Note: I'm sorry it took me so long to post another chapter. It should
really by all rights have been sent in sooner because I tried to send a
chapter in at school but it wouldn't let me. Guess it didn't like the
chapter. But, at long last, here comes chapter 13. I suppose I might
reveal the child's name in the story starting now....I'm finally not
grounded!
The Dark Side: Victims Ye Be Warned
"Feeling better today, Yoh?" asked one girl in the class as Yoh walked
into the class the next day.
"Yeah." Yoh said. "Much better."
"Much? Cool. That's good to know." the girl said as Yoh sat down
where he usually did. "You looked really sick just yesterday."
"I Felt that way." Yoh muttered.
Manta jumped up onto the desk by Yoh and kissed him on the lips.
"Hey." he said softly.
Yoh closed his eyes as he felt his shorter friend's lips brush his and
smiled as they pulled apart quickly, re-opening his eyes. "Hey." he
sighed.
"You feeling better love? I'm sorry that you felt too sick to stay
with me last night."
Yoh laid his head forward so that his forehead was against Manta's and
their noses were barely touching. "Much better. But it had better not
happen again." he replied.
The teacher walked in the room as Yoh yawned and put his arms around
Manta, pulling him closely. "You're going to be my pillow." Yoh
mumbled.
"Class, if you will please, take your seats. Since Asakura was so sick
yesterday, we didn't get to complete our Egyptian lesson as planned.
So, we'll continue today." the teacher said.
"Oh joy." Yoh mumbled to himself. Manta sniggered.
As the teacher reached into his desk, he recoiled his hand quickly with
a loud yelp of pain, dripping blood on the desk from his hand.
"What in the name of-" the teacher grumbled.
The whole class gasped as the teacher pulled out a dagger with the
words 'Sasi D. Ak.' written on it in Egyptian, blood spelling out the
words "All of Egyptian decent here shall die within the fortyear."
across the blade in blood.
Manta put Yoh's head back down agianst his chest protectively.
"Nobody's going to hurt you or our baby." Manta whispered to his lover
reassuringly.
Their teacher's hands shook as he put the dagger down and pointed to
the door. "Ev- everyone out." he said in a barely audible whisper.
"Go- go home."
More than willing to comply the class silently filed out.
Yoh looked down at his stomach as Manta looked up at him, putting his
arm over his stomach gently, his other arm down by his side.
Manta frowned as he saw the look of true worry and anxiety spread
across Yoh's face.
"Manta." Yoh whispered.
"Yeah, Yoh-bunny?"
"We're going to be safe. Aren't we?"
The furrow of Yoh's brow and frown on his face made Manta frown. "Of
course we are." he replied. "I won't let anything happen to you or our
child. I promise you that."
"Don't let yourself get hurt, either."
As Yoh said this, the recollection of Kaki-Ri and himself on their way
to get a doctor a while back entered his mind.
'From just his atmosphere, I can tell he would do anything it takes to
keep you safe from harm.' Kaki-Ri had said.
Manta frowned. +Would he really be willing to get hurt for me? Even
while he's carrying that child?+ he thought. +I can't let him get hurt
but he'd do anything to keep me from getting hurt, then I can't protect
him, because he'd try to protect me.+
"Manta?" Yoh's voice broke through.
"What?- Oh- sorry Yoh. I was just doing some thinking." Manta said.
"Do you mind if, I just stay home for a few days?"
"Of course not. It would most likely be safer. Take a week off and
I'll stay with you to make sure you'll be safe."
"You don't need to."
"But I'm going to. I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Thanks, Manta."
"Come on. Let's get going now."
Yoh picked Manta up gently and kissed him on the cheek. As they exited
the school, Manta put one handon Yoh's stomach and patted it. "Hello
there. I'll be your daddy."
Yoh smiled at Manta as they headed home, neither one knowing what would
happen next.
