Disclaimer~ I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. I would claim it but Neko Yosei just informed me that there is an evil force out to get authors that claim to own things that they don't. Their called Lawyers!

Me~ Ok people the chap that you've all been waiting for. Will Jou say yes or no?

I~ I think he will say no. So many people want it.

Myself~ I'm thinking yes. Me doesn't seem like a person to drag out her angst.

Me~ Well we shall see won't we? Onto the fic!

"Would you do that mother?" Jou pressed.

"It's been so long since I've had to deal with two children let alone a son. I'm going to try my best to treat you as my son." She gave a true smile as tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"I still don't know. Sure it would be nice to have a mother again, but all my life is here, with Seto and my friends. I couldn't move away from that." Jou leaned back into Seto's embrace to prove his point.

"I'm sorry Jou but if you did let me adopt you then you would have to move away. I don't have the money to provide you and Shinzuka what you need in this town." She cast down her eyes ashamed.

"Then that's going to change things a bit." Jou muttered also looking down.

"May I please speak to Jou alone, over there, if that's ok?" Seto asked pointing over to a pair of plum trees. She nodded and he led Jou over by the hand.

"I don't want to leave." Jou mumbled into Seto's chest.

"I know love, I don't want you to let you go." Seto murmured back.

"I want to give her a chance, I really do. But I can't leave this place. I don't belong anywhere else!"

"Do you really want her back as your mother?" Seto asked seriously.

"Yes. I want my mother. I want to see Shinzuka at any time without having to worry if I am overstepping boundaries. I want to have my family back!" Jou cried.

"Then would you like her to live with us? I'm still not thrilled with her on what she did but if you want her back then I will live with it. Who knows? She may have changed. God knows we have the space. Not to mention Shinzuka and Mokuba would make great friends." Seto lifted Jou's face to meet his, eye to eye.

"Seto I…"

"This isn't a trick question. Just say yes or no and it will be done. No matter what she is going to be my mother-in-law and I think it's better to be on her good side." Seto smiled and gave Jou a peck on the cheek.

"That would be the best thing ever Seto." Jou returned the kiss and cuddled into his chest.  

"Don't you think we should tell your mother about this? She keeps looking over here." Seto whispered.

"Mmm…we should." Jou whispered back. Giving Seto another kiss the pair walked back over to the bench.

"We have a proposition for you Ms. Aremara." Seto started out.

"Yes?" She pressed quizzically.

"Would you come to live with us? Seto has more then enough room and Mokuba and Shinzuka could hang out together. The neighborhood is one of the best and Seto does have top security so if dad ever gets out then you don't have to worry as much." Jou pleaded giving her his best puppy look.

"Katsuya does this mean?"

"Yes I want you back as my mother. I want to see Shinzuka at any time I want. What I really want though is our family back together so when the new one starts we already have something to build on. I can't leave will all my friends here and my future husband."

"It's such a gracious offer. But I'm not sure if I can accept it yet?"

"Why not!" Jou looked ready to cry.

"I have to talk to Shinzuka on this. I refuse to make such a decision for her. All her friends are back home as well." She smiled wiping away his tears.

"Thanks mom." Jou grinned bringing her into a hug. Seto had to give a smile at the scene; finally his puppy was going to have the family he wanted so badly.

*-* 5 Days Later *-*

"You're the best Seto." Jou purred latching onto Seto's arm. Jou's mother had called two days ago saying that Shinzuka had though it over and said yes, though the past three days where slightly abnormal. Seto had to sign all this paper work allowing her to live there and Jou had gotten the papers signed. Now his mother had full parental rights of him again. Shinzuka successfully switched to Mokuba's school. And from what the little Kaiba said she fully enjoyed the tour he gave her. Little did he mention that the tour was of all the places to make the most mischief.  

"Anything to make you happy Jo-" Jou put his fingers up to Seto's lips.

"No more Jou."

"What do you mean? Seto blinked at the statement.

"Call me Katsuya." Jou smiled replacing his fingers with his lips.

"Mmm…I'll make sure to do that." Seto purred back running his fingers through Jou's sun colored locks.

"Katsuya!" Shinzuka shouted as she latched onto Jou in a leaping hug.

"How's my little sis?" Jou responded in delight hugging her closer.

"Awesome right now big brother." She squeaked and looked around. Once she spotted Seto she bounded from Jou to him.

"Thank-you so much!" She squealed.

"Your welcome." Seto patted her on the head awkwardly.

"Hey Shinzuka I think Mokuba may be by the moving truck. Why don't you go and say hi to him." Jou suggested.

"Ah I should. See ya!" She let go and ran to the truck. Poor Mokuba didn't know what was coming at him.

"Thanks Katsuya." Seto mumbled resting his head on Jou's shoulder.

Me~ Gya don't kill me for what I did! I have a reasonable logic to this! ::puts up shield::

Myself~ Please explain.

Me~ Well I couldn't have Jou refuse his mother adopting him. It then would take longer to finish the fic and would make Jou go to a foster home. Yes I know another person that the other person trusts could take them in but they would have to sign up for guardianship. And that would be a little awkward to have Seto be Jou's guardian. So it was more logical and believable for her to adopt him.

I~ No! I was wrong!

Me~ Also because so many people really didn't want her to adopt him I have decided to make a full chapter of a day living with Jou's mother. Which means the fic won't be ending so quickly! Since the next chap was going to be the last and after that the epilogue leading up to the sequel.

Myself~ They are still going to be angry.

Me~ But I made the chap a little longer then what it originally was and there was fluff at the end!

I~ I can't believe that I was wrong!

Me~ Well please be nice and R&R.
