Chapter 5: plushies, toys, clothes, babies and Bakura

The threesome arrive at a shopping mall—now, lets fast forward to where we locate them IN the shopping mall, shall we?

"Wahhh . . ." Ryou exclaimed with his chibi mouth wide. Seems that the mall there're in is almost huge and consider quite crowded, many Christmas bells and decoration full of Christmas spirits. Bakura was also amused with it but what more to amuse? It's just a mall! With the background song along played in the mall 'Jingle bells rock' sung by Joe Battaglia and the New York bands, yes; it was a splendid song with very nice event in the mall lately. Christmas is coming soon and everybody is crowded with shopping bags and a lot of other interesting stuff. "So? Wanna start?" Malik ask excitingly, still carrying Ryou in a baby way. "Candy! Candy! Candy, Kuwa!! Candy!!" Ryou cheered at Bakura, Bakura with a little raising eyebrow looked at the chibi, who seems very excited indeed. "You want candy, Ryou?" Malik asked. The chibi then turn to Malik with a smile, "Yesh! Yesh! Me want candy, Ma-ik!! Bakuwa!!" Ryou continued his chibi cry of joy for candy. Bakura can't help but smile helplessly. You can also imagine that the mall is also considered like Santa's workshop before he delivers presents to little kiddies.

"Alright, we'll go get candy for chibi Ryou." Bakura says, smirking. Ryou jumps in Malik's arms and clap his hand together happily. Malik can't help but smile to the chibi and Bakura. It seems that Ryou is also not only turning his size into chibi but he himself is like one too. So they went to a large candy store that seem pretty popular, the fact that made Bakura and Malik surprise is—is crowded with little kiddies and it's a whole bunch of candies in the store. Ryou was clapping his hands in such joy that they arrive at the best candy store ever had in this mall. Malik looked at Bakura with a nervous smile, "Seems that Ryou likes candy, eh Bakura?" Bakura just sighs and rolls his eyes, "Yeap . . ."

Malik smile at chibi Ryou and Ryou is still perfectly happy about the candy store. "Bakuwa! Ma-ik! Look! Lwookie!" Ryou jumped in Malik's arms and pointed to a candy that looks the shape of a sugarplum princess. "Pwetty! Pwetty!!" Ryou cheered. Bakuwa looks blankly at the candy shape sugarplum princess and notice Ryou wants it. Bakura walk to the candy and hold it, looking for the prize, he surprised. It cause about 99.50 yen for each sugarplum princess candy, they afford to buy it but a candy that cause so much? Malik look over at Bakura and surprise at the prize too, "Bakura, we can afford it but why so much? I rather spend that amount to buy clothes worth that prize!" Malik said. Bakura look around the candy and still surprise at it, "I know, but I also have a feeling they put it at this prize is because is homemade." Malik raises his eyebrow enthusiastically, "Oh? But how do you have a clue about that?" Bakura looked around the candy again, "I just know . . ." "Excuse me?"

They look over and see a blushing woman who seems to be one of the workers of the candy store, the woman smiled and blush a little but the threesome didn't know about it. "Um . . . sir, you may like to buy it?" the girl said blushingly. Bakura just raises his eyebrow curiously, Malik and Ryou were giggling. And then Malik lean up to Bakura and whispered in his ears, "I think the girl liked you." Malik whispered, Ryou nodded. Bakura rolls eyes, 'even if is yes, I'm not interested.' "Anyway, yes miss—" "Oh! Just call me Saira, sir!" the girl cut him off excitedly, Bakura cleared his throat and wanted to continue his talk but what he can see around the girl is, a lot of girls who are fellow workers in the shop was around her to check or drool on Bakura. Malik surprise, "Wow, Ryou, talk about some fans who liked Bakura." Ryou was giving his baby smiles, "Bwecause Bakuwa ish hwandsome!" Ryou said, Malik grin at his comment. Bakura finish amusing at the amount of the workers in the store gathering around Saira to be with her just to get to Bakura, they all were blushing at smiling and all giggling at him shyly. Bakura cleared his throat and turn pretty serious, "Miss Saira and—your friends, yes, I would like to buy this candy for my brother here," Bakura said, referring to Ryou; the girls turn to Ryou and looked at him adorably. "I might want to say if you can—" "Oh yes! We'll give you this for free!" Saira and her friends said along. Lucky they were the only customer that got surrounded by the whole bunch of workers in the candy store they're in. "O-kay . . . so I'll take this candy for my little brother and just leave, now please excuse me." Bakura said coldly, and walk away with Malik and Ryou along behind him. The girls were almost drooling and fainted because of Bakura's macho-ness. Ryou giggled and so does Malik but they both kept quiet.

"They like Bakuwa! Bakuwa cwool!" Ryou praises Bakura, Bakura look at him and turn away with a little blush. Malik giggled at the scene. They've walked and a minute later, you can see about 5 bags in Bakura's arms. It's not that tiring but it is exhausting. Bakura doesn't seem tired that's all, but Ryou can see sweats coming down his face. The chibi slowly tug on Bakura's sleeve and Bakura paid attention to him and turn to him, "Yes, Ryou?" "Bakuwa sweatie, I want to wipe Bakuwa's sweatie!" Bakura raises eyebrow, "No need to Ryou, I—" "Come on, Bakura! Ryou here is being very sincere!" Malik interrupted. Bakura then gave up and lean down to let Ryou wipe his sweat with his small handkerchief. Ryou giggled as Bakura lean down and the chibi continues wiping his face full of sweats. "Dwone! Oo all cwean!" Ryou said, smiling cheerfully. Bakura blush and just say nothing else.

"Hey Ryou, look!" Malik said, pointed to a toyshop full of plushies and teddies. It looks splendidly a nice a shop to be in. Bakura rolls his eyes but when he set his gaze at the chibi, he felt something weird around him. "Ma-ik!! Twat ook so kawaii!!" Ryou said aloud with an exciting glint. Malik then run in the shop with Ryou in his arms and look at the plushie, the plushie is a type of plushie that looks a little much like Change of Heart, but it looks like its wearing a type that wears a Christmas suit. To make it short, it's just too cute. "It's Change of Heart! And its in a Christmas suit, Ryou!" Malik said excitingly, encouraging Ryou about it. Ryou then looked at it very sadly, for the prize is not very affordable; they kinda waste a lot of money in buying so much stuff in their hand already.

"What's wrong, Ryou?" Malik ask worriedly, Ryou then points to the prize while turning to Malik. Malik look closer to the prize and sadly turn to Ryou. "It's okay, Ryou. I'm sure you'll get it someday." Ryou nodded, and sadly duck his head. Malik walk out of the shop and Bakura step in after them, he looked 1 minute at Malik and Ryou and then turn his gaze to the plushie. He looks at it and thought that Ryou would like it. Secretly, well—he can't shoplift of course for it has a lot of cameras and yeah, its not nice to steal also. "Bakura, are you coming?" Malik called out, Bakura turn and smirk, "You go first! I'll be with you later!" "Okay, but we'll be at the shop next to this one." Bakura nodded and Malik with the chibi went off. Bakura took the plushie secretly and went to the counter, he paid for it! Even though it caused 144.90 yen, he paid for it and it was wrap in a nice Christmas wrapper, and looked like a present. Bakura thanks the counter and hide the present in his trench coat and smirk to himself.

After a lot of shopping in the mall, they drive home; Malik went off with his motorcycle. Thanking Bakura and Ryou for a fun time, he drove off with his motorcycle. Ryou was sat down on the couch and played with a puzzle but sadly thought of something else. Bakura notice and jumps in slowly in the couch, looking at Ryou curiously. "What's wrong, hikari?" Ryou look up at him with one of his sad chibi eyes and turn away, "I wanted tee Cwange of Hweart pwushie bwut iwt twoo expwensive." Ryou said sadly, Bakura was sympathizing for him but smirk later on. "Well Ryou, I have a present for you." Bakura said, Ryou look at Bakura with a blink as Bakura got up the couch and went to his room upstairs. A minute later, Bakura went down with a wrapping present. He sat down on the couch with a happy relieved sigh and looked at Ryou with a sudden smirk. "Here." he handed the chibi a present. Ryou looked at it with mixture of surprise and excitement. He opens it with 2 chibi hands and gasp as he can see—the Change of Heart plushie he wants! "Bwut Bakuwa, why—" "Because I knew you like it so I bought it and end of story." Bakura said with a snicker. Ryou smile at him affectionately and climb on Bakura's lap with the plushie in his hug. " Twank-you Bakuwa . . ." Bakura smiled and ruffle the chibi's head as the chibi felt fast asleep. He carries the chibi with him upstairs and they slept peacefully in Bakura's room. With Ryou hugging the Change of Heart plushie in his arms . . .
