After Ryou and Bakura got their 'things' accomplished, they headed over to Domino Park. It was still about a half hour before the party actually began, so there were few people there. Bakura left Ryou to go sit and talk with Marik, who was drinking around six cups of punch at once. Ryou walked around a bit and noticed Kurama laying in the grass with one knee bent, one hand thrown over his head, and one resting on his stomach. Ryou moseyed over to him and gently called out to him. "Suichi." Kurama didn't make a move to answer him, making Ryou walk a little closer. "Suichi." He said a little more forcefully. Kurama still did not answer him, making Ryou go over and poke him in the side. Kurama grabbed his wrist and put it behind his back, throwing his other arm around Ryou's neck, his eyes a fierce red. Before he knew what he was doing and who he was doing it to, Bakura's fist connected with the back of his head. His grip on Ryou loosened as he leaned a little forward, flipping over him at the last second. Bakura knelt down to Ryou, seeing if he was alright. He stood, his fist at his side, his eyes burning with anger. Kurama stood, a hand on the back of his head, his face void of any emotion. "HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY HIKARI!" Ryou looked at Bakura, concerned. Yami and the others who were there went to Bakura and tried to talking him out of it. Ryou was still rubbing his neck where Kurama had tried to strangle him. "NO! I'm gonna teach this bastard a lesson." Yusuke had just arrived, and immediately went to the fight. "Woah, Kurama is in a fight!" Bakura's anger was swirling, his breathing heavy with ferocity. Kurama sat there, smirking. "I'm going to wipe that smirk off your face." Kurama laughed at him. Ryou grabbed Bakura's arm. "Bakura, Suichi is a strong fighter. I'm not saying you're weak, but he could really hurt you. I'm not even sure if he's healed from when I stabbed him. But, just try and rethink this." Bakura looked at Ryou. "He tried to strangle you. I'm not letting that slide by!" Hiei appeared in a tree above them, barely visible. "Never approach Kurama when he's sleeping. It was a reflex to protect himself, and Ryou made the mistake." Kurama shook his head at his darling. "Now Hiei, why go and do that? I wanted to have some fun." he said, looking up. Hiei stared down, then it registered. "Yoko! Leave him be. You don't want to fight this mortal." Yoko chuckled. "Sorry Hiei, but this guy isn't a mortal."

Bakura had enough. He charged at Kurama, faster than Ryou went at him before. Yoko loosened his grip, and before Kurama could react, his back met the tree Hiei was standing in. Hiei hopped down on the ground a few yards behind the fallen tree. Kurama stood himself up, looking at Bakura with a smirk gracing his lips. Yusuke roared with laughter. "WHAT ENTERTAINMENT!" Bakura smirked at the fact he just landed a hit. "So what now Red?" Kurama immediately stopped laughing and looked at Bakura with disgust. "Red? My name is Kurama. Suichi to you underlings. And Yoko to those fortunate enough to see me at my best." Bakura scoffed. "I don't care. Bring it on." Kurama disappeared, reappearing behind Bakura. He whispered in his ear. "Bakura, you know as well as I do that if I kill you, I won't get in trouble. You attacked me, and you're a demon." Bakura swung his arm to try and hit Kurama to no avail. Yami walked up, and stood in the middle. "Everyone stop it. We have another 10 minutes before this party begins, and you two morons aren't ruining it." Bakura chuckled. "Pharaoh, chill. I'll just teach him a lesson, and we'll be done. Five minutes tops." Yugi ran over to Yami. "Let them finish! It's fun to watch!" Yami looked at Yugi in disbelief. "Alright. Have fun." The minute Yami moved out of the way, Bakura was hit so hard that he flew out of the park. He came running back in and tackled him to the ground. Bakura started to wack Kurama's head off the ground, Kurama laughing harder every time it hit. The fox grabbed Bakura's shirt, flinging him at Ryou. "Ack!" Ryou ducked and Bakura hit the tree behind him. Bakura got up and pointed a finger at Kurama. "HOW FRIGGIN HARD IS YOUR HEAD!?" Kurama laughed. "Really. How else would I survive being blasted through a cement wall, and lived to tell about it? And even being stuck under that pile of rubble." Bakura looked extremely confused. "If you're so tough, then take me AND Ryou."

Ryou shrugged his shoulders and fell into his fighting stance beside Bakura. Kurama looked on, and shrugged. Since the park was closed off, and he could erase everyone's memory, he turned into his hanyou form. A white-blue wind engulfed Kurama, streaking his hair silver and giving him his silver ears and tail. Both Bakura and Ryou stared, along with the whole audience. Kurama's green eyes shown gold in the light, his silver tail swishing behind him. "If you use two people, I'm getting Yoko to help me." Hiei smirked. "This one is in the bag." Bakura and Ryou took off toward Kurama at the same time, throwing right punches. The kit easily dodged, sending fists in to each of their guts. Yami stepped in again. "THE PARTY STARTED! EVERYONE INSIDE!" Bakura and Ryou lay sprawled out on the ground, leaning against each other, trying desperately to catch their breaths. Hiei came down and landed on the kit's shoulder. "Come on Sexy, let's get a table." he said while playing with one of Kurama's ears. Kurama shrugged and started walking toward the tables and the rest of the gang. Bakura sat breathing heavy, his head tilted back to be on Ryou's shoulder. "Are you alright Ryou?" Ryou nodded. Bakura stood up and picked Ryou up bridal style. "Come on hikari. We need us a table and a tree to lie under." Ryou started to squirm. "LET ME DOWN YOU NUT CASE! I CAN WALK YOU KNOW!" Bakura chuckled. "You're making a scene Ryou." Ryou sighed in anger. "I DON'T FRIGGIN CARE! PUT ME THE F... WOW!! LOOK AT THOSE HUGE PRETZELS!!" he said. Bakura walked over to the pretzels and gave Ryou one. He put down the amazed Ryou and went to snag a table. He came back and threw Ryou over his shoulder, him being too preoccupied to complain. He noticed Kurama with a huge box next to him that decided to start moving. Bakura stop and stared a moment, until he saw a few packing peanuts came shooting from the box. "Fascinating."

Ryou shoved the pretzel in his mouth, growling at it because it didn't want to break. He shook his head back and forth, successfully breaking a piece off. He smiled as he chewed it, nearly choking since he was hanging upside down from Bakura's shoulder. Bakura placed Ryou on the ground under a tree, and sat next to him. Ryou placed his head on his yami's shoulder, and handed him the pretzel. "These pretzels are good. Eat it." Bakura took a big chunk of the pretzel and returned it to Ryou. Ryou looked at it and was immediately angered. "You thief! You ate half my pretzel!" Bakura put some of it in his mouth, and smiled at Ryou. "So?" Ryou tackled him to the ground, trying to get the pretzel from his mouth. "Give me my pretzel you baka tomb robber!" "You're gonna choke me!" Bakura managed to say before Ryou tried to eat him alive. Bakura swallowed the pretzel and showed Ryou his empty mouth. "See, it's gone now." Bakura lay on his side, his torso twisted so he could lay on his back. Ryou was on top of him, trying to see the other piece of pretzel. The original pretzel lay on the ground, disregarded. "Bakura!" Ryou whined, placing his forehead against Bakura's shoulder. "Ryou!" he whined back, mocking Ryou. They heard in a distance, Yami's voice. "Games everybody!" Bakura glanced at the rest of the people. Kurama sat with his back to a tree, Hiei laying stomach down in his lap. Hiei's head was just below Kurama's left shoulder. Kurama's hands were overlapping eachother on Hiei's lower back, Hiei's right arm draped over Kurama's left one. Kurama's legs were on either side of Hiei, his right one bent at the knee. Bakura noticed the packing peanuts in Hiei's hair, and attached to his bare torso, and tried not to laugh. Marik and Malik were sprawled out on their table, one on top of the other, snoring. Yami and Yugi were setting up the games. Bakura looked at Ryou, who was almost asleep on top of him. Bakura quickly rolled, scaring Ryou to wake him and pinned him to the ground with his body. "Get off of me." Bakura suppressed a chuckle. "Ryou! Do you not like me?" he asked, pretending to cry. "No." Bakura stared at Ryou. "I LOVE you, Bakura." Bakura smiled down at his hikari, placing a small kiss on his forehead. "Come on! Games!! Bakura said, bringing Ryou up with him.

Everyone gathered at the games, taking turns going. The only two that did not participate were Hiei and Kurama, due to the fact they were too caught up in their packing peanuts. (I'm not one for parties, so we'll wing it.) The game they played the most was the water balloon toss, which turned into the biggest water fight imaginable. Kurama and Hiei were fortunate enough to be far enough to not get wet. After the water fight, and everyone being soaked, they all sat down to have some cake. Kurama and Hiei sat down at their table, packing peanuts stuck to them. Kurama finished his cake and went to flick his tail only to find he couldn't. "This chair sucks. This hole... my tail won't fit! Yami, these chairs suck!" Yami walked over to him and assessed the situation. He knelt down and yanked on Kurama's tail, trying to pull it through. Kurama yelped in surprise, jumping from his chair to face Yami. "It's too poofy." Yami walked back to his table and sat down. Kurama started to rub his tail, noting he still had packing peanuts attached to it. "Hiei, can you give me a hand? I can't reach my tail and I have friggin peanuts in it." Hiei nodded and walked over to him. "You also have them in your hair and on your ear." Kurama continued to remove them, glaring at Yami. Yami's eye started to twitch with anger because of the look he was receiving. Bakura started to laugh at the Pharaoh, not even being quiet about it. Yami was angered, so he smashed cake in Bakura's face. Kurama, noticing what was about to happen, slung Hiei over his shoulder and disappeared into the packing peanut box. Bakura stood up, and stared down the pharaoh. "What... the hell... do you think... you were just doing?" Yami snickered. "Nothing." Yusuke stood up, drawing the final battle line. "FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!" he said, throwing a piece of cake at Kuwabara.

Everyone started throwing food, and soon they were all covered in cake, pretzels and anything else that was throwable. Kurama and Hiei emerged, unscathed. "Clean up time." Kurama said, starting to clean up. Everyone sat looking at him, things still in their hands. They all grinned maliciously, Mai being the first to chuck something at him. Kurama looked up, which was a big mistake. He started to be pelted with everything. He curled in a tight ball on the ground, putting his arms up to prevent things from hitting his face. After the things stopped flying, he stood up, frosting all over him. "Well, now that my night is over, I'm going to head home and get a shower." Kurama said, picking up his box and leaving with Hiei right behind him. He threw a seed over his shoulder, making it grow into the forgetfulness plant. Ryou and Bakura were next to leave, leaving everyone else to clean up the mess.

Kurama and Hiei...

"Hey Kurama." Hiei asked, his voice ringing through the hallway. "What is it?" Hiei walked to the bathroom where he heard Kurama's voice come from. "Can I get a shower?" Kurama looked at Hiei and smiled. "Sorry love, I'm getting one." Hiei smirked. "Then I'll join you."

After they got their shower, they walked into Kurama's bedroom. "So Kurama, care to go to bed?" Kurama looked at Hiei, as if pondering. "Which way?" Hiei smirked evilly, his ruby eyes bright and sparkly. "I think you know which way." Kurama laughed. "Let's go for it."

Bakura and Ryou...

Ryou and Bakura trudged home, tired from all the nights activities. Ryou unlocked the front door and strode inside, Bakura hot on is trail. "Shower.." Ryou said, smiling. Bakura grabbed Ryou's wrist and turned him to face him. "Angel, can I get a shower with you?" Ryou's mouth hung open, his eyes wide with surprise. "Yeah, sure, ok. Let's go. And Bakura? If you try something, I might have to hurt you." Bakura smiled and nodded. "I'll save it for the bedroom." he said with a wink. "BAKURA!?" Ryou said, blushing a deep crimson red. Bakura laughed evilly before planting a kiss on Ryou's lips. "I'm kidding hikari. I won't do it if you don't want me to." Ryou grinned. "Who said I didn't want you to?" Both white-haired boys headed upstairs for a night they will never forget.

I know, it sucks. Sorry about that. I kinda was killed this week. I hope it didn't suck too bad. As a treat to all my reviewers out there, I WILL make an epilogue. THANK YOU REVIEWERS!

VampiregirlE.D- Yes, I greatly enjoyed the packing peanuts. They showed up again here too. They are so much fun! And don't worry about not having ideas, it's all good. God only knows what the epilogue will have in it, but I hope for the best. I'm also sorry I haven't updated sooner. Many apologies.

ARTEMIS()- Calm down, all is forgiven. You can get up now. If anything, I should be apologizing for confusing you. Ryou isn't a demon, he just had a strong urge in him to fight. I thought it would add a strange twist if he knew how to fight, when no one even showed him. Many apologies for confusing you. I hope that cleared things up for you.

Orangeaura868- Which paragraph do you speak of? There were quite a few. I do like your idea, it's just that I've seen that done so many times, that I don't want to wear it out. I do appreciate your help on the subject though. I'm not sure about the epilogue, but I could always ask my sister. Also, I'm glad one of my paragraphs humored you.
