Anontmous-Pentagon (just barely)

Pharaoh Felicia- Well HA! My fanfics don't get a rough draft on notebooks. Only my orginal stories do. And my fanfics are saved online, on computer, and on a thumbdrive!

D.H. Knightly-adds to the effect, i thought.

BakurasGodess-Did you change your name again? I'm pretty sure you did after reviewing the last chapter. Anyway, I watch Naruto and have a very vague idea of Yu Yu Hakusho (VERY vague)

dragonlady222-Nobody likes a stalker, right?

journey maker-Its a complicated situation ain't it.

Chapter 20

/Let me out!/ Malik screamed /LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!/

//No// I said. Short. Simple. Malik didn't understand it.

/PLEASE let me out?/

I gave him a mental kick and locked him up tight in the back of my mind. No one noticed I was in control of his body. If I didn't want to be noticed I was good at that. Ryou was sitting next to me talking and laughing at my jokes. He was in the mood to laugh a lot. The latest faze of his pregnancy. His stomach was huge now. Personally, I was amazed that he wasn't going in to labor as I thought about this. He really looked like he ought to have had the kid a month ago.

I didn't point it out. Malik had learned not to act like that. I learned that I needed to act like Malik or I lost all my freedoms fast.

Finally Yugi and Joey came to join us for lunch "So, Ry" Joey said "When are ya goin' into labor?" Yugi wasn't even subtle about hitting Joey.

Ryou turned the most vibrant red "I-I'm not that… I mean… its not like… like…"

"Ryou's about thirty weeks in. He has ten more to go" I said.

Ryou smiled a 'thank you' at me and when back to eating his food. I didn't know why Ryou had insisted on the four of us meeting in a café for lunch. Probably so my host could get a bit of time out of the house. Once that nurse ruined his eye I stopped trusting those 'doctors' to heal him and took it into my own hands, but now that Malik was almost ready to walk again I wasn't to concerned with wasting magic on him.

/Just for a minute?/

I ignored Malik and joked with Ryou a little. Acting all goody-goody the way my host's been since he decided to play daddy is tough, but acting's always fun. I'm still not as good as Bakura, who probably recognizes me, but soon I'll be good enough to impress him. Then maybe he'll go for me instead of Ryou, and as a bonus, Malik will have less competition for his crush.

"Hey, Ryou" I said "I've been wondering, if I were going to be the babies father-and I will be-would that make me gay, or can I still say I'm straight?"

"Gay" Joey said

"Straight" Yugi argued.

"Personally, I think it makes you bisexual" Ryou told me "But I suppose it's debatab-ow!" he placed a hand on his extremely swollen stomach. Baby must have been kicking him.

"OH! Can I feel the baby move?" Yugi asked.

Ryou shook his head and stood up "I just remembered, I had an appointment today. I'd better get going"

With Ryou gone I so no point in staying in control, and let Malik back out. He didn't mention being possessed, though. Probably not to freak his 'friends' out.

SC

"You're a jerk" Malik told me once we were alone in his room. The two of us were snuggled up together. It was normal. We both hated each other, but it was comfortable, and we had to share a body anyway so the idea of cuddling wasn't that bad.

"Thank you"

"I think something's wrong with Ryou" he said "The baby never kicks hard enough to actually hurt him"

"Sure…"

Ishizu came in with the phone. She hesitated, seeing the two of us so close, but got over it quickly and handed Malik the phone.

"Hello?" I returned inside Malik so I could hear wheat he did.

"Hey, Malik, it's me, Ryou"

"Hi Ryou. Sorry I couldn't go with you earlier today but… you know"

"Yeah…"

Neither said anything for a moment before Ryou spoke up again "I… I went into labor" he said quietly.

"You WHAT?! Why didn't you say anything? Should I be there?"

"N-no! It's… I wasn't sure… so I had the doctor check and… and… its not to big a deal. They don't know what caused it, probably stress, but they managed to stop it before… um… I need to stay in the hospital for a few days, and then I'm on bed rest at home. I already called my father and he's coming back to. I think it might be better if you didn't visit me while I'm in the hospital"

"What? Why?" I felt Malik panic, worried he was being dumped. Would serve him right.

"Uh… hang on" there was a bit of clanging before Ryou spoke again "Bakura's been kind of over protective of me ever since you agreed to help with the kid. I think he's jealous of you or… something. Its not that I don't like you, it's just that I don't want to hurt him at the same time. No offense but… he stayed with me. He could have just left me alone, or even found a different host. And… he's a good friends so… Please, Malik, just a few days?"

"Sure…"

I reappeared outside of Malik. You'd wonder why I went in him if I could do this. The thing is, there's a limited amount of time we can spend using these bodies before we return to our host. I don't get why Bakura's so casual about it.

Malik hung up, looking disappointed. "You were listening to that… weren't you? Do you think he's trying to loose me? I did leave him…"

"Bakura's got the hots for Ryou. Yami and I were the only ones who noticed it until recently, though Yami likes to play dumb about it because he feels the same way about Yugi. I wouldn't be too surprised, giving how Ryou seems so suddenly fond of you, if Bakura was getting uptight. Just give the kid a break. Besides, you don't want to freak your sister out asking her to take you to him, right?"

"It's amazing that a psychopath gives such good advice…"

"You're lucky your hurt, or you'd be dead for that" I teased.
