Yokomon52: Aaaarrrggh...

Ryou: Don't mind her. She's mad at herself for not saving what she had of this chapter before her computer broke.

Yokomon52: But I can't use a whole bunch of files that I saved because my Floppy doesn't work! So my half-finished versions of From the Other Side, All I Know, and Just what I Need! got deleted! Bah humbug...

Seto: Too bad Yokomon52 has been too lazy to attempt to re-write any of those.

Yokomon52: Anyway, I'm going to try and finish this, but don't be surprised if it's not out until Christmas.

Marik: Yokomon52 does not own Yu-Gi-Oh!. Onwards!

Just What I Need! Chapter 5: The Call

"Er...'Ryou'? The phone's for you..." Yugi told Bakura, who looked confused.

"I'm not Ryou!" Bakura whispered angrily to Yugi.

"You're going to have to be! I think that's his dad on the phone!" Yugi shot back.

Since Bakura couldn't argue with that, he handed Ryou to Yugi and received the phone. Putting on his best 'Ryou' voice, Bakura walked out in the hall and put the phone to his ear.

Yugi, being the curious person that he is, followed Bakura into the doorway, where he could hear everything. This was what he heard:

"Hello?" 'Ryou' said. "Oh, hi, daddy! Yes, I'm fine. Oh that...you remember Yugi, the mi-I mean guy with the Millenium Puzzle? He answered the phone. Um...he's over here to...er...STUDY!!! That's it! Yes, I have plenty to eat...oh...really? But I thought...okay, then, I thought wrong...alright then, bye..."

Bakura returned to Ryou's room, looking extremely pale.

"What...?" Yugi started to ask.

"He said that he's going to be home in three days. He was at the airport when he called. The dig he was at was cancelled because of insane weather," Bakura informed him flatly.

Yugi looked down at the chibi in his arms. "We need to figure out how to get Ryou back to normal. What did Shaadi say about that?"

"I'm not sure..."

"You mean you didn't pay attention?!"

"I mean I don't care about a worthless chibi."

"Oh, that's right! You have to learn responsibility!"

"Shut up."

"You're just being moody."

"I am not."

"Yeah, right..."

"So how are we going o teach a moody 5000-year-old Tomb Robber responsibility?" Yugi asked Ryou.

"I've told you before, but I'll tell you again: I'm not moody!!"

Ryou giggled.

"What's that, Ryou? Did you say that we might need to get help from a friend of ours?"

"If you think that I am going to let Joey Wheeler within a mile of Ryou, you can just..."

"What's that, Ryou? You say that our friend should be about 5000 years old, too?"

"Oh, no you don't..."

"Well, whatever you say, Ryou..." Yugi told the chibi on his hip, who had been giggling constantly.

To the displeasure of Bakura, Yugi's Millenium Puzzle began to glow, and a very familiar semi-transparent figure appeared.

"Yugi? Why'd you call me? And whose baby is that?"

Bakura growled with annoyance in seeing one of his worst enemies. "Not you..." he groaned.
