1SingMyLullabySweet666: Hello everyone. It's been a while since I last updated any stories and I apologize for that. Umm... I have been busy and I know that I have used that excuse more than once already. Sorry! I really am! I swear it!

Anyway, this is the LAST chapter to this story and I have yet to determine whether I want to do a sequel. It depends on the outcome of this story. On with the chapter.

Warning(s): Mild language, light sexual themes

Chapter Rating: PG (for language)

(Yugi's POV)

It was raining heavily outside our bedroom window. The sky was dark and cloudy as the approaching storm grew stronger with each passing second. Rain pelted against the window like paint balls splattering loudly against its unsuspecting victim. The air was rather humid and dry, causing me to walk over to the thermostat and turn it down just a little further until it felt nice and cool in the room. As the room began to cool down, I sigh in relief and content. I had always hated the dry, humid air that came with every storm that we had received this summer. For some reason, this summer had decided to be a whole hell of a lot hotter than others, which kinda pissed me off a little.

Just as I turned from the thermostat, I saw the bedroom door knob jiggle for a brief moment before the door was pushed opened with some effort. With a small teddy bear in hand, my daughter came bounding into the room. Tired crimson eyes looked back into my purple ones and I felt my heart melt for what felt like the thousandth time that day.

"You really should be in bed, baby," I told her as I walked over and picked her up. She was slightly underweight because she was small at birth and was now trying to make up for it. I know I had called her ugly at birth but over the years, she had grown to be a beautiful and promising young girl. She was now the age of five and was a sassy thing, always a hand full and each day different from the last. She had black hair that framed her small face and was in dire need of a hair cut but she would throw a hissy fit every time I told her she needed one. Her eyes were wide and curious about everything around most of the time, but when she was sad or angry, her eyes will dull or light up with fire. Her cheeks had a kind of rosy tint to them and they were around and cubby but it made her all the more pretty. The most promising feature she had was her smile. Ra, it could power New York City when it spreads across her face and her voice as she laughs is like and angel singing. That, or I'm over-reacting. Yami said I do that at times.

"I 'ow mommie, bawt I'ms afraid of the storm," Hotaru said as I laid her down on Yami's and my bed. I lifted the blanket over her small frame and kissed her forehead. She giggled before snuggling under the summer blanket.

"You can sleep in here with mommy, okay."

"'Kays," Hotaru replied as she let out a long yawn before trying to snuggle deeper into the covers. I lied down beside her and petted her hair as I waited for her to fall asleep. I don't know why, but every time I pet her hair or just played with it, it would make Hotaru calm down and relax from her everyday, hyperactive self. Half an hour passed before I dared to move from the bed. Hotaru was known to be a very light sleeper unless she was in deep sleep.

As I stood from the bed, I walked over to the window and looked out it. Even though it was dark and the sky looked angrier than it had earlier, I could make out the headlights out Yami's car that was pulling into the driveway. I quietly crept from the bedroom and down the stairs to greet my lover at the door. As I arrived in the front entry way, Yami was taking off his shoes and putting his umbrella in the holder next to the front door. He looked over at me with those soft crimson eyes and smiled.

"Hey," Yami said in that rough voice that made my knees weaken and my heart jump into my throat.

"Hi. How was your visit?" I asked as Yami leaned in and kissed my cheek before kissing me fully on the lips. A moan rose in my throat but I quickly pushed down. Yami laughed as he remembered his hectic evening over at Bakura's house. Originally, I was suppose to go as well, but I couldn't because earlier this morning, Hotaru complained of an ear ache. I stayed home with her while Yami went to make sure that Bakura was still alive. His and Ryou's son, Akefia, was a hand full and they had given up on trying to go out. Every time they hired a new babysitter, she would quit the every same night and refuse to work for them again. Akefia mostly behaved like Bakura, but there really wasn't any surprise there.

"I had to stop Ryou from killing Bakura, who was wanted to kill his son," Yami relied as we walked into the living room and sat down.

"Why?"

"Well, when I got there, everything seemed normal. Ryou was making supper and Bakura was watching T.V. Akefia was actually behaving and was sitting at the coffee table coloring. I thought that maybe this would be a normal visit. Boy was I in for a big surprise." Yami started, pausing to peck me on the lips before he continued. "Anyway, Bakura and I talked for a while about nothing in particular. It was going smooth until Ryou asked for help in the kitchen. I went to help because you know what happened the last time Bakura was in the kitchen. They're still paying off the renovation they had to make.

"Anyway, I guess Bakura fell asleep for just stopped paying attention to Akefia because the next thing we heard in the kitchen was a string of obscenities from Bakura and laughing from Akefia. When we went to see what happened, Ryou nearly had a heart attack. Akefia drew ALL over the walls in crayon. I had to hold Ryou back from beating the living shit out of Bakura. He nearly escaped from me, too. It took me an hour to calm him down and Bakura was ready to kill his son afterwards. So, I had to calm him down as well. Akefia didn't come out of this unpunished though. Bakura have him a could spanking for it and was sent to his room without eating desert.

When I left, Ryou had forced Bakura into scrubbing the walls until it came off. I bet he's still there trying to get it off." Yami finished as he let out a soft laugh. I chuckled at the story because it was no different when ever I went over there. Akefia was always causing some kind of trouble and when he and Hotaru got together... Ra have mercy on our souls. It was pure hell.

"Poor Bakura. Well, I'm glad that I didn't go," I said and Yami let out a heart felt laugh. I smiled before I cuddled into Yami's side. He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me in closer. Yami leaned in and gave me a kiss before pulling away.

"I missed you though," he said as he kissed me passionately on the lips. I moaned and pulled away from his touch for a short moment.

"I missed you too," I replied.

"Shall we take this upstairs, then?"

"Can't,"

"Why not?"

"Hotaru's in our room sleeping. She was afraid of the storm," I explained to Yami whole looked intently at me for moment before whispering just loud enough for me to hear.

"Damn!"


SingMyLullabySweet666: Well, that's it. This story is complete! Woot! Anyway, I know it's short and it kinda cuts off at the end but I couldn't help it. I was running out of ideas and so I decided to stop it there in case I actually did a sequel. Anyway R&R!
