Alrighty, so I promised y'all an epilogue. It's not that long, but...it'll do. So enjoy. Oh and I'm just going to go ahead and say I made the 200 mark because with 197 reviews already I dont' see how I can't. *smirks* Enjoy!
Endlessly:
I could love you endlessly, I could fall in love with you and we could keep a miracle alive. Every time I look in your eyes, I get lost inside of your soul. What are you doing to me? Don't you know that I hate you? Don't you want my blood on your hands? Don't you want me to scream? Don't you realize that it's too late to bring me back life? I'm already further than death. I'm drowning in my desire for you and my need to kill you. I want my hands covered in your blood, I want your skin underneath my fingertips I want you to reach out and touch me, I want you to burn me alive with your beautiful eyes. I want to hear your voice when I go to bed at night, I want to lie next to you and watch the world go by. I want to end you for good, I want to make you suffer, I want to see the look in your eyes when you look up at me when I hold the knife above your heart. I want you to know that any claims of hope you had of us is nothing but fantasy we'll never have. I want you to be the one that kills me, I want my blood on your hands.. I want you to end me I want to feel your passion. I want to feel your soul wrapping around mine. I want to know if you feel this too. I want to know if I can kill you now. I want to feel you underneath me I want to feel something besides this loneliness I feel inside. I want to bring the demon out of you.
I want to know if it hurts when I cut you up inside. I want to know if you really hate me or if I really hate you. I want to make me scream, I want to feel the power within me grow. I want you to knock me out, I want you to defeat me. I want something so much more from you than I could ever get. I want you to bleed, I want you to scream. I need you to know you're driving me crazy. I need you to know my soul burns passionately for you every time you give me that look I think I'm going to lose my mind. I want you dead, I want your soul to scream, to earn itself to me. I need you to know this isn't a game anymore. And what would you think if I told you that loved you this whole time? What would you say if I told you I never wanted to hate you, that I never loved you at all? What if I was playing with your mind?
What if I was lying right now? What if I told it was too personal to tell you how I felt about you? What if I told you that everything you've done to me was nothing more than just a wicked fantasies you dreamt of? What if I can't take it back? What if I don't want to? What if everything I said wasn't a lie? What if I tried to bring you back? What if I really did love you? Would you love me back, even though you think of me as a fool? Am I fool to fall in love with you? What if I told you that loving you is so impossible, it's not reality. I couldn't take it anymore. You burn me alive, I'd give myself to you if I could.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh. If I did, then Yugioh would have ended with Bakura and Yami admitting their undying love for one another and Seto would have pulled Joey into a kiss to shut him up because Puppy and Darkshipping rock!
Warnings: My usual, y'all know what that means, but for those of you who happen to be new to my awesomeness, it means there's lemony goodness!
Summary:
Moments away from destroying Zorc, Yami hesitates, asking Horakhty if she can set Bakura free. She agrees, telling Yami that in order for him to pass into the afterlife, he must break his enemy of the darkness, and he only as a year to do so.
Epilogue: Shadowed Lights
[Three years later…]:
[Bakura's POV]:
Passion ignites my soul as Atem and I take each other's lips in a hungry kiss. He pulls my tongue into his mouth sucking on it harshly as his hands grip my hair tightly, running his fingers through it. I grind our hips together. We moan it our kiss. Atem wraps his legs around my waist, forcing our lower bodies to press firmly against each other. I break the kiss, we both gasp from the sensation of our hardened cocks rubbing deliciously against each other.
I kiss down Atem's chest and abdomen. Nipping and licking the flesh. He moans, fisting the sheets. I continue my ministrations and he groans in aggravation. I chuckle to myself. I love seeing my husband all flustered. He's utterly gorgeous.
"Would you come on?!" he hisses breathlessly.
"Now, now. We don't' want to wake the kids up, now do we?" I tease biting hard on one of his nipples. Then licking it.
He gasps then groans. His eyes screwed shut as pain and pleasure clash within in. I continue to rub our cocks together. He bucks his hips, his legs tightening around my waist.
"T-they're on the other side of the h-house-oh gods!" he moans as I take him in my mouth. "And we have sound proof walls." He finishes his earlier comment.
I take him out of my mouth, licking the tip of his erection. "Oh yes. Sound proof walls." I say running my fingers like feathers along the veins of his erection causing him to shudder in pleasure. "Kaiba's wedding gift to you."
"T-this whole house was, B-Bakura." He half moans, half gasps as I take him into my mouth again. I think he tastes better every time we do this. I ignore him, sucking hard and fast. He moans loudly, arching his back and bucking his hips. I sit up and watch as his body arches into orgasm. There's nothing quite like my dear wife losing control.
He collaspses back on the bed, panting heavily. Face flushed. I smirk, crawling on top of him, taking his lips to mine. Atem wraps his arms around my neck running his fingers through my hair.
"Make love to me." He pants as we break the kiss.
"Of course, my dear wife." I say as he reaches for the bottle of lube. He squirts the contents in his hands and lathers my cock. I close my eyes and moan. His touches are so soft, yet firm and rough…just as I love it.
I grab his hand and remove it, lining myself up and slide into him slowly. It's been far too long since I've been inside of him.
"Dammit." I hiss as his hot walls constrict around my cock. I close my eyes. I hate this stupid heart.
"Bakura, maybe we should…"
"I'll be fine." I hiss breathlessly. "Just give me a second."
"But…"
I give him a look and he doesn't protest. I need this. I'm not submissive. I'm fucking him whether he likes it or not! I slide out of him slowly then back in, keeping a steady pace. I want this to last for one thing and I doubt I'll be able to survive fast and hard thrusting that I love so much. It's just the price I have to pay for killing myself.
Atem closes his eyes and wraps his legs around my waist pulling me in futher. I groan and he pulls me down for a hot kiss that leaves both of us breathless when we part. I sit back up, wrapping my arms around his waist, pulling him up on my thighs. He moans digging his nails into my shoulders as I thrust into him deeply. Atem meets my thrust moving up and down on me slowly. Gods, I'm losing my fucking mind…
Atem pushes me down on the bed, taking full control. I love it when he does this. It's so sexy to look up at him and see him in complete and utter pleasure as my cock rams into his prostate in such a delicious way. My heart pounds in my chest as I slide in and out of him. Atem moans, lying down on me taking me into a hungry kiss. I claw his back, thrusting upward. He breaks the kiss, gasping. I smirk, thrusting into him harder.
Atem sits up and we meet each other again and again. He closes his eyes, moans slip through his parted lips. I grab his erection, stroking it.
"B-Bakura," he moans shakily.
"Cum, baby." I say breathlessly.
One more, hard, deep thrust and stroke is all it takes to send us both over the edge. Atem's hot cum covers my chest and abdomen as I fill him with my essence. The jaws of death grip my cock and I'm forced to ride the waves of bliss with a raspy groan.
He collaspses on top of me and I wrap him in my arms. My heart is thudding widly in my chest. It's painful, but I ignore it. I just want to lie right here for a moment, but, of course, that moment doesn't last and Atem gets off of me.
"Are you okay?" he pants.
"I'm fine." I say. "Chest hurts a bit, but I'll be alright."
"I still think that was too soon, Bakura." Yami says.
"I'm still on that fucking waiting list and I'll be damned if I can't fuck my husband because of my stupid heart!" I hiss.
"Bakura…."
"I'm sorry, Atem." I sigh. "I just…"
"Yeah, I know." He says brushing my hair back. "But we'll find you a replacement heart someday."
"Hm." I grunt closing my eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asks stopping his ministrations.
"It's just hopeless. We've been waiting three years and nothing has come to pass." I sigh.
"We can't give up." Yami beseeches. "Where would we be if we had?"
He's right. I'm not the type to give up and neither is Atem. Still, it's annoying having to wait. I wished there was a way to find a donour for me, but the doctors are doing the best they can. Still, I'm grateful to even be alive.
XXXXXXXX
[Yami's POV]:
Three years ago, Bakura and I got married. It was a beautiful wedding. All of our friends came. Even the Wheeler parents did. I was shocked at first, but seeing that they've changed over the course of the time they've been in the rehab center I'm not surprised. They still have quite a ways to go, but they're trying. Joey and Serenity are grateful for that.
About six months after Bakura's and my honeymoon, we decided that we wanted to raise a family. So, we decided to adopt from an orphanage. Ironically, it was the exact same one that Mai and Richard had adopted from. Mai said she was unable to get pregnant and had been looking into adoption for a while. So she sent me to the place and Bakura and I instantly fell in love with three boys: Quinton, Quattro, and Trey. Ages ten, six, and four.
Their mother had died when Trey was born. They were raised by their father for a few years until he was put into a mental instution. Poor guy had gone completely crazy from the death of his wife. I pray that I don't go that crazy when Bakura dies…if he dies before me, and judging from that heart of his, unless we get a donour, he will.
Quinton, the oldest, is extremely smart. His hair is absolutely beautiful. Long silverly locks cascading down his back. He's always worried about his brothers. Always puts their needs ahead of his own. He's extremely close to Kaiba's and Joey's son, Kite. I think they'll end up falling in love from the rate they're going, but they're too young to tell.
My middle son is named Quattro. He is a handful. He looks like someone took Bakura's and my genes and put them in a lap and stuff them inside his mother. He has a mix of Bakura's and my's hair. He gets into a lot of fights, regardless of his age, and even has a scar on his face because of it.
My youngest son is named Trey. He is the sweetest, kindest boy you'll ever meet. He and Quattro often get into fights. It's sad really, but that's how boys are I suppose. I think Bakura's been corrupting Quattro's mind honestly.
"Daddy! Papa!" Trey says through the door. "Quattro is being a big ol' meanie again!"
I look at my lover who's fallen asleep. Gently, so I woke wake him, I pad over to the door and open it. Trey is in tears. I sigh and close the door softly.
"Alright, Trey, what happened?" I ask.
I sniffs, looking down. "Well, I wanted to play with my new toys and Quattro took them from me and said they were stupid!" Trey whispers, tears streaming down his face.
I sigh again. 'Where is he?" I ask.
My youngest son lifts a shaky finger towards the living room and I walk in where Quattro and Quinton are watching TV.
"Hey, Papa." Quattro says.
I don't know where that nickname came from honestly. When Bakura and I brought the boys home they immediately started calling Bakura 'Dad' and me 'Papa'. Bakura likes to tease me about it too. That thief…I shake my head, composing myself from my thoughts.
"Quattro, what have I told you about messing with your brother?" I scold.
"Tatle teller!" Quattro sneers seeing Trey peeking from behind my legs.
"He's not a tatle teller." I say. "You shouldn't be messing with his toys in the first place."
"But they're dolls! He's a boy!" Quattro exclaims.
"Are you ever going to let it go, Quattro?" Quinton asks, flipping through the channels of the TV.
"No! Because he's…I mean he doesn't wanna play hot wheels and monster trucks!" he exclaims.
"Yes I do." Trey mutters.
Quattro looks at his brother, eyes widen. "You do?" he asks.
Trey comes from behind my legs and nods. "Yeah, I mean I like dolls, but I like trucks and such too. I just didn't think you guys wanted to play with me." He mutters, looking down.
"Of course we want to play with you, Trey." Quattro scoffs. "You're my brother."
"But"-
"Just get over here and watch TV." Quinton says.
I smile. "Quinton, make sure they get in bed early tonight. We have the party to go to in the morning."
"Yes, Papa." He says, smiling up at me.
I roll my eyes and head back to my room.
XXXXXXXXX
[Mai's POV]:
So three years have passed and oh boy so much has gone on! First, Bakura and Atem got married. Then Marik and Yugi did. And then Kaiba and Joey did. Serenity and Mokuba want to wait it out and finish school. Can't blame them there really. Still, all the weddings were nice. And were paid for by yours truly.
We all ended up adopting kids too. All of them are such great kids. Except Yami's boy, Quattro. That kid needs some help. My kids don't. They're angels. They're names are Reginald and Rio. They're twins. We like to call Reginald 'Shark' because he has a fascination for sharks. Rio has an amazing ability to sense danger. They're seven years old now.
Marik and Yugi adopted two kids: Kari and Yuma. Kari is about ten and Yuma is seven. Yuma is very lively. He and Shark are really good friends despite that Shark seems impassive in their friendship. Kari likes to take pictures. Believe me, she's good. That girl's caught some real funny things.
Kaiba and Joey adopted two boys named Kite and Hart. They're really close. I guess the reason they adopted them was because Kaiba could see the brotherly bond they shared. Plus, Kite has a strong love for dragons. That's always a plus in the Kaiba family.
Today is Kite's birthday. So, we're having a party at Kaiba's. I'm in charge of getting everything organized while Kaiba is at work. The kids will be coming over in a few hours and I have to make sure everything is all set. I can't wait to see them.
XXXXXXXX
[Ryou's POV]:
"Quattro, put that down!" I scold as he gives chase to Kite. It's been a nice birthday party so far. Everyone is having a good time as am I. I can't believe it's been three years since Yami saved Bakura. So much has changed since then.
Bakura still hasn't been able to find another heart, thus he's forced to have Mr. Muto's heart. Still, it's better than nothing he just has to be careful what he does.
"You never were one for social gatherings." My yami says coming up to stand next to me.
We look out seeing the kids slide along the water slide.
"No. And neither have you."
"Hm."
"You seem distress. Care to share?" I ask.
"It's nothing, Hikari." Bakura says.
I turn to face him. "We shared a mind for years, Bakura, I think I'd know if something's amiss. So tell me what's going on." I say.
He sighs, giving in. "You know what tomorrow is, Ryou." He mutters.
"Oh…"
Tomorrow is the day that Mr. Muto gave up his life for Bakura. It sadly deepens my yami when this day occurs. They say time heals all wounds, but I don't think that's the case. It's more of the fact it pushes the pain back because we push it back ourselves. It allows us to move on in life, and forces us to look forwards. Bakura never learned how to do that.
"You live in the past too much, yami." I say.
"I don't belong in this time."
"Are you happy?"
He turns to me. "What kind of question"-
"Just answer the question." I say, cutting him off. Way back when I'd never have done that, but now I know that Bakura won't hurt me.
He looks out at his children and the other's playing. He closes his eyes. "Yes." He replies.
"Then you belong here." I say.
"Ryou…"
"Yami, I know it's hard, but you can't keep beating yourself up for what happened. Yugi doesn't blame you. None of us do." I say.
"I know, but I just…"
"I know, yami, I know."
XXXXXXXXX
[Marik's POV]:
"We sure have some epic kids don't we?" I ask Yugi. We're sitting on the closed in patio section of Kaiba's mansion watching our kids play. Yugi's sitting on my lap feedin me strawberries covered in whipped cream.
"Most definitely." Yugi giggles as I suck the strawberry right out of his hand.
"Ooo someone has a mouth on them."
I laugh. "Would you like me to use this mouth on you then?" I purr nibbling on his ear.
"M-Marik." He half giggles-half moans.
"You know and I thought Bakura was horney." Yami chuckles.
"Well hello there, Pharaoh. Did you come to watch a free freak show?" I smirk.
"Not quite." He laughs. "Just needed to get out of that sun."
"Yugi, get up. I'm going to go bother Bakura." I say.
"Umm…okay?" he says getting off of me.
XXXXXXX
[Yugi's POV]:
"So, how's the married life?" I tease.
"Oh, it's quite wonderful. Unless you have kids terrorizing each other and a husband who has the sex drive of a rabbit and the heart of an old man then things can get rather…difficult." Yami replies.
"No doubt. Try having Yuma running about and Marik's hands down your pants every five seconds." I giggle.
Yami looks at me. "Yugi, you know you egg him on."
"Yes, but that's beside the point!" I exclaim.
He chuckles, shaking his head.
"Anyways, how have things been?" I ask, seriously.
"I'm happy." He replies. "That's what counts, right?"
"Indeed. And Bakura?"
"He's happy too." He smiles.
I smile. "Good."
We sit in silence for a moment enjoying the view of everyone having fun.
"I can't believe it's already been three years." I say.
"I know. I never in a million years would have dreamt that my life could be so wonderful." Yami says. "I couldn't ask for a better one."
"And just think, three years ago today you made the decision not to destroy Bakura. Think of how your life would have turned out if you'd decided to destroy him." I say.
Yami closes his eyes. "I can't."
"I know." I say taking a sip of my drink. "And it's because you love him."
Yami looks over at Bakura who's talking to Ryou and Marik then turns back to me.
"I do." He whispers. "I've always loved him."
"We all knew that, Yami." I giggle.
He sighs.
XXXXXXXXXX
[Joey's POV]:
If someone told me that I'd be married to Seto Kaiba three years ago I would have laughed in their face. Now, I'm married and have two sons. Great kids. Smart too.
"I'm surprised you're not swimming." Seto says, typing away on his laptop.
It's Kite's eleventh birthday and we decided to throw him a giant pool party with the slip n' slide, pool, the works! We had a cook out which Ry insisted on cooking for us. Man, he sure knows how to cook!
"Well, I just ate. So gotta wait an hour." I shrug. "'Sides, I wanted to see whatcha were up to."
"Work." He says.
"Do ya ever give yaself a break?" I ask.
"No and that's why he'll die before he's thirty." Bakura chuckles coming up to us.
Seto stands. "You'll die long before me if you keep fucking the way you do. Everyone can hear you screaming for miles!" he smirks.
"At least I don't sound like a howler monkey!" Bakura smirks.
"Oh that does it!" Seto exclaims walking over to Bakura. "Your stupid ass is going to drown tonight."
"Not before I drown you first, rich bitch!" Bakura says tackling my lover in the water.
I stand up, watching the scene as they fight in the water, trying to drown each other.
"Guys, stop it!" I exclaim.
"Wow, those two really do hate each other." Duke scoffs walking up along with T. They have some food, which I instantly grab some as they set their plates down. "You know there's food over here, idiot." He snaps pointing across the pool to a table with food. "You don't need to steal mine."
"Oh but yours is so much better, Dukey!" I laugh.
"Whatever." He scoffs.
"So what are those two fighting about now?" T asks taking a bite of his chicken wing.
"Same ol same ol." I shrug.
"They've gotten rather close." Duke says. "Don't' you find that disturbing."
"Baku is in love with Yams and Seto's in love with me." I say. "'Sides, Seto needs a friend."
"I guess." Duke shrugs.
I watch as Bakura and Seto come up, laughing. It's amazing how both of them have changed. The two that used to be so isolated. Seto suffering behind his work and Bakura suffering within his murderous rampages. It was Yams and I dat truly saved them.
No, dat's a lie. They saved us too.
XXXXXXXXX
[Bakura's POV]:
The party went quite well. Kite got a lot of great gifts. I got him a knife, but then Kaiba took it from him and threatened to end my existence if I ever gave his son a knife again. He's such an idiot sometimes. Still, it was fun dunking him in the pool. He really needs to loosen up, and I'm just the man to do it…oh and Joey…if you know what I mean.
Today the gang and I are going to visit Mr. Muto's grave. The kids are well-aware of who he is. Though, they don't know that he gave me his heart. I'd have to explain everything and they're too young for that. We line up. Some of us have flowers, others some gifts. We allow the kids to go first, they place gifts along the grave.
As I watch everyone, it only saddens me more. Yami wraps his arms around me.
"You're doing great, love." He whispers.
"I have to for the kids." I say.
"Hmm."
We stand in silence for a while, watching everyone put gifts down. Mai takes the kids away and each of us take turns to talk to Mr. Muto. Yugi goes first. Tears spilling down his face. I know I am the cause of his pain and I wished I could make it go away.
"Grandpa," he sniffs. My heart clenches as he speaks. "We've been doing really well. Most of us are married now and have adopted kids from an orphanage. Marik and I take care of the Game Shop since Bakura and Yami moved out. We're doing quite well….and I hope you are too. I love you and miss you." He says setting the card down as well.
He stands up and the rest of them go. I don't' say anything as I listen to everyone's exchange to the man. Yami senses my uneasiness, but doesn't press it. Finally, it's our turn. Yami goes first, walking to the grave. He mutters a few thank yous, sorrys and I love yous as well as I long speech about how he'd been lost if it weren't for him then he places a Duel Monster's card on the tombstone as well and stands up shakily.
I walk up to him, rubbing his back in comfort. "Are you okay?" I ask trying my best to compose myself.
"Y-yes." He says. "I'm fine."
I look at him. "Let me talk to him alone." I say.
Yami gives me a look, but doesn't protest. He signals everyone to leave the arena and they do. After everyone's out of sight, I let my true colours show and drop to my knees, sobbing.
"Mr. Muto. I-I'm so sorry. Because of me you're gone. I know that Yugi doesn't hate me, but he should. You're the only family he had left and like a fool I took it away from him! I shouldn't have…we're all in this miss because of me. I'm so sorry…I wished I could take it back…" I choke burying my face in my hands, sobbing uncontrollably. I haven't cried this much since my family died…
I reach in my pocket shakily, grabbing the card from it. I stare at it and place it on the tombstone next to the other cards. I reach out to trace the engravings of the tombstone. I stand up shakily. I know the others are near. I can feel their presence lingering about. I'm sure most of them are crying from the scene. It doesn't matter.
I close my eyes and take a deep breathe. I need to move on. I need to live my life and be happy just as Mr. Muto wanted me to. Just as my family would want me to. No more looking back, only looking ahead.
I smile down at the grave. "Thank you, Solomon, for giving me your heart." I whisper. "And now, I'm going to return the favour with a part of mine."
The Change of Heart.
XXXXXXXXX
The end.
I want to thank everyone for the support and dedication for this story. It's been a long journey and I'm very proud of the way it turned out. There were so many tears and laughter. The relationships were a rollercoaster. I have to say, doing my first Puppyshipping lemon was a bit unsettling, but I believe I nailed that sucker.
If you recall, somewhere way back in the olden age when Mai was trying to get to the bottom of Wheeler problem in he solon she mentions she can't have kids...that's where the kids come in...The kids that I use (for those of you who don't know) are from Zexal. Which, I am a HUGE fan of. Quattro LITERALLY looks liek he could be Yami's and Bakura's child. (Not to mention he has a mix of their personalities too). So I just had to use him and his brothers.
I used 'Loved me Back to Life' by Celine Dion in this story a lot because that's what happened. Bakura was lost in the darkness and it took not only Yami's love, but everyone else's to bring him out of the darkness.
Bakura dying. It was a mix of ideas between my girlfriend and I really. The whole Zorc takes over Bakura's body was her idea. We constantly talked about how we'd get rid of Zorc and ultimately this is what we came up with...
Mr. Muto dying. That was TOTALLY my idea. I never even discussed it with her or anyone for that matter. It just sort of happened. I can't have a totally happy ending now can I?
Anyways, so the next story that I'll be posting up is Hostage. It is a Casteshipping story which means we get to see the Thief King again! (YES! a;fa;fafsf) My girlfriend and I will be writing it together and when it's posted we'll give you the details of it. And here's a sneak peek at the awesomeness that'll fill your hearts and give me like lots of reviews! :D.
[Malik's POV]:
I ran out of the tombs. I could tell some of the guards were still after me but I didn't care. I kept on running and I wasn't looking where I was going.
Suddenly I slam into someone and we both fall down rolling a bit until we splash into the Nile. I hear some of the soldiers coming so I push both of us under the water. After a short time I gasp for air and so does the other person. I look at him and he glares at me.
"What the fuck, fool?!" the white haired boy hisses. "Stupid asshole you could have killed me!"
"I was only trying to make sure the damn guards didn't find me," I snarl back. I didn't want to deal with those people. "If you hadn't been standing in the way I wouldn't have hit you."
"I can stand here if I please!" the boy shouts. 'That is my cliff!"
"Your… you're spouting crap right now," I snap at him. I really didn't want to deal with him.
"The only crap I'm sprouting is the fact that you're in my territory, so get out fool!" the boy hisses drawing his dagger out. "I'll only warn you one more time."
"Don't tell me what to do," I hiss back pulling out my own dagger.
He smirks and lunges at me. I dodge landing on the land. He gets onto the land as well he starts to circle me a bit. I watch him not taking my eyes off him for even a second. After a few seconds he attacks me again.
That, my friends, will be happening in the very first chapter and I do hope to post this story up soon. This scene was written by my girlfriend since she is doing Malik's POV in this story. Anyways, I do hope y'all enjoyed this story and thank you again for the support. I'll update something ASAP! Thanks guys! Love ya! *hugs* Review! :D
