Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal:- Astral is what?

Chapter 3

Yuma kept on strolling around the streets. he didn't care where he was going as long as he was far away from home. His hands in his pockets and a face that said 'leave me alone'. he just wanted to take his mind of this 'Astral I pregnant' situation.

With no success of course. since his mind kept on screaming 'I cant believe that this is happening. Astral is pregnant!'

Finally he came to a bridge where he leaned his arms over the rail. He signed while he stared at his frowning reaction in the water.

What is he going to do? How is he going to take care of this child? How are his friends and family going to react on this? They will notice that something's wrong. He even didn't know if the child will be ethereal or solid.

"Argh! What am I going to do?" Yuma shouted in frustration while running his hands through his hair.

After a couple mopping a shouting sessions later, Yuma started to feel his anger fade away. Still his heart felt troubled. He needed to unburden his heart, otherwise he will explode.

"But to who? It's not that I can tell just anybody. I need someone who I can trust.... and someone who won't look at me as a freak." Yuma wondered

Then the right person came to his mind. "Of course. Why didn't I think about this before?" Yuma said before running off.

Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong

"Come on, please be home." Yuma muttered.

Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong

suddenly the door opened abruptly, revealing a young girl with green hair. "Yuma! Do you know how annoying it is when you just keep pushing the doorbell? And do you know how late it is?" Kotori said irritated

"Sorry Kotori, But I need to speak to you. Urgently." Yuma said.

Kotori noticed the troubled look on her friend's face. She had never seen his so serious, which worried her. She stepped a couple steps back to let Yuma in.

Both went to her room. Yuma dropped himself in her couch while she seated herself on her bed.

"Okay, what is so urgently?" Kotori asked.

Yuma swallowed. He took a deep breath. "You know that Astral and I are lovers right." Yuma said.

Kotori rolled her eyes. "Of course Yuma. I was the one who had to persuade you to admit it to Astral. Tell me something I don't know."

"Yeah well, a couple weeks ago Astral and I... Euhm.... got very intimate." Yuma stuttered with a red head.

"So you guys kissed. I don't see the problem." Kotori said.

"No, not that intimate. I mean very, vey, VERY intimate. You know, we Euhm....! Yuma tried to explain while he made movements with his hands.

Kotori first looked confused, then her eyes went wide. "Yuma I don't need a metal picture of you guys... doing it. Too much info!" Kotori cried.

"Let me finish Kotori. When I caught a new number today, Astral remembered that also males of his species can carry children. The only thing they need is something that's called essence from each one of the partners." Yuma explained.

Kotori, who got it straightaway, gasped. "Yuma...are you saying that..."

Yuma nodded. "In short: Astral is pregnant."
