Disclaimer: If I owned Yu-gi-oh, Tea would be dead, Bakura-chan would rule, and yaoi would run rampant. It doesn't. I don't.

Warning note: This contains Mpreg. It's my first time to try something like this, so I hope it goes well. If not, eh. It'll be fun to try.

Bakura was pacing, something he normally despised doing. But, hell, he was nervous. Who could blame him? What he'd just asked...oh, Kami-sama. "So this will really work?" Isis nodded. If it's what you both want." A guilty look. "I was supposed to have asked him?" Isis blanched.

"Oh, no. Of coarse not," she said, sarcastically. "Good."..."So...what now?" Bakura wasn't acting like himself at all. But this was serious. If everything went well, it could make everything different. It could give Ryou the one thing Bakura couldn't. Until now.

"We perform the spell. I'll need a little of at least your blood." Bakura took a dagger and slashed the skin on his forearm. Isis scrunched her nose and got as much blood as she needed. "Okay. Here it goes.

"Mother Isis, Goddess of fertility, hear our plea. Grant the gift of parenthood to two who can't conceive. The true sign of their love in living, breathing flesh. The blood of the father offered in sacrifice to your great power, grant the wish for a child that they can never receive. Oh, great mother, give an answer to their prayer. For their love shall endure and strengthen with any challenge brought. I beg of you, great mistress of love, to give this hope rewardance and that the love portrayed in them will be a symbol for this world."

(// AN: I made that up. Cool, huh? I tried to make it rhyme, even just a little. Not sure if it did or not. *Shrug*. //)

Bakura sat, for once completely silent, mesmerized by the chant. Every word had been true. This was their last hope. He wanted this, even if just for Ryou. The boy had once told him of wanting to be a father. And there was nothing Bakura wouldn't do to give that to him. Perhaps telling Ryou would have been a good idea, but no one is perfect, right? All he could do was hope this worked.

Ryou sighed contently as Bakura removed himself from within him. The hikari snuggled into his chest. Nights like this one made it all worthwhile. The feeling of completion both in body and in heart.

He cooed quietly as the adrenaline slowed to a trickle. Something had been different tonight. Bakura had been gentler and had seemed exited and loving. Not like he wasn't usually, but he was more so now.

Also, something had felt different physically. Like the warmth at their climax had gone deeper than ever before. It had felt odd, but at the same time, pleasant. 'Oh, it doesn't matter,' Ryou told himself. 'Too tired to think now, anyway.' He snuggled into Bakura's chest and quickly fell asleep.

Mother Isis reached out and stroked his cheek. "I truly hope this is what you want. I know the love between you can endure it. I give she life within you a gift from Ra himself; your child will be able to feel the love one day that exists between you and this Bakura." The kissed him on the forehead. "I will be with you both. Grant my wish and let this be a blessing upon you both. Not a burden." She smiled and disappeared.

Set slipped from the shadows. "Oh, I think this will be a burden, alright. Heh. We'll just see how much fun this is, *Mother* Isis, or no." A purple light covered them both. "Have fun, you two. I hope you like roller coasters. You're on one as we speak." Ryou frowned in his sleep. "Yes. This will be fun...for me."

Yeah. I know. Sucks, right. Well, I'm going to keep writing anyway. Maybe. I hope. I'm only rating this PG-13 cause I don't think it's all that bad. If I have to up it, I will. But don't be expecting a lemon. Just not happening. Unless...nah.
