Chapter 13- Discovery

Yugi, Heba, Ryou, Malik, and Jou all got up early in the morning on Saturday.

Touma was surprised when he saw all of them up. "What are you all doing up so early on a Saturday morning?" Touma asked.

"Well, we kinda sorta have dates." Yugi said.

"So, planning to spend the whole day with them?" Touma asked.

"We thought about it." Heba said.

"Well, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to ruin one of your dates." Touma said.

"What do you mean?" Ryou asked.

"There's some things that I needed to do, and I need one of you to watch Jun for me." Touma said.

"Well, that won't be a problem, Tou. We were all planning to go to the zoo, anyway. We can take Jun with us." Yugi said.

"Good. I really appreciate it." Touma said.

"When will you back?" Malik asked.

"Not sure. It'll be either late in the afternoon or this evening." Touma replied.

"Well, would you mind if we brought them back to the house after we go to the zoo?" Jou asked.

"I don't mind as long as you all behave." Touma answered.

"Come on, Touma. Do you really think that we're going to try and have sex with them?" Jou asked.

Touma looked at him. "Jou, I was teenager once, too. I know some of the things that people will try, and I wouldn't put it past you guys." Touma said.

"Touma, we were just going to watch a movie or play games." Yugi said. At Touma's look, Yugi added, "Video games, board games, card games, things like that."

"Just nothing like strip poker." Touma said.

"Come on. There is no way that we would do something like that." Jou said.

"Jou, you or Malik would do something like that, and I know it." Touma said.

"Okay." Malik said.

"Good. Now, I expect that you will behave in front of Jun. I don't want him to see anything inappropriate. If he asks questions, I'm killing you all." Touma said.

"Understood." Heba agreed.

Jun came in at the moment. "Papa, what are we doing today?" Jun asked.

"I have to go out and do some things, Jun. You'll be spending the day with Yugi, Heba, Ryou, Malik, and Jou." Touma said.

"I will?" Jun asked.

"Yes. We were planning to go to the zoo today with our boyfriends." Yugi said.

"And I can come?" Jun asked.

"Of course." Yugi said.

"All right!" Jun said happily.

The group laughed.

"We'd better get ready to leave. We're meeting them over at their house." Yugi said.


Seiji was sitting in the living room, enjoying his coffee and reading the newspaper when Yami, Atemu, Marik, Bakura, and Seto entered the room. Seiji starred at them in shock as he said, "What are all of you doing up this early in the morning?"

"We have dates today. We're heading to the zoo early today." Yami answered.

"Why can't you two be this easy to get up on school mornings?" Seiji asked, looking at Marik and Bakura.

"Because we don't want to go to school, but we want to go out on these dates." Bakura answered.

Seiji shook his head. "When are you going to be back?" Seiji asked.

"We don't know, but we'll be back before curfew." Yami said.

"All right. Make sure that you are." Seiji said.

The group left the house.


Yugi and his group and Yami and his group arrived at the restaurant they were meeting at to eat breakfast before they headed on to the zoo.

"Hey, guys." Bakura said.

"Hey. Glad to see that you made it out of bed." Malik said.

"Well, we were rather happy to see you, so it wasn't a problem to get out of bed." Marik said.

"Oh. There was one extra person that's with us today." Yugi said.

Jun was behind Yugi when he saw them. He was a little unsure because he had never met them before.

"Hey. So, this is your little cousin." Yami said.

"Yeah. This is Jun." Yugi said.

"Hello." Jun said.

"Hey, there. Glad to finally meet you." Yami said.

"Who are all of you?" Jun asked.

"You can call me Yami." Yami answered.

"I'm Atemu." Atemu said.

"Are you two related?" Jun asked.

"Yes. Yami and I are twins." Atemu answered.

"Oh! Just like Yugi and Heba." Jun said.

"Yeah. That's right, Jun." Yugi said.

"And I'm Seto. I'm Yami and Atemu's cousin." Seto said.

"I'm Marik." Marik told him.

"And I'm Bakura." Bakura said.

"Now that we all know each other, can we please go in and eat. I'm starving." Jou whined.

Seto rolled his eyes. "Puppy, you are always hungry." Seto said.

"Can I help it that I stay hungry all the time?" Jou asked.

"Yes!" everyone else replied.

"Come on. Le's go on in." Yugi said.

Jun walked beside Yugi and said, "Yugi, why did he call Jou puppy?"

"It's just a nickname that Seto calls Jou." Yugi answered.

"Why?" Jun asked.

"It's just something that they do." Yami said.

The group walked in to eat.


After breakfast, the group headed to the zoo.

They paid their entrance fee and then walked in.

"We'll see you later." Bakura said before he grabbed Ryou's hand and ran off.

"Bye! We'll catch up later!" Marik said, grabbing Malik and running off with him.

"Meet up with you again in a few hours!" Seto said before he and Jou went off.

"Well, I'd say that they want to be alone." Heba said.

"Why?" Jun asked.

"Never mind." Yugi said.

"So, what do you guys want to do?" Atemu asked.

"Can we see the tigers?" Jun asked.

"Sure thing. Let's just get a map so that we can find out way around." Yugi said.

"I'll get one." Yami said. He went to the welcome desk and got a map of the zoo before returning to his friends. "Okay. The tigers are this way." Yami said, pointing.

Jun started to run off.

"Hey! Jun, don't run off!" Yugi shouted, running after his younger cousin.

Heba, Yami, and Atemu ran after the two.

Jun was fascinated by the tigers.

"I know one thing. I would never want to have to face a tiger." Atemu said.

"Not even for me, Atemu?" Heba asked, looking hurt.

"Only to save you. I wouldn't face a tiger for your enjoyment." Atemu said.

"I can live with that." Heba said.

"Okay. So, what do you want to see next?" Yugi asked.

"Hmm. How about we go and see the monkeys?" Yami asked.

"I didn't know that you wanted to see Jou." Heba said.

Yugi, Heba, and Jun bust out laughing at that.

Atemu and Yami looked lost.

"What are you talking about?" Atemu asked.

"Sorry. Just an inside joke. Jou can climb a tree as easily as a monkey could, and he also eats bananas like they're going out of style. We just started calling him a monkey." Yugi explained.

"Okay. That makes a little more sense." Atemu said.

The group continued on and went to see the monkeys.

As they walked, Atemu and Heba held each other's hands while Yami and Yugi held each other's hand. Jun was ahead of them a little, but close enough that Yugi felt at ease.

"Not that I mind your cousin being here, but whey were you guys watching him?" Yami asked.

"Oh. Touma had some stuff that he needed to do, so he asked us to watch him. I figured that it wouldn't be so bad since we were coming to the zoo. I knew that Jun loved the zoo. He's been begging for someone to take him for the past week, anyway." Yugi said.

"I see. Well, I can tell that he's enjoying this." Yami said.

"I know. You should see the number of books he has about different animals." Yugi said.

"He has a lot?" Atemu asked.

"Oh, yeah. Way too many." Heba said.

"Well, he does read them." Yugi said.

"How old is he?" Yami asked.

"Five. He'll be six in a few months." Yugi said.

After seeing all of the animals' exhibits that they wanted, the group headed for the gates.

"Well, we should have known that the others wouldn't be here yet." Atemu said.

"What are they doing?" Jun asked, looking up at the four teenagers.

"Nothing, Jun." Yugi said.

"Jun, why don't we go in the gift shop?" Yami suggested.

"Okay." Jun said, brightening up.

Yami took Jun into the gift shop.

"Now, where are they?" Atemu asked.

"Atemu, they are probably somewhere sitting down, making out, and giving some poor kid a bad image or bad ideas." Heba said.

"Well, we could always call them and tell that we're going to be leaving." Yugi suggested.

"Good idea." Atemu said, smirking.

"Maybe this wasn't the best of ideas." Yugi said.

"No. It's a real good idea." Atemu said, taking out his cell phone. He dialed a number and held it away from his ear.

"Why are you doing that?" Yugi asked.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?! I DON'T NEED YOU TO INTERRUPT ME!" Bakura shouted into the phone.

Atemu then put it at his ear and said, "Bakura, we're at the exit. We're going to be going to eat lunch soon unless you would prefer us leave you and starve." Atemu said.

Bakura growled into the phone before he said, "Fine! We'll be there in a minute!" He then hung up on Atemu.

"That's why you held the phone away from your ear." Yugi said.

"Exactly." Atemu said. He then dialed another number and hold the phone away.

"YOU'D BETTER HAVE A GOOD REASON FOR INTERRUPTING ME!" Marik shouted.

Atemu then put the phone back to his ear and said, "Yes, I do. We're at the exit. We'll be going to get lunch pretty soon. Get over here if you want to eat."

"Fine. We're on our way." Marik before hanging up.

"That was fun." Atemu said.

"What was fun?" Seto asked as he and Jou walked up.

"I just called Marik and Bakura to let them know that we were ready to leave to eat lunch." Atemu said.

"I bet they were pissed." Seto said.

"Yeah. They were." Atemu said.

"Yugi! Heba!" Jun called.

Yugi and Heba turned to see the young boy run up to them.

"Look what Yami bought me." Jun said, showing them a toy tiger and lion.

Yami shrugged. "He liked them so I bought them." Yami said.

"Okay. Once the others get here, we'll be going to eat." Yugi said.

A few minutes later, Marik and Malik arrived along with Bakura and Ryou.

"Atemu, don't ever interrupt me again." Bakura growled.

"What did he interrupt?" Jun asked innocently.

"Um, our-seeing the animals." Ryou said.

"Really?" Jun asked.

"Yes." Bakura said quickly.

"Come on. Let's go eat." Yugi said.


After eating, the group headed back to the house to watch a movie.

Since Jun was with them, they decided to watch Cars.

"Well, that was a nice movie." Ryou said.

"Yeah, but we couldn't be romantic." Bakura muttered.

"Yugi, can I go upstairs and play?" Jun asked.

"Okay. Just don't make a mess." Yugi said.

"Okay." Jun said before he ran upstairs.

"Now, we can have some real fun." Marik said.

"Oh no we're not! We promise Touma that we wouldn't do anything." Yugi said.

"We won't do anything." Marik said innocently.

Heba's eyes narrowed. "What did you have in mind?" Heba asked.

"Well, um, we thought about strip poker." Marik said.

"Not on your life!" Ryou growled.

"How about we play a game of poker for nothing." Yugi said.

"Sure thing. That'll work." Yami said.

The group started to play a game of poker. Or five of them did. The other five would play a game later.

"Hey, Yugi!" Jun called.

"What is it?" Yugi asked.

Jun ran into the room and said, "Yugi, look! I found a book filled with pictures of Papa and Daddy!" Jun said.

Yugi took the book, which was obviously a photo album. "Jun, where did you get this?" Yugi asked.

"In the storeroom. It was in a box." Jun answered.

"Okay, Jun. Do you want to show this to Papa?" Yugi asked.

Jun nodded.

"Okay. We'll show him tomorrow. Go on back and play." Yugi said.

Jun went back upstairs.

"Who's his daddy?" Atemu asked.

"We've never met him. Touma doesn't talk about him very much. All we know is that they were together for almost eight years when they split up. He found out he was pregnant after that." Heba said.

"Hmm. Who is this guy?" Bakura asked.

The group opened the album and found pictures of Seiji and Touma along with other people.

"What the hell?! Is Seiji his father?" Seto asked.

"I don't know. I mean, it could be someone else. I mean, they were nothing more than friends, right?" Atemu asked.

Yugi started flipping through the pictures. "Um, there's no way that they were just friends." Yugi said.

"What makes you say that?" Yami asked.

Yugi turned the album and pointed to a picture. "Does that look like just friends?" Yugi asked.

The pictures showed Seiji and Touma locked in a deep kiss, and it was obviously not posed.

"Wow! That's quite a kiss." Bakura said.

"This means that Seiji and Touma were way more than friends." Jou said.

"You know, I'm beginning to think that Seiji is Jun's other father." Yami said.

"Why do you say that?" Malik asked.

"Jun's eyes. They remind me of Seiji's." Yami said.

"They're not like his. Jun's eyes are gentle, not piercing." Marik said.

Seto whacked Marik in the head.

"Ow! What was that for?" Marik asked, rubbing his head.

"He means the color of Jun's eyes, not the way they look." Seto snapped.

"You know, there has to be more to this than we know." Atemu said.

"Maybe it's time that we talk to them about this." Yugi said.

"Yeah, but we don't even know if Jun is Seiji's." Heba said.

"He is." Yugi said.

"How do you know that?" Bakura asked.

"Because when we first saw Seiji when you guys got in that fist fight at school, that night, I asked Touma is Seiji was Jun's father, and he said yes. Jun is Seiji's, but I don't know anymore than that." Yugi said.

"I would say that it is time for us to do some digging." Yami said.

"Yeah. We need to find out what is going on." Marik agreed.


Hope that you liked it.

Next: Seiji and Touma are confronted about the truth by their charges.
