"A three-year-old version of my Dark Magician ripped it up, Joey." Everyone just stared at Yugi as if he were insane.
"You wanna run dat by me one more time, Yuge?" asked Joey.
"I said that a chibi version of my Dark Magician ripped up your science homework," said Yugi again. "He didn't mean to, though, Joey. Honest."
"Yugi, are you sure you know what you're talking about?" asked Tristan.
"Yes, Tristan, I'm sure!" said Yugi, growing impatient. "I wouldn't lie about something like this."
"Do you think you could show your Dark Magician to us, Yugi?" Téa asked. "I mean, we didn't really believe in Yami until we actually met him, so maybe we should to the same to him."
"Sure, Téa," said Yugi. "I knew I had to show him to you guys sooner or later. Come on."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yugi took the others back to his house. Joey had completely forgotten about his science homework by the time they reached it.
"Now guys, it kinda takes a while before Kurai fully trusts somebody," said Yugi once they reached the Game Shop door. "So don't mind if he seems a little scared at first."
"Kurai? Is that what you named him?" asked Bakura. Yugi nodded and they walked through the door.
"Grandpa! I'm home!" called Yugi. He and his friends walked past the shop and into the living room. Grandpa entered from the kitchen with Kurai in his arms.
"Hey, look who's home, Kurai!" said Grandpa, setting the chibi on the ground.
"Yugi!" cried Kurai happily, and ran over to Yugi. Yugi bent down and Kurai hugged him around his neck. Joey and the others couldn't help but stare at Kurai. The magician noticed this, and kept a tighter grip on Yugi.
"It's okay, Kurai, those are my friends," Yugi said, wrapping his arms around the child. "They're nice and won't hurt you, just like Grandpa." Kurai seemed to remember how nice Grandpa was, and his grip loosened slightly. Yugi let Kurai go and turned towards his friends.
"Kurai, this is Joey, Tristan, Téa, and Bakura," Yugi said, pointing to each one as he said their name. "Guys, this is Kurai."
"Hi, Kurai," his friends said in unison. Kurai gave a cute smile and giggled a bit.
"Hey, why don't we go up to my room?" suggested Yugi. "You could copy my science paper, Joey, if you want to." Joey remembered his science homework and agreed.
"Joey! Race you to Yugi's room!" challenged Tristan.
"Yer on!" said Joey. The two dashed for the stairs and ran to be the first to Yugi's bedroom. Yugi took Kurai's hand and walked up the stairs with Téa and Bakura behind him.
When they reached Yugi's bedroom, they found Tristan and Joey arguing about who got there first. Téa managed to break it up when she reminded Joey that he had to do his science homework. Yugi got out his paper with another piece of blank paper and handed it to Joey, who immediately began to copy it down. Yugi sat down on the bed while Tea and Tristan sat on the floor, and Bakura sat next to him on the bed. Kurai climbed into Yugi's lap and snuggled into him.
"Hey, Yugi," said Tristan. "How'd your Dark Magician come to life like that?"
"I don't know," answered Yugi truthfully. "It happened last night. I don't know how, but he just came out of his card and he was a chibi."
"Are you going to keep him here?" asked Téa.
"Of course," said Yugi, hugging Kurai close. "He means a lot to me." Kurai had fallen asleep in Yugi's lap.
"Done!" said Joey triumphantly as he finished his science paper.
"Shhhhh!" shushed everyone at Joey, who quickly clamped a hand over his mouth.
"Oh, sorry," he whispered. Kurai was still asleep, to their relief.

(Later that night)
Yugi took out his phone book and looked through it. His grandpa had asked him to come with him on a trip the next day, and he had said yes. Grandpa would need a lot of Yugi and Yami's help, and it would last for about the entire day. Yugi realized that Kurai wouldn't be able to manage the trip, so he decided that somebody should take care of him while he was away.
After finding the phone number he wanted, Yugi picked up the phone and dialed it.
"Hello?"
"Bakura? It's Yugi."
"Oh, hey Yugi! What's up?"
"Listen, Bakura, my grandpa wants me and Yami to go on this trip with him tomorrow. He'll need a lot of our help and it's gonna last for the whole day."
"Sounds busy."
"Yeah, I know. Anyway, I was just wondering if you could look after Kurai while I'm gone. That is, if you're up to it."
"Of course! I'll look after him!"
"Really? What about your father?"
"He's on another dig in Africa. I have the whole house to myself. Well, I'm not exactly by myself. I have my yami, too."
"Your yami...?"
"Yes, but don't worry, Yugi. I'll manage to keep him under control."
"Thanks, Bakura. I owe you one."
"Don't mention it, Yugi."
"Okay, how about you come pick Kurai up tomorrow morning around 8:30?"
"8:30? Alright."
"Okay. Thanks again Bakura!"
"You're welcome. See you tomorrow."
"See you."
Yugi hung up the phone and sighed. He hoped that Kurai wouldn't mind staying with Bakura for a whole day. And the thought of Yami Bakura being there made Yugi even more nervous. But then, Bakura did say that he would keep his yami under control.
Yugi went up to his room and found Kurai asleep on his bed. Smiling, he walked over and laid down next to him. Kurai turned over in his sleep and snuggled into Yugi's chest. Yugi wrapped his arms around the chibi and closed his eyes. He hoped Kurai would be alright the next day...

Shinimegami: You're welcome.
Bakura: I get to take care of Kurai in the next chapter?
Shinimegami: Yep.
Bakura: Yay! ^_____^
Yugi: Just be careful with him.
Bakura: Stop worrying, I will.
