I want to clarify something. No one asked, but I forgot to mention it before. Back in anceint Egypt, we found out that Yami and Seto were cousins. They aren't in this fic because I don't like incest. Just wanted to make sure that was clear.

Enjoy!

Chapter 4- Underhanded Trick

~One Week Later~

Yugi had gotten up in the morning and headed downstairs. He knew that it would be a while before Atemu and Heba got up. He rather enjoyed having Atemu and Heba around.

Yugi walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. He picked up the remote and turned on the TV, starting to watch the news.

Yami had stayed at the Kaiba mansion the night before, so Yugi knew that he probably wouldn't be seeing Yami for a while that day.

There was a knock on the door.

"Hmm. I wonder who that could be." Yugi said to himself. He got up and went to the door, opening.

"Hi, Yugi!" three voices said.

Yugi starred wide-eyed before he smiled. "Ryou! Marik! Malik! What are you doing here?" Yugi asked.

Marik, Malik, and Ryou were all standing on the doorstep, smiling at Yugi.

"Well, we were in town so we thought that we would come by and see you." Malik said.

"Come on in, guys." Yugi said.

The three walked into the house, and Yugi shut the door.

"You haven't changed the place since we were last here, small fry." Marik said.

"Marik! Be nice!" Ryou scolded.

Marik shrugged. "What? I've always called him that." Marik said.

"Don't worry about it, Ryou. I'm used to the way Marik makes fun of my height." Yugi said.

"Or lack thereof." Marik said.

"Come on." Yugi said.

The four walked into the living room and sat down.

"What are you guys doing in Japan?" Yugi asked.

"My sister brought an exhibit for the Domino museum over, and she let us tag along. We'll be here for a few months." Malik said.

"Do you guys have a place to stay?" Yugi asked.

"Yep. We're staying at the Domino Plaza in one of the penthouse suites." Marik said.

"Wow. These are expensive." Yugi said.

"Yeah, but the museum's paying for them, so we don't mind." Malik said.

Ryou shook his head. "How have you been doing, Yugi?" Ryou asked.

"I'm fine. My twin brother, Heba, came over, and he's been here with his boyfriend, Atemu, for about a week. Oddly enough, Atemu is the reincarnation of Yami's older brother from ancient Egypt." Yugi said.

"Really?" Ryou asked.

Yugi nodded.

"So, Atemu's back." Malik said.

"You know about him?" Yugi asked.

"Only from the records my family has. We knew that Atemu was the Pharaoh before Yami, but Atemu died from a disease childless, so the throne went to Yami." Malik said.

"That's what they told me." Yugi said.

"So, is Yami still with Seto?" Marik asked.

"Yeah. They're together." Yugi said.

"What about you. You found anyone yet?" Marik asked.

Yugi grew kind of quiet. "I don't really want to talk about it." Yugi answered.

Ryou noticed Yugi's uneasiness. He looked at Marik and Malik and told them with his eyes to give them some time alone.

"Hey, Yugi. Would you mind if Marik and I got something to drink. We're kind of thirsty." Malik said.

"No problem. I can get it for you." Yugi said, starting to get up.

Marik waved him off. "We'll get it, small fry." Marik said.

The two Egyptians got up and headed to the kitchen.

"Yugi, did something happen with you?" Ryou asked.

"Why do you ask that, Ryou?" Yugi asked, turning to look at him.

Ryou smiled. "Yugi, you didn't want to talk about dating someone, and you acted like you it was upsetting you. I just wanted to know what was wrong." Ryou said.

Yugi looked at his albino friend and smiled. "I guess you could say that I had a bad experience." Yugi said.

"This guy wasn't abusive, was he?" Ryou asked, worried.

Yugi laughed. "No, Ryou. Nothing like that. Yami would have killed him by now if that had happened." Yugi said.

"Than what?" Ryou asked.

Yugi sighed. "I dated Bakura for a while." Yugi said.

"Bakura?! As in my Yami Bakura?" Ryou asked, shocked.

Yugi nodded. "Yeah. He asked me out, and I agreed. I thought that we were getting along great, but I found him cheating on me about a week ago, and he told me he never cared about me. He was just using dating me as a way to get under Yami's skin." Yugi answered.

Ryou's eyes softened on Yugi. "Oh. Yugi. I'm so sorry. I wish that I had known." Ryou said.

Yugi smiled at him. "You couldn't have done anything, Ryou. You were in Egypt. Besides, even if you had been here, you couldn't have controlled what happened." Yugi assured his friend.

"Maybe, but I could have at least warned you what Bakura would have been like." Ryou said.

Yugi blinked. "What do you mean? I mean, it's not like you dated him." Yugi said.

Ryou looked at Yugi a little guilty.

"You dated Bakura?" Yugi asked, surprised.

"Yes. Not one of the things that I'm proud of. Only Marik, Malik, Ishizu, and Odion even knew about us." Ryou said.

"Things didn't end so well for you, either, did they?" Yugi asked.

Ryou shook his head. "Like you, he cheated one me. I also found out that he only dated me so that he could have someone to screw when he didn't find someone at a bar. Marik and Malik tried to warn me about him, but I didn't listen. Things didn't end so well for me. When I finally faced the truth, I turned to Malik and Marik for help." Ryou said.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know." Yugi said.

Ryou smiled. "I ended up pregnant by him, too." Ryou said.

"You did?' Yugi asked, surprised.

Ryou nodded. "When I found out, I told Marik and Malik. They talked to Ishizu, and she let me start living with them in Egypt. It was while I was there that I found out I loved Marik and Malik. The three of us ended up falling for each other in the end." Ryou said.

"Did Bakura want you to have an abortion? Or did you not tell him?" Yugi asked.

"I told him, and he kept pushing me to get an abortion. I didn't want to. After Marik threatened him good, Bakura left me alone, not wanting to get too involved, but he did tell me he wanted nothing to do with the baby. I ended up having a little girl that we named Angel." Ryou said.

"We?" Yugi asked.

Ryou nodded. "Marik and Malik treat her like their own. She's almost two now. I wish I could have warned you what would happen with Bakura." Ryou said.

Yugi sighed. "I probably wouldn't have listened. Yami and I got into a fight when I started dating Bakura. Yami told me that Bakura would just hurt me in the end, and he was right. I might not have been hurt if I had listened to him." Yugi said.

"Well, at least you're not with him now." Ryou said.

"Yeah." Yugi said.

Ryou realized something. "How did you know that Bakura wanted me to have an abortion?" Ryou asked.

Yugi smiled sadly. "I'm pregnant by him, too. He's pushing me to have an abortion." Yugi said.

"I'm so sorry." Ryou said.

"I know." Yugi said.

"What are you going to do?" Ryou asked.

"I want to keep the baby, but I'm scared that Bakura's going to keep trying to push me to get an abortion." Yugi said.

"He will, but you just can't give in to him." Ryou said.

"I won't." Yugi said. He looked over Ryou curiously. "By the way, where's Angel now?" Yugi asked.

"Oh. Ishizu has her. Ishizu adapted well to the role of aunt." Ryou said.

Yugi nodded. He looked at Ryou and said, "Ryou, don't blame yourself for what happened. It was my own mistake." Yugi said.

"All right. If you need any help dealing with Bakura, just let us know. I'm sure that Marik would be happy to teach him a lesson again." Ryou said.

"Between Yami, Seto, and Atemu, I don't think that that will be necessary." Yugi said.

"Not necessary!"

The two jumped and turned to see Marik.

"Like hell it's not! I'm not going to let Bakura get away with what he's done! He needs to be taught that he can't play with people's emotions like this!" Marik growled.

Ryou glared at Marik and Malik. "You were eavesdropping!" Ryou growled.

"We were curious." Malik said.

"It's okay, Ryou. All the others know, so it doesn't matter." Yugi said.

"Okay." Ryou said.

"So, what are you going to do?" Malik asked as he and Marik sat back down.

Yugi sighed. "I want to keep the baby even if it's going to fun. I know that Yami's going to be willing to help me out, and so will Heba and Atemu." Yugi said.

'Not to mention the rich priest.' Marik thought, knowing how Yami and Seto felt about Yugi.

"Um. What's going on here?"

The four looked to see Heba and Atemu standing in the room.

"Oh. Heba, this is Ryou, Malik, and Marik. They're the friends from Egypt that I told you about. They're going to be here for a few months. Guys, this is Heba and Atemu." Yugi said.

"Hey. Nice to meet you." Marik said.

"Likewise. Yugi's told us a lot about you guys." Atemu said, feeling more at ease since he knew that these were the ones that were friends with Yugi.

The front door then opened.

"Anyone up?" Yami called.

Atemu rolled his eyes. "If we weren't, we would have been with you yelling!" Atemu retorted.

Yami walked into the room. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Yami said. He smirked and said, "Or is that from someone who went without any last night?"

Atemu glared. "One more word and I'm killing you." Atemu said.

Yami smiled. "I'd like to see you try." Yami said.

Yugi shook his head. "Well, since everyone's here, who's hungry?" Yugi asked.

"I am." everyone else answered.

"Well, might as well get busy." Yugi said, starting to get easy.

Ryou stopped him. "Yugi, let me cook." Ryou said.

"Well, you're the guest here." Yugi said.

"Let him!" Marik and Malik said at the same time.

"If you want to, Ryou, go ahead." Yugi said.

Ryou's eyes lit up. "Thanks!" Ryou said before dashing into the kitchen.

"What's with him?" Heba asked.

"Ry loves to cook. IN fact, he's the only one that cooks back in Egypt because he loves it." Malik said.

"Well, that, and he's a better cook than the rest of us." Marik said.

"It doesn't matter to me who cooks. Although I do it here." Yugi said.

"Why? Doesn't Yami cook?" Malik asked.

"I haven't let him cook since the last fiasco we had." Yugi said.

"What fiasco?" Heba asked.

Yami blushed. "Nothing." Yami muttered.

"Nothing? This I have got to hear." Atemu said.

"Let's just say that fire department came here, and we got a new kitchen." Yugi said.

Atemu and Marik burst out laughing.

"Oh, shut up!" Yami snapped.

"Th-that is s-so f-fu-funny!" Marik howled.

Yami glared at both of them.

"I think him not cooking is a good thing." Heba said.

"Seto does know about this, right?" Atemu asked.

"Yes. I gave him the heads up." Yugi answered.

Ryou had breakfast ready before long, and the group sat down in the kitchen to eat.

"Hmm. This is good, Ryou." Yugi said.

"Thanks." Ryou said.

"Geez. We tell you that all the time, and you don't pay attention to us." Marik grumbled.

"That's because you guys don't want to be cut off." Yami said.

Marik and Malik glared at him.

"He's right." Ryou stated.

The group finished up breakfast, and Atemu and Heba volunteered to do the dishes.

While Yugi, Yami, Marik, Malik, and Ryou were talking, the mail came.

"I'll go get the mail. Be right back." Yugi said.

"I'll go get it for you." Yami said.

"Nah. I'll be fine, Yami." Yugi said before leaving.

"So, how goes the plans to confess?" Marik asked once he saw sure Yugi was outside.

Yami glared. "Not right now. Seto and I want to give Yugi the time to recover from Bakura's actions." Yami said.

"Probably not a bad idea. He has really hurt Yugi." Ryou agreed.

Yugi returned a few moments later with the mail.

"What is it?" Yami asked.

"Bills." Yugi answered as he looked through it.

A moment later, the group heard the doorbell ring/

"I'll get it." Yugi said. He went to the door and found a man outside.

"Yugi Mutou?" the man asked.

Yugi nodded.

"Sign this." the man said.

Yugi signed it before taking the envelope. He then shut the door and opened it.

"What's that, Yugi?" Yami asked.

"Don't know yet." Yugi said. He started to read through the letter. An instant later, Yugi turned deathly pale.

"Yugi!" Yami exclaimed, getting up.

"Sit down!" Ryou said.

Yugi did sit down.

Marik took the paper and looked through them before he started to get angry.

"What happened?" Heba asked, running over to his brother.

Marik grabbed Yami and Atemu before dragging them into the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" Yami demanded.

"We need to talk." Marik said.

"Not now. Yugi needs me in there." Yami growled.

"Yami, this is about what's made Yugi so upset." Marik said.

"What is it?" Atemu asked.

"Bakura's up to his tricks again. He's suing Yugi for sole custody of the baby." Marik said.

"What?!" Yami growled, jerking the legal papers from Marik and looking at them.

"That son of a bitch! I'm going to kill him!" Atemu growled.

"All right. I'll be committing murder now." Yami said.

"Instead of that, you may want to call Kaiba and have him come down here with one of his lawyers. I think you're going to need his expertise in this. Besides, one of Kaiba's high priced lawyers could really damage Bakura." Marik said.

Yami nodded and took out his cell phone.

"I said not, Mokuba." Seto growled.

"Why can't I go to a simple party?" Mokuba asked as he glared at his brother.

Seto looked up from his desk. "Mokuba, there will be drinking and drugs at a party like that, and you know it." Seto said.

Mokuba groaned. "Seto, this is an adult supervised party." Mokuba said.

"No!" Seto said firmly.

Mokuba smirked. "You know, I could go and tell Yugi how you feel about him." Mokuba said.

Seto narrowed his eyes. "You wouldn't." Seto said.

"Try me, big brother." Mokuba retorted.

Seto sighed. "I'll talk to the parents of where the party is first. If I'm happy, then you can go." Seto said.

"Thanks!" Mokuba said.

Seto's cell phone rang.

Seto picked it up and said, "Hello?"

"Seto, I'm glad I got you!" Yami said.

"What is it, Yami?" Seto asked.

"Seto, I need you to come over to Yugi's place with one of your best lawyers right now!" Yami said.

From the sound of Yami's voice, Seto knew that Yami wasn't joking. "Yami, what is it? What's wrong?" Seto asked.

"Bakura's at it again. He's suing Yugi for sole custody of the baby!" Yami growled.

"He's what?! I'm going to murder him!" Seto shouted.

Mokuba looked at his brother worriedly.

"I know. Come down here now." Yami said.

"No problem." Seto said and hung up the phone.

"Seto, what's wrong?" Mokuba asked.

"That damned thief Bakura is suing Yugi for custody of the baby." Seto said.

"Why would he do that? I didn't think that he wanted the baby." Mokuba said.

"He doesn't. I don't know what his deal is, but he's not winning." Seto said. He dialed a number. "Nakamura. I want you to meet me at this address now. I'll explain later." Seto said. He gave Nakamura the address before getting up.

"Mokuba. Go home. I'll let you know what I find out." Seto said.

Mokuba nodded, and Seto left.

Yugi was rather upset about this. "Why is he doing this if he doesn't want the baby in the first place?" Yugi asked.

"Don't worry, Yugi. He won't." Heba said as he kept an arm around his brother.

"It doesn't make sense." Malik muttered.

"It's Bakura. Since when has anything that he's done made sense?" Atemu asked.

"I've called Seto. He's coming over here with one of his lawyers. They're going to help us." Yami said.

A few moments later, the doorbell rang.

Yami went and found Seto and Mokuba.

"Nakamura will be here soon." Seto said.

Yami nodded. "Good. We're going to need him for this." Yami said.

Seto nodded. "How's Yugi?" Seto asked.

"Upset, which is understandable given the circumstances." Yami answered as the two walked back toward the living room.

Seto was surprised to find Malik and Ryou there. "What are you two doing here?" Seto asked.

"We came to visit Yugi, and we were here when that court document came." Ryou answered.

"Marik's here, too, but I don't have a clue where he went. He left not too long ago." Malik said.

Seto noticed the court documents on the table and picked them up.

"Do you think that you can help?" Yugi asked.

"Don't worry. We're going to do everything we can." Seto said. 'Even if I have to kill him.' Seto thought.

Marik stalked down the street, pissed off. 'Hurting Yugi the way he did wasn't enough. He has to do this, too. I'm going to kill him.' Marik thought.

It wasn't hard for Marik to find Bakura.

Bakura stayed in the bad part of town moat of the time, causing trouble.

Marik soon came across Bakura torturing some man.

"Take that!" Bakura shouted, laughing manically.

Marik growled and grabbed Bakura before slamming him against the nearby wall.

"What the hell?!" Bakura exclaimed.

The man that Bakura had been torturing ran off.

"You lowlife son of a bitch! I can't believe that you would be so low as to do this! Hurting him wasn't enough! You had to do this!" Marik shouted.

Bakura shoved Marik off of him. "What are you ranting about, Marik?" Bakura demanded.

"I've seen Yugi, and I found out how you used him like a piece of trash just because you wanted to hurt Yami! You are a worthless piece of trash1 You don't want the baby, so why are you trying to get the baby?" Marik demanded.

"Please. I don't care about that bastard baby! I just want to get to the Pharaoh, and what better way than to hurt his Hikari? After all, it'll get to him when Yugi's hurt like this." Bakura said, smirking..

Marik glared. "You won't succeed." Marik spat.

"Like hell I won't!" Bakura growled.

"Trust me. You won't." Marik said.

"Ha! I'd like to see the twerp try and stop me." Bakura said.

"We'll see, but I wouldn't think that it's in the bag, Bakura. Far from it." Marik said. He turned to leave, but stopped before looking back at Bakura. "One other thing." Marik said.

Before Bakura could react, Marik had punched Bakura so hard in the face that Bakura sent him crashing back into the wall.

"Come near Yugi, and I can assure you that Yami will murder you." Marik said before stalking off.

Bakura wiped the blood from his mouth. 'It doesn't matter. The Pharaoh is going to watch his Hikari suffer with this!' Bakura thought.

Heba had taken Yugi upstairs so that he could lay down and calm down.

Nakamura had gotten there in that time.

"What do you think, Nakamura?" Seto asked.

"Well, it's legal, and if he is the father, then he has the right to do this." Nakamura said.

"He's the father. Yugi knows that for a fact." Yami said.

"Well, he has the right to try, but if I can prove that he is unfit or a danger to the child, then I could easily stop him from getting custody." Nakamura said.

"Then do it. This man doesn't need to get this child." Malik said.

"Why do you say that?" Nakamura asked.

"When Yugi told him about the baby, Bakura told Yugi to have an abortion. He then came here and started trying to coerce Yugi into having one. A few friends of his came here and forced Bakura to leave." Seto said.

"I see. Would these friends be willing to testify to that?" Nakamura asked.

"Without a doubt." Yami replied.

"I'll take these and get started." Nakamura said.

Seto nodded, and the lawyer left the house.

"Think that he can do it?" Atemu asked.

"Nakamura's one of the best. If anyone can stop this, he can." Seto said.

"What now?" Malik asked.

Marik walked into the house then.

"Where were you?" Ryou asked.

"I just went and gave Bakura a piece of my mind. I also gave him a nice bruise, too." Marik said.

"Good. I think he deserves it." Seto said.

Later, Yugi was cleaning downstairs. He was trying to keep busy.

The doorbell rang.

Yugi went and answered the door. "What are you doing here?" Yugi asked.

Bakura glared at him. "We can stop the whole court battle if you just give me custody of the brat." Bakura said.

"No! I am not just giving you a child that You don't even want for your own sick and twisted reasons." Yugi said.

Bakura grabbed Yugi roughly. "You'll do it, or else!" Bakura growled.

"Let go!" Yugi said, trying to get away, but Bakura's grip only tightened.

Before Bakura could say another word, he was slammed against the wall.

Atemu glared at him. "Leave here now!" Atemu snapped.

"Why should I?" Bakura challenged.

"Because I am going to kill you otherwise. Now get out!" Atemu shouted.

Bakura glared. "I'll leave, and I'll make sure that I win!" Bakura snapped before leaving.

Atemu turned to find Heba comforting Yugi. 'That's is. I'm calling Yami.' Atemu thought.

Yami and Seto had been stark raving mad when they found out what Bakura had done. They immediately went over to the game Shop.

"You didn't have to come." Yugi said.

"Yes, we did, Yugi. I am tired of him thinking that he can do this without having to face the consequences, and I'm not going to risk him hurting you again." Yami said.

"What can we do, though?" Atemu asked.

Seto thought and came to a conclusion. "Yugi, you're moving into the mansion." Seto said.

"Seto, I can't do that." Yugi said.

"Yes, you can, and you are. Bakura can't get to you in the mansion. You'll be safer there." Seto said.

"What about the shop?" Yugi asked.

"Well, Atemu and I were talking about staying out here a while longer. In fact, we're probably staying out here." Heba said.

"What?" was the collective response from the other three.

"Yeah. My dad's a businessman with a large company, and he's planning to put a new office out here, and I'm going to head it." Atemu said.

"It'll be a while before it's built, so we can keep the shop going. It would be better for you to move into the mansion." Heba said.

"Well, I don't know." Yugi said.

"Come on, Yugi. It'll be better for you." Yami said.

Yugi sighed, knowing that he wouldn't win against all four of them. "All right. I'll move into the mansion." Yugi said.

"Good. Let's get you packed and moved." Seto said.

Yugi had been completely moved into the mansion.

Since Yugi was going to be living in the mansion now, Yami moved in as well.

"This is so great! I'm glad that you guys are going to be living here!" Mokuba said happily.

Seto rolled his eyes. "Take it easy, Mokuba." Seto said.

"It'll be great to have people to hang out with me." Mokuba said.

"Let them get settled in before you decide to drag them off to play." Seto said.

"Well, the same goes to you for Yami." Mokuba said before taking off upstairs.

"MOKUBA!" Seto shouted.

"Well, he made a good point." Yugi said.

Yami groaned. "Stop that, would you?" Yami asked.

"Well, I'm going to get unpacked." Yugi said before heading upstairs.

"You think that you can stop Bakura from getting the baby?" Yami asked.

"I'll d everything I can." Seto answered as the two headed upstairs.

The two walked into Seto's room, which would be their room now. Yami was just moving into Seto's room.

"You know, maybe we can find a way to tell Yugi how we feel about him while he's here." Seto said.

"Maybe. We might need take it easy on him. He's going through a lot right now." Yami said.

"I know. We might be able to find a way, though." Seto said.

"Yeah. At least we know that he'll be safe while he's here." Yami said.

"Yeah. Plus, Dr. Reynolds doesn't live that far from here, and he can get here at a moment's notice. And we've got a medical facility in case we need it for anything. Given that Yugi is pregnant, that's a good thing." Seto said.

"Yeah. I just hope that Yugi doesn't end up needing it." Yami said.

"Me and you both." Seto replied.

Hope you liked it. Who wants to kill Bakura now?

Next: Something bad happens.

R&R.
