My love for Pharaoh Yami

I woke up the next morning and sat straight up, I couldn't think of anything else besides that dream or vision I had, I then felt sick again, and ran towards the bathroom. While I was inside I said, "Okay...it's just a little morning sickness..." I then washed my face with ice cold water, and etc...I then came out from the bathroom and saw Yami still sleeping, I headed out, and closed the door behind me. I was starving, so I decided to go eat breakfast, and started heading towards the Grand Hall. You finally get there and sat down.

I ate a lot, and then Yami appeared at the arch of the Grand Hall, he looked at me and smiled, he kissed my forehead and then said, "How are you today, Steph?" I replied, "I'm okay for now, I don't really know but all of a sudden, I just felt extremely hungry..."

(Okay I know that it sounds wierd, but remember this is Steph's first-child, she doesn't really know what to expect.) Yami smiled and sat down and ate, after we finished eating, he got up and I took his hand and he leads me to the balcony.

Finally we reached a balcony, it was the first one we've been on. Yami looks at me and says, "I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I want our child to be happy and normal as we grew up..." I laughed and said, "Normal??You have to be kidding, Yami..."

He looks at me and said, "Oh...your right...our lives weren't normal, at least for others..." I then said, "Yami, I have something to tell you...it concerns our child...um..." He looked at me and walks up closer and asked, "What?" I replied, "Well, lately I been getting these visions, and the last one I had was the one of you being injured...um..." I took a pause and continued, "I saw a glimpse of the future...I can't explain, but I know that our child is a boy...and that..."

He lifts my chin up with his hand and said, "It's okay...know we don't want to change the future too much now..." I nod and he then said, "Steph, I been thinking about naming our child, if it was a girl, I like the name her, Neferura, and if it's a boy, Yugi, what do you think Steph?"

My eyes widen, and I said, "It sounds great! Um...what was the name of the boy again Yami?" He smiled and said, "Yugi...why?" He then realizes it and said, "Oh...okay...I get it..." Then we just talk for awhile.

Then after a while, one of the maids came and said, "My Pharaoh, and Queen, guests have arrived." So we walked to the Grand Hall, I saw four people then one of them walked up to me and said, "Stephanie, I missed you so!"

She undid her veil and I saw it was my mother, I gasped and said, "Mother?" She gave me a hug, and said, "Atemu, you have grown..." she laughed, and then said, "Well, we heard the news, and decided to come here..." I said, "Oh...but your so far away from Cairo..."

She nodded and said, "Yes, but to see my daughter and my new son-in-law, is worth it." Then the rest walked up to me, then took of their head things (like you know hats, scarfs, whatever...) and I looked at the two the left were Yami's parents, his father was tall, dark, and handsom (figure, Yami turned out like him) his mother was very kind, and sweet, long black hair with violet eyes.

My parents, my mother had dark brown hair, and hazel eyes, while my father, had green eyes of jade color, with black hair. Anyways, Yami's mother came up to me and said, "Oh a grandchild isn't this exciting, I wonder..." I just stood there kinda shocked, then Yami's mother said, "Atemu, I'm so glad that you are wedded to someone you love...I am so sorry for trying to arrange a marriage for you."

Yami replied, "That's okay mother..." Then my parents seperated us, and so I was talking to my parents and Yami with his. It was very awkward, and trust me all parents are, anyways then I was being bombared by questions, and I felt dizzy, so I said, "Excuse, mother and father..."

I ran off, Yami noticed it and did the same thing, and went after me. He said, "Steph!" He finally caught up to me and said, "Are you okay?" I nod and said, "I kinda faked it, I mean...all those questions, made me..."

He laughed and said, "Thank goodness, you saved me too...my parents...were strange indeed..." I laughed and then said, "Well...I hope we don't turn out like them..." We both laugh, then we heard footsteps, and I peeked out from the corner of the hall and saw my parents, and started to laugh, then Yami grabbed my hand and said, "Remember the good times?" I nod, and said, "Yeah, always running away from our parents."

So we started heading off somewhere, and I heard their voices I recognized, that my mother was saying, "Oh dear...they did it again, remember when they were little?" Then Atemu's mother said, "Yes...but I wonder where they are off too?" Me and Yami started laughing and finally reached the stables.

Yami got on I did too, then we started riding, forgetting about all the danger that surrounds us. Finally we reached to the gazebo and Yami helped me off, he gave me a sweet kiss on the lips, I smiled and blushed then he brushed a strand of hair off my face and whispered, "Steph..." I said, "Yes..." As our noses touch, he whispered again, "I love you..."

I blushed and said, "I love you too..." Then Yami grabbed my hand and said, "Follow me..." I smiled, and followed him, I ended up in the gazebo, and I was about to say something, when Yami put a finger on my lip. He went to the middle of the floor, where my things were hidden, and he sat down, and brushed the dirt off the floor, I then sat down next to him and said, "What's that?"

I noticed hieroglyphs on the floor, Yami said, "Well, you remember this place was our hideaway, but I'm going to show you, another secret place." I looked and he then said, "Put your hand on the inscriptions..." I then placed my right hand on the hieroglyphs, and then placed Yami's hand on top of mine. He whispered some words, and then the gazebo started going underground.

I gasped a little and noticed that as I was going down, I felt something familar about it. Then the gazebo stop and Yami stepped out and whispered another word, then the fire were lit, I then got out, and the gazebo started going up again. I looked at Yami and said, "So...this place is...so amazing..."

He nods and said, "Yeah...it is...this place is our little hideaway...you must be wondering about the words I been saying?" I nod and Yami says, "Well...let's just say it our names, and magical prescene..." I then looked at the wall and saw more paintings and pictures of us. I then smiled and Yami said, "This isn't the best part Steph."

I took his hand, and he started to lead me through the hallway. I end up being in a huge room, that wall filled with so many things. I looked around and said, "Um...Yami how does this room exist, wouldn't the roof cave?" He replies, "No, it's wierd, I thought the same too, but for some reason, this place is built on a magic portal that keeps this place intact." I looked around and then stepped on something, I looked down and saw a little doll, I gasped because the doll had black hair, and purple eyes, and rosy lips.

I picked it up and said, "Wait, I know this doll..." Yami turned around to me and said, "Of course, I think I remember it too...I'm not sure, but you surely love that doll." I placed it down and Yami said, "This was the toy room, I remember playing here for hours and sometimes days, but the best part of this place is not that far, come..."

I followed Yami as I walked through all the toys, finally I reached a room and heard water running, I noticed, that a water fall was to my right. I said, "This definetly looks like the Secret Garden..." Yami nods and said, "Yes...but it's not...this was your favorite room...out of all the others..." I replied, "There are others?" He nods and then he said, "Yes...actually you did all of this..."

My eyes widen and then I spoke, "Really??" Yami laughed and said, "Over a period of time though...remember we were little..." I smiled and sat down near the edge of the pond, and dipped my feet in. Yami sat down next to me, smiled and said, "It's so relaxing..." I nod, and said, "Yes..." Yami then puts his hand around me and I lay my head on his shoulder. (awww)

I then noticed that something was under the water like a box, I lifted it with my mind, and then it was brought up to the surface. Then I placed it in my hand, I opened it, and Yami said, "I almost forgot...we had more that a couple of memory boxes laying around..."

I opened it and saw a mirror, a hair comb, and I carefully picked up the mirror and said, "Wow...it's so beautiful..." I noticed that it was oval shaped, and it had flowers around the border, and the handel was beautifully shaped as a waterfall. Yami then picked up the hair comb and moved my hair back gently and placed it in my hair.

I blushed and he said, "I think I gave that to you on your 4th birthday...you look really beautiful..." I blushed some more, and Yami moved towards me and gave me a romantic kiss. He then draws back, and I blushed and kissed him back. Then we just sat there, and the water started to glow, a bright white color, I saw a bubble, it was wierd, I thought, then it started to get bigger, me and Yami just sat there, he said, "It must be a spirit of some sort..." I whispered back, "How??"

Yami pointed at the water, "See those ripples in the water, it's gentle, and unison. By the look of it, it seems like an angel..." The light started getting brighter until a person appeared, I noticed that she was very pale, and cold. She stay on the water dressed in a very white tunic, and she said, "Stephanie and Atemu?"

I nodded and she slowly walked towards me, I noticed that she was sort of walking on water. She finally reached me and said, "It has been so long since I have seen you both here, you must not remember me..." I then said, "Um...no..." She smiled and I felt the warmth of her prescene. She said, "I'm Nadia, spirit of this pond..."

She bowed down, then she continued, "You both have grown so much...but...there is something different..." I look at Yami and he nods.

"There is nothing different about me," I said. Nadia, then looks at me and said, "Your aura, is so full of life, peace and balance...but...I sense that you are with child..." My eyes widen and I said, "Yes...how do you know??"

She laughed and said, "Oh...it's obvious, but what concerns me, is that you two haven't been here for ages..." Yami then said, "Of course, you must know much..."

Then Nadia had a strange look on her face, an expression of silence and fear, I looked at the water and noticed that is rippling, I gasped and Nadia said, "Atemu and Stephanie, it is no longer safe here, go back to the kingdom, there is a dark shadow creeping among us...please go...and it's good to see you two again..."

Yami then leads me back towards the entrance, we both step inside the gazebo and started to head up. When I got there, everything looks dead, I gasped and said, "What happened?? The trees are limp, and dark, like the life has been taken away from them..."

Yami then said, "Nadia is right...we must go Steph...something is strange about this..." we then both get on the horse, and ride off, I'm holding on tight to Yami, and as we are riding I noticed that the sky is getting dark, everything around me seems to be fading away.

Finally we get there, and Yami gets off the horse and helps me, I feel like the life is being sucked out of me, and I faint, luckily Yami caught me, he then carried me bridal style to my room and layed me down. He whispers, "What's happening..."

I slowly opened my eyes and see that Yami is sitting next to me. I softly said, "I feel so weak...but yet..." He puts a finger towards my lip and spoke softly, "It's okay, rest..." So I did, then one of the priests comes in and said, "My Pharaoh, it seems that the dark lord is spreading his dark powers across the plain...there is no stopping him..."

Yami gets up and kisses my forehead and said, "I'll be back..." He leaves the room for a couple of minutes, I then felt like something is lurking around, I opened my eyes again, and I noticed that a dark shadow is standing right over me. Then a clear force-field comes, I realized that I'm not doing it, and I feel a slight pain in my abdomen.

Then the voice said, "So it seems that, this child is more formidable than I precede, no worries I'll be back, Stephanie." Then the shadow left, and my shield went away, I thought and then Yami came in, and I looked at him and said, "There was a shadow thing here...but...it could not touch me...it said...this child is more formidable than I precede..." Yami raised an eyebrow and walked up to me and said, "I sure that it was Seto..."

My eyes widen, and the I said, "Oh...then..." I fell asleep, (I'm going to fast forward it a month, since nothing happened much, I'm about more than a month pregnant, and Yami has always been at my side. *cute*)

I opened my eyes, and noticed that it was morning, I felt sick, and went to the bathroom, then after a while I came out and said to myself, "I hate being sick every single morning..." I then noticed that Yami was still sleeping and in his hand he had a scroll, I dare not read it but I decided to read it anyway.

So I walked up to Yami and carefully pulled it out of his hand, and unwinded it. It was a plan of some sort, I looked at it carefully then it read "Yugi/Neferura's room..." I smiled and then Yami woke up I looked at him and gave him a big hug, and then a kiss, he blushed and said, "Um...I guess you saw the plan?"

I nod and then handed back the scroll, Yami had a kawaii smile on his face and said, "I been doing more thinking, and I just did this last night but, I made a room for our son or daughter..." (Aw...)

I smiled some more and said, "That is so sweet, Yami...but you know that our son is not due for a while..." He laughed and then said, "Right..." then he gave a pause and said, "You must be starving, how about we get something to eat?" I nodded.

We then get to the dinning room and I see lots of presents, I looked at Yami and he said, "I don't know who they're from, or what they are..." I looked and opened a letter that was on my seat, it read, "Dear Atemu and Stephanie, I know you must be wondering what these gifts are for, but well preparation is a must! Just to let you know these are for the baby. Love, your parents."

I looked at Yami and said, "Uh...like I'm only a month pregnant, and their already making a big deal out of it..." Yami smiled and said, "Of course it's a big deal, it's our first child, their first grand-child, and a heir to the long line of great Pharaohs." (I mean by that, is that sure there were other pharaohs and this is a continuance of my line, by that it's me and Yami.)

I blinked and smiled and said, "Okay...I think your being a bit dramatic." Yami smiled and we both sat down and ate, Yami then said, "There are so many gifts here..." I nod, and then he says, "Have I ever told you that I love you?" I blushed and said, "Yes you have and every single day since we met, I love you too..."

Yami smiled, and then said, "I want to show you something..." Yami reached out his hand and I take it, then followed him, I ended up going towards my room, and noticed that there was another door not far from it, he opened the door, and I saw a huge room, I knew it had to be the nursery.

I smiled and gave Yami a kiss, and said, "It's beautiful...oh look..." I was basically wowed in amazement, then I noticed a book laying on a table I opened it, and knew that it was for my child.

I smiled some more and Yami then said, "It's not finished yet, there's still more improvement..." I looked at him and said, "I think it's so perfect..." We then talked for hours, and then later on it was lunch, and I ate and etc. Later on it started getting late. I was so tired and it was 7:12, and I laided on my bed and went to sleep.

I started to dream, and that dream turned into a nightmare, I found myself holding my child, when all of a sudden swarms of evil surrounded me, and tried to take away my baby. I kept destroying them but there were too many, and one evil leader took it away from, me then said, "You lost Stephanie, there ours now..." I started to cry and said, "No!!!" That's when I woke up, touching my abdomen, I sighed.

My breathing starts to regulate, when all of a sudden I saw something move, I said something and the fire in your room lighted up. Yami woke up and mumbled, "What is it?" I looked at him and said, "I saw something move..." Then a cold and clammy hand was placed over my mouth, and Yami jumped out and grabbed his dagger, and pierce the thing behind me, but it went right through it.

I tried to free myself while staying calm, then Yami banished it to the Shadow Realm, he then ran up to me and held me in an embrace, that I whispered, "There's more..." As more came, I looked around and noticed that I was surrounded, I held on tighter to Yami and he whispered to me, "I think their after you..." I looked around some more and then all of a sudden a bright light surrounded me and spread out in a powerful blast. They were gone for a sec, but more multiple, then they started to talk, and I said, "Yami, I think there trying to say something, I sure it's clicks or something..."

Then a tall dark leader came forward, I looked at him, and he gave me chills. He said, "Bring the girl to me!" The swarms of shadows started to approach me when Yami said, "Stop!" They did and it was wierd, then he turned around still holding on to me saying, "What do you want?!" The leader said, "The girl...my master told me to bring her to him..." Yami looked around and said, "Who is you master?"

the leader laughed and said, "The new dark lord...that shall not be named..." I whispered to Yami, "It's Seto..." Yami nodded and then one of the minions tried to touch me, but got incinerated. I looked and said, "That's wierd, hm..."

I decided to touch one of them, and they started to incinerate without regenerating. Then the leader said, "If you don't come quietly your loved one will be hurt. Since you cannot be touched." Yami then said, "No she won't!" I then noticed that the ones that I touched were a lot smaller, than the others, then I realize that when one of them touched me they had a substance on their hand.

I gasped, and then the shadows started to creep under my feet and it grabbed Yami pulling him towards the ground, until his feet were no longer visible. I looked and tried to pull him out and the leader said, "It's no use, now come before he goes deeper in the pool."

I gave him a disgusted look and said, "Why should I trust you?" He gave an evil laugh and said, "Because you have no other choice." I looked at Yami then around, I knew he was right, and I sighed and said, "I have to Yami..."

I gave him a kiss and stood up then I said, "If I go, then free him, and don't harm him..." The leader freed Yami just as he said, and Yami was now right in front of me. I smiled and gave him a hug, then I felt like I was being pulled away from him, and soon I was at the leader's side. He said, "Come...I made my deal..."

With a wave of his hand a portal appeared and all the other shadow things were gone, Yami gave me the look of, I will get you back. I started crying as I went through.

After a while I found myself in a dark and cold place, it seemed like nothing existed, then a voice I recognized said, "That took longer than I expected, my Shadow Minions should have done better, but your here, and that's good." I knew it was Seto, and his face was revealed by the light, he has changed, so much.

Then I replied, "What is it that you want?" He smirks and said, "What else would I want, your the bait, and maybe I'll consider you at my side." I started to feel sick, and this time it wasn't because of my being pregnant. He then said, "Take her to her room, guards."

So I was now heading to my prison room, and I saw that it looked exactly like my old room (the one before I had to share with Yami.) I looked around and then the guards closes my door and I said, "This looks like...I wonder..."

I then started to move a desk with my mind, and I got furious and said, "Darn...the escape doors aren't here...it's not an exact replica." I sat on my bed, placing my hand on my abdomen, and started to cry, because I missed Yami, and everything good about the world.

Then I noticed that the tears started to form into one big puddle, and I saw a glimpse of Yami. I got up and went over to it, I started to say, "Yami?" In the picture he said, "Steph? Is that you? I must be hallucinating..." I then realized that he could hear me and I started to say, "I'm held prisoner, there's no escape, I don't know where I am..."

He looks around and said, "Steph, I hear you, but can you tell me what's going on?" I explained to him what happened with the tears, then the door started to open and I grabbed a towel and quickly wiped my tears, and just sat there looking sad, inside I knew I had a plan fixed up.

The door opened and guess who walked in......Seto of course he looks at me and said, "My my, why are you crying on the floor?" I didn't reply to him, he gives a smirk and said, "I expect to see you at breakfast there is a change of clothes in the bathroom..."

Then he left, and I just sat there, kinda crying, and got up, I headed towards the bathroom and it looked exactly like my old one, I took a bath and slipped into the fresh clothes that were laying on a table. I looked at it, and saw that it was slits in the sleeve, and the material was sheer, and there were cuffs around my wrist, and it was scoop neckline, and a band right aroound my waist, and it was a long flowy tunic.

I then cried some more, and another pool of tears formed, I saw Yami and said, "Yami?" He looks around and said, "Yes, Steph, I'm here..." I reached out my hand to touch his face, when the coolness of the liquid touched my fingers. Yami replied, "I can feel your touch..."

He places a hand where I touched him, I smiled a bit and said, "I'm a prison, and it's exactly like my room...the old one..." Yami smiled and said, "I been trying to trace you down, and all I found out was that your in a dimension between the real world and the shadow realm..."

I gasped then I heard footsteps in my room, I said goodbye to Yami and then placed a towel over my pool of tears, lifted and saw it was gone. Someone knocked on the door of the bathroom, and I breath in calmy and opened it, I saw a girl about my age or younger saying, "Queen Stephanie...he is waiting..."

I then said, "What's your name?" she bowed down and said "Luna..." I then said, "Like the moon? That's a pretty name..." She said softly, "Thank you..." Then she leads me throught the hallway, and I looked around and saw lots of those shadow creatures like the ones back home.

I finally reached my destination, and was seated down, I then noticed that something was on my feet, and I looked down and saw cobras wraping around hissing at me, I looked up and Seto was laughing, "It's so you don't escape now..."

I looked at him and tried to calm down so they don't bite me. As every second passed I felt the constrict getting tighter. I ate my food, I was starving and just sat there, I started thinking, and then I started to cry.

Seto then said, "Will you stop crying! It's driving me mad here, every single minute, you pour tears out like a waterfall!" That only made things wore, I put you head down on the table and started to cry some more, for some reason when a tear dropped down on one of the snakes it fled.

Seto then placed a hand on his face and said, "Okay...what's wrong?" I looked at him and said, "Isn't it kinda obvious, you kept me prisoner, and you ask me what's wrong?" He looks shocked at me, and you stands up and walks away.

But the doorway was blocked, but I just knocked the guards out, I knew that I couldn't escape, since there is no way out, so I just went back to my look-a-like room. I closed the door and leaned against it crying some more, then I wiped my tears and said, "I'll find a way..."

I then got up and noticed the dresser, and I moved it with my mind to block the door, then I sat down on my bed and touched my abdomen, and sighed, I thought, "Okay...this is wierd...I must find a way out of here, Yami said, it's a dimension between the real world and shadow...what if!"

I jumped and then said out loud, "Combine them!" I quickly shut my mouth and then said in my mind, "Magically...yes..." Then I looked around and said, "Um...I have the real world magic, but what about shadow realm?"

I thought for a second and said, "The Millenium Rod, of course...now I need a spell..." I thought long and hard about this, noticing that this would be difficult, then I thought of a spell a really good one.

Then I heard knocking on the door and it tried to open, when I just slammed it with my mind. Then I heard Seto's voice saying, "You think this is fun and games, Stephanie...well your wrong..."

Then a huge explosion occured, I blinked and figured he used his Rod to blast through the door. I sighed as he came through angryily. I rolled your eyes and said, "What do you want now?"

He smirked and said, "I dislike the way your acting, it's so unlike you..." I looked at him and said, "What do you mean so unlike me? You don't even know me!" He gave a smirk and approached me, I decided to Put up a shield, but then all of a sudden, I didn't and something else did, he looked at me and said, "Hm...I almost forgot you were having an heir for Atemu..."

I shudder at the way Seto said it, then he continued, "You'll never find a way out, because you need this..." He waved his Millenium Rod, I turned my head and he then said, "Now, I hold the advantage...maybe I'll keep you long enough until you have to do what I say." I looked at him evilly and said, "I'll never be yours..."

Seto gave a smirk and said, "Oh, we'll see about that..." He then leaves my room, and I just sat there, I cried some more until I saw Yami and then I said, "I found out a way out of here, but I need shadow magic..." Yami then said, "Good, well since this thing, maybe I can lend you my magic, I mean you already have the other half." I smiled and said, "Thanks Yami...hm...do you think we can do this now?" He nods and I smiled.

I started to say some words from my spell, and a little portal started to appear, "Shadow and Light combine..." Then I heard a really loud knock on my door, I moved another heavy object to block the door, and continued, "these two differenty reality, into one..." I heard a blast and said, "Okay Yami...I'm halfway there..."

The desk was blowned away and then I said, "I think I been caught Yami, I'll see you later, he must not find out..." He nods and I placed a towel over the pool of tears, and Seto came in furious, he said, "Trying to escape are we?"

He pointed his Millennium rod at the small portal and that made it go away, then he said, "Your becoming a handful, Stephanie..." He points the Millennium Rod at me and I am lifted from the ground, then he walks towards me and circles around me as he said, "Tsk...tsk...you should have known better...I can sense when there is a powerful magical disturbance presence here in my domain."

I looked at him and said, "Yeah and what are you going to do about it?" He puts me down and said, "Bind your powers of course, only temporary if course." I looked at him and said, "Bind my powers...you can't possibly do that."

He grins and said, "Oh but I can..." He grips me firmly around the waist I tried to resist and push him away but he ended it with a kiss on my lips. I pushed him back and tried to slam him into the wall, when I couldn't I freaked out, I tried it again but I couldn't, "How dare you!" I said angrily.

He gives a smirk and said, "Now you can't escape...even though your magic and etc...have been immobilize from doing any damage here..." I then said, "Well if you were going to bind my powers, did you have to kiss me, you imbecile!"

He then said cooly, "If I was a foolish person, then I would have let you keep your powers, am I not right? Beside can you find a quicker way to draw someone's power?" I crossed my arms and said, "What do you mean by draw?"

He gives a grin and said, "For the time begin...now...if you don't harm yourself, you may actually make it out in one piece, now that your powers are gone..." He left the room and once again I tried to move the tiniest thing, which was a pebble. I couldn't and now I felt frustrated.

I then started to cry a bite and the pool did not form, I whispered, "No..." Then I just sat there holding my stomach saying, "This can't be happening..." I then laid on my bed and cried some more, I though, "My powers are gone, I can't go home, I miss Yami, and I'm trapped in this place..."

Hours pass and then Luna came in again, she bowed and said, "Lunch is served my Queen..." I said, "I'm not hungry..." She walked over to me and begins to stroke my hair saying, "My lady, you must eat, under your conditions..." I looked at her and sat up and said, "No, really I'm not hungry..."

She sighed and said, "Okay...I'll go tell him..." She got up and then left the room, and walked towards the grand hall, she arrived and said, "Queen Stephanie, will not be joining you at this hour, sir..." Seto then said, "Why not?!" Luna kinda jumped back a bit and said, "She's not hungry...sir..."

He places his hand on his cheek and leaned on the table and said, "Well, fine, do as you please, your dismissed." She bows, and takes a plate of my food, and brings it back to me, she knocks on my door, and I just sat there, she placed the food near my nightstand and said, "If your hungry your food is right here, my lady..." I looked at her and said, "Luna, how come you serve for Seto?"

She sat down on the edge of my bed and said, "It's because, I'm held here against my will, like you...but only I am a mere simpleton, you are someone of great importance to him and the world..." I looked at her and said, "Why am I such a great importance to him?"

She sighes and said, "It's simple, he wants something he can't have...and he will go to his limits to get whatever he desires..." I looked at her and then said softly, "How do you know so much?" She replied, "I just do..." She gets up and said, "I'll be back my lady..."

Then she left the door, I looked at my plate of food, and said, "She seems really nice..." then I picked my plate up and ate a grape. Later on I finished eating, and just laid there.

Then after a while I begin to hear chants, I got up and opened my door, I then noticed that the shadow guards were standing there, and I said, "Do you know what's happening?" He gives me a look and said, "There's a shadow duel taking place, I suggest you go back inside..."

I looked at them and said, "I want to see it!" They nod and said, "Follow me..." I found them to be rather nice, and I thought, "It must be because I don't have my powers..." I ended up in front of a double door, and he nods for me to go inside, I opened the door, and I felt a chill, as I saw what was happening clearly.

There were these stone tablets, with monsters on them I said, "I think I seen this before..." I recognized who was dueling, Seto of course and a visitor, I heard the chants, and I just kinda stood there in shock. Seto then realized I was there and said, "Look now, we have a royal guest to watch us..."

I was a little shocked when some robed people took me and placed me in a throne chair, near Seto, they said, "You will enjoy this..." I looked at them then the tablets, Seto's was a dragon, and I caught a glimpse of the other, and his was a knight of some sort.

Seto started talking and I tuned it out, and then the stones flipped around and monsters came out of them, I gasped at the enormity of the beast, it was like nothing I have ever seen before. I then heard Seto saying, "Blue Eyes, attack!"

The other beast was destroyed, and the tablet was crumbled, I looked at the dragon and felt it's awesome power, I looked around and saw carvings on the walls, I looked and saw something familar, like a duel between two people, (No it's not that tablet that predictes the outcome of Seto and Yami's Duel.)

It was really wierd, then all the chanting stoped, I looked around and saw Seto he gave a smirk and said, "So I guess you saw the carving..." I nodded and he starts to walk closer to me, I kinda freaked out and said, "Don't come near me!" He grins and said, "I just wanted to show you something..."

He took my hand, and held it tight, I tried to break free from it and he placed his hand on the circle in the carving. The wall slid, and my eyes turned wider, then I started walking a bunch of stairs, the air was dank and had a wierd smell. I arrived at my destination and saw a bunch of carvings on the wall and a body laying on the center of the room, I looked and said, "What did you do??"

I noticed that it was a girl, and I ran up to her, I brushed the hair off her face, and I gasped, "Nefertiri?" I looked at Seto angrily and said, "You better explain about this!"

He grins and said, "It's only a mere bait, beside her resucuer will come soon, like all will." I hear Nefertiri let out a noise, and she opened her eyes, she looked at me and said, "Uh...hello Stephanie...um...where am I?" I looked at her and said, "We're trapped in a dimension...with Seto..."

She got up and said, "Oh...well, how did I get here?" Seto then interrupted and said, "My minions kidnapped you..." Nefertiri then said, "Why?" He looked at her and said, "I need something..." Then he left, and the door slidded close, and it was just me and Nefertiri. I looked at her, and said, "It's good to see you, Nefertiri...but tell me, what happened, I know I got kidnapped, what about you?"

She breathed in and said, "Well the last thing I remember was screaming, out Bakura's name...that's strange..." She placed her hand on her neck, and she said, "My necklace is gone..." I looked at her and said,"How can you be so calm right now?"

She looked at me with those green eyes, and said, "I have a feeling that he will stop at nothing to come and get me..." I looked at her and said, "Yeah...I know what you mean, but I'm at a different situation..."

She raised an eyebrow and said, "What's wrong?" I said calmly, "Well let's just say, my powers have been stripped, and I am defenseless in protecting my child..." She said, "Oh...well..." Then light started to show through the sliding wall door, and I saw Luna again, I told Nefertiri that it was okay and she followed right behind me.

After a while Luna stopped in the middle of the hall and said, "This is not good, my queen..." I looked at her and said, "What's not good?" Nefertiri then said, "Please continue..." Luna did and said, "They're coming..."

She looks around and noticed that the shadows started to act funny, I did too, and she then said in a haste, "Follow me..." I did, and after a while I reached a room, she closed it and said, "We're safe for now..."

Nefertiri shook her head and said, "What do you mean they're coming?" Luna then replied, "The shadows, they sense that someone is trying to penetrate this dimension, thus, almost devouring everything..."

Then suddenly a portal appeared in the room I am currently in, and out came two people, I noticed that it was Yami and Bakura. Nefertiri ran up and said, "I knew you'd save me!" She then gave him a quick kiss and said, "Let's get out of here." Yami ran up to me and said, "Are you okay??"

I nodded and then said, "He took away my powers though, it's temporary..." He smiles and embraces me then said, "Like Nefertiri said, we must get out of here..." We started to walk towards the portal, Bakura and Nefertiri walking in first, then I said, "Thank you Luna..."

She nods, and the door started to make a thud, then me and Yami walked through the portal, I felt kinda odd, and bad for leaving Luna. Then in a couple of seconds I reached the palace library. I saw Bakura nd Nefertiri there, and Bakura said, "Atemu, don't think that we'll ever join forces again. I just came here to rescue, my love."

Then they both disappeared, I looked at Yami and gave him a kiss and said, "I knew you'd come rescue me...I'm so glad to be back home..." He smiled and said, "Yes, but I had no other choice than to team up with Bakura, since I tried to contact you again, I figured he had disabled your magic..."

I smiled and said, "Yes..." He then said, "Um...Steph, I thought I was dreaming when I heard your voice, it was strange, for I think we were connected in a way..."

I looked at him and said, "Oh yes, I guess I forgot to tell you this, but...I think I got a new power, I can see whoever I desire...it's weird..."

Yami smiled again and gave me another hug and said, "I'm just glad your back, but I have been noticing that you have been kidnapped several times..." I heard a noise and looked in that direction and saw Nala, she purred at me then walked away, I smiled and then Yami said, "You look tired, Steph."

I yawned and bit and laughed and said, "I guess so, since I have been keeping watch of myself..." Me and Yami then walked to my room, and I was to tired to do anything else.

I fell asleep, I started to have a vivid dream, there were chants and everything, I noticed that I laid on the ground lifeless, as an aura was glowing from my body, then a voice said, "If I can't have you then nobody can..."

Then a bright light beamed from my lifeless body, and exploded to the ends of the world then the voice said again, "The only way to kill a beautiful girl is to drain all of her life force..." I suddenly woke up again and see a figure standing next to me, I looked closer and saw Yami sitting there. I sighed and said, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

He says, "It's because I don't want anything bad to happen to you..." I smiled and gave him and hug and said, "Oh...Yami..." He then said, "You should go back to sleep..." He laid me down and kissed my forehead, I watched him and then fell asleep.

When I woke up I noticed that Yami was still kinda sleeping, and he was holding my hand, I smiled and then quietly slipped out of bed, I breath in and said, "Okay...let's see..." I looked around the room, and tried to use my powers, I manage to lift a flower, I smiled and said, "Yes!"

I then covered my mouth and then carefully lifted Yami's body to the bed, and I whispered, "Okay..." Then I went to take a bath and changed into a white tunic that was very elegant and I came back. I noticed that Yami was still sleeping, and I walked up to him, I brushed a strand of hair off his face and just enjoyed seeing him sleep, I smiled.

(Okay guys, I going to fast forward it about 3 months, because nothing really happen, I mean some of the evil people tried to kidnapped me but they failed, and now I'm three months pregnant duh! So the baby is definately showing.)

I'm sitting on my throne reading a book, and I looked up and noticed that I felt a slight pain in my lower abdomen, I was mainly just sitting around, since Yami didn't want me to get hurt, so I'm a little bored, and I thought I should visit one of my favorite places, The Secret Garden, I walked and finally I reached the two paintings and whispered, "Setura Avarsa..."

I then walked through the portal, I was glad that the place hasn't died yet, for the last 3 months everything seemed lifeless and dead, I smiled as I sat down next to the pond, I basically enjoyed the moment. Then a hand was placed on my shoulder I reached for it and noticed it was Yami's I turned around and looked at him. He sat down next to me and said, "I see that you haven't been to this place in a while."

I smiled and said, "Well, I got kinda bored..." He looks down and said, "I'm sorry that your not able to explore around as you use to." I then said while looking at the waterfall, "It's okay Yami...I understand, the circumstance around us is not so friendly...it's just boring..."

He then said, "You look radiant..." I laughed and said, "Sure...Yami that's just morning sickness..." He smiled and said, "Oh..." He then gave me a sweet kiss and I blushed, then he said, "You know what..." I whispered, "What??" He gets up and gives me a hand and said, "I have something to show you..." I followed him and he said, "Close your eyes..."

So I did I finally reached the destination and he said, "Now you can open them..." I saw the nursery room again, except this time it was finished I looked at him and said, "Oh...it's beautiful..." He smiled and said, "Yeah the entire time, I was working on this piece by piece..." I smiled and leaned over to give him a kiss, (the baby...remember?)

He smiled and then said, "I'm glad you like it..." Then a gust of wind came from the window I looked at Yami and he went to look at it, I followed him, and looked outside, I noticed, that a storm was picking up. He closed the window and embraced me and said, "It's going to be okay..."

I then felt a pain in my lower abdomen and Yami noticed and helped me sit in a chair he asked, "Are you okay, Steph?" I then said, "Yeah, it's okay..." Then a priest comes and said, "My Pharaoh, we need you..." He kisses my forehead and said, "It's okay this is one of the safest rooms in the palace, since our child will need protection. He then left, and I just sat there.

I then touched the arm rest and had a vision, I was holding my child and as I looked out of that window, I saw Seto coming, Yami rushed in and said, "You have to go Steph...it's not safe..." I followed him. I then placed my hand on my head and said, "That's wierd..."

Yami comes back and said, "It just keeps getting worse..." I looked at him and said, "What do you mean?" He replies, "It's getting so bad here, that some of the town people are moving away..." I looked at him and said, "Moving??" He nods and said, "Yes...they plan on evacuating the city, in a month...they can sense that this place, our home, is no longer safe..."

I replied, "Oh..." I then heard someone call out my name, I got up and Yami said, "Steph are you okay??" I was in a trance and I just followed that voice, Yami stopped in front of me and said, "Stop...Steph...don't follow it..."

I couldn't hear him and then I felt that sharp pain in my lower abdomen, I then said, "What happen a moment ago I was in the nursery..." He smiled and embraced me again, I then said, "That voice was so familiar."

Yami then said, "I fear that it's Seto trying to get you again..." I then shook my head and said, "No, it's not him...it's someone else, it's more feminine..." Yami just raised an eyebrow and said, "Well..." I started to feel faint, and Yami started saying again, "Steph!"

I then blacked out, before I fainted the last thing I saw was Yami trying to wake me up carries me back to my room, he lays me down on the bed and sits there, he strokes my hair and said, "Steph."

-Stephanie-. I woke up and rubbed my eyes, I felt like my mind had been seperated again, I looked around and noticed that everything around me was black and dark. I then heard a voice, a familiar voice, I turnd to it, and saw a women, her faced was covered by the darkness, and then she came out, I gasped as I saw Phaia.

I then said, "Phaia, what are you doing here, I thought..." She cut into me, "Yes you thought that I was in the Shadow Realm right?" I just looked at her and she continued, "Wrong, I am now in place where it's all in between, and you know what the priced I pay to just be away from the Shadow Realm."

I then said, "Uh...no..." I noticed that she was still angry at me and everything, Phaia then said, "My Body..." I looked at her and then said, "Your body? But if you do get reincarnated you can't go back..." She looked at me and said "Yes, that is why I brought you here, so I can take over your body, when your mind is dead..." I gasped, and then touched my stomach again.

She then said, "I heard everything, your having Atemu's child, hm...when I get back, I'm making you lose it..." I then got up and said, "There is no way your winning my body..." She gives a smirk and then said, "Oh yes I am, in this place I make the rules...and beside how hard is it to win against someone who is pregnant?" I clenched my fist and felt furious.

-Atemu-. "Steph..." he saw my fist, he holds on to it, and said, "Fight it...".

-Stephanie-.Phaia laughed again and said, "Are you ready?" I then said, "Just because I'm having a child, doesn't mean I'm not stronger..." Then the place changed into a grand hall, I looked around and saw weapons on the wall.

I gasped, and then she picked up a sword, and said, "Ready..." I then picked up a sword with my mind and placed it in my hand and she said, "So...Stephanie, seems like your powers work here...too bad..."

She attacked me, she was very forceful, but I kept my cool, and barely moved, she then backs away and said, "So weapon fighting is going to do me good." She throws a dagger towards my direction and it misses me barely, but it left a cut on my right arm. She then said, "Bring it..." I sighed and looked at her, I already knew I was going to win, I then said, "It's over..."

The place then turns back to the beginning all black and dark, then she said, "How did you do that?" I just said sarcastically, "I just can..." Then I raised my hand, and it looked like I was squeezing something, Phaia's eye widen and said, "My heart..."

I finally had a closed fist and then she said, "You'll pay for this...Stephanie...it isn't the last you seen of me..." Then she went lifeless and these shadow things came to pick her and went down to the ground. I saw them disappear.

I shook my head then a beam of light surrounded me, I felt like my body and mind were beinging united again, and I said, "Okay..." I woke up again and then looked to my right arm, it was bleeding, I then said, "So...if I got hurt in that place then it shows up here..."

I gasp for a moment, thinking about what I did to Phaia, stopping her heart beat, then Yami looked at me and said, "Oh Steph...your back..." He gave me a passionate kiss and draws back, I smiled and said, "Yeah...I am..."

Yami then takes my hand and puts it in his, he then says, "What happen?" I sighed and said, "Let's just say that Phaia, was trying to come back to the real world, and she planned on taking my body, but I defeated her easily..." Yami smiled and said, "I'm glad...but she does have a lot of hate..."

I placed a finger over his mouth and then he said, "You have a cut..." He then treats it, and wraps it around with gauze, I smiled, and then I said, "I'm tired."

Yami smiled and then watched me fall asleep, then he went to the other side of the bed, and laid there watching me, he smiled and then said, "Everyday, I bless with this angel..." Then he fell asleep.

(Okay so I'm going to fast forward it 6 months, nothing happened much, and I'm very close to my due date, with the baby and all. My nine months in duh, and my power kept growing, more demons and etc...came after me, but I was too strong for them. Yami spent more time with me, but during a time period he had to go away for a week, but came back safe.)

I was sitting peacefully at my throne drawing something, then I felt a kick, I smiled and Yami said, "Is he kicking again?" I nodded, then I felt an even bigger kick, I said, "That's wierd..." I shrugged it off and then said to Yami, "I'm going for a walk..." He nods and then kisses me and said, "Be careful..." I then smiled and started walked, holding my stomach.

After a while I crouch again and I leaned on the wall, I looked down and noticed that water was coming from me. I gasped then one of the maids said, "Your water broke, your highness..." She then brought me to a special room, and I just laid there on the bed, she then motions the other maid to tell Yami. She told me to breath, the pain just kept getting worse, as I was having contractions.

Yami was waiting outside, and it was a long and tiresome process, after about 4 hours of labor, I finally gave birth, (I know but I'm not going into details, you know how it is.)

I just laid there all sweaty, as the maids laid a cool cloth on my hand, then they did there thing and cleaned the baby and checked it, and then they handed it to me, I smiled and one of the maids said, "It's a boy, congratulations, your highness, it's a healthy boy..."

I smiled and then one of them went to the door and got Yami, he came in, and smiled and walked towards me, he then said, "It's a boy..." I smiled and then he said, "May I hold him?" I nod and he took the baby from me and cradled him, he smiled and I said, "Now what name did you want for our son again?" He smiled and said, "Yugi." I just laid there resting for a bit, and Yami then said, "This is great, Steph."

After a while, I went back to my room, and Yami still holding him, then the baby reached for his finger, and Yami said, "Look, he's grabbing my finger..." I smiled and looked at him and thought it was so cute, then the baby started to cry.

Yami then had an anime sweatdrop and said, "Uh...what now? I didn't do anything." I looked puzzled too and then a nurse came in and said, "Your highness, Yugi, is hungry..." I looked at him and took him from Yami carefully, and said, "So...um..."

I just looked at my baby, then I breast fed him, I sighed and the nurse told me everything, Yami looked and said, "You mean every 2 hours, he's going to need something?" She nods, then she said, "If your to tired, I could help you, Queen Stephanie?" I nod and said, "Yes, that would be most delightful..."

She then said, "For now it's okay, your away, but I'll take night shift..." She then excuses herself, and the baby stops sucking, I closed my top, and then the baby started to cry again, I looked at Yami, and then placed the baby's head on my shoulder, and patted him gently on his back, then he burped, and Yami said, "I guess, this was more responsibilty than I expected..."

I laughed and then Yugi went to sleep in my arms, I sat on the edge of my bed, and smiled. He still hasn't opened his eyes yet, but I could tell that he had Yami's nose, mouth, and face. He had my hair color, and he was just so cute. Then Yami sat down next to me and put his arm around me and said, "He's so cute..." I replied, "Just like you..." He blushed, and we just sat there.
