FINAL part 2

" Please rest in peace Jeanne-sama..." Lyserg cried as he knelt down to pray beside Marco over her now buried body.

Tears ran down Marco's face as he watched the sunrise.

" Marco-san...please come back home with me...to London.." Lyserg pleaded softly.

Marco nodded pulling Lyserg closer to him.

" We're home..." Yoh said softly, Hao had falled asleep.

" Ah...back to our house in Osaka.." Ryu said taking off his helmet. " Tokyo....I'll miss it.."

" We can still visit sometimes..." Yoh said reasurringly.

" Yea.." Ryu sighed heavily.

" now that we're home...you can cook Manta-chan some strawberry and chocolate pancakes.." Faust smiled at Ryu.

" Your right I can..." Ryu looked at the house with determination. " Ah...I love you.." Ryu kissed Faust on the cheek cheerfully and ran up the stairs.

Yoh grinned at Faust teasingly " The age difference...is very noticeable.." Faust frowned blushing.

" Comon Yoh..lets go inside..you can help with Manta..Ryu and Hao can go to the store together.." Faust smiled lifting up Manta who now seemed to look alot better.

Ryu and Hao walked down the street. Hao looking more tired then Ryu. Ryu sighed looking down at Hao.

" You're still really worried about Manta huh?" Ryu continued to look down at him.

" Ah..." Hao replied, not really sounding like his usual self.

" Geez...I'd would of expected you to give me some smart ass reply..." Ryu chuckled.

" It gets tiresome..." Hao replied his eyes looking glassy.

" well...we have all the food we need....want to do some extra shopping??" Ryu suggested walking over to the small street of stores.

" Alright.." He continued to walk with him untill a small bright purple teddy bear with blue paws caught his eye. "lets go here.." Hao said blushing.

"More flamboyant than I thought.." Ryu taunted.

" Oh shut the hell up.." Hao shook his head and walked in casually.

" Theres the Hao we know..." Ryu laughed.

Hao walked up cooly to the store clerk and pulled out a small leather wallet. " I want that teddy bear in the window..." He demanded.

" Y..Yes sir..." The young woman replied rushing to the window.

" Yeesh," Ryu looked at him and whistled.

The two walked out of the store quietly making an odd pair to whomever looked at them.

" Don't ya know how to be polite?" Ryu asked.

" a little girl was eyeing it too...I had to make sure it was mine..." Hao smirked closing his eyes.

" What for..got a stuffed animal collection or sumthin?" Ryu snorted.

" No," Hao sighed.

" I know..I'm only bustin your balls...it's for Manta-chan right?"

"Yea..." Hao blushed as they reached the house.

" What took you?" Faust asked.

Ryu smiled and kissed him shutting him up " You sound like a house wife when you do that..."

"Oh?" Faust turned a little red and Yoh laughed sitting at the table beside Manta.

"Ah!? Manta-chan!!" Ryu looked down at him. " Daijoubu!?"

" I'm ok...." Manta looked down sounding still very weak.

" He needs to eat...so..." Yoh explained.

Ryu blushed feeling very embaressed. " Eh!!!??? Faust-kun!!! What's Manta-chan doing in a high chair!!??" he complained blushing even more.

" He's too weak to sit in a normal chair..and he's small enough.." Faust noted.

Ryu's blush deepened. " Just don't start actin like he's our kid or something."

Yoh laughed heartily " Oh but Ryu... he is manta's adopted daddy!! maybe you could be his adopted mommy!!" Hao bursted out laughing.

" Sh...Sh...Shut up!!!!" Ryu's face became dark red.

Hao stretched out sitting down in a chair beside Manta and Yoh.

" Well.... I better go off and cook..." Ryu blushed some more leaving the room. Faust chuckled " Now you know how I feel when you make fun of my age!" He taunted.

" Oh not you too!" Ryu whined a bit..

Hao's mood darkened as he stared at the kitchen knives hanging neatly on the wall.

"Hao..whats up?" Yoh said staring at him. his hands on his chin.

" Oh..it's nothing..." Hao forced a smile.
