Engulfed in Brightness
Chapter Three
by Ravenx

“What did you do to my father?” Drake growls out as soon as the bedroom door is closed. He watches Bakura and Marik sit an unconscious Seto up against the wall by the door.

“He wouldn't leave or get out of the way. I had to give him a simple shot, he'll only be knocked out for a little while.” Yami moves over to take Akira from Yugi's arms, the little boy wrapping his arms around Yami's neck.

“Is Joey going to be okay?” Yugi whispers.

“Yes, Mikado and Zemti will make sure of it.”

“Poppa, come play with me and daddy.” Raia tugs on Marik's loose blue jeans.

“Okay, baby boy.” Marik walks over to where his mate is on the floor, a box of toy cars and trucks beside him.

“What happened to you?” Malik points at Marik's pale blonde hair which is sticking up more than usual.

“Seto pushed me over the sofa. Now what about you?” He sits down next to his mate, Raia starting to play at their feet.

“Oh, nothing. I just ran all over the mansion twice.” Malik rubs his redden cheeks, his chest still heaving slightly. “I think my legs are numb.”

“We'll have to see about that later.” Marik winks at his mate before looking down at his son.

“I hope Joey will be okay.” Malik leans his head over on his lover's shoulder.

“Don't worry, he will be.”

“Hey, guys. You mind if Akira plays over here?” Yami walks over to them.

“Cars!” Akira holds out his little hands to the box of cars.

“No problem.” Malik chuckles as Yami sits the boy down. Akira crawls over next to Raia and the two start playing.

“Where's Ryou?” Bakura looks up and down the hall.

“Oh, he had to go to the restroom.” Yugi says from his position in Yami's arms.

“Our room?”

“Yeah.” Yugi's big purple eyes watch Bakura disappear in to his own room, shutting the door after him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ryou?&# 8221; Bakura knocks on the bathroom door.

“I'll be out in a minute.” A shaky voice answers back.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I'm fine.” Ryou opens the door, a fake smile on his face.

“Don't lie to me.” Bakura's fingers trail up and down Ryou's cheek.

“I'm scared.”

“Why?”

“I'm the first male to ever carry twins. What if something goes wrong like with Joey? What if they don't know what to do? What if Brennan and Athan can't be born? What if I die in birth?” Ryou cries out, his head falling forward onto Bakura's chest.

“Shh, nothing will happen to you. I promise.” Bakura wraps his arms around Ryou.

“How? How can you promise something like that?”

“I…I don't know. But I would do anything in my power to make sure you and the twins don't die. I…I've never…” Bakura pulls back, looking down he sees Ryou's tear filled brown eyes. “Come here, sit on the bed.”

Bakura pulls his mate over to the black covered bed. Reaching down, he picks him up and places him on the bed. He moves to stand between Ryou's legs, taking the pale face of his lover in his hands. His dark brown eyes stare into lighter ones.

“Before you came here I never loved anything. You made me fall in love with the shy, scared, little boy that was given to me as a personal slave. And you did it within a month. No one has ever made me feel the way you have.” Bakura's hands move to Ryou's rounded belly. “I never thought I would like the concept of love or what I had to do when in love. But I do. And you're giving me a chance to love two more people. I will give my life if it means protecting you and our boys.”

“Kura, there's just so many things going on thats scaring me lately.” Ryou leans forward to rest his forehead on Bakura's chest.

“What things? Joey and Brayden?” Bakura rubs his mate's back.

“Yes and that dream.”

“Ryou, I've told you that isn't anything but a dream.”

“I know but it just feels so real. I feel like I'm actually there, in that hallway.”

“Well, you're not. You're in bed with me. You just ate something that didn't agree with you before you went to sleep.”

“You think?” Ryou looks up into his lover's eyes.

“Yes, I do.” Leaning down Bakura kisses Ryou's lips before moving back, placing his hands on the widening hips of his love. “Want to go back out there?”

“Not really. There's nothing to do but stand around and wait for news. I don't think my feet will be happy about that.”

“Alright, then lay back in bed.” Bakura helps move Ryou back to lean against the headboard.

“Thanks.” Ryou grabs at the white vampire's wrist as he starts toward the door. “Where are you going?”

“Out in the hall.”

“No, Kura, please. Stay here with me.” Ryou pats the bed next to him and gives his best pout to his mate.

“Fine.” Bakura sighs before moving around the bed to sit beside his love.

“What happened with your meeting about Mokuba?” Ryou leans over to rest his head on Bakura's shoulder as a strong arm wraps around his back to rest on his hip.

“We decided to send another team to try and find them. Seto wanted to go but he wants to stay here with Joey too.”

“Why wouldn't they be back by now?”

“Several reasons. They could have been attacked, weather could have delayed them, anything.”

“You think they are okay though, right?”

“Possibly.”

“For Seto I hope so.” Ryou's small hand reaches out to rub Bakura's knee. “Whose going after them?”

“We're sending a mixture of Raves and Destroyers. Saiai is going as leader.”

“When are they leaving?”

“They were going to leave tonight. But they might wait until tomorrow to see how Joey is doing.”

“That would probably be best.” Ryou tries to cover up a yawn.

“Sleepy?”

“A little.”

“Then go to sleep. I'll wake you if I hear anything.”

“Promise?”

“Yes. You want to lay down?”

“No, just hold me.” Ryou snuggles up closer to Bakura.

“I think I can manage that.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

R 20;Sweetheart, why don't you go lay Akira down in our room?” Yami leans down to kiss his mate's forehead.

“I guess.” Yugi rocks his arms back and forth slowly while Akira sleeps. “Malik, you want to bring Raia?”

“Sure.” Malik stands up before bending down and taking his sleeping son from Marik's arms. “Your room or ours?”

“Ours.” Yugi whispers as they walk down the hall. Moving one arm carefully from under Akira he opens his bedroom door before entering.

“Hikaru come in here please.” Malik says as he sees the tall tri-colored vampire coming through the door at the end of the hall leading to the sons' rooms.

Yugi walks over to the large blue bed in the center of the room. He lays Akira down close to the center of the bed, swiping back a little bang of blonde. Yugi bends down by his bedside table and removes a small blanket from a drawer. Standing back up he covers Akira with the baby blue blanket and does the same to Raia once Malik lays the boy down beside Akira.

“What do you need?” Hikaru ask from the doorway.

“Can you stay in here and keep an eye on these two?” Malik asks as he helps Yugi tuck the boys in.

“Yeah, sure. Have you heard anything on Joey yet?”

“No and its been over an hour. I'm getting worried.” Yugi wrings his hands together as he moves over toward the door.

“Getting worried? You've been worried.” Malik leans down to kiss Raia's forehead before moving over to Yugi.

“I'm sure Joey and Brayden will be fine dad.” Hikaru walks over to the dark blue loveseat, picking up a book from the coffee table.

“That's what everyone has been sayin…”

“You son of a bitch!”

Three pairs of eyes snap to the open door. Malik runs out the door and down the hall while Yugi follows, yelling at his son over his shoulder to stay with the boys. The two reach the others to find Seto awake with his hand clutching at Yami's throat, the latter pressed up against the wall with his hands on the brunette's shoulders. Saiai has a hold of Drake to make sure the tall sandy blonde doesn't try to help his father. Marik lays spread eagle on the floor.

Malik runs over to his mate, bending down he helps Marik sit up. “What happened? Are you okay?”

“Just fine. Seto woke up and decked me.” Marik rubs his jaw as he glares at the tall brunette.

“Stop Seto. Get away from him.” Yugi runs over to his mate and Seto.

“Stay out of this Yugi. This doesn't concern you.” Seto growls as his silver eyes bore into Yami's purple ones, his fangs brushing against his lips as he speaks.

“It does concern me if you're trying to kill my mate.” Yugi squeezes his small body in between the two vampires, his hands come up to push at Seto's lean chest. “Now get off!”

“Get out of my way.” Seto hisses as he uses his free hand to push Yugi to the floor.

Yami growls as he uses a foot to push off the wall. He uses the momentum to knock Seto back against the other wall, his eyes flicker between purple and silver.

“Don't you dare touch my mate like that again.”

“Yami, I'm fine. Really. Just let him go.” Yugi makes it back to his feet, slowly rubbing his arm that hit the wall on his way down.

Yami stares into Seto's eyes for a couple more seconds before slowly releasing the angry vampire. He gives a warning growl before stepping over to Yugi and wrapping his arms around him.

“You okay?”

“I'm fine.” Yugi gets on tip-toes to kiss Yami's chin.

“What the hell is going on out here? Ryou is trying to sleep.” Bakura yanks open his door.

“Seto's up.” Marik says getting to his feet.

“I can't believe you gave me a shoot to knock me out. My mate is in danger!” Seto growls.

“You wouldn't get out of the way. Mikado and Zemti needed to get to work on Joey as soon as possible and you wouldn't let them. We had to get you out of there somehow.” Yami rubs his mate's back as he looks into Seto's icy blue eyes.

“Just keep it quiet out here. Malik, you hear anything come tell Ryou.” Bakura shuts the door before anyone can say anything.

“Uh, sure.” Malik says to the closed door as he rubs Marik's jaw gently.

“How long has it been?” Seto looks over at his son.

“Over an hour.” Drake stops struggling in Saiai's arms.

“Over an hour? That's not normal. It usually only takes around forty-five minutes. Has anyone went in there to see what's wrong?”

“No, they locked the door.” Marik leans against the wall next to Bakura's room, Malik wrapped in his arms.

“Break it down.” Seto hisses.

“No. We wait. Mikado and Zemti know what they are doing. They have all the equipment in there they might need. All we would be doing is getting in the way when they need to concentrate on Joey. We're better off out here.” Yami leans against the other side of Bakura's door, Yugi snuggled up to his chest.

Seto begins pacing back and forth in front of the door, Drake soon following. The two tall vampires pass each other in front of the bedroom door every couple of minutes. Both pair of ice blue eyes stare at the floor, Seto with his arms crossed on his chest while Drake has his stuffed in the dark blue leather pants he wears. Saiai silently moves over to stand by his parents, his dark purple eyes watching his lover pacing back and forth.

Several minutes pass in silence before a lock can be heard opening. Everyone stops what they are doing to look at Seto's bedroom door as it opens enough to let Zemti come out before closing again. Zemti smiles up at everyone before looking back down at the dark blue blanket in his arms.

“Seto, you want to hold Brayden?” The small pale blonde asks as Seto moves over to him.

“Y…yes.” Seto reaches out to take the small bundle. Zemti brushes the blanket away to reveal a tiny pink face. A full head of dark brown pokes out, the thick mane sticking up in all directions. Seto smiles down at his sleeping son as he begins to gently rock him in his arms.

“He is beautiful.” Drake whispers from his view over Seto's shoulder. The others move toward the father and sons but still keep a little distance as they look at the new addition to the family.

“Sweetheart, how is Joey doing?” Malik ask his son.

“Yeah, how is he?” Seto's ice blue eyes look down into light violet ones.

“Well…uh…Mikado was dealing more with him. I was just…handing him things he needed. So…he is the guy you should talk to about Joey.”

“So where is Mikado? Is he done with dad yet?”

“Not yet. Just a little while longer.”

“What's wrong?” Seto's voice is low.

“Noth…nothing.”

“Don't lie to me boy.” Seto growls out causing Brayden to wake up and start crying.

“Seto, calm down. You're upsetting Brayden.” Yugi tries to reason with the vampire.

“Look…like I said I wasn't really involved with much of anything…so Mikado can answer your question but I have to get back in there to help him. As soon as we are done I'll send him out.” Zemti quickly closes the door as he disappears into the bedroom, the lock sounding after him.

“I want to know what's wrong.” Seto hisses as he bangs on the door with one hand, the other still holding his crying new born son.

“Seto, stop.” Malik steps forward to knock the back of Seto's head. The tall vampire turns swirling silver and blue eyes on him. “Think of your son. You should be holding him with love for the first time not with anger.”

“And don't make me have to kill you in front of your son for hurting my mate.” Marik steps up behind Malik, bringing his arms to encircle the smaller boys shoulders.

“You're right I guess.” Seto's blue eyes turn back to his son, rocking him gently as he stares into bright honey brown eyes.

“Yugi why don't you go get Ryou?” Yami asks his mate.

“Oh, yeah. I almost forgot.” Yugi goes back across the hall to knock lightly on the door to the white haired boys' room before entering quietly, letting the door close behind him.

“Hey little man.” Drake moves around to the side of his father, a long, thin finger moving to stroke his little brother's nose.

“Congratulations Seto.” Yami says as he looks over at the little bundle.

“Yeah, congrats.” Marik smiles over the top of Malik's head.

“You're a big brother now babe.” Saiai moves next to Drake, kissing his love on the cheek.

“I know. I can't believe it.”

Seto leans against the wall beside his bedroom door, his eyes never leaving his son's face. Brayden's brown eyes look around the hall, a little fist escapes the blanket to reach up and grab Seto's chin. Seto chuckles softly.

“Hey baby boy.”

“Ryou will be out in a minute. He had to go to the restroom.” Yugi comes back into the hall and over to Yami.

“Daddy, what's going on?” Malik jumps as he looks down to see Raia pulling on his pant leg.

“Oh, sweety, don't do that. You scared daddy.” Malik bends down to lift the little boy up. “Look, we have a new baby in the mansion.”

“Cool. Is that Brayden?” Raia leans over in Malik's arms to look at the little bundle.

“Yep.” Marik ruffles his son's hair.

“Raia, where's Akira?” Yugi asks the little boy.

“He's still sleeping.”

“Hikaru does know you're here, right?” Malik asks his son.

“No.”

“Raia!”

̶ 0;What? He was in the bathroom.” Raia giggles as he reaches out for Marik to take him.

“I best go tell him so he doesn't get worried when he can't find Raia.” Malik runs down the hall to Yugi and Yami's room.

“So, Brayden is here?” Ryou asks as he exists his room with Bakura right behind him.

“Yep, and he is so cute.” Yugi smiles.

“Oh, he is.” Ryou looks into the blanket Seto holds. “He looks just like Joey.”

“Yeah.” Seto whispers as he watches his son look around at all the people in the hall.

“Can we talk in private for a minute?” Saiai whispers in Drake's ear, the other turns to his lover.

“Sure. Bakura, you mind if me and Saiai talk in your room for a minute?”

“Go ahead, just don't touch anything.”

“Okay.” Saiai chuckles as he drags Drake off to the room across the hall.

“What is it you want to talk about?” Drake asks as soon as the door closes behind them.

“Do you ever want one?”

“One what?”

“A baby?”

“A baby…well I don't know. I really haven't thought about it…why?”

“I've helped my dad with my brothers and the others with their kids and I just realized that I want one. I want a baby of my very own. To take care of and protect and love. I would love it if you did too, but I understand that you're younger then me and might not be ready. Even though I really want a kid now, I'll wait if you don't want one.” Saiai says without stopping.

Drake's ice blue eyes widen at the speech, he looks in to the nervous purple eyes of his lover before taking him in his arms.

“Honey, would you just calm down. Take an unnecessary breath.” The two chuckle quietly.

“Sorry. I was just nervous. I've been trying to think of a way to tell you for a couple of weeks.”

“A couple weeks? Saiai, you should of said something. You know you can tell me anything.”

“I know.” Saiai moves back to give Drake a soft kiss on the cheek. “Now…what do you say?”

“I would love to have a kid with you.” Drake whispers as he takes hold of the tall tri-colored vampire's face, kissing him deeply.

“You're serious?” Saiai wraps his arms around his lover.

“Yes, I'm serious. The only question is who are we going to get to carry it?”

“I don't know. We'll have to start looking at the slaves and the in coming humans. I can't stop smiling.” Saiai laughs as he buries his head in Drake's neck.

“What will our parents going to say?”

“I know dad will be happy. He always loves to have a baby in the mansion. Just don't know how father will take it.” Saiai kisses up Drake's long neck to nibble on his ear.

“Same goes for me. Father might find it difficult to except but dad will love…it. Saiai, I'm…scared. What if my dad…”

“Your dad is going to be fine. My brother will take great care of him.” Saiai looks into worried blue eyes. “You have nothing to be afraid of. Joey's strong. He has been wanting a baby ever since you were born. He'll fight through anything to see Brayden. You know that.”

“Yeah, its just that this has never happened. Something is wrong and no one will tell me or father.”

“And you wonder why? Sweetheart, you and Seto are too over protective of Joey. We all want him safe but you two only get in the way and act crazed. I'm sure Mikado is just waiting to make sure he has everything in order before talking to you two, I bet he is even nervous that you will hurt him.” Saiai chuckles as Drake rolls his eyes.

“I'm not like my father.”

“Are you kidding me? You're exactly like your father. Now, lets get back out there. We'll tell them about our decision after I get back from finding Mokuba. Right now you have a little brother you need to start loving.”

“Yeah, I guess you're right.”

“Aren't I always? Besides if we are going to have our own little one you're going to have to learn to take care of a baby.” Saiai moves toward the door.

“Hey! I helped with some of the others.”

“Yelling at the brats, as you call them, to leave you alone isn't really helping.”

“Whatever.” Drake follows his lover back out into the hallway.

“What were you two doing?”

“Nothing dad.” Saiai leans down to kiss Yugi's cheek before whispering in his ear. “Heard anything yet from Mikado?”

“No.” Yugi whispers back as he leans his head on his oldest son's chest. Yami moves away from Seto over to his son and mate.

“Saiai, I talked with Seto. We both think it will be best to wait until tomorrow to go out in search for Mokuba. That okay with you?”

“Yeah. How's he holding up.” Saiai watches his lover move to stand next to his father, a long fingered hand reaching up to brush some dark brown hair from his new little brother's forehead.

“Not to good. But I think he is trying to focus all his energy on Brayden. Trying to take his mind off worrying about Mokuba and Joey long enough to enjoy holding his son for the first time.”

“You alright?” Bakura leans down to whisper in Ryou's ear as the two stand back a little from the others.

“My feet are starting to hurt.” Ryou leans his head on his mate's chest as strong arms wrap around him.

“You want to go back to bed?”

“No, I want to stay out here and wait for news.” Ryou's bright brown eyes look over to the new baby. “I can't wait to hold Brennan and Athan.” He rubs his rounded belly.

“Me either.” Bakura kisses the top of his mate's snowy white head.

The clicking of a lock snaps all eyes toward Seto and Joey's bedroom door. Slowly the large oak door opens to reveal Mikado, his once green shirt replaced with a larger light blue tank top. His dark purple eyes look around at the people in the hallway before resting on Seto's ice blue eyes.

“What's wrong?” Seto's voice is barely above a whisper.

“Seto, I need to talk to you and Drake for a minute alone. Leave Brayden out here with someone.” Mikado moves back into the room.

“Mikado, what's wrong?” Seto repeats.

“I'll tell you. Just come in here.”

“Malik, will you take Brayden?” Seto doesn't take his eyes off the short tri-colored vampire in the doorway.

“Yeah.” Malik takes the little bundle from Seto and watches the two tall ice blue eyed vampires go into the room. Zemti exists the room before the door is closed behind him.

“Baby, what's going on?” Malik asks his oldest son as he rocks Brayden back and forth.

“Mikado said not to say anything. You'll have to wait until he tells you.”
