Chapter II

Yami and Yugi watched as the two albinos walked out of the room.

"So my little light what have I missed since I left?" asked yami.

"I can't believe that you are back. God, you have missed SO much. Where to start. Well," Yugi saddened "grandpa died two months after you left. I missed him and you and started to contemplate suicide. I had lost two of the most important people in the world to me and was on the edge of losing the third." Yugi sniffled as the words tumbled out of his mouth.

"Wait the third?" asked yami

"Yes after you and Bakura left it put a large strain on mine and Ryou's relationship. We almost broke up." A small sad smile spread across yugis face as he continued. "But we didn't. Ryou moved in shortly after grandpa died when he found out that I was planning to end it all. All of his stuff is here now and he never goes home. It helped my depression and it also helped us repair our relationship."

"Why was your relationship so strained?" asked yami letting Yugi's depression drop from the discussion as he could tell that it was Yugi finding it hard to talk about.

"We blamed our relationship for you and Bakura leaving because we never spent much time with you after our relationship began, but we came up with a solution. We decided that if you ever returned then we would end our relationship so we could spend more time with you." Yugi choked back a sob and continued, "We don't want to lose you again."

Yami held Yugi's hand protectively from across the table "don't worry" he said, reassurance ebbing into his voice, "you won't lose us again. But," his tone becoming more serious "I am concerned about the pact that you and Ryou made but we shall discuss it more later, for now continue on with your story."

"After grandpa died I was left the shop to run, it became obvious quite quickly that running the shop in our spare time was not going to bring in enough money to pay the bills. So, I dropped out of school to run the shop. Ryou stayed at school and finished with honers and did start college but then he dropped out to get a job to help pay the monthly bills. Even so we are only just making enough money to survive and are now thinking of selling the shop. And that's all that's really happened to me."

"Oh little one! Don't worry about that now. We shall sort that out later. So for now calm down and relax and tell me about what your friends have been up to."

"Ok" replied Yugi a little happier now that his dark was here to help him with all of his problems. "Let's go see how the others are doing and we can fill you in together."

Meanwhile…

Bakura and Ryou entered the living room and sat down on the sofa together. The living room was fairly small but when the furniture was moved it would be large enough to confront the gang later.

Bakura turned to his light half and asked "before we call the pep-squad, what has happened to you over the last five years? I want to know everything." The last statement was uttered threateningly and with a sense of foreboding.

Ryou pulled his legs up under him and looked down at his hands. He began talking quietly "after you left mine and Yugi's relationship was slightly rocky and strained as we both blamed our relationship for you leaving and we still do. We made a pact that if you ever came back that we would break up so we could spend more time with you and not neglect you for our relationship."

Ryou sighed as he remembered that pact, as now he would lose Yugi, his koi. " Then grandpa Mutou died two months after your departure," he sniffled but showed no other signs that he was going to cry " Yugi spiralled in to depression and started to contemplate suicide so I moved in here to help him. But that's not the only reason that I moved in but Yugi doesn't know the other one. No one does."

"What was it?" asked Bakura now extremely interested as to why his light move out of the spacious house that they had shared. Also it looked like whatever the reason was it had upset Ryou and if someone upset Ryou then he would hurt them. Thoughts of slowly gutting a person alive started to fill his head and a maniacal grin spread across his face.

Ryou didn't see this and answed his question heasently " my farther went to grandpa Mutou's funeral and that evening I told him that the reason Yugi was sobbing into my shirt and not anyone else's was not only because he was my best friend but because he was my boyfriend. I didn't know until that night that my farther was a homophobe he told me that I disgusted him and that now all his children were dead." Ryou sobbed tears running down his pale cheeks, but continued, "As he walked out the house he said that he would be back the next day at about midday and that if he found anything of mine left that he would burn it and that he never wanted to see me again. Then he slammed the door and that was the last time that I saw him."

"Yugi dropped out of school shortly after I moved in. My farther hadn't realised that he was still paying for my education so I stayed at school and helped at the shop in my free time to help make ends meet. I graduated with honers and went to college until my farther realised that he was paying for my education still and I had to drop outas he with drew his funding and I didn't have enough money to pay for it. I used the excuse that the shop was in trouble and that I would drop out and get a job to help pay the bills. It made Yugi guilty for along time but I told him that I wanted to help out and that this was the only way that I could at the time, so, he agreed."

Ryou paused so that he wouldn't lose where he was in is recollection of the last five years "we were making just enough money to pay the monthly bills but its starting to be a strain and we are thinking of selling the shop." Ryou finished.

Bakura nodded and let everything sink in then said, "I think that I will have to kill your farther later. But now I need some dirt on the cheerleaders before we call them and give you an expiation to our where abouts and killing your farther."

Ryou opened his mouth to tell him but was interrupted by Yugi and Yami entering the room.

"Right," Yami said as he settled into one of the arm chairs crossing his legs Indian style, Yugi sitting on the floor near Ryou, and drawing the attention of the other three occupants of the room to himself with his words "before we call up the gang and you tell us what they have been up to I have something more important to discuss." He paused and looked at the others, his gaze resting on Bakura as he continued, "As you undoubtedly found out, Tomb Theif, our lights are going to split up now that we are back. What do you think about this?"

"I did, pharaoh, and I don't like the idea…" Bakura was interrupted by Yugi standing up and shouting, "We are going to break up because we don't want you to be lonely like you were before and leave again!"

Yami held up his hand for quite. Yugi blushed at his out burst and sat down. Yami continued, "Neither do I tomb robber but I can see that if the idea is rejected out right then we will be met with resistance." He directed the next question to the lights "how about a compamise?"

The lights looked at him sceptically and asked hesentltaly "what is the compromise?"

"How about you give me and Bakura two hours to prove that we won't be lonely if you stay together. If we win you stay together, if we can't prove that we won't be lonely you can break up and we won't stop it. Everyone agreed?" everyone nodded in agreement. "Good we have two hours starting now."

"Ok now that's sorted I want some dirt on the 'gang,'" Bakura said impatiently

"Ok" Yugi said starting the recount of the gang "they all graduated but only Honda and Anzu went on to college. Duke and Kaiba focused on their companies. Kaiba went to America just overa year ago to look after the American branch of Kaiba Corp. he never came back. Mokuba is still at school, but looks after Kaiba Corp. back here, and so is Serenity. Joey and Mai work in a couple of clothes shops. Malik and Marik are still here and they help at the museum for Isis because she went back to Egypt."

"So what about the juicy stuff? Their love lives!" asked Bakura. He just wanted something to blackmail them with.

"Ok then we shall start with Anzu. She and Honda have been dating for two years…" the words were hardly out of Yugi's mouth before… "YES!" that was exclaimed loudly from Yami as he punched the air "the bitchisn't after me anymore!"

"Sorry Yami she still is and so is Honda. They have one very weird relationship." Ryou said. Yami just sat and shuddered. " I don't think that we should continue with that relationship." continued Ryou.

"Jou realised that he was gay after a date with Mai where they both saw this cute guy. They made a bet to see who could get into his pants quickest. Jou won. That was his first experience with a guy, but not his last. He and Mai are still friends." Yugi explained.

"Mai was openly bi before you left," Ryou said next "and she has had a string of relationships with both sexes and it doesn't look like she will be settling down any time soon."

"Next Duke, He came out as bi shortly after you left and he is still a total pervert. Oddly enough Duke, Jou and Malik are in a sort of three way relationship/ fuck buddies kinda of thing." Yugi told them.

"Marik is single and no ones really quite sure what his sexuality is and everyone is too afraid to ask. The same goes for Kaiba." Ryou explained

"And finally Mokuba and Serenity were together but they said it felt wrong like dating your sister so they stayed friends." Yugi finished

"Hummmm…. I think that you better ring the gang and tell them to come over as soon as they can. And try to get Mokuba to come as well." Yami asked.

"Ok!" the two lights chirped in unison "but what will you do?"

"I and the pharaoh will set up the living room for our little story." Said Bakura.

"Hi we called everyone and they should be here in half an hour!" the two lights called as they bounded into the living room to see the two darks moving a sofa against the wall.

"Good. Did you get Mokuba to come?" questioned Yami as he pushed the sofa back as close to the wall as it would go.

"He said that he couldn't come but didn't say why" said Ryou innocently.

"Tell him that you have news about S- Kaiba and that he should come here in half an hour." Yami told them.

"Can you also make some food this is going to take a long time? Also, leave us alone so we can finish up and don't bring anyone up until the whole gang gets here. Or else" Bakura said threateningly.

"Ok!" the two little lights shouted joyfully and bounced back out the room.

"They've been eating sugar" stated Bakura in a dry tone. Yami nodded in agreement.

Ding Ding Ding

The little bell over the shop door rang as the entire gang entered in to the game shop chattering about the reason for the urgent meeting that was called only an hour ago by the two (formaly)darkles lights.

The entire gang consisted of Malik, Marik, Honda, Anzu, Duke, Jou, Serenity, Mia and lastly Mokuba, who started to ask an alarming amount of questions as soon as he entered. "What do you know about my brother? Where is he? Why do you know and I don't?"

"We don't know anything about your brother," Yugi started to say but stopped when Mokuba stated to head for the door "but," he added quickly "someone else does. If everyone is here then we can show you to them."

Mokuba paused then turned and nodded his assent.

"Follow us" chirped Ryou as he and Yugi started to lead the group up the stairs to the second level of the game shop where the living quarters were.

They stopped in front of the living room door. There was music playing in there but the closed wooden door in to the room muffled it. "Everyone ready?" asked the lights. All they got in return was an array of looks from the others that said 'are you mad? We're only going in to the living room. What's with all the drama?', "ok we're ready" the gang answered.

Yugi and Ryou opened the door and what they all saw next shocked them. The gang was stunned because Yami and Bakura were back but what was also a shock to both the lights as well was what they were doing.

The darks were standing in the middle of the living room dancing in a loving but somewhat erotic way. Yami's back was leaning up against Bakura's chest. Bakura's hands were on Yami's hips as if to help him sway in time with the music. Bakura's head was resting on the slightly shorter ones shoulder, while Yami's arms were around Bakura's neck, slim fingers running through pure white tresses. Both had their eyes closed with a complete look of bliss on their faces. Bakura was purring slightly until the into of the song that was playing softly in the background hit the vocals, where he started singing. His slightly harsh voice holding the notes perfectly.

-Ever dance with a devil baby, oh no

Make my day

Do you feel lucky, oh no

Tomorrows another day

Can you walk on water baby, oh no

Turn water into wine

Can I buy you a drink there lady, oh no

Can you tell me not a lie-

Yami untangled his arms from around Bakura's neck and turned around so he was now facing the thief. Bakura's hands stayed where they were and as Yami turned one of his hands brushed across Yami's hardening length, who in response threw his head back and moaned. Bakura's hands rested back on to Yami's hips as Yami brought his arms back up and around Bakura's neck as they continued to sway. Yami leaned up and whispered to Bakura, his hot breath ghosting across the shell of his ear, "-What ever I do don't open your eyes. I'm going to play with our audience.-" And then proceeded to lick the shell of his ear.

Yami moved to Bakura's left as the beat of the song picked up for the chorus and, still swaying, started to move his body down. One hand trailing down Bakura's chest and coming to rest on his crotch. He started to sway back up, again leaving his hand to trail behind. Once he was again at full height he turned his head slightly and winked one stunning crimson eye at them.

It suddenly hit them. The darks knew that they were there all along and that this show was them playing with the gang. "I feel like what we just saw was important and rare" said Jou in a moment of intelligence.

Yami shifted so that now he was in front of Bakura, facing him, and bit down harshly on his collar bone emitting a moan of pleasure and throwing his head back in response. It must have been good when Bakura threw his head back he lost his centre of balance and fell backwards on to the floor bringing Yami down on top of him.

Yami was straddling Bakura's hips, pinning his arms to his sides, while Yami's fore arms were either side of Bakura's head trapping him completely. The tri-coloured haired one smiled brightly at the one trapped below him, stood up and dusted him self off before offering his hand to the thief who was still lying on the floor.

After helping the albino up Yami when to move over to the stereo to turn off the CD still playing in the background, only to be stopped by his wrist being tugged sharply, making him fall against Bakura's chest.

"-Mine-" growled the albino, wrapping his arms around Yami in a territorial manner and bringing his head down so their faces were just mere inches apart, justifying his statement.

Yami looked back up at the slightly taller almost spirit "-Yes-" he said "-that's why I married you-". A genuine smile spread across Bakura's face as he leaned down to capture Yami's lips in a heated kiss.

The gang still stood in the door way looking confused and slightly shocked because they had no clue what Yami or Bakura were saying because they were speaking in English, which none of them could understand. Except Ryou, who as soon as he heard that they were married squealed really loudly, though not enough to disturb Yami and Bakura, and started to glomp Yugi. This now divided the attention of the group between watching the fluffy moment between the two darks and watching the now apparently insane Ryou glomp his boyfriend.

The two darks little fluff moment finished abruptly when Ryou ran up to them and started to glomp them, forgetting all about the state Yugi was left in, all the while babbling incoherently in English. When Ryou calmed down and let them stand up off the floor, where they had landed in a heap after Ryou Glomp tackled them, he asked them.

"-Really?-" he asked looking up at them hopefully "- Are you really married? -"

Yami and Bakura nodded an affirmative and Ryou promptly hugged them. This time though they kept their balance and hugged him back, all three smiling.

"Okay, what did we miss?" asked Mai uncertainly, looking round in confusion at everything that had happened.

Ryou was still in a group hug with the two darks, Yugi was lying on the floor recovering from being glomped, Anzu and Honda were sitting on the floor sobbing on each other, Jou just stared wide eyed in shock, as were the two psychos Marik and Malik, Serenity was trying to snap her brother out of his shock induced trance, Duke had decided that Yugi might need some help and was now at his side while Mai just stood there trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

Mokuba was the first one to speak. "What," he asked "did they say?" Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him then at Ryou. Ryou shifted uncomfortably under everyone's gaze.

"-Go on Ryou, you can tell them.-" Yami whispered in his ear.

"Well…" he started " they said that they're married."

It was exactly two hours after the comprimise that they found out about the darks marrage. Yami won as always.
