Serin: that was dirty pool Hotaru. Anyway on with the story, I guess.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Bakura had heard this interesting tidbit of information and was now banging Yami's head into the wall.

"How *bang* could you *bang* do this *bang* to me *Bang, Bang, Bang*" he yelled. Yami fell to the ground then pulled Bakura's left leg out from under him, sending him to the ground.

"You seduced me" Yami snapped. Ryou had gotten out of the way of his angry Yami and ran to the phone.

"Hello Yugi? Yes about your Yami..."

"Do you know where he is? He didn't come home last night" Yugi said in a stressed voice. Ryou couldn't help but 'yeah he did, just not the right home.'

"He's over here and you might want to come pick him up before...Bakura put the knife down! Damn it! Yugi come pick up your Yami before he isn't alive to pick up." Ryou hung up the phone and tried his best glare on his Yami. Bakura was caressing the knife and glowering at Yami, looking for a soft skin point to stab him in.

"What's Marik going to say" he wondered aloud.

"Marik? I thought he and his Hikari were..." Yami said.

"Love Square" Ryou muttered. Although technically it was only a triangle, Ryou was a part of all that. He was the innocent. And depending on how his Yami Faired in shadow duels he got to be Malik's slave, Marik's slave, or Bakura's punching bag/slave. Ryou had it rough but he still loved.

"Whatever" Yami muttered as he got up. Bakura gave Ryou a murderous glare but that halted as Ryou handed him a flyer.

"MARRIAGE COUNSELING?!!!" Bakura Yelled.

"Yami, your stuck because by law you have to have a trial period of one year. The best you can do is act well adjusted until this is over." Ryou said calmly. Internally he loved this. The panic and shock in Bakura's eyes was priceless.

"I'll kill him, and then I won't be married!" Bakura shouted

"Baka Yaroo (stupid Bastard), you can try it" Yami muttered. Bakura's eyes flashed as he turned and glared at Yami.

"Boku! (Wuss)" Bakura said

"Henjin (freak)" Yami replied. Ryou shook his head, a war of words. A Japanese war of words, a language neither spirit spoke well. Ryou grabbed a chair and sat down, watching them.

"Yariman! (Female Whore)" Bakura raged.

"Chin Chin Atama (dick head)" Yami retorted.

"Ama (bitch)" Bakura roared. Yami hesitated, his eyes sweeping over the room then landing on Ryou. The ex-pharaoh smirked and looked at the thief.

"Gokanma" he said coolly. Bakura's face flushed and before Yami knew it Bakura's fist connected with Yami's jaw. Yami fell back and Ryou stared. Yami had called Bakura a Rape-Devil. And surely that was said because of Ryou. Truth be told, Ryou was never raped by Bakura. He just played hard. A few silent tears ran down Ryou's pale face and Bakura glared harder at Yami.

"GET. OUT. NOW" Bakura bellowed. Yami stood silently then looked over at Ryou.

"Let me at least apologize" Yami muttered. Bakura's eyes flashed in murderous hatred.

"Did I stutter?!"

"Bakura, please, it's alright. Yami didn't know or mean anything by it" Ryou said in a soft and pain filled voice. Yami nodded then stopped.

"You mean he-?" Yami asked pointing to Bakura.

"NOT me" Bakura growled.

"It was someone else, please lets get off the subject" Ryou said.

"He beat me! When we get to the councilor I'm telling on you!" Yami said pointing to Bakura.

"We're not going to a councilor and that's final!!"

"If you keep treating me like that, I'm leaving you" Yami said in a kidding voice. Ryou smiled.

"Oh yeah! Go ahead, I only married you cuz you looked hot when I was drunk" Bakura snapped though he was kidding too. The door bell rang and Ryou ran to answer the door.

"Well I'm taking the children" Yami said (O.o). Yugi and Ryou walked into the living room where Yugi flew in and wrapped him arms around Yami's waist (he AIN'T that tall, remember?) Yami pulled Yugi closer and kissed him gently.

"Yami I was so worried about you!" Yugi said.

"Yugi, there's something I have to tell you..." Yami replied awkwardly. The short Hikari blinked up at his Tall twin.

"What is it Yami?" He asked.

"I sort of...um..." Yami tried to find the words but couldn't.

"What he means to say is" Ryou tried to help but couldn't find the words. He looked over at Bakura and gave him a pleading look. Bakura rolled his eyes and sent the words telepathically to Yami.

"I love you like the eternal sun and I wish you be forever mine. But I must go to Egypt for a short while. I have many things to clear up" Yami was stunned at the sensitive words that Bakura had sent him. Yami didn't even have to change anything! That was all Bakura's words. Yugi smiled sweetly.

"If you say you must, I believe you. Now come on, let's go home" Yugi said tugging at Yami's sleeve. The ex-king nodded then leaned down.

"I'll be right there, I have to say something privately to Bakura" Yami whispered in his Light's ear. Yugi nodded and walked out to the door, far enough so that he couldn't hear. Yami stood up straight and looked at Bakura. "Thank you. I owe you a lot. I apologize for what I said." The thief gave a curt nod and Yami turned to leave.

"Wait!" Yami turned and looked curiously at Bakura.

"What?"

"Here." Bakura handed Yami the flyer for Marriage counseling. "Ryou was right; we'll have to ride this out."

"Yes" Yami muttered nodding.

"Oh and pharaoh..." Bakura called.

"What?"

"I'll fight you for the children" Bakura and Ryou smiled and Yami shook his head. He laughed as he and Yugi walked down the street.
