Yu-Gi-Oh!: Sakura's Lullaby

It was a cold, starry evening in Domino City. Gentle winds blew drifts of snow onto the darkened streets. Yugi was out getting dinner for him and Tea, his wife, while she was back at the Game Shop, watching their newborn daughter, Sakura. After Battle City, Yami returned to Ancient Egypt, to rule with Anzu, his wife. Now, the Millennium Puzzle was at the museum, since there was no use keeping it anymore.
Meanwhile, Tea was setting the table for dinner. After being married to her beloved Yugi, nothing surprised her anymore, except if something happened to the baby. Now that Yugi was taller than she was, he could easily run the Game store on his own, as well as protect Tea. A loud wail interrupted Tea's thoughts.
Walking into the nursery, Tea picked the screaming infant, who resembled her mother. Sakura cooed as Tea cuddled her. She walked over to the rocking chair, and stroked Sakura's dark brown locks, and sang a lullaby:
Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
The night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All Souls pass
Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping
Misaki's eyes closed, as she drifted off to sleep, comforted by her mother's voice.
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
Tea smiled, and placed Sakura in her cradle, before covering her with a soft yellow blanket. She kissed Sakura's forehead, and shut the door. "Nice song," Yugi commented, as he kissed her. Tea smiled, "I'm glad you think so. I love you, Yugi." "I love you, too," Yugi said, and he kissed her sweetly, as the snow swirled outside and the stars shone overhead.
