Sapna gingerly advanced to the letter. Her heart thumped loudly as if it were rebelling against the anxiety of the Queen's emotions. Ever so slowly, Sapna opened the letter… in case a curse or other was sealed in. A special type of paper found its way to her hands. It was so soft. Surely something such as this couldn't have been made in these times… only in ancient Egypt. Opening the paper all the way, Sapna gasped at the beautiful script upon the delicate paper. A chill ran down Sapna's spine as she read the words.
To the keeper of my heart,
For this world we shall give a new start.
Forgive me..
With you is where I am to be.
Whether in anger or passion, when you say my name……
No one knows how it makes me react; I've never felt the same.
It may seemed forced,
But please show no remorse….
To our creation.
For we have been forced to be together, yet I will not complain.
Sapna… I know what I have said the other night may have confused you… but I know within days the answer shall be clear to you.
Soon to be yours, Bakura R.
Raising an eyebrow, Sapna had the sudden urge to vomit. The urge became real though. With the speed of light, Sapna found herself hovering over the toilet spewing up everything she could possibly hold in her stomach.
**
"Yami? Sounds like something's wrong with Sapna." Yugi asked worriedly from the vomiting sounds coming from upstairs.
"Let's go check on her, Aibou." Yami said strutting along the stairs with his light at his side.
Upon reaching the room, they slowly walked into the bathroom after eyeing the bed quietly. The young Pharaoh rubbed Sapna's back slowly as her head rose slightly.
"Yami, I'll be fine… Just a little sick." With these words said, she continued her 'spree.' Yugi walked over to the bed, reading the note. Obviously it was what made her sick.
"Yami… I think you better come over here." Yugi said, handing his dark the paper. Yami's maroon orbs scanned the paper, then looked over at the Queen.
"What the hell is this? Bakura up to no good again? Has he put some sick magic to make you sick to your stomach in the wretched envelope?" Yami growled becoming somewhat jealous. Sapna rose after brushing her teeth.
"I came in here after my shower, didn't even have time to get dressed, and after I read the letter, I had the urge to vomit." Sapna said holding her abdomen, carefully sitting herself on the bed, She knew she was still in her towel from her bath, yet didn't do anything about it.
"Sapna, I really don't know what to do anymore," Yami slightly whispered.
"Yami, don't panic. Something has to give. We'll find out what's going on pretty soon," Yugi said, before pausing and continuing. "And another thing, you still haven't told me what happened last night at the dance." Yugi finished, ignoring the anger spreading evenly across Yami's face.
"What. Happened." Yami said angrily. "He tried something, didn't he?!"
"Yami… please don't get so angry." Sapna whispered.
"Just… Continue." Yami said as he bit his lip to contain his temper. Sapna told her story. She told them everything, from the emotions she felt to the way Bakura's cold, yet hot breath felt against her skin. After informing them, she questioned the two about anyone entering the house last night. Shaking their heads, she spilt the information concerning the midnight visitor.
"That was Bakura. And… he… touched you! I will NOT have history repeat itself!" Yami acidly spat once more.
"Never mind that Yami, we must focus our thoughts on the riddle the poem held. I know for a fact there is a secret meaning in Bakura's poetry." Yugi said, his large orbs looked straight upon Sapna, hiding his face's blush. Yami put a finger to his cheek, deep in thought and revenge.
"Seems like he's talking about what happened in the past. 'It may seem forced, but please show no remorse.' Obviously he's trying to tell her he has an attraction to her now, and it isn't just lust anymore." Yami clenched his teeth slightly, at an attempt to hold his anger back.
"But what about this creation he's talking about? 'To our creation.' What on Earth is he getting at?" Yugi asked, he was a master at riddles, this should be a piece of cake for him.
"Creation…" Sapna had a slight brainstorm of what it could be; yet she didn't want to say for Yami's sake.
"…A child." Yugi said slowly, trying to realize it was the truth.
"Yugi, could you please rephrase what you just said, I think I had something in my ear." Yami said awkwardly scratching the inside of his ear.
"Yami, the only thing a female and male could possibly create is a baby." Yugi said looking onto the floor. Sapna's hand raised to her mouth as she gasped in horror. Bakura couldn't possibly be telling the truth.
"A baby, but… how? That happened 5,000 years ago!" Yami said disbelieving.
"He said he was researching some stuff in the shadow realm. Perhaps there is a loop hole to pregnancy?" Sapna said as she felt her heart speed up.
"You couldn't possibly be pregnant Sapna…" Yugi said slowly.
"Well, I did just vomit…" Sapna whispered. "And I have been feeling rather nauseous as of late."
"No way… even if it was… it couldn't be his kid…" Yami groaned.
"What do you mean Yami? Bakura was the only one, right?" Yugi questioned.
"…" Yami and Sapna became uncharacteristically quiet.
"Is there something neither of you told me?" Yugi raised an eyebrow.
"Well…" Yami's face became slightly pink.
"Er… If I am pregnant… let's just say it could be Yami's…" Sapna looked at the floor.
"So… when did that happen?" Yugi continued, "because if we know when it happened, then we know whose baby it is… IF this whole situation if real."
"Around the time that Bakura… well you know. So we cant be too sure.." Sapna mumbled.
"Bakura could be bluffing. We don't even know if what Bakura says in his petty poetry could be true." Yami stood defiantly.
"True. We'll just have to see how Sapna is for this month." Yugi said.
"Are you okay, Sapna?" Yami asked awkwardly.
"…I'm… fine. Really." Sapna blurted out, as she ripped up a petal in her jeweled hands. Yami and Yugi looked worriedly at each other.
"There's so much happening right now. I really don't know what do to… first that girl, then Bakura pulling this mishap… and so much. Its hard to pull my own weight, you know..." Sapna's voice cracked between syllables.
"Sapna, you shouldn't feel this way, you have us." Yugi whispered gently while hugging Sapna.
"Come on, lets go watch a movie or something, to help take our mind off of it, it's obviously too much to handle right now. And we already need some time to see how things go." Yami said gently. Sapna rose, picking up some pajama's Yugi has set aside for her already, and walked into the bathroom, changing. When she opened the door, Yugi and Yami stood, waiting for her. The trio headed down stairs, as Sapna took the love seat, sprawling her self across it. She fell into slumber, where the dream world awaited her.
*****
A princess, in what looked like a Greek wedding outfit, laid herself into the arms of prince Yami, they waltzed slowly around as the nobles and other such Royals stood in a circle around the two. Her blonde crimped hair swayed in the air as she twirled. Pulling herself closer to her prince, she whispered something in his ear.
"My love, what name would you pick for a child?" She spoke happily.
"Why?" Yami raised his playful eyebrows. The girl simply winked, causing Yami to get the picture. He picked her up, twirling her around as she giggled.
"We should make an announcement! Father would be so happy!" The youthful Prince took hold of his lady's hand, gently, yet quickly leading her to the Pharaoh.
"Father! You're going to be a grandfather!"
"What? Is this true?" Pharaoh Ramious looked over at his daughter-in-law. She merely nodded her head shyly.
*****
Sapna awoke with a cold sweat across her forehead, her heart thumping a mile a minute, and a gasp in mid air. Yugi and Yami looked over at her worriedly.
"Sapna? Are you okay? Did you have a nightmare?" Yami questioned.
"That girl…" Sapna choked out.
