Epilogue: A New Beginning
"It's so hot out here!" Akari complained as she wiped the sweat from her face, reached for her canteen, and began drinking the water inside, not really caring how cold it was.
"Hey! Leave some for me Akari!" Bakura laughed as he reached for the canteen as Akari giggled and held it out of his reach. "You're not the only one in need of refreshment!"
Six months had passed since that fateful day, and Halakti gave Akari permission to live with Bakura as a human and the freedom to go wherever she wanted. Akari was overjoyed at the news and they chose to stay in Egypt as archeologists. And now as Bakura watched Akari giggling, he smiled as he remembered how much Akari went through to save him.
She's so beautiful when she laughs…I just can't believe we're finally together Bakura thought as he watched Akari dancing her victory dance as he gave up trying for the canteen. Maybe someday we could get married like Yugi and Tea, I really miss hanging out with the old gang. I wonder what they're up to now…
Then suddenly, Akari gasped as she held her slightly protruding stomach and collapsed on the sand under the hot desert son.
"AKARI!" Bakura screamed as he rushed to her side.
Meanwhile back in Domino City…
"Hey Yugi, has Bakura called lately?" Tea asked as she washed the dishes and started preparing dinner for her husband. They'd been married 5 months ago in Egypt and now Tea was pregnant with twins. And she couldn't help but laugh when Yugi fainted when he heard the news two weeks ago at her last appointment.
And of course no one was prouder than Yugi's grandpa who offered Yugi and Tea his old house outside the city. Still from time to time, Tea couldn't help but wonder how Akari was doing.
"Um no, not yet!" Yugi called as he checked the messages on their answering machine then went back to painting the babies nursery. "Oh wait we've got a new call. Hello this is the Motou residence, Yugi speaking. It's for you Tea!"
"Got it! Hey Akari how are you doing?" Tea asked as she picked up the phone and put on the headphones as she went back to cooking dinner.
"Things are going great so far and I've got some wonderful news, I'm pregnant!"
