I want to thank all of you for being patient with me. This semester is finally over! I am so happy now I have more time to work on my stories. Anyway enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 21

In the bedroom Yami had Yugi take his medicine before laying down. Yugi shook his head and proceeded to climb in the bed.

"Baby, I know you don't want to, but it will help with the pain. Besides, if you don't, we'll be making another trip to the hospital."

Yugi pouted but took the medicine and Yami helped him undress and lay down with him under the covers. Yugi pushed himself back against Yami making him moan.

"Baby, stop."

Yugi turned around so that he was facing Yami and kissed him. Yami kissed him back deeply and was fine until Yugi rolled them over and straddled him. Yami broke the kiss and pushed Yugi away gently.

"Baby, no."

"Please, Yami?"

Yami shook his head, "No, baby. You need to heal."

"Yami…" Yugi whined.

Yami shook his head again and gently pushed Yugi off of him, "I said no, baby."

Yugi pouted, "I fucking hate this. It's not fair! Why does this always happen to me? Am I really that bad that no one loves me and shit just has to happen to me? Why?"

"Babe, that's not true and you know it. I love you."

"If you loved me why did you let me get raped? Twice!"

Yami looked at Yugi with wide eyes, "Baby, i-it wasn't my fault. I didn't know he-"

"Fuck you! I called you! Twice, and you didn't answer my call. I left a message asking you to call me back. And back at your graduation party? If you hadn't left the room, they wouldn't have attacked me. I told you that I was too young to go, but no you said it was gonna be okay because you'll be by my side the entire time. Where you? No! You fucking left me."

"Baby, I'm sorry. I-"

"Fuck. You. Okay, Fuck. You. Leave me alone."

"Yugi…"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Yami sighed but got out of the bed and headed out of the room. He found his mother in the kitchen cooking and Takara was on the floor in the living room playing with toys. When she saw Yami, she giggled and crawled to him.

"Dada!"

"Hey sweetie," he said picking her up.

"Yami, what are you doing out here, I thought I told you to take care of Yugi and I would take care of dinner and Takara."

"Yugi's mad at me."

"What?"

"Yeah, he's saying that his getting raped both of those times was my fault. He said that if I loved him I wouldn't have let him get raped."

"Yami, it's not your fault and you know this. Remember Yugi's just hurt right now and on top of that he's pregnant and his emotions are gonna be all over the place."

Yami sat down with Takara on his lap, "He wasn't like this with Takara."

Riena chuckled as she stirred the spaghetti sauce, "Sweetie, every pregnancy is different."

"What am I gonna do, mom? He's really upset with me."

"Give him some time to cool off. I'm sure he doesn't actually mean it."

Yami sighed and stood up as the doorbell rang. He opened the door to find Ryou and Bakura outside.

"Hey guys," Yami said letting them in and putting Takara back on the floor.

Takara started to crawl to Yami and Yugi's bedroom, "Papa! Papa!"

"Papa's resting Taki, he'll come play later."

"Is he alright?" Ryou asked.

Yami nodded and Bakura frowned.

"Alright, Sennen, spill it."

"What?"

Bakura sat on the couch, "Whatever you're hiding from us."

"Its not any of your business."

"Yami, Yugi is our friend too, tell us what happened."

Yami shook his head, "Its none of your business Bakura and I'd prefer for it to stay that way."

"Yami!" Yugi screamed.

Yami jumped up and ran into the bedroom where he found Yugi sitting up in bed sweating and crying. Yami climbed on the bed and pulled his lover into his arms.

"Shh, baby, I'm here. It was just a dream."

"I-I didn't know where y-y-you were. I couldn't f-find you."

"I'm here now, baby."

"It hurt Yami, I wanted you so bad. I wanted you to make him stop."

"I know baby and I'm sorry."

Yugi wiped his eyes and shook his head, "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have accused you. I shouldn't have yelled at you. You've done nothing but try and protect me. You've shown me what love is really about."

"Yeah, but you're right, if it wasn't for me, you probably wouldn't have been raped."

"Yami, I was just angry and upset. It wasn't your fault."

"Okay. Um, Takara wants to see you and mom almost has dinner ready."

Yugi shook his head, "I'm not hungry."

Yami sighed, "Babe, you need to eat. It'll help you regain your strength and remember you're pregnant so you have to feed your baby."

Yugi giggled, "Don't you mean our baby?"

Yami chuckled and kissed Yugi lightly on the lips, "Yes, our baby. Now c'mon before mom has a fit."

Yugi chuckled and got up off the bed and pulled on his jeans. He and Yami walked out of the bedroom together and found Takara in the hallway.

"Papa," she cried.

"Aw, what's the matter, sweetheart? Why are you crying?" Yugi asked picking her up.

"I think she was worried about you. I think she heard you screaming and you know how she gets when you yell."

"Yeah, she doesn't like it. Did I scare you, sweetheart? Papa's sorry."

Yami and Yugi headed into the living room where Ryou and Bakura were still sitting.

"What are you guys still doing here?" Yami asked.

"Well, we did come for a visit and your mom invited us to stay for dinner and plus, we're not going anywhere until you tell us what happened with Yugi."

"Bakura, seriously, back off."

"Yami, you should know me by now, I am extremely persistent. I always get what I want."

Just then Riena popped her head into the living room, "Let's eat, boys."

The boys filed into the kitchen and Yugi placed Takara in her high chair as they all sat down at the table. Yugi took some of the spaghetti and cut it into little pieces and placed it on Takara's tray. Takara giggled and picked up a noodle and popped it into her mouth. Everyone else started to eat.

"So, Yugi, Yami told us that you weren't feeling well. What's wrong?"

"Bakura, if you know what's good for you back off," Yami said carefully.

"I-its nothing, guys. Just a little under the weather. This pregnancy is taking a lot outta me," he half lied.

Ryou nodded, "That's understandable. Every pregnancy is different. While you may not have been nauseous with Takara you might be with this one and so forth. Things that you did or didn't have may be different and some things will stay the same."

Yugi smiled, "Thanks, Ryou."

After dinner Yugi took Takara and bathed her, changed her diaper, and put on her pink night suit. He sat in the chair in her nursery and started to feed her. He heard someone knock on the door and heard Yami answer it.

"Babe?"

Yugi looked up to see Yami standing in the doorway.

"Joey's here, he wants to talk to you."

"That's good because I want to talk to him too, but can you have him wait out there, you know how I am about people watching me breastfeed."

Yami nodded, "Sure, baby," he said and walked back into the living room.

Yugi finished breastfeeding Takara and burped her and laid her in her crib. She smiled sleepily at her papa and stuck her fist in her mouth. Yugi chuckled and kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight, my angel."

He turned on the nightlight and shut the door slightly as he walked into the living room where he found Joey and Kaiba sitting on the couch. Yami was sitting across from them on the chair and Bakura was sitting on the other end of the couch with Ryou in his lap. He walked over to Yami and sat on his lap. Before he was about to speak Riena poked her head inside.

"I'm going to bed, boys. I will see you all in the morning."

"Night, mom," Yami said waving at her.

Riena walked off and Yugi looked at Joey.

"Joey, I just want to say thank you. I don't know what I would've done without you."

"I know you were mad at me but I couldn't just let that asshole get away with raping you. I had to do something even if it wasn't much."

"Pup, it was a lot, and I am sure Yugi agrees," Seto said.

Yugi nodded while Bakura and Ryou looked shocked, "Yugi, you were raped? Again?"

Yugi cringed and buried his face in Yami's chest. Yami glared at Bakura and Joey and Seto looked at each other before looking at Yugi.

"Yugi, you were raped before?" Joey asked.

Yugi nodded and buried his face further into Yami's chest. Yami rubbed his back and shushed him.

"Shh, baby, it's okay."

Yugi wiped his eyes and sat up straight trying to calm down. Joey smiled at him.

"I came to say I'm sorry. I know I was an ass to many times over, and I deserved everything you said. I just want you to know that I still care about you Yugi. Me and you were tighter than thieves-"

"Hey, Wheeler, I think the saying is thicker than thieves," Bakura snickered.

"Shut it, Bakura," Ryou warned.

"Anyway, I want you know that I am working on changing and I hope you can accept me as your friend again soon."

"I already do. If you weren't my friend or that you cared about me, you wouldn't have tried to save me. You wouldn't have gotten in touch with Yami. I wanted to say I'm sorry too. I should've given you a chance instead of just blowing you off."

Joey shook his head, "No, Yugi, I deserved it."

Yugi started to cry, "No, you didn't all you wanted to get to know your daughter and I was an ass to you." He sniffed and wiped his eyes, "But that's okay, I'm gonna make it up to you. I'm gonna introduce you to her. She may not know you as her daddy, but at least you can start to be in her life."

Joey nodded, "That's fine. I just want to see her."

Yugi smiled, "You should she looks just like you, but you knew that of course."

Joey gave a nervous laugh, "Yeah."

"Okay, well come by tomorrow by eight. I should be home by then."

"Yugi, you shouldn't be working after what just happened to you," Ryou said.

"I'll be fine. I can't just sit around doing nothing. But, I'm starting to get tired so I'll see you all tomorrow."

Yami stood and led Yugi to the bed, "I'll be in soon."

Yugi nodded, "Hope I'm awake."

Yami just chuckled and left the room shutting the door behind him. When he walked back into the living room Bakura was fixing him with a hard stare.

"What?"

"Are you ready?"

"Ready for what?"

"To get the sonovabitch. He shouldn't be able to walk free after this."

"I agree," Joey piped up.

"I understand how you are all feeling, but think about it, what will happen to you if you're caught? I mean, I believe this guy deserves to be punished for what he did, but by the proper authorities," Seto said.

Yami clenched a fist and released it several times, "You don't get it, Kaiba. The three of us called this sonovabitch for three years. He raped my boyfriend. Twice. I'm not gonna let him get away with this. And I'm not gonna let some cheesy ass police try and fail to take him down. He and his buddies are going down."

"Yami, no please."

Yami turned around and saw Yugi standing there.

"Pussycat?"

"You can't. I won't let you. Please promise me, Yami. Please."

"Pussycat, I can't just let him get away with what he did to you. I can't."

Yugi shook his head, "No, Yami, I wouldn't be able to handle it if something happened to you."

"I'm not letting him get the chance to do this again."

"No! Yami, please. I'm begging you. Leave it alone."

Yami shook his head, "I can't baby. Knowing he's out there able to touch you again? I can't. I'm sorry, baby."

"Fuck you! You don't care about me at all!"

Yami sighed and gripped Yugi's arms, "That's not true, baby. I do care about you, that's why I'm doing this."

Yugi snorted, "Yeah right. All you care is about yourself. You just want the chance to hurt somebody. It's all about your needs and your wants. You don't give a shit about me and what I want."

"Yes, I do, baby."

"Then don't do this! Leave it alone! Let it go!"

Yami sighed, "I can't baby."

Yugi shoved Yami's arms off of him, "No, you won't. You know what Yami? Go fuck yourself!" he yelled and started to walk away.

"Yugi…"

Yugi turned, "I don't wanna hear it. Don't come near me! Just leave me alone."

Yugi goes into the bedroom and slams the door. Yami sighs and runs a hand through his hair. Great, he's pissed again.

"Um, did he just couch you?" Bakura chuckled.

Ryou punched him, "Bakura, that's not funny. Yami, you know maybe Kaiba's right and we should let the police handle this."

"Or maybe you should just let us handle this while you deal with Yugi," Bakura suggested.

Yami shook his head, "No. I need to know that that asshole is gonna suffer and I have to be the one to make sure of that. Yugi will be fine."

The boys looked at each other with wide eyes. They didn't think so.

TBC...

Max: Is Yami gonna kill Maxi?

Me: You'll have to wait like everybody else and see.

Max: Meanie. Hey, did you name Maxi after me?

Me: Uh, no.

Max: Rogue...

Me: No, I swear.

Max: Rogue, you better not be lying.

Me: C'mon, Maxi you know I wouldn't do that. *gulps* oops.

Max: ROGUE! How dare you! I can't believe you named an asshole after me.

Me: Well, you can be an asshole sometimes.

Max: Rogue, you better run because you're gonna pay for that with you're life.

Me: Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter *runs away*
