IT TOOK RYUJI OTOGI exactly three days to create Dungeon Dice Monsters, but it took him exactly a month and two days to gather the courage to come up to a particular person's door and give a knock.

Ryuji felt his heart pumping at his ears as he waited for the person to answer. He has never been so scared in his life. How in the world did this happened?

Ryuji sighed, there's was no way to regret everything now, is there? What had happened, happened and now he's going to have to be responsible for his actions.

Ryuji turned around as he heard the door creak open.

"Hey,"

MEANWHILES…

Kaiba noticed something was wrong with his…his-dare he say it? His most 'tolerable' employee, Shizuka, he watched her on his security screen on his desk. He watched her crying.

Kaiba knew he can be a very difficult man to work with many times. Many people quit in less than 2 hours, but this time it wasn't his fault!

Kaiba decided to pay his secretary a visit.

"I don't pay you to sit there and snivel," Kaiba said coldly as he approached Shizuka's desk. Shizuka, immediately wiped off her tears and smiled at Kaiba, "Ah, Mr. Kaiba…" she began, "Is-is there something you need?" Darn, Shizuka thought, Kaiba must have caught her on his surveillance tapes!

"I need you to focus," Kaiba said.

Shizuka nodded, "S-sorry, Mr. Kaiba…" She immediately turned around and glanced at the computer screen again. Kaiba raised an eyebrow, Shizuka is acting strange. She always smiles at him, even after he scowled at her.

Kaiba isn't the one to ask how people are doing, in fact, he never cares. Yet seeing Shizuka like this…made him curious.

Shizuka could still feel her boss's presence behind her. Maybe he did want something, she thought.

Shizuka turned around in her seat, "Yes?" she asked politely.

Kaiba was never a man for words, he did not ask 'what's wrong?'. He simply raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "Silly girl," he muttered and he began to walk back into his office.

That's when it hit Shizuka; she had understood why Kaiba took his time and energy to leave his cave. In his own way, Kaiba was worried about her. He wanted to know if she was alright.

Shizuka found herself grabbing Kaiba's trench coat, Kaiba turned to look at her.

When she realized what she had done, she blushed and took several deep breaths. He was here, might as well get it over with.

"The…the truth is," Shizuka began quietly, "I'm jealous…jealous of my friend."

Kaiba didn't say anything, he only looked at her telling her to explain her feelings clearly. Shizuka took several deep breaths. Calm down, calm down, calm down.

"Because…my friend is going to have something that I've always wanted," Shizuka placed both her hands over her lower abdomen, "A baby,"

Shizuka blushed, "I know it's silly. I know that I may be too young to think about this….but…" Another tear ran down her cheek, "I've always wondered what it felt holding my own child…of my flesh and blood…in my arms."

Shizuka began to swing her legs childishly back and forth, "But from what I hear….motherhood is amazing. Or, at least that's how I feel about it."

She frowned, "But I'm not supposed to envy my friend, in fact…my friend has no idea who the father of her baby is. She's suffering, trying to figure out what to do about herself and the child."

"Is that all?" Kaiba asked, "Then get back to work," Kaiba turned around and headed back into his office.

Shizuka couldn't help but to smile, she figured this was Kaiba's way of saying, 'I'm sorry'.

As Kaiba entered his office, he took a deep breath. A deep, deep breath.

He wasn't expecting that.

He wasn't expecting that at all.

MEANWHILE…

"Ryuji?" Mai asked as she opened the door farther to let Ryuji in, "What are you doing here?"

Ryuji took a deep breath, he glanced down at Mai's belly and noticed the bump was bigger, whereas last month it was invisible.

A month has definitely passed.

"Mai," Ryuji began after several minutes, "I'm the father,"
