A/N: Thanks for reading :) Here's the last chapter :) Enjoy! – Razzleteddy

"Bakura, brother. Don't you think you have the gas on a little bit too high?"

Bakura just rolled his eyes in a bit of annoyance "Ryou please, I know how to work the grill here." He then smirked when the fire blazed up "All right," he rubbed his hands together "It's ready to go, hand of some meat."

Ryou couldn't help but creased his brow a little worried as he did so, very reluctantly "But it might be a little too hot, you don't want to end up burn-"

"Ryou, god damn." Bakura snatched the plate of meat away from him with a warning glare "Stop nagging me. God you worse than Marik."

"I'm sorry." Ryou saddened his eyes a little "I'm was just trying to help."

"Well, you don't need to." Bakura only growled at him.

"I'm sorry brother," Ryou frowned more. He didn't mean to upset him "I'll just go see what Malik and Yugi are up to," he then turned around and left slowly.

Bakura inhaled a long breath while he heard the hurt feelings in his brother's voice so he stopped what was doing with some regret. He knew Ryou was just trying to help and he didn't mean to snap at him "Ah bloody hell. I hate when he does that." He shook his head somewhat and put down plate of meat so he can go apologize "Ryou, wait a sec."

Seto sat back quietly as he watched him go then smirked slight amused, they always seem to have a weird brotherly relationship. They're so opposite of one another and yet the same, he could never understand it but he guess that how brothers are.

He sighed heavily while he leaned back letting his thoughts drift and contemplated on things that has been. He thought about his own brother, on how he slightly changed, he could see that Mokuba's stronger, more aware. How ironic he thought, that one night could change a person so traumatically.

He furrowed his brow a bit sadly though, when his thoughts slowly drifted to his beloved mother. Ever since Baiko reveal his mother's shameful secret that night, that she would betrayed her own husband's love for an insane one, he still couldn't believe it, maybe… he doesn't want to. Still, will he ever forgive her for what she did? He sighed again, he doesn't know that either.

Suddenly he heard laughter coming from the right of him, so he turned and smiled faintly when he spotted his brothers far in the distant, sitting under a tree. He viewed the first boy Mokuba, who was laughing, talking, enjoying himself and showing that tender smile. He thought he'd never see his brother's smile again, never seeing him laugh. But there it was, gracing his face, oh how happy he was for his Mokie. He viewed him for few moments more before turning his attention to the next boy, Noa. He still couldn't believe it. He couldn't actually believe he'd invited him to join the family. Hell, as he remembered it, it was shocking for Noa too…

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Noa blinked while he sat there completely stunned, he couldn't believe on what he just heard. Was it a joke, was it a dream? Hell, maybe he just missed understood. He swallowed hard already feeling his throat go dry before he utter out the words in a form of a whisper "What did you say?"

Seto softened his brow a little while he viewed the boy's surprising face "I've arranged to adopt you."

"Whoa, are you serious Seto?" Mokuba blurted out surprised himself, he never expected this was coming, he couldn't believe it either. However, after a moment of doubt passed his face. He viewed his brother's eyes and from that he knew… he meant what he said. So, he brightened with happiness "Oh boy! Do you hear that Noa!" he embraced him tightly.

Noa however was still stunned with the news and slowly, he began to wonder if it was true. For a long time now he had dream of wanting a family, someone who cares, someone who would want him back. Then he thought of the way he was, the damage that was force on him by his last so called guardian "But why?" he saddened his eyes "Why do you want me?" he sucked in a small tearful breath "I'm no good."

"Noa, of course you are." Akio pulled him into a strong hug, wanting to ease the boy's uncertainty "Don't say that, you deserve this and need it."

"But why?" Noa asked again with more sadness.

Seto furrowed his brow seriously then went over and knelt in front of him while never breaking his stare. He gently took the boy's hand into his "Because… you belong here, we want you. Please say yes."

Noa then looked deep within his eyes, so deep that he wanted to make sure he was indeed telling the truth. And there he saw... something he wasn't expecting from him. He saw a hint of love and from this he knew Seto was telling the truth. So, he swallowed some tears down as he reached out and embraced him strongly, feeling for once happy "Yes. I will... I will."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Seto couldn't help but smile a little on that memory, he was pleased that Noa had decided to accept his offer. He knew the boy would have a good life here with them, deep down he knew.

"Hey babe, whatcha doing?"

Seto sighed as he felt his love sit down on the arm of his chair and slowly played with his hair "Oh nothing… just thinking."

Joey leaned into him caringly as he gazed off in the distant. He inhaled a breath, feeling for the first time completely stress free "About what?"

"Oh…" Seto grasped his hand softly "Just things..." He softened his eyes a bit, thinking over his thoughts more. "You know... I'm starting to feel that things are finally getting back to normal again. There was a time when I never thought it would. I'm actually looking forward on going back to work full time." He laughed a little before sighing once more as he gazed over to where his little brothers were, just enjoying themselves with no worries plaguing them. He smiled then, glad of that "They look so happy don't they."

Joey then viewed off to where he was staring and grinned when he saw what he was looking at "Yeah... they do." He snuggled even closer to him "I still can't believe it."

"What."

"Noa, being here with us… you sure did a good thing here babe, you know."

Seto smiled a little more while he gazed them over once more "I know."

"Does Seto really have all those white dragon cards?" Noa asked astonished before viewing over his hand for his card to put down "I heard those are rare."

Mokuba nodded a little as he gazed over his own hand with as small smile "Yup. He keeps them lock away along with his deck so no one can steal them." He explained then place down his card "Your turn."

"Really, wow your brother is so cool." Noa smirked as he placed down his card.

"You mean..." Mokuba looked up happily to his newfound sib "Our brother."

Noa paused at that while he thought a for moment "Yeah... our brother." He then shook his head somewhat "I still can't believe it Mok. You know, I always hoped for something like this to happen and now..." He swallowed a little hard while starting to get teary eyed "I'm so happy to be here."

Mokuba reached out and patted his shoulder supportively "Me too."

"Well..." Noa cleared his throat a bit, wanting to go back to the subject at hand "Do you think Seto would show me his deck if I ask him?" he creased his brow curiously, hoping he would.

"Sure, what not."

"Cool," Noa only smiled.

"Noa, Mokuba, come inside for a second. Seto and I have something to give you."

Mokuba heard Joey call from the distant and turned around with a raised brow, wondering what it was "What?" he called back to him.

"It's a surprise, goof."

Mokuba heard him call back his reply causing him to grin big, he loves surprises "Oh boy, a surprise. I wonder what it is."

Noa grinned himself "Well, there's only one way to find out. Come on!" He jumped up and ran toward the house with Mokuba close behind.

"Surprise, what surprise? I don't remember getting them a surprise." Seto then crossed his arms with some seriousness "Joey Wheeler, what are you up to?"

Joey carried in a huge box with only a smirk while Seto gave him a wondering look. He smirked more before he carefully placed it down upon the floor.

"What's in the box?" Seto asked finding it curious himself.

"You'll see." Joey gave him a wink just as Noa and Mokuba came running in "Ah here you are. Ready for your surprise?" he gave them each a knowing smile.

"Yeah!"

"Well..." Joey strolled over and stood next to Seto who hadn't changed his expression. However, he just wrapped his arm around him while he pointed "There it is."

The two boys turned to where he was pointing and spotting a huge gift-wrapped box sitting there, itching to be opened. Mokuba grinned then ran over and knelt down, viewing the tag that was on top "To Mokuba and Noa. I hope you like it. Love Seto & Joey. Oh boy!" He looked down with wonder when the box moved a little, giving off a small sound.

"Did that box just squeak?" Seto raised his brow more, getting a bad feeling.

Mokuba then became more excited as he and Noa began to open up the package at lighting speed. Seto on the other hand, heard the squeaking once more and didn't take long for him to know what it was "Joey, you-didn't."

However, before he got a reply from him, he was interrupted by a happy glee.

"Puppies!"

"Wow!" Noa beamed from ear to ear, he grabbed one and caressed it in his arms.

Seto felt his face turned pale when heard that dreadful word. He inhaled a deep breath "You did." He was about to say something else when he was immediately embraced tightly. He looked down at Mokuba who were beaming with happiness.

"Oh Seto, thank you big brother!" Mokuba hugged him tightly, he couldn't believe Seto actually did this "It just what I always wanted."

"Can we really keep them Seto?" Noa looked up at him with happy eyes.

Seto viewed Noa playing with one of the puppies in his arms. He then turn with a deep breath to Joey's awaiting look and from that he was stuck. He viewed back down to Mokuba's joyous eyes and paused for a long moment. Damn he couldn't say no to that, he's going to kill Joey for this "Well... of course you can." He smoothed his bangs back somewhat "I'm glad you like them."

Mokuba smiled more and gave him a finally squeeze before moving over to Joey who was beaming himself. He embraced him strong "Thanks Joey, your the best."

Joey laughed a bit as he reached down and embraced him back, from all the pain they've gone through he was so glad to see him happy again. "No problem Mok."

Mokuba then released him and ran back over to his own puppy. He gazed it over for a second before he picked it up and cuddled it his arms. He looked up to Noa who was playing with his own "What should we name them Noa?"

"Don't know, come on let's go show the others!"

"Ok!"

The two boys got up and race outside to show everyone their newfound joy. Joey smiled more as he walked over to the patio door and viewed out, watching the two show them off to everyone.

Seto slowly walked over and stood next to him with his arms crossed. He couldn't believe Joey did this without disusing it with him first. But he knew why he did and how much he hated to admit it, he was grateful. "Brown eyes." He smirked somewhat while he gazed over his two brother's happy smiles "I'm going kill you later."

Joey chuckled a little before wrapping his arm around him tenderly as he knew he wasn't very upset with him. Yes, Seto was right, the shadows were gone forever from their lives and things were finally back to normal. He viewed over to two boys, Mokuba's newfound strength and Noa's ongoing smile.

"I suppose." He smiled himself "But it sure was worth it babe."
