Jaazi: (wipes away tear) Your reviews make me so happy! I appreciate them so much! (glomps reviewers) Thank you!

DJ: (rolls eyes) This pathetically sentimental comment goes to the following: Dehctiweb, Vixenia, Atemu's Lover, DreamCherry66, Thief-Joelle, HappyDevil, Green Phantom Queen, Firezone12, Dartz'LoyalServant, Chibikuro Rose-sama, Burgers and Fries, AnGeLoFmErCeY94, Sadistic Pistol, Shinigami, LunaBakura-chan.

Damian: Now for the review replies…

Dehctiweb: Yes, Bakura will eventually change back, but for now, enjoy chibi Bakura. (glomps chibi Bakura) He's so cute!

Dartz'LoyalServant: DJ: (snatches katana) Bwahahahahaha! MINE! What should I do with it? (evil smirk) KK has a few plushies…

Damian: (monotone) Just what DJ needs. More weapons. She has a whole roomful of weapons already, and those are just from reviewers…

LunaBakura-chan: Ewwww. Of course I'm going to change Bakura back before that stuff happens! That'd be very…weird.

Disclaimer: If I owned Yugioh, there would be more shonen-ai moments, and the whole show would revolve around Ryou and Bakura.

Bakura beamed happily. They went upstairs and went to bed. Bakura curled in Ryou's arms, both fell asleep with smiles on their faces.

Chapter Four: The Bigger Me

Ryou and chibi Bakura were still in bed, sleeping. Ryou, who was very tired out because of taking care of a four-year-old and trying to keep Yami's suspicions at bay, was sleeping like the dead. Chibi Bakura was also sleeping, although in a less restful way…

Chibi Bakura opened his eyes and was met with a strange sight. He couldn't see anything in the landscape very well, because everything was enshrouded in a gray-white mist. There were darker shades of gray here and there, but there was not enough light to see what it was.

Chibi Bakura's eyes scanned the seemingly endless plain. Faintly, he heard…footsteps? Chibi Bakura whirled around. He saw a shadowy figure walking toward him. Panicked, chibi Bakura scrambled backwards, only to bump into a…park bench? He was sure that wasn't there before.

"Calm down, brat. I'm not going to hurt you." the figure said, a hint of annoyance in it's voice.

"Wh-who are you? Where's Ryou?" chibi Bakura asked nervously.

The figure sat on the bench and pulled chibi Bakura onto the bench also. Since the figure was so close to him now, chibi Bakura could now clearly see what the figure looked like.

The figure was a man. He had pale skin which was made to look paler because of the black cloak he wore. The cloak was…odd, not cloth like chibi Bakura's red cloak was. The man's eyes were narrow and sharp. And his hair…

"Hey, mister! Why do you have bunny ears?" chibi Bakura was so fascinated with the man's hair, he completely forgot his initial fear. The man glared at him.

"They're not bunny ears!" He cried out indignantly, clutching his hair, "If anything, they're bat wings or demon horns!"

"Oh…hey mister, did you know your eyes are red? They're like mine!" chibi Bakura said excitedly.

"I know, you brat!" the man snapped.

"What's your name, mister? Why is your hair white and your eyes red, like me?" chibi Bakura asked curiously, climbing on the man's lap to get a better look at him.

"Ra, was I really this…stupid? I'm you and you're me." the man replied sharply. Chibi Bakura giggled.

"You're silly! You can't be me, I'm me! 'esides, you're too big to be me," chibi Bakura said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"I am Bakura. I'm you when you get…older," Bakura explained as calmly as he could. Chibi Bakura's eyes went wide with wonderment.

"Really? But…" chibi Bakura glared at him as best as he could (which only made him look cuter) and said, "You're lying!"

"No, I'm not!"

"Yes, you are!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Gah! I'm arguing with myself…literally! If you weren't me, I'd be strangling you right now!" Bakura growled. Chibi Bakura pouted.

"You're mean. I'm telling Ryou!"

"Ryou! Is he okay? I miss Ryou so much. You haven't been giving him any trouble, have you? Because if you did, I don't care if you are me, I'm going to…" He stopped when he heard chibi Bakura whimper. Chibi Bakura's eyes filled with tears and his bottom lip was trembling. Bakura looked at his mini-me's puppy dog eyes.

"Damn! Don't look at me like that! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just stop it already!"

Chibi Bakura immediately stopped when Bakura apologized. He smiled and hugged Bakura. Then he looked up at him curiously.

"You're a bigger me? Then why are we here? Where is here?"

"…I think we're in your head."

"But…you're too big to fit in my head. I'm too big to fit in my head!"

"Just go along with it. The thing is, something happened so now instead of me being with Ryou, you're with Ryou. And neither of us seem to remember why and you don't seem to remember me. So now I'm stuck in your head and I don't know how to come back. How's Ryou doing?"

"Ryou's nice. He's pretty! His hair is shiny…like the moon. Pretty green eyes like emer-alls!" Chibi Bakura described Ryou excitedly. He then leant towards Bakura and whispered into his ear, "He looks like a girl, but he says he isn't."

"He's girly, but he's mine, so it's okay," Bakura replied. Chibi Bakura pouted.

"Nuh-uh. He's my friend. 'esides, he likes me more!"

"No he doesn't!"

"Yes he does!"

"Does not!"

"Does too!"

"Does not!"

"Does too!"

"Does not!"

"Does too!"

"Does not!"

"Bigger me? What're we arguing about?"

Bakura nearly strangled his mini-me. How could he be so annoying? Maybe what he said was true. Maybe Ryou did prefer to be with his younger self than him. But that didn't make sense, because they were basically the same person. Well, not really. His younger self isn't sadistic, blood thirsty, or insane. They might be the same person but their personalities were polar opposites.

Bakura slumped into the park bench and clutched his hands together, so as to prevent himself from causing any physical harm to his mini-me. It wouldn't do to strangle younger self. Ryou wouldn't like that, and who knows what effects it would have on himself.

Bakura was confused. He had come home from another night of drinking and passed out in bed. The next thing he remembered he was in this incredibly foggy and gray place. He had wandered around it aimlessly as he listened to a child's voice talk to Ryou. He had also been listening to the child's thoughts. Summing this all up, he'd figured that the child must've been his younger past self and that he was in his mind.

How the hell this happened was beyond him. He didn't remember having doing or drinking anything for this to have happened. Granted, his memory was as foggy as his current surroundings, but that was besides the point. In fact, the only clue he had was sparkly blue and pink. And hell if he knew what that meant!

Chibi Bakura watched as his older self pondered over stuff. His bigger self was not happy. He could tell. He could also tell that Bigger Me wanted to see Ryou again. He wanted to see Ryou again, too, but he wanted to help Bigger Me first. But…he didn't know how.

Ryou woke up. Rubbing his eyes, he got out of bed only to realize that chibi Bakura hadn't been some whacked up dream after all. He studied chibi Bakura's features fondly. Chibi Bakura really was adorable and sweet. Ryou always wished he could have a child around the house. Children always made homes brighter, more lively. In his opinion anyway.

Ryou sat down next to the bed and chibi Bakura. What could've turned his yami into a chibi-fied version of himself? Obviously it had to have been some sort of magic. Could Shadow magic do that? He wasn't sure, but he knew someone who might.

Ryou gently shook chibi Bakura awake. Chibi Bakura opened his eye drowsily. He yawned a cute chibi yawn that made Ryou want to go "awwww!". Thankfully, Ryou had enough self control to not do that.

"Hey, Bakura. Slept well?"

"Mm, kinda. Can I sleep now, please?" Ryou laughed.

"Sorry, Kura, but I want to go visit a few friends. I want you to come meet them too." Chibi Bakura's eyes widened.

"Are we going to play? Are your friends fun?"

"Yeah, we'll play. They're fun…in a weird sort of way."

"Yay! Let's go!"

They had a quick meal and left. Chibi Bakura was bouncing alongside with Ryou, chattering away happily. Ryou on the other hand, was wondering whether he was making the right choice in taking chibi Bakura to go visit the Ishtar residence.
