((A long awaited sequel to Annoying Lama. Yuugi is 27. Marik is dark. Malik is light. All pairings remain the same. Yuugi/Bakura/Marik. Yami/Seto/Jou. Malik/Ryou. Anzu/Mai. Tarouka is Bakura, Malik, and Yuugi's last name.))

In the empty bar, just before opening hours, Yuugi's body caressed the pole as he wrapped himself around it. Though the music was jiving, and his body had a light coat of sweat he was thoroughly relaxed. He and his lovers had been back in Japan since yesterday afternoon. He was unsure who would be in the crowd tonight. He had hoped that a lot of the regulars from a year ago would still be just that, regulars. He was oblivious to his lovers setting up the bar.

Bakura's attention was on Yuugi even if he was busy wiping down the bar. He knew the recently opened bar in America would be a big success without them. This was home, and he was glad to be back. Not that he doubted Jack, but the place was still in amazing condition.

"I don't care what pole Yuugi uses it is the jeans with those moves that rile me up." Marik whispered into Bakura's ear before he proceeded to set the bar up with peanuts, mints, and napkins. To him he was home as long as he had his lovers. But, he was glad to be back in familiar settings.

"Well, well, well look who's come back." Jack chuckled, as he set up the chairs. "See you brought the star attraction back as well." He looked Yuugi over, and couldn't help but to whistle. The couple years away had turned a young man, into a man. Muscled, and toned, and not a damn inch of him damaged. He was just as perfect as when he'd left two years ago.

"We are a married trio. Never one without the other and our bond is even stronger now." Bakura grinned. "It is good to be back. We appreciated the letters, but it is nothing like the real thing." Nothing had really changed about Bakura or Marik.

"You're just saying that because sex only gets better." Marik directed a playful growl towards Bakura. "Yeah, Jack, thank you for the letters and updates. It was almost like receiving a little piece of home in the mail." He rubbed the back of neck. "Now let's hope it manages to stay as successful as when we were around."

"I'm sure the bar in America will do just fine because you know how to pick your staff." Jack said as he finished putting down the last of the chairs. He came around the bar, and got out a round of beers.

Yuugi grinned as he came into the conversation oblivious as to what had been said. He said stepping from stool to bar, and walking their direction. He'd perfected and become more provocative in his walk over the past years. "I hope one of those is mine." He said squatting down in front of them.

"Of course love." Bakura grinned taking a good long look at Yuugi. He still couldn't believe how much hotter he'd become over the past couple years, and with the added sheen of sweat. He took a quick swig of beer before handing the bottle to Yuugi.

"Thanks." Yuugi said without much expression. As he tipped the bottle his eyes closed. He made looking good into an art. He looked his lovers in the eyes with a giggly type expression as he sat down the half empty bottle. He was far from even being tipsy. "So, Jack are we ready to get this party started?" He said finally acknowledging Jack.

"Just about." Jack grinned as he reached under the bar. "You know you left something behind…" With Yuugi's clueless expression on the rise Jack sat the cowboy hat on the bar. "Not that you need it know, but I thought you might like it. You used it well a couple years back, and the crowd seemed to get a hoot out of it."

With a twinkle in Yuugi Yuugi's eyes, he burst out laughing as he picked up the hat. He couldn't help but to think back to how things had been, and how they had come to be. He hardly felt any anger. Those days were over even if the Llama was still an annoying 'brat' who didn't want to grow up and move on. "You've always got a good suggestion on the rise." He grinned, as he settled the hat onto his head.

"I'd almost forgotten that means of disguise." Marik said straightening his lover's extended bangs. He took the beer from Yuugi and took a swig for himself. "Thanks." He grinned even if he hadn't asked for anything.

Yuugi with a wicked grin pulled the both of them forward. "Just remember boys who you come home to because I never forget." He licked his lips, growling playfully. With that bit of tease he let them go, and stood up. "Open 'er up Jack." He said with a flick of his hip and a wave of his hand as he walked down the bar.
