Chapter 38

--Ω∞Ω-- Ten Years Later --Ω∞Ω--

12 kids were running around together in their half daemons half human form, except for Abasi, Aiko and Zinan. They stayed in that form for ever and couldn't change it. After the age of 5 the children were able to change their form to however they liked it, like their parents.

Ryou had given birth to eight pups four Akefia's and four Bakura's though one of Bakura's looked exactly like him in a way. The first four were from Bakura. The first born was a girl who they names Ai, the second a boy named Haru, the third was also a boy named Hiroshi and the last baby that was of Bakura's was a girl who looked similar to Ryou was named Ryoko. The last four were from Akefia. The first was a baby boy who was named Fineas, the second a baby girl named Aziza, the third was a boy named Zahur and the last was also a boy named Maahes. Ryou had also been so exhausted that he'd passed out as well before waking up and meeting his children. They had to move the mattress down onto the floor and had the fence that was built during the time before the birth.

At the moment the children were playing tag around the castle gardens. They were having such a good time while their male mothers were watching. Their fathers were dealing with the problems that were being brought up with the council. Ryou, Yugi and Malik smiled as their kids ran around laughing as they ran away from each other. But there was one thing that would ruin their fun.

A loud alarm went off around the castle that caused the kids to stop playing, confused, while their parents hurried over.

"Come on kids we need to go to the throne room."

The kids followed after Ryou and Yugi who ran a head and Malik ran off behind them to make sure everyone was there. Ryou and Yugi pushed the throne room doors open and hurried in with the kids behind. Yugi, Ryou and Malik ran to their mates.

"What's going on?"

"There's an attack on the castle. Go to the room where Malik had his child. Stay there till we come for you and telling you it's safe. Don't let any of you get hurt." Atemu said and took Yugi by the waist and pulled him to him and kissed him gently.

"Eww mummy, daddy!" Their kids said.

Yugi cupped his face in his hands and looked at him. "You both come back safe...please."

"We will don't worry."

Yugi felt arms wrap around behind him and a head moved next to his. "You just look after our children and we'll deal with what's going on outside. You make sure you look after everyone ok?"

Yugi turned around in his arms and wrapped his arms around Yami's neck. "I will, you both just come home safe."

Yami smiled and kissed him gently causing their children to whine again. Yugi pulled back and laughed softly along with Yami and Atemu. Ryou, Bakura and Akefia were talking along with Marik and Malik.

"Let's get you guys in there before we head off." Atemu said.

Everyone one left and Atemu, Yami and Yugi lifted their children into their arms seeing them scared. Akefia and Bakura had 3 of their children on their backs as they changed into wolves and Ryou carried the last two on his backs. Marik carried his child with Malik walking next to him.

"Get the army ready now." Atemu said before he left the room completely.

--Ω∞Ω--

As they entered the room they walked to the far corner before placing the children there. The mates turned near the door before they said goodbye and Atemu, Yami, Bakura, Akefia and Marik left. Yugi, Ryou and Malik turned back to their children who looked very scared before they hurried back over and sat down.

There was a knock at the door before Bakura and Yami brought enough food in to last one week before leaving again. Yugi, Ryou and Malik had their children lying up against them trying to seek comfort from them.

"Malik how long do you think this will last?" Ryou asked.

"I really don't know. Hopefully not long."

"Yeah." Yugi sighed.

"Mummy I'm scared." Aiko said looking at him.

"Shh, it's alright. We'll be alright and so will your daddy's."

Ryou turned to his children before standing up and changing into his wolf form and laying back down. The children did the same and curled up around him. Ryou sighed softly before going to sleep. Malik laid down and held his boy in his arms letting him sleep. Yugi sat against the wall with the boys on either side of him and the girl sitting in his lap.

"Get some sleep."

--Ω∞Ω--

They had spend two days in the room with no knowledge of what was going on outside. The kids hadn't been playing for certain reason as to keep as quiet as possible. Though it was hard they were able to do so. At the moment they were eating lunch when the door open and instantly Malik changed and stood in front of the group snarling.

Four daemons with medical uniforms came in carrying two stretchers. As soon as Malik saw who were on them he stopped growling and changed back to his human form. Yugi and Ryou walked forward next to Malik before gasping and running over.

Bakura and Yami were there laying on the stretches with large scratches on them that were covered with bandages. Both at the moment were unconscious and some of the injuries were still bleeding a little. Malik walked over and held the two back so the daemons could put them on the floor in the corner before he let Ryou and Yugi go and they ran over.

Ryou and Yugi dropped to their knees next to their mates. They leaned against the wall and placed their mates head in their lap gently and ran their hand through their hair. Yami groaned softly and slowly opened his eyes and saw Yugi looking down at him, tears were gathering up in his eyes. Yugi leaned down and kissed him gently on the lips as his tears fell from his eyes now.

"I'm ok Yugi."

"No you're not. Neither of you are."

Yami slowly pushed himself up, wincing at the pain in his injuries. Yugi panicked and grabbed his shoulders holding on to him and pulled him back to lie down.

"Don't get up."

"Yugi..."

"Your injured you have to relax Yami."

Yami sighed and pushed himself up a little and laid his head on Yugi's shoulder. Yugi smiled and wrapped his arms around him. Yami smiled and looked over to where the kids were and waved his children over seeing them worried. The children ran over and knelt down next to him.

"You ok?" Zinan asked.

"I'm fine don't worry."

Yugi smiled and buried his face in his neck. Yami looked over at him a little and sighed softly and turned his head a little and kissed his cheek. Yugi looked up at him and smiled sadly.

"Kids get some sleep ok." Yugi said softly.

The kids moved back over to Malik and stayed there to give their parents room. Yugi laid his head on top of Yami's and held him gently.

"Yugi please just calm down a little."

"I'll try."

Yami smiled and turned slightly and buried his face in the crook of Yugi's neck. Yugi looked down at him before replacing his head on Yami's.

--Ω∞Ω--

Ryou lay against two walls, using the corner to keep himself up. Bakura was pulled up to lay in between his legs and his head on his shoulder. Ryou looked down at him, he was still unconscious and it just made Ryou worry more.

Their children all came over and changed to their wolf form and curled up around them before going to sleep. Ryou sadly looked at them before resting his head on Bakura's. Ryou heard a soft groan and pulled his head away and looked down at him to find him waking up. Ryou smiled and hugged Bakura a little tighter, nearly crying.

"Huh?... Ryou?"

"Yeah I'm here. Don't move you're hurt."

"Where am I?"

"In the room that Malik use when he was laying on his egg."

"Oh ok."

"You remember yes?"

"Yes of course. There's a battle outside the castle. Me and Yami got caught on the outside of an explosion. Don't remember waking up after that. I'm guessing I've been unconscious since then."

"Yeah since they brought you to us."

"Shh I'll be fine in a day or two."

"Oh Bakura." Ryou buried his face in Bakura's neck. "I was scared."

"Shh shh get's some sleep Ryou. You're tired."

Ryou sniffed and nodded. "You too."

"I will."
