"Hey guys!" Sapna said standing beside Yami and Yugi as they put their cards down.
"Hey Sapna!" Rounds of hellos went around the table as Sapna smiled.
"Does anyone want something to drink or snack on?" Sapna asked playfully feeling a tad bit better now some people filled the empty house.
"OH! I'm starved!" Tristin groaned.
"We just ate!" Tea complained.
"I'm hungry too, Sapna. Tea eats like a bird, ignore her." Joey said happily. Giggling, Sapna went into the kitchen, digging through the freezer.
"Excuse me guys, I have to have a word with Sapna real quick. Play this round with out me.." Yami said sheepishly walking into the kitchen as Joey and Tristin made catcalls. Stopping at the entrance, the young Pharaoh watched as Sapna dug through the iceboxes. He raised an eyebrow however, when he saw her stomach looking rather… bulky.
"Sapna…" Yami said questioningly. //better not tell her she's gained weight…she's next to the knives…//
"Yes?" Sapna was staring right back at him.
"Er… nothing, just wondered if you wanted some help!" Yami smiled.
"Well, it would be nice, I haven't a clue what to make." Sapna raised an eyebrow at Yami's wandering eyes.
"Yami…is there something you want to look at?" Sapna giggled, mocking him.
"Er…" Yami's face became extremely red. "No, nothing at all…"
"Okay…" Sapna said, taking out a giant bag of frozen spiced fries. "Now, how do you make these?" Sapna asked, confusion painted on her delicate face.
"Oh, you have to use a microwave." Yami pointed out to her.
"A micr—a micheal who?" Sapna questioned.
"No, no… a microwave. It's the modern way to heat frozen food." Yami chuckled as he opened to plastic bag, and emptied the fries onto a plate, sticking them into the giant box. The Pharaoh skillfully pressed buttons, indicating the cooking time.
"Oh… I still don't get it…" Sapna said.
"I know, modern things take time to learn. But my stomach forced me to learn when I first came here." Yami laughed. Sapna smiled, watching the plate turn around as the inside of the small oven glowed a slight yellow.
"I… see." The Queen arched an eyebrow as the fries emitted an alluring smell through out the house.
"Where's tha grub? I smell it, but it ain't comin!" Joey's complaint echoed around the house.
"Its coming, Joey!" Yami chuckled, kissing Sapna on the cheek, before walking back to the card game. Sapna blushed lightly, before jumped into the air when the microwave sang its beeping noise into the air.
"Sheesh… ridiculous beeping…" Sapna reached her hand into the oven, then retreated it away quickly. "HAI RAM!!! OUCH!!" Holding her fingers angrily, she glared at the black box.
"Careful, now." a voice behind her stated. It was Bakura. Well, the light version; He held her hand, putting it under running cold water.
"Um… thank you, Bakura." Sapna whispered. She looked back up to see cold eyes looming over her.
"No problem, your highness." He smirked creepily.
"Bakura…" Sapna said getting rather speechless. Ram, he shouldn't smirk like that…brings back memories…
"Sapna… How have you been?" His eyes pierced into her own.
"What have you implied with your poetry, Bakura. I'm serious." Sapna's voice became soaked in deadliness.
"I'll get straight to the point before Yami walks in here… My research in the Shadow Realm has proven to me that a woman of any race may become pregnant, but once in the Shadow Realm, the process is illiminated until the woman is set into the correct dimension. Thus, the process starts all over. And if I am not mistaken, you are pregnant." Bakura's voice announced his knowledge.
"What?" Sapna blinked at the man before her. He sighed. "But how… do you know?" questioned again, repeating to herself what Mahlissa has preached to her about being strong.
" I also wanted to tell you that baby is surely mine. Since it is, I plan on having you as my wife. I want you as my Queen. If you are carrying my heir, I want that baby. I love you, and I love our child. That's simply what my poetry states." He smiled kindly at her, although his eyes deceived every last grin he held.
"Bakura, I don't know what kind of disgusting trick you intend on playing upon me, but I won't take it lightly." She looked away quickly, causing her bangs to ruffle a bit.
"Suit yourself. All I have to say if Yami isn't the only one with his own body. I am free to do what I want." Bakura slowly left and his hikari returned.
"Bakura… are you aware of your Yami?" Sapna hissed lightly.
"Yes. Sapna, if he's causing you trouble…"
"I need you to get him to his own body permanently."
"What? Why? Yugi told me of you two's past."
"Exactly. If it comes down to a war between the three of us, then so be it. But I shan't hurt you in the process. He will be destroyed, not you." Sapna took her hands away from Bakura's and the cold water.
"Does it still burn?" The hikari asked.
"No, I'm fine now." Sapna smiled. Don't worry Bakura, I'll figure out exactly what's going on here. I'll talk to Mahlissa about it, as well as getting Yami and Yugi in on this as well. I guess I'll have to forgive Yami of whatever happened between him and Mahlissa. It's clear to me now that he has forgotten. She still seems to be upset about it, but what happened, happened. It will be of no use dwelling upon it. We must work together if we wish to achieve our goals. Bakura… I'm on to you, even if you frighten me, I will still figure out why you lie to me… of this pregnancy.
