Disclaimer: The Yu-Gi-Oh characters are not mine, now let's get on with it.
Hi everybody. I know that last one was pretty short, it's just slightly hard to get into the first few chapters. So hopefully…I'm doing this one longer. Err…let's begin, na no da.
Chapter Four: Black and White Obstinacy
Early morning
All I can hope is that Yugi wasn't expecting last evening a bluff. Ha, me bluff, ha.
I walk into the card shop, noticing the slightly hesitant step as I do. God, this is crap.
A small sigh instantly reaches my ears.
"Seto, I'm sticking to my word…"
"Even you have a price Yugi." I'll find out precisely what that price is.
"But this is different-"
"Besides, I stated clearly yesterday that I would visit again, did I not?"
I watch as he ponders, going through the conversation of last night. "Yes…you did but-"
I laugh. "Surely you don't believe I was joking?"
"No…"
"Hmm, well, I am more stubborn than anyone you know."
"I know…"
"Yugi-! Oh…uh…holly! Seto Kaiba? What is he doing in here?"
I turn at the intruder to see a tall slender brunette not sure what to think of me.
I smirk. "Ah, Teá. Where's your-"
My question instantly answered as a blond female walks in behind her wife, and the most shocking unexpected thing about her is- "The butch lesbian knocked up? I thought you two were married."
This pulls immediate furry out of the blond woman as she stalks over to me and points a finger right in my face.
"You pompous ass hole! I may be tough, but I did want a kid. So fuck you. And wait, how did you know about me and-"
"Yugi."
They both gasp and pull away but the finger is still in my face. "Y-you two aren't-? Ohmigod! Yugi! You wouldn't-"
"C-certainly not! We are not doing anything! Seto is just-"
"Seto? Why are you calling him that?"
"Because he can." I'm quite done with the yelling. "And if you don't get your finger out of my face I'm going to shove it down your throat."
She takes her hand away and just glares at me. And people wonder why I hate women.
"Please don't fight. Seto's just here for business."
"Business? Your company already rules the world! Why do you want Yugi's place? Besides Kaiba, this is all Yugi has left of his grandfather! How could be so heartless as to-"
"One, shut up for a second. Two, I'm not taking it away. There's a difference between owning and taking. However, that is something I would not expect someone like yourself to understand."
"That's not true! Owning and taking are the same thing!"
"Owning, doesn't mean I'm taking it away. It means it will just be another piece of my company. Taking, would mean I'd kick Yugi's ass to the curb."
"But-"
"Teá," thank god. If she said one more thing I was going to throw her out the door. Through the window I might add. "I don't think Kaiba wants to take it from Yugi." At least one of them understands. "However, it doesn't seem like Yugi wants to give this place up. Taking it or not."
"An obstacle easily fixed." These people are exteremly keen on challenging me. Well then, let the games begin.
"Listen you! If Yugi doesn't want to be bothered then don't-"
"T-Teá…"
"Umm…oh my gosh!"
"Fuck, my water broke…"
"……"
"……"
"……"
"……" …oh, the irony of things.
"We need to get to hospital!"
They all look over at me. This was not how I was picturing my day to go. Not even in my wildest dreams… "Fine, we're leaving now."
I'm out the door without even thinking. I may never want to do a favor for them, but childbirth is not something to be messed with.
We're in my limo in a flash. I give the orders with a little too much ease. "To the hospital."
"Right away, sir."
I've barely been in situations like this, but I already know to stay completely calm.
We're speeding down the road, turning smoothly so not to affect anything with Mai. It's amusing how many cops we pass and they don't even budge. No one messes with me. I practically am the law.
As we turn another corner I hear the question before it's even voiced by Yugi.
"Seto, where are you taking us?"
Predictable. "To my private hospital. Better doctors and you won't have to wait or have some piss ant staring at you."
None of them say another word as we pull up to the entrance and rush into the building.
"Sir what's-"
"Take care of her. Name, Mai Valentine."
"What's going on sir?"
"I think you can figure out what's going on." Like I needed to state the obvious...dumb ass.
The nurse's eyes widen realizing the situation, so she rushes over to Mai. "Oh my, right this way." Teá and the nurse quickly walk her to a room down the hall with doctors right behind.
And now, we play the waiting game.
Well, there's no point to wait and get nothing done. I pull out my laptop. This may take a while.
Later...It's been an hour and a half, I've gotten nothing done. ...why am I wasting my life here again?
I sigh and look at the other member in this room. He's not even doing anything. Is he that worried?
…Wait. What do I care? Being in this atmosphere is taking a toll on my nerves.
Screw this. I'm doing something else. Hmm…ah a game of minesweeper. To start with my usual spot, top right corner. Hmm, a considerable amount eliminated, ah a one…so then obviously the mine is here. …perfect, now to continue. Hmm…this corner shall do. A three…hmm, since there's four squares around, then it has to be-wait. I to the side and see Yugi right next to me, watching every single move. "Can I help you?"
"There's a mine right there." He points to the middle of my screen. Ha, amateur.
"Actually you're wrong." I smirk at him. I look back to the screen, ready to make my move. But hold on a second. It's true, there is a bomb there. "…damn you, you're right."
He smiles in triumph at me. how dare he think he's out witted me. I'll show him. "So then Yugi-"
"Kaiba! You need to talk to him!"
"To who-" I have a phone shoved in my hand before I even know who the fuck is ordering me around. I'll comply just this once for my own reasons. "Seto Kaiba here."
"Hey man you really need to call your goons off me!"
I pull the phone away from my ear at the volume of the bastard on the other line. The nerve of some to speak to me so casually. "Who is this?"
"What do ya mean you don' know who this is?"
The voice is annoying enough. …wait…that Brooklyn accent…the dog. "Oh, Wheeler. What do you want?"
"I need to get in this hospital but the friggin' guards won let me in!"
"And why do you need to get in here."
"I'm fuckin' father here?"
I pause. Somewhere in my mind that makes sense but that's still a slight shock. "You…a father? It seems the worlds morals are all gone now."
"Fuck you man! Don' mess with me! I just wanna see my kid!"
"Yours?"
"So it's legally Teá's and Mai's, sue me! I'm still the downer!"
"Who in their right mind would want your genes?"
"Shut up! Just let me in ok?"
"You obviously forget who you are talking to Wheeler. I have the power to kick your ass back to America. So I would be a little nicer if I were in your position."
I hear him growl on the other end. "…fine damnit. I'm sorry, I just wanna see my kid, kay?"
"That's better, give me to one of the men."
"Sir?"
"Let him in."
"Yes sir."
I close the cell-phone and throw it back to its owner. "He'll be on his way."
"You're such a creep! How could you be so mean to Joey?"
I cross my legs and lean on my hand, how boring their lectures get. "Quite simple, he treated me so casually that I stalled his reward. He really is like a dog. A poorly trained one, but a dog none the less."
"You should go to-"
"Teá, just let it go."
"How could you be on his side? He treated Joey horribly!"
"I know but-"
"I'm here! Where is she? What's going on? What gender? Is there any problems? What's its name-?"
"Joey calm down! No, not yet, so just relax!"
"Eh…?" he's completely out of breath…how sad. "Oh…ok." I watch him take a seat next to Yugi. …I still have trouble believing Yugi stood up for me…
"So…she doing alright?"
"Yeah…" that answer was so unsure. I wonder if there are complications. "…I'm going to go back to her."
"Do you want me to-"
"No, stay Joey, just calm down." She walks back to the room Mai is currently residing in and Wheeler sits back down, slumping slightly. Why is he so worried?
"It will be fine Joey. Don't worry, Mai's extremely strong, she won't give up."
"Yea'…just think…I wonder if the kid'll look like me."
"If it's a boy I'm sure he'll look just like you."
"Nah…I wouldn't wish that on my kid."
"Who would?"
"Who asked you?"
"I was generous enough to take them here. Now tell me who's asking."
"…fuck you."
"Ha, you may be a dog but the thought is just too much."
"I'm gunna-!" Yugi grabs his midriff while I remain calmly in my seat. Let him come.
"Try me Wheeler. I'm curious to see if you can back up the bullshit you dish out."
"Oh I'll dish it alright buddy! Just get over here!"
"Joey, please-"
"Stop, you're making a fool of yourself. This is a hospital, remember?" I put a finger to my lips and smirk as he falls limp in Yugi's arms. "Inside voices Wheeler."
"…prick." He sits back down and my smirk broadens as he folds his arms, and the pout that spreads his features reminds me of our younger day rivalries. Wheeler never did like to lose much. Pity he chose me as his enemy.
Yugi sits down as well, knowing the fighting is sustained for now. Amusing or not, even Wheeler should know this is no time for arguments.
"…hope this goes fast and easy for Mai…"
"Me too Joey, but you can't guarantee that."
"I'd actually like to know what birth is easy? Can you even imagine the pain women go through?" I cringe at the thought. I reason I'm glade to be male and gay. I never have to go through it and I never have to cause it.
A few hours later"Well, the birth was a complete success."
Ah, finally. I don't how many games I've played of minesweeper.
"She ok dock? The baby?"
"Yes, an almost perfect birth. The baby is seven pounds four ounces, and seems to be completely normal."
I hear the entire room give a sigh of relief. There's only one question he hasn't answered for Wheeler.
"So…boy or girl?"
"The baby's gender is-"
