Bakura stared out the window before sighing. It was supposed to be his and Ryou's anniversary but he had yet to get home from college. He had sent Hotaru over to Marik's house so he could have a night with Ryou.

The spirit began to nod off as Ryou pulled into the driveway. The young man walked up stairs and went to Hotaru's room first to find her gone. Raising an eyebrow, he walked to his own room to see his husband sitting at the bay window sound asleep.

Smiling lightly, the man walked over and sat next to his spouse. Brushing back to locks of spiky hair, he smiled. Suddenly a pale hand reached up and grabbed his wrist. Startled, he looked closely at his husband's face before noticing a slight smirk.

"Did you think you could get away with that? You are married to an ex-grave robber you know." Bakura pulled him closer until Ryou was sitting in his lap.

"I figured you trusted me enough." Ryou smiled at him before being kissed.

"I do, but you weren't home, so how was I supposed to know you weren't some rapist, or Marik." He referred to when he used to be in love with Marik.

"Too true I suppose..." The quiet Britain murmured.

Bakura leaned over and kissed his husbands forehead, "It's still pretty early, let's go out and eat. The Pharaoh and his daughter picked out a restaurant for us and made reservations."

"See, you do love me." Ryou mocked and then smiled at him.

"Depends on the day and whether you look cute or not." The spirit pulled the hair tie out of Ryou's hair, "Why don't you keep your hair down?"

"That classroom I'm in is too hot to not have it up."

"I would suggest getting it cut but then I would have to hurt someone." Bakura smirked evilly.

"And if you did I would leave you." Ryou kissed the pale neck.

"Come on runt," at this the spirit was smacked on the shoulder, "let's go get something to eat, I specifically sent the whelp," another smack, "over to Marik's for this, and stop hitting me already."

"Quit insulting our child, and me," Ryou left no room for argument in his voice.

Suddenly the phone rang and both jumped. Ryou got out of his spouse's lap reluctantly and went to answer the phone. Bakura had the face that looked like he would murder the person on the other end.

"Hello? That's alright, no we're fine, and you tell your Uncle Marik to stop that. Ok, we'll see you tomorrow."

"Hotaru I take it." The spirit stated.

"Turns out that Ai decided to talk with Keiko and are sleeping over at her house. We're picking them up at Seto and Jou's house instead."

"I think it was Marik who wanted to screw the daylights out of Malik, but I could be wrong."

"Uh, Uncle Marik, Mama said to 'Stop that' for some reason." Hotaru smiled at her 'Uncle' before going back to her dinner.

Malik snickered and Marik's eye twitched.

Bakura drove since Ryou hated driving at night, especially when it was raining. He pulled into a small parking lot.

"Villa Rosa? [1]" Ryou questioned as he looked at the sign.

"Yami says it's good, so let's go in."

"And since when do you trust Yami?"

"Since he has a daughter who can detect whether he's lying or not." Bakura put a hand on the small of his back and led him to the doors.

"Ah yes, her almighty power. Come on, I'm dying for some good lasagna."

Yay! I managed to get on the computer early today before Mum assigned chores! Anyway uh, I think I have to answer some reviewers. This is so cool! You guys really make my day!

Bast4- Thank you, I do try to make the kids seem real, sweet and especially loveable. Uh, I've thought about their powers. From the last chapter, Ai said she saw what Marik did in a dream. Well, because Malik gave her blood and he has magic, I suppose she now has it too. Um, as for the others, they just use regular shadow magic, except Akira and Keiko, I've decided they will have a mental link similar to the Yami's and Hikari's, only, it's just kind of like talking, nothing else.

Nite Nite- Ra I gave Marik and Malik a kid! What's wrong with me? Haha, actually Ai is nothing like them, she's adopted, so she doesn't have the psychopathic gene like Marik and Malik do. But from time to time she does get a little crazy, sugar can influence children greatly.

pisces071- Yep, I don't like people to wait forever just for a new chapter, I wait long enough for that most of the time. And I'm glad you think it's adorable.

[1]- Villa Rosa! My absolute favorite Italian Restuarant! If any of you ever come to the Eastern side of Pennsylvania, got past Allentown a little bit and go to Schnecksville! It's right off of route 309! I highly recommend their lasagna!
