Chapter 20

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When the plane landed, it was later afternoon in Domino. Ahmose was still dead asleep, even as people began to disembark from the plane.

Yami gently shook his companion. "Ahmose? Ahmose! Wake up it's time to get off!"

Ahmose flopped over against Yami, limply.

Yami frowned but then smirked. "I wish that vibrator was back...." he whispered. "On its high setting"

Ahmose groaned and furrowed his brow, moaning slightly and squirming. He twitched and moaned again, and his eyes fluttered as pink rose in his cheeks. Suddenly, his eyes flew open and he jumped. "GYAAAH!!!"

Yami cackled. "That woke you up." he said playing with the remote, which was in his hand. Making the vibrator switch from high to low, to high, giving Ahmose's prostate the WORST torments.

"Oh, Gods, Yami!!!" Ahmose gasped, squirming and trying not to thrash in his seat. "Yami, stop it! Get RID of it!!"

"I like it." Yami snickered. "You're so cute when you blush and squirm."

"Sir, are you alright?" The stewardess asked, sounding alarmed. She looked at Yami when Ahmose didn't answer. "Is he having a fit?! Should I call a paramedic?!"

Yami snickered. "Oh he's fine. He's alright, I dropped an icecube down his shirt to wake him up."

The woman nodded, smiling. "Oh, okay then!" She giggled, and left. Ahmose glared at Yami.

"Get. It. OUT!"

Yami laughed more. "Alright alright I wish it away!"

Ahmose squirmed again, then gave a releived sigh. "Let's go home..."

Yami snickered and kissed Ahmose's cheek. "I TRIED waking you up nicely."

Ahmose snorted. "My ass..." He mumbled, picking up his carry-on and heading off of the plane to find their luggage and the paintings.

Yami smiled. "Yes, I do love that part of you." Yami cooed following, carrying his own luggage. "But the best part is a tie between your slender hips, or those beautiful eyes..."

Ahmose's eyes widened and he blushed. Dramatically.

Yami smiled and kissed his cheek. "And here you think I'm all penis and no cassanova." he cooed.

Ahmose raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "... No you are COMPLETE Cassanova. That guy was a complete SLUT!!! He would bang any woman who would LET him. He was all about SEX without commitment!!!"

Yami blinked and laughed. "IF that's how you feel then I should start charging you." He snickered. "And while I'm at it, try someone ELSE!"

Ahmose frowned. "Okay, let me rephrase that. You'll say and do anything to get me into bed."

"Oh like it's hard to draw YOU into MY bed." Yami cooed walking behind Ahmose, and pulling him into a hug. "You enjoy it as much as me."

Ahmose sighed and smiled, wrapped an arm around Yami's waist as they walked. "Yes... but you CAN be annoying sometimes..."

"It's part of my charm." Yami offered chuckling. "Besides, if it weren't for me, you'd still be hiding behind clothes, and stuck behind books..."

Ahmose snorted. "And WHO is getting the better grades?" He asked, smirking.

Yami shook his head smiling. "Who's the one who'll always be here for you?" he cooed.

Ahmose smiled, and looked at Yami, with a rare look of tender affection in his eye. "I love you." He said, kissing Yami gently, for the first time, seeming not to care that they were in public and getting looks.

Yami kissed back and hugged Ahmose tightly. "I love you too Ahmose." he cooed proudly. "Forever."

Ahmose blushed. "Come on... let's get the luggage."

Yami nodded and they walked to baggage claim, where they each picked up baggage, and paintings.

They headed to the shuttle, which took them to Ahmose's car. They loaded their stuff into the trunk and headed home. "I just wanna get something to eat and go to bed... I still don't feel too good..."

Yami nodded. "We can pick up something on the way home..." he said softly. "You look dead on your feet."

Ahmose sighed. "I may even SKIP the food thing." Ahmose mumbled, and coughed. He was still flushed, and sweating a bit.

"You want me to drive?" Yami asked reaching up to feel Ahmose's forehead. "You've got a bit of a fever..."

Ahmose sighed. "I'm sure it's nothing. We all get sick from time to time." He said, then smirked. "I am NOT letting you drive MY car... can you even see over the steering wheel?"

Yami kicked Ahmose for that. "You ass of COURSE I can! I'm NOT Yugi!"

Ahmose smiled. "Heh..."

Yami glared and looked away. "Freakish giant." he grumbled.

Ahmose blinked. "Me? I'm a giant?"

"If I'm so short I cant drive your car then yes." Yami huffed, still sensitive about being...vertically challenged.

Ahmose snickered. "I'm not a giant. If anything, MARIK is..." He said softly, before coughing again.

Yami grumbled and looked out the window. "Ass." he pouted. "I'm not THAT short..."

Ahmose smiled. "No... it's just fun to get such a rise out of you."

"I'll make you pay in horrible ways." Yami warned glaring.

Ahmose smiled. "Yes, dear." He said, coughing again as he pulled onto the highway. He sighed, smiling. "Hmm... the acceleration is better... the repair shop did a good job..." He said, admiring the repaired hood of the car. Yami glanced at the damage that still remained on Ahmose's arm and forehead; fading scars from where the worst cuts were that needed stitches.

"Don’t get into anymore car crashes please." He requested once more. "A hunk of metal isn't worth what you're worth."

Ahmose would have blushed if it weren't for the fact that his fever already had him pink. "Um..." He said.

"We should probably check on Marik and Ryou...make sure they haven't gotten into too much trouble." Yami said after a moment.

Ahmose groaned. "Yami.... I'm TIRED!!!"

"You're the one who said Anubis was worried about him!" Yami argued.

Ahmose sighed. "Just... get your cell out of the glove box and CALL!!!"

Yami did, but when he turned on his phone, he was surprised to see 14 voicemail messages...all from Marik. "Oh....boy..." Yami said slowly. "Yeah... uh... We should PROOOOBABLY check on them." he said showing Ahmose the missed-call history.

Ahmose glanced at the phone, and his eyes widened, but then he rolled them. "Aw, FUCK!!!" He spat, and headed for Marik's house. "Get out my phone and check that, too.

Yami dug out Ahmose’s and laughed. "Fuck you're popular! You've got 37 messages! From Marik AND Mikado!"

Ahmose sighed and shook his head. "Mikado was probably calling me because Marik was bugging him..." He mumbled.

"big lug." Yami chuckled.

Ahmose sighed, and soon they pulled up to Marik's house. Bakura's car was out front.

Yami blinked. "Oh hell...you KNOW it's not good if Bakura and Malik are comforting him..." he mumbled. Sure enough inside Bakura was trying to comfort Marik, who looked on the verge of a re-visit to drugville.

Ahmose sighed. "Gods... what NOW, Ishtar!!!"

Bakura gave Ahmose a dull look. "Ryou got beat up by some mugger, and went into his bottle... but he hasn't come back out... and the bottle wont spit him out..."

Ahmose frowned. "Fuck... Anubis said he felt like something back was gonna happen..." He said, coughing. Marik was clutching the bunnies and staring at the bottle. Tuc looked TIRED of being held, and his head was damp from Marik's tears.

Yami rubbed Ahmose's shoulders. "I'm sure it wont take much to get Ryou out of there...he's your magic after all...Why not go in and get him? Can you even do that?"

Ahmose sighed. "Get into Ryou's bottle? No..." Ahmose said. He frowned and rubbed Ryou's bottle, but nothing happened. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he turned, picking up Marik's phone and dialing. "... Mikado? Ahmose, I'm at Marik's. Ryou's stuck in his bottle. Bring me Seto and Pegasus. YES, both of them!!! NOW!!! Okay..." He hung up.

Bakura blinked. "God Marik what have you been feeding the poor kid?! He never was so fat he got stuck before!" Bakura blurted loudly. "You turned him into a fatass!"

Everyone gave Bakura a look, and Marik just sobbed. "SHUT THE FUCK UP, ITEMRI!!!"

Bakura snickered slightly. "It's true! He's fine! His fatass is just stuck in the bottle!"

"Notice that no one is amused, Bakura..." Ahmose snarled, then coughed again. He groaned and flopped into his favorite arm chair in the corner by the window. "Yami... could you get me some... soup or tea or... something?" He asked.

"Sure." Yami said going into the kitchen. He returned moments later with a steaming bowl of chicken soup and a warm cup of chai tea. "There ya go."

Ahmose smiled. "Thank you..." He said softly, and sipped the tea before eating the soup.

"Come down with something?" Malik asked.

"Mm-hmm..." Ahmose mumbled.

"So...how you gonna get Ryou unstuck? How'd he get stuck in the first place?" Malik asked, rubbing Marik's back.

Marik sniffed and shook his head, drinking from the bottle of bourbon. "I don't KNOW!!! He went in the bottle and never came out!!! It went all COLD!!!"

Malik rubbed Marik's back more. "I meant Ahmose." he chuckled softly. "It's ok...Ryou's fine..."

Ahmose sighed. "I don't know. Just because I've created genies doesn't make me an expert on them..."

Yami looked thoughtful. "Oh hey!" he snapped. "There's an idea. You can wish you never made him. THEN you'd never have damned yourself!" Yami said proudly. "And Ryou said before that he could grant a wish like that, so Seto and Pegasus could too!"

Ahmose frowned. "But then Marik would never have him." Marik gave a cry of horror at that. "And you and I would never have been reincarnated, probably. It would change the history of the world Yami. Think of who HAD Ryou... Michaelangelo... Napoleon... Alexander the Great..." Ahmose shook his head. "No. Best we DON'T mess with history."

"Yes, but who's to say those people were MEANT to do the things they did!" Yami argued thoughtfully. "RYOU messed with history on his way here. His magic is what made those people great. What if by making the genie, we altered things we weren't supposed to, like you said originally...." Yami pointed out

Ahmose shook his head. "No." He mumbled. A few seconds later, the door opened and Mikado ran in, removing a backpack.

"Hey... glad you're helping Marik. He's been going NUTS!!!" The boy said. Otogi walked in a moment later.

Ahmose sighed and watched as Mikado pulled out the two bottles... one silver with sapphires, and the other gold with rubies. Mikado handed them to Ahmose, and he rubbed them both, looking at Yami and smiling. "Time to start our redemption..."

Yami shrugged. "You obviously know what you're doing. I'll just watch and nod, smiling."

Ahmose chuckled, and everyone watched as the stoppers flew out of the bottles and blue and fuschia smoke plumed out. Ahmose sipped his tea again, crossing his legs, and took another spoonful of soup.

Pegasus blinked when he solidified, and looked around. His eyes fell on Ahmose, and he glared, but stepped behind Seto when the other formed. Then he spotted the others and jumped, eyes wide, backing into the wall.

Bakura snickered. "Pansy-assed bitch." he said amused. "Cowering like that... Pathetic. Ryou never cowered." Yami coughed out a snicker as well.

Seto merely rolled his eyes. "What'd you fuck up now?"

"Me? Nothing." Ahmose said. "Ryou's stuck in his bottle..." He frowned and eyed Seto, but then turned and looked at Pegasus, knowing that SETO was spiteful enough to twist his wish around and make things worse... Pegasus was too flakey to do that... "I wish Ryou were out of his bottle and healed. Just put him on the sofa." Mikado and Malik scrambled off of the sofa. Pegasus winced and nodded, and a moment later, light blue smoke emerged from Ryou's bottle.

Ryou was curled up on the sofa moments later, curled up contently, cuddling his teddy bear and snoozing contently, looking as perfect as he'd ever looked.

"feh...brat." Seto snorted.

Ahmose sighed and rolled his eyes, then looked at Yami. "Remind me why I'm doing this again?"

"Soul redemption?" Yami asked shrugging. "Hell if I know."

"Yes. Soul redemption. Thank you." Ahmose said, and looked at Seto and Pegasus, holding their bottles. "I wish for you both to be ordinary, powerless, human men again... Completely free to live out the lives you were born into." Pegasus' eye widened, and he looked at Seto as their bottle began to glow.

Once the 'wish' was done, both millionaires were once more clothed as they had been before, in suits. Seto crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, before walking out, muttering under his breath about revenge.

Yami snickered as Pegasus scampered out as well, after catching the look Ahmose was giving them.

Ahmose sighed. "Revenge indeed..." He muttered. "THAT'S why I wished for them to have NO powers at all... I can handle anything they try to throw at us, now..."

"How about a lawsuit?" Yami asked after a moment. "They were being held 'against their will' and...well that's technically kidnapping..."

Ahmose chuckled. "What? What will the court documents say? 'Enslaved as genies in bottles against will'?!"

"I think just kidnapping would suffice. They ARE missing persons. missing rich persons." Yami pointed out. "You know how rich people these days are above the law."

"There is NO evidence." Ahmose said calmly. "And think about it. What do THEY have? MONEY. What do we have? Me AND RYOU! And MARIK'S millions. He's a millionaire too, remember?" He looked at Marik, who was kneeling by the sofa and stroking Ryou's hair as the boy slept on, cuddling the white teddy bear Mikado had given him.

Yami shrugged. "If that was soul redemption...I think I might want to reconsider...I dont much care for them."

Ahmose smiled. "I made them genies. I just UNDID that... it should count for SOMETHING." He said, and touched his bowl with a finger, reheating his soup. "Shame, though... I didn't expect Seto to take that so quietly... I was kind of looking forward to kicking his ass..."

"Oh I'm sure they'll come back for Ryou and YOU both." Yami chuckled. "Kick their asses then."

Ahmose smiled. "Oh, they can come back... I'll be waiting..." He said with a sinister chuckle and gleam in his eyes. Mikado raised an eyebrow.

"Dude... you like like a homicidal psychopath Ahmose... knock it off..." He said.

Yami laughed loudly. "Ahmose is harmless unless you try to hurt him first. Dont mind this it's just cute." Yami snickered.

Ryou yawned and nuzzled more into his bear. "nnnng..."

Marik smiled, leaning in and kissing Ryou's cheek, delighted that the boy was completely healed.

Ryou wrinkled his nose cutely and whined softly. "Marrriiikk... stooop.." he buried his face in his pillow, still snoozing. "tickles.."

Marik grinned and glomped onto Ryou. "YOU'RE OKAY!!!" He cried, bursting into tears and covering the befuddled boy in kisses.

Ryou squeaked, woken and confused. "What's going on?" he whimpered, rubbing his eyes and looking around confusedly. "Master get ooooooffff." he whined giggling slightly.

"Ryou! You were hurt and I brought you your bottle and you went in but then you wouldn't come out!!! I've been so scared! I thought you were DEAD!!! It's been DAYS!!! The bottle was just... COLD!!!"

Ryou stretched and smiled. "I was sleeping!" he giggled. "Of course it's like that when I sleep! If it wasn't, don’t you think I'd have had a LOT more masters?"

"Ryou... You wouldn't come out... I would rub the bottle and nothing would happen... for DAYS!!! I was WORRIED!!!" Marik gasped, and Ryou got a faceful of bourbon breath.

Ryou wrinkled his nose and gave Marik a scolding look. "You were DRINKING!" he scolded harshly. He waved his hands, and buckets, garden hoses, scrub brushes, sponges and probably at least eight different floral scented soaps floated in and launched themselves at Marik.

"OH FUCK!!!" Marik yelped. Ahmose sat up, his eyes wide and mouth hanging open as he watched Marik get the scrubbing of a life time.

Ryou glared and waved his hands, floating down the stairs was Marik's toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash and floss as well. "Get him!" he said sternly, and they also launched themselves at Marik. "You KNOW you shouldn't drink! You PROMISED you wouldn't!" Ryou howled furiously. "After what happened last time! You should be ashamed! I cant believe you! YOU PROMISED!" Ryou howled. Marik's hairbrush suddenly joined the scuffle.

Everyone just sat and stared, dumbfounded. "Damn... I don't think I've ever been THAT clean in my whole LIFE!!!" Mikado gasped.

Ryou glared over his shoulder. "I can fix that for you." he warned, obviously furious his precious master had not only LIED to him, but he'd drank again!

Mikado 'eep'ed and hid behind Otogi.

Suddenly, something Marik TRULY dreaded floated down the stairs. The Chastity belt...

"NOOOO!!!" Marik wailed. "GODS, NO!!!" And he RAN!!!

Of course the Lawn hoses caught him and he tumbled to the floor, where said belt fitted itself to him, and he was flung back on the couch, dressed in pajama pants, and cleaner than he'd ever been. Ryou glared. "I'm not letting you take it off til we're married because you lied, and you drank!" he said looking away and crossing his arms.

Marik blinked. "Lied?! About WHAT?!"

"You promised you'd never drink again!" Ryou said coldly. "You PROMISED!"

"I did NOT!!!" Marik howled. "I drank the night we got ENGAGED!!! I had a Banana Daquiri!!!"

"It'd different to drink one in joy than to drink one in sorrow! Ryou scolded, looking near tears. "ESPECIALLY after what happened last time!"

Marik sighed. "Ryou... I was scared to death that I had lost you..." He said, reaching out and laying a hand on Ryou's cheek. "That is my ULTIMATE nightmare... One that would KILL me..."

Ryou sniffled and broke down into cute tears. "I wasn't even dead and you were killing yourself!"

Marik raised his eyebrows. "Ryou, it was just a bit of bourbon! I was NOT killing myself! I was gonna wait to do that until Ahmose told me you were dead."

Malik winced. "Oh, Marik! No! Are you stupid?! Crash and BURN man, don't tell Ryou THAT!!!"

Ryou wailed louder and literally ran from the room in tears.

Yami blinked. "Wow... even I don’t burn THAT badly... Even on my WORST days.."

Marik leapt up and chased after Ryou. "Ryou! Ryou, honey! WAIT!!!" He called, chasing the boy up the stairs.

Ryou ran into their room and slammed the door, which locked and began sobbing behind it.

"RYOU!!" Marik cried, pounding on the door. "PLEASE let me in! I've been SO worried about you, baby! PLEASE!!!"

"Go away!" Ryou sniffled, throwing one of his little sandals at the door, which caused a thump and some jingles.

"Ryou... please..." Marik begged. "Please... I... I have to hold you... I've been so scared... days, Ryou... I've been scared to death for you for days...."

"You were killing yourself!" Ryou sobbed, his voice filled with hurt.

"Ryou... no I wasn't..." Marik cooed.

"You JUST said you'd kill yourself if I wasn't ok!" Ryou wailed. "You horrible LIAR!"

Marik frowned. "Ryou... I will DIE without you!"

"You're horrible!"

"I LOVE YOU!!! I don't WANT to live without you!!!" Marik shouted.

Ryou continued crying on the other side of the door, furious with Marik for lapsing back into bad habbits, before he was even DEAD!

Bakura peered over at Marik from the corner. "Marik...maybe you should...let him cry it out...he just needs to calm down...You scared him. It'll be ok..."

"HE scared ME!!!" Marik howled, throwing his hands up into the air.

"He's the uke of you two isn't he? He's got feminine genie needs. Like crying and decorating." Bakura offered. "He'll come out soon. Everyone needs a good cry sometimes.”

Marik frowned. "But... I want to cry WITH him..." He mumbled, sadly.

"Face it Marik, you cant butter him up as well when you're on two legs and smelling of bourbon." Bakura shrugged.

Marik frowned and gave Bakura a forced grin. "Well right now I smell like a basket of pretty flowers with MINTY fresh breath! I think my ASS smells like DAISIES!!!"

Bakura chuckled. "Maybe if you piss off Ahmose he'll turn you into a lion cub. Ryou cant resist you then...remember last time he tried?" Bakura snickered remembering when Ryou'd holed up in their room before, but at Marik's mao-ing he'd caved in little over a minute, and was cuddling his beloved as if nothing had happened.

Marik perked up and FLEW his daisy smelling ass down the stairs. "INARUUUUSSSS!!"

Yami watched the blonde streak past and launch himself at Ahmose. "oh SHIT!" he yelped, though eager to see what became of the lunkhead.

"GET OFF ME, ISHTAR!!!" Ahmose howled, followed by a coughing fit.

"Turn me into a baby lion!!!" Marik howled. And a moment later, he was.

"Ra! ANYthing to get you off of me! I'm SICK!!" Ahmose croaked, wincing.

Yami snickered. "Ahmose, Why dont you lay down in one of the guest rooms? I'll get you a good book, and you can sleep it off. Ryou'd probably enjoy the company, and YOU look awful."

Ahmose sighed. "I'd rather go home..." He said softly, standing. "Here, Mikado. Drive us home?" Mikado took the keys from his brother, nodding.

"Sure." He said. Ahmose sighed and looked down at Seto and Pegasus' bottles, then picked them up to take them with him.

Yami smiled. "Dont forget Ishtar." he called, pointing to Marik who was still following Ahmose, looking desperate.

Ahmose snorted. "He ASKED for it." He mumbled, waving his hand and watching Marik begin the long hike up the stairs... at least, it was a long hike for an awkward lion cub, and frustrating when the rabbits were just darting up and down said stairs.

"Murrr..." Marik said, frowning in determination as he scrambled up onto the third step.

Bakura chuckled and plucked Marik up on his way down, and turned walking back up. "You're such a dork." he said putting Marik down at the top of the stairs. "We're all going to head home...try not to send Ryou into a fit again...I wont be here to carry you up again." he said ruffling Marik's fur and smiling. "Good luck."

"Mao..." Marik said, watching Bakura go back down stairs and out the door. Malik smiled and locked the door behind them. Marik turned, and trotted down the hall, reaching the bedroom. "Maooooo!" He whined, pawing at the door. "Murrowwww!!!"

Ryou sniffled behind the door, and just like before, he caved within moments and scooped Marik up, crying into his fur.

Marik mewed and wiggled in Ryou's arms, turning and licking the boy's face, cleaning the tears off of his cheeks. He laid his paws on Ryou's shoulders, as if hugging him, and purred, licking the nuzzling the genie's cheeks.

Ryou sniffled once more and cuddled Marik. "You promised not to do that..." he sniffled. "Why'd you say such a horrible thing....?" he wiped his eyes, sniffling. "Master...you were drinking...y-you said you'd kill yourself if I'd died! You promised you wouldn't…"

"Murrr..." Marik said, laying his ears back. But he rested his head on Ryou's shoulder, purring.

Ryou sniffled and buried his face in Marik's fur. "You're horrible... you make me worry a-and you say things like that.." he hiccupped. "You do things you know you shouldn't, that could get you hurt...." he sniffled and hiccupped. "I wish you'd stop... a-and just be with me..."

Marik purred loudly, nuzzling Ryou and licking his face, mewling a bit.

Ryou sniffled once more and changed Marik back, his master still in his pajama pants.

Marik quickly enveloped Ryou in his arms. “And when I AM with you... I DO stop..." He said softly. "I just can't stand NOT being with you... that hurts TOO MUCH..."

Ryou sniffled and hugged Marik. "You're horrible..." he sniffled once more giving him a hurt look. "You were doing it all over again… a-and I wasn't even hurt! I was just sleeping..."

"Ryou... I didn't know that... I was afraid that you had died... you slept for FOUR DAYS!!! There was NO sign of life from the bottle... do you know how SCARED I was?!" Marik asked, rubbing Ryou's back. "I love you... if I lose you again..."

Ryou shook his head. "Master..." he sniffled and hugged Marik tight. "I couldn't die again! Lord master Anubis wouldn't take me before a wedding!"

"You never know, my angel..." Marik whispered. "But by the gods, if you were taken from me, we would STILL be married, as scheduled..."

Ryou sniffled and shook his head. "YOU PROMISED!" Ryou scolded looking near tears again. "Who would make sure my other masters were ok....if I was gone?"

"They can take care of themselves..." Marik said.

"Who would take care of you when I turned you into a toad for breaking your promise?" Ryou grumbled.

"Ryou... if you are taken from me, I WILL follow." Marik said. "No matter what."

Ryou sighed softly. "You're horrible..." he mumbled sniffling once more and cuddling closer. "I want a happy wedding...with my friends! Not a funeral wedding!"

Marik frowned. "Then don't die, okay?"

"I wasn't! I was sleeping..."

"But I didn't KNOW THAT!!" Marik howled.

"Ignorance is supposed to be bliss!" Ryou whined cutely.

"Not when you're afraid that your lover is DEAD!!!" Marik cried. "Not knowing will KILL you!!!"

Ryou wrinkled his nose. "Nuh uh!"

"It was horrible." Marik said softly.

Ryou sighed and shook his head. "Master...did...I do something wrong that day? Why was he hurting me? Why'd that happen?"

Marik sighed. "He mugged you, sweetie... he just hurt you because he was a mean person, baby..."

"Oh..." Ryou hugged Marik tighter. "I wish I'd have...found you." he mumbled. "I was scared… a-and hurt..."

Marik sighed and hugged Ryou back. "My poor angel... never go into allies like that alone, honey..."

Ryou nodded. "I think I'm better off staying home... Even though I've lived in this age... I'm still not very good at being in this age..." he mumbled.

Marik smiled. "It's okay, Ryou... I'll stay here with you and drive you crazy trying to get you into bed."

"Nuh uh. I meant what I said. It's not coming off until marriage." Ryou said sternly.

"Well, I can TRY!!!" Marik said, tackling Ryou to the bed and grabbing his crotch, kissing him.

Ryou giggled. "Maaaster! No! Bad!" He turned Marik back into a lion cub. "Bad kitty!"

"Murph!" Marik snorted, toppling over and flopping around, trying to right himself.

Ryou plucked him up giggling "Ha! Now I know how to stop you. I'll just keep you THIS way." he giggled. "Whenever you try to get me into your bed."

"Maoooooooooo!!!" Marik yowled, flailing.

Ryou giggled and set Marik down on the bed, giggling and changing him back as he darted out of the room.

Marik snorted, but smiled, glad that Ryou wasn't crying anymore... he lay his head down on the pillows of the bed and closed his eyes, lightly.

Moments later Tuc barreled in, clicking furiously as if to say 'YOU WERE TOUCHING HIM!'

Marik opened an eye and blinked at Tuc. "Hey, furball..." He mumbled, closing his eye again.

Tuc lunged and BIT Marik in the butt. 'DONT TOUCH HIM!'

"OW!!! HEY!!!" Marik shouted, jumping. "RYOU!! CALL HIM OFF!!!"

Ryou however, was long out of earshot, leaving Marik to Tuc's wrath.

Marik leapt off of the bed and ran. "RYOUUUUU!!!"

Tuc was hot on Marik's heels, nipping them. 'No means NO!' he squealed furiously.

"RYOU!! RYOU RYOU RYOU RYOU RYOUUUUUU!!!" Marik wailed.

Ryou blinked when Marik tumbled past, Tuc leaping onto his back and squealing in dominance, as though he'd tackled Marik. He then crouched, as if he was preparing to pee....

Marik rolled over, flinging the rabbit off. "RYOU!!! Call him OFF!!!"

Ryou giggled as Tuc launched himself at Marik once more. "Tuc! Tuc stop!" he giggled more. "It's ok! It's ok he's done!"

"Ryou! Good gods, you've turned him into the MONTY PYTHON rabbit!!!" Marik whined from his place on the kitchen table.

"He just wants you to respect that I said no until marriage." he cooed stooping to pet Tuc.

Marik snorted. "Evil rabbit."

"Tuc isn't evil. He's a very good rabbit." Ryou produced a little piece of celery, which Tuc eagerly took, and hopped off with his prize.

Marik snorted. "With YOU!" He said.

"I'm not trying to get in my pants." Ryou replied smirking.

Marik blinked, but then grinned. "I'd love to SEE that, though..."

Ryou wrinkled his nose. “I'll talk to myself, but I'll not have me doing that to me!"

Marik laughed. "Awww... you won't touch yourself for me?"

"NO!" Ryou howled. "Certainly not! If YOU cant touch me then I cant either!"

"Awww..." Marik snickered.

Ryou huffed. "Honestly." he said looking utterly mortified at the very IDEA!

"But it would be so HOT!!!" Marik said. "You're gonna do it on our honeymoon, then!"

"I will do no such thing!" Ryou howled.

"Awwww..." Marik whined, pouting.

"NO!" Ryou squealed, turning bright red. "Stop asking!"

Marik smirked. "Okay, then..." He said, opening the magic fridge. He pulled out a magazine and opened it. "Ooooh..." Ryou stared at the cover... on the cover, was HIM!!! Completely NAKED with his bottle conveniently PLACED between his legs!!! And the title was "Genies in the Bottle: Special Story, Ryou Talks :How To Rub Me The Right Way'."

Ryou snapped and the magazine disappeared, as did the fridge. "You don’t use the fridge that way!"

"Heyyyy!!!" Marik whined. "Bring it baaaack!!!"

"NO!" You dont use the fridge to see me naked! SHAME!" Ryou said, blushing darkly. "HONESTLY!"

"It's nothing I haven't seen before!" Marik pointed out, snickering.

"But it is something you're not seeing again! 'Til we're married!"

"Awwww..." Marik whined. "Can I at least have the fridge back? You can fix it so it only gives food..."

"NO you lost fridge priveladges." Ryou scolded. "Ask me and I'll give you the food you want."

Marik frowned. "But Ryouuuuuuu..."

"No." Ryou crossed his arms and huffed.

Marik pouted. "Oh, come ON!!! The others will miss it when they come over..."

"They can use it. Not you." Ryou said sighing and snapping, the fridge reappearing.

Marik frowned. "What do you MEAN I can't use it?!" Marik whined, looking longingly at the fridge.

"It wont let you." Ryou said smirking. "You can try,but it wont let you."

Marik pouted, slumping down into a chair. "You're mean..."

Ryou turned and began picking things from the cabinets. "You used my special gift against me!"

Marik giggled. "But you're so HOT!!!"

"Not so hot now, am I?" Ryou said coldly.

Marik blinked. "No, no, you're still hot. MEAN, but hot."

Ryou grumbled, and sighed. "No sex with you or myself!"

Marik snickered. "Yes dear... wanna watch a movie?"

"Depends...what movie?" Ryou asked, looking suspiciously over his shoulder.

"I dunno. What would YOU like to watch?" Marik asked.

"I dunno..." Ryou said after a moment.

"How about Lost Boys?" Marik asked.

Ryou blinked. "No thank you..."

"Awww..." Marik whined, snickering.

Ryou rolled his eyes. "I'm not really in the mood for that..."

"Then what ARE you in the mood for?" Marik asked

Ryou shrugged. "I dunno..."

Marik sighed and pulled Ryou into the den, shoving him down onto the sofa, and popping in a movie. "We're watching Jurassic Park." He said, plopping down with Ryou.

Ryou wrinkled his nose. "But I dont like the dinosaurs!"

"Awwww... is Ryou scared of the dinos?" He asked, chuckling and hugging Ryou. "Don't worry... I'll protect you."

Ryou pouted but sighed and let Marik cuddle him as the movie started.

Marik smiled and held Ryou close, especially during the T-Rex attack.

Ryou pouted when he got scared, and by the end of the movie, was in Marik's lap, face buried in his shoulder, pouting.

Marik smiled, hugging Ryou as the T-Rex gave one final roar, the 'When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth' banner fluttering to the floor before him. "Awwww... it's all over, Ryou..." Marik cooed.

Ryou pouted. "I hate the dinosaurs..."

"Awww... why?" Marik asked.

"Because they're scary!" Ryou squeaked. "Not fun!"

"They're COOL!!!" Marik laughed.

Ryou made a face. "I dont think so..."

"Aw... but the SPITTERS!!!" Marik cried.

"I hated them most of all!" Ryou wailed shuddering.

Marik laughed. "Awww... my poor Ryou... So if I wished for one as a pet...?"

"Not in a million years."

"Awwww..." Marik whined, giggling and kissing Ryou's cheek. "Not even to protect me from Tuc?"

"I like Tuc, no dinosaur for you." Ryou said sternly. "Especially the spitty ones!"

"Hmmph." Marik pouted, playfully.

Ryou stretched and climbed out of Marik's lap. "I'm sleepy..." he mumbled stretching once more and looking at the setting sun. "We should go to sleep."

Marik smiled. "Yeah..." He said, standing and swinging Ryou up into his arms, kissing his cheek. "I love you..."

Ryou grinned and nuzzled into Marik's arms. "I love you too." he cooed kissing Marik.

Marik carried Ryou into their room and lay him on the bed, kissing his cheek and tucking him in. "Sleep tight, baby..."

Ryou smiled and curled up next to Marik. "Goodnight master...sleep well." he cooed, kissing Marik's cheek as well.

"Night angel..." Marik sighed, feeling Tuc and Nod hop onto the bed and crawl up between him and Ryou. Marik smiled and reached out, petting Nod.

Ryou pulled Tuc into his arms and smiled. "Night Tuc and Nod..." he cooed, kissing their heads.

Nod nuzzled into Marik's pillow, sighing and closing her red eyes, pink ribbon fluttering under Marik's breath.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Mikado sighed as he pulled into the parking garage of their apartment building. "We're home, Ahmose."

"Thank Bast..." Ahmose mumbled, getting out of the car. "I feel like I'm gonna puke again."

"Just don't do it in the elevator..." Mikado giggled, smiling at Yami as he helped him with the luggage.

Yami snickered. "You'll be ok Ahmose... we're almost there." he cooed kissing Ahmose's cheek. "Some rest will do wonders for you."
Ahmose sighed and nodded. "Yeah... just... keep the girls off of me, okay?"

"Easier said than done." Yami said groaning. "Now, if you'd just gotten CATS...."

Ahmose rolled his eyes. "I like dogs." He said, calmly. Mikado smiled and snickered as Ahmose pushed the button on the elevator.

"Cats are better." Yami grumbled.

Ahmose snorted, but groaned and closed his eyes when the elevator lurched upwards.

Yami sighed and hugged Ahmose. "You'll be alright..." he cooed smiling.

"Gods... I'm gonna blow chunks!" He groaned as the elevator opened on the ground floor. Their neighbor stood there with her pommeranian, waiting to go upstairs, and stared at Ahmose in horror.

"... I'll take the stairs..." She squeaked, and hurried away. The elevator closed and Mikado burst out laughing.

Yami groaned. "I wish you felt better..." He said as the elevator headed up to the second floor.

Ahmose blinked when the need to vomit suddenly passed. He snickered. "That works..." He said as the elevator opened.

"Gods I love Ryou." Yami said in a relieved tone.

Mikado smiled and led the way to the apartment. "Still don't feel WELL, but I don't have to barf now..." Ahmose said with a small smile. "Gods, I want my bed..."

Yami carried Ahmose's things, and once they entered the apartment Mikado distracted the dogs while Ahmose and Yami unloaded, and Ahmose finally got to lay down.

But he didn't stay down long. A moment later, he was up again, stumbling to the bathroom. "Shower..." He was groaning.

Yami rolled his eyes. "It can wait!"

"NO!!! I'm FILTHY!!!" Ahmose called back.

"I wish you were clean!" Yami called loudly.

"FUCK!!!" Ahmose screamed as he was attacked by scrub brushes in the shower.

Yami blinked at that. "Whoops..."

A moment later, Ahmose stumbling out of the bathroom, only to be flattened to the floor by a blast of hot air, drying him.

Yami coughed. "Sorry Ahmose! I forgot Ryou's attachment to attacking people to make them clean..."

Ahmose just lay on the floor, moaning. "Okay... I think I'm gonna hurl again..." and he turned, stumbling back into the bathroom, and got acquainted with the toilet bowl.

Yami sighed and shook his head. "I'm gonna head home..." he called tiredly.

Ahmose groaned from where he sat in the bathroom, leaning over the toilet.

Yami peered inside the bathroom. "I wish you felt so much better you didn't have to throw up any further." he cooed apologetically.

Ahmose gulped and groaned, nodding slightly. "Th-Thanks..." He mumbled, coughing and spitting into the toilet, before stumbling to his feet and flushing the thing, picking up his toothbrush.

Yami smiled. "Take it easy Ahmose..." he cooed before disappearing and beginning to head home.

Ahmose sighed and brushed his teeth, a bit disappointed that Yami had left, but Yami had a family, too... He finished brushing his teeth, threw away the toothbrush, and climbed into bed, falling asleep almost immediately.

Of course...the sleep was interrupted by Ahmose's patron god once more. "Inarus..."

Ahmose once more found himself lying in black nothingness. "Uhhhhhhg..." He moaned. "What NOW?!" Anubis was slightly taken aback at THIS reaction... Ahmose knew better than to have an attitide with HIM!!! Ahmose groped for his blankets to pull over his head, but was dismayed to find that they were not there... and dammit, what a time to pick to go to be NAKED!!!

Anubis merely watched chuckling. "Inarus, whenever you're done making a camel's ass of yourself..." he drawled amused.

Ahmose sat up, groaning at the throbbing in his head. "I don't think that's gonna happen any time soon..." Ahmose mumbled, holding his head and sitting there. "I feel like shit..."

"So...you set them free." Anubis said after a moment. "Did you think that would just...fix things?"

Ahmose blinked, confused for a moment. "What? Oh! Seto and Pegasus? No, of course it doesn't fix things..." Ahmose said, folding his arms on his knees and resting his head on them. "But I figure it's at least a step in the right direction..." He sighed. "Master... is there... any hope for me? Or am I fighting a losing battle? I know there is hope for Yami... but I fucked up so late in the game... do I even have a chance any more?" Ahmose asked, sounding completely hopeless. "I... I want to know the truth... did... turning Seto and Pegasus into genies... seal my fate? Have I ANY chance of redemption? Any... at all?"

Anubis gave Ahmose a long hard look. "Inarus, you've done a LOT of soul-damning things..." he started slowly. "A lot of things that the gods do not approve of. You have a lot of gods to make up to, a lot of deeds to redeem yourself for...."

Ahmose was silent for a moment. "You didn't answer my question." He said, finally.

Anubis nodded. "I can’t give a sure answer Ahmose...I can only say that you've a lot to redeem yourself for... as does Atemu. You're both at fault. You're both condemned. If I were you two, I would seek out a way to please the gods."

"What might we do, Master?" Ahmose asked, before turning his head and coughing. He gave Anubis a weak smile. "And speak fast... I may just pass out on you... Please do not take offense if I do..."

"Ahmose, it is for you to figure out. I can’t give you all the answers you need." Anubis said slowly. "You'll figure it out."

"But... how?" Ahmose asked. "I don't know what the gods want... you all have... withdrawn from the world in this age... I even feel as if... I have lost touch with you and the gods... things are so different now..."

Anubis chuckled. "You'll figure something out Inarus...Even an unorthadox method is means to an end."

Ahmose nodded, wavering a bit. "I am sorry, Master... but I beleive I should... return to bed..."

Anubis nodded. "Alright Inarus. Remember what I told you." he said fading, leaving Ahmose to his sleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jeda: No, Ryou isn’t dead. I wouldn’t let Mally kill him, I completely refused. And yeah, it’s fun to humiliate Ahmose. It’s Mally’s new hobby. -_- Oh well… it’s amusing. ::shrug::

Andyouthinkimcrazy: Yes, she did. And I agree, he HAS died too much already. And I think Ahmose needed more than a hug. ^_^()
