Oops...I got distracted.
Malik: At least you had this chapter written out before you even thought of posting the first one.
I know.
Yugi: PhantomBrat has had so much going on and will have more things to do as the holiday season fast approaches.
Ryou: Please be patient with her.
Bobby raised the boys on his own as best he could while keeping Yugi safe from any other Hunter who happened by the salvage yard. After John pointed out that it didn't appear that Yugi was aging, Bobby had two options; the first was to lie and say that he had some sort of rare disease that stopped him from growing, or hide the boy and say that he'd fallen in the creek and drowned. He'd taken the second option in a panic when he couldn't explain to Sam that his favorite dog had died and was cremated. Without thinking, he'd said that Yugi was the one who'd passed and that cremation was easier since he couldn't bear the thought of such a happy child in the cold ground.
Sam and Dean were at a loss when they learned of the 'tragedy' and tried to spend time with Yami to help him grieve. Yami, of course, was constantly ditching the brothers and slipping into the basement when they weren't looking.
Dean was furious when he'd heard Bobby threaten their father after the man had shown up to take the boys on another Hunt. The brothers had shown up a few days prior with injuries. Granted Dean was injured, but Sam was pretty bad with a sprained ankle in a splint. Yugi and Yami were camped out in the panic room while they stayed there.
"You don't just show up in the middle of the night and expect me to just up and take you in! You at least give me a call with a head's up that you need a place to recover from whatever it was you got tangled up with. Let alone take those boys out while they are recovering."
"It was a Dryad," John stated.
"You took those boys after a nature spirit!? What were you thinking Winchester," Bobby snapped. "I outta take you out back for a little lesson, but rock-salt ain't gonna work to get the point through. After those boys are back on their feet, I don't want to see you on my property without invitation."
Yugi heard his papa yelling at his Uncle John from the stairs. He quietly scurried to his brother's side, "Yami, why would Papa want to shoot Uncle Johnny with rock-salt? Is he a monster?"
"No, Yugi. Uncle Johnny just pushed the wrong button with Pops. It's time to go back to sleep, Aibou."
Yugi yawned as he shook his head, "Not sweepy."
Yami chuckled as his brother snuggled into his chest. He knew that when Yugi began acting like a small child that he was either hurt, exhausted, or overwhelmed.
Yugi was so excited to finally be able to run free from the house for the first time in weeks. He begged Bobby for something to do and was beside himself with eagerness to be allowed to search the junk pile for certain car parts. He took the Polaroids and dashed through the junk yard to look for the parts in question. Bobby had Yami draw the designs of the emblems for the cars in question on the white strips for Yugi.
The boy found the first car and slid his backpack from his shoulders before setting to work removing the bolts to the tires. Bobby needed the bolts and a few other parts. Yugi loved looking because it meant that he could spray paint the car that held whatever he couldn't remove on his own. After removing the bolts, Yugi tossed them in the bag with the picture and marked the car with a '4' to indicate that there were four parts to remove.
After finishing work for the day, Bobby took the boys to a secluded part of the property and set them up with a few targets. He handed Yugi a small hatchet and a gun to Yami. Yugi looked at the small axe and then at Yami's weapon before pouting. "Why can't I have what Yami has," he whined.
Bobby knelt down to his level, "Son, I gave you the most dangerous weapon I have. I figured that you could learn how to throw that hatchet better than your bigger, slower brother."
Yugi looked at the small axe and beamed as he hugged the item to his chest. "Mine," he said as he looked at Yami, "Papa gave me the most dangerous weapon!"
Bobby winked at Yami. They had already talked about the speech that Bobby would give Yugi if he complained about the hatchet. Yami smiled at his brother, "Yup, looks like Pops likes you better."
Yugi gawped at Yami's statement. "Papa loves us both just the same, Yami!"
The next few weeks saw the pair training to use their given weapons. Yugi learned that he could not only throw the hatchet at moving targets, but decapitate monsters as well. Bobby was proud of how well Yugi cleaned the blade after every practice and checked the sharpness of its edge before putting it away for the night.
I apologize for the short chapter, but I promise that more is on the way!
Mokuba: Until next time!
