General A/N: Here it is the chapter you’ve all been waiting for...the final one! I’ll probably start posting the sequel closer to Friday if I get it back by then. I’m training for my new job which is about 9 hours and then I have class for about 4 to 5 hours at night so for the next three days I probably won’t have a lot of computer time. Also, I’ve come up with a new story line for our lovely little YGO boys. The only problem is it has totally crushed my current Harry Potter story...lol. My mind went on vacation with that story on chapter 6 and came back with ideas for another one of these. I think I might start on the next YGO story this weekend if I can and put off the HP one until I get more ideas for it. But till then, here is the final chapter before the sequel...


Project: Destiny
Chapter Thirty Six
by Ravenx

The blonde behind Malik tightens his grip over the pale blonde’s mouth, his other arm snaking around the waist of the hikari. Lyca’s chubby legs and arms wail around the in Malik’s arms, his black stuffed cat falling to the floor, his dark violet eyes looking up into the blonde’s brown eyes, his crying filling the small entranceway.

“Shut it up.” The large blonde growls.

The tall red head quickly moves over to the two near the doorway of the living room, his long pale arms reaching out to pry the crying baby from Malik’s vice grip. The pale blonde shakes his head frantically behind the large hand, tears start fall from the corner of his eyes as he watches his son taken into the other boy’s arms.

“Shh. Hush, little guy.” The red head bounces up and down slightly trying to stop Lyca from crying.

“Come on, Ally, get it to be quite.” The spiky haired boy crosses his arms over his black clad chest.

“This isn’t as easy as you think, Val.”

“Shut up, both of you.” The large blonde hisses. “Alistar, get that thing to shut up. Valon, go upstairs and get the other two.”

“By myself?” Valon asks with raised eyebrows.

“Ye…” The blonde growls as Malik’s bare foot kicks back into his shin, the pale blonde struggling against his hold.

“Malik?” A voice calls gently from upstairs.

“What are we going to do?” Alistar asks as he continues to try and quiet Lyca’s cries.

“Malik? Is Lyca okay?” Ryou makes his way slowly down the stairs, Kiya gently rocking in his arms.

The white haired hikari freezes in the middle of the stairs, his light brown eyes looking around the entranceway at the four other boys. His arms tighten their hold on Kiya as the spiky brown haired boy starts to climb the stairs, his blue eyes watching every move Ryou makes.

“HELP! KURA!” Ryou screams at the top of his lungs before the Valon gets to him.

The brown haired boy covers Ryou’s mouth while his other hand tries to pull the baby girl from his arms, the hikari tries to move back up the stairs, instead falling gently on his bottom on one of the steps.

“What the hell is all the noise down here?” Marik asks from the top of the stairs, his pale blonde hair sticking up more than usual, his hands rubbing over his sleep filled eyes, his black boxers hugging his otherwise bare form.

The pale blonde yami yawns, his dark violet eyes opening and staring down a couple steps at the brown haired boy holding Ryou before he glances over to his struggling lover and crying son.

“What in the name of Ra is going on?” Marik growls loudly, his hands tightening into fist at his sides.

“Take it easy, mate.” Valon smiles nervously up at the large pale blonde, one of his hands still trying to take a now crying Kiya from Ryou’s arms.

Marik steps down the stairs until he stands right behind the sitting Ryou, a deep growl escaping from his throat as he narrows his dark violet eyes at Valon.

“I’d let go of both of them if I was you.”

“Everything is fine, mate.”

Valon slowly stands up, his hands dropping to his sides as his bright blue eyes continue to stare up at the pale blonde. Suddenly a large tanned hand is wrapped around his throat, his blue eyes widening as he is picked up off the stairs. Ryou quickly stands up, moving behind the large pale blonde while he tries to stop Kiya from crying, his light brown eyes brimming with tears.

“Put him down.” Alistar growls as he leans from foot to foot to keep Lyca quiet.

“Let Malik and my son go and I’ll think about it.”

“I don’t think you’re in any position to make demands. Release Valon or you’re little hikari and son die.” The large blonde tightens his hold on the crying Malik, the small pale blonde gasping his head is pulled back roughly.

“And you don’t care about him?” Marik growls, his own hand tightening on Valon’s neck.

“No.”

“Put him down.” Alistar says calmly.

“Looks like one of you care more than the other.”

“Kill him. I don’t care.” Rafael ignores the shocked look directed at him by Alistar.

Ryou slowly backs up the stairs, his daughter snug in his arms as his wide brown eyes look back and forth from Marik to the other large blonde.

“I wouldn’t do that if I was you.” Rafael glances up at the white haired boy before jerking Malik’s head back even further causing a small whimper to escape his hand from Malik’s lips.

“I’m getting tired of this.”

Marik flings the spiky brown haired boy over the railing of the stairs before he jumps over it himself, Valon hits the ground with a loud thud and grunt. As soon as Marik’s feet touch the ground he pushes himself toward the large blonde boy, his fist making contact with Rafael’s jaw causing the blonde to release Malik. The hikari quickly ducks out of the way as Marik’s other fist comes up to punch the larger boy again.

Ryou quickly runs up the rest of the stairs, his voice echoing off the walls as he cries out for help, Kiya crying loudly in his arms. Downstairs Malik wipes the tears from his eyes and cheeks, his light violet eyes narrowing as he steps up to Alistar, his bare foot kicking out to slam into the other boy’s upper thigh.

“Give me my son!”

“Ouch! Here, take him.” Alistar quickly hands Lyca over to Malik, running around the pale blonde to get to his fallen lover.

The red haired boy collapses to his knees next to his groan lover, the brown haired boy pulls his right arm to his chest, holding it tightly as he winces in pain. Yami and Bakura suddenly run down the stairs, their hikaris and children right behind them, the white haired yami moves swiftly down the last of the steps, his loose white pajama bottoms riding low on his hips, turning and punching at the large blonde about to hit Marik. Yami stops beside the pale blonde hikari, his hands reaching over to brush a strain of hair out of Malik’s tear stained face, his dark blue boxers slide down his thin hips slightly.

“Are you alright, Malik?”

“They took Lyca from me.” Malik pouts as he kisses his son all of his face.

“He is okay now.” Yami reassures the pale blonde as he turns around, his dark purple eyes narrowing at the red headed boy leaning over to brown haired boy.

Marik ducks a punch thrown by Rafael, the fist flying through his pale blonde hair to connect with Bakura’s cheek as one of Marik’s tanned fist hit the large blonde in the stomach. Bakura staggers back slightly before his dark brown eyes blaze with hatred, turning him shoots his right leg out roughly, kicking Rafael in the chest causing him to fall back onto the white carpet of the living room with a grunt.

“You’re the ones who took our hikaris from us.” Yami growls as he steps next to the two boys laying on the floor.

“Wasn’t…our idea, mate.” Valon grunts out through clenched teeth, his blue eyes filling with tears as he continues to hold his arm to his chest.

“Doesn’t matter you still took them from us.”

One of Yami’s arms lifts straight out next to him, his palm facing the still fighting blonde on the floor of the living room. The room seems to grow darker, a sharp black lightning runs down the tri-colored haired yami’s arm, encircling his wrist before pooling in the palm of his hand.

“I think we should teach you a lesson.”

Marik and Bakura quickly move away from the large blonde as a large black ball of energy surround by the lightning shoots out of Yami’s hand toward Rafael. The large blonde yells as the darkness engulfs him completely, the room turning pitch black for several minutes, the only sound echoing off the walls are that of the babies crying, the hikari’s trying to stop them.

As the lights come back on Yami stands with his arms by his sides, his bare chest rising and falling fast as a light sweat drips down his body. The large blonde is gone from the living room, the only thing left of him is his leather coat which lays on the white carpet between the other two yamis, Alistar and Valon gulp as their eyes move from the coat to the yami near them.

The hikaris stand at the bottom of the stairs with their babies wrapped tightly in their arms, Lyca giggles as he watches his father get up from the living room floor to move next to Yami. Bakura slowly gets up, following the pale blonde until he stands over the red and brown haired boys, his dark brown eyes narrowing down at them.

“Listen, we don’t want any trouble. We’ll leave and you’ll never have to see us again.” Alistar quickly says, one of his hands nested in Valon’s thick brown hair while the other one resting gently on the other’s injured arm.

“Too late for that.” Bakura growls, his fist punches out to slam into Alistar’s jaw causing the red head to slump over Valon’s body.

“Hey! Don’t touch him.” Valon growls as he tries to sit up.

“Shut up.” The white haired yami bends down, hitting the other boy in the jaw, knocking him out cold.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

“I didn’t think you had it in you, Pharaoh.” Bakura smirks as he holds his daughter, her small mouth and gums nibbling on his bare shoulder as he pats her back.

“Where exactly did you send him, Yami?” Seto asks from next to the white haired yami, his arms crossed over the top of his tight black trench coat.

“The Shadow Realm.” Dark purple eyes stay locked on his small hikari on the other side of the living room with Ryou and Malik, their son fast asleep in Yugi’s arms.

“So these are the ones that kidnapped us?” Joey stands next to his lover, an arm wrapped around Seto’s waist, his large blue jeans and gray shirt hanging loosely on his body, his honey colored eyes looking over at the two boys tied up tightly on the sofa.

“Yes.”

“Why didn’t you send them to the Shadow Realm?” The white haired yami asks.

“We need to ask them some questions. Find out who sent them and why exactly they allowed our hikaris and Joey to have children.”

“Then can we kill them?”

“Maybe.”

Malik stands against the doorframe of the living room with Lyca tightly held in one arm, his other arm wrapped around Marik’s neck, his yami holding him gently with his chin on top of his pale blonde head. Yugi bounces from foot to foot slowly to keep Asheru asleep, Ryou stands next to the shorter boy, his arms wrapped around his own chest as he glances across the room at his lover and daughter.

“You alright, kitsune?” Marik asks quietly.

“Better now. Why aren’t they in the Shadow Realm or better yet dead?” Malik’s light violet eyes stare at the two unconscious boys on the sofa.

“The Pharaoh wants to talk to them.”

“Are you really okay, Malik?” Yugi asks quietly.

“Better now that Lyca is back with me.” The pale blonde leans down to kiss his son’s head.

“I can’t believe Yami sent that guy to the Shadow Realm.” Ryou whispers. “I didn’t think he had it in him to do that.”

“I’m glad he did. I just wish he had let Marik and Bakura beat him up a little more.”

“You okay, tenshi?” Bakura asks as he comes over to his hikari, his hand rubbing Kiya’s back as the baby starts to drift off to sleep.

“Yeah, a little freaked out but I think that’s normal for this situation.” Ryou chuckles softly.

“Hey, they’re waking up.” Joey says loud enough for everyone to hear, his honey colored eyes watching as they all move toward the sofa.

“Uh…my head.” The boy with the thick accent slowly opens his blue eyes, a gasp of pain slipping forth from his lips as he tries to move his arms tied in his lap.

“Wake up, sleepy head.” Bakura growls.

“Oh, shit.” Valon looks around at the anger and scared faces looking down at him before looking next to him as Alistar starts to wake up.

“Who are you?” Yami sits down the coffee table in front of the two boys.

“Valon. And he is Alistar.”

“Who do you work for?”

“Dr. D.”

“Who?”

“Dr. Dartz.” Alistar moans as his gray eyes open fully.

“Who is he?”

“We don’t really know. He is a doctor that likes to experiment on people but nothing bad, really.”

“You kidnapped our hikaris for him.” Marik growls.

“He wanted to do his newest experiment about male pregnancy but he wanted what he called the perfect subjects.” Valon says.

“Perfect subjects?” Seto asks.

“He wanted to know what would happen if yamis and their hikaris had kids. If they would have any special powers.” Alistar stares at the tri-colored haired yami in front of him.

“How did he know we were yamis and hikaris?” Yugi asks quietly.

“He had us do research on all of you. He put two and two together and figured out what you were.”

“But we aren’t like them.” Joey speaks up.

“He wanted to have a normal experiment too. One that didn’t have any yamis or hikaris and he figured you two would be the best choice.” Valon shrugs.

“Why are you here tonight?” Yami asks.

“He told us to come and get the kids.” The red head looks around the group.

“Why?”

“What’s the use of an experiment if you can’t see what the outcome is? He wanted to do some test to see if and how they differ from normal kids.” Valon says.

“You were going to take our kids away.” Malik hisses.

“Yes.” Alistar nods. “We were told to come get the three here and then go get yours.” He motions toward Seto and Joey.

“You aren’t taking them.” Bakura growls through clenched teeth.

“Well, not now we aren’t.” Valon mumbles.

“Do want to join your friend?” Yami asks seriously.

“No! Shut up, Val.” Alistar whispers the last part to the brown haired boy next to him before turning back toward Yami. “He wasn’t really a friend, just a big bully really. We didn’t want to injure any of you or your kids.”

“But you still kidnapped us and did experiments on us that could have gone wrong. We could have been hurt or killed and the same goes for our babies.” Malik hisses.

“We didn’t have anything to do with that. Dr. D was positive that his theories on male pregnancies were correct.” Valon winces as he moves his arm slightly.

“Did you have anything to do with our wreck?” Seto asks with narrowed ice blue eyes.

“You weren’t meant to be hurt. The drivers of the other car went a little overboard but you should know that Joey was taken care of right after I got him to the lab.” Alistar says quickly.

“Where is this lab?”

“On the outskirts of town but…we can’t give you directions to it.” Valon sighs.

“And why not?”

“Cause if you don’t kill us then he will.”

“Look, we don’t want to kill you…” Yami starts.

“Yes we do.” Malik interrupts.

“Most of us don’t want to kill you.” Yami shakes his head. “I don’t even want to send you to the Shadow Realm. I was anger and took it out on that other guy, not that I regret it but I don’t want to do that again.”

“Then what are you going to do to us?” Alistar asks.

“You’re going to go back to this Dr. Dartz and tell him that if any of us ever see or hear of him or you two again that no one will ever be able to find all of your body parts.” Yami hisses.

“We can completely understand that.” Valon smiles sweetly. “You’ll never see us ever again.”

“You three and anyone else he wants to bring into this had best stay away from our hikaris and children.”

“That includes Joey and Talan.” Seto adds.

“Of course. You’ll never see us again. We promise.” Alistar nods.

“I say we don’t let them go. We kill them and then find this doctor guy and kill him.” Malik speaks up.

“No, we aren’t going to kill them as long as they don’t mess with us again.” Yami narrows his dark purple eyes as he looks from Valon to Alistar. “You know what Marik, Bakura, and I are. You know what we are capable of. You saw what I did to your friend and you know we can do much worse than that. This isn’t a threat you should take lightly, if we ever see you again we won’t hesitate to kill you.”

“And you shouldn’t forget about me either. I have connects that could make what little life you have left a living hell.” Seto hisses, his arms wrapping around Joey’s waist.

“We understand. Trust me you don’t have to worry about ever seeing us again.” Alistar says seriously.

“Yeah, we’re sorry, mates.” Valon agrees.

Yami slow stands up, leaning down to pull the two boys up by the ropes wrapped around their wrist, ignoring the whimper of pain that escapes Valon’s lips. He pulls them by the others which follow them to the door, turning around he unties the rope, throwing it over near the stairs, he opens the door to reveal the dark night. The boys watch as Valon and Alistar step onto the porch, the red head turning around for a moment to look at them.

“Thank you. And believe us when we say you won’t see or hear of us ever again.” Alistar turns back around, an arm wrapping around Valon’s waist as they quickly walk down the stairs and toward the sidewalk.

“I still say you should kill them.” Malik hisses as Yami shuts the door.

“They weren’t like their friend.” Yami says.

“What do you mean?” Yugi asks quietly.

“All I felt from the other one was evil and danger but I didn’t get that from them. They were more scared for each other than anything.”

“They were lovers?” Ryou asks as he takes his sleeping daughter from Bakura.

“I think so.”

“Do you trust that this Dartz man won’t come after our children again?” Marik looks from Lyca to the other yami.

“I think they will get the message across to him not to mess with us and if he does he will know we won’t hesitate to destroy him like I did the other guy.”

“I don’t think we should worry about it anymore. They are gone, let’s just get on with our lives.” Yugi says.

“I agree with Yugi.” Ryou nods. “Besides, Kiya has been up too long, she needs to go to bed.”

“We should be getting back to the house before Talan drives Mokuba crazy.” Seto says. “Are you sure you’re all alright?”

“Yes, thanks for coming over when we called.” Yami opens the door back up.

“No problem. Besides I wanted to see who gave me a chance to have a son.” The brunette shrugs.

“Me too. But now I want to go home and get some sleep.” Joey yawns. “How about we come over tomorrow?”

“The sounds great, Joey.” Ryou smiles.

“Good. Ja ne, guys!” Joey and Seto moves down the stairs to their car parked on the side of the road, Yami shutting the door behind them.

“We should really be getting to bed, its late or early however you want to look at it.” Yugi speaks up as he moves toward the stairs.

“I think I’m going to do what Ryou and Bakura do, at least for tonight.” Malik says.

“And what’s that?” The white haired hikari turns around to look at the pale blonde.

“Let Lyca sleep between me and Marik tonight.”

“I don’t know if that’s a good idea.” Yami shakes his head.

“Why not?”

“Marik could squish him easily. At least Bakura is thin enough that he won’t really hurt Kiya, Marik is liable to kill poor Lyca.”

“Good point.” Malik nods before turning to his lover. “You can sleep on the floor tonight.”

“What? Why? I won’t hurt Lyca.” Marik follows his lover up the stairs with everyone else.

“I don’t want to take that chance, I mean you roll over some nights and squish my leg I don’t want that to be my son. You can either sleep in the floor or sleep down here on the sofa, just make sure you keep an eye on the door.”

“Fine, I’ll sleep on the floor. This is so not fair.” Marik mumbles the last part.

“Well, get used to it cause this is how it will be until I feel safe again.”

“You’re safe with me.”

“Yeah, that’s why I was almost choked and Lyca was almost taken from us tonight.” Malik hisses over his shoulder as he opens his bedroom door.

“Will you two stop fighting and go to bed?” Ryou asks sweetly as he passes them. “I think we’re safe now. We don’t have to worry about them again.”

“I hope you’re right.” The small pale blonde sighs as he leans down to kiss his baby boy on the head before moving into his bedroom followed closely with his larger lover.
