NOTES: I kept the male x female scene out of this. The last chappie is where Ryou sleeps with Bakura, but goes downstairs and she sleeps with Marik (on the kitchen table nonetheless)!!!!!!

Fruit Juice and Beef Jerky????

Ryou woke early the next morning in her lover's arms. Bakura's slight smile was still plastered on his face. Bakura looked content and at peace. Ryou smiled and kissed Bakura's cheek. She leaned over to take her heart medication and put on a robe. Ryou held her back.

'Maybe I should have though twice before sleeping with Marik AND Bakura last night! My back is killing me!!!!,' she thought.
"Twice in one night must have been too much for this body. My back is killing me." Ryou walked downstairs. Malik and Marik were asleep in front of the window as they watched the sunrise. Malik once said that he and his yami enjoyed their sunrises together. Ryou went over to Marik and kissed his forehead. She made a cup of hot tea and Malik opened his eyes in the living room.
Ryou sat down and stirred the tea yawning, eyes still almost closed. Malik walked into the kitchen slowly rubbing his eyes. "Ryou? What are you doing up so early?"
"I have to do some of my homework. Plus, I couldn't sleep too well. My back is hurting and I'm having pains."
"Where?"
"Let's just say places you don't want to know about," Ryou said yawning.
Malik sat at the table with Ryou. "Marik told me about last night. He didn't hurt you did he?"
"No, he didn't hurt me. He loves you very much, Malik."
Malik nodded and stretched. "We're the luckiest hikaris in the world, Ryou. We have everything we ever wanted! They love us, care for us…what more could we want from them? Life is finally perfect and complete. Nothing could ruin the bond we have with our yamis."
Ryou put down the cup and suddenly leaned forward a bit. Malik jumped out of his chair. "Ryou? Ryou? You alright? Did you take your medicine this morning?"
Tears came from Ryou's eyes. "Excuse me, Malik!" Ryou ran upstairs to the bathroom and locked the door. Malik followed her closely. Ryou gagged and coughed in the bathroom. Malik knocked on the door as he heard Ryou cry. The hikari ran into Bakura and shook him awake.
"Malik?"
"Ryou's in the bathroom and locked herself in there. I think she's sick."
Bakura sighed. "What is it with Ryou and bathrooms?" Bakura slowly got out of bed. "I think I was too rough last night. My back …ow."
Malik shot Bakura a look of surprise. "You, too? Well, I couldn't have done much anyway."
Malik and Bakura knocked on the bathroom door when they heard Ryou scream. "Ryou! Open this door!"
"I can't! Get Isis in here! Quick!"
Malik woke his sister who came to the door. "Ryou? What's wrong in there?"
Ryou opened the door and pulled Isis inside. "I'm bleeding, Isis! Where? How?"
Isis held the hysterical Ryou in her arms. "It's Ok, Ryou. This is normal."
"Since when is this normal? This never happened to me before."
"Ryou, this is natural for women. Let me clean you up. Bakura, I need a clean pair of underwear. It's not that bad, Ryou." Through the door was handed two pairs of underwear. "I only need one pair, boys. Now, Ryou, clean yourself up."
"But what is this, Isis??? How do I stop it?"
"You'll have this for as long as you are a woman."
Ryou covered his face sobbing. "I want my old body back! How did this happen, Isis?"
Isis sighed. Ryou never had sex education yet and was not educated on many facets of the female body.
"Well, Ryou….um…every month..our bodies go through a change. It's not a bad thing if this happens, it just means our body is maturing. Every month you'll find that your body will go through this."
"What does this mean?"
"It means that you haven't slept with a man."
Ryou cried. "But I did sleep last night with Bakura and Marik."
Isis' eyes widened in shock. "You slept with both of them last night?"
"Yes. I did sleep with them last night."
Isis rolled her eyes. "Well, this could also be explained by Marik. He's not exactly the most gentle of lovers. I feel sorry for my poor brother."
Ryou flushed the toilet.
"Did you throw up?" Ryou nodded. "Well, if you do not feel better by tomorrow, we will have to call the doctors." Ryou nodded again.
Isis left and returned back to bed. Bakura turned to Malik. "I'll get breakfast ready. You bring Ryou downstairs."
"Why me?"
"Because I know Ryou might be shy around me. I hope I'm not the one who hurt him last night. If I did, I didn't mean it. You take care of Ryou."
Malik knocked on the door and entered as Ryou looked up at Malik. "Ryou? I was worried about you. How are you feeling?" Malik kneeled in front of Ryou brushing away the tears gently.
Ryou quickly brought Malik into her arms. "I thought something was wrong, Malik. I panicked. I'm sorry I ran out on you so quickly."
Malik rocked Ryou gently. "It's Ok, Ryou. Are you feeling better now?"
"I'm hungry."
"Well," Malik laughed, "That's a good sign." Malik helped Ryou downstairs when they saw Marik at the foot of the stairs.
Marik took Ryou's hand. "I'm so sorry, Ryou. This is all my fault. I should have been more careful with you last night."
Ryou closed her eyes and shook her head. "It's not your fault, Marik. That's not what's wrong. I'm getting dizzy."
Marik and Malik helped Ryou to the couch and laid her down. Marik went to get a cold compress for her face since it looked flushed.
Malik kneeled before Ryou. "Maybe it's your medication."
"No. I would have noticed it right away."
Bakura ran into the living room. "Ryou, are you hungry?"
"Do we have any fruit juice?"
"No."
"I want that."
"You want what?"
"Fruit Juice…Red Fruit juice. Tropical."
Marik returned to Ryou and Bakura grabbed Marik's shirt. "Marik, go get some fruit juice for Ryou. There's money on my dresser."
"Why do I have to go?"
"Because Ryou is sick. I have to cook breakfast, and Malik has to go to school today."
Marik sulked up the stairs as Malik turned to Bakura whining. "Do I have to go to school today?"
"All hikaris must go to school….except Ryou. I will take care of Ryou."
"Can't Marik go to school for me?"
"Marik has to get Ryou's juice. We'll talk about school later."
Marik returned downstairs and Malik ran upstairs to dress. "Anything else you want at the store?"
Ryou smiled at Marik. "Get the largest bag of beef jerky you can find! No…wait…get two!"
Marik raised his eyebrow. "Ryou, you don't like beef jerky."
"I WANT BEEF JERKY!" Ryou whined loudly.
"So you want Tropical fruit juice and beef jerky, huh? Fine." Marik closed the door behind him and Bakura kneeled beside Ryou.
Bakura brushed her cheek lightly with his hand. "What's wrong, Ryou?"
"I don't know. I suddenly got so nauseous that I ran upstairs and threw up. I just got dizzy and they put me here."
Bakura leaned over and kissed her lips gently. "I'll be here to take care of you today. We'll have this place all to ourselves."
"Won't Marik be here?"
"I'll send him out for something else from the store. I'll just say I forgot to tell him."
Ryou giggled and pulled the yami down into a kiss. Bakura moaned as his hand roamed to Ryou's leg rubbing it gently.
Bakura pulled back. "If you are sick, we're going to have to take you to the doctor."
Ryou sighed. "How are we going to explain THESE to him?" Ryou pointed to the chest he found more sore than the night before. "None of my doctors would believe me. We need another doctor."
Bakura thought. "We have only one option. I have to go see Seto's doctor."
"And why?"
"He took care of you when you were poisoned."
"But, yami, he won't believe me any more than the other doctors."
"I don't trust any of your doctors, to tell you the truth. Seto's doctor knew what was wrong with you and treated you very well. He may be trustworthy."
Ryou sighed and took Bakura's hand. "I hope you are right, yami."
Bakura leaned down to whisper in Ryou's ear. "I said I would take care of you in sickness and in health, didn't I? I'm going to be right here until you get better. You're still weak from the surgery and I think it is Marik's fault and myself for placing too much stress on you last night. We both should have know better, but I do not regret loving you as much as I do."
"I don't regret anything either, yami. I love you. Thank you."
Bakura kissed Ryou and brought his hand up to Ryou's belly. Ryou looked no different from the night before, but felt something strange…different.

Next Chappie: Bakura goes to Seto's doctor and Ryou receives news of the trial.
