The next morning Yami was startled awake by Yugi, the little one had turned over quickly and accidentally rolled over onto his husband's arm; the little one seemed to be in pain. He shook Yugi gently to wake him and the little one's eyes shot open,

"Yugi what's wrong?" he asked cuddling up to him and rubbing his stomach.

"Bad dream very bad dream," Yugi said holding his stomach and curling up.

"Yami I don't feel so good," Yugi said bowing his head enough to reach his knees.

"It's okay Yugi, it was just a dream, nothings going to hurt you," Yami said rubbing the little one's stomach, lovingly, rocking him. Yugi suddenly broke away from Yami and rushed to the bathroom, giving in to the awful pain that was wrenching his gut, he threw up all blood into the toilet; it felt like his insides were being ripped out very slowly. Yami came into the bathroom right behind his little lover,

"Yugi," he said kneeling next to him and rubbing his back gently as he wretched up more blood into the toilet; he finally stopped, though, and Yami checked his eyes just to be on the safe side, he picked up his hurting husband and sat him on the counter, cleaning him up, the little one moaning and trying to curl up as his stomach was pressed.

"Shhh, sh, sh, it's okay, you must have just gotten a bug," Yami said having cleaned him up, he carried him back to the bed with the trash bin to sit next to the bed, just in case. Yami crawled into bed behind him, spooning into his back as he wrapped his arms around his stomach, rubbing gently, he listened for a moment to the little one's erratic heart beat making sure there wasn't anything wrong. Yugi curled up tightly, shutting his eyes as he was lulled into a pain filled sleep by the warmth of Yami's body; his dreams plagued again by awful chants, horrible smells, screaming, and pain.

-----------------------------------------------dream----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's dark, really dark it's impossible to see anything,

"help me!" Yugi cried as the pain washed over him the little one curled into a ball in pain,

"There is no one to save you" growled a voice the chanting was coming from it the pain increased it felt like he was being turned inside out screams and blood ripped from his throat

"Yami! Help me!" he cried lying in his own blood as the chanting cotinued to get louder and louder.

"stop your pitiful crying!" the voice demanded and the feeling of a hand strangling him hit his body,

"you will die at my hands" the voice hissed the chanting stopped and everything went white he heard a woman screaming and an image appeared before him, a man with black hair and a tanned body he had completely red eyes and a crown that stuck up beyond his hair with two squared off ears. Yugi stared fearfully up at him he was holding a pair of bloody crying babies and behind him lay the bloodied body of a woman, dead. Yugi let out a horrified scream. and all went dark again.

"you will die by my hand" hissed the voice quietly and then it all went away and numbness surrounded his body leaving him to cry still horrified by the sight.

-----------------------------------------------end dream--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yugi awoke a few hours later, trembling and covered in sweat, the gut wrenching pain stopped instantly and Yugi reached up to whipe the tears from his eyes. Yami was still asleep behind him, snoring like always, Yugi smiled and got up, slightly woozy still, he regained his balance and went to the bathroom, putting the washcloth over Yami's face again smiling. He turned on the shower and laid out his clothes, getting in he began to scrub his body over with his own washcloth when he noticed something, his chest was... bigger. Yugi looked down at his body quickly 'no!' he thought feeling himself over, he had breasts, female breasts, and other 'parts' weren't where they were supposed to be!

"YAMI!" Yugi shrieked, getting out of the shower quickly and wrapping a towel around his new boddice, rushing back into the bedroom. Yami was sitting up, startled, he had the wash cloth in his hand and had looked over just as he came through the door. Yugi's eyes widened, scared, as Yami got out of the bed, her knees weakened and came together, trying to stay standing; she gripped the towel to her body standing stock still.

"Y-y-yami," she whispered quietly in her panic, she hadn't thought of how Yami would react to this sudden drastic change. Yami came around the bed staring warily at Yugi, not recognizing her as his former husband, he started to approach her and she bolted running out of the bedroom.

"Hey! wait!" Yami shouted angrily, suspecting that this woman had snuck into their house and hurt Yugi. Yugi ran as fast as she could, trying to think and run, at the same time getting away from an angry Yami; Seto and Jou could help him, they always helped him before when he had needed it, she looked over her shoulder to see Yami following her, easily gaining on her, she being the much younger less developed vampire. She turned down the hall way to Seto and Jou's room and hit the door, quickly slipping inside, not caring whether she caught them in the middle of something. She locked the door and threw her back against it, panting, her eyes still wide with fear as she still held the towel to her body.

"Who's there?" Seto called, always the light sleeper, as he sat up looking towards the door.

"It's me... Yugi," Yugi whispered still clinging to the door just in case Seto didn't accept her either.

"You aren't Yugi, Yugi is a boy, and his hair stands up more, who are you?" Seto said standing and coming closer.

"It's me! it's me, Yugi, you and Jou love each other, you guys were the first ones to tell me I was a vampire! Please good gods don't hurt me!" Yugi cried breaking down and dropping to her knees and covering her head, crying as Seto stepped up to her. He kneeled down next to her small, trembling, form looking her over, the scars in the shape of the word mine were engraved on her shoulder just like Yugi, he brought the vampiress's arms off her head and put his hand under her jaw lifting her head to look at him; Yugi stared up at Seto, tears blurring her vision as the panic attack wracked her body. Seto looked deep into her eyes, they were the same clear violet as Yugi's; he went even further and sat Yugi up. He began to peal the damp towel off of her when, out of shear instinct, Yugi slapped him and held the towel to her body again, tears still streaming down her face.

"What's your name? And don't lie," Seto warned rubbing his cheek where the female had slapped him.

"I am Yugi, please Seto you've got to believe me, I woke up this morning like this, if you must, listen to my heart there aren't many that have a beat like mine," Yugi cried curling up on herself and hiding her pretty face. Seto stared at the scared little vampiress in front of him, alarmed, but pulled her towards himself anyway, resting an ear against the back of her shoulder, sure enough he heard it, the irregular beat that only Yugi's heart had.

"Yugi?" he asked softly wrapping his arms around her.

"Seto help me, I'm scared, Yami doesn't know it's me, he's waiting out side the door to jump me," Yugi pleaded, her heart racing faster than it should and going borderline to needing its pills.

"It's going to be all right Yugi, I'll talk to him for you if you want me to," Seto cooed softly to him, realizing this was a heart breaking matter to Yugi, he was scared of his own husband.

"Please Seto," Yugi sniffled looking back tearfully at the blue eyed vampire.

"It'll be all right Yugi I'll handle him, now, can you walk any further or do you need help?" Seto said standing up, Yugi tried to follow him, but her legs fell from under her and she was sent sprawling on the floor again.

"I'll take that as a no," Seto said reaching down and picking Yugi up off the floor, holding her carefully like she was made of glass. Yugi curled into Seto's chest, sniffling still, the older vampire walked back over to his bed and sat Yugi there, he unbuttoned his nightshirt and gave it to Yugi, it was very oversized for her especially now.

"You can put that on for now until we get Yami straight, I'll turn around if you want, Jou won't wake up," he said as the female Yugi cast a glance back at Jou who was still sound asleep. True to his word Seto turned around for Yugi, even he knew how modest women could be. Yugi took off the towl she had had wrapped around her body and put on Seto's nightshirt, buttoning it up as far as it could go both ways; when Seto turned back around Yugi was staring up at him with a pleading look again and it practically melted Seto's heart as he picked up the little one again. He walked towards the door and Yugi hid her face in Seto's chest,

"Shh, it's all right he'll still love you just the same," Seto said with a hand on the doorknob, as soon as he opened the door the first thing to meet their ears was Yami.

"You!" he shouted, seeing Yugi first, he stopped instantly when he saw Seto holding her,

"Seto, what are you doing with that little... thing," Yami growled pointing accusingly at her.

"Yami, shut up before you say something you are going to regret," Seto said glaring at him.

"What do you mean? she was in my bathroom with Yugi!" Yami shouted at him, making Yugi cringe and let out a small cry of fear into Seto's chest, he could feel tears hitting his skin and he held her a little closer.

"Yami, this is Yugi!" he hissed at him,

"If you'd get your head out of your ass for three seconds, you'd realize that you just called your own husband a whore," Seto added rubbing Yugi's back as she started to all out cry again, clinging to Seto's chest stressed to no end and thinking Yami was rejecting her.

"Seto, Yugi is a boy, this is a girl you have in your arms," Yami said pointing out the very obvious fact.

"Yami, look at her, this is Yugi, she has the word mine carved into her back, she has purple eyes, she has the same hair, she even has the scar across her stomach, gods Yami, this is Yugi, something happened to him he ran to me because he thought you would reject him," Seto told him turning Yugi towards Yami so he could see her face enough. Yami reached out and turned her face even further so he could see her better she had the blond lightning bolt bangs and the violet eyes; he pulled the back of Seto's shirt down to reveal the scar there and did the same to the front seeing enough of the scar there too.

"She has the same heart beat too," Seto said setting her down to stand in front of him; Yugi was still shaking horribly as she stared pitifully at her husband.

"Yami," she cried pitifully sounding like a poor injured bird.

"Yugi? Is that you?" Yami asked looking over Yugi's new awkward body; Yugi nodded tearfully, starting to sink to her knees again.

"Yugi! Oh my gods Yugi!" Yami cried his eyes widening as he caught her, holding her up by the shoulders.

"You don't love me anymore," Yugi cried falling into him and sobbing into his chest.

"No, I love you like I always have, I'm just very shocked," Yami said carefully wrapping his arms around Yugi and looking up at Seto for help.

"Don't look at me she's your lover," he said sniffing at him before he turned and went back into his room, closing the door behind him. Yugi continued to sob into his chest clinging to her lover.

"Yugi, I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was you," Yami told her, still slightly unsure how to handle Yugi's female body without offending her.

"You aren't going to leave me?" Yugi asked sniffling looking up at her lover.

"No, Yugi, I won't leave you, we are married, I won't ever leave you no matter what," Yami said reassuringly. Yugi continued to sniffle into his lover's chest for a few moments,

"Yami, help," she moaned resting her head against his chest as she shut her eyes; the stress was overpowering her and making her tired.

"My poor baby," Yami said lifting a slightly lighter Yugi and resting her head against his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Yugi, what can I do to make it up to you?" Yami asked nuzzling Yugi's forehead affectionately.

"I need blood," Yugi responded, weakly nuzzling back, happy that his fears had been wrong.

"I'll do that for you and anything else you need," Yami said lovingly, he didn't care if his husband had become a wife, it was still the same Yugi and nothing was going to stop him from loving Yugi. The pair reached Yami's room, the door still sitting wide open,

"Yami I never got my shower," Yugi said pointing towards the bathroom.

"How about a bath?" Yami suggested considering his little lover couldn't walk,

"But you'd have to help me," Yugi replied wrapping an arm around her bust and waist in the area where the other parts used to be.

"I've seen you naked before," Yami said smiling slightly.

"I didn't have these before though," Yugi replied.

"Yugi it's okay to be modest, I'll close my eyes or something, I've seen women before too Yugi, remember I lived way back when in Egypt," Yami said running his hand along Yugi's back, marveling at the fact that he could feel Yugi's spine again.

"Okay, I guess I can wait then, I'm sleepy," Yugi said Yami simply smiled.

"Finally, you want to sleep in in the morning, perfect idea," Yami replied setting Yugi down on the bed. The little one instantly sighed, curling up and cuddling down into the soft bed and pillow gathering the blankets around her neck; Yami went around to the other side and slid into the bed behind Yugi, and they stayed there, cuddling and napping lightly, relaxing from the stressfull morning.
