Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Hostile Takeover ❯ Our Daughter ( Chapter 20 )

Malik lover and anzu basher: I know. It was kinda shocking, wasn't it? I know that malik and marik scene was hard to write. of course, that's not half as bad as what's to come.

Valea: Oh, that's not half of what they'll see later. Nothing too bad, though.

bakachibi voidfox: that chappie was one of the most awesome I ever did.

Joey rules: I MISSED YOU! thank you for reviewing and enjoying this! This is too much fun!

Pharaoh Yamis princess: Yeah, I can relate to a lot of the last chappie, too. scary. Aku has a loooooooooooong time before he's caught.

Ryous mistress: Yes. That was necessary. I had to get that marik and malik scene off my chest. and some personal demons needed to be quelled. I promise I won't hurt him…..not until chappie 25 anyway.

Ryou Bakura: I thought that was the best yet, too!

Lady Elfskye: We have a long time before he gets caught.

Anon: Thank you, Anon! sex and bloodlust..what more can one ask for??

IYYASHI: Thank you! I feel so loved. Course that may not last. *evil grin*

Dragondreamer: *holds chocolate sauce* HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Acidflower: Thank you!

Marik ishtar: mmm..chocolate.

Our Daughter

The next day, Marik and Bakura fed Aten and Aria lunch and dressed them in their play clothes. Their trip to Seto's was delayed due to Aten's appointment with Callisto at her office downtown.

Aten grabbed his Change of Heart plushie and smiled.

"I wan tee Unkie Seto!"

Aria pouted as Bakura put her hair up in ponytails.

"Unpout that lip, little miss," Bakura growled.

"Why I have to say I'm sorry?"

"Because when you do something wrong, you should apologize, that's why. I told you yesterday that what you did to Hayden was very wrong. Hayden did not deserve what you did to him."

Aria sniffled. "But he's trying to take Seto away from me."

Bakura kneeled down to her level. "Think of it this way, Aria. You have Aten as a brother, right? You know Aten would never try to take mommy away from you. We love you and Aten equally. There will never be a day when we will love Aten more than you. We love you both." Bakura cupped her cheek in his hands. "We will always love you and Aten. It's the same thing with Seto. Seto will always love you, Aria."

Aria sniffled and looked up at Bakura with her large chibi eyes. "Really? You'll never hate me?"

Bakura brought his daughter into his arms. "You are my flesh and blood, chibi yami. I could never hate you. I always wanted a child, Aria. The gods have blessed me with you. You are everything I wished for in a daughter." Bakura kissed her cheek and grinned. "Besides, who else would enjoy this as much as you?" Bakura buried his face in her neck and growled, making her squeal and laugh.

"Daddy! Stop! That tickles!"

Bakura withdrew from Aria and smiled at her. "My little girl feel better now?"

Aria nodded. "Yes."

"Grab your toy and let's go."

Aria grabbed her M&M plushie and ran down the stairs.

Malik took some money out of Marik's wallet. "I have to go buy some groceries. We're out of tea and coffee."

Marik and Bakura's eyes glazed over. "Not Coffee!!"

"I'll be back soon!" Malik kissed Ryou and Bakura goodbye and scurried out the door leaving Marik shocked.

"You and Malik having some problems, Marik?"

Marik shook his head and sighed. "No. No. We're fine. Let's go, Aten." Marik opened the door and his chibi skipped out the door carrying his toy monkey.

"We'll be back, Ryou. Call Seto's if you need us to pick up anything on the way home."

Ryou nodded. "Ok, yami. This place really needs to be cleaned up."

Bakura wrapped his arms around Ryou. "I love you, Ryou."

Ryou blushed and nuzzled into Bakura. "I love you, too, yami."

Ryou kissed his children goodbye and watched as the car pulled away.

The door closed and Malik peeked around the corner grinning.

//Now to ruin Ryou's trust in his yami!//

[Not Ryou! Didn't you do enough last night?]

//No! Now that I am strong enough, I can assume Bakura's form! Ryou will think that we are really Bakura! It's time to put that hikari in his place!//

*****************************

Ryou placed Aria's dolls in her little toybox. He removed the blankets from the playpen and changed the bedding. Ryou arranged the toys in the playpen and grabbed the vacuum cleaner when Bakura walked through the door.

"Bakura, aren't you going to Seto's place?"

Bakura grinned at Ryou. "I have some business to attend to before I go to Seto's."

Bakura backhanded Ryou, sending him to the floor. Ryou's eyes widened in horror as Bakura hovered above him.

Bakura pulled his leg back and Ryou put up a hand to defend himself. Bakura kicked Ryou on the birth scar. Ryou curled up into a whimpering ball. "Bakura! Stop!"

Bakura grabbed Ryou's collar. "Since when did I give you permission to ask me to stop?"

Ryou began to cry and tried to stand up. "I'm sorry!"

"'I'm sorry' WHAT? Did you forget what you used to call me?"

Ryou trembled. "I'm sorry…..master!"

Bakura pushed him down on his back and held him down by his wrists. Bakura moved between Ryou's legs, pressing down on him.

"Bakura! Please! Let me up!"

"You're pathetic Ryou! Shivering and whimpering like the coward you are!"

"Please don't pin me down! My dad pinned me!" Ryou begged, breathing heavily.

Bakura snarled. "I thought you enjoyed this, Ryou. Besides being on your back is all you're good for!"

Ryou sobbed, turning his head away from Bakura. "How can you say that?"

"Because you are a waste of my time and effort! Just like our daughter!"

Ryou turned to Bakura, struggling with the yami "That's not true! I love our daughter!"

Bakura growled. "I'm glad you do. At least one of us does. I, however, think otherwise."

Bakura leaned down to Ryou. "We should have destroyed Aria when we had the chance."

Ryou shook his head crying. "No."

"We should have killed her, Ryou. We'd be better off without her. Admit it!"

Ryou shook his head. "No. I love Aria!"

Bakura leaned closer. "Admit it! You wished you never gave birth to Aria!"

"No! I can't admit what I know is a lie!"

"My life would have been even more complete if you died giving birth. This way, I'd have both Marik and Malik to screw until my heart's content."

Bakura removed himself from Ryou, watching the hikari curl into a ball, clutching his stomach.

Bakura kicked Ryou in the scar and growled.

"I should have killed Aria myself, Ryou. I should have killed her, drowned her, beat her, strangled her, with my own two hands."
"Yami…….stop."

Bakura sneered. "And I should have killed you for wanting to keep Aria. Your death or Aria's wouldn't have made any difference to me."

Ryou cried and Bakura grinned.

"Now I can go to Seto's place. My work here is done," Bakura gave Ryou a kick again and Ryou passed out. Aku grinned and assumed Malik's form again.

*******************

Aria jumped out of the car and ran to the door. "I can't wait to show mommy the Duel Monsters cards that Unkie Seto gotted for me! And he saved this card special for me! The Mystical Ferret card!!! It's so cute!"

Aku grinned as he heard the car doors slamming. //I think I'm going to let you handle this, little puppet."

Malik shook his head and gasped, seeing Ryou on the floor. "RYOU! Who did this?"

Malik opened the door. "YAMI! BAKURA! COME IN QUICK!"

Marik and Bakura ran into the house and saw Ryou unconscious on the floor.

Aten and Aria saw Ryou and ran to him.

"Mommy! Mommy! Wake up!"

"Mommy! Mommy! Tay tumeting! Mommy!"

Bakura kneeled beside Ryou and looked up to Marik. "Marik, take them away."

Marik took the kids under each of his arms. Aten growled as his father picked him up, much to Marik's surprise.

"I NO WAN WEAVE MY MOMMY! WET DOE OF ME! MOMMY!"

Aria growled at Marik and squirmed, trying to break his grasp on her. Aten growled at his father and opened his jaws, sinking his teeth into his father's arm deeply.

"WET DOE OF ME, DADDY! NOW!"

"OW! ATEN ISHTAR! NO BITING!"

The kids' door slammed and Bakura carried Ryou to the couch. "Malik, did you see anything?"

"No! I don't know who did this! His jaw is a little swollen!"

Bakura lifted up Ryou's shirt. "His stomach is bruised. I want to find out who did this! When I catch them, I am going to hand them by a tree with their intestines!"

Ryou opened his eyes and looked at Bakura sadly.

"Ryou! Thank Ra you are ok!"

"Yami……..why?"

Bakura kissed Ryou's forehead. "I don't know who did this to you, Ryou, but I am going to find out."

"Just tell me one thing, yami."

"What?"

"Do you regret fathering Aria?"

Bakura looked up at Malik and shook his head. "I love our daughter, Ryou. Why would I regret having her?"

Ryou started to sob. "Do you really wish I was dead?"

"No! Ryou, what is all this about?"

Ryou opened his arms. "Hold me, yami. Please?"

Bakura wrapped his arms around Ryou and stroked his lover's white hair. The yami placed a kiss on Ryou's forehead. "I am nothing without you, Ryou. I love you more than anything. You are my All, my husband, my lover, the father of my child. All the gems and gold in the pharaoh's possession could not buy the love I have for you, my angel."

Ryou buried his face against Bakura and whimpered.

"You are my everything, Ryou."

"Don't let go of me, yami. Please."

//What a touching moment………//
