"Oh shit," Kaiba said, as for the first time, he felt a slight fear rise inside him.

Marik glared angrily. "That's right, because you never think do you? What if she's pregnant? Then what?" Marik asked.
"I guess make her one of us, but we don't know if she is yet, so we don't need to worry" Kaiba said walking around Marik and going to his room.

"You should tell her Kaiba, she deserves to know what might happen" Marik called after him as he watched his leader disappear.

Kaiba walked into his room, to find Serenity standing in the middle of the room, a little confused. Truth be told, Serenity wanted to know why Marik was all worked up. When she had seen Kaiba walk in, she froze in place. Why can't I move? I want to go and hide from him she thought, thinking of the bathroom.

She watched him as he walked up to her, his face emotionless as he handed her a bag of food like he usually did. Serenity hesitated at first. She didn't want anything from him, but she could see his patience running thin, and she didn't want him to get angry, so she grabbed the bag and to her luck, was able to walk over to her couch.

She took out the food, opening the wrappers and slowly eating it. Her eyes watching him closely.

"What the hell happened here?" Kaiba turned to her, anger in his eyes.

Serenity stopped eating immediately. "I. . .no-nothing" she said fearfully.

Kaiba walked up to her, trying his best to keep calm. "Serenity, what the hell happened to my bookcase?" he asked.

Serenity gasped. She had thought Marik was right, he had said he had read Kaiba's mind didn't he? So how did he know? She thought.

"I. . .it fell" she said pathetically.

"Oh really? And how did you get most of the books in order?" he asked.

Serenity thought. She could of easily said Marik, but she didn't want to get him in trouble. She had seen Kaiba's strength, felt it, and she didn't wish it upon anyone.

"Well?" he asked annoyed. "And no point in lying" he continued to her.

"Marik" she whispered.

Kaiba nodded, "That fool thinks I'm stupid" he said walking away from the frightened brunette.

"K-Kaiba. . .do you know why Marik was all worked up?" she asked. She was scared, but that question over came her fear, and without her really knowing, slipped out of her mouth.

Kaiba sighed. He did not want to tell her this; he thought he would never have to. But then again, because of his foolish mistakes, he had too. She might not even be he thought. So why can't I wait? He asked himself annoyed.

"Because! She must know!" someone said in his mind.

Kaiba growled. "Marik, get the hell out of my mind, before I hurt you" Kaiba thought.

When hearing nothing, he was sure Marik had gone. Perhaps Marik is right, besides he thought, a smirk creeping on his lips. I could have some fun with this, toying with her and all he thought, turning around and walking up to her.

"So you want to know? I can tell you you know, you won't like the answer to your question" Kaiba said, his smirk visible on his face.

"Okay" she said. She didn't know what to say other then that word, and when she saw his mouth open, she guessed it was an okay answer.

"Well, because of our night of fun" he smirked, remembering the night. "And because I didn't use protection, you might be pregnant" he said, watching her face turn into shock.

"But. . .you're a v-vampire! It's impossible!" she said fearfully. Her hand slowly touching her stomach. Could there be something growing in me now? She thought.

"And you most likely are. What's worse is, I'm a vampire, and we'll, being pregnant with my kid, it makes them one as well," he said. "Well, half of one anyway" he said.

"But, then it will never grow" she said.

"Well, the child will be half and half I'm guessing, so it will grow till an age and stop. But they might not have all the powers a usually vampire has" Kaiba said.

Serenity sat there. "Well, I don't think I'll get pregnant anyways" she said. "So no need to worry," she added.

"There's more" Kaiba said.

"It can't be any worse I'm guessing," she said.

"Well, seeing if you do get pregnant, it will have some vampirism in it, and vampires drink blood" he said. "I mean, its all it can have, and you not being one, puts you in danger, because the child will drink from your blood till you die and have none left. Then the baby usually is abnormal for not having any blood or anything," he said.

Serenity gasped. "So-so what happens if I am? I don't want to die at all," she cried.

"There is one way, and one way only" he said. "You have to become a vampire," he said.

"A v-vampire?" she repeated.

"And once you become one, this will be the only child you can have, seeing as you will stop growing and all" he said.

"Well. . .we-we don't know fo-for sure If I am" she said. "So, you never know" she said.

Kaiba smirked. "Your right, anyways, that's all I had to tell you," he said.

"Oh okay" she said.

"Also, we'll know soon anyways, Marik can read minds, and he'll know if there's an extra one around" Kaiba said.

"Great" she said, laying on the couch, as Kaiba blew all the candles out. I. . .never thought this could happen she thought. How come, all these bad things are happening to me? I never did anything she cried.

And the fact that I might be pregnant frightens me. What if it's like Kaiba? Evil like that. I don't want to give birth to a child that will do more wrongs then rights she thought.

I hope I'm not she thought, as she slowly fell asleep, her dreams taking her to another place. . .

        -Serenity's Dream-

Serenity giggled happily, as she sat in a large field with beautiful green grass. There was a gently breeze in the air, as sun shown down on her.

"Joey!" she screamed to her brother.

Running after him, through the flowers, she finally reached him, giving him a big hug.

"I missed you so much" she said, happy to be near him once again.

"I missed ya' to sis" he said, returning her hug.

Serenity sighed happily as she stood there in her brother's arms. She had missed this so much, and it felt so good to feel loved again.

Suddenly, the once clear blue skies turned dark and gray, and the scenery around them changed, the grass old and yellow, and the flowers dead and wilted.

"Joey what's happening?" she cried, as she held tightly to her brother.

"He's coming" Joey said.

Serenity looked up at Joey. "Who is he?" she asked.

Joey looked down on her. "Your son" he said.

Serenity gasped. My son? But I don't have one! She thought franticly.

"Joey I don't have one!" she cried.

"Yes you do, Serenity you have to run, don't let him catch you, he'll hurt you, just like Kaiba, probably worse" Joey said trying to push her off him so she could run for it.

"Joey I don't have a-"

Her words stopped as she was grabbed from behind. Serenity screamed in terror. "Let go of me," she cried.

"Not yet mother, time to watch your brother die" he stated, as he took a sharp knife and threw it at Joey.

--End Of Serenity's Dream--

"JOEY LOOK OUT!" she screamed loudly, sitting up from the couch. She was sweaty and breathing hard.

"Oh. . ." she said, her eyes looking into the darkness. "It was just a dream," she said, lying back on the couch.

Is that what's going to happen? She thought fearfully. Am I going to bear as son like that? Oh God, I hope I don't she thought. I don't think I want a child from Kaiba she thought fearfully.

---

Kaiba had heard her screams, but didn't move. He knew it was a dream, he could hear her soft mumbles from where he was. He knew she feared something, but he didn't know what, and he refused to ask her. I'll ask Marik tomorrow, I'm sure he was watching her dream he thought, going back to sleep.

----

Marik leaned on his bed, as he sighed from what he just watched. He knew what she feared, a son, an evil one, and he couldn't blame her, the man who was supposed to be her son killed the only person she truly loved. . .right now.

Marik smiled. Although she feared it, she wouldn't have to wait long to know they were false. For, yes, she would be pregnant, he could already sense the minds, but it wasn't what she was expecting at all.

Marik chuckled. I wonder he thought. If they will be happy knowing what they receive. Who would of thought? He asked himself, as he closed his eyes.

Yet, Marik didn't know whether to fear telling Kaiba the news, or not, but he knew Kaiba and Serenity would be surprised, for something like this, was quite the rarity in vampires.
