※ Part Fourty Eight: It’s Over!!!….or is it?
※ Warnings - None - just remember that this is the unrevised version. This is also the ending nobody's seen. Gah.

The sun rose and the world turned as it did everyday and life began to awaken. In the Motou household, it was no different.
A boy with light lavender eyes and light blonde hair smiled contently as the arm around his waist tightened slightly. Lavender opened at the same time as steel blue.
“You know,” Seto Kaiba muttered sleepily as he pulled the other body closer for warmth, “A week ago this would have been one of my nightmares.”
“The one just a little less scarier than waking up next to a naked pharaoh?” Malik yawned softly.
“Yeah, that one.” Seto said, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked beneath the covers, “Naked?!”
Malik only laughed.

Brown eyes blinked open as Ryou Bakura woke. Confusion clouded his sleepy vision as he found his yami cuddling with the pharaoh. He chuckled quietly but was startled when Yami opened his eyes.
“Wouldn’t laugh if I were you.” The pharaoh muttered, then closed his eyes to go back to sleep.
Confused even more, Ryou looked at what he was lying on. “Duke!” He gasped as the other boy in question sleepily grinned.
“Hi.” The dark-haired youth grinned.
“H-hi.” Ryou stuttered, then suddenly blushed when he realized something was amiss. “I’m naked.” He whispered.
Duke only laughed, “Very naked.” He stated as he brought the blanket up and tucked it in around them.
Groaning quietly, Ryou buried his face within Duke’s chest in embarrassment, “Oh god…”

Joey sighed as he tried to stay asleep. Consciousness could be so annoying at times. He rolled onto his side to get more comfortable, then suddenly seemed to remember where Marik has been sleeping the night before. Gasping and opening his eyes Joey came face to face with wide and unsure dark lavender eyes.
“Marik!” Joey realized that the psycho was full grown again. Would he live to see Seto again? “Marik, I-I know this looks b-bad, but I can explain!” He shrieked as Marik moved closer. Joey clenched his eyes and waited for the end.
Instead he felt a light pressure on his shoulder. Upon opening one eye, and then the other Joey was relieved to find that the pressure was Marik’s head resting upon his shoulder.
“I remember everything.” Marik whispered softly. “Thank you.”
It took a moment for the words to sink into Joey’s sleep muddled brain. “You’re welcome.” He said after a moment and hugged the Egyptian yami softly (not something he expected to be doing while remaining alive mind you). “Now that everything’s back to normal you and Malik can be happy together again.”
Marik pulled away in confusion, “Malik and I? Together? Again?”
Joey blinked, now the one confused, “Weren’t you and Malik…together?” Marik only giggled and shook his head, “Everyone was so sure…why not?”
The yami shrugged, “Too shy.”
“Too shy?!” Joey muttered just as the door opened and a naked Seto and an equally naked Malik (oh yeah, real shy) ran into the room and jumped onto the bed tackling their other halves.
Joey found himself being wrapped in warm arms and a familiar comfortable feeling that caused him to relax immediately.
Beside him Marik was being drowned in a shower of kisses, which were rained all over his face between every statement of ‘I’m sorry’. Eventually he pushed Malik away enough to breathe.
“Hikari?” He looked up questioningly.
Malik only smiled, “I’m sorry for everything I said and did!” He gently touched the bruise on Marik’s face, “I was confused and I’m sorry! I love you Marik.” He proclaimed before wrapping his arms around Marik’s neck and kissing him full on the lips.
After a long heated moment they pulled apart and Marik whispered, “I love you too.”
“Guys!” The door burst open and Yami, Yami Bakura, Ryou, Duke and Yugi pushed in.
“Freak! Put some clothes on!” Yami Bakura rolled his eyes at Malik but couldn’t hide his smirk.
Malik only rolled his eyes, “You should talk thief.” He said.
It seemed Ryou was the only modest one as he hugged a blanket around himself.
“Thank Ra that’s over with!” Yami sighed as he sat down on the end of the bed. Everyone joined him.
“It had its moments.” Yami Bakura confessed as he pulled a blushing Ryou into his lap.
“We definitely learned a lot about each other.” Ryou leaned against Yami Bakura’s shoulder, “I’m glad it happened.”
“Hmm.” Seto began, “That reminds me, I have to go see a man about an elephant.”
“Guys!” Mokuba suddenly raced into the room, “We have a problem!”
“Huh? What? We’re all back to normal.” Joey shrugged.
Mokuba bit his lip, “Um…not exactly…was anyone wearing their dueling deck when the spell was read?”
“I was…” Yugi began.
“Me too…” Ryou looked at Joey.
“Guilty.” The blonde sat up.
“I carry it everywhere.” Seto leaned against the headboard.
“I feel I’m going to regret asking this,” Malik began, “But why?”
Mokuba sighed, “Well, when I woke up this morning I saw that Seto and Malik were gone but I could hear them talking so I knew everything was back to normal. Until I looked up.” Mokuba opened the door.
A baby Red Eyes Black dragon flew in with a chibi Blue Eyes right behind it.
“Masta!” A chibi Flame Swordsman cried as he pulled a chibi Dark Magician, who was sucking his thumb, into the room. A little girl with one angel wing and one demon wing came in next.
“Oh Ra!” Malik slapped his forehead.
“What?” Marik asked.
Malik whimpered, “I just pictured my house with a baby Winged Dragon of Ra rampaging through it!”
Yami Bakura shrugged, “At least it’s not a Chibi Ryou.”
Marik couldn’t help it.
He laughed.
