Engulfed in Brightness
Chapter Two
by Ravenx

Ryou stumbles down a pitch-black hallway. His small hands trail across the cold walls, his large brown eyes search all around him but find nothing in the dark. All of a sudden, at the end of the hall there is a pale light seeping out around a closed door. The white haired boy moves toward it, reaching out to touch the cold metal of the doorknob.

“Come to me my darling.” A voice whispers.

Ryou jumps back, his wide eyes searching all around him.

“Don't be afraid. I would never harm you. I only wish to take care of you and the chosen ones.”

Ryou gasps as he feels a phantom hand rubbing his large stomach. He steps away from the door, his arms going protectively around his belly.

“Don't touch me or them. Who are you?” Wide brown eyes look around the empty hall.

“Someone who wishes to protect them, to take care of them. There is no need to fear me. All you have to do is open the door and I can take you away from your dark world and bring you into the light. Just imagine the smiles on little Brennan and Athan's faces as they play in the sun.”

“They're vampires! They would die in the sun. Wait…how did…how did you know their names?”

“I know everything about you and them. I have been watching you. Getting to know you. It was your destiny to be the one to bare the chosen ones.”

“Chosen ones? What does that mean?”

“You will find out soon enough. Just remember when the time comes to open the door and enter your new life, I will never hurt you or the little ones. You have my word.”

“But…who are you?” The light behind the door vanishes casting Ryou back in darkness. He starts lashing out his arms trying to hit something solid. “Wait…don't. Come back. Who are you? Who are you?”

“Ouch! I'm your mate which you just hit. Damn, Ryou wake up. Ryou!”

“Huh? What?” Ryou's brown eyes open wide to look above him at Bakura who is rubbing his cheek.

“You hit me.”

“Sorry, Kura. What happened?” Ryou sits up to lean against the headboard of the bed.

“I don't know. You started thrashing around saying `come back' and `who are you.'” Bakura moves to sit next to his mate.

“Are you okay?” Ryou's small hand reaches out to caress Bakura's pale cheek.

“I guess. I might feel a little better if I got a kiss though.” Bakura smirks as he leans over to capture Ryou's lips.

“Better?”

“Oh yeah. Now what were you dreaming about?”

“I don't know. It didn't make sense.” Ryou leans over to rest his head on Bakura's shoulder, his hands rubbing over his unborn sons.

“Tell me about it.”

“I was in a dark hallway and then all of a sudden a light came from around a door at the end. I walked to it and was about to open it when there was this voice from no where. It said it would never hurt me or Brennan and Athan. That they were the chosen ones.”

“Chosen ones?”

“Yeah, I don't know what that means, he didn't say. He said that when its time I should open the door and enter the light. That the boys would be happy in the sun.”

“The sun? The sun was destroyed long ago.”

“I know and I told him they couldn't live in the sun anyway because they are vampires. But he said he would protect us. Then he was gone and so was the light and I tried to find something to touch but couldn't.”

“I think you found something.” Bakura rubs his cheek again.

“I said I was sorry.” Ryou pouts.

“I know.” Bakura leans over and starts to nuzzle his nose around Ryou's neck causing the smaller boy to giggle.

“Kura, stop. This is serious. What do you think it meant?” He pushes the vampire away a few inches to look into darker brown eyes.

“It was just a dream, Ryou. Nothing more. Don't make anything out of it.” Bakura kisses along his mate's jaw, sucking on his earlobe while rubbing his hand over the rounded belly.

“Oh, Kura.” Ryou moans as Bakura moves more on top of him, careful not to put his entire weight on his mate.

Ryou yelps as strong hands take hold of the back of his thighs and pull him to lay back on the pillows. His arms reach up to encircle his lover's shoulders, pulling him down for a passionate kiss. Bakura growls as a knock comes from the door.

“Go away!” He mumbles into Ryou's thin neck.

“Bakura, Yami wants to talk to you.” Yugi's small, almost terrified voice squeaks from the other side of the door.

“I said go away.” Bakura turns and yells at the door before continuing with his nips and kisses along Ryou's jaw and neck.

“Kura, maybe you should go.” Ryou moans as his blunt nails dig into Bakura's bare shoulder.

“Don't want to. Besides, the little shrimp left.”

“Guess so…oh, Kura. I love you.”

“Love you too my little angel.”

“Bakura! Open up this damn door now! Ouch, sorry.” Yami's voice calls through the door, the last sentence barely audible through the wood.

“Oh, for crying out loud.” Bakura rest his head on Ryou's shoulder before getting up carefully from the bed and going to open the door. “What?” He yells in Yami's face.

“We need to have a meeting, now.” Yami says as he rubs his upper arm and glances at Yugi from the corner of his eye. The smaller boy stands with an angry glare directed to his mate while he holds their youngest son.

“What about?”

“We haven't heard anything from Mokuba's group in over three weeks. They were only suppose to be gone for two. We need to decide what to do.”

“I don't care. Deal with it yourself.” Bakura starts to shut the door but a strong hand stops him.

“You're coming. And I don't want my son traumatized by seeing your room so drop Ryou by Joey and Seto's room on your way.” Yami lets go of the door and turns down the hall, leaving Yugi to receive a growl from Bakura before a hand reaches out from behind the tall white haired boy and pops him on the back of the head.

“Ouch!” Bakura turns to look at Ryou.

“Don't growl at him. He didn't do anything and your scaring little Akira.” Ryou moves past Bakura. “Go to your meeting and be a good little vampire.” Ryou smirks over his shoulder as he waddles across the hall to knock on Joey and Seto's door.

“Come in.” Joey's voice calls through the door.

Yugi quickly enters the dark blue room with Akira, while Ryou turns to look at a still growling Bakura. He slowly walks over and trails his hand down his mate's bare chest.

“Don't be mad. You need to go figure out what to do about Mokuba and his group.”

“But we were in the middle of something.” Bakura almost whines.

“I know.” Ryou chuckles. “Maybe we can finish it later. Love you.”

“Love you too.” Bakura lends down to kiss Ryou before moving back into their bedroom.

Ryou smiles as he enters Joey's room to find the sandy blonde laying on his bed with Yugi and Akira next to him. The little tri-colored boy laying with his head on Joey's stomach.

“Sorry about that Yugi.” Ryou closes the door as he waddles over to them, doing a little maneuvering to get onto the foot of the bed and facing the other two mates.

“No problem. Although Yami was a little mad.”

“He didn't scare Akira, did he?” Ryou smiles as the little boy crawls back over to Yugi to sit in his lap.

“I don't think so. He just wanted to snuggle up closer is all.”

A light knocking comes from the door.

“Come in!” Joey calls before lowering his voice. “I just can't get up like I used to.”

“I know what you mean.” Ryou chuckles rubbing his belly. He looks over to the door to see Raia come in, running over to Ryou and Yugi's side of the bed.

“Hey!” The pale blonde waves.

“Hey there, little man.” Joey smiles as he looks up to see Malik running in the room.

“One thing I hate about vampire children: their speed. I turn around for one second and he is already out the door.” Malik stops behind Raia to catch his breath before bending down to pick up his son.

“Hikaru used to do that all the time. He loved seeing how many times he could run up and down the hall before I realized he was gone.” Yugi watches Malik walking to the other side of the bed, placing Raia on the swirling blue and silver sheets before sitting on the edge himself.

Raia crawls into the center of the bed and lays down on his stomach, his small, thin legs kicking in the air behind him.

“Daddy, I'm bored.”

“Well, you should have brought some toys with you.” Malik reaches out to playfully pop his sons rear end causing Raia to giggle.

“Here, you guys watch Akira and I'll go get some of his toys.” Yugi puts his small son down on the bed before leaving the room.

“Daddy?” Akira looks to the door.

“Its okay. Daddy just went to get some toys for you to play with.” Joey reaches out to rub Akira's back.

“How is Seto taking the news of Mokuba?” Malik asks Joey.

“Not too good. He doesn't know who to worry about more, his little brother or me. I think he is going to go nuts soon.” Joey chuckles as he watches Akira crawl over to Raia in the middle of the bed.

“What do you think happened to Mokuba?” Ryou asks.

“Don't know. Seto's worried some demons might have gotten a hold of them.”

“But his group is strong enough to take on a couple dumb demons.” Malik leans back against a bed post.

“True, but its not like Mokuba to stay out longer than needed. And if he does he usually sends back one of his men to tell us. He knows how worried something like this makes Seto.”

“Okay, I have little cars.” Yugi comes back with a small box filled with small cars and trunks. He places them in the center of the bed with the boys before taking up his seat at the head board again.

Joey groans as he rubs his stomach and closes his eyes tight.

“Joey, are you okay?” Yugi's voice is full of concern.

“Yeah, I'm fine. I think Brayden wants to come out already.” He chuckles.

“You sure you can last two more weeks?” Malik asks.

“Don't know. Mikado says he might see how I'm doing in a few days. If he thinks Brayden is in full health he said he'll probably deliver him.”

“I can't wait to have another baby in the mansion.” Yugi smiles.

“Yep and in a couple more months they'll be two more.” Ryou speaks up.

“How is Mikado doing handling a twin birth?” Malik laughs as Raia starts making quiet voom noises while he plays with the cars, Akira mimicking him.

“He is trying to treat it like a normal birth. But he says they will probably have to be born around eight months instead of nine. Something about them getting to big to share my little body.” Ryou rolls his eyes.

“Will they be healthy by then?” Yugi ask.

“He thinks so. He found some old books about twin pregnancies and has been reading them. But they talk about females being pregnant, not males.”

“I still can't believe we are all going to have kids to take care of at the same time.” Joey looks around at the other mates.

“I know. Ryou must be our good luck charm. He becomes Bakura's mate and all of a sudden we all get pregnant.” Yugi laughs.

“I'm still a little mad that you got pregnant again before I did.” Joey points at the little tri-colored mate beside him.

“Akira's only one and a half years old. I didn't beat you by much.”

“And Ryou has only been here five years and he is just a couple of months behind me.” Joey pouts.

“Maybe its because you and Seto try to hard.” Three pair of eyes look to Malik. “What? We all know they go at each other like animals.”

“I don't see how that could stop us from having kids.”

“You're not the only one.” Ryou says.

“Well, we know that can't be true anyway. Just look at Ryou.” Now three pair of eyes snap to Yugi. “After Ryou became Bakura's mate they hardly left their room and now they have two on the way.”

“He makes a good poin…” Joey is cut off by a groan.

“Joey? What's wrong?” Ryou leans up, his voice filled with concern.

“Brayden…oh…he….kicking…har d…oh…painfully.” Joey's hands rub around his slightly twitching stomach, his eyes are squeezed shut, his breathing rough.

“I'm going to get Seto.” Malik jumps off the bed.

“No! Don't, he needs to worry about Mokuba.” Joey grunts out.

“Then at least let me go get Drake.”

“Oh, fine.”

“Daddy can I come?” Raia sits up on his knees.

“No, baby. Stay here and play with Akira.” Malik turns and runs out the door.

“Akira come here baby.” Yugi gets down off the bed and reaches for his son.

“What are you doing, Yugi?” Ryou takes his eyes off Joey for a second to look at the smaller boy.

“I'm going to put them on the floor by the couch. Then they won't be in the way.” Yugi moves Akira to the floor in front of the sofa before moving back to the bed. “Come on Raia, let me help you down.” He lifts the bigger boy down off the bed and to the floor. “Here take the cars and go play with Akira on the floor.”

“Okay.” Raia runs off with the small box of cars to the sofa.

“Joey?”

“Ryou, I'm fine…oh…Brayden just…won't stop.”

“He must have heard us talking about him.” Yugi tries to joke as he bounces from foot to foot.

“What's the problem?” Mikado enters the open door. “Malik stopped me in the hall and said something was wrong in here.”

“Its Joey, sweetie.” Yugi says to the other short, tri-colored boy.

“Brayden…wants to kick…oh…hurts…lots.”

“Lay down.” Mikado walks over to the bed, rolling his long green sleeves up to his elbows. He gently lifts Joey's gray shirt up to reveal the large belly, his hands moving Joey's to the side as he feels over the barely moving flesh.

Mikado's dark purple eyes look over the skin with expertise. His cool hands run lightly over the rounded stomach, pressing down every once in a while. He tilts his head slightly as he watches the belly twitch for a couple seconds before remaining still than twitching again.

“What is it?” Ryou ask quietly.

“Not sure yet. Joey, I'm going to have a little listen, okay.”

After receiving a nod from the sandy blonde boy Mikado bends down and lets his right ear press against the pregnant stomach. Everyone in the room is perfectly quiet except the occasion giggle from the two little boys on the other side of the blue sofa. Three pairs of eyes are glued to Mikado's tri-colored head resting on Joey's belly. After a couple minutes he lifts his head and looks in thought as his eyes watch the pale belly in front of him.

“Sweetie, what is it?” Yugi asks impatiently.

“I think we need to get Brayden out of there. Something isn't right.”

“What do you…oh…mean? Is Brayden….alright?” Joey grips the sides of his belly.

“For now, I think he is. But we need to get him out as soon as possible. I'll know more about what's going on once I've got you cut open.” Mikado looks down into the worried eyes of the sandy blonde. “Don't worry, Joey. I'll do everything in my power to ensure both you and Brayden are safe. I'll go get my things. As soon as I get back we'll get started, okay.”

“Now! Ok…okay.” Joey squeezes his eyes shut again as Mikado runs out the door, he doesn't see how close the smaller boy comes to running into Drake.

“Dad? Are you okay? What's going on?” Drake's normal unmoving voice is filled with worry and concern as he crosses to the bed next to Joey.

“Mikado is going to have to deliver Brayden now. There's something wrong but he isn't sure what.” Yugi wraps his arms around himself as he looks over to see Malik running back into the room. “Malik go get Seto.”

“What?! I just ran all the way there and back.” The pale blonde leans against the foot of the bed trying to catch his breath.

“Brayden has to be born now. Go get Seto.” Yugi repeats.

“Oh, fine. Fine. I'm going.” Malik turns back around and runs out the door again.

“Uncle Ryou, why is daddy running around?” Ryou looks down to see Raia with a car in his hand, wide violet eyes looking up into brown.

“He had to get Drake and now he has to get your Uncle Seto.”

“Why?”

“Because your Uncle Joey is about to have your cousin, Brayden.” Ryou runs his small hand through Raia's soft pale blonde hair.

“Really?”

“Yep.”

& #8220;Cool.” Raia looks up onto the bed. “Why does he look like that?” He points at Joey's whincing face.

“Because he is hurting. But he won't for long. Why don't you go back over with Akira.” Ryou pokes the little nose before Raia turns and runs back over to Akira.

“Drake…it hurts…baby.” Joey reaches up to take hold of his son's tight black tank top.

“Shh…its gonna be okay dad.” Drake brushes the sandy blonde bangs off of Joey's sweating forehead.

“Zemti!” Yugi calls as the pale blonde boy walks past the door.

“Huh?” Zemti pokes his head in the room.

“Come here, Mikado might need your assistance.”

“My assistance for what?” The small vampire walks to the edge of the bed, his pale violet eyes looking at Joey.

“Joey's having Brayden. Mikado says there might be something wrong. He might need your help.” Ryou looks beside him at Zemti.

“Oh, okay. Where's Mikado?”

“Getting his stuff.”

“What is…taking him…so…oh…long?” Joey asks between grunts and moans.

“Shh, dad don't talk. Just relax.”

Yugi moves closer to Ryou at the foot of the bed, he reaches out to twirl a lock of white hair around his fingers as his purple eyes watch his friend laying on the bed in pain. Ryou leans his head over to rest against the smaller boys shoulder, his hands rubbing his belly, the twins becoming active all of a sudden.

“Puppy!” Seto runs into the room and over to his mate. “Puppy, are you okay?” One large hand rubs his mate's belly while he runs long, thin fingers over Joey's cheek with the other.

“Hurts!” Joey moans out.

“Okay, everyone out except Joey.” Mikado enters the room carrying a couple large suitcases. He looks around at the unmoving people. “Now would be good. Oh, Zemti you stay too. Get the shot ready while I set up.”

“Okay.” Zemti takes one of the suitcases over to the side of the bed.

“Uh, Yugi help me up.” Ryou holds out his hands to the smaller mate who helps him slide off the high bed. Once his feet are on the floor he moves over to the sofa. “Come on, Raia, we have to leave now. Bring the cars with you.”

Raia looks up and smiles. He grabs the box of cars and heads to the door, he looks back at Ryou. “Are you coming Uncle Ryou?”

“I'm coming sweetie. It takes me longer to move around then it use to.” The pregnant mate smiles as he moves toward the door.

“Up we go, Akira.” Yugi picks up his youngest son, making sure to grab the little toy truck by his foot and heads after Ryou.

“Drake, Seto, that means you guys leave too.” Mikado says as he opens a smaller bag from one of the suitcases to reveal wrapped up medical tools.

“I'm not leaving my puppy.” Seto growls as he kneels by the bed.

“I'm not leaving either.” Drake's hand runs through Joey's hair.

“Well, you have to move so I can give him the shoot to knock him out.” Zemti says from behind the duo.

“They will be moving, out into the hall. Now!” Mikado grabs Drake's arm and pulls him away from the bed earning him a growl.

“Get your hands off me.” Drake's arm swings out to hit the tri-colored vampire in the face but is stopped when arms come up under his arms and take a hold of his shoulders, pulling him back.

“Don't even think of hitting my son.” Yami hisses in Drake's ear.

“Let go of me, Yami.” Drake growls.

“If you calm down and leave this room I will.”

“I'm not leaving my dad.”

“Drake, come on. Lets go into the hall. You'll only be in way if you're in here.” Saiai appears beside the two vampires, he reaches out to stroke Drake's cheek. His dark purple eyes silently pleading with icy blue.

“Fine.” Drake sighs as Yami lets go of him. Saiai reaches out to take his lover's hand, pulling him to the door.

“Seto, get out. Don't make me drag you out of here.” Yami turns to the tall brunette beside Joey.

“I'd like to see you try.” Seto snaps.

“Seto…” Joey whines.

“We need to get started now. Everyone but me, Zemti, and Joey needs to get out.” Mikado yells.

“Seto.” Yami warns only to be ignored. He looks over toward the door. “Marik, Bakura. Get in here.”

The two vampires enter the room and head over to Seto, one on each side of him. Reaching down they grab his arms and haul him off his feet, kicking and growling to the door. The brunette snaps his teeth at Marik's fingers causing the pale blonde to loosen his grip. Seto takes the advantage and pushes Marik back causing him to trip over the back of the sofa. Reaching over Seto grabs the back of Bakura's neck and tosses him over onto the floor. Seto groans out as he spins around, his hand reaching up to his shoulder.

“Sorry Seto.” Yami says as he hands the empty needle back to Mikado. He watches Seto fall to the floor with a thud.
