A/N: I don't know what I'm writing so bear with me

Yami eyed Seto warily, unsure of what to expect from him. The brunette's form was rigid, his mouth pulled into a tight, thin line. His blue eyes watched the blonde intently and if looks could kill, their "son" would've been long dead.

"Seto…?"

"Yes Yami?"

"Don't do anything you'd regret later."

"Like what?"

"Killing Jou."

"Now, why would I do something like that?" Sarcasm laced each word.

Shaking his head, Yami turned to Jou. "What do you have to say for yourself, young man?"

"Um…I'm sorry?" Came the weak reply.

"Sorry…? You're SORRY!" Seto yelled. "You're gonna be more than sorry when I'm through with you, MUTT!"

"Seto. Calm down."

"Calm down? How the hell do you expect me to calm down? This mutt of a son of ours just sneaked out of the house after he was grounded, came over here and basically destroyed Bakura's house! And he was caught groping Yugi!"

"I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for all of this, Seto."

"Ha! Reasonable. This I've got to hear."

"Well, Jou? Tell your father why you did that." Yami gave Jou a look that clearly indicated for him not to do or say anything stupid.

"Um…well, I was feeling lonely and I wanted to go out. Since I didn't wanna interrupt you and daddy, I went out by myself. I came over to Yugi's cause I wanted to go on a play date with him. And we were playing when we destroyed Bakura's house. We didn't mean to. Honest. And the part where Bakura caught me groping Yugi was the date part of the play date. I like Yugi a lot and he likes me too!" Jou nodded. "We meant no harm."

Bakura arched an eyebrow at Jou's explanation then turned to Yugi. "Is what he's saying true, son?"

Yugi nodded vigorously in affirmation to the question.

"I see." Bakura looked at Seto and Yami. "So how do you two intend to pay for your son's damages?"

"I'm not paying for anything! He's going to pay for it himself."

"But, but…"

"Seto, he's just a kid, he doesn't have money to pay for it."

"Well, he should've thought of that before he decided to wreck someone's home, now shouldn't he?"

Yami ignored him and turned to Bakura. "Seto will pay for it."

"What! I'm not p-" A look from Yami silenced his protest, though didn't stop him from fuming.

Bakura smirked. "Seems like your wife's got you whipped, Kaiba."

"Why you…"

"Let's go." Before there could be a fight, Yami dragged both Jou and Seto to the door. "Send Seto the bill, Bakura. He'll take care of it."

Without another word, the short tri-colored male dragged his taller lover and their "son" out to the awaiting limo.

"Well that went well."

Bakura snorted. "Yeah, unfortunately my house isn't in that great of a shape. Stupid mutt was lucky I didn't neuter him."

Malik looked amused. "Well, you can't neuter your son's boyfriend now can you?"

"Wait…what! He's not-" Yugi started to protest.

An evil look gleamed in Bakura's eyes as he sat down next to his ruffled child. "So, Yugi, son, when were you going to tell us about the two of you."

"But Bakura…"

"Daddy." Malik interjected.

"But Daddy, Jou and I aren't together."

"Really now? That's not what it looked like. It looked more like you two were ready to have a bout of really hot sex. Right, Sugar Dumplin?"

Malik nodded.

"See, Yugi, your mother agrees with me."

"But dad, we weren't…"

"Now now, Yugi, you can tell your mom and dad. Is he any good?"

"DADDY!"

"How many times have you two done the deed?"

Yugi looked at his "parents" helplessly, clutching at his teddy bear.

"But…"

"Bakura. Let him go."

"But Pookie, this is way too much fun. Who'd thought our baby would have a lover…"

"Mommy, can I go to my room?" Yugi looked at Malik with big teary eyes.

The Egyptian, like most people, couldn't resist Yugi's eyes. "Fine, go and think about what you've done."

"Thank you, Mommy!" Yugi jumped off the couched, gave Malik a hug and a peck on the cheeks before running up the stairs.

Malik sighed and turned to go into the kitchen. However he was stopped by a pair of arms around his waist.

"Bakura, let me go. I'm going to make dinner."

He was ignored as Bakura turned him around and kissed him hard.

Malik eyes widened a second before he pushed Bakura off him. "No."

"Malik, not this again."

"I said no, Bakura. Get it through your head." He didn't want to be another meaningless fuck to Bakura. The one time was a mistake.

"What if I don't want to?"

"That's just too damn bad for you. I've lost my appetite now. I'm going upstairs to the guestroom and going to sleep. Good night. And don't you dare come after me."

"Malik."

"No, Bakura." Malik left Bakura standing in the living, staring after him.

"What the hell just happened?"

There was a nervous tension in the air on the limo ride back to the Kaiba mansion. Seto glared angrily out the window, ignoring both Yami and Jou. Jou sat blessedly silent, staring at the limo's carpeting. Yami looked between the two and sighed. It was stupid thing to do, making Seto pay for it, but Jou was their "son" right? So it was only natural. He felt bad for making Seto seemed whipped, but if no one paid for the damages, there would be another argument and he simply wasn't in the mood for one.

"Mr. Kaiba, we're here." The chauffer said, opening the door.

Seto got out and stalked to the front door. Yami and Jou followed silently.

Pulling the front door open, Seto waved the two in, a gleam in his eyes.

"Seto…?" Yami asked, eyeing Seto apprehensively when the door was shut behind them.

"Yes, love?"

"Um…are you angry?"

"Angry? No, of course not. However, I do have a little punishment for our 'son' here."

"Seto…don't hurt him."

"Oh, I won't be hurting him." Seto shot Jou a look, "Follow me, mutt."

Jou was about to protest, but Yami gave him a look and he followed silently.

The three walked and stopped in front of what appeared to be the movie room. Yami blinked. What in the world was Seto planning?

"You like play dates, don't you, son?" Seto asked.

"Um…yes…" The gleam in Seto's eyes made Jou nervous.

"Good." Seto walked into the room and indicated for Jou to take a seat.

"Don't move."

Searching through the huge inventory of videos, Seto finally stopped at one. The evil smile on Seto's face clearly indicated that this wasn't just an entertainment video for Jou.

"Um…dad? Can I go to my room?"

"You want to go to your room? No. The last time I sent you to your room, you left. So you're gonna watch a little movie."

"What movie, Seto?"

Ignoring Yami, Seto popped the movie into the VCR and pressed play.

"Seto…that's in English."

"I know, but don't worry, it has Japanese subtitles." Turning to Jou, Seto gave him a glare. "There are video cameras in this room, mutt, if you move out of your seat before this video is over, I will have you neutered."

Jou nodded mutely as he stared at the giant screen.

"Good. Let's go, Yami." Seto led Yami out and closed the door, locking it.

"Seto? What movie was that?"

A smirk played on Seto's face. "The Miracle of Life."

Yami's eyes widened. "You didn't!"

"I did."

"But Seto…"

"No. If wants to go on 'play dates' against our orders, he's going to have to see the consequences of it."

A loud scream from the room made Yami wince. "But Seto…"

"And I'm not done with you either."

"Seto?"

"You're going to take Mokuba to the amusement park."

Yami blinked. That was it? "When?"

"Today."

"Why…?"

"Because." The tone in Seto's voice left no room for argument.

"Alright."

Yami collapsed on the bench, exhausted from chasing after the ball of energy named Mokuba. He had been right; it was way too easy when Seto said that he had to take Mokuba to the amusement park. He did end up taking Mokuba, but only after Seto fed Mokuba a bag of sugar. And everyone knew that Mokuba Kaiba on sugar was bad. It was really bad. Yami had been left alone to deal with the younger Kaiba. Within the first half hour, he had been ready to jump off the tallest ride just to get away from Mokuba, but alas, he could not do that. It had been three hours and Mokuba was still bouncing.

"Yami!"

Oh dear Ra, couldn't he get any peace? "Yes, Mokuba?"

"I wanna go on that roller coaster! And you're coming with me!"

"Mokuba…I don't…"

Big watery eyes looked at him. Yami sighed. "Alright."

"Yay!" The boy dragged Yami to the ride.

Yami looked at it, paling at the various loops and curves. "Mokuba…"

"You promised!" Mokuba pouted.

"Alright alright." Yami followed as Mokuba flashed his VIP pass and was allowed onto the ride.

"Um…Mokuba?"

"Yes, Yami?"

"Is this ride safe?"

"Of course,"

"That's good."

"But people have gotten stuck on the highest loops before."

Crimson eyes went wide, but before he could get off, the ride started. As the ride went up, Yami sighed in relief. Maybe this wouldn't be too bad.

However he wasn't prepared for the sharp drop. His eyes clenched and he prayed that if he got out of this alive, he would never ever, directly or indirectly, embarrass Seto Kaiba in front of others again.

The consequences were really scary.
