Welcome to Gaia! ::

[[Um.... I'm not too sure about Ishizu dying. Perhaps she catches them, gets really pissed and basically tells him it's done. She can be like 'I don't want your money, but I'm taking MY son (or daughter)' and that really affects Seto cause that was the reason he did everything. She can move back to Egypt with the baby. How would that sound? I think Seto would be really attached to the baby too once he sees him/her (I'm leaning more toward a son). Also, he could walk around and find Joey after the baby is born and Ishizu is resting and the baby is in the nursery

Yea, I like the fight with Joey too now. Oooo, that would be good too. They should come over for Joey's bday- that way he invites both Atem and Yugi (cause he's so oblivious). Yea yea! His lovers come over because maybe he mentioned his bday and turned them down for hanging out. And they come over all pissy and Sam finds out. Atem finds out and just starts wailing on him O_O. Joey can leave and have the other 'lovers' follow behind him and continue to beat him up- that's how he ends up in the hospital?

Since I guess Sam and Atem would start to make up there instead of in a tournament in America, Atem could give Yugi his tickett to america so he could find Akiko. Maybe he's just inspired by Sam and Atem's get back together.

Yay ideas! XD]]

Akiko looked away from him, hating all the things that came out of his mouth. She shouldn't have to move on- Yugi was her love. "I should go...." she said as she stood up with her head down. "I'm going back home......" she said feeling like she was going to choke on the words. She really was going home- she'll be going back to the states. She walked past Seto and out the door without saying good bye. She wasn't herself, she felt broken inside. She wasn't sure what was worse now, the fact she was moving back, or Yugi's reaction. She really though he would have a solution. He didn't, she didn't. She couldn't think straight. And why did it hurt so bad? Sure they were going out for about a month or so, not that long. But she felt she was losing somebody she new for ages.

"What do you want?" he said a bit seriously. He didn't know who this guy was, he wasn't looking for trouble.

"You chill man, I just wanted to say- why you chillin at a place like that?" he said as he went into his pocket and pulled out a card. "Now THIS place is the place to go. You'd really like it," he said handing it to him. Joey looked at the card. It was a club for gays- upbeat from the looks of the card. "You kinda cute, I'd like to see you at the club ok? It's only for gay men, so ah.... yea, no women and no lesbians," he said looking over at Sam. He didn't think she was a lesbian, but he was hanging out with her. They probably had to just be friends or something.

Joey slipped the card in his pocket. "Yea sure.... I'll think about it," he said kinda weary. He didn't want Sam to know- afterall they were supposed to be with one another. "Thanks, ah..... I'll see you later," he said walking away from him and back over to Sam. "Hey there," he said smiling so she wouldn't think nothing about the guy.

Atem stopped to think for a moment. He'd been thinking about Sam, so why didn't he suggest it? "Yugi, did you check Seto's house? Did she go to see Sam?" he asked. He had no idea that Sam had gotten her own house. "Did she go to talk to her?" he asked again feeling he had the right idea. Even though he thought he had the right idea, he felt crummy- if she was there she would have to see Sam again. He wanted to see Sam, but not now- not the way she looked at him now.

((hmmm idk i dont really want Seto to lose his son, (so we want it to be a son right?) but if he does then he can always go to Joey for comfort. then maybe he can try to get shared custody or something and Ishizu can say they can have shared cutody if Joey stays away from Seto and the baby or something like that to put them through something else))

((When we skip ahead are we skipping to the day of Joey's birthday?))

"Take a limo." Seto said, pressing a button next to the intercom and a limo pulled up within seconds. It was the least he could do just to make sure nothing happened to her on the way home from his house. Seto sighed. Maybe he was harsh but he felt that he was right. He ran a hand through his hair and walked back into the livingroom, sitting down on the sofa. He looked at the wedding stuff. This was really happening. And it was moving fast. Isnt that what he wanted? To get a family as fast as he could? He would have prefferred to wait a few years if he thought about it but he knew he needed it to stop him from running back to Joey.

Sam was splashing Pharaoh as the puppy ran around and barked at her playfully. She giggled a little but it soon stopped as she felt miserable again. She just sat there, crossed her legs and waited for Joey to come back. Pharaoh looked at her and sat down, tilting his head, confused about why she wouldnt play anymore. She looked up when Joey came back. "What was that about? Who was that guy?" She asked imidately, curious.

"Seto's?" Yugi said confused, angrily thinking why she would go see Seto. He was he ex after all. "Oh, Sam." He said when Atem finished. "Yeah she probably did!" He quickened his pace as they made there way over to the Kaiba mansion. It seemed like only yesterday they would all come over and have fun. He knocked on the door eagerly, fidgeting anxiously.

Seto heard a knock on the door. He thought it would be Ishizu or maybe Akiko again. He was surprised when he opened it to see yugi. "What?" He said bluntly, narrowing his eyes.

"Is Akiko here? We thought maybe she came to see Sam..." He explained, glancing behind Kaiba to see if he could see her.

"Sam doesnt live here anymore. Anyway, you just missed her. She said she was going home. She told me what was going on. I told her to leave you." He said.

Yugi clenched his fists. "What?" Not only did they just miss her but Kaiba told her to leave him? Would she listen to him? When she said home where did she mean? Her house or the US? He sighed, feeling defeated as he looked down at the ground, his eyes welling with tears as his shoulders shook.

seto shot a glare at Atem. "Dont you question me after what you did!" He growled at him. He had always wanted Sam to break up with Atem. But he didnt want her to run right into Joey's arms! It drove him crazy just thinking about what they could be doing! he wanted to go try and break them up like he did with Sam and Atem but he didnt want to see Joey or prove that he was jealous. "You hurt my sister!" he said instead of mentioning she was with Joey. He couldnt even say his name. He looked back at yugi. "Its the obvious choice, she cant fight her parent's decision. Youre just making it harder on her!" he said.

Yugi looked up, rubbing his tears on his sleeve. He thought about what Kaiba said. Was she really better off? Was he just making this worse for her? But he loved her. He never wanted to be apart from her. He couldnt imagine his life without her. And now she was leaving him. Was he supposed to support her? he couldnt hide how upset he was.

"Oh..." She said, believeing him. Sam nodded. "Yeah." She said, not really expressing any emotion. After seeing Atem she just felt horrible again. "Come Pharaoh." She said. This pup really needed some training. She needed something to busy herself with so that could be one thing. And dueling of course. Ever since she lost to Atem she's done nothing but worked on her deck. She got up and headed back.

((ok))

((i am so tiered so i wont post tonight if you want to start the timeskip now and post, either way i'll post tomorrow goodnight))

((so drama huh? what happened? More with that kid?))

----a little over one year later...(cant be exactly or else it would have been Joey's birthday before sweatdrop )-----

Sam woke up besides Joey in thier bed. She didnt remember hearing him come in. Joey's been going out a lot lately. She didnt question him. She reamined blissfully unaware. She cuddled up to him. She barely thought about Atem these days. She has been with Joey for over a year now. They didnt celebrate their aniversary. Neither mentioned it. Because it wasnt an aniversery of two people falling in love. it was an anniversary of two people losing their real loves and turning to each other. She couldnt ever let go of Joey though. She needed him. She leaned up and kissed his neck. "Happy Birthday baby." She greeted slowly, still half asleep herself. "What are we doing tonight?" She asked, moving to lay on top of him. She layed her head on his chest and closed her eyes, listening to his heartbeat. He hadnt said anything about his birthday. She still got him a present but she didnt know he had invited anyone over. She hadnt hung out with any of her friends since the tournament. She'd get a call now and then from Akiko but she wouldnt be nice. She was surprised the girl still called her. They would just talk about how much they hated men. She guessed thats what they needed each other for, venting. They always used to vent and get advice and just have fun with one another. It was har to understand that her friendships with everyone died when she and Atem broke up. Joey still talked to Yugi and them but Sam didnt go with him.

Anyone who knew Yugi but not that well would assume that he had ben perfectly fine for the past year. He tried to be cheerfull and pretend like he was okay. He didnt want to make people worry. But he hasnt felt like himself since Akiko left. He never got to apaologize to her or anything. He never got her new address either. He could call her but, he was afraid. He felt like sucha coward. First he ran and now he wont do anything about it. He was already up and in the kitchen. He was always busying himself around the house now, not wanting to sit down and have to think. So now he was up early, making his grandfather and Atem breakfast. He made eggs, bacon, sausage. He just had to keep himself busy. Then after this he had to go to the store and later get ready to go to Joey's for his birthday. Durring the week Yugi worked at the game shop. Atem was always going to torunaments so between that and the shop they had pleanty of spending money. He had still stayed close with Atem and Joey and he was thankful for that. But not a day went by that he didnt think about Akiko or what would life be like if he hadnt run away from her or if she hadnt moved. She could have lived with them, why hadnt he thought of it. Well it was too late now. He knew he would never see her again.

Seto was in his home office. He had to work from home lately because Ishizu was nine months pregnant already and could go into labor at any moment. Theyve been married for eleven months too. Seto made sure everything happened fast and just like he thought would happen, he moved on with his life. He hadnt been in a dueling tournament since he got together with Ishizu so he wouldnt ever see Joey again. Even though Joey was with Sam he made sure to never see him. Sam was to keep her family and he boyfriend seperate. Just the thought of Joey with Sam still got on his nerves but he just didnt think about it anymore. He was a normal married man. Well not exactly. He was extreamly tense lately with the lack of sex, especially since the sex wasnt as good as it used to be and he had a baby on the way. He had worked late last night and fell asleep right in his chair. Despite Joey being the love of his life he had learned to like Ishizu. He had grown attatched to her. Maybe he didnt love her but she was going to be the mother of his child.

Sam tensed up imediately when Joey said that he had invited Yugi and Atem over. "What? here?" She said, sounding a bit panicked. She didnt want to see Atem, she didnt want her old emotions to wake up so she'll be depressed again. "b-but..." She sat up and looked down at him. "Why didnt you tell me?" she asked irritatedly. "I just wanted it to be the two of us." She said. She really didnt care what he did for his brithday but she would do anything for him if he just told them not to come over.

Yugi cleaned off the table and set down plates for him and his grandfather. Atem didnt really like to eat with them so he brought him his breakfast out in the livingroom. "Here Atem." He said, trying to sound cheerfull. He wished his friend would at least act happy, like he used to. No one had fun anymore. "did you get Joey a gift?" He asked, assuming he didnt. Atem didnt seem to pay attention to anything but dueling anymore.

Seto yawned and nodded. "Yeah... I want to make sure I have pleanty of work done before the baby comes so I dont have to do as much after." he explained. "No i'm fine..." He responded when she offered to get him anything. He got up to greet her. He walked over and placed a hand on her stomach, kissing her gently. He looked down at her belly and chuckled. He couldnt believe he was going to be a father. "Youre huge." he teased, rubbing her stomach. Even though her stomach was big and round she didnt gain much weight anywhere else. Well besides her breasts. Which would be nice if he really liked boobs, but he would much prefer a nice d**k. He looked at gay porn a lot to help him have sex with his wife but he had never cheated or even let the thought cross his mind.

((Another crazy chick? too much drama))

"N-no. Why would I be mad." She said, still sounding quite irritated. Just thinking of Atem made her feel needy and she pushed Joey back, locking their lips. She always loved having wake up sex with Atem. Her and Joey didnt do that so much since he liked to sleep in most days since he was out late. "Are you sure you dont want to go out somewhere with them?" She asked after the kiss, hoping she could get him to take them somewhere else.

"Oh, yeah I'm sure he'll like that. So we'll head over later for dinner. Do you want me to wrap it for you?" He asked, wanting to have more to do. He probably only made Atem's sluggishness worse since he volunteered to do everything for him. Had he not had a gift prepared he would have went out and bought something. He looked over his shoulder as his Grandpa returned. "Grandpa! Good Morning. Your breakfast is on the table." He said. He felt like if he was always pleasent to be around, didnt make any problems and did everything for everyone, no one would leave him again.

Seto may not seem like the fatherly type, but the truth was that he loved kids. Thats why he made games and theme parks. He wanted to make kids happy. He loved Mokuba more then anything because of his childlike innocence. He wanted this baby more then anything. And thought he wouldnt say anything, he really wanted a son. he would be just as happy with a daughter though. Seto smiled when he felt the kick. He chuckled. "Have you picked out any names? Its almost time..." He said excitedly. She could give birth any day now.

Sam sighed, giving up. Joey just didnt get it. Would it be rude to him if she left before they got here. Well of course, its his birthday. He asked for a birthday kiss and sam forced a smile, giving him a nice long kiss. But it didnt feel right. If it were Atem the kiss would have blown their minds but with Joey she felt like it was too much. She flet like just giving him a friendly smooch, not a lovers kiss. She normaly loved to cuddle with Joey. It made her feel better but after thinking about Atem she just wasnt in the mood. She pulled back and got off the bed. "I'm going to take a shower." She said. She would have to look really good tonight too, she couldnt look ugly or anything with Atem comming over. That made her feel bad. It was like she wanted to cheat on Joey. NAd god knows she would throw herself back at Atem right in front of Joey if he would take her. But she didnt think he loved her or ever did.

"Well Joey asked us the other day. You didnt say anything..." Yugi said cautiously. It was a strange reaction. It was his friends birthday. Then he realized Sam would probably be there. He hadnt thought of that. He hadnt seen her in a while. He wondered for a moment if she was still friends with Akiko. They were close. It would make him upset if he knew they did still talk. he would feel even more pain. He would realize that it was really all his fault for running away. At the very least they could have still stayed friends but he messed everything up. He moved back intot he kitchen and sat at the table and begain to eat. he couldnt take the silence though. he never could anymore. When everything else was silent he heard her cries and his thoughts yelled at him. It was like he had a ghost haunting his mind. And this one was much worst then Atem and metaphorical.

"I'm no good at those kind of things... but I'll give it some thought." He said. he would love to name his son but eith things that were so permanent and needed to have good menaing, he wasnt sure he could pick the right name. He would try to come up with soemthing good though. "Did you need anything? You should be resting." He said seriously. He didnt want there to be any problems.

Sam was undressing in the bathroom when she heard her cell phone ring. She went back to her room and grabbed it from the charger. She saw it was Akiko calling. Did she remember Joey's birthday or did she just need to vent? Sam didnt have a job or any friends so she actually enjoyed her calls from Akiko but she acted like she didnt. "Hello?" She answered irritatedly. "Are you ok? It is morning you know. Some people like to sleep in." That was basically Sam's way of immediately asking her if anythign was wrong. She really was worried about the girl but her own problems got in the way of her feeling any sympathy.
