Inu: "I keep forgetting but this time I remembered!"

Heba: Rolls eyes "Tenshi means Angel."

Inu: "HEY! I was gunna say that!" Cries.

Heba: "Oh get over it and move on with the story."

Chapter 4- I'm a what!

Yami was shocked. He looked at them like they were crazy.

"I'm a—are you—what-" Yami stuttered, not sure what to say.

Heba sighed. "It's true Yami."

Yami took in a deep breath. "Since when? Why didn't Yugi tell me?"

Atemu tried to yell at him but Heba held his hand up to stop him.

Heba looked Yami in the eyes. "How! Well... do you remember the week before you broke my brother's heart?"

Yami gulped… "Yes… why?"

"Do you still remember how he felt that week?" Heba asked.

"He kept saying he didn't feel well." Then the realization hit Yami. "Oh Ra!" His eyes grew wide. "He was pregnant!"

Heba nodded and Atemu sighed.

"What are you going to do now, Yami?" Atemu asked.

Yami looked down. "I don't know. I want to make up to Yugi so bad."

Then Yami looked at Atemu. "Tell me about Kairi."

Heba smiled. "She has Yugi's innocent eyes but your eye color. She has both your hair but your crimson tips and it goes to her mid back. She definitely has Yugi's height and personality. She is so fun loving and kind hearted."

Yami smiled and looked at Atemu and Heba. "Will I get to meet her?"

Atemu shook his head. "That's Yugi's decision not ours."

Heba glared. "However , when Yugi asked her if she wants to meet you she said no and started to cry."

Yami stared wide eyed at him. "Why?"

"Because every time she asks about you, Yugi cries or gets upset. She realized you cause him pain." Heba said.

Yami put his head in his hands. "What am I going to do now?"

Then Heba and Atemu stood up.

"That's for you to decide. We're going home." Atemu turned to Heba and took his hand. "Come on Heba."

Yami went to the room that Seto gave him and collapsed on the bed crying. 'What have I done!'

~Game Shop~

Yugi was trying to keep up with the costumers. Since it was the afternoon rush, the shop was full of customers. Oh how Yugi hated Mondays!

'At this rate, I won't get Kairi on time.' Yugi pulled out his phone and dialed Joey's number.

"Joey." Joey answered

"Jou, its Yugi. I need a favor."

"I'm always glad to help out my best bud. What's the favor, Yug'?"

Yugi smiled. "Can you go and pick up Kairi for me? I'm fully loaded with customers right now."

"Monday rush?"

"Unfortunately." Yugi sighed and helped another customer.

"No problem, Yug.' I'll bring her to the shop for you."

"Thanks Jou."

Yugi hung up and went back to assist and helping customers.

After a few minutes, the shop's door opened and Kairi ran in. Yugi was helping the last customer.

"Papa I'm home!" Kairi called running to Yugi.

Yugi looked at her. "Welcome home Kairi. How was your last day of school?"

"Great! We had a party!" She beamed.

Yugi giggled. "Ready for the summer break?"

She nodded. "And don't forget my birthday papa."

Yugi nodded and picked her up. "Like I would forget my daughter's own birthday."

Joey looked at Yugi. "When is her birthday?"

"Tomorrow, June 15." Yugi said.

"I will be six!" Kairi said holding up six fingers.

Joey nodded. "What are you planning on her birthday?"

"I want to have a party at Heba and Atemu's house with all our friends." Yugi said.

"Heba and Atemu already agreed to it and I already invited everyone but you and Seto. I was going to do that today. That would be the reason I asked you to pick Kairi up instead of Heba." Yugi explained.

Joey nodded and started walking to the shop's door. "Okay. I will let Seto know."

Yugi nodded.

"Papa, what's for dinner?" Kairi asked.

Yugi looked at her. "Wanna' go out for dinner?"

Kairi nodded. "Friendly's?"

Yugi nodded and put her down. "Go get changed."

After a few moments Kairi ran down stairs. She was wearing a dark purple skirt, a black shirt with the image of the Eye of Horus and a locket. The locket was in the shape of a duel monsters card and was given to her by Yugi with his picture in it.

Kairi put on her black boots as Yugi approaches her. Yugi was dressed in dark blue jeans, a black leather shirt and boots with a neck belt on his neck and wrists.

"Ready to go?" Yugi asked.

She nodded and they left.

"Papa?" Kairi said.

"Yes, Kairi?"

"Is daddy going to the party?" She asked.

Yugi's hands tightened on the steering wheel.

"I don't know Kairi."

"Are you going to invite him?"

"Do you want me to?"

"No."

Yugi smiled. "Then I won't."

Yugi pulled into the driveway of Friendly's.

They got out, went inside the restaurant and sat at a table.

Yugi looked at Kairi. "You sure you don't want to meet your father?"

She nodded.

"Why Kairi?" Yugi asked.

"I don't want him to cause you pain." She whispered.

Yugi sighed. "Alright. If that's what you wish."

The waitress approached them. "Hello. My name is Chelsea. I'll be your waitress this evening." Chelsea said.

Yugi smiled. "Can I have a Dr. Pepper with cheeseburger and fries?" Chelsea nodded and turned to Kairi.

"Um… Can I have some milk and macaroni and cheese?" Chelsea nodded again and wrote the orders down.

"I will be back with your drinks but the food will take a few minutes." She said and walked away.

"Yugi?"

Yugi turned to the one who was calling his name. "Seto? What are you doing here?"

Seto walked walk towards them and sat next to Kairi. He was dressed in his normal long white sleeveless KaibaCorp coat and studded collar with a black long sleeved shirt. He has extra belts in pairs strapped around his upper arms and shins.

"The puppy called me out here to have dinner with him." Seto said.

Yugi nodded as Joey walked in. "Oh hey Yug'. Didn't know you were planning to eat here too."

Joey was dressed in light blue jeans, a green shirt and a jean jacket.

"Sit down with us Joey. It will make things easier." Yugi said as Joey sat next to him.

Chelsea came back with the drinks. She set them down and pulled out her notebook "I see we have more guests." She smiled. "Hello my name is Chelsea and I'll be your waitress this evening. What can I get you, gentlemen?"

"Be careful Joey. You might just order the whole menu." Seto said smirking.

Joey glared at Seto and looked at Chelsea. "Can I have a root beer and the chicken nuggets with fries?"

Chelsea wrote it down and turned to Seto. "Same thing."

She nodded and wrote it down. "I'll be back with your drinks in a second, and the food will take a few minutes." She said and left.

Yugi looked at Seto. "Joey was supposed to ask you but since you are here, I will. We're having a birthday party at the Sennen mansion. Will you be able tocome?"

Seto nodded. "Sure."

Chelsea came back with the drinks and put them down and left to get the orders.

"Yugi, are you going to invite Yami?" Seto asked.

"Kairi doesn't want me to." Yugi said.

Seto turned to Kairi. "Do you want me to invite Yami?"

Kairi shook her head.

Seto sighed. "Yami had the right to meet his daughter, Yugi."

"You don't think I know that." Yugi looked at Seto. "I gave him the chance. I sent him a letter that includes everyway to contact me but he never did."

Seto sighed. "That's just it, Yugi. He never got the letter."

Yugi's eyes grew wide. "W-what but I… doesn't he know about Kairi?"

Seto shook his head. "Not until today when Heba told him about her."

Yugi took a deep breath. "I bet Anzu destroyed the letter to keep Yami with her."

"I wouldn't put it against her." Joey said. "She was always obsessed with Yami."

"Who is Anzu?" Kairi asked.

Yugi took a deep breath and looked at Kairi. "Anzu was my childhood friend. She went to America 5 years ago."

"Why did she leave?" Kairi asked.

"To pursue her career in dancing." Seto answered.

"What do you want for your birthday, Kairi?" Joey asked hoping to change the subject.

Kairi thought for a moment. "Nothing." She said.

"Nothing!" Joey asked shocked.

Yugi smiled. "She's too much like me, afraid to ask for anything."

Chelsea came back and set the food down. "Do you need anything else?"

"No, we're good." Yugi said. Chelsea nodded and left.

"Kairi, are you sure you don't want anything? You know even if you don't tell me, I will get you something anyway." Yugi said.

Kairi thought again. "Well… I want a new dress for my graduation at school."

Yugi smiled. "Okay. I will think about it."

Kairi beamed and started to eat.

Once they were done, they started to leave but Yugi pulled Seto aside. "Seto, I want to talk to Yami alone. Can you tell him to give me a call later?"

Seto nodded. "Fine but I'm not a messenger."

Yugi chuckled. "Thanks."

And they parted ways.

At home, Yugi and Kairi sat in the living room.

"So Kairi, tomorrow is the beginning of summer break and your birthday, do you want to do something?" Yugi asked.

Kairi smiled. "Can we go to the beach before the party?"

Yugi smiled and nodded. "Yup. Do you want everyone to come with us to the beach?"

Kairi nodded.

"Alright. Go and get ready for bed. I'll call your Uncle Heba and let him know."

Kairi jumped off the couch and ran upstairs. Yugi got up and went to the phone.

After calling Heba, Yugi texted Ryou, Malik and Joey about the trip and told them to come and also bring their lovers with them.

He also called Jii-Chan to make sure he would be back in time for Kairi's party.

~Kaiba Mansion~

"Yugi wants me to call him? Are you sure?" Yami asked Seto who was standing in the door way of his bedroom.

Seto nodded. "Listen. Tomorrow is Kairi's birthday. I think he wants to talk to you about that."

Yami's eyes widened. "How old is she?"

"Six." Seto answered.

Yami sighed. "I've missed so much."

"What else did you expect? Yami you left Yugi for 6 years now to raise your daughter alone."

"But I didn't even know he was pregnant!" Yami defended.

"Maybe but you also cheated and left him. Or did that little fact skip your mind?" Seto said then turned to leave "Look I'm not here to argue with you. I just deliver the messages. Call Yugi, Yami. I put his number in the phone I gave you."

Yami nodded and picked up the phone.

He stared at it for a few minutes. 'Can we work this out? I hope so. I want to be a part of my family's life.'

Yami dialed Yugi's number and put the phone to his ear.

~Game Shop~

Yugi was lying on his bed when his phone went off. Yugi rolled over and picked it up.

"Yugi Moto." Yugi answered.

"Yugi? It's Yami." Yami answered.

Yugi felt butterflies in his stomach. He sat up "Hello Yami."

"Seto said you want to talk to me?" Yami questioned.

"Yes. That's right. But I would rather do it in person. I know it's late but can I ask you where do you want to meet? Do you want in the park or in our soul room's hallway?"

Yami was quiet for a moment. "How about in the park? It would be really nice to see you in person."

Yugi agreed and called Heba over to watch Kairi.

"You sure about this, Yugi?" Heba asked as he walked inside the house.

"Heba, he didn't know about Kairi. This is something I have to do." Yugi said putting on his coat and boots.

"If you're sure about it, I won't stop you. Please, just be careful." Heba said.

Yugi nodded. "Don't worry. I'm not ready to let him back into my life that easily. By the way, Jii-Chan is going to be back tomorrow in time for Kairi's birthday party. He said he is going to meet us all at your house."

Heba nodded. "In that case I think I'm going to use his room tonight."

Yugi nodded. "I'll be back soon."

Yugi left and headed to the park. When he entered the park, he saw Yami sitting on a park bench. He took a deep breath and walked towards him.

"Yami." Yugi called.

Yami looked at him and smiled. "Hello Yugi. Good to see you again."

Yugi didn't smile back. He stood in front of Yami. "Why did you come back?" He asked.

Yami lowered his head. "I miss you, Yugi. Why else?"

Yugi shifted his weight to his left foot and sighed. "What happened to Anzu?"

"Same thing that happened 5 years ago."

Yugi's eyes widened. "She cheated on you!" It was more of a statement than a question.

Yami nodded. "With Duke of all people."

"I always thought Duke had a thing for Tristan?"

"So did I."

Despite the tension, they both shared a laugh. Then Yugi sighed and sat next to Yami.

"You know about Kairi?" Yugi asked.

Yami nodded. "Yes. Heba and Atemu told me. Yugi I am so sorry. I had no idea."

Yugi nodded. "I know. Seto already informed me."

"I heard her birthday is tomorrow." Yami said looking at Yugi.

Yugi nodded still looking down. "Yes. She is going to be six."

Yugi sighed again. "Yami this is why I called you here."

Yami looked confused.

"We're going to the beach tomorrow before we have the party at the Sennen Mansion." Yugi said as he looked at Yami. "I believe you have the right to spend some time with you daughter so I'm inviting you to come."

Yami was shocked. "I was told she didn't want to meet me."

Yugi nodded. "That's true but that's partly my fault."

Yami shook his head. "No. Heba told me why and that's not your fault. It's mine."

Yugi stood up and looked at the ground. "I should have had better control over my emotions when she asked about you."

Yami stood as well. "Yugi, I am sorry."

Yugi nodded. "Forget it, Yami. It's already in the past. Right now, Kairi is our future and my top priority."

"Yugi, I want you back." Yami said looking at him.

Yugi snapped his head to Yami. "W-what?"

"I realized that I made a huge mistake all those years ago, and I want you back." Yami said again.

Yugi shook his head and backed away. "N-No. I-I can't. You hurt me so much. I can't trust you."

Yami was hurt but he understood. "Can we try to make this work? Maybe as friends for now."

Yugi nodded. "We have to, for Kairi's sake."

Yugi looked into Yami's eyes. "One more thing, after Kairi's birthday, the next day is her graduation from pre-school. Since you're her other parent, I think it's only right if you go with me."

Yami nodded. "I would be honored."

"I have to go home now. Goodnight Yami." Yugi said.

"Goodnight Yugi."

Yami and Yugi then parted ways.
