DeathsIllusion-No, I really shouldn't ask. For my sake. Yes, Ryou's suicidal. If your best friend got you pregnant that ditched you how would you feel? Actually, his depression either ends this chapter or the next. I can't remember and I'm to last to look it up.
Ahilty-How?
Jounrey maker-That's what Bakura wishes for each night when he prays (not that he actually prays). But will Ryou? (plays dramatic music)
Dragonlady222-Oky-doky then
Pharaoh Felicia-Well, you're fun to tease. Here, I'll make a deal with you, I'll break on of Marik's legs so he can't chase you then you can abuse him instead of Malik. What do you think?
Anonymous-okay.
Chapter 6
Bakura swiped the bag of marshmallows out of my hand "Ah, hey!" I got up and tried to get them back but he held them just out of my grasp. Meany. I did the thing I knew always got to my yami. I cried.
"A-ah! Ryou, no" He patted my shoulder "Look… I'm… sorry it's just… weren't you the one who said you needed to eat healthy? You're pregnant" he reminded me. Like I didn't already know that.
"B-but I…" What did it matter? Because of baby my stomach rebelled against anything healthy. I wanted my marshmallows back "Bakura you're…"
"Fine…" he sighed "Have the stupid bag" I squealed in delight as I got it back "But after you finish eating those I'm going to start regulating all the crap you're putting into your body! You're going to be one of those creepy fat guys by the time that stupid thing comes out of you!"
Baby wasn't a thing! And I wasn't fat! I couldn't believe he'd say that to me. This time when I cried it wasn't voluntary "You hate me! Everyone hates me! That's why Malik abandon me and that's why Yugi hasn't talked to me all week and it's why you said that to me now!!!"
Bakura got really flustered "W-what? No I don't! No one hates you" He held me tightly as I continued to sob. He was so warm… "Yugi hasn't talked to you because you've been inside all week, he talked to you this afternoon though, didn't he?" I nodded weakly "And Malik doesn't hate you, he just doesn't want the baby. He isn't even a good friend" I didn't respond to this. Malik had been my best friend, and the only person who really included me in things "And I don't hate you either. I'm just worried that you spend too much time locked up and eat to much unhealthy food"
"But that's the good tasting food"
He chuckled "You're a cute kid"
I leaned my head against his shoulder "You're hair smells niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice"
He game me an odd look "You're having mode swings"
"No I'm nooooooooooooooooot" I giggled and popped a marshmallow into my mouth.
"Yes you are. You-Oh god, are you eating that thing with your face buried in my hair? It's going to be all sticky now!"
"Hehe. You're fuuuuunnnnnnnny!" Bakura picked me up and set me down on the couch before vanishing into his soul room /Come out/
//Once you stop acting so damn weird//
/I'm not acting wiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeerrrd/
//Ryou…// I heard him sigh mentally. He was so funny. I giggled and finished eating the marshmallows //You're a nut//
SC
"Ugh… tummy hurts"
Bakura reappeared in the room and patted my shoulder "Hm…" he narrowed his eyes, as if inspecting me "Maybe I shouldn't have let you finish eating that bag of marshmallows…"
"Ah… don't say that word. If I hear it again I know I'll be sick"
"What? Marshmallows?"
I moaned "Don't say it!" Bakura smiled and hugged me.
Suddenly he backed off. To bad, I was enjoying that warm feeling I got from him "I'm taking over your body for a little while, okay?" I nodded "Just a few minutes. I have a few errands to run and I don't trust you to act like nothing's wrong. You don't want anyone knowing something's wrong, right?"
I nodded again and soon I was in my soul room //Damn. You're stomach does hurt. How much sugar did you eat?//
/Well… I had three cups of hot chocolate, some apple cider, the bag of marshmallows, a cookie, and a twix bar/
//…Did you eat anything normal yet?//
/I was going to!/ Do spirits blush?
//Ryou! You need to eat a lot healthier than what you are right now! What happened to planning out all your meals ahead of time so you'd get everything you needed in a day without eating to much?//
/Malik dumped me/ I replied /and I gave in to cravings. I'm still eating everything I need, I'm just eating other things too/
//You're going to be fat// he told me for the second time that day //and your baby will be premature and sickly//
/Nu-uh/
//Ryou…//
/Why do you care anyway?/ Suddenly I felt frustrated /Malik's the father, not you!/
//But… it's my fault isn't it? What me and Marik did was my idea//
I closed my eyes and slid down the wall of my soul room. That was right. I knew that it had happened while we were both possessed. I'd just gotten so mad at Malik that it didn't seem to matter. After all, if I did nothing and had to pay like this, how come he got away free? Once it couldn't hide my pregnancy any longer I couldn't reveal that Malik was the father and force him to accept the responsibility I was forced to take, then everyone would think I was a whore. I'd have to make up a story about being raped (and I hadn't been a willing participant in the sex so it wasn't lying), but then no one would believe me if I said Malik was my attacker, and he wouldn't be forced to accept responsibility, he'd be detained. Detained for something he didn't do. But I didn't do anything and…
By this time Bakura had thrown me back into my body //Better?//
I blinked. My stomach didn't hurt nearly as bad. How much time did he give it to settle? How long was I in my soul room //It's been about half an hour. I recommend you make yourself dinner//
"I'm not hungry right now" I muttered.
//Why… oh… I'm sorry. It's because I made you think about Malik, isn't it?//
"ITS NOT FAIR" I screamed
//Mind link. You don't want people to hear you, do you?//
I quieted down, but I wasn't calm enough to use a mind link "I don't care if he wasn't in control of his body. Neither was I. If I have to pay for you two's behavior why shouldn't he?!"
Bakura sighed mentally and materialized next to me "It's okay, Ryou" He whispered, hugging me tightly.
"It's not okay. I'm going to slowly get fat. I'll have to raise a little kid when I'm not an adult yet. I'll have to drop out of school. Everyone's going to know I'm some sort multi-gender of freak of nature. I lost my best friend. My father will never trust me again. How is that okay?"
Bakura didn't respond. Probably didn't know how too. He was warm, though. That was… nice.
