Author's notes: I'm back, and another long chapter is coming your way. I added a lot of info in this chapter, especially some info on horses. I had some writer's block so I posted a one shot that so far only one reviewer, kinda upset. I do not own, Yugioh, MMMG's ideas, or anything else, except for Hashira. Enjoy.

It's the we leave for Japan, and I am just a bundle of hyperactivity, I can't wait to leave. The sooner we leave, the sooner I can be with Drago-Shiro. The trip will take about 1 ½ - 2 months, given there aren't any problems on the road. Bandits and the like, but that's why Bakura and Marik were going, and one of the multiple reasons I'm going. I have just been worried because Yugi has been kind of nauseous and I can't help him in any way, because I am half horse and horses can't throw up, instead we get sick to the point where we can die. Luckily Isis is able to help. I also can smell that there is a change in Yugi's scent, but I just can't put my hoof onto what is up. I am with Yugi trying to help him not be nervous about going to Japan, I mean he was from Japan, unfortunately he doesn't remember and I'm not going to spoil knowing to him.

"Ready?" Atemu asks as he comes up behind us. "Yes." Yugi smiles before turning away, his face drooping again. "What's wrong?" Atemu asks. "Nothing." Yugi quickly puts on a false smile. "Yugi," Atemu gives a stern look. "I know when you're lying to me. What's wrong?" "It feels odd to leave." Yugi admits. "Egypt is all I know, and now I'm going to a place I've only heard of about six months ago." "More like five and a half." I say as Atemu takes Yugi into his arms. "Everything will be alright. You know how to behave better than I do. Here, and in the ways of the Japanese court." Atemu tells him. Yugi blushes at the praise, but Atemu is right. He picked up how to behave as a guest faster than Atemu did. Atemu, though he really doesn't want to admit it, still has trouble using chop sticks. Yugi has given him some small lessons, but they didn't seem to be helping. I say, "Yugi, I'll help you and Atemu, just like Toshiro helped me. I don't need to be taught because Toshiro already gives me lessons, afterall he lives their." I wink. "How's your nausea?" Atemu asks, changing the subject. "It's gone." Yugi replies with a real smile. "Thanks to Isis's medicine. It is truly vile stuff though." "Trust me," Atemu chuckled, "I know."

I smell pranksters so I say, "Atemu." and point in a direction. Atemu, Yugi and I turn to see a grinning Bakura and Marik walking towards us. "Your father's wondering what's taking you three so long." Marik says as he smirks at the Yugi and Atemu. "But it seems we just caught them at the wrong time." Bakura snickers as he finishes. "You weren't going to get dirty in the hallway were you?" "No!" Yugi squeaks as he turns bright red. "Will you quit?" Ryou hisses at Bakura as he smacks him upside the head. "Yugi has more common sense than that. So does Atemu. You, on the other hand…" "Ow! I was teasing." Bakura whines as he rubs his head. "And that hurt." "Good." Ryou nods his head while Marik and Malik cling to each other as they laugh and I am dieing of laughter very loudly. "It was supposed to." "You're going to be in for a huge punishment later." Bakura growls. "Maybe I want you to punish me." Ryou grins saucily, making Marik and Malik stop laughing, I laugh even harder, and Yugi starts giggling. "What?" "Marik was right." Yugi giggles. "It really is the quiet ones." "No kidding." I agree. "That's twice now that the innocent ones have surprised us with something naughty like that." Marik sighs as he shake his head. "Oh," Atemu glances down at Yugi. "I don't know about that." "Shut up." Yugi cries out as he punches Atemu's arm. "Ryou is surprisingly devious at times as well." Bakura smirks as Ryou tries to clobber him, but ends up making out against a wall. "Is this 'Embarrass your Lover Day'?" Ryou asks with a blush when they finally pull apart. "Because I apparently missed the memo." I sigh and say, "Ra, can we please not talk about your sex lives, at least until I meet with Toshiro."

"Come on." Malik shakes his head, but chuckles none the less. "We need to get going." "You're lucky we're leaving." Yugi shakes his head as he tries to get rid of his blush. "And why is that?" Atemu asks playfully. "Because if we weren't," Yugi looked up innocently, "I would have set Kuriboh on you." "You wouldn't." Atemu gasps. "Like I said, we're leaving." Yugi replies. "So, no." "How much trouble do you think Tea will cause this trip?" Bakura asks. "She'll probably whine the whole way." Marik snickers. "No kidding." Atemu sighs. "I don't know if I can last. Toshiro will be the only thing keeping me from becoming as insane as Bakura and Marik.

"That was a long journey." Seto sighs as the watchman calls that land is spotted. "We're not there yet." Joey points out. "He's just relieved that we can get off this boat. Quite frankly, I am too. Tea was really running my nerves." Atemu replies as he and Yugi exit their room. /I officially hate boats, if I have to spend another day with Tea, I might drown myself./ I am currently in shadow creature form, because; one, the flames on my body keep me warm from the cold, two, I can spread my wings and fly outside so I can get away from Tea. After traveling for a month and a half, the shore of Japan is in sight and in a week or two, we will arrive at the palace. "What's with the outfits, and why are you in shadow creature form Hashira?" Marik asks as he and Malik come up the hallway. Yugi and Atemu are wearing Kimono's just like Toshiro. "Yeah, you're going to roast in those, Ryou won't take his off, and Hashira, you sure you won't overheat." Bakura agrees as he and Ryou, who is wearing a kimono that shows that he is a personal servant.

/Toshiro says that it is a lot colder in Japan than in Egypt, Atemu's dad says that it is also a lot colder, we are taking the offer of warmer clothes, luckily for me I can withstand the cold but when I go to human form, I will change clothes. I also am in this form so I can fly away a good distance from Tea./ Atemu says, "Yes, we are taking the warning before stepping out and seeing how cold it actually is." Marik smirks and says, "Chickens, bak bak bak." and then he inmates a chicken. I immediately get angry, which causes me to spread my wings, one of my natural defense instincts that are very dominant in my brain as a way to intimidate my enemies into leaving the hell alone, causing Marik to back away, before Atemu and I chase him and those laughing onto the main deck.

"Good Ra! It was never this cold in the desert." Bakura exclaims. "You had a blanket then, and me." Ryou, who is perfectly warm in his choice of clothes, reminds him. "Freezing." Marik says as his teeth chatter. "No kidding." Malik agrees. I do a horsey smirk and say, /Don't you wish that you had a layer of fur on your body to keep you warm, and maybe some flames to keep you warm./ Marik, Malik, and Bakura nod as Joey yells from below deck, "Okay, Seto and I are going to take the cold weather warning and put our kimonos on before heading on deck." /Care to rethink the 'you're gonna roast' idea./ I say as I nicker out of laughter. (A/N: Nickering is a lovely, low, staccato sound that usually means, "Hi there. I'm so happy to see you." You can usually hear this sound when you are feeding a horse. Horses nicker to people and horses, but I am just putting it as a horse way of laughing at the moment.) "Yeah." Bakura mutters as he follows Marik and Malik back down, Ryou following to help his lover get dressed. "That was funny." Yugi giggles and Atemu chuckles and I nicker out of laughter. "Indeed it was."

My ears start flicking back and forth very quickly and I hold my head high, which in horse language means, "I'm really worried!" and I have every right to be as I hear, smell and sense Tea coming quickly. I spread my wings, take flight, and fly on the side of the boat at the same speed because I can easily overtake this boat with my speed. I fly above the water, but below deck so Tea doesn't see me. Spend 1 ½ months with the woman who tried to murder you and you do not want to be around when they come towards you. I hear Tea call, "Atemu!" so I decide to listen in. I peek above deck and see Tea, wearing a kimono. 'Ra, dammit. I wish she didn't take the cold weather warning so that I can see her freezing her ass off. It would have been so hilarious.' One moment I see her trying to be seductive to Atemu, the next moment, I see Yugi telling her off. I fly above deck, hovering in the air, neighing my approval, as I see whistles and cheers from kimono clad Bakura, Marik, Malik, Seto, Joey, Ryou, Mahad, Isis, and a few sailors, along with Tea being once again, a jaw dropped bitch.

Yugi looks embarrassed and I hear one of the sailors call, "All ashore." I fly off the deck and onto the ground. I hear Yugi and Atemu talk about something and hear the words, nausea, mood swings, odd cravings and clothing tight around the middle. I know that these are symptoms that human women have when they are pregnant, but I shrug off the idea of Yugi being pregnant, because he is a guy, men can't have kids, and he hadn't taken the spell that would allow him to have a kid so I just shrug it off, although I do notice that there is something off about his scent, Ryou's scent is starting to smell similar to Yugi's, but I still can't put my hoof onto what it is. I start to smell the air for Toshiro's scent, and I catch a whiff of the smell in the direction of the Japanese palace, unfortunately it would take another 2 weeks to arrive.

We find someplace and make camp. After dinner, Yugi tells me that he is going to see Isis about something, and he even forbids Atemu from going, since he can get really nervous when Yugi is sick or anything, I swear to Ra, if Toshiro turns out like that, even though I have a pretty good idea from the time I got hurt via Tea, I will cut Toshiro off for a month. Since everyone goes to sleep in a tent, aka no room for a 900 pound filly in a tent, (A/N: On average an adult horse weighs from 1100 to 1300 pounds, but since Hashira is not full grown until she is 20, I made it so one human year to a horse is like 5 years and horses aren't full grown till 4 years old, and since she is short for her age, I cut a few pounds off of her, just so you readers know so you don't think she is fat.), I build a box out of firewood and have it big enough for me to sleep in. I change back to shadow creature form, use my magic to make it catch on fire, then I lie down in the flames, fire can't burn my flesh let alone kill me, and drift off to dream land.

Dream start:"Hey Drago-Shiro!" I yell cheerfully. Toshiro looks at me and says, "Hey Uni-Shira." I giggle and say, "Drago-Shiro, guess what." Toshiro looks at me and says, "What?" I say, "We landed on Japan's shores today. As soon as I stepped hoof on Japan's soil, I could smell your scent, even if it was faint, I could smell you. We will arrive at the palace in about 2 weeks." Toshiro looks at me and then a smile as big as the Nile River happens upon his face. He says, "Great Uni-Shira, we can finally see each other in person for the first time." I nod and then say, "Drago-Shiro, right now you are the only thing in my life keeping me from going insane." He looks at me and says, "She still bugging you." I nod and say, "Today, I was laughing my ass off, because Tea was coming onto Atemu and Yugi actually told her off. It was epic." Toshiro says, "Fill me in on everything." I fill him in on it and then we snuggle for the rest of the dream.:End Dream.

I wake up the next morning and see that the would still has flames on it and Yugi is looking at me. I ask, /What?/ Yugi asks, "One, what are you doing in shadow creature form and two, why are you sleeping in fire?" I explain it to him and then we head to breakfast. After breakfast, Yugi and Atemu tell me and the others come into their tent for they have something important to tell us.

At first they are nervous, but I say, "Come on, spit it out you two." Yugi says, "I'm pregnant." "WHAT!" Everyone including me shout. I knew he was pregnant, but I didn't think it was possible.

This time, Atemu and Yugi stay firmly on the ground, compared to the engagement announcement. "How is that possible?" Joey asks while gaping like a fish. "Do I really need to explain that concept, after all it is usually a woman thing?" I ask with a concerned look. "No!" Joey blushes. "Ra. What I mean is, Yugi is male. How can he be pregnant? I know he hasn't taken the spell that allows him to conceive yet." "We don't know." Yugi answers. "But since I'm pregnant, I think you three should get checked out as well." "Why?" Malik asks, looking as confused as Joey. "Because," Ryou explains, a bit exasperated, "since we believe we came from the same area, we also might be able to have kids without use of a spell." I, at the moment, am trying to hold myself back from telling them that I know they are from this country, and it is very hard. "Oh." Malik and Joey look down. "That is a good idea." Joey mutters. "I wonder if Isis has told father yet." Yugi mumbles. "Did she say she would?" I ask. "Yes." Atemu nods. "But she might wait until we're with him."

"Prince Atemu." Honda speaks from outside the tent, not being able to hear us inside due to a silencing spell. Atemu stands and goes to the entrance. He pulls back to flap of cloth that is the door and nods to his friend. "Honda." Atemu says. "Does father need to see me?" "You and Lord Yugi." Honda replies, his eyes widening before adding in a whisper, "How did you know?" "You seem to be summoning myself and Yugi to my father a lot lately." Atemu replies. "True." Honda admits. "I am also to escort you and Lord Yugi to him." "Alright then." Yugi says from behind Atemu. We heard the conversation. "Can we come?" Bakura asks as he appears behind Yugi. "Yeah." Marik adds. "Honda?" Atemu asks. Everything depends on what his father said. "To a point." Honda replies. "Like, outside of the tent." "Honda, I'll help you keep them from entering." I say with a smile. "That works." Malik says as we all file out. When we get there, Atemu and Yugi enter the tent while Honda and I keep everyone else from entering.

After a while we are told that their is going to be an announcement. "Wonder what the announcements about?" One of the guards says as he mounts his horse and quickly goes up next to the pharaoh's carriage. "Don't know." Another says as he take his place next to his friend. "But the pharaoh said it was important." I smell Tea and head toward Atemu for the safety.

"Attention." The pharaoh calls from the steps of his carriage. "It is time for the announcement." Everyone quiets down as High Priest Mahad, High Priestess Isis, High Priest Seto, with Joey behind him, Prince Atemu, Lord Yugi and me stand on opposite sides of the pharaoh. "It was discovered last night that Lord Yugi is 2 ½ months pregnant with Prince Atemu's child." The pharaoh announces, receiving surprised gasps and mutters from the entire company, excluding those who already know. "About time!" Bakura shouts near the back of the crowd, making Ryou slap him upside the head as Marik, Malik and I double over in laughter while some of the crowd chuckles as well. "Oh Ra." Yugi mutters. "It's not that bad love." Atemu whispers gently. "Blame the hormones." Yugi replies. "Remember, my moods are all over the place." "Duly noted." Atemu says with humor in his voice. "Move out!" A shout comes, making Yugi and Atemu do a mad dash for their carriage, and me to the side of their carriage in order to guard them, before it started moving.

"Wow." I say as I look at the palace. It is two weeks later, and we arrived in the capital city. I am in horse form so I let out a loud whinny toward the palace. Everyone looks at me weird and then a loud roar can be heard from the palace. I let out another whinny saying that we will be at the palace in a few hours and another roar of approval is heard. It is then I hear Yugi start to go to sleep. Being pregnant taxed Yugi's strength. He is starting to become tired very easily and has to use the bathroom more. Atemu really hopes that the people of Japan can accommodate to Yugi's needs, while I on the other hand know that they can. He needs a little slack.

A couple hours later, we arrive at the palace. I look up and see Toshiro in shadow creature form on the roof looking at me, obviously making sure that no one attacks us. He flies down and we stare into each others eyes, before we go to human form and kiss. The kiss feels wonderful since it is real and not a dream. We pull away, and I smell something in the air. I say, "Toshiro, do you smell something, because I can also sense a horrible feeling nearby." Toshiro nods, and I walk back to the carriage. "Whoa." the driver of the carriage says, pulling the horses to a stop. As the door opens, I suddenly see a flash of magic come rushing into the carriage.

Author's notes: Finally, some Fantasyshipping outside of dream world is going down, and I made a cliffhanger. Hashira, won't fear Tea anymore with Toshiro by her side. Put Hashira's ruby eyes that seem to pierce into your soul + Toshiro's turquoise eyes which also seem to pierce into your soul = Tea getting shivers down her spine whenever the two lovers look at her. We will learn some interesting things about the hikaris next time. -has a devilish smirk- Please Review!
