Yugioh belongs to Kazuki Takahashi.

Mana sighs as she lies on her side of the bed on her stomach. One week of training has really worn her out mentally and physically. And now she is feeling sick in the stomach. It really feels like she has to throw up. There is a knock on her door and she replies with a mumbled, 'Come in,' before Mahad walks in. "Mana, why aren't you out helping me with the magicians' training?"

"Oh, sorry Mahad. I'll be…out in a moment," she replies, trying to hold in a gag.

Mahad frowns and looks down at her with concern. He can tell that something is wrong with her. "Are you sick?"

"Gee, what gave you that idea?" Mana asks sarcastically before she covers her mouth and gags for the second time. It feels like someone has set the inside of her stomach on fire. She curls up into a ball and groans as the pain in her stomach continues.

"I'm going to get a doctor." And with that Mahad leaves momentarily and comes back with a doctor at his side. Mahad watches as he examines her and his eyes widen when the doctor rushes to get a wooden bucket and she empties out her stomach before falling back on the bed. "What is wrong with her? Will she be alright?" asks Mahad with a worried look.

"Besides being sick, have you been feeling very fatigued lately?"

"Yeah."

"Your highness you have some of the symptoms. Fatigue, morning sickness; I believe you're pregnant," the doctor reveals and at the same time, Mana and Mahad's eyes nearly pop out of their sockets and their mouths go agape after hearing the shocking news. "Right now, it is best that you get some rest." The doctor soon leaves and once the door closes completely, Mahad rushes over to her bedside.

"I'm sorry Mana but…PREGNANT!?" Mahad yells, his eyes still wide.

"Shh…keep it down Mahad."

"But you're pregnant. I can't believe this."

"Yeah, okay, I'm not pregnant," Mana says, moving to rest on her side and she puts the covers over her head. Mahad shakes his head with a smile before turning to leave. "And Mahad? Don't you dare say a word to Atem."

"But don't you think he would like to know?"
"Like I said, I'm not pregnant."

'She's in denial,' Mahad concludes in his head and he walks out to carry on his daily duties.

The next day, Mana is feeling a lot better than before. Yesterday had been filled with frequent up chucking and many runs to the bathroom. But now she feels as good as new. She walks in the hallway with her long red cape flowing behind her as she walks. She meets up with Mahad who is waiting for her so that they can train the magicians.

"Are you feeling any better?" asks Mahad as they continue to walk.

"Yup. It was nothing serious although right now, I am sooo hungry," Mana groans, holding her stomach and she whimpers lightly while Mahad sweat drops at her behavior. Even with her being the queen, she hasn't changed a bit. Sure she has to be a lot more mature and responsible now that she has a child and she is the queen of Egypt, but at others times she would throw away that mature attitude and act like her old self which is up beat, bouncy and carefree.

"Are you sure you want to train?" Mahad asks.

"Why do you say that?"

"Well…it's because…you're…you know…"

Mana sighs heavily and whips her head over to look at him. "For the last time, I am not pregnant!"

"But Mana, the doctor knows best."

"And I think I know my own body Mahad. I remember exactly how it feels to be pregnant and…it's just not the same feeling."

"I still think you should take it easy," he advises causing Mana to narrow her eyes at him before turning her head away. "Just in case."

"Alright I'll—" She is suddenly cut off when Mahad screams and she looks over to see Cairo on his back with a grin.

"Cairo! Don't scare me like that! I could've taken serious action if I thought you were an enemy!" Mahad scolds her and she only laughs, still remaining on his back as they walk.

"Why hello Cairo," greets Mana, "I see you're feeling a lot better."

"Yeah, I feel as good as new. So where are you two headed?"

"We are going outside to train the magicians for the upcoming battle."

Cairo's eyes lighten up and she clenches her fists with excitement. "Ah! Can I help?" Mana looks to Mahad for an answer and he nods, making Cairo even more excited.

"Go easy, but don't go too easy on them Cairo," says Mahad. "You are way above their level and they could use someone challenging to spar with. Just don't go too far."

"You got it."

Atem and Shimon stand on the balcony of the palace, watching as Seto, Karim, Shada and Aknadin train the troops. They all stand in multiple straight lines taking orders from the priests. This has all been going on for a week now and Atem hopes that all of this training will give them a swift victory. He and his priests including Mana have gone through some training of their own as far as their ka. They have gone through multiple duels to prepare themselves.

"The soldiers are doing quite well, don't you think my king?" asks Shimon.

"Yes."

"Shall we see how the magicians are doing?" Atem nods.

Mana wipes some sweat off her forehead and walks over to where her daughter is to sit down and take a break after sparring with so many magicians. She usually wouldn't get tired this fast but right now she is feeling very exhausted. 'I'm not pregnant, I'm not pregnant, I am not pregnant!' she keeps thinking to herself as she sits down.

"Tired already Mana? You still have one more magician to spar," says Mahad, pointing to a much smaller yet buff magician.

"Eh…let Cairo spar him," she says and Cairo jumps up from her seat with eagerness and goes to stand in front the small man who looks at her with a glare. Atem and Shimon are just reaching the sight and they go to sit next to Mana and Mahad to watch the fight between the two.

"Not to be rude Master Mahad, but can't I have a much worthier opponent?" asks the shorter man. Mahad puts his hand up for him to stop before signaling for them to start.

"You will do a mixture of magic and combat in this fight, now begin!" commands Mahad.

"I won't even need my magic," mutters the small man to himself and he starts to approach Cairo with a look of confidence. "Prepare to lose child." He dashes toward her, bringing his fist back, preparing to strike her with a hard punch. Cairo grins and once he brings his fist forward to attack, she immediately grabs it and brings his arm behind his back before pushing him down to his face and sitting on his back.

"Never underestimate your opponent Nile," warns Mahad and Nile growls in frustration.

"Nile, huh? Wow, we're both named after places in Egypt," says Cairo with a smile.

"Get off of me," he says and she obeys and jumps back to give herself room. His wooden wand appears in his hand and he points it at her. "Prepare yourself for my most powerful attack!" His wand begins to spark, sending Cairo and the others on the alert.

"Electricity," Mana says looking on.

"That spell is forbidden for my students to use because it is very dangerous and it causes a lot of damage," says Mahad. "Where did he learn that?"

"Come to think of it Mahad, isn't he one of the newer students? He came a week ago didn't he? Where did you say he came from?"

"He never gave an exact location. He just said that he lives out in the…desert…" Mahad says slowly and his eyes widen. "Cairo, look out!" Atem, Mana, Shimon and Mahad stand up as Nile sends out the attack. Cairo quickly whips out her wand and a shield appears around her and the attack bounces right back to him. Nile screams as he is electrocuted and he falls on the ground once the attack is done. Mana rushes to Cairo's side while the others go to the man lying on the ground.

"A spy?" Shimon asks.

"We can't let him escape. Hold him down in the dungeon and question him once he gets up," Atem commands. "If we let him go, he will tell all of our strategies to Marik and we can't let that happen. Let's just hope that there aren't any more around here."

Whoa, a spy. Not good at all but at least that one didn't escape. Please review!
