Giving Sasuke a bath..
A/n: I am sorry for not having updated in so long. Please forgive me! This is chapter four and I am currently working on chapter 5… Please forgive me.. soon I will completely repost this entire fiction! Yey.
Bakura yawned it seemed to him like he had merely slept for only 4 hours, but the sudden eruption of shrill small whimpers had alerted him awake. He rubbed the remaining tiredness from his eyes, and approached the crib slowly.
There Sasuke lay, whimpering, fists tightened in a fury of punches and crunches. Bakura reached down, lifting the fragile child in his arms. He was so light, so small and he remembered the events from the night before. 'Today' he thought 'I will stand to the side, this little runt won't get me again… keh.'
He placed the child who had stopped whimpering at Bakura's touch on the counter, gently putting his face close and smelling to check if the boy had went. To his relief he hadn't so, quickly he made a bottle and placed the nipple in the boys mouth.
He never saw something drink so fast, he was pulling the thing from him like the boy had turned to a feverish monster, ravished for blood. In a way, the child reminded him of himself at a young age.
He once again picked Sasuke up, heading for the couch he sat upon it, resting the boy on his lap and bouncing him slightly. It wasn't until the boy puked all over him that he realized his mistake.
Bakura gritted his teeth, his eyes closed an annoyed expression clear to all. Silently he cursed Ryou for leaving him alone here. But after the thought he quickly took it back, never wanting to curse his beloved Ryou. He held the soggy, dirty child a foot from him and started to fill the tub.
"Gods… who in the grand universe could have thought babies were so much trouble!" Sasuke merely gurgled cutely and smiled happily at the constant sight of his beloved father. Bakura softened a bit and stopped the flow of water.
Now Bakura never really gave anybody a bath, and as always explained this was his first child. He gently placed the baby into the bath tub. The water stopping at Sasuke's neck. He was pretty sure this was how it was done. Slowly he removed a hand and grabbed the lathering clothe, placing soup and started scrubbing the childs neck that was currently exposed.
Sasuke's face turn into a deadly shade of red, a fit soon to be thrown and squealed for his favorite toy. Bakura sighed, moving him back and leaving him to rest on the tub wall. As he headed out, the bell of his door rang and he sprang into action throwing the door open.
"Hey Bakura, it's me Yuugi… I just wanted to check up after yesterdays call." He smiled to Bakura, talking cheerfully.
"Oh well… I was taking care of … my baby…" Bakura flushed a bit out of embarrassment.
"You have a kid! Oh wow can I see it?" Yuugi seemed generally happy, practically bouncing in joy.
"Sure, he is in the tube were I rested him" Yuugi paled a little at Bakura's words.
"Y-you left him alone in the tub? You moron he could drown!" The little hikari dashed past Bakura, knocking him back some as he peeled the corner to the bath room. Bakura scowled and followed only to hear Yuugi cursing and suddenly shouting for him.
He was confused but he ran, finding Yuugi standing there holding Sasuke gently in his arms. Only the baby was silent, almost taking a nap and Bakura's heart nearly stopped in shock.
Yuugi cooed to it, laying it on the floor and glaring to Bakura. "I am going to do CPR. So back off, if he dies its your fault Bakura!"
Bakura paled again and felt the rise of panic swell just below his breath. Slowly under his breath he heard himself pray over and over again that Sasuke would be alright.
Yuugi sat there, for nearly 1 minute breathing in and gently compressing the boy's chest. Soon the babe coughed and started wailing, pained and sad. Bakura's eyes lightened up and he thrusted Yuugi back and lifted Sasuke into his arms, gently humming and cradling the babe as if he was the mother itself.
Yuugi was shocked to say the least, a look of pure confusion on this side of Bakura. But at the same time, he was smiling wondering if Bakura would really be a good parent after just a few lessons.
"Thank you Yuugi, I couldn't have done it with out you…" Yuugi merely sighed and looked to him, a look of serious intent on his features.
"Just Bakura, don't do that again… I am going to come back here in a few minutes and I am going to have me, Jonouchi and Honda teach you how to raise the baby a little better, what is his name anyways?"
"Sasuke" Bakura smiled again snuggling Sasuke to him, the baby chimed and then coughed again shivering slightly until Bakura wrapped him in a warm soft fluffy blanket.
Yuugi smiled, and gathered his things. Slowly leaving a half smile and also a curious one to wonder who Bakura had it with.
