Hope you all enjoy this. Sorry if the ending is kind of sucky.

Chapter 25

"Who is this?" Yami questioned nervously.

The voice on the other line laughed, "And what makes you think I'm gonna tell you that?"

"Fine, what do you want? I'll give you whatever you want just don't hurt him."

The voice laughed, "What I want, I already have," and ended the call.

"Sonovabitch!" Yami yelled.

"Who would want to kidnap Yugi?" Teà wondered.

"I think the question is how the hell are we gonna get him back?" Joey asked.

"I can make some calls," Seto said, "Have a people out looking for him."

Yami wasn't listening. He was fuming. And he was worried.

"Maybe we should leave this to the authorities," Tristan said, "Put in a missing persons report or something."

"Are you people fucking blind? What good is that gonna do to help us find Yugi?" Bakura yelled.

Ryou rubbed his belly, "'Kura, calm down. Yami? Did they say anything?"

Yami shook his head, "All they said was that what they wanted, they already had. Why couldn't we just have a nice evening for once? Why can't the kid catch a fucking break?" Yami yelled.

Joey was about to speak when he ran to the edge of the sidewalk to throw up. Wiping his mouth he turned back to the group.

"So what are we gonna do? We can't just stand around here arguing."

"For once, Wheeler has a damn point. I have an idea, but," he said looking at Ryou, "you're not gonna like it, kitten."

Ryou placed his hand over his belly, "What is it?"

"I wanted to talk to Rabid."

"How's a hit man gonna help us?" Yami asked.

"Rabid is a street person. He's always on the streets and he knows people along these streets so maybe he can get in touch with some of his people and they can help us search, or maybe he saw or knows something."

Ryou nodded, "I don't like it, but you might be right. He might be able to help us. Let's go."

The group piled into the limo and Bakura gave the driver directions on where to go. The driver pulled the limo close by to Rabid's hangout. Everyone got out the car and followed Bakura and Yami.

"I don't like the looks of this place," Seto commented.

Bakura turned his head and looked at him, "No one asked you to come, rich boy."

Seto just shrugged and the group walked over to Rabid's hangout.

"Rabid!" Bakura yelled.

"Who the fuck is calling my name?" Rabid growls walking out in clear view of Bakura and the rest of the crew. "Well, well, look who keeps coming back. Bakura and Yami. What can I do for you boys?"

Bakura was about to speak when they heard a squeal and he was soon enveloped by strong arms. Ryou was looking heated.

"Bakura, who is this?"

"Maxine, get off of me!" Bakura yelled.

"The woman backed up and smiled, "Bakura, wow, it's been a long time. How are you?"

"Maxine, sweetness, Bakura didn't come here to hang out."

"Bakura. Who the fuck is she?" Ryou asked again. Bakura chuckled at his boyfriend's anger.

"This is Rabid's girlfriend, Maxine. Being friends with Rabid, means being friends with Maxine."

Ryou nodded.

"So what can I do for you all?" Rabid asked as Maxine stood next to him.

"We need your help," Yami started.

"You need someone dead again?"

Yami shook his head, "No. We need your street resources. Yugi's been kidnapped."

"Wait isn't he your boyfriend? The one you asked me to kill those dudes for?"

Yami nodded, "Yes."

"So you want me to help you all find him? Using my streets?"

Yami nodded again, "Please. I'll even pay you double what you usually get for killing someone."

Rabid chuckled, "No need. I'll help you all find him, just because I like you all." He turned to his girlfriend, "Sweetness, get the crew, we're gonna go scrounging."

Maxine frowned, "Rabid, I thought we didn't do that anymore. We just hit and run."

"Baby, I only do it for a friend. Besides, we might get a little killing in."

"Are you gonna let me help this time?"

"Of course." He turned back to Yami, "Okay, I need to know what he looks like."

"He looks like me with some slight differences," Yami said handing Maxine a picture.

"Oh my, he's so cute!"

"You said he's pregnant right?"

Yami nodded, "Yes."

Rabid nodded, "Alright. We'll help you locate your boyfriend. If we get anything, we'll contact Bakura."

Yami and Bakura nodded, "Thanks, Rabid," Yami said.

Rabid nodded, "You're welcome, now get out of here."

Everyone got back in the limo and the driver dropped everyone off at their homes. When they got to Yami's first, Bakura put his hand on his shoulder.

"You know we'll find him, right?"

Yami nodded, "I know. But what am I gonna tell Takara when I go in the house and she doesn't see her papa?"

"Just tell her that he came and slept over my house," Joey grinned. "I mean she's a baby, she really won't understand."

Yami shook his head, "You'd think, Joey, but she understands quite a bit. Call me the minute Rabid does."

Bakura nodded and Yami walked out the limo and into the house. He found his mom and Takara dozing on the couch. He silently shut the door and hung up the coat.

"Dada!"

He turned and saw Takara sitting up on his mother's lap. He smiled and went to pick her up.

"Hey, princess, daddy woke you up?"

"Hey, Yami," Riena said sitting up. She looked behind Yami expecting to see Yugi and frowned.

"Dada, papa?" Takara noticed too that Yugi wasn't with Yami.

"Papa's spending the night at Joey's, he'll be back later. How about we put you to bed?"

"Papa! Papa!" Takara screamed as Yami headed down toward the nursery.

Yami changed Takara into her pajamas and rocked her back and forth humming her lullaby. As she closed her eyes he laid her in the crib covering her with a blanket. Takara stuffed her fist in her mouth.

"Wawa," she whined.

"Shh, I know, he'll be back, I promise. Sleep, princess," Yami said kissing her forehead.

He shut off the light and walked out back to the living room where his mother was waiting with a frown on her face. She crossed her arms over her chest.

"Where's Yugi?"

Yami groaned, "Mom, not in the mood."

"I don't give a shit, where is your boyfriend? Did something happen? What happened? This was supposed to be a wonderful night for the two of you."

Yami sighed and slumped on the couch. Just then his cell rang and he grabbed it.

"Hello?"

"Yami?"

"Baby? Baby, where are you?"

"I don't know. They're keeping me in a dark room."

"They? Yugi, there's more than one?"

"Mhm."

"Baby, are you hurt?"

"No. They just kept me in the closet. Like they're waiting for something."

"How are you calling me?"

"I'm in the bathroom using my cell…gotta go, they're coming!"

The phone clicked and Yami slammed it down. "Fuck!"

"Yami."

Yami sighed, "Mom, Yugi was kidnapped from the restaurant."

Riena looked like she was gonna scream but Yami quickly covered her mouth. Riena nodded and he removed his hand. Riena looked at him with sad eyes.

"This sucks, mom. It's like ever since we've started dating, everything bad has been happening to him. Maybe if he'd never met me things would be better for him."

Riena put her hand on top of her son's, "Don't you dare think like that. This isn't your fault and you know it."

"So why can't this kid catch a fucking break, huh? He's been raped, twice, his daughter's been kidnapped, I lied to him, and now he's been kidnapped."

"Yami, honey, just because the bad things happen doesn't mean that it's your fault. I mean lots of good has happened since you two have been together. Don't do this to yourself or Yugi."

Just then his cell rang again and he picked it up.

"Yeah?"

"Yami, its Bakura. I just gotta call from Rabid. He and Maxine are on the other side of town. They said that they think they've found Yugi."

"Already?"

"Told ya they were good. Come pick me up and we'll go meet them."

"Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes. Be ready."

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

Yami hung up and grabbed his jacket. His mother followed him to the door.

"They found Yugi? That was quick."

"Yeah, well we had help."

"Be careful, honey."

Yami nodded, "I will, mom," he said and kissed her cheek.

He ran out of the house and jumped into his car. Gunning the engine, he sped to Bakura and Ryou's where Bakura was sitting on the steps waiting for him. He ran up to the car.

"Hurry up and go before Ryou tries to come."

Yami raised his eyebrows as he drove away, "You don't want Ryou to come?"

"Are you kidding me? I am not about to have my pregnant boyfriend anywhere near these guys."

Yami chuckled. Bakura directed him to where they needed to go. They met up with Rabid and Maxine. Yami was surprised to find that Maxine was strapped. Maxine raised an eyebrow at him.

"What? Not used to seeing a female strapped before?"

"Uh, no not really. Especially with a knife and not a gun."

Maxine chuckled, "I hate guns, so my weapons of choice are knives and arrows. Now, how about we stop the chitchat and go and rescue your boyfriend?"

"Sounds good with me."

Rabid nodded, "Since neither of you boys are carrying, stay behind one of us, got it?"

"Yup," Bakura and Yami said.

The four walked up to the house and Rabid got into position before he nodded to Maxine. Maxine grinned and lifted a heeled boot and kicked the door open. Yami was shocked to see this miniskirt and heeled boot wearing chick was such a badass. Maxine turned and winked at Yami. Rabid positioned his gun and walked in first, Maxine was next, and Yami and Bakura were after her.

"Drop it," Rabid yelled at some guy.

Yami fully entered the building and found that they had Yugi tied up like a freaking sacrifice. There were two guys holding knives to his neck. When Yugi saw Yami he whimpered.

"Yami."

Yami wanted to go to him so damn bad but he knew that most likely he'd be dead before he even got two feet. Maxine chuckled and twirled a lock of hair.

"You know boys, I'd listen to my boyfriend if I were you. Unless of course you really wanna die."

"The only one dying here is this piss poor excuse for a human being," One of the guys sneered.

Rabid growled and leveled the gun to the guy's chest. He was just about to shoot until he heard a voice behind him.

"Drop your weapons. Now."

Yami noticed how that voice looked familiar. Turning he saw his father standing there pointing a gun at Rabid's head.

"Dad?"

"Well, so glad you could join us, Yami."

"What the hell? You had Yugi kidnapped? What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Yami, Yami, son, this is for your own good."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm gonna prove to you that you're not gay. You see with him out the way, you'll see things more clearly and go back to dating women."

Yami clenched his teeth and growled, "Have you lost your fucking mind? No matter what you do, I will always be gay and you can't change that. Now let him go!"

"Sorry, Yami, guess there's no other way," Yori said and nodded to the two boys holding Yugi.

They drew their knives but before they could even touch Yugi, Maxine drew both of her knives and threw them hitting them both in the chest. They immediately fell to the ground allowing Yugi to be released. Maxine winked at Yugi before she kicked backward hitting Yori in the chest causing him to fall. Yami walked over to him and kicked the gun out of his hand.

"No matter what you do, I will always be gay and always love Yugi."

He bent down and gripped his father by the hair and pointed to Yugi where Bakura and Maxine were untying him.

"You see that boy over there? He's the love of my life. We're gonna have a baby, and when he's old enough, we're gonna get married. Touch him again and I swear to god, I will kill you."

He released his father and started to walk over to Yugi when he yelled.

"Yami, watch out!"

Yami turned around and grabbed the gun before his father could and put two bullets in his chest. Yori fell to the ground. Yami dropped the gun.

"Mother fucker," he said and ran over to Yugi and kissed him.

Yugi kissed him back deeply before Yami released him and looked him over, "Are you okay?"

Yugi nodded, "Yes. I wanna go home, Yami."

"Let's go, baby." He turned to Rabid and Maxine, "Thanks a lot for your help."

Maxine winked, "Anytime, cutie. Take your man home and love him," she said and blew him a kiss before sidling up to her boyfriend.

"We're always here if you ever need," Rabid nodded and waved.

Yami nodded as he and Bakura guided Yugi out of the building. Bakura helped Yugi into the front seat before sitting in the back. When Yami stopped in front of Bakura's, Ryou came running out.

"Yugi!"

"Ryou, are you trying to get yourself sick?" Bakura said as he saw his boyfriend without a coat.

Ryou shrugged before reaching in through the window to give Yugi a hug. Bakura shook his head as he led his boyfriend into the house.

"Make sure to call Tristan and Joey," he said..

Yami nodded as he drove away. He looked over to Yugi who was staring out the window.

"I'm sorry, baby."

Yugi turned and looked at Yami with wide eyes, "Why? It's not your fault."

"Seriously? First off all, my dad had you kidnapped to kill you and try to change me from being gay. If that's not enough, it seems that ever since we've been together bad shit just keeps happening to you."

Yugi sighed, "Yami, it's not your fault. It's not your fault that your father was a psycho, or that these things happened to me. I mean the way I see it, it brings us closer together. All the shit that I've endured always seems to break us apart but it doesn't happen. I mean we're still together after a year. That's saying a lot, don't you think?"

Yami sighed, "Yeah, I guess. How the hell am I gonna tell my mother that I killed my dad?"

Yugi chuckled, "Just tell her the truth."

Yami pulled in front of the house and turned to Yugi before heading in the house, "Your daughter might ask where you were. I told her that you were spending the night at Joey's."

Yugi nodded and chuckled, "Okay."

They went into the house where they found Riena trying to rock a screaming Takara. Yugi sighed and walked over to Riena.

"I'll take her."

Riena nodded and handed Takara to her papa.

"Hey, sweetie, did you miss me?" Yugi said rocking his daughter.

"Papa," Takara whined.

"Oh, I know, sweetie. Papa's sorry he left you, but I'm back now, see?"

"Papa, 'Chos," Takara whined.

Yugi chuckled and shook his head, "No, sweetie you can have Cheerios in the morning but only if you go to sleep."

Takara shut her eyes and Yugi burst out laughing, "Good girl."

Yugi walked her back into the nursery and put her in the crib and then headed back into the living room. Riena smiled.

"Glad you're home Yugi. I'll leave now."

Yami nodded and kissed his mother on cheek. Yugi nudged him and raised his eyebrow. Yami sighed.

"Mom, wait a sec, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it dear?"

"I killed dad. He was the one who had Yugi kidnapped and he was gonna kill him. I didn't mean to do it."

Riena just nodded, "Well, I told him that one day he'll get what he deserves."

Yami just looked shocked at his mother. Riena chuckled.

"Yami, honey, your father, and I got divorced a couple of days ago. I didn't tell you because I couldn't find the right time or way to tell you. I was gonna tell you tonight but when you came back and told me about Yugi, I just couldn't."

"Wow, um, okay."

"Yeah, we divorced because he said he didn't want to be with someone who approved of their son being gay and in a gay relationship."

Yami chuckled, "Good to know."

Riena nodded, "Yeah, but I'm gonna go. You boys look beat to hell. Try and get some rest, boys."

Yugi and Yami nodded and walked her out. Yami locked the door and the two went to bed.
