***Duel Mistress***

**Sere's POV**

I pushed myself away from my desk roughly; I had been glaring at my homework for the last three hours, but I hadn't been able to get any of it done because I couldn't keep my mind off of Ryou for more than a minute. I knew he was mad at me for not wanting to go to prom with him, but his friends didn't have to be so cold towards me. I stood up quickly, a little too quickly it seemed for when I stood a wave of nausea hit me hard and made me run to the bathroom very quickly. I threw open the door, ran to the toilet and started to violently throw up. When it seems there was nothing else to throw up I pulled away from the toilet and wiped my mouth with toilet paper. I put my hand on the wall to steady myself; the light in the room seemed to pierce through my head like a splinter giving me an instant headache. I moaned softly at the pain I felt.

"Oh man, what's wrong with me, I feel like shit" I whispered under my breath, slowly I walked back into my room on unstable legs and sat on my bed. I felt really weird; I had been feeling weird for almost a week now I just hadn't had time to dwell on it until now. I had been too worried that Ryou would stay angry with me about that stupid dance. I kept wondering why he hadn't asked just why I wouldn't go with him, he should know me well enough to know it wasn't just about a dress. Maybe, maybe the rest of the school was right maybe Ryou did just want me for sex.

`BAKA' my Yami's voice in my head shocked me quite thoroughly, `don't sell Ryou short! You know he loves you, he's not the type to use people and you know it.'

//Well I umm//

`No umms, about it you know I'm right. Hell I'm always right!! Ryou is Bakura's reincarnation, like Yami like Hikari ok. If Bakura loves me, and I know he does. Than Ryou loves you because you're my reincarnation, like I said Serenity like Yami, like Hikari!!'

//If you say so Yami// my voice even in my head sounded drained and defeated.

I got up from my bed; I had to get my homework done no matter how bad I felt. I walked back over to my desk on unsteady legs and sat down heavily in my chair.

//Yami I need to get my work done, but I can't keep my mind off of Ryou// I said turning my thoughts inward.

`Don't worry aibou just remember what I said. He won't stay mad at you forever you know, that's not his character.' her voice soothed me a little and I finally managed to get down to work. After about half an hour Marie came into my room saying there was a phone call for me, I took the phone.

**Ryou's POV**

I sat at the kitchen table trying to do my homework; my dad had come home yesterday and instantly noticed that something was wrong. I refused to tell him that while he was gone I had got a girlfriend, lost my virginity, fallen head over heels in love and had my hearth shattered all in the same month. No that would make him worry about me and that was something I had strived for since my mother died. Right now my father was in the kitchen making dinner for the two of us; the only thing I had managed to tell him was that the prom was a week and a half away.

I looked up when I heard him come into the room, he set food in front of me and I put my books on the chair next to me.

"So the prom is in a week huh?" he asked casually.

"Yeah," I said pushing my food around on my plate.

"So who's the lucky girl you're taking?" he asked his voice turning sly.

"Umm Ling-sama," I averted my eyes.

"Ling-sama is that, that Shika girl?" he asked interested.

"Uh yeah," I said still picking at my food.

"Well she's quite the looker ne?" he said with a grin.

"Yeah she's beautiful dad." I just stared at my food.

"When did you ask her?" his voice was laced with curiosity.

"Three weeks ago." I mumbled.

"You're not hungry Ryou." His father's eyes were focused on my barely touched food.

"No, not really I should go do my homework, I have tons of it." With that I put my dishes in the kitchen, and took my school books upstairs.

When I got to my room however, I just tossed my books on my desk and flopped down on my bed.

\\Ling-sama, sure she was gorgeous but she wasn't who I wanted to go with really. I just don't get why Sere won't go with me, did she use me like everyone was always saying that I was doing to her?\\

`You really have no self-esteem you know Ryou' I was startled when I heard my Yami's voice in my head.

\\what do you mean Yami?\\ I asked already pretty sure on what he was going to say.

`You really sell that girl short you know, did you ever think that maybe this wasn't about you or about some stupid dress, ever think maybe this has to do with her?' he asked.

\\I don't get what you mean\\ I replied.

`You know she has some problems, did you think that maybe this might have to do with her sister?'

\\huh?\\

`You know her sister died when she was young, she did mention to you that day that her sister was a very feminine woman was she not, so did you ever stop to think that maybe wearing a dress and this whole prom thing might remind her of her sister?' his rants were making sense.

"Wait her, her sister died after her own prom" I said out loud. "That must be it."

"Bravo" my Yami said sarcastically. "Now that she thinks you're mad at her, and you've gotten all your friends mad at her you finally realize just what this could be about, your intelligence astounds me."

"Can it Yami" I said glaring at him "make yourself useful and hand me the phone will you?" he laughed but handed the phone over from my desk.

RING, RING, RING

"Hello Anderson home can I help you?" a young woman's voice was heard at the end of the line.

"Uh yes can I speak to Sere please?" I asked my heart thumping.

"Who may I ask is calling?" the woman asked.

"Uh this is Ryou." I answered, hoping Sere would talk to me.

"Oh hello Bakura-sama, Sere's doing her homework I'll see if she's done." The woman's voice sounded familiar but I could place it so I just said thank you.

I waited a few minutes, the sound of the phone being passed over was heard and I heard Sere's voice on the other end.

"Hello?" she sounded drained.

"Ummm, is this a bad time?" I asked hoping she wasn't sick.

"Who is it?" her voice sounded impatient.

"Uh this is Ryou." I said softly, praying she wouldn't just hang up.

"What do YOU want!?" now it was obvious she was mad.

"I umm, umm"

"Well spit it out I don't have all day." It was obvious she was mad at me.

"I wanted to apologize." I said in a rush.

"Apologize?" she sounded confused and her anger seemed to vanish.

**Sere's POV**

"Apologize?" I asked confused.

"Yeah, I wasn't thinking before I should have asked about the prom, instead of just assuming that because you were my girlfriend that you'd want to go." He said his voice sincere.

"Well, umm I shouldn't have overreacted I guess, I should have taken the time to explain why." I admitted.

"I think I know why now." He said.

"Oh?" I said.

"Is it about your umm," he started to ask.

"Sister," I finished, he made a noise that I took as a yes. "It's partly about my sister Ryou, partly about other things."

"I thought so" his tone changed to one of amusement "you're one confusing woman Sere"

"I know," I smiled despite the fact that I knew he couldn't see me.

"So, umm are we ok now?" he asked slowly the amusement disappearing from his voice.

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow, but I won't go to prom." I stated.

"Than we'll spend the night together we'll go somewhere ok?" he asked.

"Yeah I'd like that." I said "Goodnight Ryou I love you."

"I love you too Sere." With that we hung up.

**Ryou's POV**

For the first time in three weeks I slept soundly, and had to be woken up by my alarm clock when it went off at six am. I got up, got a shower and ate breakfast like I usually did. Than got myself off the school, when I got there my friends were waiting for me.

"Ohayo Ryou-kun" they said cheerfully, though I could tell their cheerfulness was forced. I was about to say something when we walked by Sere's locker, she wasn't there, when I heard a voice that I hadn't heard in weeks yell out.

"Ryou baby" I turned a smile already on my face, just in time to catch Sere in my arms.

"Konichiwa" I whispered. She looked up at me her lavender eyes sparkling.

"Konichiwa Ryou-chan" with that she buried her face in my chest.

If it had been anyone else calling me Chan I would have taken serious offense, but I knew when Sere said it she meant it in a loving way.

My friends were pretty thoroughly shocked at our behavior. When Sere looked up again she noticed the shocked looks on their faces and laughed while pulling away from me, but still keeping her arms around my waist.

"We made up," she said still laughing.

"Uh yeah," I said "we talked yesterday and we're ok now" I smiled again and went to kiss Sere when I saw someone out of the corner of my eye that made me freeze.

"Huh?" Sere said following my gaze as her eyes settled on Ling Shika. "Doushita Ryou-chan?"

"I have to fix things Sere, stay here." I released her and started my way over to Shika. "Ling-sama?"

She turned when she heard me speak, "Hello Ryou-kun something the matter? We're still on for the prom right?"

I glanced over my shoulder and judging by the look on Sere's face she had heard what she said.

"Actually Ling-sama no we're not, I changed my mind I don't wanna take you." I said, I heard the gasps all around the hall.

"You what!!" she shrieked.

"I'd rather be with Sere that night." I said.

"You would choose that fat, ugly bitch over me!!!" her shrieks could be heard all the way down the hall.

At her words I felt a rage like nothing I had ever felt course though me, "for one thing," I said as calmly as I could though my rage was evident "Sere is not fat, nor is she ugly. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever met." People were stunned by my words "for another thing, it was wrong of me to take your invitation in the first place. Just because you have a pretty face doesn't mean that you can put others down, people may see you as beautiful at first glance but Sere, she's still beautiful after you get to know her." I heard a gasp from behind me that caused me to turn around.

Sere stood there frozen in shock, seemingly unable to move from her spot.

**Sere's POV**

I stood there frozen unable to move Ryou's words sinking in, when they finally did and the meaning behind them I ran forward and threw my arms around Ryou's waist and buried my face in his chest.

"Angel did you mean that?" I asked my voice muffled. I heard him whisper in my ear.

"Every word my love." My grip on him tightened a considerable amount. Finally I managed to look up at him, his eyes once again captivating me the way they had the first time we met.

"I love you Bakura Ryou!" I stated.

"I love you too Mizoru Shizuka." I looked up I was surprised that he knew my name in Japanese, but I smiled none the less.

It was the night before the prom, the night before Ryou and I had promised we would spend together and where was I, at the hospital of all places. I had been with my friends for the weekend and for almost a half an hour I couldn't stop throwing up. So they being the worriers that they were brought me to the hospital where I was made to take a bunch of different tests just to find out why I felt sick.

After about an hour or two of waiting the doctor finally came back into the room holding the clipboard with a bunch of papers, probably medical reports on it. Casey was the first to speak.

"Well, what's wrong with Sere is she sick?" her voice was overflowing with worry and concern.

"No she's not sick but she is well into her fifth week." The doctor answered.

"What do you mean sir?" I asked trying to be the mature one.

"You didn't know?" the doctor asked.

"Know what?" we all chorused.

"Mizoru-sama you're pregnant!"
