turned his attention to Yugi's parental units.

"You, you hurt my aibou. You hit My Light over and over again, you injured an innocent. And yet you dare come here and look me in the eye and ask from the boy back. I will not allow it, for your crimes against the innocent you will be punished," Yami said, the third eye on his forehead started to glow. All of a sudden the thrust his hand out in front of him and screamed, "MIND CRUSH."

Both screamed and fell to the floor, there souls lost forever.

Seto watched in amazement as did Joey from the kitchen. When the light faded both turned to Yami as for some sort of explanation.

"I banished there souls to the shadow realm forever," he said then without another word he turned and went upstairs to Yugi. He wanted to be near the boy, for the next time he woke up he would tell him about his parents.

"Listen Seto, I really am sorry for destroying breakfast," Joey said.

Seto looked up at him and smiled, "Well I guess I can forgive you, what should we order for breakfast?" Seto asked.

"PIZZA," exclaimed Joey.

"No way, I am not going to order Pizza for breakfast, haven't you ever heard of a well balanced breakfast?" Seto yelled running after Joey who and gone to order it. Unfortunately he was too late and pizza was on the way.

Yami's eyes drooped once again; he was tired but had to be there for Yugi.

"Y-you should s-sleep Yami," Yugi said tiredly.

"Yugi how long have you been awake, I have some news for you," he said.

"Not t-to long, what I-is the n-news?" he asked.

"Well your parents were here but I got rid of them, for good that is. I banished there souls to the shadow realm, you will never have to out up with them again!" he said with a smile. He could see the tears in Yugi's eyes, and for once, he knew that it wasn't because he was hurt.

Yami gathered the small boy in his arms and let him weep his tears of joy.

"I am telling you Yugi, I will protect you from now on and for ever," he said. When he looked to the small boy he noticed that he, once again, had fallen asleep in his arms.
