The next day Yugi awoke, this time less stressed, rubbing her head into her husband's chest affectionately before she sat up and took her morning pills. She leaned down and kissed Yami lightly, momentarily stemming the snoring,
"Yami, wake uuup," she whispered to him pulling him up, still sleeping, into a hug; Yami opened his eyes slowly, he'd become used to Yugi waking him up this way, and loved every minute of it.
"Good morning husband of mine," Yugi said when Yami looked up at her, still slightly sleep hazed.
"You are a wonderful wife, love," Yami responded leaning up and giving her a gentle kiss.
"And you are a wonderful husband, now come on up-and-adem, you still need to take your shower," Yugi replied helping Yami sit up by pushing his legs off the bed.
"And yet you kill the moment," Yami grumbled rubbing his eyes as Yugi sat down next to him. She stood and pulled him with her, slowly leading the sleepy vampire into the bathroom; Yami walked right into the shower, still in his boxers, and turned the water on, cold. Yugi couldn't help but laugh as Yami shot out of the shower looking like a shivering wet cat.
"Why didn't you warn me!" he cried wrapping a towel tightly around his body,
"You were acting on your own, it's not my fault you turned on the cold water," Yugi replied still chuckling, Yami finally reached over and shut the offending shower off.
"Now that I'm awake... Are you going to just sit there and watch me take a shower?" Yami asked turning the water back on warm.
"You don't have anything I haven't seen," Yugi replied making Yami glare mildly at her.
"Oh all right, I'll leave," Yugi said walking out as she heard boxers hit the floor and the door slide shut on the shower. Once Yami was done with his shower Yugi got hers and got dressed; they both headed down stairs where Jou waited patiently for them.
"Come on lets get going," Jou said he was practically bouncing he was so happy, Jou was the shopper in the family the only person in the household who owned at least two closet fulls and a few dressers of clothes. He defiantly was the best person to go to for fashion advise;
"We're coming, where is Seto?" Yugi replied as Jou tried to push her out the door.
"He's in the car," Jou told her shooing the pair out. They all stopped at Monteague's apartment to drop of Seto and pick up the said owner of the apartment, much to Seto's protest when he saw the bird hoping around the living room. Once they left it was Jou's turn to drive and they reached the mall in record time, all four of them stepped out and went in; Jou immediately ushered them into the good stores for Yugi.
"Yami, I think Jou's gone mental," Yugi said weighted down by eight sets of clothing.
"No, he's just got this thing for shopping," Yami said smiling at the little one trying to hold all the clothes.
"Jou, I think she has enough" Yami told him as the blond vampire approached them with one last item in his hand, a wide collar.
"Okay, go to the changing rooms and try the out fits on, come out so we can see you in them though," he said grinning as he pushed Yugi off in the direction of the changing rooms. Yugi looked back at them meekly and then went into a stall to change. The first thing that she tried on was simple enough, a pair of black women's jeans, with small two small metal rings attached to the thighs, that fit tight to her body showing almost every curve and a tight, lavender, little shirt that said 'I only look like an angel' in sloppy white lettering on the front and on the back had little chibi wings in the shoulders, it also showed her mid rift a bit which made her blush at first. She came out wearing it and gained a unexpected whistle from another male customer.
"That looks great," Yami said looking her over; Monteague and Jou both gave two thumbs up to the outfit.
"Go try on the next one," Jou told her running her off again. Yugi went back locking the door, she realized what the next one was and slinked back out poking her head around the corner.
"Yami," she whispered gaining his attention while the other two looked at clothes for themselves, the sales manager trying to convince Monteague that the store had nothing in his size.
"What is it Yugi?" Yami said once she had pulled him around the corner.
"I need help getting into the next thing Jou picked out," she whispered biting her lip slightly.
"Okay, I can help," Yami said he could get through seeing Yugi in just underwear. Yugi led Yami into the almost closet that was the stall and held up the outfit, it was a dress; it was a short short dress that came up to mid thigh, it practically matched her hair, at the bottom it started black and as it went up it blended into yellow with large red hibiscus flowers scattered among the yellow, all in all a nice little dress for her. Yugi slid out of the other clothes, still making Yami blush as Yugi stood before him in nothing but a brazier and underwear.
"Yami, help me slip this on," Yugi said holding up the dress again; Yami took it and Yugi held up her arms for him as he put it on her, it slid on easily other than an elbow getting momentarily stuck in a sleeve.
"You look beautiful Yugi," Yami said looking at her it was perfect; he gave her a light kiss on the cheek before turning her towards the stall door.
"Now go let Jou see how beautiful you are," he whispered opening the door. Yugi stepped shyly out of the changing rooms and Jou and Monteague spotted her, along with the same man from before along with a couple of his buddies.
"Hellooo babe," one of them called trying to get her attention, but she just ignored them, secretly blushing, as she walked towards Jou.
"How does this look?" Yugi asked turning for them.
"Beautiful, Yami will love to see this, where is Yami anyway?" Jou asked looking around for the shorter vampire.
"He's in the dressing room with me, how do you think I got this on?" Yugi told him smiling slightly embarrassed the she needed help getting into a dress.
"Oh, well then go try on the rest of the clothes," Jou told her nudging her back towards the dressing rooms with the small group of guys still watching her. Yami stood outside the stall just in case she needed to help. She came out wearing every outfit, all of which was either purple, yellow, black, or red with a little dark green, and blue mixed in; she came back to him wearing a dark purple fitted shirt and another pair of jeans she slipped back in for the last outfit but she saw it and felt like slapping Jou good and hard for even recommending it.
"Yami I can't wear this!" Yugi hissed through the door.
"Why not?" Yami asked, Yugi flipped it over the door, it was a bikini for when it got warm or when she wanted to swim on Yami's bathtub.
"Yugi, I can't see anything wrong with this," as the put the clothes back over the door.
"Just try it on, you don't have to buy it if you don't want to," Yami replied,
"Okay," it only took a few moments for her to get out of the clothes she was in and tried it on.
"Yami how do I look in this thing?" Yugi asked opening the door slightly to let her husband in; Yami stepped in and his jaw almost hit the floor, the bikini was tight and the cloth was patterned golden yellow with deep purple flowers over it.
"Y-y-y-yugi you look great," Yami stuttered out his eyes roving her beautifully shaped body, he resisted just taking her in his arms and kissing her senseless.
"Well go on shoo," Yugi said waving him off as she began to untie the back; Yami gratefully backed out closing the door for her. Yugi changed back into the clothes she came in and stepped out, feeling totally different after wearing the female clothes compared to her old boy clothes. She came out of the changing room to the sound of the small crowd of guys waiting for her, she finally marched up to them with a frown set on her face.
"Look you perverts, don't even think it, I may look like your little sixteen sweet heart, but I am married, see, married!" she told them holding up the hand that had her wedding band on it and pointing to it, she quickly slapped the one who started it with that whistle before going back to Jou, Monteague, and Yami; they saw Monteague, who was cracking his knuckles threateningly and and went back to their business.
"Thanks Monteague," Yugi whispered to him smirking. They paid for the clothes and left; Monteague ended up carrying most of the bags, being stronger than the other three by a long shot. Monteague was the one, having lived with a woman and seen what they wear underneath the good looking clothes for four hundred years, who had to escort Yugi and help her pick out undergarments so her and Yami could avoid situations like the previous day. After much blushing and alot of explaining Monteague led Yugi out and they finally left the mall. Jou stopped outside Monteagues apartment building and went upstairs for Seto; the blue eyed vampire saw them though and marched up to the tall one.
"That bird has it in for me, sweet, yeah right the thing tried to claw my arm to death when I tried to pick her up," he cried showing him the scratched up fore arm and torn apart sweater sleeve.
"You must have done something wrong, Pira is a nice bird," Monteague responded going upstairs and pulling Seto with him. He found Pira snuggled down into her nest she looked up when he entered and gave a pleased chirp,
"What have you been doing?" Monteague asked her bending down and picking her up off the nest; she was as docile as a lamb but she let out a small keening noise when he pressed her underside, he let her just perch on his arm, she'd gotten a little bigger over night.
"Your hurting aren't you?" Monteague asked her, the intelligent bird bobbed her head as a yes.
"That's why she tried to take your arm off Seto she's not feeling good," Monteage told him going to his bed,
"She was just burned yesterday, how could she get sick that fast?" Seto asked mentally smacking himself for not noticing.
"I let her out to fly last night, and she's not young she just has a new body when she burns she could be thousands of years old, it could have happened then," Monteague explained setting Pira down gently on the bed; he slowly rolled her into her back spreading her sunset colored wings out. He pressed carefully on her stomach waiting for her to make a noise again, he pressed low on it and she finally let out the same sound again; Monteague started to make soothing noises to her trying to calm the bird as he pressed there more, feeling carefully for something that would hint at what was hurting, when he felt around a large hard lump he began to smile, he new exactly what that lump was.
"Pira your going to be a mother," he said softly, rolling her back over and alowing her to fold her wings again, he picked her up again carrying her carefully and setting her down in her nest, which he just noticed had been added to with parts off his fake tree in the kitchen and a few ripped up pages and clothes.
"That's why she was snippy Seto she's got herself and egg in her belly,she was just defending herself," Monteague told him patting the blue eyed vampire on the back.
"She must have found herself a mate last night when she went out, sorry," he added leading him out into the living room where the others were waiting except Yugi.
"Where did Yugi go? I think she'd like this information," Monteague asked looking around the room.
"She went to the bathroom," Jou replied,
"Why? What's wrong with Pira?" he asked.
"She's carrying an egg, that's why she snapped at your lover here," he explained nodding towards Seto who had been snared by Jou's arm.
"Monteague!" he heard Yugi cry loudly from down the hallway; Monteague followed the cry to the bathroom door which was still closed.
"Yugi?" he asked through the door.
"I-I-I'm bleeding!" Yugi replied hoping to every god that Monteague wasn't snickering behind the door.
"Oh! Erm, Yugi do you mind if I come in?" he asked calmly,
"yes!" Yugi responded only Yami should ever see her this way.
"Yugi, I don't mean it in any perverted way, I want to help you out, this is the thing I was telling you about," Monteague told her.
"O-okay," Yugi said unsure of how to take this as she pulled her shirt down to cover herself. Monteague came in and she blushed furiously as he saw her,
"This is why I told you to check every once in a while," he said as he began to search around under the counter top.
"What the heck is wrong with me, Monteague?" Yugi asked still blushing a dark shade of red.
"If you stay a woman for longer than a few months this is going to happen every month, its a sign that you can become pregnant, or as most women call it a period," Monteague replied handing her a small square package.
"Just unwrap that and put it in your underwear, have Jou stop off and get you some more," he told her as she looked at it. Once Yugi was done she stood and pulled her pants back up, making Monteague turn around first,
"H-how long am I going to do this?" Yugi asked nervously shifting and trying to get used to it.
"For some women it lasts a week others only a couple days, just remember to change when you think you need to," Monteague said leaving the bathroom; Yugi washed her hands and followed him.
"What was wrong with Pira anyway?" she asked curiously.
"She's carrying an egg," Monteague replied smiling.
"I'm going to have a true baby phoenix soon," he added,
"That's great!" Yugi said looking up at him.
"What do you think it'll look like?" she asked again.
"It all depends on the father, it'll probably be a mix of the two," he replied, "but I'll love it just the same."They came back into the living room and she whispered quietly to Jou what she needed and Jou nodded understandingly; he knew better than to laugh at Yugi, the poor little vampiress was sensitive to those kind of things. They all went back down stairs and Monteague leaned over the railing on the second floor.
"Bye Yugi, glad to have been able to help, see you soon maybe," he said before he disappeared into his apartment, no doubt to help Pira. The sun was almost down when they got back to the mansion, they carried Yugi's clothes and other things up to their room leaving Yugi and Yami alone.
"I'd say we had a good day," Yugi said pulling Yami into her arms.
"A good, long, day, I now know why I never shop with Jou," Yami replied resting his head on Yugi's shoulder with a content sigh.
"Bad day for you?" Yugi asked rubbing Yami's back.
"You could say that," Yami said relaxing on Yugi's shoulder.
"Why don't we just go to bed, love?" Yugi said feeling how tired Yami was Yami leaned back slightly.
"That sounds like a very good idea," he said separating himself from her and undressing he got in bed; Yugi decided to wear her new PJ's and slid into bed with him curling into his body comfortingly as the two relaxed.
notes: uuuuuh, oh yeah, to answer a question from the reviews Set is thought to be the god of wind and storms but in the Osiris legands he was the antagonist who killed his brother, obviously Osiris, and battled with Horus Osiris's son I've made him into an evil god in this story though and changed a few of his features.
Gruzzee: new clothes oooo! well now that Yugi has clothes and has her first period the story is going to definately pick up in the next chapter and Set is going to take a major turn, for better or for worse? well you'll just have to wait
Cazi: come on aibou tell us tell us! ((puppy eyes))
Gruzzee: Cazi you live in my head practically why are you begging?
Cazi: oh yeah ((goes back into the millenium katana))
Gruzzee: yes! he's gone for now, now readers out there R&R and please come back for more
