Here's the next chapter.

Sorry that it took me so long to update this story. I'm hoping to update this one a little faster than I have been.

Enjoy!


Chapter 21- Home Again

Yami, Yugi, Seto, and Mokuba were all on the KaibaCorp private jet, getting ready to head home.

"Why so glum, Mokuba?" Yugi asked.

"I wish we didn't have to leave. Hawaii is so much fun." Mokuba said.

Seto rolled his eyes. "Mokuba, you say that about every place we go to for a vacation." Seto said.

Mokuba shrugged. "It's the truth." Mokuba said.

Seto shook his head. "All right. Hand it over." Seto said.

All three were confused.

"What are you talking about, Set?" Yami asked.

"Mokuba, give me my laptop back. You said that when the vacation was over, you would give me my laptop back, now hand it over." Seto said.

"Geez. You remember everything when it comes to the company." Mokuba said. He went and easily found Seto's laptop, giving it to him.

"Thank you." Seto said. He immediately got the laptop out of the case and turned it on.

"And he immediately gets on it." Yami said.

"I have gone two weeks without seeing how the company was doing. I need to see what's gone on since I left." Seto said.

"I'm sure that everything is fine." Yugi said.

Mokuba shook his head. "Seto is such a workaholic." Mokuba said.

"Well, I did as you wanted, and I didn't do any work on the vacation. The vacation is now over, so I can go back to working." Seto said calmly.

"He is right, Mokuba." Yugi said.

"Yeah. Yeah." Mokuba said.

Yami leaned back in his seat. "We might as well get comfortable. We have a long flight ahead of us." Yami said.

"Well, we do have our Duel Monsters cards. We could always play a few games." Yugi said.

"HELL NO!" Mokuba shouted suddenly.

"Language, Mokuba!" Seto barked.

"Uh-uh. You aren't playing it." Mokuba said.

"Why not?" Yugi asked, confused.

"You aren't playing strip Duel Monsters on the plane." Mokuba said, turning red.

Yami rolled his eyes. "Please, Mokuba. We have more decency than to do that on a plane." Yami said.

Mokuba just starred at him. "Yami, you and Seto did it before!" Mokuba exclaimed.

"Okay. Yugi has more decency than to do that on a plane." Yami corrected himself.

"And you weren't on the plane at the time." Seto added.

"Not the point!" Mokuba said.

"How does he know about that in the first place?" Yugi asked, still red.

"Mokuba walked in on me and Seto playing it in the bedroom at the mansion one time." Yami explained.

"Talk about being scarred for life." Mokuba muttered.

"Um, why wasn't the door locked?" Yugi asked.

"Because they forgot to lock it." Mokuba said.

Seto rolled his eyes. "You weren't supposed to home for three more hours." Seto said.

"We did start locking the door after that." Yami said.

"And I started knocking." Mokuba added.

"That's a relief." Yugi said.

"As long as it's regular Duel monsters, go ahead." Mokuba said.

"It will be." Yugi said.

Yami and Seto glanced at each other smirked.

"Um, Yugi." Mokuba said.

"What?" Yugi asked.

"At home, it'll never be regular Duel Monsters with those two." Mokuba said.

Yugi sighed. "I know." Yugi said, knowing how his lovers could be.

"Come on, Aibou. Let's play a game." Yami said.

"All right." Yugi agreed.

The two started playing a game of Duel Monsters with Mokuba watching them while Seto did some work from his laptop.


"I am so bored!" Marik whined.

Malik and Ryou both groaned.

"Marik, for the last time, suck it up and deal with it!" Malik snapped.

"But there's nothing for me t do." Marik whined.

The three were at the Game Shop, running it for Yugi while he was gone.

"Marik, I know that we haven't had a lot of customers today, but try and make the best of it." Ryou said.

Marik sat on a stool and pouted.

"Oh, quit pouting. It won't make the time go by any faster." Malik said, irritated.

Marik smirked. "I know what could make the time go by faster." Marik said.

"No! Marik, we aren't doing anything here. A customer could walk in at any time." Ryou protested.

"I'm with Ryou on this one, Marik. Nothing like that." Malik said firmly.

Marik groaned as he dropped his head onto the countertop. "You two are killing me!" Marik whined.

Malik had had enough. "Marik, either make the best of the situation, or I swear that I will send you to the museum to help Ishizu until Ryou and I close the shop at six." Malik said.

Marik looked horrified. "But that's five hours!" Marik cried, not sure if he could handle being apart from his lovers for that long.

"Then deal with it." Malik growled.

Marik crossed his arms and pouted.

Ryou sighed. "Marik, why don't you leave the shop and get some fresh air." Ryou suggested.

Marik brightened. "Great idea" Marik exclaimed before jumping up and bounding out of the shop.

Malik turned to him. "Why did you do that?" Malik asked.

Ryou smiled. "Because Marik hates being cooped up, and it'll give us a break from him. It's better than him driving us crazy with all that whining." Ryou said.

"Great idea. I remember why I love you now. You keep me from killing Marik." Malik said, kissing Ryou.

Ryou blushed. "Let's concentrate on work." Ryou said.

"Sure thing." Malik agreed.


Marik was wandering around the city. 'I'm glad to be out of there.' Marik thought. He knew that he would have to make it up to his lovers for acting the way he did. He just couldn't stand being cooped up like that all the time, especially when there was nothing for him to do.

Marik decided to go look around and see if there was anything that he could buy for Ryou and Malik to make up for how he was acting.

As Marik was walking, he bumped into someone. "Sorry." Marik said. He then noticed whom it was he had bumped into, and he changed his attitude. "What are you doing here?" Marik growled.

Bakura glared at Marik. "It's a free county. I can be where ever I please." Bakura snapped.

"Yeah. You just better watch it." Marik said. He then started to leave.

"You might want to stop trying to threaten me, Marik." Bakura said.

Marik turned to glare at him. "What are you going to do? You don't have your Shadow magic. None of us do. It was taken from us when we decided to stay here." Marik said.

Bakura glared. "I can do other things." Bakura said.

"And you'll be dead if you even try." Marik said. He turned and intended to walk away before he ended up doing something that he regretted.

"Hey. Where's Yugi at?" Bakura asked.

Marik turned and glared. "If you think that I would tell you where Yugi is after everything you have put him through, then you have another thing coming. I won't tell you for anything. Just leave Yugi alone. You have a whole pile of people after you for what you pulled, so just leave him alone and let him live his life." Marik said before he walked off.

'I hate him.' Marik thought bitterly.

Deciding to put his encounter with Bakura behind him, Marik went back to looking for something for his lovers.


"I attack with Buster Blader, and that'll wipe out your life points." Yugi said.

Yami groaned. "You beat me again." Yami said.

Yugi smiled. "Well, I did defeat back in the Ceremonial Duel." Yugi said.

"Yeah, but I've beaten you before even after that." Yami said.

"Well, if you'd stop letting yourself get distracted, you might win." Mokuba said.

Yami shrugged. "I can't help it that I get distracted by him. Hr's too cute." Yami said.

Yugi blushed at that. "Will you stop that?" Yugi asked.

"Well, you are cute, Yugi." Seto said.

Yugi groaned. "I am never going to get you two to stop calling me cute, am I?" Yugi asked.

"Nope." Yami and Seto said at the same time.

Yugi groaned.

Mokuba laughed. "I take it that Yugi's going to be blushing a lot." Mokuba said.

"If we have anything to say about it, he will." Yami said.

Mokuba then realized something. "Hey. Since Yugi's dating you two now, does that mean that Yugi's going to be living in the mansion permanently now?" Mokuba asked.

Seto, Yami, and Yugi looked at each other.

"You know, we hadn't actually discussed that yet, Mokuba." Seto said.

"Well, I have been living there for several months now, so I don't see why I shouldn't go ahead and live there." Yugi admitted.

"Then it's settled. Yugi is going to be living with us permanently now." Seto said.

"Wow. That was a fast decision." Mokuba said.

"Sure was." Yugi agreed.

"Although I believe that you're going to be moving into the master suite with me and Yami. There's more than enough room for the three of us." Seto said.

"We already know that." Yami said.

"How?" Mokuba asked.

All three turned to look at Mokuba.

"What do you mean?" Yugi asked.

"How do you know that you can all fit? I mean, you guys didn't start dating Yugi until we were on this vacation, so how do you know?" Mokuba asked.

"Well, right after I lost the baby, there was a few nights they'd let me stay in their room with them since I was so upset. That's how we know." Yugi said.

"Besides, with just me and Seto in the bed, about three or four more people could sleep in that bed. Three of us won't be a problem." Yami said.

"Seto, please use the soundproofing. Please." Mokuba said, begging,

"Soundproofing?" Yugi asked.

"I had the room soundproofed after Yami started living with us. All we have to do is hit a button, and no one outside the room will be able to hear us." Seto said.

"They've forgotten to use it before." Mokuba said, shuddering at the memory.

Yugi smiled. "Well, I'll try to make sure that they remember." Yugi said.

"Thank you." Mokuba said.

"We'll see." Seto said with a smirk.

Mokuba covered his face. "I'm doomed." Mokuba said.

Yugi swatted at Seto. "Stop torturing him. I wouldn't have though that you would want your younger brother to listen to you having sex with your boyfriends." Yugi said.

"I don't. I just don't think about the soundproofing for the obvious reason." Seto replied.

Mokuba turned to Yugi. "Yugi, please make him use the soundproofing! I've been scarred enough from listening to him and Yami! Please!" Mokuba begged, holding onto Yugi's arm.

"I will, Mokuba. I promise." Yugi said.

"All right. How about another game, Yugi?" Yami asked.

"Why not? We have a long flight." Yugi said.

The two then started to play another game of Duel Monsters.


Marik returned to the shop. He found that there were a few customers that Ryou and Malik were helping. Marik just stayed to the side and let Malik and Ryou do what they needed to do.

It wasn't long before the customer bought what they wanted to and left.

"So, has business picked up much?" Marik asked.

"Not much. It's been boring today." Malik said.

"Come on, guys. Not every day is going to be busy. Not like it was right before Christmas." Ryou said.

"We know, Ryou." Malik said.

"Well, I have something for you, too." Marik said. He then handed each of them a bag.

"What's this?" Ryou asked.

"I know that I've been hard to get along with today, so I got these as a way of saying I'm sorry." Marik explained.

"Marik, we understand. You didn't have to do this." Ryou said.

"I wanted to, though." Marik said.

Malik took a box out of a bag and opened it up. "Hey! This is an Egyptian dagger!" Malik exclaimed, taking the dagger out.

"Yeah. I saw it in an antique shop." Marik said.

"This is great." Malik said, looking at the craftsmanship of the hilt.

Ryou took out something from his bag and saw that it was a brown box. He opened the box to find that there were a bunch of different spices in it. "Spices for cooking!" Ryou exclaimed.

"Yeah. I know you like your spices." Marik said.

"Thanks. I can really use these." Ryou said.

"Well, I think it goes without saying that we forgive you." Malik said, leaning forward and kissing Marik.

"Same here." Ryou said, also kissing Marik.

"I'm glad to hear that." Marik said. He then turned serious. "I ran into Bakura today." Marik said.

Malik growled. "What did that bastard want?" Malik asked.

"I bumped into him actually. The only real thin he asked was where Yugi was." Marik said.

"You didn't tell him, did you?" Ryou asked worriedly.

"Of course not. I'm not going to tell him anything that has to do with Yugi." Marik said.

"At least he doesn't have his Shadow magic. He can't use that to hurt Yugi." Ryou said.

"I know. I just wish Marik or Yami had it so that they could hurt him." Malik said.

"It doesn't matter. Since Yugi is such god friends with Seto, I would say that we don't have anything to worry about. Seto can cause a lot of trouble for Bakura is he wanted to." Marik said.

"And I'm sure he will." Malik said.


Yugi had fallen asleep on one of the couches that were in the jet, and Mokuba had fallen asleep right beside him.

"Don't they look cute?" Yami asked.

Seto looked up and over at them. "Yeah. They do." Seto agreed before looking back at his laptop.

Yami shook his head. "Can't you get your nose out of that laptop for two seconds?" Yami asked.

"For your information, I'm doing something for Yugi." Seto said.

"What's that?" Yami asked, intrigued.

"I'm finding a way to make sure that Bakura won't mess with him. When Bakura finds out that Yugi's dating us, we both know that Bakura's going to try and hurt Yugi just to get to get to you." Seto explained.

Yami growled. "I wish that Bakura would just a get a life. If he wants to come after me, fine. I just wish that he wouldn't use Yugi to do it. Yugi doesn't have anything to do with this. He doesn't deserve to suffer just because Bakura wants revenge on me for something that he thinks I did." Yami said.

"Well, Bakura doesn't see it like that. He knows that you're hurt when Yugi's hurt." Seto said.

"How are you going to make sure that Bakura doesn't hurt him again?" Yami asked.

"Let's just say that I have some connections that are all too happy to help." Seto said.

Yami raised an eyebrow, indicating that he wanted to know more.

"Bakura's made a lot of enemies since he got his body. There's a lot of people that would like to help Bakura get what he deserves." Seto said.

"Good." Yami said. He looked over at Yugi. "Yugi deserves to be happy." Yami said.

"I agree. I'll just make sure that none of us can be linked to it." Seto said.

Yami nodded.

Seto reached over and wrapped an arm around Yami. "Don't worry. We're going to deal with him and make sure that he can't hurt Yugi again." Seto said.

"I know. I just want this to be over with." Yami said.

"So do I. Once we make sure that Bakura can't bother us again, we'll all be able to live happier." Seto said.

"I'll enjoy that." Yami said.

"So will I." Seto said.


The KaibaCorp jet landed at the airplane the following morning.

Yugi, Yami, and Mokuba were all woken up by Seto. All three stretched as they got up.

"Man. I'll be glad to get off this plane." Yami said.

"Then get up, Yami. We've landed at the airport. We can head home now." Seto said.

"Great. I can go home and sleep in my own bed." Mokuba said.

All four got off of the plane to find that the limo was already there.

"Come on." Seto said.

The four piled into the limo before the limo left.

"They'll bring our luggage to the mansion later." Seto said.

It wasn't too long before they arrived back at the mansion.

"Thank goodness." Mokuba said. He ran up the steps and into the house.

"Someone's happy to be home." Seto muttered.

"You can't blame him. We have been gone for a little over two weeks." Yami said.

"I know." Seto said.

The three walked into the house.

"Welcome home, Mr. Kaiba." Roland said.

"Thank you, Roland. I don't want to be disturbed today." Seto said.

"Of course." Roland said.

Yugi, Yami, and Seto all headed upstairs.

"I'm going to sleep most of the day." Yugi said.

"Right behind you." Yami said.

Yugi started to head back to the room that he had been staying in for the last few months.

Seto reached out and grabbed Yugi by the wrist. "Yugi, you're staying on our bedroom now. We'll move your stuff later." Seto said.

"Oh. Right." Yugi said.

The three walked in to the master bedroom.

"Home sweet home." Yami said.

All three walked over to the bed.

Yugi and Yami didn't bother taking off their shoes. Both just collapsed on the bed side by side.

Seto took the time to take off his shoes before he climbed into bed as well. He noticed that Yugi and Yami were already asleep. Seto smiled. 'These two belong to me. No one else is going to be privy to this sight.' Seto thought. He then lie down beside the two and soon fell asleep as well.


~Egypt~

Heba walked out of the bathroom, holding his stomach.

"You okay?" Atemu asked.

"Fantastic." Heba replied. He walked over and collapsed onto the bed. "I hate morning sickness." Heba said.

"It's at night." Atemu said.

"I know." Heba said. He turned to face Atemu. "Why do they call it morning sickness? It lasts all day!" Heba exclaimed.

Atemu smiled at him. "Don't worry, Heba. Like my mother said, it won't last the entire pregnancy. Just a few months." Atemu said.

"I think that a few months will kill me." Heba said.

Atemu put the book that he had been reading down before he reached over and pulled Heba into his arms. "Don't worry, Heba. I'll be here with you through it all." Atemu said.

"Thanks." Heba said.

"We'll be heading back to Japan in a few weeks. I'm sure you're anxious to see your brother." Atemu said.

"You can say that again. I really want to tell him that he's going to be an uncle." Heba said.

"I'm sure that's the only reason you want to see him." Atemu said.

Heba looked up at Atemu. "What is that supposed to mean?" Heba asked.

"Come on, Heba. I know that you are dying to get Yugi to tell you everything about his relationship with Seto and Yami." Atemu said.

Heba smiled. "There is that, too." Heba said. He thought a moment before he said, "Aren't you curious about how it's going?"

"I really don't care. As long as Yami and Seto treat Yugi right, I honestly couldn't care less." Atemu said.

"Right. I'm sure you won't be bombarding Yami and Seto with questions the moment that you see them." Heba said.

Atemu shrugged. He glanced at the clock and said, "Come on. We'd better go downstairs. My parents wanted us to go out to eat tonight."

Heba groaned. "Don't mention food or eating. I don't know if my stomach can handle it." Heba said.

"Grin and bear it." Atemu said.

"I'll try." Heba said.

"Come on." Atemu said.

The two got up and headed downstairs.


~Japan~

After getting up, Seto had gone to his office to do some work since he had missed a great deal of it during the vacation.

Yugi and Yami decided to head over to the Game Shop.

"Yug! Yams! Glad to see ya!" Joey said.

Joey and Tristan were manning the shop at the time.

"Hey, guys. How's it going?" Yugi asked.

"Yugi, next time you guys decide to go on vacation, please try and be here when the Christmas shopping rush comes in." Tristan said.

"No kidding. Talk about a nightmare." Joey added.

Yugi laughed. "Trust me. I helped Grandpa enough to know what that's like." Yugi said.

"Just be here when it hits from now on." Joey said.

"Sure thing, Joey." Yugi said.

Tristan noticed that Yami had his arm around Yugi's waist. "Hey, Yami. What's going on? Why do you have your arm around Yugi's waist?" Tristan asked.

"Oh." Yugi said, blushing.

Yami shrugged. "Seto and I told Yugi how we felt while we were gone, so Yugi, Seto, and I are all together now." Yami said.

"All of you?" Joey asked.

Yugi nodded.

"That's great! I'm glad you guys finally told him." Joey said.

"Hold on. You knew?" Yugi asked.

"Yeah. We knew how Seto and Yami felt about ya. Just glad that they finally told ya." Joey said.

"You guys are okay with this?" Yugi asked.

"I may not like moneybags that much, but if it makes ya happy to be with 'im, then go ahead. We tolerate each other enough." Joey said.

"Thanks, Joey." Yugi said.

"No problem." Joey said.

"How was the trip?" Tristan asked.

"It was real fun." Yugi said.

"Yeah. We all needed the rest." Yami added.

"How did you get moneybags to stay off the laptop? We all know that he can't keep his mind off of that company for very long." Joey said.

Yami laughed. "Simple. Mokuba and I stole Seto's laptop, and Mokuba kept it hidden from him. He told Seto that he wouldn't give it back until after we left. Seto made Mokuba give him the laptop back when we were on the plane heading back." Yami said.

"Wow. That was smooth." Joey said.

"Mokuba's good when it comes to things like that." Yami said.

"Anything happen while we were gone?" Yami asked.

"Not really. Things were pretty boring here." Joey said.

"That's good." Yugi said.

"Yep." Tristan agreed.

Yami pulled Joey aside. "Joey, did Bakura cause any kind of trouble?" Yami asked.

"No. I did talk to Ryou yesterday, and he said that Marik ran into Bakura while Ryou and Malik were running the shop yesterday." Joey said.

"What happened?" Yami asked.

"Not much. Bakura did want to know where Yugi was, but Marik wouldn't tell him." Joey said.

Yami growled lowly. "When is going to give up?" Yami asked.

"I don't know, but you and Seto might want to stick close to Yugi." Joey said.

"We will. We're not letting anything happen to Yugi." Yami said.

"That's good to hear." Joey said.

"Don't worry. Yugi's going to be living permanently at the mansion now, so he'll be fine." Yami said.

Joey nodded. "Just keep an eye on him." Joey said.

"We will." Yami said.

The two then rejoined Yugi and Tristan, who were talking.

"Why don't you two go on? Yami and I can watch the shop." Yugi said.

"Yugi, you just got back in today. Don't worry about it. You two can start watching the shop again tomorrow." Joey said.

"You sure?" Yami asked.

"Yeah. Go on." Tristan said.

Yugi and Yami nodded before they left.


Back at the house, Seto walked out of his office. He searched the house and couldn't find Yugi and Yami at all.

"Roland, where are Yugi and Yami at?" Seto asked.

"Not left a few hours ago. I do not know what they were planning to do." Roland said.

"Thank you.' Seto said before he walked off. 'Where could they have been going?' Seto asked himself.

A few moments later, Yugi and Yami walked into the house.

"Oh! Hi, Seto." Yugi said.

"Where were you two at?" Seto asked.

"We went to check on the Game Shop and see how things went." Yugi said.

"Who was there?" Seto asked.

"Joey and Tristan were watching the shop. They said that everything had been fine. No problems." Yami said.

"Well, at least there were no problems." Seto said.

"We thought that, too." Yugi said.

"Is everything all right with the company?" Yami asked.

"Of course. I just wanted to get a jump start on the work that's piled up." Seto said.

"Well, is Mokuba here?" Yugi asked.

"No. He went out with some friends." Seto answered. He caught Yami's eyes, who immediately understood.

"You know, since we are alone in the house, I think this is the perfect opportunity for some alone time." Yami said.

"I agree." Seto said.

"Um, guys." Yugi started.

Before Yugi could do anything, Seto had swept him up in his arms and headed up the stairs with Yami behind him.

It was a while before they were seen again.


Hope you liked it.

Next: Probably Atemu and Heba returning to Japan. I might have Yugi and the others meet Atemu's parents, too. Not sure. Yugi will find out Heba's pregnant, though.

R&R.
