A Blessing and a Tragedy

Yugi awoke the next morning to sunlight in his eyes. He looked around but didn't see Yami and Aqua with him.

He sat upright, afraid that something had happened to him. He then looked down and saw a note on the floor.

He picked it up and read it out loud.

Dearest Yugi:

We decided to let you sleep-in today. We know you're probably tired from last nights events.

Aqua and I went out on a hunt this morning and brought back a human to eat.

I know the thought might disgust you, but you need to learn how to hunt and you must learn to eat flesh.

When you find this note, we will probably be back. Come down for breakfast…or lunch, whichever time you wake up.

Love ya,

Yami and Aqua

P.S. Before I forget, we bought you a silk kimono that we were hoping you'd wear. Please wear it when you come down.

Yugi blushed at the thought of getting a silk kimono. He looked over to his side and there it was laid out nicely.

He got down onto the floor and stopped when he felt something soft underneath his foot.

He looked down and blushed as he saw a trail of rose petals that lead out of the room and probably to many other places.

He picked up the kimono and put it on. He looked in the mirror and saw the designs sewn on it.

It was a Japanese Dragon with fire coming out of its mouth, and on the back was the yin and yang symbol.

It was black all over so he understood why it cost so much.

Then he turned to the rose petals and followed them to the stairs where he saw a pair of sandals.

He slipped them on and followed the rest into the kitchen where he saw his lovers at the table waiting for him.

Yami was wearing a black kimono too, except his had a dragon on the back.

Aqua wore a black one too, but his had a chicken on the back and had flower designs on the front.

Yugi blushed seeing them looking so sexy. Aqua reached out his hand and took Yugi's into his.

Yami's hand was busy bringing him into his lap intentionally.

Yugi moaned as Yami and Aqua started kissing him on his neck and face.

"Good morning love." Yami said.

"Morning. You two didn't have to do this for me." Yugi stated.

"Yes we did," replied Aqua, "We wanted to show you that you mean the world to us. So we bought you a kimono. Do you like it?"

"Yeah I do. Thank you."

Solomon then walked in with heavy bags under his eyes.

Yugi looked at him with worry in his eyes.

"You ok grandpa?"

Solomon looked to them and smiled as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

"I'm fine Yugi. I just didn't get any sleep because you guys kept me up all night."

Yugi's face turned as red as a tomato. Yami and Aqua just chuckled. Yugi soon joined in with laughter.

He then noticed the two bite marks on his neck. Solomon saw that he was looking at his neck and explained to him what had happened.

"This morning Yami and Aqua came down and said that you had been turned. They said that I could be turned too, if I wanted to be.

I did so they bit me and now I'm a werewolf too."

Yugi smiled then got a sick look on his face. His breathing became rapid. Yami, Aqua, and Solomon saw this and all frowned.

Yami pat Yugi's back and tried to calm him down, nothing helped.

"Yugi, are you ok?"

Yugi didn't answer. He only jumped off of Yami's lap and ran for the bathroom. He leaned over the pot and emptied whatever was in his stomach.

He felt someone pull back his bangs and pet his back. When he was finished he flushed and got a towel and wiped his mouth.

"Yugi, are you okay?"

"I don't know Yami. Maybe it's the flu or something?"

Yami didn't respond but the thought still lingered on his mind.

'What if Yugi's pregnant?'

Yami put the thought aside and picked Yugi up and took him to the living room.

Solomon and Aqua were already there and immediately made a bed out of the couch.

Yami laid Yugi on it and covered him up.

"Yugi what happened?"

"I don't know grandpa. Maybe it's the flu?"

"Um….. Yugi I have a theory. It may be wrong but at least here it."

Everyone looked at Yami and waited for him to speak.

"Well Yugi I think you're pregnant."

Yugi's eyes widened twice their normal size. He had almost forgotten that he could get pregnant after mating with Yami and Aqua. He smiled.

"We need to be sure if that's what it is. Do you know anybody who can come since we're werewolves we can't see a human doctor."

"Yes. Her name is Keara. She's an old friend of ours. I'm sure she'll help us."

Yami got up and went to the phone and gave her a call. Aqua lay next to Yugi to keep him extra warm. Yugi smiled and almost fell asleep.

Solomon was sitting trying to keep calm. He was so excited at the thought of Yugi having children.

Yami came back into the room and said that Keara would be over in a few minutes.

"Yami… if I am pregnant, how long will it take for the pups to be born?"

"It will be at the most 9 weeks. Werewolves and other were-animals don't have to wait as long for the birth of their children like human females do.

Each week has the effect on the body as one month does."

Yugi nodded and there was a knock at the door. Solomon got up and answered it.

When he opened the door there stood a woman with long black hair, wings, and she was carrying a bag.

"You must be Keara. I'm Solomon, Yugi's grandfather. Please come in."

"Thank you. You already guessed my name. Now then, where are they?"

Solomon let her in and showed her to the living room. She smiled when she saw Yugi. But what do you expect?

From what Yami had told her over the phone, Yugi was the most beautiful person in the whole world.

"Hello Yugi. I'm Keara. Yami told me so much about you over the phone just now."

"Thank you."

Keara went around and shook Yami and Aqua's hands. She then told them to leave the room so she could get to the examination.

They moved into the kitchen leaving only those two alone. Keara lifted Yugi's legs and checked his reproductive organs.

Of which he never knew he had. Keara smiled and called for the three men to come back in.

Yami and Aqua immediately went to Yugi's side. Solomon sat down on the chair and they waited to hear what she had to say.

Keara looked around the group and smiled.

"Well I did find some interesting things."

Yami and Aqua got worried.

"What do you think it is Keara?"

"Well, I can't really do anything. But it's nothing that nine weeks won't cure."

They all looked at her with shock and dismay. Yugi was the only one to find his voice.

"W-W-What?"

"Congratulations Yugi. You're pregnant!" she said smiling.

Everything suddenly froze around them. Yami and Aqua jumped with joy while Solomon went to call all of their friends and tell them.

Yugi stayed silent until he started to cry tears of joy. His lovers hugged and snuggled him until he thought he could die. Everything was perfect.

Three weeks later

Yugi, Yami, Aqua, Solomon and all their friends were out eating. While they were away Pegasus and Dartz showed up at the house.

They burst the door open and went inside. Somehow they had found out that Yugi was pregnant. This wouldn't do.

Dartz and Pegasus split up to look and see if anyone was inside the house. Both found no one. They already had a plan in mind.

They would burn down the house and hide out only a few feet away. When the others pulled in, then they would attack.

They had brought oil from the warehouse they usually hide out at. Once they were sure that it was spread well, Pegasus switched to his human form and lit the house on fire.

After he had switched back, they went off to hide.

No more than 3 minutes later, here pulled up Yugi and the others. They all gasped in shock and dismay at what was happening.

They knew that this plan had Pegasus and Dartz written all over it. Yami and Aqua both switched to wolf form, along with Yugi and Solomon.

Everyone else also turned into their were-animal forms. Yami saw that Yugi had transformed. He went over to talk to him.

/"Yugi, I don't want you to fight. With you being pregnant Dartz and Pegasus will surely try to attack you."/

/"Yami, I love you. I just want to help you. I promise I'll be careful."/

That answer was good for Yami. Suddenly out of nowhere Pegasus and Dartz attacked. Everyone went forward to protect Yugi.

They knew that those two would go for Yugi first thing. Yugi's friends and Solomon stayed behind to be in front of Yugi.

Yami, Aqua, Seto, Ruby, Crimson, Toben, and Keara all went off to try and stop them. However, they fell into their trap.

They all fell down into a deep hole. Above them Pegasus and Dartz were smirking and laughing at them.

Pegasus and Dartz then turned their sight upon the hikari's and Solomon. They ran forward.

The others did what they thought was best and because they were scared and had to get away, they ran.

Yugi, of course, was in the middle because he couldn't run very fast with the baby and the others were protecting him on every side of him.

What he didn't know was that there was a little pot hole in the ground where he was heading. He then fell onto his back and couldn't roll back over.

The others turned back to help and tried to take on Dartz and Pegasus. Nothing helped them. Solomon was the first to go down.

They simply knocked him over and he twisted his paw.

Jou and Kaiser tried their luck. They lasted a little longer but were knocked unconscious. This happened with all of the others too.

Yami, Aqua, and the others finally crawled out of the hole. They gasped at what they saw. They then saw Pegasus and Dartz go after Yugi.

Yami and Aqua ran after them while the others tended to their hikari's but they were all waiting to see if they could help stop those two.

Yugi kept running but he didn't see the hole and tripped onto his back again. Pegasus and Dartz then did something that made everyone sick.

They began to bite Yugi on the legs and near his stomach where the pups were.

Seeing their lover in pain sent Yami and Aqua into a bloody rage. They ran forward and kicked those two off of Yugi.

Pegasus and Dartz tried to run away but Yami and Aqua were right on their tails.

They stopped running after them when they saw that they were going to the city. They ran back and wept at the sight of their lover.

Yugi's legs, fur, and face were covered with blood. He was whimpering and moaning in pain.

They ran forward and tried to comfort their lover but nothing helped. Keara came forward and told them that they needed to leave so that she could try to heal Yugi.

Seto knew of a covered area of the forest that was by a lake that would be safe for Yugi, Solomon, Yami and Aqua. He led them there.

No one had ever seen such a beautiful place. There was a little stream that flowed into the lake, the grounds and soil were rich and soft, and it was an easy access to the city.

Keara set up a tent so that she could work on Yugi. It was almost two hours later before she came back out.

"He's going to be fine. He's just tired from blood loss. The pups looked alright. We'll only know the full extent when they are born. You and Aqua can go and see him."

Yami and Aqua both went inside to see him. He looked so small in a big bed. He had to switch to his human form so that Keara could help him.

They hopped onto the bed and lay beside him on each side just like they had always done. Yami leaned down and nuzzled Yugi.

Aqua did the same. While doing so, tears leaked from their eyes. They were not able to protect their mate and it might cost the pups lives.

Yugi slowly awoke to nuzzles and wetness going down his face. He looked up and saw Yami and Aqua crying. He gently nuzzled them to show them love.

Yami and Aqua stopped their movements when they felt Yugi nuzzling them.

They kissed each other good night and lay down. All hoping that the pups were alright.

Elsewhere

Pegasus and Dartz were cleaning their wounds.

"Why did that happen?"

"Dartz, stop complaining. We did what we went there to do. And if Yugi is still able to have the pups. Then we will kill them when they are born!"

Dartz and Pegasus laughed out loud with an evil-like laugh. Their plan was working.

Yami and Aqua were now very depressed about what happened and Yugi was hurt as well. But not enough to kill him.

Now it was time to think of how they were going to get to Yugi and the pups, if they would live.
