Don’t own Yugioh and am not making any money or profit off this. I’m just using them for my own twisted fun.


Chapter 9

It was now the middle of November. Ryou was now 8 months pregnant and very depressed. The baby was still healthy and kicking like crazy. Sometime so hard it was hurting Ryou.
Ryou was looking out the bus window as Akifa and the band were joking and playing around. To Ryou this was all background noise, something that he didn’t pay any attention to.
Ryou rubbed his swollen belly as the baby kicked as his mind wondered back to that day about a month ago.
Joey had try to keep Kaiba out but he wouldn’t listen .He said he had to talk to Ryou.

~flashback~
Ryou slowly open his eyes as he could hear a lot of fight and lot of yelling.
Blinking, Ryou sat up and was a bit confused as to why he was in his brother’s bedroom. When hearing Kaiba’s voice it all came rushing back to him.
Ryou sat there for a moment before he got up and walked into the living room. When he did they stopped and watched him. “Ryou.” Kaiba said first.
Ryou shook his head but kept it bowed, bangs shadowing his eyes so that no one could see the hurt that was in them. “No Seto.” He said softly. “You can’t say what I saw a misunderstanding, like when you called me a bitch.”
If Ryou had watched Kaiba he would have seen the winch at that statement. Akifa did but Ryou had not.
“You can’t expect me to just forgive and forget, not this Seto, not ever.” Ryou said as he slowly lifted his head.
One of Ryou’s hands was on his belly as he slowly rubbed it. The baby was very attentive because of how upset the mother was.
They could see that Ryou was also fighting back tears. He was trying not to cry in font of Kaiba. He didn’t want to seem weak.
“You got it wrong Ryou. I wasn’t trying to sleep with her, she was trying with me.” Kaiba said as he took a step towards Ryou.
Akifa reached out and stopped him. Giving a soft growl was the only warning he got.
Ryou’s eyes narrowed at this. “You expect me to believe that?! You were topless and your hands were moving up her topless body as her hands were moving south! Let’s not forgive the kiss I walked in on as well! It was pretty damn hot!” Ryou roared as he looked ready to punch Kaiba for this.
“How long Seto?! How long has this being going on?! Is this why you weren’t coming home?! Because you were sleeping with that…that…that slut?!” Ryou asked as he walked closer to Kaiba.
“I want the truth Seto, no more lies!” He said as he was breathing hard by this time.
“Nothing was going on kitten, no…” Kaiba was stopped as he felt as smack on his check. They were all stun to see Ryou do this. None more surprised then Kaiba as his held his check.
“DON’T CALL ME THAT! I’M NOT YOUR KITTEN ANYMORE!” Ryou yelled as he finally let the tears fall before he looked away. “Just go away S…Kaiba.” Ryou said going back to calling Seto, Kaiba.
That hurt Kaiba more then the slap had. His eyes narrowed at this as he dropped his hand. “Fine, Bakura. But know this. I will demand that I get full custody of our child.” He said with a growl.
Akifa growled right back at him. “The fuck you will Kaiba! That child belongs to Ryou and Ryou alone. Besides you won’t be home long enough to take care of it were as Ryou will be. Try and I’ll see your ass in court Kaiba.”
“Then court we shall go.” Kaiba said before turning and walking out as his trench coat bellowed behind him.
~end flashback~
It was shortly after that Akifa told Ryou that he would be going on the tour with the band. Granted that was after Ryou calm down and they made sure he hadn’t gone into labor because of the stress.

“You ok?” Ryou blinked as he was brought back from the past to see one of the backup singers sitting in front of him with a worried look in her eyes.
The backup singers name was Michelle Brown. She was 5’9” with long wavy brown hair.
She was fair skin with deep green eyes. Over all she was pretty but not Ryou’s type.
“What…oh ya fine.” Ryou said as he looked back out the window.
“Look, Kaiba is a jerk. I mean if he couldn’t see what a great guy you are then you are better off without him. Besides you know your brother will fight for you to keep the baby. Kaiba doesn’t always get what he wants. Look at his dueling history. He never won against your friend and he always wanted to.” Michelle said with a grin.
Ryou turned and looked at her with a grin. “True. Growing up that what Seto did, try to beat Yugi. He always came in second place. Even in his own tournament.” Ryou said as the two chuckled over that.
Joey came over and sat next to Ryou as he blinked. “What are we laughing over?” He asked.
“Talking about how Kaiba couldn’t win again your small friend.” Michelle said as Ryou nodded.
“Yep. About how even in his own tournament Yugi beat Seto and he got Second place.” Ryou said.
Joey just growled some. “Damn bastard always made me look bad. Did you know that I wasn’t even ranked high enough to get in to that tournament at first? I came in second place at Duelist Kingdom and he had the nerve to leave me out! Me, Joey Wheeler!” Joey said as he puffed his chest out.
“You only got in because of the Red Eyes, pup. If it wasn’t for the fact that Malik went after rare cards you wouldn’t have gotten in.” Akifa said from his spot on the bus.
Joey seems to deflate at this. “Ya I know…I know.” He said with a pout.
“But you showed them up. You made it to the finales.” Ryou said as he tries to hold his laughter in. “And when Seto had his next one, you were invited to duel in it.”
“Ya, won against an old man then lost to a guy who doesn’t know that pink isn’t for guys.” Akifa said as Ryou glared.
“You know how to make a guy feel good about himself, don’t you thief king?” Joey said with a mock glare.
“You know I do. Every night.” Akifa said as Joey blushed and the rest of the band groaned at this.
Ryou by now was feeling better as he laughed at what was going on around him before looking back out the window.


While Ryou was traveling the States, Kaiba was trying to find away to win his family back.
Kaiba did mean it when he said he wanted full custody of their child but he wanted Ryou back as well. He knew that it would hurt Ryou not to have the child because it would hurt him to not have said child.
Kaiba lean back in his chair in his office at work as he thought of Ryou. He hoped he was ok. Hoped the baby was ok. Wondered if the baby was born yet. He knew that he had one more month to go before the baby was due but that didn’t really mean anything. Babies were born when they were ready.
‘Then again with that fight Ryou may never tell me.’ Kaiba thought as he grabbed his cell phone and called the only person that may give him answered he needed.

Marik was in the middle of ‘punishing’ Malik when his cell phone went off. When he picked it up he gave a small growl. “Don’t move.” He told his love before answering it. “What?” Marik said in the form of a greeting.
“Where is Akifa?” Kaiba asked.
“States.”
“Where in the States?”
“What am I Akifa’s keeper?”
“You know everything about him and will know where he is at the moment.”
“If you want to find your lost boyfriend then look it up on the website.” Marik said before hanging up with Kaiba. He then looked over at Malik with a grin on his face. “You moved.”


Kaiba let out a growl as he closed his own phone and got back on his computer. It didn’t take him long to pull up the bands website and look at all the place they were going or have been. It would seem they were rather big and all their concerts were sold-out. Kaiba didn’t care. He would get in backstage when the band played in New York.
Kaiba just sighed as he looked at he band photos to see Ryou was added to some of them but his big belly was hidden. All the site said was that Ryou was Akifa’s younger brother but that was it. Nothing about who he was with or him being pregnant. Kaiba just shook his head at this. One way or another he would get what he wanted back.

It was now close to the end of the month. The band had only one more concert left before heading home, Japan.
Ryou couldn’t wait to get back home. To see his friends and rest from this month of concerts. The only thing or person, he didn’t want to see what Seto Kaiba.
Ryou was scared of what Kaiba might do. He knew that once Kaiba made a threat he went through with them. Ryou really didn’t want to lose his child. He just couldn’t lose it. Not after losing the others. It would kill him.
As Ryou watched his brother’s band practice he wonders about his ex lover. No Ryou still loved Kaiba but after their fight he knew they were no longer together.
Ryou wonder if he found anyone new yet. He was sure he could and more then likely did. Kaiba was to good looking not to find himself someone.
As he thought about this he rubbed his belly and wondered if he would ever be able to do that. He wondered if he would ever be able to move on and find someone.
Ryou knew that no one would measure up to Seto Kaiba but he just hoped he could find someone that was second best.
Ryou then looked down to his belly as he smiled. He and Kaiba had wanted to be surprised at birth to what the sex of their child was so Ryou didn’t know.
“Wonder if your are a boy or a girl. If you’re a boy then Jaden. Jaden Yusei. Not sure if you are a girl.” Ryou said with a soft smile.
Joey watched Ryou and saw the smile as he walked over to him after putting his guitar down. “Hay, what’s up?” He asked as he stood in front of his long time friend.
“Just thinking of names. I know what I want to call it if it’s a he. Jaden Yusei but not sure if it’s a girl.” Ryou said smiling up at his friend.
Joey looked at the belly for a bit before he smiled. “Why not Miracle or Hope. Oh I know Heaven. Then again seeing how the baby will be born in December why not Noel.” Joey said grinning from ear to ear.
“Miracle. Miracle Heaven. I like the name.” Ryou said with a nod. “Thanks Joey.” he said.


It was later that night, halfway through the concert. After this one the band would board a plane and head back to Japan.
Ryou smiled as he closed his eyes and just listen to his brother’s powerful voice. It could always carry him away.
Ryou started to sway in tone to the music when another voice could be heard. “Hello Ryou.”
Ryou spun around as his eyes went wide as he saw the man he thought he would never see again. “S…Seto?”
“I’ve missed you.” Kaiba said. “And we need to talk.
