Chapter 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura walked all alone towards her destination with confidence. It's been too long since she's talked to her brother. Too long since she's seen his innocent face. Sakura wondered if all that she forgotten was all gained back. She stood outside his door and hesitated. She could tell it was still locked. Sighing, she pulled out a hair pin from her back pocket, kneeled down, and started to pick the lock. She was like that for about ten minutes till the lock came undone. That's when she started to hear shuffeling inside. Sakura opened the door with a deep breath and stepped in to see Yugi holding a frying pan, ready to strike.
Sakura tickled Hiro on her shoulders. He laughed and tried to squirm out of her grasp but it didn't work."Ok! Ok! Uncle! I give!" Hiro yelled out between laughter. Sakura laughed as she approached the game shop. There was a limo out front which made Sakura's heart drop. Is that Kaiba or is that Yoshio to take back Hiro? Sakura quickened her pace to make sure who it was."Mommy, is that Yoshio?" Sakura was silent as she put him down and held his hand."I don't know. Let's hurry up and get inside. It's almost time for them to close." It was almost six P.M. and Sakura rushed Hiro. They ran inside, ringing a bell as they burst in."Oh, hey Sakura! I see your back! Who's this?" asked Yugi once he spotted the kid. Hiro saluted."I'm Hiro Motou! Nice to meet you!" Yugi chuckled."Is he a lost cousin or just a fan?" Yugi asked Sakura as he looked down at Hiro."Niether. He's your nephew. Meet my son, Hiro." Yugi's jaw dropped but he quickly closed it."Sakura, how many times are you going to surprise me? Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant when you were?" asked Yugi sternly. Sakura scratched the back of her head nervously."Well, I was in a different accident and was in acoma, then when I came to, I find out I had a kid. Then he was taken away then you see, I got into anouther accident and that's when I lost my memories. I think." Sakura smiled. Yugi's eyes softened and he kneeled down towards Hiro."Hello Hiro. I'm Yugi Motou. I'm your uncle." Hiro smiled."You're that guy I see on T.V.! You're my uncle?! How cool!!" Hiro squeeled in delight. Yugi smiled and got up."Who's the father?" Yugi asked Sakura with a smile. Sakura bypassed the question."Can I let Hiro nap in your room? I think he's tired." As if on cue, Hiro yawned, making Yugi chuckle."Sure, but we have to talk as soon as he goes to sleep." Sakura was grim as she carried Hiro upstairs and laid him on the bed."Mommy, do I have to go to sleep? I just got here." pouted Sakura. Sakura smiled down at the kid."No, you don't but I know your tired. Did you want help getting to sleep? You can talk more with Uncle Yugi later." Hiro smiled and nodded."I wanna hear a story! About daddy!" Sakura smiled."Daddy is a great man. He's very loving. He had a hard time admitting he loved me and it took him awhile till he confessed to me finally when we were holding eachother in high school but then mommy had to leave daddy. Which made him very sad." Hiro closed his eyes with a smile. Sakura continued with the story."Mommy never got to see daddy cuase mommy was so busy and so was daddy. They lost contact. We missed eachother very much. Then mommy made a discision. I was going to finally see him. It would make daddy happy again." Sakura smiled down at Hiro. He made her proud to call him son."Daddy should be happy that he has you." Hiro said sleepily. Sakura nodded and sat there, petting his head till he fell asleep. Sakura got up carefully and slipped out of the room to bump into Yami."What's this about a child? I see our little girl has grown up faster than what we first thought!" Sakura smiled and poked Yami in the ribs."Shush. He's sleeping. You can see him when he wakes up." They walked down quietly downstairs and slipped into the living room. Yugi was already sitting there talking with Kaiba, who sat on a couch. Sakura stiffened but she walked in with a fake smile, sitting next to Yugi."He's asleep now." Sakura said softly to Yugi. Yugi smiled and Yami sat down on the couch that Kaiba sat at. Kaiba sat relaxed but once Sakura showed up, his body stiffened."Sakura." Kaiba acknowledged. Sakura nodded in reply. Yami looked between the two confused."I thought you two were going out." Yami said supiciously. Yugi would have thrown his necklace at him but he knew better. Everyone was quiet for Kaiba's reply."Why don't you ask her what's going on. She seems to know everything." Kaiba said gruffly. Sakura stared at her hands not wanting to meet everyone's gaze. Yugi cleared his throught."Ok..... Sakura you have yet to share how the child came to be." Yugi said hopefully lightening the tension in the room. She smiled weakly."Yugi, everyone knows how to make children. I don't think I need to explain how to do it." Yugi blushed and flicked her forehead."You know what I mean. Who's the father?" Sakura was silent. She didn't want to say who it was especially if it was Kaiba. Most of all, she didn't want to say it in front of him. Yugi noticed she didn't reply but he knew an anwer was an order."Sakura..." Yugi said with a tone like a parent would use on a child who did something wrong. Yami was silent and he could see Kaiba was all ears from the corner of his eye. Everyone was just waiting for her reply."Yugi, I........." Sakura sighed then closed her eyes. She can't keep a secret forever."It's Se---" A cry could be heard from above coming from little Hiro. Kaiba and Sakura where the first to jump up and run to the room to see Hiro crying."WAAAAAHHHH!!! There monsters under the bed!" Hiro cried. Sakura tried her best to soothe his nerves but nothing would work."Here, let me try." Kaiba grabbed the nearest stuffed animal in the room and shoved it in Hiro's face. He stopped crying to see a plushie Kuriboh right in front of his face. He looked up at Kaiba and grabbed the plushie slowly. Kaiba kneeled down beside the kid. Sakura took this chance to sneak downstairs."As long as you sleep with this, then no monster can get you. It will protect you from them all." Kaiba said softly. Hiro smiled and laid back down clutching the Kuriboh. Soon he was back to sleep. Sakura was already downstairs waiting for him. Yami and Yugi were talking with her but everyone stopped talking and stared at Kaiba as soon as he entered. Yami sighed and walked to the front of the store and Yugi smiled."Sakura, I'm going to help Yami. I think you two should talk." Sakura looked at him pleadingly as he turned to leave."Yugi..." Yugi looked at her from over his shoulder."It's ok Sakura. Just say what needs to be said." Then Yugi turned to leave and disappeared. Kaiba was confused but he hid it behind his usual cold demeaner. He sat on a stool as Sakura twiddled her thumbs."Sakura, what was that about?" Kaiba asked while staring at her with unreadable eyes. Sakura bit her bottom lip nervously. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly."Kaiba, Hiro may be my son but Yoshio is not his father." Kaiba looked at her strangely. Where was this going?
"And that makes any difference, how?" Sakura closed her eyes not wanting to see his reaction after she said what she wanted to say. Moments passed till Sakura finally spoke."Hiro is your son." Sakura opened her eyes slowly but avoided his gaze. I don't want to see his face. I know he's mad. I just know it! Sakura berated herself in her thoughts till Kaiba finally said something."Then why does Yoshio have him? And why is Hiro under his custody?" Sakura sighed sadly."Do a blood test on Hiro to prove he's your son. Would you be willing to do that? If not for me then for him?" Sakura asked hesitently while looking into Kaiba's eyes. Kaiba looked away."What makes you so sure he's mine?" Sakura stared at her hands which were shaking. She made them into fists in case Kaiba was looking at her like she was a weak woman."You were the only person I've done it with by my own will in my entire life, and the last one. In America, I was loyal. I was with no other despite what Yoshio is saying." Sakura said quietly. Her hands where shaking so bad now and her knuckles were white and she clenched harder, trying not to make it shake anymore. It made Sakura jump slightly as Kaiba gripped her hands, in a way to comfort her."Then why didn't you tell me?" Sakura closed her eyes and tears fell. She hid her face in her hands."I'm sorry. I'm so sorry...." Sakura said through her tears. She had no explanation for not telling him. There was nothing she could say to make up for it. Kaiba got up and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into an embrace. She cried into his chest and clutched onto his trenchcoat tightly. After what seemed like hours, her sobs ceased to quiet whimpers. Kaiba had no words. This was the woman who he thought betrayed him and he was holding her in his arms once again. It was her again and she didn't betray him. The flashbacks of what he said to her in the limo passed through his mind and his heart panged. Why did I say something like that to her? Kaiba sighed and pushed Sakura away, which confused her. Kaiba held her by her shoulders an arms length away and made her look at him."Sakura, what happened in the limo, I'm sorry. I didn't know and I didn't listen." Sakura looked at him blankly."Kaiba, don't apoligize for something that was out of your hands." Kaiba sighed."No, I shouldn't have said anything like that. I was stepping out of line. I'm sorry." Kaiba bowed his head in shame. He had failed her. Sakura held his chin up and kissed him sofly on the lips. It felt so good to feel those lips again. To dwell in thier softness and the wetness of her mouth as he searched it hungrily with his tongue. He pulled away, looking lovingly into her face."Don't hide things from me again." Sakura smiled."I won't." Yami opened the door slightly and peeked in. He smirked at the two but the sudden ring of a bell drew his attention."Hello. What may I do for you today?" Yugi asked the man."I'm Yoshio Amaki and I'm here to pick up my son, Hiro." Yoshio kept his expression cold and stern. Yugi elbowed Yami so he didn't blab out anything."Hold on, let me get Sakura." Yugi said calmly. He entered the back room and closed the door."Sakura, why is Yoshio saying that Hiro is his son?" Yugi asked. Sakura snapped in surprise."He's here?" Yugi nodded. Sakura pulled away from Kaiba and rushed to sleeping Hiro."Kaiba, what's going on?" Kaiba smirked."I'll be right back." Kaiba then walked towards the front of the store."Kaiba?" Yoshio asked surprised. He knew a limo was outside but assumed it to be Sakura's."Yoshio, whatever brings you here?" Kaiba asked coldly. He knew the reason already but he had to hear it for himself. Yoshio smirked."I've come for my son and hopefully my future wife." Sakura then walked in holding sleeping Hiro, who clutched the plushie Kuriboh for dear life. Yoshio held out his arms to take him but Sakura kept him away."I'll take him to the vehicle." Sakura then left the store to lay little Hiro in the awaiting limo. Kaiba glared at Yoshio who looked happy as can be."Kaiba, it's not my fault I own everything you want. You won't get her back." Or your unknown child..... (Ok, Yoshio doesn't know Sakura told Kaiba yet) Yoshio smirked at his thought. Kaiba growled and pushed past him to his limo. He glanced at Sakura who was kissing Hiro's forehead good-bye. He left his limo door open after he got in and soon Sakura got in. The door was shut and the limo started to move."Sakura..." Sakura smiled happily at him."Kaiba, I've lost everything. My company, my son, and my life." Her eyes were unusually cold and distant. Kaiba was silent. If Yoshio did to him what he did to her, he would've fought back with everything he had; not give up like she was. Kaiba stared at Sakura's form intently. She really was back. It was her. The mother of his child but then again, it wasn't her. Something in her changed. She noticed he was staring and smiled at him."Something wrong Kaiba?" Kaiba's gaze turned cold."Did something happen in America?" Maybe that's why something was off. She blinked confusedly."What do you mean?" Kaiba tched in annoyance."You know what I mean. You seem, different." She sighed. Sakura leaned her head back onto the seat and closed her eyes."I don't know. You're the first to mention that. I guess it's a little hard for me to trust everyone again. When I was giving birth, I never felt so alone. I'm sorry, it's my fault I never kept contact with anyone." Kaiba held Sakura's hand comfortingly. She squeezed in reply."I'll get Hiro back. Don't worry about that." Sakura looked over at Kaiba and smiled widely. She felt that a large weight on her shoulders was lifted, and she was free to breath again."Thank you. You don't know how much this means to me." Kaiba pulled her into an embrace and smiled also. Sakura's heart felt whole again. Sakura felt that feeling, where you lost something and then all of a sudden, got it back when you already have given up on it. It was obvious what it seemed to the world; she was falling in love all over again."Kaiba, what do you think of being a father?" asked Sakura, who now held Kaiba tightly. Kaiba's face twisted in concentration."Well, it's different. He certainly has my eyes and looks but his hair and childish attitude is certainly from you." Kaiba said with a smirk. Sakura poked his chest."Come on. You can share." Sakura said coaxingly which made his smirk bigger."How far are you willing to go just to get an answer from me?" He purred in her ear, making shivers go down her spine."Pervert." Sakura said with a bright blush. Kaiba chuckled."I could be implying many things and yet you automatically think of the perverted things. Do you miss me that badly?" Kaiba smirked triamphuntly when he saw her blush brighten. She hid her face in his chest."You would want me to sate your desires, wouldn't you?" Kaiba whispered into her ear. He felt her shiver but she kept silent. He sighed."Your the difficult one. Not me." Kaiba leaned his head back onto the seat and closed his eyes to sleep. Sakura was still and silent within his arms. I'm sorry Kaiba but there are still some things that happened between you and me that are still blank. A single tear fell and she quickly wiped it away. Like the moment she first realized she was in love with him.Yami was drawing circles boredly with his finger on the glass. Yugi was sweeping out front of the shop. I don't get it. What's with Yoshio? What was with Kaiba? Wasn't he glad to see her? Yami growled at the thought of Sakura and Kaiba together. He didn't like it. Yami sighed. Am I still in love? I was so sure I capped whatever feelings I had for her when she left. Yami stared out the window unmoving. Yugi walked in and set the broom beside the door."Hey, Yami, we can go out if you'd like. I think Bakura is coming over to take over for us." Yugi smiled but Yami didn't seem to notice."Hellooooo? Yamiiiiiiii?" Yugi waved a hand in front of Yami's face but he still didn't reply. Yugi walked towards the kitchen and rummaged in the cubboards. It took awhile till Yugi found what he was looking for. Yugi went back up to Yami."Yami, this is your last chance." Yami still didn't reply. Yugi brought back his arm and hit Yami on the back of the head with a frying pan. Yami collapsed into a heap on the floor, knocked out cold. Yugi sweat dropped."Ooops..." The bell chimed from the store door."Hello, Yugi! Sorry I'm la----" Bakura's eyes went big at the sight of Yugi holding a frying pan and Yami crumpled on the floor. Bakura quickly covered his mouth."Bakura, he wasn't listening so I got a frying pan and hit him over the head but I didn't hit him hard and he still knocked out on the floor and-----" Bakura erupted in a fit of laughter, enterupting Yugi's frantic talking."Bakura?" Bakura's laughter died down into chuckles till he talked again."Yugi, why would you even think to hit him with a frying pan?" Yugi's expression turned innocent."I thought he would notice but he didn't so I thought to knock some sense into him!" Bakura chuckled more."But, a frying pan! That's priceless!" A moan of pain issued forth from Yami and Yugi shot Bakura a panicked face. Bakura smiled. Yugi quickly shoved the frying pan into Bakura's hands as soon as Yami began to rise."My head... What happened?" Yami asked. He saw Bakura holding the frying pan and Yugi nervously looking at Bakura."Yugi...." Yami said in a low threatening tone. Yugi pointed at Bakura who quickly pointed back at Yugi. Yami mumbled angrily and gave a glare at the two boys. Yugi smiled nervously then quickly ran out the store."YUGI!!!!" Yami yelled then bolted after his hikari. Bakura chuckled and set the frying pan on the counter. The bell chimed."My, the Pharoah seems to be in a foul mood." A familiar voice sounded. Bakura turned around and gasped. Malik stood at the doorway with Ryou and surprisingly enough, Yami Malik also."What are you all doing here?" Bakura asked nervously. Ryou chuckled."Is that a way to great your Yami? Simple mortals have no manners I see." He smirked. Bakura flinched. The bell chimed twice more immediately followed by gasps. Yami and Yugi came back."Why is the tomb robber here with these vermin?" Yami asked quietly and threateningly. The three visitors growled in responce."Pharoah, you should learn your place in this world. It's very unwise to insult us when we clearly outnumber you..." Malik said through gritted teeth. Yugi stepped in between everyone."Now, now..... Let's all just try to get along please?" Everyone but Bakura and Yugi scoffed and turned their backs to eachother. Bakura figeted nervously."Ummmm.... Y-Yugi, what should I do t-today?" Ryou eyed his hikari curiously. Yugi smiled."Well, today is pretty laid back. Just wait for customers and wing it." I wonder why he's figeting... Bakura smiled and made a nervous laugh which only added to the tension within the room. Ryou sighed."Ok, that's it! I'm tired and hungry! Somebody, feed me!!" Everyone fell over anime style. Bakura relaxed a little."Come with me. I'll make you something in the kitchen." Ryou smirked and followed his hikari. Yami Malik yawned and glared at Yami."I suppose Yami is still mad that I stepped on his foot." Malik said crossly to Yugi. Yugi chuckled but Yami growled."Well, I guess. Maybe if you apologized, Yami wouldn't be so mad." Yugi said with a hinting tone. Malik scoffed."Whatever. That Pharoah needs to learn manners. He still acts all high and mighty." Yami punched the wall in anger; his fist went through the wall."Shut up! You don't even understand why I hate both you and your Yami so much!" Yami yelled. He pulled his fist out and walked out the store angrily. Malik blinked."What else did I do?" Malik asked cluelessly. Yugi chuckled slightly."I think your Yami is to blame. He wasn't all too great when we first met, remember?" Yugi smiled strangely while eyeing Yami Malik from the corner of his eye."What?!! He still hates me for that?!! That was ages ago!! I thought he was mad becuase I told Anzu he wears pink thongs!" Yugi sweat dropped."Pink thongs??" Yugi asked disgustedly. Malik sneered."I made it up." Yugi just looked at him blankly but sighed eventually."Almost killing the one Yami loved at the time and knocking me out would make him mad still." Yugi said dryly. Yami Malik growled."It wasn't by choice." He said almost to himself. Yugi turned towards him with the a serious expression."What do you mean?" Yugi asked skeptically."This guy, Yoshio, blackmailed me." Mumbled Yami Malik. Yugi took a sharp intake of breath as Malik looked away in shame."How'd he blackmail you?" Yugi asked quietly. Yami Malik was silent but it was Malik who answered."He threatened to kill me, my sister, and Rashid. If I died, so does he." The room took on a deathly silence."What's with you?" Ryou said while chugging a glass of milk. Bakura put away the bread for Ryou's sandwhich and looked at his Yami curiously."What do you mean?" Ryou slammed the now empty glass onto the counter, a little milk trikeling down his chin."Don't try to lie to me. You know what I mean. It's too easy to tell when you mortals try to hide something." Bakura came up to Ryou and wiped the milk off Ryou's face with his finger, causing Ryou to flinch in surprise."I'm fine. Are you staying at my apartment tonight or somewhere with Malik and his Yami?" Bakura leaned against the counter, expressionless. Ryou snorted."With you. Is that a problem?" Bakura smirked much like his counterpart."No, I was merely curious." Ryou countered with his own smirk."Oh? Why isn't that too convincing? For some reason, I'd think your jelous." Bakura frowned at Ryou's comment. Am I jelous? Yes, I am.
"I am jelous. You feel proud now?" Ryou hid his surprise well."Yes, I am." Ryoud smirked even bigger at Bakura's sour look. Bakura sighed and avoided Ryou's gaze."You lost your chance. Don't try to take back what you said or did. I'll never forgive you." Ryou said quietly but threateningly. Bakura smiled sadly."I know. I won't try to take back what I can't. I'm going back to work." Bakura turned to leave but paused at the door."The keys to the apartment is under the mat like always. Don't go back on what you said to me that day either. That's the only thing keeping me from breaking me down. Hatred is a powerfull thing." Bakura gave his Yami one last look out of the corner of his eye and then left Ryou alone in the kitchen. Ryou recognized that look. It was pure and bitter hatred. Ryou growled and slammed his fist on the counter."Dammit. Damn it all!" Ryou ran his hand through his hair.---Flashback---"Hikari, I admitted to you how I felt. Say something!" Ryou shouted at Bakura, who's face remained blank. Ryou growled in frustration."You're not going to give me a chance will you?" Bakura sighed sadly."I can't. I've already got someone else." Ryou curled his hands into fists."So, that's how it's going to be... Fine! I'm leaving!" Ryou turned to leave but Bakura quickly grabbed his arm."Wait! Where are you going?" Ryou growled and pulled his arm away from Bakura, causing Bakura to lose balance and fall. Bakura was shocked."I'm going with Malik to Egypt! I can't spend another minute in this hell hole! Bakura, I don't ever want you around me again! It would have been better if you were never my hikari!" Ryou stalked off leaving a very hurt Bakura on the floor."But, I'm in love with you..." Whispered Bakura.---End Flashback---Ryou fiddeled with a paper napkin, that moment replaying in his mind. Did I mean that? Ryou growled and clenched his fists tighter. Why does these mortal feelings always get in the way?! Ryou sighed frustratingly and sat on the counter, thinking of what to do.Yami walked angrily around Domino. Damn him, damn that Malik! Yami kicked a can out of his way. Passerbys only looked on at him in distaste before walking the other way. Yami would only glare in reply. After his anger calmed down to silent murmers, Yami then realized he walked far from the area he was familiar with."Damn! Where am I?!" Yami looked around him only to be more confused. Yami sighed and leaned against the closest building. Music was playing softly, calming Yami's nerves even further. A door clicked open and then closed but Yami had his eyes closed, listening to the music."Yami? What are you doing here?" Yami opened his eyes to see Anzu looking at him curiously."Anzu?" Anzu smiled. Just what is he doing here?
"I thought you quit dancing." Anzu's smile faltered slightly."No, I just quit dancing in New York." Yami smiled slightly."I always wondered why---" Anzu suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him towards a direction."Since your here, let's go grab a bite to eat! I'm starved!" Yami chuckled and allowed Anzu to tug him along. He soon forgot his question.Yugi paced the store, thinking, running explanations through his mind. No, Sakura wouldn't work for Yoshio. She couldn't have. Malik and Yami Malik watched in amusement at the pacing boy. Bakura suddenly stepped in."Hey guys. What's going on?" Yugi looked up at Bakura and smiled."Nothing, I'm just thinking." Bakura smiled. Malik sighed."I'm bored. Yugi, do you know of any place me and my aibou can stay at?" Yugi smiled once more."Yea, there's the Imperial Hotel just down the street from here. You can't miss it. It's to big to not notice!" Yami Malik was already out the door, cuasing Malik to chuckle."Ok, thanks. Maybe I'll see you sometime." Malik waved good-bye and left also. Yugi sighed and sat on the counter."Yugi?""I don't know what to do." Yugi hid his face in his hands. Bakura's voice softened to try and calm Yugi."What do you mean? Is everything ok?" Yugi breathed in deeply then let his breath out slowly before looking back up."I think my sister is in trouble." Bakura sighed and set a hand on Yugi's shoulder for comfort."I'm sure everything will be fine. Don't worry about it." Yugi sighed then smiled."Maybe you're right. Thanks." Bakura's smile brightened."Anytime." They both jumped when Ryou burst through the door."I'm leaving." Ryou said plainly and left the store. Yugi chuckled."That goes to show how tense the room really was." Both boys laughed.The limo pulled up to the front of the arcade which was noticeably busy. Kaiba stared out the window expresionless. Sakura only stared at her feet sadly."Sakura, I want our son safe. Can you even handle a child right now?" Sakura looked up at Kaiba who was looking away from her."Of course! He's my son! How can I not be prepared to take care of him!" Kaiba turned to look back at Sakura with his usual cold expression."Personally, I think Hiro would be safer with me." Sakura was silent. Families walked by the limo to enter the arcade which only increased the weight of guilt on Sakura's heart."Are you saying that I don't know how to take care of him?" Kaiba sighed."No, that's not what I was trying to imply. Just forget that. I knew this would go nowhere." Sakura looked down, shadows covering her eyes."Did you just want to take Hiro into your home instead? I mean, I guess your right. I wouldn't be a very good parent." She said the last sentence quietly so Kaiba didn't hear."Yes, I guess that's what I want. Is that ok with you?" The weight returned onto Sakura's shoulders."Kaiba, who do you consider as a family to you?" Can I even be in your life as a wife? As part of your family? Kaiba was silent for a few moments."Mokuba of course and Hiro cuase he's my son." Kaiba stated plainly like it was already obvious. Sakura kept her gaze from looking into his eyes."I guess I should be going then." She got out of the limo quickly and inside the arcade. Kaiba stared after her in surprise. Why is she so upset? Sakura immediately rushed to her room and closed the door. As if on cue her cell phone rang. She took it out of her pocket and put it to her ear."Hello?" Sakura said quietly but loud enough for the person to hear."Hello, Sakura." Sakura's blood ran cold. She knew that voice."Yoshio...." There was a chuckle on the other line which only added to Sakura's startled state."Sakura, so nice to hear that voice of yours. Unfortunately, this is a business call so no time to chat about pleseantries. I have a propersition for you that I'm sure you can't deny." Sakura took a sharp intake of breath and released it slowly."What do you have to offer?" Sakura felt as if she just signed off her soul to the devil himself. Yoshio sounded happy."I'll spare your little boyfriend and your friends if you come back and work for me. I'll even hand over custody to you if you'd like. Hell, I'd hand over my company to you also! Thing is, I'd own you still, so you'd only just run the company for me temperarily and give me back control when I feel like it." Sakura was silent. She couldn't believe she was actually thinking about it. But why do it?
"What's the catch?" Sakura asked hesitently. Yoshio chuckled."So suspicious but yes there is a catch. You can't ever see your boyfriend and your son after you come back to work for me also you have to live on company property." Yoshio sounded pleased. Sakura closed her eyes, weighing out her options. If I did this then Kaiba would get what he wanted and Yoshio wouldn't hurt him or her friends. I'd get the company but I can't see Kaiba or Hiro ever again. Why is seeing Kaiba so important now? He doesn't consider me as a family member, just some woman who had his child. Hiro could live a better life with Kaiba. Like he said, I'm not able to take care of him. Kaiba would be rid of anouther woman who is hopelessly infactuated with him.
"I'll do it. When does apply?" Yoshio's voice was almost dripping with satisfaction."You have one day." The line was hung up, leaving Sakura to listen to the dial tone of the phone. She hung up slowly and stared blankly at her walls. This was the end. She really did sell her soul to the devil.Mokuba pace the length of the living room the next day, grumbling. He glanced up every once in awhile at passing maids or butlers, but always continued his pacing."Big brother.... Where the hell are you...?" Mumbled Mokuba but stopped as soon as the front door opened then closed. Mokuba ran towards the source."Big brother! You can't believe what just happened!" Mokuba stopped and stared at his disgruntled brother. Kaiba raised an eyebrow in question at Mokuba."Seto, Yoshio Amaki annouced this morning world wide that he's turning his company to Sakura! And she has a kid also! Did you know that?!!" Mokuba was excited but Kaiba was left in shock. What is he up to? Kaiba pulled out his cell and walked briskly into the living room."Hello? Sakura? Yes, I heard what happened. No, I'm not angry, why?" Kaiba was silent a moment."What?!!" Mokuba jumped at his brother's sudden shout."Seto, what's wrong?" Mokuba asked as soon as Kaiba hung up the phone. Kaiba's eyes flashed angrily."Nothing. I have to go to the company." Kaiba left without further explanation. Mokuba sighed and turned on the T.V. to the channel showing Yoshio. He glared into the camera the whole time he talked, making the room cold and uncomfortable."I turn over my company to Sakura Motou. My career as a business-man in teporarily over. I am no longer CEO of Amaki Enterprises..." Yoshio's voice rang throughout the room, adding to the tension, droning on about his times with the company. Mokuba sat thinking. Just what is going on? I thought Seto would be happy.
Bakura awoke bright and early to go work at the Kame Game shop. He walked into the living room to get to the kitchen and spotted Ryou sleeping on the couch. Ryou looked peaceful. Bakura noticed the covers kicked off onto the ground and smiled. He picked them up and lay them on Ryou's form. Bakura paused after he was done then turned to go into the kitchen for breakfast."What's this for?" Ryou suddenly asked, still laying down and his eyes closed. He pretended that he was asleep! Bakura turned to Ryou's direction slightly."What?" Ryou opened his eyes and got up, shoving the covers off slightly."The blanket. Feeling guilty and decided to make up for it?" Ryou sneered. Bakura ignored his comment and just went into the kitchen to cook. Ryou snickered."What's so funny?" Bakura asked crossly as he rummaged in the refridge for eggs. Ryou smirked while looking at the wall across from him."I remember when you first did that. I woke up while you tried to lay that wretched blanket on me and you jumped so high, I swear you flew." Bakura scowled at the memory. Ryou continued."All I ever had to do to intimidate you was look at you crossly and you'd be shaking in fear. Whatever happened?" Ryou asked no one in particular."You decided to confess your feelings and left. That's what happened." Ryou looked over at Bakura who was ignoring him while cooking eggs. Ryou sighed. He wasn't going to get anymore conversation from his hikari."I'm hungry. Cook me something." Bakura glared at Ryou who only smirked in reply."I'm not your slave." Ryou chuckled as he got up and strode towards the door."Then I'll be going out then. If you want to find me, I'll be at Malik's hotel most likely." Before Bakura could make a comment, Ryou had already left. Bakura sighed and ran his hand through his hair. If I hadn't thought he didn't like me before I went out with that woman then he'd still be here.
Anzu stretched out while yawning. She hardly got any sleep after her day with Yami. It was so unexpected to see him at the dance studio she was currently working at. She sighed and got up to dress. Anzu slipped on a yellow tangtop, a black skirt, and some platform shoes. She looked herself in the mirror and frowned. I can't even compete Sakura's looks. Why does she have to have both Kaiba's and Yami's hearts? Anzu wanted at least one of their hearts but Yami couldn't be hers and neither can Kaiba. Yami is still hung up on Sakura, he even confessed that to me over our meal and Kaiba just won't even look my way much less want to go out with me. Anzu moaned out in frustration and left her house. She left it unlocked for her parents when they got home. Anzu walked towards the Kame Game Shop, hoping Yami would at least come back to her. She practically ran towards the shop but slowed down once it came into view, Yugi out front sweeping."Yugi!! Hey!!" Anzu shouted happily. Yugi looked up and waved. Anzu ran the remainig distance towards him."Yugi, I was wondering if Yami was here?" Yugi forcefully smiled."Yes, he's upstairs sleeping still I think. You can go wake him up for me if you'd like." Anzu smiled and ran inside. Her heart pounded as she made her way upstairs. The bedroom door was open a crack and Anzu peeked inside. Yami lay on his bed sleeping peacefully, making Anzu smile. She crept in and sat down gently on his bed. Yami didn't stir and she gazed at his form. He was shirtless and only in boxers, making Anzu blush. Anzu giggled and lay a hand on his arm to shake him."Sakura...." Anzu froze and looked at his face alarmed."Sakura, why won't you come back.........?" Anzu frowned and withdrew her hand. She held back the tears threatening to come, her eyes looking as if she'd cry any minute. Yami stirred and suddenly wrapped his arms around Anzu's waist, starteling her. Yami smiled as he snuggled into her form and slept peacefully once more. Anzu blushed like mad but made no effort to move. She could feel his breath on her hip, sending shivers down her spine. Why can't he hold me like this at least when he's awake? Am I that pathetic to only be held him when he's asleep? Anzu sighed sadly and shook Yami. His eyes fluttered and suddenly he jumped back, his eyes wide."Anzu?!! What are you doing here?!!" Anzu smiled, concealing her previous thoughts."I was off today and thought we could hang out. Is that ok?" Yami blinked and nodded. Just what was I thinking? She must think I'm a total ass for hugging up on her when I'm alseep. She might think I do that with Yugi!
"Uh... I'll leave the room so you can change. I'll be downstairs with Yugi." Yami nodded in a stupor. Anzu left with a wide smile and closed the door. That was strange.
Sakura stood behind the counter of the arcade, helping customers who approached her. A long line was soon created as Sakura tried to help each one."I wanna turn in tickets for that card!" A little kid shouted excitedly."That'll be 20 tickets." The kid handed her a handful of red tickets as she gave him the card. The kid rushed to his mom immediately."Mommy! Mommy! Look what I got!" The kid laughed as he held his mother's hand. Sakura's heart panged at the sight."Take over for me. I'll handle the games instead." Sakura said to Jounouchi."Alright." Sakura walked off and around the arcade. Everywhere she turned, there were children laughing, holding hands with their parents. She longed to live a life with her son like that and it would be nice to have Kaiba there with them along with Mokuba and Yugi. Sakura sighed and just tried to ignore the happy families."Sakura." Sakura turned to see Kaiba standing there in his outfit he had worn during Battle City."What?" She asked coldly. It didn't faze him. He grabbed her arm and drug her to her room, slamming the door shut. Sakura finally got out of Kaiba's grasp and she backed into a wall."What did you do?" Kaiba asked menacingly. Sakura's legs went weak under his cold glare but she fought hard not to collapse."Nothing. I didn't do anything." Kaiba growled."Bullshit! You know you did something to make him hand over his damned company! What did he offer you?!" Sakura clenched her fists."He would give you cutody of our son to you, give me control of the company, and all I had to do was stay away from the both of you!" The room was silent."Why would you do a thing like that?" He asked silently. Sakura looked down, avoiding Kaiba's haunting gaze."It's my fault. You wanted your son and now you have him. I got my company and more back. If Hiro were to stay with me, he'd only be taken away again. At least like this, Hiro would have a chance and you'd be rid of me." A single tear fell and it felt like the whole world was taken from Sakura. Kaiba left the room silently, leaving her to her choice."I'm sorry. Good-bye Hiro.......... Seto........." Then Sakura finally broke down and cried.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------And that's anouther chapter of my story! Yay! Finally, huh?
