Shinimegami: WOAH! I already have 16 reviews for the first chappie!
Bakura: That's good. ^_^
Shinimegami: Oh, and I'd like to thank all the reviewers who sent in suggestions for the name of the chibi Dark Magician. Hehe, it seems I found a good name all on my own!
Tristan: So their efforts to find a good name were wasted?
Shinimegami: No! I never said that! They were all good names! So, all of them get candy! ^.^ *gives all the reviewers candy*
Yugi: So, what's his name going to be?
Shinimegami: You'll find out in the fic.
Yugi: Okay.
Shinimegami: On with the second chappie!
Disclaimers: Don't we all wish we owned Yu-Gi-Oh?

"Grandpa, what happened? Are you okay?" called Yugi as he and Yami ran down the stairs. They saw Yugi's grandpa kneeling next to the couch, as if trying to coax something out. He looked up as Yugi and Yami stopped near the foot of the stairs.
"Yes, Yugi, I'm fine," he replied. "I heard a noise down here so I came to see what it was. It seems that a child found his way into our house."
"A child?" questioned Yugi. "Is he alright?" His grandpa frowned and lifted the baseball bat.
"I thought it was a burglar at first, so I tried to get him with this," he said. "The poor thing hit the stairs pretty hard. I saw him go behind the couch after I turned on the lights, but I didn't get a good look at him."
"Let me try," Yami offered. He walked over and knelt down next to the couch as well. "It's alright, no one's going to hurt you," he said, reaching behind the couch. There was a sound that sounded like metal hitting against flesh and Yami cried out in pain.
"Something hard hit my hand!" he said, looking at his hand. It looked a little red. Yami growled and reached behind the couch again.
"I think I've got him," said Yami. "Whatever this kid is wearing, it sure is cold and hard." They heard a whimper and Yami pulled the child out from behind the large piece of furniture. All three of them gasped.
"The...the Dark Magician?!" Yami exclaimed. "H-how is that possible? And...what's happened to him?" The frightened magician whimpered again after looking at Grandpa and Yami. When he looked over at Yugi, however, his expression seemed to brighten.
"Okaa-san!" cried the little mage. He struggled free of Yami's grip and ran over to Yugi.
"Mother?" questioned Yugi as the chibi flung his arms around his waist. His little duel monster looked up at him with big blue eyes. (A/N. They're blue, right? Or are they green? I don't know!)
"Okaa-san, he huwted me," he said, pointing at Grandpa with his little staff. Yami and Grandpa couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at the magician. That only made the child hug Yugi closer. Yugi quickly let the shock settle in and smiled down at him.
"It's okay," Yugi soothed. "Grandpa didn't mean to hurt you, did he?" His grandpa smiled and shook his head.
"Of course not," he said.
"See?" said Yugi. "You can trust him. It was all a big misunderstanding." The little one looked up at him with a slightly confused expression. Yami chuckled.
"I don't think you should use big words around him like that," he said, causing his aibou to blush slightly.
"What do you think's happened to him?" asked Yugi. "He looks only three years old!"
"I don't know," said Yami. "I've never experienced anything like this before." A yawn suddenly escaped the little Dark Magician's mouth.
"I think you two should stop worrying about this and get some sleep," suggested Grandpa. "It looks like the little one needs it."
"Grandpa's right," said Yami, also yawning. "It's pretty late."
"You boys go on up to bed," said Grandpa, noticing the pots and pans on the floor. "I'll clean up the kitchen.
"Looks like you were having some fun," Yugi said to the chibi. He giggled and nodded, letting go of the boy's waist. As Yugi turned around to the stairs, he suddenly noticed the little shreds of paper on the coffee table.
"Oh no!" Yugi cried, rushing over to the table. "Joey's science homework! What happened to it?!" The chibi magician appeared to see what was wrong and seemed to realize it was his fault. He walked over to Yugi.
"I sowy," he said quietly. Yugi looked at him and sighed.
"It's okay," Yugi said. "I guess I could just let him copy my science paper, since we have the same teacher." Yugi took the toddler's hand and walked towards the stairs.
"I'll see you in the morning, Aibou," said Yami, and disappeared from the room.
/Lucky,/ said Yugi mentally, beginning to walk up the stairs. /You can just go straight to your soul room./
//I guess it pays off being stuck in a puzzle for five millennia,// Yami said teasingly. //Good night.// The small voice of the Dark Magician broke Yugi's thoughts.
"Okaa-san, where we go?" he asked, taking each step of the stairs slowly.
"We're going to bed now," replied Yugi. "Um, would it be okay if you just called me Yugi?"
"Otay, Yugi," said the tiny mage. When they reached Yugi's room, Yugi knelt down in front of the chibi.
"You probably won't be able to sleep with all that armor on," he said. "Would you like me to take it off for you?" He nodded and Yugi took off the magician's top armor and helmet.
"Personally, I don't think three-year-olds should have to wear heavy armor like this," Yugi said, feeling how heavy it was. After he set it in the corner of his room along with the small staff, Yugi picked up the chibi and set him down on his bed.
"You know, you need a good name," said Yugi, taking off his shoes and jacket. "Would you like a name?" The magician giggled and clapped, showing he wanted one.
Yugi thought for a bit. He wanted a good name for his little Dark Magician. Nothing too hard, but nothing too simple.
"How about Kurai?" asked Yugi. "Would you like to be called Kurai?"
"Otay!" he said, smiling brightly. Yugi felt his heart soften at the chibi's face.
"Alright, you can sleep in my bed for now," Yugi said. "I'll go get a sleeping bag for myself." Yugi was about to get up, when Kurai grabbed his arm.
"Yugi..." said Kurai in slight protest.
"You...want me to stay with you?" asked Yugi. Kurai nodded and hugged the boy's waist once more. Yugi sighed and pulled back the covers. He climbed into the bed with Kurai still clinging to him. Yugi laid down and Kurai snuggled closer to him. Pulling the blankets over them, Yugi draped an arm around Kurai's small body. Before Yugi fell asleep, a thought came into his mind.
How was he going to explain what happened to Joey's science homework?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shinimegami: Was that good? Tell me that was good. That was good, right?
Yami: Don't be so tense.
Shinimegami: I can't help it!
Tristan: Hey, what does "Kurai" mean, by the way?
Shinimegami: It means "dark." I thought it would go well with a chibi Dark Magician, don't you?
Joey: But I thought "Yami" meant "dark."
Shinimegami: Some Japanese words mean the same thing. I was also thinking about naming the chibi Murasaki.
Téa: What does that mean?
Shinimegami: It means "purple" or "violet." It would've done well, but I figured it was a little long and kinda hard to pronounce for the little guy.
Joey: By the way, where is he? That little monster ripped up my science homework! I have a score to settle with him!
Kurai: *snuggled up in Yugi's lap*
Yugi: Shush! He's sleeping.
Joey: Oh, sorry.
Shinimegami: Well, I hope all you people liked the second chappie! It'll get even better! Until the third chappie, ja ne! ^.~
Bakura: That's good. ^_^
