Chapter 2
Yami blinked as he woke up. He was hungry. Normally when he cried Ryou fed him, so the logical thing to do was to cry.
Atem covered his ears "How does Bakura put up with you?" he asked Yami. Now three months old, Yami had learned to recognize Ryou, just in time for Ryou to have to return to school and ask Mr. Motou and Atem to baby sit for him.
After half an hour of listening to Yami whine Atem gave up on trying to ignore him and found the formula Bakura always fed Yami
"Do you want your bottle?" Atem asked Yami, holding the bottle up for him. Yami knew several words, though he couldn't say any. Bottle was one of them. What he knew was that if Ryou said it he could try to grab the bottle and Ryou would feed him, or he could keep crying and Ryou would try something else. He wanted to be fed, so he stopped crying and tried to grab the bottle
"To bad" Atem muttered, tossing the bottle of formula away "I don't serve evil"
Yami was at a loss for what to do. Ryou always knew to feed him when he did that. Why had this new person put his bottle away?
Of course, the only way he knew of to let someone know something was wrong was to cry. And since that apparently hadn't worked the last time didn't it make sense to cry harder?
Atem scowled "I'm not going to feed you so shut up!"
When Ryou touched him it made him feel warm and safe. When this new person touched him it as only for an instant. It was hard and cold… and it hurt. He started screaming but he kept feeling the same touch over and over again.
Atem had hit Yami seven times and was about to hit him again when Bakura walked into the room "NO!" he screamed, though he was barely heard over Yami.
He tackled Atem down before he could deliver the eighth blow. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING! HE'S A BABY!"
"HE'S EVIL!" Atem screamed back.
Bakura ignored Atem. Picking Yami up instead "There, there" he whispered holding Yami close. The baby quieted down. It continued to cry but was no longer screaming "Its okay Yami. Daddy's here, don't cry"
Yami leaned against Bakura's chest "Wyou…" he whispered. Closing his eyes and falling asleep.
With Yami calmed down Bakura returned his attention to Atem "He's a baby. So what if he used to cause trouble, he's different now. You can't treat him like that, Atem, he's a human being"
Atem rolled his eyes "No Bakura, you don't get it. He's Yami. He's an evil spirit and something needs to done about him before he's powerful enough to destroy us all"
Bakura held Yami tightly "Monster" he spat, and stormed off.
Mr. Motou walked into the room "I suppose the next time Yami's over I should look after him and you can look after the store…"
Isaya831: Chapter 3 was done before chapter 2 because you were originally supposed to get this in bits and pieces.
Oh well
