Chapter 20: An unexpected twist.

Author's note: This and the next few chapters sum up the rest of the series, and also the last chapter shows the life after the show for everyone. That is… including the gang not just Clare.

Over the next few weeks, Kaiba became very busy, but Clare still stayed in the mansion. She was a little worried, because she did the math in her brain, and she only had sex with Seto not even a full week after she found out she got pregnant. She went to a doctor, and she was surprised to find out she was already two months pregnant.

"That's impossible!" she said to the mirror talking to Miercoln is able to come out now that Clare almost won against Yami.

"no it's not…" she said sadly. "I couldn't know if Seto was the father or if someone else was…"

"You mean… no… HELL NO! Not Fabian…" Clare said now sitting down on her bed beginning to cry.

"Clare, don't worry about a thing. Seto knows you love him, and he knows what his brother has done to you all that time. He'll love you no matter what…"

"I know…" Clare said wiping a tear away. She than snickered. "I still can't believe we're talking about Seto Kaiba…"

Miercoln grinned as well. "I know, but at least you helped him. He may still be into his work more than anything, but his social ability has become better."

"I know…"

"Clare, is that you?" Seto's voice came from the hall.

"I'll let you two alone."

"Alright." Clare said taking off the arm band. "Hello Seto."

"What's the matter?" Seto said taking off his necklace as well.

"Seto, you need to know something."

"What? What is it?" he asked her sitting down looking concerned.

"I need to tell you what happened when I was captured by Dartz."

"Alright, I'm listening."

"Well, you see, when Fabian took me, he had a plan. He wanted to have his way with me…"

"You mean he…"

"He raped me…"

"That's it, I should have killed him…"

"It's alright Seto… It's all over now. But the child I'm carrying is not yours but his." Clare said starting to cry on Seto's sholder.

"It's alright." He said holding her tight. "I'm here, and I'll take care of you, and raise your child as our own." He said now kissing her and than her stomach where the baby would be.

"Thankyou." She said and than they were ready for bed.

A few nights later, Clare realized that since Yugi was going to Egypt the next day, she knew that Bakura was making an appearance. She got up while Seto was still working, and grabbed her arm band, in which a furious Miercoln ran out and tried to find where Yugi was. She found him running toward an ally, and than stayed quiet. Before Bakura could finish his monolouge about saying he remembers his past, Miercoln couldn't stand it anymore.

"That's enough Thief!" she said coming from behind.

"Miercoln?" Yami said surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Stopping this idiot from messing everything up…"

"And I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen." Fabian said coming from Bakura's direction.

"What the bloody hell are you doing here?"

"Bakura granted me power… he lets me take over the rod, and he takes the ring. By the way, if you didn't know, I don't really exist in this world. I'm a spirit in of itself."

"You're an idiot, how am I supposed to believe all that?"

"Because I'm not the one who sent got you killed. I simply wanted to kill Seth. He was the one to stop me, and get you killed." Bakura said rather suddenly.

"Than why don't I remember you?" Miercoln asked angrily.

"Because, I'm Bakura's twin brother," he said using a special spell to reveal that he looked just like Thief Bakura. "he's just a thief, but I'm a master of disguises." He said now in an english accent, and an evil look. Bakura on the other hand, seemed a little annoyed.

"That's enough brother." He said impatiently. "We must leave now…" he said pushing him out of the ally.

Miercoln suddenly fell to her knees and cried. "NO… I had it all made up… Fabian was NOTHING… NOTHING…"

Suddenly, Yugi changed and went to comfort Miercoln.

"It will be alright Miercoln…"

"I know that Yugi… but I feel like I'm failing the Pharoah…"

"You aren't failing me…" Yami said once again changed. " You've done everything you know, and there was a change in plan that's all. I promise nothing will happen to you."

"I know… SETO!!!!" she said suddenly and ran back to the mansion leaving a perplexed Pharoah.

Miercoln turned into Clare at a puddle and told her to stop Bakura, however not telling her about the news she found out. Clare ran to the mansion, and took the elevator to the top, however, it stoped on the floor that Seto worked on. The door opened, and Seto walked in.

"Clare? What are you doing here?"

"Bakura… Fabian… long story…" she said out of breath. "I've come to watch you duel Bakura and make sure nothing funny happens…"

"Um… ok… Mokuba's fine right?"

"Of coarse he is…" Clare siad reassuring him, however she didn't really have to mention how bad the shadow realm was…

When they reached the top, they found Mokuba passed out, and not just Bakura, but Fabian as well.

"Fabian you ass hole!..." Clare said about to attack him, but Seto held her back.

"I can handle him…."

"No, Miercoln told me the truth about him! He only made it so you were his brother as a ruse to get a hold of the milleneum rod, find his REAL brother, and help destroy the world…"

"well… my love seems to be catching on real fast isn't she?" bakura grinned.

"She's not your 'love'" Seth said suddenly.

"Aw. Touched a nerve have I?" Bakura scoffed.

"Leave Seth alone!" Clare said clearly pissed at Bakura. "I can't believe I dated you… or him… or whatever…" she added.

"He's too weak to keep you." Fabian said suddenly. "And by the way, I only pretended to love you so that I would gain your trust. But obviously it didn't work."

"I promised Miercoln I would protect her…" Seth said now standing in front of Clare. "And now that she's with child, I will protect her to make up for my mistakes."

"With child?" Fabian said perplexed. "Seto really gets around doesn't he?"

"It's not Seto's idiot!" Clare yelled at him. "It's yours."

"Really?" Fabian said unphased. "Than the little bastard should be great someday…"

"Oh stop being so full of yourself." Seto said suddenly. "You will never lay a hand on my fiance, and you will never touch OUR child. Do you understand me?"

"Seto, Seto, Seto… You don't understand do you?" he said suddenly turning into Bakura's twin who was shorter and had a softer voice. "I am not human. I am a god. After Atem was Pharoah, I took over Egypt. Of coarse that isn't what happened in the show, but obviously this is a different story. In vengence for my brother, I took over and acted as a nice, gentle, kind pharoah, but I was the one who Master Dartz was talking about. I caused Egypt to fall. And why do you ask? I wanted to leave my spirit behind in this yellow fabrick, that became a jacket. Fabian, your brother came about this jacket and bought it. A few months later he met Clare. He dated her, and than I took over one day and had relations with a fellow student of hers. She seemed devistated, but I didn't care much.

" however, Fabian was devistated as well. He wondered why Clare was upset with him. He loved her so much, and I screwed it up for him. He yelled at himself in the mirror like the pathetic boy he was… I talked to him than. I challenged him to a shadow duel. If he won, time would change to where it was, and if I won, he would go to the shadow realm and I would take over his body forever. Obviously I won, and I finally had a host. I wear this yellow jacket all the time to remind me that I am just a host. Now, does that confuse anyone? Or should I recite it again?"

"No, you made perfect sense…" Seto said annoyed.

"Are you gonna duel or what?" Clare said roughly to Bakura. After that the same things happened, only "Fabian" and Clare dueled as well. Finally it was morning again, and Seto got the jet ready, because he was the one that was going to fly them all to Egypt.
