Yugi took his now empty bottle out of his mouth and gave it to Atemu then clapped his hands. "Birdy make me appy sues Temmy." Yugi said happily as Atemu handed Yugi back to Yami. Yugi then swiped a mini shrimp from Yami's plate and tried it smiling happily as he swiped some more from Yami's plate when Yami wasn't looking.

"Yami," Ciel said.

"I know," Yami winked. "He is really into playing 'spy' these days.”

"Why does he call Sebastian a bird?" Lizzie asked. "He reminds me more of a kitty." Sebastian feigned tears. "Your words move me, my lady! To be compared to the most noble and intelligent creature on this Earth!"

"Could be the raven hair and the jests Atemu likes to give Sebastian when their alone. I swear their both more like a wolf and a lynx battling for territory." Yami said with a sigh.

"I thought Egyptians worshipped cats." Ciel said surprised.

"Dogs are actually more intelligent and the best companions." Atemu said.

"Bastet is one of the gods but the god of the dead is Anubis and he is often depicted as a dog. Atemu leans more to either a cobra or a wolf in nature as for Sebastian a Raven for his intelligence and a cat for his nimble body and quick reflexes as well as his eye for -cough- light beams and shiny things." Yami said as his left eye glimmered in a demonic nature for a few seconds.

"You're much more than you seem, milady." Sebastian said being the only one to see this.

"A mother always knows things others don't." Yami said simply.

"What does this have to do with Atemu or I?"

Yami just chuckled while taking a bite of his curry bun humming in delight.

"What was that about?" Sebastian asked Atemu as they took dishes to be washed.

"Lady Yami may have caught you daydreaming last night while you guarded the grounds." Atemu stated in a teasing manor after they dropped off the dishes returning to the room with Atemu heading back over to Yami to clean Yugi's face making the child laugh and giggle holding his hands out to the male. /Tell your wife she is mistaken and to not make assumptions. I despise all and do not daydream for anyone or anything/ Sebastian said.

/fine prick./ Atemu snorted mentally picking Yugi up who snuggled into him and fell asleep tightly holding on to Atemu's jacket like a blanket.

"Ciel what do you want for your birthday?" Lizzie asked sweetly as they moved to the drawing room for tea before bed.

"Nothing its a day I wish not to remember Lizzie," Ciel said with an emotionless face.

"I'm sure making new, happy memories could help ease some pain..." the pigtailed girl said.

"I don't think so Lizzie." Ciel said glancing at Yami who was helping Atemu get Yugi off asking Mai where Yugi's dolly was.

"She's here." Mai said holding the doll in the image of an Egyptian girl with dark hair and cream colored Egyptian dress, hat, and a staff that could be removed or put back in her hand. "We should take him up. He wants to take off the blanket. I think it's making his... legs... too warm."

"Come on Yugi let's get you up into the cooler room." Yami said taking Yugi upstairs with Atemu following leaving Lizzie and Ciel to themselves with their respected help.

"off, off." Yugi pointed to the blanket. "Please?"

Yami smiled and unwrapped the blanket from Yugi's tail rising a brow when a noticeable dent in the center of the tail was seen. "Mai what's this?"

"I...am not sure...ok, Yugi, you may walk now." Mai responded also confused, Yugi just smiled and hopped to the floor and slithered with ease around the room. "He doesn't seem to be in pain. Mai, did he have any injuries while we were separated?"

"No but the dent has been happening since he got separated from you could it be his legs forming Miss?"

"Yes, it could be." Yami said relieved. "Wait....this wasn't supposed to happen another   months. Should we be concerned?"

"If anything he will start walking within a month or two it's perfectly normal with Yugi being a month early into the world, Love." a rushed slam of a door echoed through the building making Yami raise an elegant brow. "Can you stay with Yugi, Atemu? I'm going to find out what that was," Yami said leaving the room heading to the central staircase where Ciel and Sebastian stood the former looking dumbfounded.

"What's going on?" Yami asked.

"Lizzie was going to give me something then she took it back and rushed out with Paulina. I think they're going back to town to look for a gift for my birthday." Ciel said while Yami looked at the door and decided to help the young lady out a bit. "Sebastian, can i have my coat and hat, please? I'm going to be out for an hour or two and help Lizzie out a bit." Yami called to the tall raven haired butler.

"M'lady, don't you usually go to bed after supper?"

"I've yet to take my medicine as it usually knocks me out and allows me to sleep. Right now i need to check on Lizzie and make sure she is alright and not scrambling around like a lost chick looking for its mother." Yami sighed out pulling on his coat gloves and scarf.

"She does know all the shopping centers around. Take your butler or mine at least." Ciel said.

"I'll be fine Ciel besides i might as well be a girl's night out on the town," Yami called over his shoulder leaving the house.

Meanwhile, Lizzie looked about from her carriage. They were stopped in traffic. "What's that music?" she asked aloud.

"Music My lady i don't hear anything?" Paulina said worry in her voice.

"I'll be right back." she opened the carriage door.

Lizzie ran following the music while a shout was heard from behind her "Lizzie, Lizzie, please slow down!" Yami called running after the fast moving girl.

"Huh? Oh Yami! What a cute hat! Are you here shopping for Ciel? Let's go together! Two heads are better than one!"

Yami came to a stop by the girl looking around eyes falling to the little doll shop down the road. "What's that?" Yami asked pointing to the shop as more music echoed through the silent street.

"We have to go in!" Lizzie declared. Yami did not like the feeling or look of the place. Something was wrong with those dolls. :Lizzie what about the shop down the street?" he pointed to the brightly lit shops. "I don't think my cousin would like a doll."

"Please Yami-chan?" Lizzie asked using her puppy dog eyes that reminded Yami of Yugi's eyes with their purity. Yami sighed "alright, but we are just looking, Lizzie, alright?" Yami asked twirling the wedding ring under his gloved hand.

"Why are you so nervous? It's just a shop."

"Must be because i left Yugi in a hurry." Yami said entering the shop first with Lizzie following behind him.

"What can I help you ladies find today?" asked a silky voice as the door shut.

Yami looked to see a man that was dressed like a puppet. 'He must have been at the festival and was selling some dolls there.' Yami concluded smiling at the man "we are just looking for a gift for my cousin."

"Your eyes are melancholy." The man said. He looked at Yami. "Such pretty eyes. Motherly. Does your child love dolls?"

"Yes, my son does very much." Yami said looking around slowly while making Lizzie sit down to let the tired girl rest.

"Aha! I know the perfect gift then!" the man exclaimed.

"What could that be? He isn't that easy to get a gift." Yami said walking over to the man standing behind the chair Lizzie sat in placing a hand on the saddened girl’s shoulder giving a soft motherly smile for comfort then looked at the man and for some reason was drawn into his eyes and couldn't look away.

"For your beloved, little Miss, and your son, my Golden Lady," he said referring to Yami's gold dress. "I will give them... you. You'll make the perfect gifts." The sick feeling Yami had got worse.

/Atemu!/

"Yugi!" Atemu cried as his son darted around him and down the stairs. He paused at the door. He was too short to reach to knob. "Mama!" he cried urgently. "Fall down, fall down! Fairy lady!" he insisted pointing to the door. "Fairy lady?" Ciel asked. "My fair lady." Sebastian said. "Like in the nursery rhyme. He seems to think his mother is in trouble. His mother went with Lady Elizabeth."

-ring ring ring- "Phantomhive residence..."

"Sebastian, it's Paula! Lady Elizabeth ran off somewhere in town! She said she heard music and now she's gone!"

"Did she see Yami at all?" Atemu asked worried while picking Yugi up the young one reaching for the door.

/Atemu!/ Yami's voice called. Atemu gasped. Where were they?! "Pluto?" Ciel asked. Indeed, the huge dog watched them with red eyes. Atemu was in awe but that was for later. "Can this beauty find them?" he asked.

"Yes, but we will need something of Yami's, or Lizzie's that they have recently worn or had in their possession," Ciel said putting on his cloak and hat worry plainly on his face.

"Yugi!" Yugi cried rising his hand as if volunteering. "Of course." Atemu smiled and held up the child letting the dog sniff causing Yugi to giggle.

"Find Yami, Pluto, seek." Atemu said firmly to the hellhound, Pluto nodded and after a sniff howled at the door after finding Yami's sent.

They followed Pluto until a rather... unwelcome visitor came upon them. "Bassy!" Came that annoying, poor attempt at a woman’s voice. A flash of shark like teeth and bright red hair under the street lamps. "Where are you... oh my..." the reaper paused spotting Atemu. "Who is this delicious...oh dear another demon. William is not going to be happy."

"Like i care anymore Reaper i already had three of you down my back in Japan i don't need a fourth on that list." Atemu said coldly holding Yugi tightly in his grasp.

Pluto howled and ran following the scent. "Mama!" Yugi cried.

Meanwhile in a dark room lit by a giant pit of fire crimson amethyst eyes opened with a throbbing headache from the smells coming from the place. 'Blood i smell wax and blood.'

/mama/ a little voice in. His head. His son was close. And... his husband. "I'll make you a doll." The puppet man said. "For your son to play with. You should thank me."

Yami tried to glare at the puppet man but couldn't like his eyes wouldn't work right.

"Build it up with wax and stone wax and stone wax and stone.

Build it up with wax and stone, my fair lady~."

The man sang waving his arm in time with a silent beat as Yami fell back into the trance closing his eyes again becoming still as a doll. The puppet man then set to work perfecting Yami's clothes while taking off Yami's 'imperfect' gloves and coming across a wedding ring with small purple diamond shards in the band with a large red star cut diamond in the center.

"An odd accessory for you My Golden Lady."
