Daddy for the Weekend

Chapter One

.i do not own yu-gi-oh!.

Yami was confused. Why was he confused one might ask? Well the fact that his girlfriend of six months was currently standing in front of him with his sister-in-law and their friends holding what looked like over the weekend bags was very alarming. Not to mention the fact that each and every child each mother claimed was currently occupying his living room, making a complete mess of it with their own bags. He hadn't meant for the question to come out the way that it did. He really didn't. He had just spoken before his brain could come up with a more tactful way to ask, "Uh, Yūgi? What the hell is going on here?"

"I honestly was wondering how long it was going to take for you to ask that question," Yūgi laughed nonchalantly. "The girls and I are taking a much needed Girls Trip this weekend and we needed you to watch the children. It's only for tonight and tomorrow. We'll be back Sunday afternoon."

"And where are all of their fathers," Yami inquired, irking a brow.

"Bakura and Marik disappeared to only the Gods know where two days ago without a word," came the exasperated reply from Malik. "We have no idea when they'll be back, if they even come back that is. And as soon as I see Marik again, I'm going to be giving him a piece of my mind… and Bakura too while I'm at it."

"And Seto's somewhere in America, somethin' about meetin' with Pegasus to discuss the new and improved duel discs that are supposed to be released sometime around Christmas next year," Joey answered offhandedly. "He won't be back until Tuesday night."

"And Atem left for Egypt Wednesday," Mana chirped last. "He won't be back until early Thursday morning. Now, Hiba could have stayed home but she's here to help you watch after the younger kids so that they're not all just thrown on you alone. Her own idea as well, I might add."

"And so are Yuki and Hiyori," Yūgi piped. She really hoped that he wouldn't be too angry about them dumping all the kids on him at once without prior notice. "Considering you'll have your hands full with Hima, Kisara, Hikari, Ryuu, and Keiko. They actually offered to come and help themselves as well. Plus, you would be doing us a really big favour by watching them. We've been planning this trip for the last month now."

A strangled sigh escaped Yami's grasp as he ran a hand through his tri-coloured hair. "You all owe me big time for this. I'll look after them for the weekend since you all already had this pre-planned. That doesn't mean that I'll enjoy it though."

A kiss was placed on his cheek as the other women squealed in delight. Yūgi grinned at her boyfriend, "Thank you so much Yami. We'll pay you back one of these days."

"Of course you will," Yami agreed. "You five owe me big time. And I will personally kick Marik and Bakura's asses when I see them again. Atem and Seto… really that one can't be helped. They're out on business, not just off frolicking in the savanna or something. Now go have fun, we'll see you Sunday afternoon."

Yūgi laughed, stealing one last kiss before she and the other women left; leaving Yami alone with a house full of kids. Yami groaned, what was he going to do for the weekend with eight children under the age of eighteen years old?

"Fuck me running," he mumbled to himself as he slid into one of the stools that were set up at the island; his head resting in his hands.

Three sets of feet were heard entering the kitchen before each took a seat in three of the remaining five stools.

"So Uncle Yami," Hiba said looking at her uncle with a large smile, "What's the game plan for the weekend?"

Yami wanted to cry. Why did it have to be him that was on kid detail for the weekend? He would definitely be giving Bakura and Marik a piece of his mind whenever they came back since it was partially their fault he had to watch after every child his friends produced plus his own. "The game plan is… to find a way to keep me sane while I figure out how to deal with a house full of children under the age of eighteen because their fathers took off and their mothers are out on a girl's weekend."

"Wow you're definitely taking this well Yami," Yuki drawled, sarcasm coating his every word. "Better than expected. By now I thought you would be running for the hills."

"Hey, it's not my fault I'm not overly thrilled with having every single one of you here at the same time, in my care for the entire weekend," Yami huffed, glancing over at the tri-colour haired teen. "I'm not equipped for this."

"And this is exactly why Mom left us here with you," Hiyori chimed happily. "That way you're not overwhelmed with taking care of all of the little kids at the same time. So, here's what I propose we do. We each take responsibility for one kid. Yami you take Hikari for obvious reasons. Hiba, you take Ryuu and keep an eye on Keiko from time to time. She's old enough to mostly look after herself but still. Yuki, since Hima already seems to be attached to you, you keep an eye on her. And I'll take Kisara. Sound good?"

"I'm all for it," Yami was quick to answer.

"Me too," Yuki pitched in.

"And so am I," Hiba said. "Now what about entertainment?"

"I thought of that too," Hiyori said holding up a finger matter-of-factly. "We need to go to the video and grocery stores. I figure we rent like ten or fifteen DVDs and Blu-Rays for the weekend then go get snacks and drinks from the grocery store. And my Great Grandpa sent Yuki and I with lots of board games and tons of new Duel Monster's cards. We can teach anyone who wants to learn how to build their own deck and how to play."

"Leave it to Hiyori to come up with ways to keep those kids busy at all times," Yuki chuckled.

"Even I wouldn't have thought of that and I'm the parent here," Yami commented laughing lightly. "That'll definitely keep them busy for the weekend. I know Hikari has been dying to learn more about Duel Monsters but no one has had time to teach her."

"So how about we get started," Hiba suggested. "Yuki and Uncle Yami, you two can run to the grocery and video stores. Get movies that are kid friendly like Disney Classics and whatnot. Hiyori or I will text you the list of snacks while we get started teaching them how to play Duel Monsters. That should keep them busy for a while."

"Alright," Yami said as he and Yuki stood from their seats. "I'll also grab pizzas for dinner tonight, is that alright with everyone?"

"Yep," Hiyori chirped. "Can you also grab bread, chips, and lunch meat for their lunches tomorrow too please?"

Yami nodded as he fished his keys from the centre of the island before they turned to leave, "Sure, just text Yuki or I everything that you want or think that we'll need this weekend."

"Okay," Hiba pipped as she and Hiyori made their way back to the living room. Hiba clapped her hands together right as the door closed behind Yami and Yuki, "So, who wants to learn how to play Duel Monsters?"

Five hands immediately shot up causing Hiyori to chuckle. She unzipped the bag that she had been holding, letting packages of Duel Monsters cards to fall out on the floor. "Alright then, let's get started. The first thing Hiba and are going to teach you is how to properly build your deck."

Five sets of eyes zoned in on Hiyori and Hiba as they sat down and opened the first packs of cards that they each grabbed.

Yami is definitely in for a whirlwind of a ride for a weekend. Let's see if he can survive it.
