Here's the next chapter.

Enjoy!


Chapter 48- Good Life

Yami, Atemu, and Seto all walked into the house around lunchtime.

"Man. College is a lot harder than high school. That's for sure." Atemu said.

"No kidding." Yami agreed.

Marik and Bakura were sitting in the living room.

"Stupid teachers." Bakura muttered as he had a book laid out.

"What's your deal?" Seto asked.

"Why did I agree to do this again?" Bakura asked.

"Because Ryou is not letting you mooch off of him." Yami answered.

Marik and Bakura had gone to a trade school instead of college to learn a trade. Bakura planned to be a welder while Marik planned to be a forklift operator.

"Well, I'm sure that Ryou and Malik will be happy to know that you two are trying at least." Seto said.

The three had been in school for nearly three weeks.

Seiji walked into the room carrying a six-month old Trina. "What are you guys doing?" Seiji asked.

"Reminding Bakura why he's going to school." Atemu answered.

"Oh. That makes sense." Seiji said.

Since the five had to go to school, when they had come back to Domino, Seiji had come with them and brought Trina as well. Touma had to stay behind with the band, and Jun stayed with Touma.

"When are they getting back, anyway?" Marik asked.

"They should be here in a week. Don't worry about it." Seiji assured him.

"That's good. I hope that they get back soon. I'm tired of sleeping alone." Marik said.

Seiji shook his head. "Somehow, I knew you had an alternative reason for wanting to know." Seiji said.

"You mean that you're not tired of sleeping alone?" Yami asked.

"I never said that." Seiji answered.

"Well, we might as well start on our homework." Yami said.

"Then I'll start with lunch." Seiji said. He went to the kitchen with Trina.

Yami was studying to be a medical doctor since that's what he wanted to do all his life.

Atemu had taken to studying to become a lawyer.

Seto was studying to be a businessman since he would inherit KaibaCorp when he finished his degree.


Yugi and the others walked into their hotel late at night.

"Man. I am beat." Jou said.

"Well, you guys did three encores. That's a lot." Touma said.

"Yeah, and signing all the autographs after school didn't help much." Ryou added.

"Well, you guys did great. This was your last concert on the tour, so you'll be heading home tomorrow." Touma said.

"What time does out flight leave?" Malik asked as they got on the elevator.

"The flight leaves at two, so we have to be there by noon." Touma said.

"Good. I get to sleep in a little." Jou said.

"I just can't wait to get home so that we can sleep in our own beds." Yugi said.

"With our boyfriends." Malik added.

"Malik!" Touma snapped, glancing down at Jun.

"What? I miss sleeping next to him at night. I got a little too used to it." Malik said.

"Fine. Just watch how you word things." Touma said.

"Oh. Sorry." Touma said.

The elevator arrived at their floor, and the group got off.

"Since it was just them, the group had pairs off.

Yugi, Heba, and Jou were all sharing a room. Ryou and Malik were also sharing a room. Touma and Jun were in the last room.

"All right, guys. Go on to bed. We have a long flight ahead of us tomorrow." Touma said.

The group nodded and headed into their own rooms.


"I don't mind being in a band and being able to play, but it gets to be real tiring." Jou said.

"No kidding. We're going to have to do a lot of catching up in out college classes." Heba said.

"Unlike the rest of you, since I have all the same beginning classes as Yami, I've been doing it as I go along by finding out from him and e-mailing the teacher." Yugi said.

"So, you're completely caught up?" Jou asked.

"Except for today, yes." Yugi answered.

"Man. I should have done that." Heba said.

"In any case, I'm taking a shower and heading to bed." Jou said. He grabbed his stuff and went to the shower.

"I'm like Jou. I'll take a shower and head to bed." Heba said.

"We all will." Yugi said.

"I'll be glad to get home, though." Heba said.

"I know. I miss Yami." Yugi said.

"Well, we'll see them soon enough." Heba said.

After Jou was done with his shower, Heba took a shower and then Yugi took one before the group headed off to bed.


The airport was bustling with activity.

Touma kept a tight grip on Jun's hand. "Come on, guys. Let's get going. And stay together." Touma said.

The group walked through the airport and arrived at their gate.

"They're not boarding yet." Yugi said.

"Well, they should be soon. Let's just sit down and wait." Touma said.

The group then sat down to wait for when they would leave.

"I just hope that no one comes up to us wanting autographs." Jou said.

"Jou, it's happened at every other airport, so I'm sure that it'll be happening here." Heba said.

Sure enough, there was a small group that came over wanting autographs.

The five signed the autographs for the young teenagers.

"At least it won't happen that much when we get home." Malik said.

It wasn't long before their flight was called.

The group boarded the plane and headed home.


Yami and Atemu were sitting in the kitchen since they didn't have any classes that afternoon.

"I hope that they all get here soon." Yami said.

"I know. It's been almost a month since the last time we saw them." Atemu said.

They then heard a horn honk.

The two stood up and looked out the window.

"They're back!" the two said at the same time. They immediately went outside to help them.

"Hey! Glad you're back." Yami said.

"Hi, Yami." Yugi said as Yami kissed him.

"Yeah. It's been too long." Atemu agreed, kissing Heba.

"Well, since you've said hello to your boyfriends, would you find helping us?" Touma asked.

"No problem." Yami answered.

Atemu and Yami helped the group get their suitcases into the house.

"Where are the others?" Touma asked.

"Well, Seiji's at work, so he put Trina in the daycare at the hospital. Bakura, Marik, and Seto all had afternoon classes. We didn't have any afternoon classes toady." Atemu explained.

"Well, that's good to know." Malik said.

"How has Bakura been doing in school?" Ryou asked.

"Surprisingly well. I think that he hates it with a passion, but he's doing it at least." Yami said.

"That's good to hear." Ryou said.

"Well, why don't we all get unpacked?" Touma suggested.

The group then went to their respective rooms.


"How was the last of your concerts?" Yami asked.

"They went great. All of them went off without a hitch. What about with you guys?" Yugi asked.

"Not much has changed to be perfectly honest. We've all been going to school and doing our work. That's been about it." Yami said.

"Well, I'm caught up with my work except for those two tests the teachers are going to let me make up." Yugi said

Yami chuckled. "The school was glad to work with you guys on that because of all the publicity the college will get for having the famous Hikari and Aibou as a part of their school." Yami said.

Yugi laughed. "Well, I'm just going to get an education. I don't care if the college uses it to make a better name for themselves." Yugi said.

"I'm glad that you don't." Yami said.

Yugi unpacked all his clothes and out the clean ones up and threw the dirty ones in the clothesbasket.

"Are you ready to start going to school on Monday?" Yami asked.

"Yeah. I'd like a somewhat regular life, and that'll help get me back in the routine." Yugi said.

Yami smirked and then grabbed Yugi by the arm, pulling him into his lap. "How about getting back to our routine?" Yami asked. He then leaned forward and kissed Yugi.

Yugi happily kissed Yami back as he wound his arms around Yami's neck.

The kiss lasted for several minutes before the two finally broke apart.

"If you want to go any further, you'd better lock the door." Yugi said.

Yami jumped up and ran to the door, locking it before jumping Yugi, knocking him back on the bed.


Heba moaned as Atemu pulled out of him and rolled over beside him.

Atemu pulled Heba close and said, "I've missed having you around."

Heba turned so that he was facing Atemu and said, "I think that you just proved that fact."

Atemu chuckled. "Maybe, but I missed you more than just in bed. Although I have missed you in that aspect, too." Atemu said.

"Well, we're back for a while." Heba said.

"I know, and I am so glad that you're back." Atemu said.


Seiji walked into the house with Trina and heard the living room TV on. He walked in and found Jun was sitting on the floor watching cartoons while Touma was sitting on the couch.

"Well, glad to see you're back." Seiji said.

Jun turned and his eyes lit up. "Daddy!" Jun cried, running to him.

"Hey, Jun." Seiji said. He handed Trina to Touma so that he could pick up Jun.

"It's good to see you." Touma said.

"Yeah. When did you guys get back?" Seiji asked.

"A few hours ago." Touma replied.

Jun got back down and went back to watching TV while Seiji sat down by Touma.

"Where are the boys?" Seiji asked.

"Yami and Atemu were home when we got back. They went upstairs with Yugi and Heba, and I haven't seen them since. Bakura, Marik, and Seto got back about two hours ago, and I haven't seen them since." Touma answered.

"Getting to know each other again?" Seiji asked.

"I think so." Touma said.

"Well, they're young. It shouldn't surprise us too much." Seiji said.

"It doesn't." Touma said.

"Imagine if they were going to different colleges." Seiji said.

"I don't think that they could have handled it. It doesn't matter, though. They're all going to the same college, so we don't have to worry about that now." Touma said.


~Two Years Later~

"I am done!" Bakura shouted after he graduated from his trade school.

"Kura, I am proud of you." Ryou said.

"Yeah. We were sure that you would flunk out." Yami added.

"What about me? I graduated, too." Marik said, pouting.

"Yes, and I am very proud of you for that, Marik." Malik said, kissing him on the cheek.

In the past two years, Seiji and Touma had gotten married. Touma had taken on Seiji's last name, so Jun's last name was also changed to Date.

Bakura and Ryou had gotten married only a month before.

Marik and Malik were planning to get married over the summer.

"Come on, knuckle heads. Let's go out and celebrate." Atemu said.

The group left the trade school to go out and celebrate.


"I still can't believe that you two managed to graduate without causing any major harm to the school." Yami said.

"Well, it wasn't for lack of trying." Marik said.

"Be thankful that you didn't. I really didn't want to have to pay to have the school fixed." Touma said.

"Come on, Touma. It's not so bad." Ryou said.

"Trust me. With these two, it would have been." Touma said.

"Well, we didn't do anything, so we can't be in trouble." Bakura said.

The group was sitting in a restaurant eating to celebrate Bakura and Marik finishing trade school.

"So, what now?" Yami asked.

"Well, I guess we'll be looking for jobs." Bakura said.

"We've also decided to move out. Bakura and I really want a place of our own." Ryou said.

"Well, that's understandable." Seiji said.

"Have you found a place?" Marik asked.

"I think we have. We're going to look more into it soon." Ryou answered.

"Malik and I have been talking about moving out as well since we'll be married pretty soon." Marik said.

"Well, I hope that you find a place." Yugi said.


"Well, Touma. We have four of them moving out." Seiji said.

"Yeah, and there's only six more to get out of the house before it's just us and our kids." Touma said.

"I take it that you're in no rush to get the others out." Seiji said.

"Well, they're still in school, so I'm not too worried about it. I mean, Heba's studying to be a doctor, Jou's doing like Yugi and getting a music degree, Atemu getting a law degree, Yami's getting a medical degree, too, and Seto's getting a business degree. Plus, Ryou is getting a degree in accounting, and Malik is getting a degree in teaching." Touma said.

"Well, I'll like it when they do get out." Seiji said.

"We're also getting a smaller home, too. This place is too big just for four when that time comes." Touma said.

"It might be big, but it doesn't matter. We can find things to do with the other rooms. Besides, we know that they'll come and visit." Seiji said.

"Yeah. I know." Touma said.


~Two Years Later~

Everyone was celebrating again as Yugi, Malik, Ryou, Jou, and Seto all finished their schooling.

"Well, it looks like we've only got three left in college now." Seiji said.

"Well, we can't help it that what we choose will take longer." Heba said.

"We know." Touma said.

"So, I guess you guys will be finding jobs soon." Touma said.

"I already have one. I'll be taking over KaibaCorp now." Seto said.

"What about you guys?" Seiji asked.

"Well, Yami's going to Tokyo to finish up, so I'll go with him and find something there for now." Yugi said.

"We'll start looking." Ryou said.

Seto and Jou had been married a year now.

Yugi and Yami were married six months.

Atemu and Heba had been married for nearly a month.

"Well, I guess it's good luck to all of you." Seiji said.

Jun was now nine, and Trina had just turned four.

Jun looked like a miniature Touma except he had Seiji's eye color. Trina had Seiji's hair color, although her hair was getting long and had Touma's eyes.

"Yeah. We'll be doing a lot now. Things are going to get harder." Atemu said.

Atemu and Heba would have to go to two different schools, but both were in Tokyo, so they would both be in Tokyo.

"When are you leaving for Tokyo?" Ryou asked.

"We'll probably go in July so that we'll have time to get settled and get to know the area before we start." Yami replied.

"So, what's going to happen to the band?" Seiji asked.

"Well, we're going to go on a temporary sabbatical while Heba's in medical school. We might pick back up after he finishes." Yugi answered.

* * * * *

~Four Years Later~

Yugi smiled as he finished reading a letter from Ryou.

Ryou had sent a picture of his and Bakura's one-year-old son, Kyle.

"Kyle looks like Bakura, but from the sound of it, is gentler like Ryou. Probably a good thing.

Yugi had already read the letter from Jou and Malik.

Malik and Marik had a ten-month-old daughter named Rika.

Jou and Seto had a six-month old son named Seth.

Touma and Seiji had also had another son who they named Sen. Sen had Seiji's hair color and Seiji's eyes, but Touma's personality.

The door to the apartment opened, and Yami walked in.

"Hey, Yami. How was today?" Yugi asked.

"It was fine. I am done. All I have to do is find out if I passed my exam to certify myself as a doctor." Yami said.

"We got letters and pictures today." Yugi said, handing them to Yami.

"I guess Atemu and Heba will get them, too." Yami said.

"Probably. They're all real happy." Yugi said.

"Well, as long as I pass, I hope to do my residency at Domino, so we'll be moving back home." Yami said.

"I know, and I'm glad of that." Yugi said. He glanced over at Yami and said, "Um, Yami. There's something that I need to tell you."

"What's that?" Yami asked.

"Well, I suppose it's more of a gift than anything." Yugi said.

Yami glanced over at him. "Yugi, I don't graduate until next week. Shouldn't it wait until then?" Yami asked.

"No. I don't think this should." Yugi answered.

"Well, what is it?" Yami asked.

"Yami, I just found out today that I'm pregnant." Yugi said.

Yami's eyes widened in shock. "P-p-pregnant?" Yami asked.

Yugi nodded.

"You're sure?" Yami asked.

"Yeah. Are you okay with this?" Yugi asked.

Yami's eyes brightened and he grabbed Yugi in a tight hug. "Of course I'm all right with this! I can't believe that I'm going to be a daddy!" Yami exclaimed.

"Well, I'm glad that you're excited." Yugi said.

"Of course I am! I can't wait!" Yami said.

"Well, I'm just glad that we'll be back in Domino when the baby comes." Yugi said.

"So am I." Yami replied.


Hope you liked it. Sorry about all the time skips, but I didn't really want to go through them all being in college.

Next: Not completely sure.
