When we arrived at the garden Yugi was falling asleep again, I chuckled before we all walked over to the pond and sat down

"Has he fallen asleep again?" Bakura asked, I nodded

"Yeah, come on Yugi wake up now, uncle Marik is going to play ball with you."

"Say what?!" Marik asked, Bakura laughed before looking at me

"Here pass him over and let me try something." He said, I nodded and carefully passed him over before Bakura laid him on his back and began tickling his causing his eyes to fly open and try to struggle out of Bakura`s hold while laughing. I laughed

"Papa!...Me…No…Breath!" I stopped laughing and tapped Bakura on the shoulder causing him to stop. I smiled and picked Yugi up as he reached up for me

"That mean, uncle Ku-a." Yugi asked with his arms crossed and his tongue stuck out at him, I chuckled as did everyone else. Bakura smiled before shrugging

"You wouldn`t wake up, when Papa called you so I thought of an alternative." Bakura explained

"But me no bad." Bakura frowned and scratched the back of his head

"I forgot that was a punishment method." I shook my head

"Bad uncle Ku-a, no meant to fo-get." I chuckled and took the ball out of Yami`s hand before throwing it to Marik who wasn`t watching and was hit in the face with it causing everyone to laugh besides him

"That wasn`t funny." He said while taking the ball into his hand

"Ball!" yugi yelled before jumping out of my grasp and running over to Marik before jumping on him to get the ball

"No, it`s mine now." Marik said before moving Yugi off of him and jumping up before running across the garden with Yugi hot on his trails

"Mine!" Yugi yelled, I laughed

"Well at least he`s awake now."

"And so is Jono." I heard Seth say, I turned my gaze to the entrance way to see him stood there with Jono

"Shouldn`t you still be in bed resting?" Yami asked Jono who shook his head in return

"Nope, my father made healing time shorter so I don`t need to be in bed as much but I don`t need to be stood up all the time." Jono explained before sitting down

"Is there a reason that your father healed you?"

"Yeah, he wanted me to be awake so I could make sure that Grandpa and Mai leave."

"Wait he`s still here? I thought he left." Bakura said

"You would think that would you? But no he`s still here but he should be leaving soon." Jono said before looking over at Yugi who had managed to get onto Marik`s back. I chuckled

"Atem, couldn`t you get Honda to escort The Japanese emperor out?" Bakura asked

"On what grounds? Not that I am trying to stand up for him but I need to have a reason to have him thrown out."

"Kidnapping?" Jono asked

"He didn`t kidnap anyone though Jono."

"Does anyone have any idea hold long he is actually staying for?" Yami asked

"Until my birthday is over." Jono answered and we all looked at him

"When is your birthday Jono?" Seth asked

"Next week."

"Were you just planning on not telling us?" Bakura asked

"It`s not that important."

"Yes it is Jono, besides Yugi would have told us anyway."

"And of course your birthday is important Jono, anybody's is." Seth stated

"Jono!" Yugi called as he jumped onto Jono knocking him backwards

"Oomph! Thanks for that Yugi." Jono said while sitting back up with Yugi hugging him

"It just goes to show how much Yugi missed you." Marik said while walking over and sitting down

"That`s true." Bakura stated

"Hey, where are Malik and Ryou?" Jono asked with Yugi curled up in his lap

"Malik is in the stables." Marik replied

"And Ryou was cleaning my chambers and has probably gone to sleep, he does that a lot." Bakura answered

"Why is Malik in the stables?" Marik shrugged

"He wanted to help out there, I told him he could after he`d finished cleaning my chambers." I nodded before Marik was suddenly attack by Yugi who got the ball before he ran off with it

"Mine!" Yugi yelled

"Oh no you don`t." Marik said before getting to his feet and chasing after him

"My ball!"

"No it`s mine!"

"No mine." I laughed as Yugi came and hide behind me

"Yugi you can`t hide behind your papa, he won`t help you."

"Who says I won`t Marik?"

"I do."

"Papa help?" I chuckled

"Enough now Marik he`s awake."

"But I want the ball." He complained

"Stop acting like a child." Bakura ordered

"I`m not." We laughed

"Papa play ball with me?" Yugi asked, I smiled down at him before taking the ball and standing up

"Alright, I`ll play Yugi."
