The Epilogue

"Quick, Hasani, grab her!" Bakura shouted.

"I'm trying! She's too fast!" Hasani yelled back.

Actually, he was walking right behind his little two-year-old sister. He had his arms extended, threatening to tickle her. Bakura jumped out in front of her, she squealed and ran in another direction. Hasani dove to catch her but missed just barely, falling flat on his face. The little girl paused and turned back to look at her brother. She poked his head, curiously.

"Hani?" She asked.

Hasani lifted his head slowly. Suddenly, he grabbed his sister and started blowing on her stomach. She squirmed, but laughed and shrieked none-the-less. He continued to tickle her sides and her neck. Then, he stopped and turned her around.

"Go get Daddy! Go get him!" Hasani gave her a gentle push.

The little girl raced toward Bakura, who was kneeling with his arms wide open. When she entered his embrace, he rolled back and acted as if she had knocked him over. He lifted her up into the air, then, brought her back down and kissed her cheek. The girl squealed even louder. Then, Bakura let her go and she just sat on his chest. As she tried to get off, she fell but picked herself up. Hasani got up and started to chase the child again. She started to run once again but collided into someone, causing her to fall back.

"Mama!" She exclaimed.

"What is Hasani doing? Huh? What's your brother doing, Kissa?" Sanura cooed.

Kissa lifted her little arms, giving the signal that she wanted to be held. Sanura smiled and picked her daughter up. Hasani bounded up and started tickling his sister once more, while Bakura was brushing the sand off of himself.

"I swear, Kissa is just as playful as you are, Sanura!" Bakura smirked. He walked over and gave her a quick kiss.

"Oh, get a room." Hasani groaned, walking back to the house.

"Wait, Hasani. Can you please take Kissa…and dinner is almost ready. Could you set the table please?" Sanura asked.

"Alright." The twelve-year-old responded, taking Kissa into his arms.

Bakura waited until his two children were in the house, before he kissed his wife again.

"I see so much of you in Kissa, you know that? What did I do to deserve you and our wonderful children? I must have done something right." Bakura said, pulling her into his embrace.

Sanura blushed and hugged him back.

They had been having moments like this for almost thirteen years now. And the result was a handsome, young man and a beautiful, baby girl. Sanura could remember Bakura telling the ghosts of Kul Elna to back off and that he wants them to guard his family…not scare them. At that time, Hasani was ten and Sanura was pregnant with Kissa.

"We had better get back. Kissa will throw a fit, if she's away from her mother too long." Bakura broke the silence. He was smiling but it was more of a smirk. To which he was known for.

When the couple entered the house, Tefnut looked up and barked. He was lying in the corner of the room, soaking the last of the day's sun. He was getting old but he would get aggressive or playful whenever necessary. He was a wonderful watchdog. The family was still living in the abandoned village of Kul Elna. Now, the village was less scary than it used to be. Awhile after the incident at the palace, Bakura and Sanura would take Hasani back there. Ria was always happy to baby-sit him, while his parents cleaned up the village. They would throw away old broken bottles, decaying skeletons, and other objects that Hasani didn't need to see. As a bonus, playing hide-and-seek was always exciting.

"Guess what I heard in the village today, Mother." Hasani said, placing four plates on the wooden table.

"What?" Sanura asked, putting a bowl of fruit on the table as well.

"Well, it was announced that Kisara had her third child yesterday."

"Gods, they're still busy?!" Bakura exclaimed.

"Oh, and Ria and Atemu's child has gotten two snakes for his birthday."

"How old is Aten now?" Bakura asked."

"Eleven." Sanura replied.

"And how many pets does he have?"

"This makes ten. Four dogs, three cats, two snakes and one hawk." Hasani responded.

Sanura placed the rest of the food on the table, while Bakura and Hasani sat down. Kissa was already sitting in her chair, a pillow to cushion her and to give her a little boost. She was waiting patiently for her father to finish cutting her meal into bite-size pieces. All right, not that patiently.

"No, Kissa, not yet." Bakura sighed, gently pushing the little hand away. She was getting a little too close to the knife.

Sanura smiled. She could remember when it was just herself or just Bakura at this table. Then, she remembered when it was the both of them, sharing a meal. Now, it was herself, her husband and her two children. At this point, nothing else mattered. Just the possible events and moments of tomorrow.

In the years to come, Kissa and Hasani would grow. Hasani would grow up to be a handsome young man. He would eventually become his father's apprentice of working for the Black Market. And when he accompanies Bakura on a thieving trip to Nubia, he meets a young servant girl. She tries to follow him home, in an attempt to see Hasani again. She succeeds. The two later marry and have one child together. Like father, like son.

Kissa, on the other hand, grows to have a striking resemblance to her mother but with several differences. She will have shoulder length brown hair with lighter streaks. She has her mother's golden eyes and her bright smile. She, too, will marry. But this time, Kissa marries a palace guard. At first, Bakura wasn't really fond of the idea, due to past experiences. But eventually, he realizes that the two are truly happy. So, he lets his little girl marry. And the couple have two children as well.

While Bakura and Sanura watch their grandchildren grow, the gods are looking down and smiling.

Now it is.
