DeathsIllusion-Yay, I surprised you! Sorry, I can't even tell you which of your guesses is closer, but don't worry, you'll know in the next chapter unless you only pretend to read this XP

journey maker-Nope. No one ever did. Can't tell you if your guess is right or wrong though.

HikariSapphire-Don't worry. I wouldn't have expected you to know. I can't tell you about the plot though. That's a secrect :)

dragonlady222-Correct! You didn't look that up first, did you? Anywho, glad you like this (so far)

shadowofmyself-Yeah, kind of. That was the second best guess

Chapter 2

Bakura groaned as he realized it. 'It' had started again. His cursed period that he'd have to put up with for who knew how many months. Ryou hadn't told him, just said it would stop after a while. This was the third time. He remembered being stupid enough to think it was all over at the end of his first period. That was a looooooooooong time ago.

This wasn't right. It ought to be Ryou going through this, and everything that had happened to him the past year too. He was the one who was supposed to take that stupid potion.

Knowing he shouldn't think that about his lover Bakura went into the shelf behind the mirror and pulled out a pad which he grudgingly stuck on his underwear. Only X many more months of this before he was completely free of all the things that evil mug of hot chocolate had brought him.

"Ryou" he called

"Shush! You'll wake Rain up"

"I'm going out" Bakura whispered "I'll be back by tonight. 'Kay?"

Ryou nodded "I'll take care of Rain while your gone" Ryou took care of Rain regardless of whether Bakura was gone or not. He had a much better understanding of what he was doing, but Bakura was learning.

Bakura had also learned his way around Domino soon after he'd given birth. And he'd made a new tradition with the coming of his monthly bleeding. Go drink himself half to death each time it started.

To his disgust Marik was at his favorite bar (he had to go out for alcohol since Ryou couldn't stand the stuff in the apartment) He shook his heading deciding to ignore his friend's yami and just get a drink. Unfortunately Marik, still determined to win Bakura over, wasn't going to ignore the one person he'd ever had feelings for.

Bakura attempted to clear his mind of Marik by drinking more than he'd planed.

SC

"Where were you?" Panic and anger were both obvious in Ryou's voice. He was practically screaming. Rain was crying in the other room "I had no idea where you were all night! Do you have any idea how many people I called asking about you? Do you? God, what on earth is so important that you can just leave like that?"

Bakura rubbed his forehead, he had an awful hangover and wished Ryou would speak much quieter "I guess I passed out last night or something…"

"Or something?!" Ryou pulled a key out and locked the front door. Bakura grimaced, remembering that action from early in his pregnancy when he'd gotten lost and wound up at Yugi's. Ryou was locking him up inside again. "Think before you act" Ryou hissed then went to calm Rain down.

Bakura sighed. He was in for it now. Who knew how long Ryou would keep him locked up this time?
