So here's the deal...I've no Internet at home at the moment so updates will be limited for a while. Don't worry though as I'm working on more chapters to post when I have the chance. So, I beg of my dear readers to be patient until things are either worked out or when I can post once more.


Yugi woke up and lay in the bed as he waited for Atem to wake up. The boy lay on his back and traced the wallpaper with his tiny fingertips. When he felt Atem sit up, Yugi looked at him and yawned. "Good morning, Yugi," Atem greeted him.

Clear and bright amethyst eyes looked up at him, "'Ami, hungry."

Atem smiled at Yugi's announcement, "Let's just get this disconnected and check you over before we find you some food."

Yugi nodded and waited until Atem finished removing the IVs and wrapping his arms where they were. Ishizu came in and looked Yugi over. "He's good to go," she stated with a smile. "Just take it easy and listen to your brother and dad."

"Daddy's here," Yugi asked his eyes wide with excitement.

Atem nodded, "We'll see him downstairs."


Bobby had an excited Yugi in his lap and watched as the toddler ate his diced up turkey dogs, soft broccoli and cauliflower without the stems, and cottage cheese. He couldn't believe that Yugi had wolfed down the vegetables first and asked for more. Dean shook his head as he watched Yugi eat more broccoli and cauliflower, "that ain't natural. No kid should like that stuff."

Yugi looked up and grinned, "Bus'l spouts!"

Dean was stunned when Malik obliged the toddler and came out with a small bowl of quartered and buttered Brussels sprouts. He immediately left the table when Yugi happily chomped down on one of the small pieces. Atem shook his head as Bobby roared with laughter at Yugi's antics. Atemu entered the dining hall, "I believe we now know how to reverse Mahaad's spell."

"How," Atem questioned.

"Well, Malik, according to Ishizu, was once in serious trouble for cursing as a child. He was punished for it the one time and he never did it again. Malik also informed me that Ryou had an aversion to mud puddles from the time his adoptive father caught him playing in one in his best clothes and grounded him from playing with Malik and Yugi for a week."

"So what, we find out what seriously bad thing Yugi did that got him punished as a child," Atem pressed. "I highly doubt that he did anything to make our grandfather angry at him."


Solomon had barely entered the mansion when he was greeted by a preteen boy with shaggy black hair. "Hi, I'm Mokuba. I was told that I was supposed to take you to the library."

Solomon nodded and allowed the boy to lead him to the large library. He spotted a small pile of blanket next to an older man who occupied the loveseat. "Grandpa," Atem greeted the elder, "I don't know if you've met my dad."

Solomon was shocked to see the male Atem indicated, "So, you're Bobby. I've heard about you, but how did a man who didn't know a thing about the Supernatural wind up raising my grandson to Hunt and then accepting Yugi easily?"

Bobby shrugged, "This boy showed me that not everything is evil. I love this kid and if Atem can stick up for the kid, I figure I'd do the same. The kiddo even managed to melt tough old John Winchester's heart of steel too."

Solomon laughed at Bobby's statement. "Welcome to the family," he said as he sat in the recliner that Atem had purchased for him.

"Grandpa," Atem started, "I called you to find out what the worst thing Yugi ever did as a child was. Something that was so bad that you had to punish him that stopped him from ever repeating the action."

Solomon thought for a moment, "Well, I've never had to worry about the 'terrible two or threes. Your brother always ate his vegetables…" Solomon started laughing.

"What," Atem asked.

"Yugi once got into the chocolate syrup and finger-painted the front of the fridge and part of the floor with it," Solomon chuckled at the memory. "Before I could get after him about it, the kid had pulled the towel off the oven door and started cleaning it up. Yugi said he was sorry and never did it again."

Atem looked at the blanket nest in shock, "So you mean to tell me that Yugi was the ideal perfect little boy?"

"Unless he had some form of anesthesia, then he was a little terror. Thankfully, that was the one time," was the reply.

"Is that why Yugi had a scar on his right side," Atem inquired.

Solomon nodded, "Yeah. He woke me up screaming in pain and refused to let me touch his stomach. I had no option but to call for an ambulance. He barely made it into surgery."

Just as Solomon finished speaking, Yugi decided to wake up from his nap. He started out rubbing the sleep from his eyes, but seconds later his eyes went wide. "'Ami, gotta go potty."

Atem quickly carried Yugi to the closest unoccupied bathroom and helped him.


Atem left Yugi with Malik, the Hogwarts students, and Bobby while he left with half of the team to go grocery shopping and drop Solomon off. Serenity and Hermione were on the floor with Yugi, rolling a ball back and forth.

"I bored," Yugi announced as he rolled the ball back to Serenity. "Wanna watch TV."

Hermione spoke up as the ball was rolled to her, "What do you want to watch? There's a few shows on that…"

"Egypt," Yugi stated as he tried to get up. "Wanna watch mummy and pay roles."

"Aren't those a bit grown up for you," Serenity asked.

Yugi shook his head as he used a table to pull himself up, "Gampa wets me watch if I's a good boy. Peas?"

The girls gave into the boy's pleas to watch his preferred shows.

Ron walked in as the show returned from commercial and saw how engrossed into the program Yugi was. "Oh no, Hermione! You are not turning this kid into a mini-you!"

Amethyst eyes narrowed as Yugi turned to Ron. "Shhhh! I wanna watch mummies. Sit or go."

Ron backed out of the room and left the two girls and the toddler to their show.
