Boogie: I'm alive!…what can I say…I'm really…like really lazy, that's why its taken so long to get this up…that and ive been sick, my dad was in a car accident, my grandmamma had a stroke and my aunt has cancer. Otherwise...yeah my bad. Anywho anyone who reviewed...I think I got 7 or something, thank you all! It might have taken forever, but it really does mean a lot, so keep em' coming! Disclaimer: I only own a lack of social life which is why I'm writing this fic.

Warning: …Do I really have to say? Its totally unrealistic to the actual show and all of the characters are insanely out of character...although someone did say Bakura was quite in character, honestly I haven't watched more then 10 episodes in the last 4 years, so I'm just going by bits and pieces of memory from the show…actually if anyone knows a place where I can download the episodes for free that would be awesome...preferably in subtitles but hey, I wont bite the hand that feeds me…well actually I have before but that's not the point, they should have known not to put their hand in front of my face.

-----------------

"This is your apartment?" Yami questioned, everyone was staring up at a rather large building which had several windows.

"Yes, but don't let the outside fool you, its pretty big inside." Ryou said smiling, the only reason they were waiting outside was because there hadn't been enough room in the car, so they forced Bakura and Marik to take the bus, well not 'they' so much as Yami forced them to take the bus. Ah well speak of the devils, Bakura and Marik came walking up, both growling and muttering under their breath.

"Well are we going in or not? I want to get a drink." Bakura growled out, Ryou just shrugged and nodded making his way with the rest of the group following. They went up a flight of stairs and Ryou unlocked the door on that story on the left side, they all walked in and gasped.

"Wow this place is huge!" Yuugi exclaimed, and he was right, the place had to be around 3000sq feet, Malik and Marik didn't look all that shocked though, for one, they had both been to the Bakura residence before and their home was about the size of this one.

"Well it might be large but it also costs quite a lot also, but my father makes enough." Ryou chuckled, slipping off his shoes and moving out of the hallway of the entrance and going towards the living room which was the largest room of the house, it had a slight curve shape to it, Yuugi and Yami who weren't familiar house could see two other hallways leading towards the bedrooms and kitchen. (Boogie: I am totally making this up off the top of my head based off of some other Japanese apartment's ive seen online…gag! I have no ideas for this story)

Yami shivered slightly, it was cold in the apartment and even if leather was relatively warm it wasn't helping much.

'If they want it this fucking cold in their house they should just move to the North Pole!' Yami would have gotten the chance to rant longer (He rants a lot...) if a cold splash of water in the face hadn't woken him up from his thoughts, not only that but now he had to calm a now screeching, and wet, baby that happened to be in his arms. Yami growled and turned to the person who had thrown the water at his royal face (Gee I wonder who it could be), Bakura grinned cheekily at the former and currently wet Pharaoh (did that sound dirty or what?).

"Why in the name of Osiris did you do that!" the thief smiled and mimicked his hikari's well known 'innocent commonly called puppy dog eyes' look.

"You shook. People in Egypt who fainted and started to shake sometimes died if they weren't cooled down right away.(1)." Yami's left eye twitched.

"We're not in Egypt! You're just trying to make me hypothermic!" Yami shoved Leila into Ryou's arms, his angry yells now going over the screech of the child. Bakura tried to pull off his innocent look by pouting, of course this didn't work seeing how he still looked like an insane demonic bunny rabbit.( Seriously what is up with his hair?)

"I do not know what 'hypothermic' is dear Pharaoh." Yami was fuming, something Bakura took pride in, he could piss off Yami faster then anyone else on the planet.

"You do to you liar! While we were still in school you called in and said you couldn't come because you had hypothermia!" A mock gasp emitted through out the cold apartment.

"Gee Yami I didn't know you paid that attention to what I say; maybe you do actually love me!" When Yami looked about ready to rip out either his own hair or Bakura's, Ryou thought it about time to step in and put a stop to the childish bickering.

"I swear if someone locked you two up in a room together you wouldn't kill each other, you would just argue until one of you died! Then the other would insult the dead body!" Ryou huffed out.

"Yeah, unless you tossed in a bottle of booze, then they would just fuck like bunnies." Marik smirked leaning against the wall; of course his look dropped rather quickly when both Yami and Bakura gave him murderous glares. The room it seemed got a whole lot colder.

-------Flashback!-----

Yami sighed to himself, sitting down on a stool in front of a slightly less then hygienic bar.Garnet eyes glanced around until they landed on the server; patience wasn't exactly a specialty for the yami so he waved the man over.

"What do you want?" The man was normal height, with curly black hair and smelled slightly, one glance at the man and you could tell he wasn't Japanese.

"What do you have?" Yami pushed a few pieces of blonde hair out of his eyes so to make better eye contact with the man, the man made eye contact back. He obviously hadn't been in Japan very long either, probably American or something, apparently it was rather rude to make eye contact in Japan, Yami didn't understand why, but part of his royal blood liked making people feel uncomfortable and small (that and normally the only people smaller then him are Yuugi and Mokuba), so he did it anyway.

"Well a big hit of course is the Kiriban beer, and we've got some microbrew stuff also, and there are the girly drinks. The Kiriban is more of a hit with the working men and the girly drinks are more of a hit with working women and people like yourself."

"Myself? What pray tell do you mean by that?" Yami raised an eyebrow and watched the man shift slightly on his feet as he glanced over Yami's leather and buckle outfit.

"You know, gays. Not that I have anything wrong with that or anything bro." The man grinned nervously at Yami, whose eyes had now narrowed and were glinting off the lights, giving a rather dangerous look to him.

"I am not gay." It was the end of the discussion, and the man just coughed a little and glanced away for a second, obviously still not buying it.

"Well then what can I get you?" Yami shrugged some, his anger gone as fast as it came.

"I'll try a Kiriban I suppose." The bar man nodded and turned around, grabbing a bottle and poring it into a glass and handed it back to Yami.

"Thanks." Yami took a gulp, then spluttered and wrinkled his nose down at the glass.

"Three thousand years and they still can't make it taste good." He muttered to himself, and then blinked as he felt someone sit beside him. The person snatched his glass of Kiriban, it wasn't just anyone though. Yami turned to face Bakura who just gave him a small smirk and took a gulp from Yami's glass.

"The point isn't for it to taste good Pharaoh, it's to make ittolerable long enough so you can get drunk and then not care about how it tastes!" Yami just glared.

"You're paying for that."

"No I'm not, I steal things, it's what I do, if I paid for them I wouldn't be much of a thief king now would I?" Bakura gave him a slightly psychotic grin before yelling for the bartender.

"Hey Tony, get you're ass over here!" The man grumbled and walked over to them.

"I have told you a million times Bakura, my name is not Tony!" Bakura just waved his hand in a non-caring fashion.

"My friend here didn't like the Kiriban, get him something else." 'Tony' glared a bit at Bakura and turned back to Yami.

"So what do you want?" Before Yami could answer Bakura stepped in, yet again.

"Oh I know, get him a 'Sex on the Beach' and then a 'Screaming Orgasm', because that's the closest he'll ever get to being laid!" Bakura cackled at his own joke but was cut off by a punch to the face, with enough force he fell off the stool and onto his ass on the sticky ground. Yami was glaring daggers down at the thief, his face red from either anger or embarrassment, possibly both. Bakura just smirked back up at Yami and licked the blood off his lower lip.

------End of flashback!-----

A giggle interrupted the three yami's bickering, the glanced over at the sound of the laugh a found Ryou with his pointer finger in Leila's mouth, Malik was smiling fondly at the boy playing with the baby. Bakura, Marik and Yami all cocked their heads at the same time then exchanged glances.

"What…exactly are you doing with the child?" Bakura said cautiously.

"Oh well you know that pot of chocolate-"Ryou was cut short by the doorbell, all heads whipped towards the front door, Ryou raised an eyebrow at Bakura before handing Leila back to Yami, the child's mouth letting go of the pale boys finger with a small pop, two big light brown eyes blinked curiously around the room. The girl fidgeted in Yami's arms, she turned her head up towards her father, Yami glanced down and smiled a little, Leila let out another giggle and reached up and grabbed Yami's bottom lip, her other hand on his cheek, pulling some on the lip Yami's brows furrowed some and shot Bakura a glare, the white haired demon was chuckling lightly.

"Excuse me, could you all take a seat." Leila made a squeaking noise as her hands were pulled away from her fathers face, she looked up at the tri color haired man who was staring past her, looking at the partof the room everyone else was also, she squirmed until she saw what they were looking at; A woman in a blue dress suit with hip length hair was standing next to Ryou who was shifting awkwardly on his feet before the white haired boy scurried over next to his boyfriend , and by doing so giving the woman the floor.

"Who the hell are you and what do you want?" Bakura asked dryly, receiving a glare from a few, but hey, at least he got to the point.

"My name is Suzumi Retai, and I work for the company you adopted him and the child from." She smiled warmly at them. "I just love seeing how people can open their hearts and take in a child! But enough with the warm fluffy stuff, I have to make sure you will treat her right and that she gets the right care, there will be a number of random visits, along with a few scheduled ones, I hope you don't mind but its all protocol." There were a number of numb nods while they absorbed the information, but one person had seemed to lock onto one thing Miss Retai had said.

"What did you mean by adopted 'him', we only adopted Leila!" Yami growled out, Yuugi was nervously glancing over at his other self making sure the eye of Horus didn't appear on his forehead. (…It is Horus right? –cough- My internet isn't working which is why I'm writing on this…so yeah I cant check, oh well!) Suzumi blinked a few times at him before giggling, Leila who had been watching them started giggling along with the woman.

"Ah that's adorable! You're totally clueless…I'm not totally sure how you can be but anyway, that's still cute. I take it you and…Mister Bakura are a couple, and everyone knows there isn't gay marriage in Japan!"(2) Yami and Bakura exchanged looks before the feeling of wanting to embrace accrued. Did this mean they werent actually married! This was wonderful, wonderful news! Of course it didn't last long.

"But it is legal to adopt people of any age in Japan! So technically you Mister Mutou are in fact part of Mister Bakura's family…actually he in a way owns you! Isn't that cute!" She smiled happily at the two.

Yami on one hand looked almost worse then he had after he woke up next to the thief, or even when he found out they were now responsible for a child, but this was the finale straw, he almost physically felt sick to his stomach. Now Bakura on the other hand wasn't totally pleased with the fact he was still in a way married to the Pharaoh, of course there was no file that had a giant red ink stamp that said 'MARRIED' on it, but it still wasn't pleasing…but. Bakura smirked and turned to Yami.

"You hear that love, I own you."

The fuse on the bomb that had been lit finally reached the bomb…well maybe not entirely. Yami fell back in a dead faint, before he hit the floor a million thoughts were going through his head, of course the one nagging at the back of his head was he was a Pharaoh, King of Games whatever, those types of people don't faint, that and its unmanly, but those thoughts were slightly pilled under the smirking face of one thief king.

Unfortunately…if anyone remembers, Leila had been in the arms of said passed out former Pharaoh, and as the laws of gravity say, she went down with him, luckily he fell backwards, so the child just made gurgling sound as she went down and bounced a little on his chest at impact but then found the bouncing fun and giggled insanely as she tried to bounce on her own while exploring the wonders of her fathers face with her little hands.

"Well…That went well eh?" Marik grinned at the rest of the group, Bakura was laughing to hard to answer at the site of his most hated enemy getting his face played with by a baby, Malik just sighed and wrapped his arm around Ryou who had been giving his best 'I'm totally in denial about this situation but I'm going to keep looking cute anyway' smile, Yuugi just flicked Marik's arm and went over to pick up the bouncing baby and help Yami.

"Uh…well.." Ryou fidgeted a bit and turned to Suzumi, "Would you like a cup of tea?" The woman smiled pleasantly.

"That would be splendid, thank you."

---------------

Yami groaned slightly, his head felt cold, someone was nudging him gently and someone else was pulling on his bangs, slowly he opened his garnet eyes.

"Mou hitori no boku! Oh… You're awake!" Yuugi's violet eyes stared down at the yami, who blinked and grabbed at wet wash cloth of his forehead, then turned his head to see Leila yanking on his hair. With a grimace badly masked as a smile he sat up and glanced around the room he was in, it wasn't the living room, actually it was a light blue room that was perfectly clean, nothing was out of place…It was actually kind of creepy.

'Must be Ryou's room, from this amount of cleanliness and the fact I doubt that stupid thief would let me anywhere near his room.' There was a menacing chuckle from the other side of the room, Yami's head snapped in the direction of it, his eyes were met by dried blood color of Bakura's eyes.

"So, Pharaoh…This is what, the second time you've fainted today? Third? Care to tell us how many more times you plan on it, so we can prepare pillows so when you fall you wont bruise your royal ass." A sadistic had found its way onto the white haired mans head.

"How dare you, you slimy revolting street rat of a thief!" Yami growled out, sitting up rather quickly, almost hitting his head against Yuugi's and leaving Leila blinking at the few curvy blonde strands of hair in her little hands.

"How dare I? I happen to not be the one calling someone oh what was it a 'revolting street rat'? You are such and egotistical arrogant bastard." Bakura growled out, pushing himself off the wall he had been leaning on.

"Oh and like you're not? Please, you act like you rule the world, you have no friends because you treat everyone you meet like they're dirt on your shoe!" Yami had fully pushed himself off the bed and had taken a few steps towards the Thief, who had also had taken a few steps towards the former Pharaoh.

The two looked like they were just about to exchange punches, so Yuugi grabbed up Leila and sighed, pulling strands of hair out of the girl's mouth. Yuugi looked back up at his Yami and Bakura after he heard a slight muffled sound, the hikari's jaw dropped slightly.

To any person who happened to be observing the scene it would have looked like Yami and Bakura had well…kissed, which was exactly what Yuugi thought. That however was not entirely true, what had happened was Yami who had gotten up quickly had gotten a head rush after he stood up, and being mere inches away from the thief, grabbed onto the closest thing he could when he blacked out for a second and pulled down, when he finally had his sense back his eyes opened…and well you know the whole cliché thing, Bakura was shocked, but they both secretly liked it etc, etc…Of course that's slightly an insane idea in itself, seeing how they cant stand each other. So right, Bakura was shocked, I mean who wouldn't, the idea alone of being dragged down into a kiss is weird enough, but by your most hated enemy? So like the sensible, sane, kind and respectful people he was, Bakura shoved Yami backwards and viciously wiped off his lips onto the sleeve of his shirt, cursing loudly.

"What the fuck is wrong with you Pharaoh! Are you some sort of Masochist or what!" Bakura's eyes were narrowed at the Pharaoh, who had landed on his rump after the shove.

"I didn't mean it! It was an accident!" Yami wiped his lips on the back of his hand, glaring up at Bakura.

"How the hell do you 'accidentally' kiss someone!"

"I don't know! But it happened! You couldn't possibly think I would want to kiss you! You're a bad kisser anyway, your lips were cold, it was gross!"

Yuugi sighed, there was a strange woman in the living room with Malik, Ryou and Marik, which was never a good thing, Leila was well…here which wasn't really a good thing either; two life long enemies had slept together. Only Yami and Bakura could ignore everything that had happened to argue with each other. Running a hand through his hair Yuugi let out another heavy sigh.

'Why couldn't I have a normal life?'

--------- end of…whatever chapter this is…

Boogie: Yes…I have finally finished this chapter (this bad, bad short chapter)…after my way to long break, sorry people. I know I'm a lazy ass…But I really need to be in a certain mood to write, which I'm still not it, so if the chapter sucks that's probably why. Anyway someone (I think) asked for more character stat's so I'll put those in, maybe that will make up for the general horribleness of the chapter. But first I should clear up a few little things things.

1: Okay that probably sounded weird to people who don't know much about like heat stroke's…honestly neither do I, but I do know that a friend of my family's went from a desk to being a lumber jack, got over heated, passed out and started shivering, so the other lumber jacks put a blanket over him…But seeing how people in Estacada (where it happened) aren't exactly the brightest bunch and didn't think ' Oh hey its burning out, maybe the passed out guy isn't cold, because that seems totally impossible' Anyway the guy died from a heat stroke. So just a word of warning…if you're in a desert and someone passes out and is shivering, and you know its hot out…don't do what they did..unless your in like Alaska..then for god's sake dont try to cool them down.

2: As I was thinking over this story I remembered something…No gay marriage in Japan, but a lot of people have gotten around that because adoption is legal at any age and it's pretty much the same as getting married if you think about it. Rights, the last name…etc.

Okay now we get the stats (i'll put more characters in next chapter..but the farther we go into characters the less Info I have on them):

Jounouchi Katsuya (Or Joey Wheeler): (Birthday) January 25th (Weight) 137pounds, 62kg. (Height) 5'10, 178cm. (Favorite food...new thing, thought I'd add it in ) Curry Rice. (Disliked food)…Nothing…-shudder- (Blood type) B

(Height) 6'1, 186cm. (Favorite food) Beef filet with sauce …ive also heard French Beef..i'm not sure the difference. (Disliked food) Oden…I have no idea what Oden is…don't ask. (Blood type) A.

I'll now list like the blood type, favorite food etc. Of the people I had listed in the last chapter! Just to be fair .

Yuugi: (Favorite food) Hamburgers…how original. (Disliked food) Scallion (Blood Type) AB. (Okay so I don't get yelled at Yami's blood type is the same as Yuugi's, but favorite food and such is not listed.)

Ryou : (Favorite food) Cream puffs …a lot of people know that already, I still think its cute. ( Disliked food) Raw Urchin...why would ANYONE eat that?( Blood type) AB.

Yami Bakura : (Favorite food)…Its not listed…but I'm guessing bloody almost raw meat. (Disliked food not listed) (Blood type) A…that might not be true, since it was on a fan site, but hey…what the hell…might as well list it.

Malik: (Favorite food) Koshari …Its an Egyptian dish. (Disliked food) Meat. (Blood Type) B

Yami no Malik( I call him Marik… ):…Okay its weird but ive heard his blood type is A, I would think B like Malik…but whatever. And I feel bad for not saying it, but his birthday is December 23rd and yes…he does have a birthday, the day he was made was on Malik's Birthday, Giving him his own birthday! Awww…he's…younger then everyone.

Okay that's enough of that…I hope people forgive me for not updating in like…a month or more…and will be kind enough to REVIEW!

Yes that's right…REVIEW! Again 3 or more and I'll start working…or at least I wont stop the story.
