Raven giggled and told Ryou for the third time that she loved Dr Pepper while her sister kept darting her tear filled eyes to the tube maze and whimpered the word, "Batura" around the straw in her mouth. Ryou patted the little girl's hand that wasn't busy opening one of the handfuls of straws in front of her.

"Don't be upset, I called for some help." he told her. "Bakura will be out soon and then we can leave and see Marik."

"And shiny Rod that send people to Sadow Realm." Raven added. "I don'like Sadow Realm."

"Me and you both." Ryou replied ruffling her hair just as his help arrived. He smiled and greeted the two. One was slightly shorter than the other, less hard edge but both shared identical spiky tri-colored hair and violet eyes. One was still in his school uniform as Ryou was while the other wore some vinyl/leather monstrosity that posed as pants and a top full of buckles.

"Yugi, Yami meet Raven and April." Ryou introduced. April glanced at the two boys that would never reach beyond 5'4 and whimpered, "Batura." Raven hopped up and glomped Yami.

"I like your shiny! It like Mawik's and Kura's. Wanna see it." the little girl exclaimed.

Yami looked at Ryou and Yugi nervously obviously trying to decide whether to pry the girl off and run or to stay put. Then wondering just how he could pry Raven off.

"Fair O help Batura." April said and both yami and two hikari eyes nearly bugged out of their skulls. "Wanna see shiny too." the little girl added as her sister began tugging on the Millennium Puzzle.

Ryou cleared his throat, "Yami why don't you keep the girls occupied---" he didn't get to finish.

"No! Yugi and I can deal with Bakura." he exclaimed prying Raven off him with a desperate yank. Then shoved her into Ryou's arms, "You take care of these two."

The pharaoh then quickly grabbed his hikari's arm and sped off into the tubes in a cloud of dust. April and Raven looked at each other and giggled.

Meanwhile...

"I hate you, you hate me. Let's hang Barney from a tree!" Bakura sang under his breath. Remind me when I see Malik to kill him in many creative and painful ways, he told Ryou through the link as he heard scuffling in front and behind him.

"Just great." he muttered. "The kiddies are back. This day can't get any worse."

A second later, he was eating those words. He saw the unmistakable pharaoh in front of him and heard his hikari behind him.

"Well isn't this a sight?" Yami said with a smirk. "My worst enemy, trapped in a kid's play area and can't get out without my help."

"I understand that you were roughed up by one of the little girls outside." he continued enjoying the moment. "Which one was it? The clingy blond or the little one with curls."

"Raven the clingy blond, as you so put it." Bakura growled feeling Yugi tugging on his ankles. "Are you going to help Yugi with getting me out of here or are you going to gloat?"
Yami scowled but brightened considerably as he devised an ingenious method of helping his hikari. He lifted his foot and placed it firmly on Bakura's forehead. Again. And again.

"Quit kicking me!" the tomb robber screamed as both Yami and Yugi tried again to unstick him via his own method.

"Shut up, you're lucky Yugi and I are here." Yami snapped before planting his foot right between Bakura's eyes.

"Ohhhh, you said a bad word." The familiar voice of Raven said as her and her sister crawled into the chamber.

Yami blanched and Bakura laughed at the look of horror on the great pharaoh's face. April looked over at Bakura and cried out in anger at the Yami sized footprint on 'Batura's' head.

"You kick Batura!" she screamed. The mischievous look on Raven's face morphed into anger and she too screamed.

"Fair O kick Kura!" the little girl shouted and then both girls tackled Yami.

While April bit Yami's arm and pulled his hair, her sister kicked and slapped him. Bakura was cackling madly at the once king's plight. On the other side, all Yugi could hear was horrible screaming and laughing as Bakura wiggled his feet in delight.

"Yami?" he cried. "What's going on?"

"Yugi help!" the battered pharaoh shrieked.

His hikari quickly navigated through the tube maze and popped in on the other side and saw what was occurring. By that time however, Bakura was directing the children like a general and the girls were chasing the yami around the small enclosure, each making sure that their new playmate never escaped.

"Bite 'im April! Kick the naughty Fair O, Raven." Bakura shouted with a demonic grin.

Yami screamed like a little girl when both little girls executed their babysitter's plan. When he noticed Yugi, he immediately dove for him and the safety of the Puzzle.

"Oh, that was not fair." The general pouted. The little girls turned to Yugi and stuck out their little bottom lips.

"Bakura, have you thought about going into your item?" Yugi inquired mildly. The yami had the nerve to look sheepish.

"Uh… " at that moment the ring around Bakura's neck glowed and he vanished inside of it. Then…April and Raven looked at Yugi, where the Millennium Ring lay and at each before grinning.

"It's mine." They both cried running over to the golden item and snatched it up. April and Raven glared at one another as each tugged on the Ring.

"I wanna see." The littlest girl whined.

"Mine." Raven argued tugging on it.

"It Batura's shiny." Her sister responded and tried tugging it out of Raven's hands. This went on back and forth until finally Yugi broke it up by handing Raven the Millennium Puzzle.

"So how goes it." Ryou asked as the three little people crawled out of the Playland maze. The girls happily showed him their Millennium Items as they sat down across from him.

"Are they… inside the Items?" Ryou asked slowly. Yugi blushed and nodded.

April banged the Ring on the table and the white haired boy swore he could hear his yami cursing. Yugi too swore he heard his yami swear holy retribution as Raven tried giving 'Fair O's shiny' a greasy French fry.

"I feel so evil," Yugi said mischievously.

"Don't." Ryou replied. "I'm sure Yami's done something deserving of having greasy little fingers and fries jammed at the Millennium Puzzle."

Yugi thought for a moment, "He did use up all the hair gel in the house."

Ryou kept a straight face when all he wanted to do was laugh. Meanwhile, April felt that the Millennium Ring looked better around her neck and announced for all to hear.

"I a pretty princess!"

Raven, on the other hand, discovered that her Item came apart.

"Look!" she exclaimed holding out a piece of the Puzzle in her hand. Yugi looked over and blanched before quickly snatching up the Puzzle and sliding the piece back in. Immediately Yami appeared.

"I can't believe you let that demon get a hold of my Puzzle!" he shouted as Ryou slipped the Ring off of April and allowed Bakura to return.

"Hey!" Bakura shouted back. April squealed in delight upon hearing the yami's voice and nearly knocked him off his angry feet with a hug.

"Batura came back!" she cried holding out her arms for him to pick her up. He looked down at her and almost gave her a fond look, but it quickly changed to annoyance as he picked her up.

"You two muchkins have fun playing in Oz, we're outta here." The yami snapped before shoving the pharaoh aside and began walking out of the playground.

"Thanks for coming you two." Ryou said as he picked Raven up.

"No problem." Yugi replied ruffling Raven's hair and said to her. "Nice meeting you."

"Why Kura diss Fair O and 'Ugie?" she asked.

"Because he doesn't like us." Yami replied.

"Why?"

Ryou quickly followed his yami out before either boy could respond.

"What's dat?" Raven asked as they walked down the street. Bakura came out of his brooding and looked at what the girl pointed out. A street sign. One exactly like the last twenty they passed.

"It's a sign." Ryou replied to the girl he carried. Bakura felt April snuggle more firmly against him and sighed. She giggled as her sister asked another question.

"What's dat?" she asked pointing at another fascinating sight.

"A fire hydrant." Ryou answered with a sigh. He turned to his yami and asked, "Am I getting any of your babysitting money?"

Bakura glanced over at Raven, who stuck her tongue out at him and then down to the little girl burying her face in his chest.

"Ten dollars."

"They trashed my homework."

"I had to sit through a half hour of four men acting like morons."

"They broke my father's vase."

"So? I had to bath the little fiends."

Raven and April giggled at the yami and hikari. They watched as back and forth the two argued but soon they grew bored of their antics. April began to wonder if Bakura tasted as nice as he smelled. Raven wondered how long it would take to annoy Ryou with her endless and quite pointless questions.

"What's dat?"

"A phone booth." Ryou answered calmly before replying to Bakura, "Bakura, I think I deserve more than ten dollars for helping you out."

"You're not milking me for anymore money. It's mine." Just then the yami noticed his shirt was getting slightly damp. He looked down and saw April was licking him.

"Eww! Stop licking me!"

Raven giggled, stuck out her tongue and leaned over toward Bakura. Ryou settled her back into his arms as his counter part glared at her and April put her arms around him.

"My Batura." she firmly stated. Raven put her arms around Ryou and retorted with a similar claim.

"Yeah whatever." Bakura muttered as April gave him a wet kiss on the cheek and another hug.

"My Batura."
