Neko Yasha: hey every one! let me just say that i'm soooooo sorry i didn't get this chapter out sooner!

i was at my dad's for the weekend and i had a dr.'s appointment on monday. and, well, i just kinda blew it off on tuesday.

but i'm here now! and with a great chapter too! this one's called the mcdonald's maham. and it's based on a true story!

my friend Paul and i once started a mosh pit in the mcdonald's play place when we were baby sitting my little cousin.

only in this chapter, Seto doesn't do it on purpose.

Hiei: sure he doesn't. i always knew he was a trouble maker!

Neko Yasha: and this is coming from the guy who tried to destroy the world, on several occasions.

CK: *cries* how could you do that Hiei?!

Hiei: -_- you were trying to destroy it with me!

CK: *snifle* b-but...i was only in it for the sex and money!

Neko Yasha: *sigh* ok. any way, i'm not sure which chapter this is..i lost track.

but here it is any way!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Seto's P.O.V)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

after the long and dreadful shopping trip, i sat in the limo, doing my best to get Joey dressed

before we got home. so far, i had the diaper half way on and a shirt partically pulledover his head.

gimme a break, i haven't done this in years! not since mokub was a baby. obviously, i was out of practice.

oh, and incase i forgot to mention this earlier, my black italian leather seats soon became my white italian leather

seats after i had spilled nearly a whole bottle of baby powder all over the back seats, which is going to be impossible

to wash out. i sighed as i watched Joey grin at me around the blue and red pacifier he was now happily suckling on.

"you're enjoying this aren't you?" as if answering my question, he burst out in giant fits of giggles, pointing and laughing

at my powder soaked face, which wasn't too different from my usual pale complexion. i sighed, and opened my mouth to speak

but stopped as i heard a low grumble from the pit of Joey's stomach, followed by one of my own.

'oh that's right. i haven't eaten in four days.'knowing full well that we had little to no food at home, due to my severe

need to go grocery shopping, i peered out the black tinted window, searching for some local fast food joint or maybe a deli

where i could find something to eat. spotting a mcdonald's by the next exit, i quickly ordered the driver to stop.

i usually don't eat fast food. well, actually, i usually don't eat at all. but this time i was surprisingly hungy, as well

as Joey, and i didn't have any way to heat the baby formula i had previously purchased, so i figured i'd give it a shot.

it couldn't be that bad, right? i've seen mokuba eat their food, and i vaguely remember going there my self in my younger

years. so i took a deep breath, put on an incredibly fake smile and walked up to the cashier. the lady standing at the

cash register was some what attractive. she had long, thick curly red hair, bright sparkling hazel eyes, and her face was

littered with patchy brown freckles. yeah, i'd say she's fairly good looking. but then again, i wasn't really interested

in women. standing in front of the cashier, i gently cradled the sleeping baby in my arms, careful not to wake him as

i waited for her to notice me. once i had her attention, she leaned in to whisper in my ear, as not to wake the blonde

chibi. "Welcome to mcdonald's, what can i get for you today?" i had already made up my mind long before she had asked

me what i wanted, so i waisted no time in ordering. the sooner we get out of here, the better.

"i'll take a #7, an apple pie and some orange juice." (A/N: a #7 is the crispy chicken meal. my personal fav.)

she nodded, quickly punching in my order. "that'll be $4.39 for the meal and you can have the apple pie and the orange

juice for free, just for the baby, since he's so adorable!" she said quietly, gently pinching Joey's cheek, making him stir

in his sleep, but not wake. i smiled and thanked her, handing her the money and grabbing my food before heading back

towards the door. "Mommy, i wanna go in the play place!" i heard some kid shout. something about that caught my attention,

so i turned and gazed in curiosity as several kids piled into a giant room, filled with slides and such.

i let out a little 'hmmm' as i thought of how entertaining this would be for Joey, which means i'd get a little break until

we had to go home. i smiled deviously to my self before carrying Joey into the play place and finding us a spare table.

after setting down our food, i gently set Joey in the high chair and shook him a bit, making his honey brown eyes slowly

blink open, then shut quickly as the sun light hit his still half asleep face. i chuckled and reached into the bag, then

pulled out the apple pie and orange juice, followed by my own food. i figured i'd let Joey eat first then eat while he was

playing, so i reached into my metal breif case and pulled out a small plastic transparent green bottle. i unsccrewed the

top and carefully poured the orange juice into the bottle before handing it to Joey and proceeding to tear the apple

pie into smaller pieces so he didn't choke. it took him a minute before he got the hang of holding the bottle on his own,

obviously not used to it, but after that he seemed to be doing just fine suckling away at the rubber nipple, purposely

made to resemble the mother's breast. after he had grown tired of the juice and set the bottle on the high chair tray,

i scooted my chair forward and began feeding him the apple pie bits, placing each piece on his tiny pink tongue, then

letting him chew them on his own. after he had finished off most of the pieces and refused to eat any more, picked him

up out of the high chair, removed his shoes and carried him over to the ball room, where the younger kids played so they

wouldn't get hurt. i smiled at the children then set Joey down, whom was immediately surrounded by girls who cooed

and cried over how adorable he was and how fun it would be to play with him. i smiled and turned to go back to our table,

when i heard an irritated growl followed by several high pitched screams. i turned to see two girls, around the age of 5,

each with one of Joey's arms in their grasps, tugging with all their might, making him squirm and squeel.

i quickly ran back to the ball room, making a grab for Joey. but before i could reach him, one of the girls pulled him

away, and out of my grasp, resulting in me, landing flat on my stomach in the giant mass of balls. (A/N: not those balls

you pervert!) i growled and began to get up, when i suddenly felt an extra weight on my back. 'that can't be good...'

i looked up and over only to catch sight of my grinning, giggling, next door neighbor Zach, baring his gapped teeth

at me. "you wanna play too Seto?" before i could protest, Zach began to bounce repeatedly on his back, screaming

'come ride the pony every body!' (A/N: hehe, i'm just a big ol' pervert, aren't i?)soon at least 6 or 7 kids

were piled on my back, ripping at my hair, clothes, and any thing else they could get their hands on, all the while i was

screaming for mercy, which is something Seto kaiba doesn't usually do. or ever do for that matter. as i screamed lowder

and lowder, i vaguely heard a familiar voice, giggling and laughing as they probably looked down on me. i looked up

and wasn't surprised to see Bakura. "What the hell do you want?!" i snapped at him. he smirked at me, gesturing towards

th hurd of kids jumping on my back. "Well, i was going to help you out, but if you're going to be rude about it..."

my eyes had to be at least 3 times their normal size. 'he wants to help me?!' "something has to be up. you don't even

know the meaning of help!" Bakura let a tsk sound escape his lips as he plced his thumb and index finger to his chin,

contemplating my situation. "you're really in no position to bargain, you know? but, if you want it that way, i can just

leave you with these kids...perhaps, as revenge, for the little magician incident?" he began to walk away, but

before he could take another step, i lept forward and latched onto his leg. "No! i, i'll do any thing! just help me..."

i really didn't like the gleam in his eyes. that usually ment there had to be something in it for him.

"say the magic words"
