Chapter 8

"Bunny!"

Marik growled a little at the name as Yami ran up and clamped on to his leg "Bunny come back! Bunny, Wyou won wet me into da hotel woom"

Ishizu knocked on the door to Bakura's room while Marik checked to make sure the was no cotton glued to him "I think he's still asleep" Ishizu declared "Yami, when did you come out?"

"Um..." yami stuck his thumb in his mouth to better ponder this question

"I'm gonna be stuck with 'bunny' for the rest of my life, thanks a lot Ryou" Marik hissed at no one in particular

"Bunny! Um… I wanted to go see bunny again but Wyou said no and made me go to bed! Then Wyou fewl asweep an I went outside to see bunny, but bunny wasn't dere" at this point Yami held Marik tighter "Den da door wouldn open again an Wyou wouldn wake up!"

"You've been out here all night?"

Yami nodded "I got to see da whole hotel! Can we go to da poo?"

Ishizu kicked Bakura's door, effectively waking the boy on the other side

"The poo?" Marik laughed "Do you need to use the bathroom?"

"NO! No bat-woom! POO!"

Bakura bolted out of the hotel room "Yami, why'd you leave?!"

"To pway wit Bunny" Yami said simply "Let's pway wit Bunny in da poo! Wyou did you bwing my swim pants?"

"Oh… Pool…" Marik shrugged, he was one of those people who had a lot of trouble understanding Yami

"Yami, repeat after me"

"wa-pete aftah me"

"Let's play with Bunny in the pool"

"Don't encourage the 'bunny' thing!" Marik cried

"Let's pwa-pwa-play wit Bunny at da poo… da poooooooool" Yami squealed and circling around Marik "Let's play with Bunny at da pool!"

"Close enough" Bakura fished a chocolate mint out of his pocket and gave it to Yami, who popped the whole thing into his mouth and waited for the chocolate to melt before spitting out the wrapper.

"Here Bunny"

"Oh… how…" Marik took the sticky once green and silver but now brown rapper from Yami "Nice…" he shoved it into his pocket

"Marik, I need to take Bakura and Atem somewhere, please entertain Yami while we're gone" Ishizu glared at the four year old, who was jumping in circles around Marik chanting 'bunny' "Don't let him destroy anything"

Marik watched Ishizu send Bakura outside then get Atem and lead him out "Why can't Yugi look after him…?"

"Bunny come on!" Yami tugged Marik in the direction of the pool "Da poo! Da pool! I wanna go to da pool!"

OOOOO

Marik sighed "I'm not drying those clothes off for you! (Crazy kid)" he watched Yami dart back and fourth, jumping into the water, speeding to the nearest ladder, running around the pool, then repeating the process. He'd nearly screamed when Bakura had called him and given him instructions for baby sitting. Of course, he'd waited until after giving Yami a chocolate before letting Marik know that even the smallest amounts of sugar made Yami extremely hyper. Why not? It wasn't like he didn't already have enough energy.

"Bunny, play in da pool wit me!"

Marik snorted "I'd prefer to stay dry"

Yami growled, his brown eyes turned a redish-purple color "PLAY WIT ME!" He screamed. Marik squeaked as the room went dark and a dragon sprang out of the pool. It was just about to snap its jaws around him when Yami shut his eyes and fell over on the floor and the dragon and darkness disappeared.

Hesitantly, Marik made his way over to Yami and picked him up "Are… are you okay?" He swallowed hard as Yami opened his eyes again. Yami still had shadow magic, and Bakura had known. He had to have known.

"Sweep time now" Yami whispered before falling asleep

Malik laughed, locking Marik away in the back off his mind. Yami could still use shadow magic. Yami was four. Yami had no memories of before he was turned into a infant. Yami was his knew pawn.

Isaya831: Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll I planed on doing another chapter of Life Swap first but oh well. Maybe I'll work on a story on one of my other accounts now. I haven't logged onto fictionpress in at least two weeks… or not

Mari: I feel unloved… returns to fictioinpress story

Yami: …wait… so I'm a pawn now! Oh god I hate you!

Isaya831: Well, think about it. You're an innocent four year old with powerful shadow magic. You were very easy to manipulate before you were turned into a kid and forgot that not everyone has the best intentions in mind, and to top it off you turn into a cry baby in need of any sort of explanation once 'daddy' has been away to long. How could someone not make you a pawn?

Yami: ………

Isaya831: You're words mirror you thoughts, THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE!!!
