Here's the last chapter of this story. I thought this would only be an eight to ten chapter story, but I ended up having more ideas for it than I thought.
Enjoy this last chapter!
Chapter 22- High School Reunion
~20 Years Later~
"Hey, Mom!" Illiana Mutou called as she came into the kitchen.
Yuugi turned and smiled at her daughter. "Hello, Illiana. How was your day?" Yuugi asked.
"Great! I love college!" Illiana said.
"You should. You do perfect in every subject." Shane grumbled.
"Shane, stop complaining. You don't study as much or as hard as your sister. You could do as well as she does. Besides, what do you have to complain about? You make straight A's, too." Yuugi said.
"I know." Shane said.
Daniel then came in. "Hey!" Daniel said.
"And how was your day?" Yuugi asked.
"Fine. I love working with Dad and Uncle Atemu." Daniel said.
"That's good to hear." Yuugi said.
It had been twenty years, and everything was great.
Shane, Illiana, and Daniel were now twenty years old. Yuugi and Yami had two more daughters, Lucy Ann Sennen and Ella May Sennen, as well as one more son, Elliott Scott Sennen. Lucy and Ella were fifteen years old and twins, and Elliott was seven. Elliott was a surprise pregnancy where the twin girls were planned.
After both had finished college, Atemu and Heba had moved into a house of their own. As promised, Yuugi had gone through artificial insemination for Atemu and Heba. The two now had twin sons, Jake Matthew Sennen and Adrian Lee Sennen, who were sixteen.
"Hey, Mom. What's this?" Illiana asked, noticing the invitation on the table.
"That's a letter letting me and your father know that our twentieth high school reunion is coming up." Yuugi answered.
"Are you going?" Shane asked.
"We might. There's no reason not to." Yuugi answered.
"Why bother? You both see all of your friends all the time." Daniel said.
"There are other people we wouldn't mind seeing, Daniel." Yuugi answered.
"Well, I have a date with Nick, so I'm going. See you after while." Illiana said before leaving.
"I hate when she rubs in that she's dating." Shane said.
Yuugi laughed to herself.
"Well, you were the one that broke up with Melinda." Daniel reminded him.
"Yeah. Because she cheated on me." Shane said.
"You'll find someone, Shane. You just have to give it time." Yuugi said.
"Yeah, but you and Dad were together since high school." Shane said.
"Just because your father and I fell in love in high school doesn't mean that you have to." Yuugi said.
"Well, I'm going out. I'm going to see the new Terminator Salvation movie. Want to come, Shane?" Daniel asked.
"Sure thing." Shane said.
"Bye, Mom." the two called.
Yuugi shook her head as she smiled. She loved her life.
Yami and Atemu had both become successful in the business, becoming co-presidents of the company after Aknankanon stepped down. Heba was an excellent doctor with a thriving practice, and Yuugi was famous for her paintings.
The front door opened, and Lucy, Ella, and Elliott came in.
"Hi, Mommy." Elliott said, hugging his mother.
"HI, Elliott. Did you have a good day at school?" Yuugi asked.
"Yes. We had a lot of fun." Elliott said.
"I don't see how he can find school fun." Lucy said.
"Lucy, don't make fun of your brother." Yuugi said.
"Sorry, Mom." Lucy said.
"Jake, what am I going to do with you?" Heba asked as he come in, scowling at Jake with Adrian behind them.
"Sorry, Dad." Jake said.
"I'll talk to you more about this when your father gets home." Heba said.
Jake gulped.
All the teenagers went into the living room while Elliott went upstairs.
"Problems?" Yuugi asked.
"Yuugi, that boy is driving me crazy. This is the third fight this year he has been in." Heba said.
"Don't worry about it. I went through this with Shane." Yuugi said.
"How did you do it?" Heba asked.
"Itwasn't easy, and I thought I would pull my hair out. Was it over a girl?" Yuugi asked.
"Yeah." Heba said, sitting down. He noticed the reunion invitation and said, "You got this, too, huh?"
"Yeah. Yami and I will probably go." Yuugi said.
"Yeah. Atemu and I are going, too." Heba said.
"Mommy!" Elliott said, coming back downstairs.
"What is it?" Yuugi asked.
"I need you to sign this." Elliott said, handing Yuugi a piece of paper.
"What is it?" Yuugi asked.
"It's a permission slip for me to go on the class fieldtrip to the museum." Elliott answered.
"All right." Yuugi said, after reading over the slip. She signed it and handed it back to Elliott.
"They are so much easier to deal with at that age." Heba said.
"Yes, they are." Yuugi agreed. She laughed. "But once they turn eighteen, they are not your problem, although they might still come to you for advice." Yuugi said.
"I know." Heba said.
"Who do you think will be at the reunion?" Yuugi asked.
"I don't know, but I am interested in finding out." Heba said.
Yuugi laughed. "So am I." Yuugi agreed.
~Reunion Night~
"Yuugi, you ready?" Yami asked.
"Yes, Yami. I'm ready." Yuugi said. She stepped out of the bathroom in a simple navy blue dress.
"You look beautiful." Yami said,
"Yami, you always say that." Yuugi said.
"And I always mean it." Yami said, wrapping his arms around Yuugi's waist and kissing her deeply.
"Hmm. Twenty years of marriage and six kids, and yet, you are still charming." Yuugi said.
Yami smirked. "Of course. After you." Yami said, gesturing for her to leave the room first.
The two walked downstairs.
"Wow, Mom. You look great." Ella said.
"Ella, don't start. I've already heard that from your father." Yuugi said.
"Well, Dad knows a beautiful woman when he sees one." Daniel said.
"Now I know why he's always getting girls." Shane muttered.
Yuugi shook her head. "Don't wait up for us, and make sure Elliott is in bed by eight." Yuugi said.
"We will." Lucy said.
"And don't let me find out that you let him eat nothing but junk food." Yuugi said.
"We won't, Mom. Now go." Illiana said.
Yuugi and Yami left the house to go to the reunion.
"Hey. Wasn't sure you'd show up." Joey said.
"Hey, Joey. We live in Domino, so there is no reason for us not to come." Yuugi said.
"Yeah. Where's Seto?" Yami asked.
"Oh. He's somewhere. You know he hates parties. How are the kids?" Joey asked.
"They're all fine." Yami answered.
"Not planning on any more, are you?" Joey asked.
"Joey, I am almost thirty-eight. There's no way we are having anymore." Yuugi said.
"Yeah. We didn't even plan on Elliott. That was one of those surprises." Yami said.
Joey laughed. "Yeah. We all were sure you'd end up with triplets again." Joey said.
"Yes, and as I recall, there was a bet going on between you, Bakura, Marik, Tristan, Atemu, and Kazuo on what we would have." Yuugi said.
"Yeah. Bakura really cleaned us out since he said one kid." Joey said.
"In any case, is anyone else here?" Yami asked.
"Yeah. I've seen just about everyone." Joey said.
As Yuugi and Yami enjoyed the party, they had found all their friends and spoken to several acquaintances from their high school days.
"Hi, Yuugi." said a snide voice.
Yuugi turned and came face-to-face with Marisa. "Hello, Marisa. How have you been?" Yuugi asked.
"I'm fine. Are you here alone?" Marisa asked.
"No. I'm here with my husband." Yuugi answered, sipping her punch.
"And what lowlife did you end up marrying?" Marisa asked.
Yuugi knew that Marisa was sure that Yami had left her. "If you must know, I am with Yami." Yuugi said.
Marisa looked shocked. "Yami? You're still with Yami?" Marisa asked.
"Yes. We got married the April after we graduated." Yuugi answered.
"Really?" Marisa asked, getting ticked off.
"Yes. We have six kids actually." Yuugi said.
"Six?!" Marisa exclaimed.
"Yes. We love them all very much, and we are very happy together." Yuugi said. She turned and said, "What about you?"
"I'm here with my husband." Marisa said quickly.
"Yes. You're estranged husband." Heba said.
The two women turned to face Heba.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Marisa said.
"Marisa, I heard about your-three failed marriages due to your constant cheating. And word has it that this marriage is ending." Heba said.
"That's not your concern!" Marisa snapped.
"I'm just saying that we're not stupid." Heba said sweetly.
Marisa glared at him before storming off.
"You didn't have to do that, you know?" Yuugi said.
"I know that, Yuugi, but I wanted to. It's just too much fun to pass up." Heba said.
Yuugi shook her head.
Meanwhile, Yami was talking to some old friends. He walked away intent on finding Yuugi.
"Hello, Yami." said a seductive voice.
Yami turned and nearly growled to find Marisa there.
"I wasn't sure that you would come." Marisa said.
"Yes. I came." Yami answered.
"Would you like to go somewhere and get to know each other again?" Marisa said, reaching out to take Yami's hand.
Yami pulled his hand back and said, "No, I don't. I was actually about to go and find my wife." Yami answered.
"Come on, Yami. Aren't you tired of her yet? I would be much better in bed." Marisa said.
Yami glared. "Marisa, I love Yuugi, and there is no way that I am going to leave her for anyone. I don't want you anymore. After all, I know about all the failed marriages because of your tendency for new men. I would rather stay with one woman who I know will be faithful to me instead of going to one who I know would be in the beds of other men constantly. Besides, I think that Yuugi is much better in bed that you ever could be." Yami said.
Marisa gasped.
Yami smirked. "Now, if you will excuse me, I would like to go and see my wife." Yami said before he walked off.
"What were you talking to Marisa about?" Yuugi asked.
"Let's just say that she hasn't changed at all since high school." Yami said.
"That's no surprise." Yuugi said.
"I know, but I thought that she would have given up by now. I mean, I don't want anything to do with someone like that. I ma happily married." Yami said.
"Calm down, Yami." Atemu said as he and Heba walked up.
"Well, I get a little cranky when a person comes onto me when I am happily married." Yami said.
"You know that most of the men that Marisa had affairs with were married men. She probably thought that you had reverted back to being a player." Heba said.
"Well, maybe in a way." Yami said, smirking at Yuugi.
Yuugi turned deep red and looked away.
"What is he talking about?" Heba asked.
"Somehow, I get the feeling that we're better off not knowing." Atemu said.
"Yes. You are." Yuugi said, glaring at her husband before she dragged him off. "Don't ever say that again." Yuugi hissed.
"What? You know that we do role play every now and then." Yami said.
"You don't have to tell anyone else about that!" Yuugi snapped.
Yami laughed. "Don't worry, Yuugi. I don't talk about it really." Yami said.
Yuugi shook her head. "You are hopeless." Yuugi said.
"Yes. I am." Yami agreed, kissing her lightly.
Yuugi sighed. "Well, at least Shane and Daniel didn't end up being a player, and I hope that Elliott doesn't end up being one." Yuugi said.
"Well, we'll worry about that later. You did change me, after all." Yami said.
"Yes. I know I did." Yuugi said.
"And I couldn't be happier." Yami said. He leaned down and whispered, "Besides, you're more than enough woman for me."
"I'd better be." Yuugi said.
That night, Yuugi lay on Yami's chest after several hours of making love.
After a few moments, Yuugi said, "Yami, do you ever regret being with me?"
"No, I don't. I have a great life, and I wouldn't give it up for anything." Yami said.
"Neither would I. I know when I first found out that I was pregnant, I was sure that you would bolt if I told you." Yuugi said.
"Truth be-known, if you had told me right off, I might have, but by the time you told me, I had already determined that I had strong feelings for you. Besides, they were my kids, too, and I wasn't about to leave you to raise them alone. Of course, that no longer was an issue once I realized that I was in love with you." Yami said.
Yuugi laughed. "And here we are. We've been married twenty years, and we have six wonderful children." Yuugi said.
"I know what you mean. Many people would say that we have too many kids, but I don't think that." Yami said.
"Neither do I. I mean, we can more than take care of them all. It's not like any of them have lacked anything over the years." Yuugi said.
"Yeah. They've had anything they could want, and not just material things, either. There's a lot of love in this house." Yami said.
"A lot of love in this family." Yuugi added.
"I think that we have the lives that most people dream about." Yami said.
"Yeah, we do. I wouldn't trade my life for anything." Yuugi said.
"Neither would I. We both have great lives, and there is nothing that could make them even better." Yami said.
Yuugi leaned up and kissed Yami, who eagerly kissed her back.
"One more round?" Yami asked.
"Why not?" Yuugi asked.
Yami then pounced on a giggling Yuugi.
The two were very happy with the way that their lives had turned out, and they wouldn't have it any other way.
Hope that you liked it.
