A Little Precious

I do not own Yu-Go-Oh!, or anything else related to it.

Actually, I don't really own much of anything, so please don't sue me!!!

~~~~~Two Months Later~~~~~


"Yugi, are you sure you're all right?" Yami asked as Yugi moaned, rolling over, pulling the covers over her face as Yami tried to wake her for school once more.

"Yes, Yami, I'm fine." Yugi sighed, pushing the covers down as she headed toward the closet for her school clothes. Yami eyed her warily, lifting her leather off the chair.

"Umm, Yugi, your clothes are over here." Yami sighed as Yugi glared. She had been losing her temper a lot these past few days, the bruises that had marred her face long since gone.

And Yami had yet find the proper opportunity for revenge.

"Now out!" Yugi pointed at the door, and Yami sighed, leaving the room so that his hikari could dress in peace.....


Yugi stared down at her stomach as she put on her leather shirt, waiting to tighten the many straps and buckles. She was over a month late, and she couldn't deny it any longer. In a month, maybe two, she would start showing. It would be hard, impossible to hide. Her frame was so slight and tiny that anybody with eyes would notice. If she tried hard, she could already see a growing swell, still extremely slight. Not even Yami had noticed it yet, during their nights together.

Yugi hugged her stomach gently, sobbing.

She had no idea what she was going to do, or who the father was.....


Yami listened at the door as he heard Yugi's sobbing coming from within, and held back his own tears. No matter how hard Yugi tried to hide it, Yami knew. He knew a week ago, when her temper started flaring, and she grew restless.

But he also knew she didn't want him to know, not yet. So he wouldn't know, until she wanted him to. And it worried him, to hear her crying every morning, to hear her sob alone, suffer in pain without him.

'Oh, Yugi, just tell me, please, don't suffer alone!' Yami choked back a sob as he headed down to the kitchen, sticking some bread in the toaster.

Grandpa was on a special archeological dig in Egypt, and would be gone for another three months.

"Yugi!" Yami called up the stairs as the microwave beeped, signaling that the instant pancakes were ready. "You got to eat something!"

"Coming!" Yugi shouted, her voice muffled.....


Yugi ran a hand over her stomach one last time with a sigh, patting it gently. She would willingly have an abortion, if it were Bakura's child. But she didn't know that. It could be his, or it could be Yami's, and Yugi couldn't force herself to get rid of what might be his child. She loved him too much for that.

"You're causing so much trouble, and you're not even born yet." Yugi whispered, pulling the straps on her shirt tight, leaving them the tiniest bit loose on the bottom, giving herself a little bit of comfort room......


"Hey, Yami, you go ahead! I forgot a book at home!" Yugi shouted, turning back halfway to school, and running back toward the house, kicking herself mentally for forgetting her science book.

"Yugi, are you sure? I'll can go and get it for you, you know. Once you get to school." Yami offered, not wanting Yugi to over stress herself. Yugi just rolled her eyes.

"It's just a few blocks Yami, I think I can manage!" Yugi laughed, turning and running toward home. "I'll catch you at school, okay!" Yami sighed, and waved, turning back toward school with heavy shoulders. He just couldn't shake the nagging feeling in the back of his mind......


"Hello there, Yugi. Now what would you be doing here, all alone, with no Pharaoh to protect you!" Bakura's voice drifted into Yugi's ears as a hand crept up her thigh.

She swung around, holding her keys out as a weapon, the door swinging open behind her.

"Go away Bakura! I swear to God, I'll cut your balls off if you don't leave this instant!" Yugi hissed, her arm wrapped protectively around her mid section, a move that Bakura did not miss.

"You wouldn't do that, now would you? Not to your precious little child's father!" Bakura threw back his head and laughed as Yugi paled, her grip loosening on the house keys.

"I knew you were a wimp, even weaker than Ryou! You wouldn't do anything now, now would you? Not if you value your baby!" Bakura snapped, puling her into the house, and slamming her against the door as it closed. Yugi whimpered in pain as Bakura held a hand over her stomach with a wicked grin.

/YAMI!!/ Yugi shrieked into her mental link, hoping that it wasn't too late for him to come, and save her from the nightmare she had been living for the past two months.

"Now, we can't have him ruining the fun, now can we?" Bakura grinned as he shut down the mental link Yugi had with the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle, fumbling with the buckles on her shirt.

'Oh Yami, please, help...' Yugi sobbed, limp in Bakura's grasp.....


Yami turned on his heels as he heard Yugi scream out in his mind, the link cut off suddenly. He knew of one, and only one person who could cut off a link with a Millennium Item, and that was.... Bakura.

The Pharaoh hissed with rage at the thought of Bakura coming close enough to Yugi to cut off their link, let alone make her scream for help. Yami sprinted towards home full out, ignoring the rude comments from people he pushed aside in a hurry to get to his aibou, refusing to be too late, again....


"Please, Bakura, don't! I'm begging you!" Yugi struggled weakly against the albino spirits grip as he removed her shirt with a slow fury, a hand tightening against her stomach once more.

"Now, now, we wouldn't want to hurt the little one, now would we? So just be quiet, and be nice little....." Bakura's words were cut off by a fist slamming into his head, whipping his body back as a hand grabbed his hair, ripping more than a few strands from their roots.

"Tomb Robber, you've crossed me for the last time!" Yami hissed, pulling the other spirits face to his own, fury burning in his crimson orbs. Bakura rolled his eyes.

"Yugi, are you all right?" Yami asked, not looking away from Bakura, hatred and loathing emanating from his very core.

"Ye.. yes, I'm fine Yami, thank you." Yugi whispered, putting her shirt on once more, and tightening the straps, cursing herself mentally for allowing herself to be caught off guard so easily.

"Oh, and in a few months, when that stomach of yours bulges from beneath all the leather straps and buckles? What will you be then, eh, Yugi?" Bakura sneered, grunting as Yami shoved him against a wall, hard, blood dripping down his chin. "Temper, temper Pharaoh!"

"Shut up, sleaze! I should cast your mind back into the shadow realm, where it belongs!" Yami hissed, eyes narrowing as Bakura laughed hoarsely.

Yugi sat on the coach, her face a deep red as she clutched at her stomach, watching the scene unfold in front of her, reveling in the fact that Bakura was suffering, but not sure if she should stop Yami from killing him, as he seemed about to do.

"Yami, please, don't kill him." Yugi whispered, resting a hand on his shoulder, looking at Bakura with ill hidden disgust.

"Yugi, no, he should rot in the eternal hell! He should burn with every torture the immortals have ever created!" Yami hissed, and for the first time in his entire life, Bakura felt fear. For once, he was very much afraid, that he would not survive this one, that not even Yami's hikari would be able to stop him now.

/Yami, please, don't kill him./ Yugi whispered, staring down at the loosened buckles on her shirt.

//Give me one good reason why not, aibou! He caused you such suffering and pain!// Yami hissed, Yugi shuddering at the sound of his voice.

/Because, I might be..... carrying his child..../ Yugi whispered mentally, tears streaming down her face. Yami sighed, the fury slipping from his eyes. Bakura gave a mental sigh of relief.

//I know. But, it could be mine, too, couldn't it?// Yami asked, his grip loosening on Bakura's neck, and the tomb robber rubbed his neck in thanks, resisting the urge to wink at Yugi.

"Yes, but please, don't kill him. No more death, no more suffering..." Yugi sobbed, burying her face in the folds of Yami's jacket. Yami gave Bakura a glare that could curdle water.

"Bakura, if I ever see you ever again, your mind will rot in the eternal pits of the Shadow Realm!" Yami hissed, and Bakura, deciding that he had better get while the getting was good, nodded, and left with as much speed as he could.

"You knew? All this time, you knew?" Yugi asked, looking up at her spirit. Yami smiled, and nodded, running his hands through her hair.

"Of course, how could I not? It's my child too, you know." Yami smiled, holding his precious hikari in his arms as he lowered them to the floor.

"But, what if, it's Bakura's?" Yugi sniffed, and Yami shook his head, enveloping Yugi's lips in a kiss.

//How could a lowly Tomb Robber like that ever care for a child enough to be its father?// Yami asked, hushing Yugi's turbulent mind, deciding that it was definitely another stay at home day for the two of them......

And, I apologize once more, I didn't mean to turn Bakura into such an evil creature, it just sorta.... happened.
