"That was fast," said Seto as he climbed out. Heart beating a little quick, Seto opened the gate and walked to the front door. He rang the doorbell and it was soon opened by an older woman. The memories flashed in his mind and Seto recognized Cheri's mother.

            "Seto!" she beamed. "Please, come in. Cheri will be down in a few moments."

            The CEO walked into the house. "Thank you, Mrs.-"

            "Now, Seto, I've told you a dozen times that you may call me Rose."

            "I know," Seto smiled, "but it's a form of respect."

            Laughing, Rose headed for the kitchen. "Shall I get you anything?"

            "Nothing right now." Seto watched her go through the doorway and then he looked around. Everything looked so alien to him but he knew what it all was. Footsteps coming down the stairs caught his attention, and Seto turned.

            Cheri reached the bottom step and stopped. The two just stared at each other for the longest time until Cheri ran straight into Seto's arms, hugging each other tightly. Seto pulled away, holding Cheri's face in his hands before pulling her into a deep kiss.

            Rose peeked out slightly from the kitchen and smiled at the sight of her daughter and the young millionaire. She went back into the kitchen, folded her hands together and looked up. "I know this is selfish," she whispered, "but please may they get married."

            ~Do you think we've cracked?~

            ~Spirits don't go insane, Bakura.~

            ~Heh, that's a nice phrase coming from you,~ the former thief looked at Marik.

            "Here we go again," Ryou sighed.

            Malik nodded as he stretched his arms up and placed his hands behind his head. "If you two would kindly shut up for five minutes," Malik looked at the spirits, "maybe we can figure out what's going on."

            ~Those so-called memories we have now are delusion,~ Bakura grumbled, ~our desires of wanting Keriam and Cheri to stay in this world.~

            ~Logical,~ said Marik. ~But all four of us at once? I know we share links but even this has to be more than just a coincidence.~

            "But you know, none of us wanted them to leave least of all us," Ryou spoke up.

            "And I seriously doubt with their combined powers they could stay even though they wanted to," Malik added.

            ~That's it!!~ Everyone nearly jumped when Marik shouted. ~That's it! It has to be!~

            ~What the hell are you shouting about?~ Bakura snapped as he felt Ryou's heart race.

            ~Isis! She was there when we said our good-byes and she saw how it would effect all of us if they left our world for good! She must've had a hand in helping them stay here!~

            "Would she have that much power to do so?" Malik asked.

            ~Maybe not alone... Ra, Osiris, Anubis treated the girls as if they were their daughters in a way and Isis was their mother. As parents they would want to keep their children happy,~ Bakura said after a moment of thought.

            "Hey, guys!" Yugi's voice reached their ears, and they saw the shorter boy waving as he, Tea, and Tristen quickly made their way over.

            "Question," said Malik. "Do you by chance remember things a little differently?"

            "Yes, we do," Tristen answered with a smile.

            Ryou's eyes brightened. "So, they're here, right?"

            Tea didn't say a word, only smiled. They waited a little while, and then Yugi said, "Look!"

            Joey was walking towards them, holding hands with Keriam.

            "Keriam!" Tea cried and ran to her Sister. The two girls embraced, laughing happily as tears started to form.

            Malik hugged Keriam when she and Tea moved away. Marik took over while his light was still hugging her and he picked Keriam up and spun her around.

            "Ack! Put me down!" she yelped, laughing at the same time.

            "I never thought we'd see you again." Marik set her on her feet and Keriam then hugged Ryou, Bakura, and Tristen.

            "Me too," Keriam wiped her eyes.

            "When we woke up we each remembered something a bit differently," Tristen smiled. "I was confused when I remembered how we meet."

            "So was I but I didn't question it I'm just so happy!" Tea smiled, resisting the urge to start crying tears of joy.

            "Where's Cheri?" Ryou asked as he looked down the streets.

            Keriam giggled. "I'll give you three guesses."

            They saw the limo pull up to the edge of the park. The driver stepped out and went to the other door, opening it. Judging by the look on his face, how quickly his expression changed, and his movements told the group that he had interrupted a slight intimate moment. Seto soon emerged from the limo, and he helped Cheri step out. The couple started walking towards the group as the limo drove away.

            Cheri broke into a full sprint as did Keriam and Tea. The three girls hugged each other tightly, laughing and crying together.

            "We'll be back in a few hours. Anything else, girls?"

            "No, Mom," Tea said. "We're fine. Good night."

            "Good night, Mrs. Gardner," Cheri and Keriam said in unison.

            "Good night." Tea's mother walked to the front door and left.

            Tea stood up and locked the door. "Okay, sleepover underway. Now what?"

            "Well, since the guys--except Seto--are at Tristen's house," Keriam grinned, "why don't we call them up and have some fun over the phone?"

            "Only if we call Seto first and have him use his three-way-calling," said Cheri.

            "The phone is yours," Tea waved to the end table.

            "Whee!!" Cheri squealed in delight as she fairly bounced to the phone. She wore her favorite pajamas of pants and long sleeve shirt of white with images of pizzas, coke bottles, and napkins all over with fuzzy white cat slippers. Smiling at her friends she dialed Seto's number. On the third ring the line was picked up.

            "Kaiba," came the immediate response.

            "Guess who," she smiled, sitting down on the floor with Tea and Keriam.

            "Aren't you at Tea's house?" he asked.

            Cheri could hear the smile in his voice. "Yes, but I need you to do me a favor. Would you please call Tristen's house?"

            Seto was quiet for a moment, but then he told Cheri to wait as he placed her on hold and called Tristen's house. Once the connection went through, everyone was on speaker phone.

            "Hello!" Keriam said happily. "It's your favorite goddess-like trio calling to cheer you up this evening!"

            "So who's Urd, Belldandy, and Skuld?" Joey asked. "I hope you're Belldandy, Keriam."

            "I'll be Belldandy for you," she said then dropped her voice to a sultry tone, "and a lot more if you let me." Oh, to see the look on his face right now. Along with everyone else's.

            "You gonna use the spiked collar and leash on him?" Cheri asked.

            "WHAT???!!!" several voices yelled.

            There was a pause and then Joey asked, "A hentai pic?!"

            "Thanks, Marik," Keriam grunted. "You too, Cheri."

            "Well, you have to control that mutt somehow," said Seto.

            "Hey!" Joey yelled.

            "And I guess, Seto," Keriam said, "that Cheri can use handcuffs to control you."

            "You...!" Cheri gritted.

            "Hmm, that would be an interesting sight," Tea grinned. "Seto naked on the bed with his hands bound to the headboard, and Cheri as the Bondage Queen of Hearts."

            A small crash was heard as Seto dropped his mug, and a few snickers from the other line filtered through.

            "Okay, Marik, it's funny, but you can stop laughing," said Malik.

            "Timber!" Joey yelled. "You okay, Bakura?"

            "You know that pic Keriam mention?" Ryou said as he started to laugh. "Seeing them like that... No, wait, Bakura, I was only kidding. Bakura! Don't!"

            "And he's off!" Tristen said as he watched Ryou run around the room.

            This time everyone laughed as they heard faint yelling in the background.

            "Oh this is just too much!!" Joey laughed, nearly falling over.

            "You want to know what's too much? A certain boy dressed as the Dark Magician Girl!"

            Now Tea laughed as she wiped at her eyes. "Dare I ask who that person was?"

            "Who else! Keriam's favorite puppy!!"

            Joey made a very realistic yelp as he hit the floor with a thump, blushing brightly as the guys roared with laughter. "H-Hey I am not into drag!!"

            "Ooh but you have such nice legs!" Keriam cooed while trying to control her laughter.

            Cheri tried very hard to breathe but found it nearly impossible. "T-Tea there was this really nice picture I'm sure you would have loved!" she managed to say as she controlled her breathing. "Yugi... as an adorable neko-lynx! Just think you can pet him all day long and curl up with him at night."

            "Yeah," Keriam grinned. "Pet him, and stroke him while you hold him close to your bosoms."

            Yugi felt his face turn red as Yami laughed from inside the Puzzle.

            "Hey, Yugi," Keriam went on, "you don't need a car. You and Tea can easily turn over each other's engines." She yelped when Tea whacked her with a pillow from the couch.

            A thud from the other line told them that Yugi had fallen to the floor.

            "Is he okay?" Tea asked.

            "Uh, I think so," said Malik.

            "I think he needs some tension to be released," Bakura said now in control of Ryou's body.

            "Sorry, Yugi, Tea's over here," Cheri said, "and her mother said no boys over. Oh Seto, I wish I was with you right now."

            "Cheri why are you rubbing it like that?" Keriam asked.

            All the boys froze.

            "Because it's so fuzzy," Cheri answered in a child-like tone.

            "It's a slipper for crying out loud! Not a real cat!"

            She continued to pet the faux fur. "And your point?"

            On the other side of the phone everyone just about face-vaulted.

            "Now what were you boys thinking of?" Keriam asked with a smirk.

            "Nothing!" Tristen said quickly as he sat back on the sofa.

            "Riiight... Boys!" Tea sighed dramatically.

            "They have they have their good points."

            "You mean other than making a great pillow?" Cheri cried out as pillows were thrown at her.

            "Only you would like to use Kaiba as a pillow," Keriam smiled then ducked a flying pillow.

            "Because he makes a great pillow!" Grabbing a fluffy pillow she whapped her friend with it. "Ha! I am the Queen of Pillow Fights!"

            "And it's time to overthrow the Queen! Charge!" Tea and Keriam laughed as they picked up a pillow and began to whap each other. The only thing the guys could hear was laughter, light screaming, but then came an audible rip and the sound of something popping open. "Whoops."

            "Oh shoot there goes the last button," Cheri sighed.

            "I told you to sew more buttons onto it," Keriam sighed. "Hey don't fling your shirt at me!"

            "Pffffft!" came the answer.

            "Well at least the pillow was old but um, Cheri? Why do you sleep in a bra?" Tea asked.

            "For some reason I feel better in one. That and the last time I didn't my uncle's dog came in, pulled the blankets off my bed and I flashed my family. Never again."

            "Hey Seto, I bet you're mad you missed that one," Keriam smirked.

            "Oh yeah," Cheri glared, "and what about the dare you took to stand in the window for ten seconds in just your underwear?"

            "Unlike your cousin's best friend, at least I had the guts to do it!" Keriam said. "And the breasts!"

            "I know, Gretchen's flat-chested."

            "Good think we're not!" Tea said. "Right, Yugi?"

            "Tea!" her boyfriend just about shrieked.

            ~Maybe you should have taken pictures,~ Yami laughed from within the puzzle.

            "I knew it Yami! Is a grade A pervert!" Joey laughed.

            Cheri smiled as she pulled a spare shirt on and sighed. "Hey I'm hungry."

            "Oh no now you sound like Joey!!"

            "I do not!! I eat with manners."

            "Hey!!" Joey yelled, "I have manners!!"

            "Live a wolverine," Seto spoke.

            "Oh yeah!"

            "Okay, guys," Keriam intervened, "we're going to eat, and we'll see you tomorrow. Nighty night!"

            "Good night!" all the guys at Tristen's house said and the phone clicked.

            "Still there, Seto?" Cheri asked.

            "I'm here," came the reply.

            Cheri picked up the receiver. "Thank you for calling them."

            "Granted, I've never had such an odd phone conversation before," said Seto. "I did find it a bit amusing at points."

            "Did you? Okay, I'm gonna go. Sweet dreams."

            "Oh, I most certainly will. Cheri?"

            "Yes."

            "I am defiantly going to make it a priority to get you to stop sleeping with a bra," said the CEO.

            Cheri grinned. "I'd love for you to try."

            Seto laughed. "Good night, Cheri."

            "Good night, Seto."

            "Good night, Seto!" Keriam and Tea mimicked and Cheri hung up the phone.

            The girls made something to eat, cleaning up their mess before going to the living room and made themselves comfortable in the pile of sleeping bags, blankets, and pillows. Flipping the TV on hey settled down to watch movies and have a good time. By the time Mr. and Mrs. Gardner came home they found all three girls fast asleep. The two parents smiled at each other as Mr. Gardner turned the TV off and took the plates to the kitchen. Mrs. Gardner covered the girls, wishing them a good night. As they headed up the stairs to their bedroom they shut off the lights. The girls didn't stir but had the two adults waited they would have maybe noticed a sign appearing on their brows.

            The wind blew the sand across the steps to the temple. Keriam, Tea, and Cheri walked side by side up the steps leading to the massive door. It opened on its own and the three girls walked inside.

            Isis stood in the center of the temple; she smiled at the Sisters of the Moon. "Are you happy, my daughters?"

            "How did you do it?" Cheri asked. "I mean, I know you can but..."

            Isis laughed softly. "When I took you from the Shadow Realm to return you and Keriam to the world you had been born into, I saw how much you and the others wanted you to stay here. But deep in your hearts, you two were torn between staying here and returning to your families. Ra, Osiris, Anubis and I talked; and we decided that for you to have both, we would have to combine both worlds."

            "So that's why we have different memories," said Keriam. "Of what happened before Cheri and I were brought here, and what happened if we had already lived here."

            "But we still know of what really happened," Cheri said softly. "Our memories may have changed but we're the only ones who see things as different."

            "Would you have it any other way?" Isis asked.

            She smiled and shook her head. "No. I--We wouldn't."

            "Mother Isis... what can we do to thank you for this precious gift?" Tea asked ass he struggled not to cry.

            The goddess just smiled. "Just live and cherish every moment with your loved ones. That all we want for you three," she said softly.

            The three girls looked at each other, smiling, then ran to Isis and hugged the goddess. Isis was shocked at their actions but she just smiled and hugged them.

            "Always remember what I said," Isis released them. "I am very proud of you, my daughters."

            "Thank you, Mother," Keriam said.

            "And one more thing," Isis held up her hands and a bright light surrounded the Sisters of the Moon. "For you to use for your victory celebration. I am certain that you will know what to do."

            "We will," said Tea.

            "Mother Isis, thank you again," Cheri said.

            Isis nodded and disappeared.

            "I think this calls for a celebration," Keriam smiled.

            "And who better to enjoy it with than our soul mates," Cheri nodded in agreement.

            "Then what are we waiting for?" Tea asked. "Let's make this a night we'll never forget in a hundred life times."

            "But we have to bring everyone who was there," said Keriam. "It wouldn't be right if they were left out."

            "Of course!" Cheri beamed, and looked around. "I say we do a little redecorating before we bring the boys here."

            "Good idea," Tea winked.

            The next morning, all six young men plus three spirits met at one of Kaiba's Virtual Duel Monster test labs as requested by the girls. They didn't give many details and waited until everyone was there. Fortunately, the lab was empty--Seto had given them the week off.

            The guys looked at Keriam, Tea, and Cheri, who were perched on a bench with cute smiles on their faces.

            "Okay, what's going on?" Joey asked.

            Keriam slid off the bench and walked over to the boys. "Isis spoke to us last night," she began, "and told us what she and the other gods did for us to stay here and why we have two sets of memories for this lifetime."

            "She saw how happy Keriam and Cheri were here," said Tea as she got off the bench. "But she also knew that they didn't want to leave their families in the other world. So both worlds were combined for them to have both."

            "In celebration of our victory over Set," Cheri moved off the bench, "Isis has given us a gift to use."

            "What kind of gift?" Seto asked, slightly nervous.

            "Before you know, will Yami, Marik and Bakura please step out of your lights' bodies?" Tea asked.

            The three spirits did as she requested but looked at her for a moment. ~Mind telling us what you have planned?~ Marik asked.

            "You'll see," smiled Tea, then the girls moved so that they were standing around the boys in a triangle. The Sisters of the Moon raised their hands.

            "Fasten your belts, boys!" Keriam grinned. "Nah, don't bother, your clothes aren't coming with us."

            "WHAT?!"

            There was a bright flash of light and the feeling of hot wind blowing by.

            Yami opened his eyes and his mouth almost fell to the floor. He was sitting on a golden throne inside an Egyptian palace. But it wasn't just a throne. It was his throne. His palace.

            Looking down at himself, Yami was wearing ancient Egyptian clothing of a pharaoh. Gold bands adorned his wrists and he touched his forehead, feeling the light crown with the Eye of Horus.

            "All hail to the Pharaoh!" Tea said. Yami looked to his left, smiling at Tea who was sitting on a plush litter wearing her Sister of the Moon temple attire and Yugi was sitting next to her, also wearing Egyptian clothing. Tristen was sitting next to them on a few large pillows, wearing what looked to be a guard's outfit.

            Yami turned to his left; he grinned at Cheri and Seto--or should he say Seth as the CEO was dressed as the High Priest yet again. Seto and Cheri were sitting on a large doubled gold chair. Ryou and Bakura were next to them on several pillows.

            Keriam and Joey were lying comfortably on a large litter, with Joey's head on Keriam's lap. Malik and Marik were on pillows themselves and Yami couldn't help chuckling as their outfits, practically mirrored each other.

            "I have to say it," Joey spoke up, "you girls have great taste."

            "We do our best," Cheri smiled, leaning against her love.

            "Keriam and Cheri did most of the design, I just added some help here and there," Tea smiled as well.

            "Um this is a nice and everything but why have you brought us here?" Tristen asked, marveling over the outfits and palace. This was much better than the movies he's seen about Egypt!

            "Homesick," Keriam smiled as she picked up a bunch of grapes and held them above Joey's mouth. He bit a grape off and chewed.

            Cheri looked up at Seto. "How about a little entertainment?"

            "What kind of entertainment?" he asked.

            Smiling, Cheri clapped her hands and several female dancers lightly ran to the center of the room. "That kind," she said and leaned closer, whispering, "Private entertainment is later, my High Priest."

            He smiled and took her hand in his own, squeezing tightly. "I cannot wait, my Temple Priestess."

            The dancers moved in graceful and fluid movements, they're bodies swaying as the large group watched. Keriam continued to feed Joey grapes, Tea and Yugi held one another close, whispering to one another. Cheri leaned back into Seto's chest, keeping his arms wrapped around her. Bakura and Marik were enjoying themselves as they watched the dancers. Ryou and Malik were having a good time though and ignored their yamis' teasing. Yami just watched, remembering back when he had entertainment like this nearly everyday when he was pharaoh. It felt good to be home.

            Tristen remained quiet as he watched the dancers, impressed with their movements. "Oh no!" he yelped, causing everyone to look at him. "I promised Serenity I'd take her to the movies today!"

            "We'll send you back Tristen," said Tea.

            "Oh Tristen!" Joey called sweetly. "Try anything on my sister and you're a dead man."

            "Promise to Osiris, I will be a gentleman," Tristen saluted the blonde.

            "Tell Serenity we said hi," Cheri said. Then the Sisters murmured a few words and Tristen disappeared.

            "Can he come back here?" Malik asked.

            "It's just for the day," said Keriam. "Once you leave, that's it."

            "Too bad for Tristen," Bakura said and rested his hands behind his head. Looking at the dancers, he grinned. "And more for us."

            "Hentai," Ryou sighed.

            "Is that all you ever think about, thief?" Yami asked as he rested his chin in his hand.

            "You rather I think about ways to get revenge on you like I used to?" he asked back.

            "I thought revenge was my job?" Marik asked as his light jabbed him in the side with his elbow.

            Cheri giggled at them. "You two are crazy you know?"

            "Let's leave 'crazy' out of this," said Keriam.

            Bakura just shrugged. "Forgive me for having urges," he said, "but it has been five thousand years for me."

            "I'm surprised that between robbing tombs and running from guards," Yugi said, "you actually found the time for intimate company."

            Everyone started to chuckle as Bakura's eyes narrowed in annoyance.

            "Speaking of intimate company where does that leave us?" Marik asked as he turned to the girls. "Before we all go back I know that you three will be busy."

            Joey smirked over in his direction. "Is that jealousy I hear from you?"

            Malik looked at his yami. "Don't even think about starting a fight with him."

            "He started it!"

            Keriam placed her hand over Joey's mouth and shook her head.

            "We took you five into consideration," said Tea, and the guys looked at her.

            "This is ancient Egypt," Cheri smiled, "and the harem has been reinstated, my Pharaoh."

            "Has it, now?" Yami raised an eyebrow with a grin.

            "You are going to share." Bakura wasn't asking--he was demanding.

            Yami closed his eyes and smiled. "If you four wish to."

            "Uh, that won't be necessary!" said Ryou; his face was bright red.

            Bakura looked at his light. "Please, you're ready to-"

            "Bakura!" Cheri yelled. "Leave him alone. If he's not ready-"

            "What? Don't tell me that you think he hasn't--he already had."

            Everyone's mouths fell open as they looked at Ryou now staring at the dancers and frozen like a statue.

            "Wow," said Marik. "When?"

            "None of your business," Ryou hissed through his teeth.

            "When we went back to England and he met up with a girl from childhood," Bakura smiled, "they had a few pints unbeknownst to the adults and what line did you say... 'We may not be in Ireland but lick my-'"

            "THAT'S IT!" Ryou jumped up and grabbed a spear from the wall. Bakura quickly scrambled to his feet and bolted from the room with Ryou in pursuit.

            Marik couldn't help but laugh and nearly fell over as he leaned too far back and so was everyone else. "Just don't kill him, Ryou!!" the blonde yami called out.

            "If he comes back alone then we worry," Yami laughed and further relaxed.

            They continued to sit there, watching the entertainment before one by one the Sisters went to one of the many rooms of the palace. It looked easy to get lost within such a massive place but the girls knew where everything was so there was no chance of getting lost.  Malik, Marik, and Yami decided to wait for Ryou and Bakura to come back. And to make sure the young white haired youth didn't really injury his darker half.

            "I would have never pictured Bakura to run from Ryou," Cheri admitted as she and Seto headed to his chambers.

            "Can you blame him?" he smiled at her. "Honestly I think it was about time."

            She wrinkled her nose at him before stopping at a set of large doors. "We're here." Pushing the doors open they went inside.

            The room was huge, similar to Kaiba's bedroom except it had a large balcony where silk curtains fluttered in the breeze. Large pillars were painted with images of dragons with blue eyes. In fact, the colors of the room were a soft sapphire blue. "I designed the room like the one back home just with some changes."

            "It's perfect, especially with you here with me." Pulling her close he titled her face to his own and kissed her deeply. Cheri followed with one of her own, smiling happily. One of her greatest fantasies was now true.

            "Wow..." Yugi looked around the room in amazement. "Tea, you should be an interior decorator."

            She laughed lightly, watching Yugi explore the room she had created for him. It had a reddish tone, decorated with paintings on the walls of the gods of Egypt and several Duel Monsters that Yugi had in his deck. The two main ones were Slypher the Sky Dragon and Exodia the Forbidden One.

            "Only if the person wants their room decorated with an Egyptian theme," Tea said and sat on the bed.

            "Well you've certainly made me happy," he smiled and sat next to her. "During the last battle... I actually thought I was going to lose you. I would have given up everything just so you could live again."

            "Oh Yugi..." Reaching up she stroked his cheek before leaning down and kissed him softly, showing him just how much he meant to her. "I will never leave you. Not in this life time, or the next."

            The short teenager smiled as he embraced her tightly. The young woman pulled him onto her lap, petting his hair. She could stay like this all night but slowly it turned into something more. Kissing one another softly they laid back on the bed, holding on another close as they whispered words of love to one another.

            "I wonder if Ryou kicked Bakura's butt."

            "That would make your day, wouldn't it?"

            Joey smiled up at Keriam; she sat on the long bench with Joey stretched out and his head resting on her lap. "That would make my month," he said.

            Smiling, Keriam leaned over and gave Joey a quick kiss. "Sit up."

            He did as she asked and Keriam stood from the bench and walked to the center of the room. She turned and faced him. "Close your eyes."

            Joey closed his eyes and placed both hands over them. "What are you doing?"

            "You'll see," Keriam answered. She was silent for awhile then said, "Okay."

            Joey lowered his hands and opened his eyes. His breath caught in his throat as he stared at Keriam, now wearing an outfit similar to the ones the dancers had, only it was a little shorter and the color was the same green as the dress she had worn to the Fall River Dance. In her hand was a long golden, thin silk scarf. Joey blinked, remembering that Theliane had worn this for Kasuyan.

            "Shall I dance for you, my lord?" Keriam asked.

            "Please do," Joey managed to say.

            Keriam shut her eyes for a moment, and then Joey faintly heard music coming from somewhere. His thoughts on the music were soon forgotten as Keriam began to dance.

            She moved as graceful and fluid as water, remembering how beautiful she looked when he first saw her dance. It wasn't long before he stood and gathered her in his arms. Her eyes were shining and he smiled as he began to touch her. "Now that we found each other you can dance for me every night," he told her.

            "Just for you, my Silver Wolf Knight; just for you," she smiled, slowly wrapping the golden scarf around his neck.

            Smiling he picked her up and took her to the bed. Tonight would be a repeat of the first night they proclaimed their love for each other for the rest of time. Joey wouldn't have it any other way.

            Marik couldn't stop smirking at the red mark that now graced Bakura's forehead just under the hairline near the left temple. Apparently, Ryou did have a mean streak when provoked--most likely he got that trait from his darker half. Malik and Marik decided to go off and find the two. When they did, it had been the moment Ryou cracked Bakura's head with the spear, which knocked the darker persona to the floor. Marik had burst out laughing and Malik quickly got the spear away from Ryou before he did anymore damage to Bakura. Not that he didn't deserve a slap or two...

            Bakura glared at his former partner as he reached up to lightly touch the mark. "Marik. Say a word and I'll rip your tongue out."

            "Hey I'm not the one that got smacked in the head with a spear," he grinned broadly.

            Malik smiled and patted his friend on the shoulder. "Ryou, remind me to never get on your bad side," he said.

            The young man flushed and looked to the side. "How would you like it if someone talk about your sex life?" he huffed, still a bit upset.

            "He doesn't have one to talk about," said Marik. "Why do you think I'm trying to get him alone with one of the girls?"

            Malik glared at his other. "Look who's talking!"

            "That's right!" Bakura smirked. "Malik hasn't, which means you haven't either!"

            "And your point?" Marik asked, as if trying to make it look that Bakura wasn't annoying him.

            "Oh that is it. Where's that spear?" the thief growled, looking around.

            "Hey no more fighting! We're suppose to be enjoying ourselves!"

            "Yeah right. You really think pharaoh is gonna share his harem with us?" the dark blonde snorted.

            "Does that answer your question?" Walking towards them were four lovely ladies, dressed in clinging silk that left almost nothing to the imagination. Their hair and faces were covered so only their eyes could be seen. Gold adorned their wrists, ankles with a matching belt resting on their hips. The guys could only stare and felt their blood rushing through their veins.

            "Whoa..." Marik growled. The four girls giggled and each went into a separate room. Marik grabbed Malik's arm and shoved him into the first room on the right. "He's young, naive, and not too sure of himself. Please, be gentle with him." After slamming the door, Marik ran over to the next one. "Do not bother me!" he hissed and shut the door.

            Ryou looked at Bakura. "Well?"

            "As much as I would love to interrupt his activities-"

            "Not that; which room are you taking?"

            Bakura's head quickly snapped around, facing his light. "I get to pick?!"

            "Only because this is a once in a lifetime gift," said Ryou.

            The former tomb raider was very surprised but he thought it over and was about to enter the third one but turned and nodded to Ryou. "Thanks."

            Ryou just smiled and nodded to him. "Have a good evening." Watching the door close he took a deep breathe and headed towards the fourth and final room. This certainly would be a gift well earned for everyone.

            "So are they enjoying the gift, you have given them?"

            Isis looked up at her husband, smiling as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Indeed they are. They deserved it after all they have been through."

            Osiris nodded and leaned his cheek against his wife's. "Your daughters are very remarkable, my beloved. You taught them well."

            "I couldn't have done it alone, husband," Isis looked into his eyes. "You helped me train our daughter."

            He smiled and kissed her softly. "May they all live long and happy lives together."
