***********************************************************************************************
A refreshed Shaolin opened her eyes a couple of hours later. For a few moments she couldn't remember what had happened but when she saw her deck on her dresser she remembered. I did it. I summoned the DMG and the DM. Iyaka better watch out because this time I'm fighting back. she thought as she climbed out of her bed and headed downstairs. Downstairs she found everyone asleep. Yugi and Ryou were curled up on the couch; Bakura was leaning against the wall beside the stairs, Yami occupied one chair while Amzahi occupied the other. How kawaii. she thought as she stretched her aching muscles and headed to the kitchen. Once there she made herself a sandwich and grabbed a pop from the fridge and headed outside. She sat on the cool grass and went to take a bite from her sandwich but put it back down. As she grabbed her pop she noticed the thin red scar on her wrist and a sad smile crossed her features. It's funny but I shouldn't even be here. My life should've ended days ago but yet here I am. Now I'm fighting for the lives of not only my friends but my love. She thought with a sad laugh. Unknowingly to her Bakura was watching her from the window in the living room.
She looks so sad. I wonder what she is thinking about. He thought as he watched the women he loved sit on the grass. A light breeze blew her hair to the side and Shaolin stood up and left her untouched sandwich on the ground. Bakura noticed the sad expression that Shaolin's eyes held. She opened the door and found Bakura waiting for her.
"Oh Bakura-chan gomen for waking you up." She apologized and shifted her gaze to the floor.
"Its ok you didn't wake me. What's the matter?" He asked softly. Shaolin's gaze shifted upwards slightly. She was looking through her bangs that covered her face.
"Nothings wrong." She lied. Bakura cupped her face gently in his hand and tilted it upwards till they were eye to eye.
"Please Angel don't lie to me. I can tell something is bothering you and how can I help if you won't tell me." He said gently. Shaolin stared into Bakura's eyes. He was worried about her.
"It's just that…" that was as far as she got before she threw herself into Bakura's arms and cried. "I don't know if I can do this. What if someone gets hurt because of me or worse what if you get hurt?" She cried. Bakura wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Don't worry about that. We all decided to do this together no matter the price." He told her as he stroked her hair. Yugi sat up on the couch and rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
"Doush'tano? (What is the matter)" He asked sleepily as he stretched out and accidentally kicked Ryou in the head.
"Nani? (what)" He mumbled and sat up. Yami cracked open one crimson eye and surveyed the scene before him.
"Someone is upset." Amzahi said as she stretched her arms over her head. "Who is it?" Shaolin quickly wiped the tears from her face. Yami stood up for his chair.
"I have a feeling that a certain someone is having second thoughts on letting her friends help her. Am I right?" He said to no one in particular. All eyes went to Shaolin, who was staring at the ground. Yugi and Ryou went over and gave Shaolin a hug.
"We all agreed to help you and you can't change our minds." Yugi said. Suddenly Shaolin lost her balance and fell over with Bakura, Ryou and Yugi all on top of her. Everyone in the room started laughing.
"Sure laugh at me and don't help me." Shaolin laughed, her voice muffled by the bodies on top of her. One by one Yugi, Ryou and Bakura got off of her. "Oh man I think my legs feel asleep." She moaned as she tried to get up but didn't succeed. Everyone laughed harder. Bakura put his hands around her waist and lifted her to her feet and into a kiss. Ryou and Yugi closed their eyes while Yami and Amzahi turned their heads.
Some things will never change. She thought. "Ok you two knock it off." She said. Shaolin stuck her tongue out at her and kissed Bakura again. Yami rolled his eyes and headed to the kitchen to get something to eat.
"Oi Shaolin I think it is about time you went shopping." He said as he stuck his out the doorway. Bakura broke the kiss off and turned Shaolin around so her back was against his chest.
"I'll go with you." He said and wrapped his arms tighter around Shaolin's waist.
"Why don't we all go?" She said and untangled herself from Bakura's arms and headed upstairs "But first I need to change." She said. Bakura followed her and sat just outside her door and waited until she came out wearing pair of jeans and a white sweater with a puppy on it. She had pulled her hair into a braid that hung down her back. She grabbed Bakura's hand and pulled him down the stairs. "Let's go." She said and headed outside followed by her friends. It was a pleasant walk to the store with everyone chatting happily.
"What would you do if Bakura and Shaolin got married and had kids Yami?" Yugi suddenly said. Yami stopped dead in his tracks. Shaolin turned to him.
"Yes dear brother, what would you do?" She wanted to know.
"Wish you all the happiness in the world." Yami answered.
"Oh Yami." She cried and hugged him. "Thank-you." Ryou and Yugi each grabbed one of her hands and pulled her along.
"Does that mean if I asked Shaolin to marry me, you wouldn't mind?" Bakura asked as he watched Shaolin walking along with Yugi and Ryou and he couldn't help but imagine her with his kids.
"No I wouldn't mind because I know how much she cares for you." Yami answered. A smile crept across Bakura's face.
"Good." He said and ran after Shaolin. Yami just stared at him.
Does that mean he is thinking of asking Shaolin to marry him? He better not. According to this time they aren't old enough. He thought. "Hey wait for me!" He yelled and ran after them.
