Flashback

“NO! NO! NO! GAH-DAMMIT, THAT’S WRONG!” screeches the tyrant CEO of Kaiba Corp, Gozuburo Kaiba. He slams the laptop on top of tiny hands, causing the owner to yelp in pain. “THE TOLERENCE AND DATUM FEATURES ARE ALL FUCKED UP! NO DINNER OR EVEN SLEEP UNTIL YOU GAH-DAMMIT GET IT RIGHT! IF YOUR DUMBASS HAVEN’T REALIZED BY NOW, THE DEADLINE IS FUCKING TOMMORROW!”

The tiny brunet winces as his abusive adoptive father applies more force to his crushed hands. A few of his fingers actually feels broken…

“B-But you j-just gave me….th-this…graphic layout…to-today…”

Water spills over big doleful blue eyes.

“WHAT YOU FUCKING CRYING FOR!? I SWEAR IF I EVEN BELIEVED IN A GOD, I WOULD’VE CALLED HIM A BASTARD FOR CREATING YOU!”

The child completely breaks down and cries at the words being said to him. He would’ve called God a bastard too…and for the same reason.

“A fucking woman…that’s all you are…a fucking woman.” The spiteful CEO quickly moves behind the small desk that he had conveniently placed beside his huge one. He grabs the boy roughly by the arm and yanks him to the ground. The heavy chains which confines the boy’s wrists to the desk clangs loudly.

“You might as well cut your dick off because you probably would never use it. You’ll be too busy being someone’s bitch…MY bitch.” Gozuburo snarls with lust clouding the words.

The tormented boy sobs silently as he knows what will happen now. No matter what, rather he pleases his adoptive father or not. It would always end with the same outcome.

“I tried to make a man out of you…but those gah-damn emotions, crying and acting so fragile…Mmmm, hell you even MOAN like a woman…”

“AHHHRGHHHHHH. HAHAAAAAA!” The young brunet flails helplessly as his deranged father’s phallus forces itself through his already abused passage.

“Such a fucking woman....”

End Flashback

Jou sighs as he continues to stare at his love’s sleeping form. He never did get a word out of the brunet. It was like trying to stop a broken dam. The tears took hours to finally recede…well it seem that way to the blonde.

He places a gentle hand over the head full of soft silky locks. He moves some of it back and marvels at how it seems to fall right back into order, not a strand misplaced.

Seto moans lightly at the slight disturbance but stays perfectly asleep. This earns a chuckle from the other.

The door suddenly and slowly creaks open to reveal Mura-sensei. Seeing that his patient is sound asleep, he makes his attempt to leave.

But a now irate lover wouldn’t have any of it as he swiftly makes his way across the room. This fucking bastard was going to tell him what the hell’s going on with his angel and he won’t take no for an answer!

“Hmmm?” The doctor raises his eyebrows in surprise as he realizes he could no longer close the door.

“And where do ya think ya goin’ witout sayin’ hello?”

Mura-sensei sighs as he turns around to face his inevitable confrontation.

“Jounouchi-san…”

“What’s wrong wit him? What’s wrong with mah angel? Why was he jus actin’ like he had one foot in da gah-damn grave!?”

Sighing, the physician takes off his glasses and briefly wipes them. As he puts them back onto his face he replies, “He’s not dying…that much I can say.”

“NO! Ya can say more dan dat ya damn white coat bastard! Tell me what’s goin’ on!”

“Your voice and your language, Jounouchi-san.”

“Fuck dat!”

Mura-sensei silently counts to ten before responding. “You may be his…lover, but I still have the right to not discuss his condition with you. If you want to know, try talking to Kaiba-sama yourself.”

Seeing red, Jou begins to open his mouth with the intention of giving out as much curses he could muster.

“KATSU! KATSUUUUUUUUUUUU!!”

Anger immediately recedes as the blond rushes back in and stops dead in his tracks at the scene before him.

The now alert brunet is hugging himself as he rocks back and forth. However what really got to Jou, was Seto’s glaring eyes. They were cold, very cold. He could’ve sworn he could see frost on the long eyelashes. He honestly thought he would never see those eyes again.

“Take me home.” The hysterical teen rasps out.

"Angel..."

“Take me the fuck home, you gah-damn mutt!!”

Hazel eyes widen. Did he just…?

“TAKE ME HOME NOW!!!” Seto screeches as he suddenly grabs one of his pillows and chucks it towards his seme’s head.

The blond skillfully ducks as the pillow hit some equipment by the door, causing a series of crashes.

“SETO! WHAT DA FUCK?!” Jou bellows out, trying so hard not to get angry. However as tears begins to well up in the blue orbs, all negative feelings flies out the window once again.

“Just…take me…home…” the brunet whimpers as he chokes back a sob, rocking back and forth once again but a lot more violently. “I…I…just want to…to go home! I…I…want…to w..wake up in my…my…own bed and r..realize….it’s all…a nightmare.”

“Set, I don’t understand…” the blond whispers out, pitifully.

“Please…Katsu…Please….”

Jou eyes sharpen as he made his decision. Maybe it would be better if they talk at the Kaiba Mansion. Maybe his beloved uke just needed to be back into his own element. The doctors here were pissing him off anyhow.

“Alright, I’ll take ya home. But ya must promise me dat when I do dat ya will tell me what’s wrong. Okay?” The hazel-eyed teen pauses a moment as he allows for the brunet to give his nod in agreement, which he hesitantly did.

***

“And if you step this way gentleman” A petite woman in a navy blue business suit walks across the hardwood floor to a door on the adjacent right wall that separates the empty living room from the kitchen. She swiftly opens the door to reveal a small half-bathroom. “The plumbing has been completed just yesterday and my husband and I have thoroughly cleaned out this area.”

She nudges past the two men with deep tans as she nods her head for them to follow. She goes back to her left to a door that’s in the far corner and opens it to reveal another room. “This is one of the bedrooms.” She pauses to go in. “It’s very spacey and is perfect for the guest or master bedroom.”

Tiny hands tugs at window blinds to reveal a breath-catching view of the nightlife of Domino City. “Quite the gorgeous view, I must say and you can actually see a good view of Kaiba Corp straight ahead.”

The shorter of the two men smirks at this.

“The other bedroom further down the hall is a little smaller due to the fact that the main bathroom is quite big. Would you like to go see those rooms as well, errr ...?” Brown eyes with chocolate brown locks surrounding them looks up expectantly at the two guests.

“Ishtar.” Light violet eyes gleams menacingly as he wraps one arm around the waist of the other man, whose red eyes sparkle in acknowledgement. “Malik Ishtar and this is my…lover and best friend, Odji Ishtar. We’ve secretly gotten married and moved from our home county of Egypt.”

The dirty blond grins at his calculated lie.

“Interesting…” the woman drawls out as she nervously taps at her clipboard with her black fountain pen.

Malik chuckles, “I hope you’re not having second thoughts about us moving here. It’s really a nice place…to die for actually…”

“I’m just worried about the safety of the other residents.”

“Hmmm, what is your name again?”

“Azumi.”

“Well Azumi-san, we assure you that you will never have to SEE or HEAR about the other residents being harmed because of our problems.” The Egyptian teen fluffs his hair with a knowing smirk at the double meaning.

The woman relaxed a bit at this as she looks over the information she has on her potential occupants. “Well I guess it wouldn’t kill me to give this a try…”

Too focused on the clipboard, she completely misses the dark smiles coming over the two men’s face.

“Okay then! So when are you planning to move in?” Azumi asks a bit cheery again as she gives a pair of keys to her client.

“When YOU check out…”

The brown-eyed lady gasps but before she could react, a purplish portal opens up behind her.

“May your damnable soul forever be tormented deep within the darkness of the Shadow Realm, bitch.” Malik turned Marik snarls out, his Sennen Eye as well his violet orbs glow brightly.

The doomed woman screams hysterically as sharp clawed hands latches onto her, ripping at her clothes and flesh.

Both men chuckles at the woman while she is literally being torn to shreds. One huge hand in particular sudden reaches out and grabs the woman’s head, two of the fingers digs deep within eye sockets as the collaboration of hands finally drags the carcass deep into the purplish depths.

The thin wooden board clatters loudly onto the now red-tinted floor.

Odji replies nonchalantly. “Gee, they sure are messy”

“Hmph, Indeed.” Marik turns to his right hand. “Now listen up, while I’m back in my soul room, tell my hikari not to get himself noticed. Being part of him, I surely know how his psychotic mind works.”

“Yes, my liege.”

With that the Sennen Eye is gone, and the shadow aura that the servant had felt before dissipated.

“Master Marik…”

“I know, I know. Like I give a shit what he says! He’s using MY body…and for some reason he tends to forget that.” Malik grumbles as he surveys their apartment.

“Still Master Marik has worked too hard for this plan and I owe it to him to see that it goes through. After all, he has savaged my soul from the Shadow Realm and I’m deeply in gratitude. Such a horrid place…” Odji twirls around the golden eye symbol around his neck that contains a blood red gem encrusted within the pupil. It’s the only connection that he has to the living.

“Yea, yea. Enough of the sentimental shit, Casper. If anything it’s you who should be careful. Let someone actually find out why you have a mirror phobia or why you have to stay well clothed in the sun despite it being near summer!

“Yes, having a fake body has its disadvantages but please try to honor Master’s wishes. He seems to be really in love with this…Kaiba Seto.”

“Pfft! Marik doesn’t fall in love.” Malik finally rests beside the huge window, he stares out of it and at Kaiba Corp. “He just wants the “Priest” to go along with that Millennium Rod like some kind of accessory. Perhaps having him around may give the wanna-be-pharaoh more edge with the Rod, who fucking knows. It’s all bullshit to me!”

Odji blinks at the rant. He never really did get the two souls that share the same body. They were so hard to figure out! “Yea well, if you see this to be so pointless, why are you helping out?”

“Because it’s just so fucking evil!” The dirty blond grins psychotically. “To mark Kaiba as he own, he degrades the arrogant fool in the worst way possible. No guy wants to be cursed with such feminine shit. I surely would take a bullet to the brain if I had found out that I’m now some weird He-woman!”

The demented Egyptian pauses to laugh aloud. “So fucking brilliant! HA!”

The red-eyed man sighs. Why say anything more? He’ll just get confused.

***

On…Off…On…Off…On…Off…

Seto sits nuzzled between his nightstand and huge king size bed. He holds a sleek remote control that works like a portable switch to his room lights. The brunet simultaneously pushes the same button as the lights flickers on and off to his zombie-like rhythm.

Thoughts of fear, anger, resentment, failure, and confusion whirls around his advanced brain, and no matter how advance it is…he still can’t make any sense of his situation. All he knows is…he’s pregnant.

Being uke was alright, hell I enjoy being uke. I enjoy it a lot…but this…this bullshit here…is just too much! Now I have no masculine quality to me whatsoever, even my pride is gone. I’m just a freaky woman-like thing with a dick!

The lights flick on.

I had tried so hard to be above everything! So how come all of a sudden I’m falling right back where I’ve started! People will shun me now! Just like they had when Mokuba and I had barely anything but the clothes on our gah-damn backs! Who the hell will accept a freak bastard like me now! They barely can accept the fact that I’m gay! This is some fucking bullshit!!!

The lights flick off.

And the company…as if those bastards haven’t tried to take it from me already…well they sure as hell will try now! Who would respect a man walking around wearing maternity business suits! I will be nothing but a fucking joke! I’ll probably be back out on the streets before I know it! Why is this fucking happening to me?! Why?! When will this suffering finally end?!

The lights flick on.

And oh my god…school. I’ll be just another teenage statistic! I use to so much scoff at those pregnant bitches at school because they had no idea what they’ve done to themselves. Hell I would LAUGH at them. I’m not even going to fucking lie. But now…

A pale hand tightens its grip around the gadget in its palm.

But now…I’M going to be that pregnant bitch walking around school for everyone to scoff at but it’s going to be ten times worse…DAMMIT! And Jou?! What would he think?! No one can fall for a freak?! I can’t let this happen, it will ruin me! It will! I CAN’T LET THIS HAPPEN!

Such a fucking woman…

A silver streak strikes the huge dresser mirror just ahead causing it to shatter.

***

Jou, who was standing vigilantly from outside the door, perks his head up at the alarming sound. He turns to look at Mokuba who has been standing beside him, grey eyes full with tears. Seto had asked them to give him some time alone...but now they both realizes...that may have been a mistake.

Suddenly another crash, then another…each more violent than the last…

The little Kaiba breaks into a fit of sobs not knowing what to make of the disturbance.

The blond, calmer but just as scared, begins to pound on the door with urgency.

“SETO! SETOOOOO! WHAT ARE YA DOING?! SETOOOO!” Jou in vain begins to tug at the doorknob.

Another crash, probably the loudest, vibrates the area around them.

Mokuba screams hysterically as he sinks down to the floor. What if his nii-san is in there hurting himself…or worse?

“Move, kid. I’m busting this door down…” The blond murmurs as he stands back into a fighting stance, ready to do a front kick.

A sneaker shoe slams into the door causing it to budge but not open.

Jou sucks in so more air into his lungs as he does a half turn, and did a back kick which sends the door flying.

Seto with a series of cuts over his face, hands, arm and feet, looks up wide eyed. A true deer caught in headlights.

“Holy…” the blond looks around at what use to be a room. It was like walking into a portal and it had transported him into a landfill.

“Nii-san…” Mokuba whimpers.

“Stay away…” the brunet growls, chest heaving.

Jou carefully walks forward, holding his hands out. “Angel, please. Come here…Dis has got ta stop…whatevah it is, you can tell me. I mean you’re scaring your brother ovah here…”

“NO, I SAID STAY AWAY!” the brunet screeches as he makes a mad dash into the bathroom and locks it.

The blond seme sighs as he turns to Mokuba. “Go to ya room. I will handle dis. Everythin’ will be alright, I promise.”

Mokuba nods as he wipes away his tears but before he turns to leave… “I’ll go but you have to promise me that whatever he tells you, you’ll still be with him…can you promise that?”

Jou looks dumbfounded at the smaller Kaiba. What in the hell do they be putting in rich people food?!

“Mokie, do ya…know somethin’ bout dis?”

“Just promise me!” Tears threaten to spill again from the chibi eyes.

“Okay! Don’t ya go weirdin’ out on me too!”

“Take care of him.” With that, the smaller boy takes off, leaving an even more confused blond behind.

He getting some fucking answers, and he’s getting them now.

He promptly walks through the carnage as he arrives at the bathroom door.

Unlike last time, he knocks lightly.

“Angel…”

“Fuck off!”

Jou chuckles a bit as he leans his head against the frame.

“Angel, don’t you think dis is a little extreme? The doctor says ya not dyin’ so how bad could it be fer ya ta total ya room?”

“You wouldn’t understand!”

“How can I when ya not even givin’ me a chance ta?”

No answer.

The blond sighs as he closes his eyes. “I’m scared for ya, Set. I just want ta help you…”

“Oh you’ve helped enough thanks!”

This causes the hazel-eyed teen to wrench himself from the door.

“What are you sayin? Dat dis is mah fault?! Did I give ya somethin’?! I can swear on mah life dat I’m safe!”

“Well apparently your gah-damn sperm is ten times harmful than a STD!”

“Huh?!”

Suddenly the door swings open, revealing a disheveled, somewhat injured brunet.

“I’m pregnant…I’m fucking pregnant.”

Jou stands bewildered for what seems like the hundredth time that day.

“What?”

This in turns anger the CEO even more.

“I’M SHITTING A BABY OUT OF MY GAH-DAMN ASSHOLE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!”

Before Jou could hold it back, he begins to laugh…outright.

“OH SO YOU THINK IT’S FUNNY!?”

“No, no! I just, I mean…are you pregnant really?”

Seto stares into the golden eyes of his lover, eyes that were showing…excitement?!

“You’re…you’re…happy about this…”

“Seto, I mean really, can we NOT be da luckiest gay couple evah! I mean yea sure, maybe it’s too early in da game ta be havin’ kids and yea its some unusual shit but hell, we should be thankful! We can be togethah AND have children! How awesome is dat?”

The brunet shakes his head slowly as he sinks down onto his bed. He should be thankful…for a lot of reasons. His lover not only still accepts him but he WANTS this thing! So why does he feel so depressed and alone? Oh yea…because it’s HIS life that’s going to be ruined.

Such a fucking woman…

“OH man I can see it now! If I have a son, I’m gonna teach him ta kick some serious ass jus like his daddy! And if I have a daughtah…yea I’m gonna have ta brush up on mah martial arts because if any bastard thinks…”

“Katsu…”

Those gah-damn emotions…acting so fragile…

“Ya know, I’m not even gonna think bout dat! Otogi and Honda, I’m sooo gonna fucking rub their faces in dis shit…ya know I actually had somethin’ right for once and dey laughed at me!? LAUGHED! Awww but screw them! I’M GOING TA BE A FUCKING DADDY!!!!”

You even MOAN like a woman…

“NO YOU’RE NOT!”

Jou whirls around in shock and faces his wild blue eyes. “What do ya mean?”

“I can’t do this! It’s-it’s unnatural!!! I rather die! NO! NO! NO! There’s not going to be a son, a daughter and no one’s being daddy!”

Hazel eyes narrows into slit. His angel wouldn’t dare say…

“I want this evil thing out of me right now!!! I’m getting an abortion and there’s nothing, NOTHING you can do…or say….to stop me!”

Such a fucking woman…

To be continued…

Next Chapter: Jou desperately tries to stop Seto from going through with the abortion.
