dragonlady222-Ah, yeas, blame the parents.

BakurasGodess-I think I liked your last name best of the three you've used that I know of, but I get your point.

Pharaoh Felicia-Actually, I'd like it if someone threw root beer at me.

D.H. Knightly-I just realized how cool you name is.

Journey Maker-...Yeah. I guess so.

Anonymous-:D

ahilty-Are you refering to his grandpa, or his mom who appears in one scene where she can easily be mistaken for a nurse?

Chapter 11

My head hurt, probably from falling on the floor. I looked around. I was home, at the apartment. Ryou's friend was there, watching me with Ryou. Then Ryou walked into the room from the kitchen with a handful of chocolate chips. I passed out again

SC

The second time I came too there was only one Ryou. I must have been dreaming the first time.

"Um, glad your back dad" Ryou said, smiling sweetly. Cute kid.

His stomach was sticking out a bit. That's right. Cute, pregnant kid. What had he said, that he was raped? "Ryou, I'm so sorry, I should have been here for you-did you carry me home?"

"You could say that"

The little one, Yugi, butted in "Ryou hasn't been lonely, even though he and Malik are fighting. I've been helping since he told me what happened. The only real problem are the rumors"

"Rumors?"

"Someone told the whole school I'm pregnant" Ryou muttered, looking away "It's not fair. I didn't do anything to upset anyone. Why would they do that?"

He looked sad. I felt kind of guilty for not being there to comfort him. Besides, his breath smelled chocolaty, so there was probably no one around to make sure he was making healthy choices.

'I'm staying here from now on'

I wanted to say that, but I had to leave in a week.
