Tie-dyed Trickster-How many of those cages do you have? Anyway, there wasn't any mention of it but both soul rooms were on fire. Evil yami put his out first because he was there right then and came to rescue little yami cuzz if little yami dies evil yami dies to.

No one in particular-I'm sorry. I have no diea how to reply to that

Tomboy 601-You could say that

Tsubasa no Ryu-That's good. Not everyone did. The evil and good yami speaking thing wont have much of an effect on this story thoughh

Chapter 12

Yami yawned and crawled of his dad. Ryou had never been able to afford an extra bed so the two always slept together. Yami liked it. Being around Ryou made him feel safe, like his dad was protecting him from something… something mean and scary, like Shadi. Ryou hadn't protected him from Shadi the last time though. The other Yami had. The other Yami was now up around the top of his 'hero' list.

For some reason he had the feeling the Ryou would let him down today. He helped himself to pop tarts in the Ishtar's cabinet. It counted as a breakfast right? That's what the commercials said and if it was on TV it had to be right.

After this he watched TV. He hadn't seen most of these shows before. And the ones he had seen all the characters he'd known and loved had decided to speak a language other than English or Japanese. The two languages Ryou had taught him.

Eventually he bored of this and wandered outside. There was a car driving up to the apartment complex. Yami growled when he saw who stepped out, Erika. Yugi had mentioned her being there yesterday but Yami had chosen to ignore this. Suddenly he realized that right after being reunited with Ryou the evil one might come and try to break them up.

OOOOO

After being woken up by Yami screaming something incoherent about Erika it had taken several cups of coffee to get Bakura's mind fully functioning.

At this time Erika had come in and dragged Bakura off to who knows where, leaving Yami to mope around and feel like he'd been robbed.

"Erika, what's this about"

"Okay, now that Yami's safe at home and alive I've got something I want to ask you" She pulled a ring box out of her pocket "Now this is supposed to be your job but we both know you'd never actually ask so… Will you marry me?"

Bakura grinned "I'd love too"

"Can I keep the ring and say you asked me?"

"That's a good idea"

"Okay" Erika took out a silver ring and put it on her finger "It's so pretty, thank you, Ryou, I love you so much" She hugged him

"Um… Erika… there's something I need to tell you"

"You aren't really a girl are you? I mean you look a bit like one but-"

"ERIKA!" Bakura was blushing now. He couldn't believe Erika had asked that "I… no, it's about Yami"

"You're his real father?"

"No. I'm… um… boy…. You have to swear not to call me crazy"

"I swear"

"Well… Yami was born three thousand years ago in ancient Egypt, got in a war with a pharaoh, his soul was sealed inside a millennium item (A golden ring that I used to have as a necklace) just think of it as a little golden decoration, then his soul was released but he was hit by this spell that made him a baby with no memories of anything and they were going to kill him because they thought he was still evil but they didn't let him, but he has these powers and-"

"Can you prove it?" Was the first thing that popped into Erika's head after 'He's crazy' and 'Ohmygod I just asked a mental patient to marry me'

"Only if Yami wants to cooperate. If not then you're in for a surprise later"

OOOOO

"Okay, Niwwa, you pway wit da bwack pieces and I get to be da white ones" Yami told his stuffed cat as he set the chess board up the way he'd seen everyone set up a checkers board.

After a few minute's he was tugging on Marik's shirt "Bunny, Niwwa won' pway wit me. Can you pway instead?"

(Isaya831: I'm sorry, I had to put that in there)

OOOOO

Erika came home positively beaming, having gotten past the idea that her fiancé was mentally ill. Bakura followed after her, looking happy but doing a better job of hiding it. Erika didn't want to hide it though. She walked into the very center of the house before yelling at the top of her lungs "RYOU AND I ARE ENGAGED!!!"

Yami didn't quite know what that meant. But somehow it filled him with a tiny little sense of dread.

Isaya831: blushing sorry I didn't update for a while. I got caught up reading other stories then realized 'OHMYGOD I'm becoming one of those jerks who leaves people hanging forever!' so here's the next chapter. The plans just to do one for the wedding and then the story ends.
