Emma
By: Yami Sennen
Emma was a kind, sweet girl. She came into the game shop one day. I could tell by the way she looked that she was sick. I walked over and smiled at her, Aibou was still at college, and I was at home with grandpa taking care of the game shop. Emma smiled back at me, of course at the time I didn't know her name. I noticed her mother and father standing over by the door, the mother looked as if she had been crying. "My name is Yami" I said to Emma.
"Hi Yami, my name is Emma" she smiled sweetly at me. Her long blonde hair, hung down to the middle of her back. She was wearing a black v-neck sweater, light blue blue jeans, and brown sandles. Her honey brown eyes were glittering with life even though her frail body showed that she was very sick.
"It's very nice to meet you Emma, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I'm looking for a game to play while I'm in the hospital" she looked as if she were holding back tears. One of the tears slipped down her cheek. "I'm sorry, I'm such a weakling" she said quietly.
I put my left hand on her right shoulder and gave her an understanding, sympathetic look. "Crying doesn't show weakness Emma. It shows courage and strength."
The tears flowed freely down her cheeks, she looked at me with a greatful look in her eyes. I couldn't help but smile. "I don't have any friends that come to visit me in the hospital" she said quietly. "I came here to get a game so that I have something to do" she wiped her tears away.
I knew that she needed a friend. "Emma, I'll tell you what. You tell me what hospital you're in, and I'll come visit you."
"Really Yami? You would do that?" Her eyes were as wide as dinner plates.
"Yes, yes I would."
"Okay, I'm in Domino City hospital, room 301, you can come over whenever you want" she was so happy.
I chuckled at her expression. "Okay, but we should probably have something to do, that way we don't just end up talking, we can have fun at the same time."
"Okay! What all do you do?"
"I mostly play Duel Monsters, but that was a while ago. I like trying new things though. So you pick out ANYTHING you want to do, and we can have fun."
"Okay!"
"I'll be by tomorrow."
"Okay, goodbye Yami!" She waved as she walked out the door. I didn't notice it at the time, but her mother had sent her out the door with her father, while she stopped me.
"E-Excuse me?" She said shakily.
I turned around and looked at her. Her blue eyes were still watery, her face still young looking despite the bags that were under her eyes. Her blonde hair hanging just below her shoulders. She was wearing a black zip-up jacket, blue jeans, and white tennis shoes. "Yes?" I asked her.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't help but overhear the conversation you had with my daughter. Are you really going to come and visit Emma?"
I smiled, I knew that she was worried I was lying. "I really am. I just have to make sure that my grandfather will be okay while I'm gone visiting her."
She smiled, it wasn't a smile that touched her eyes, but it was a smile that told me her worries were somewhat relieved. "Emma has cancer. She doesn't have long to live. They let her out today long enough to come get a game, and Emma said that she used to see this shop all the time. She wanted to come here and pick out a game."
The words that she had just said sent a chill through me. I just realized the reality of this situation. That young girl was going to die, and in a last minutes hope, she chose to reach out to me.
"Emma is such a sweetheart, she smiles brightly at everyone she meets. For being sixteen, she's very mature for her age. We're so glad that we've gotten to say goodbye to her. Theres a lot of people out there that don't get to say goodbye to their children."
"I understand. I promise you that I will be there to visit Emma. I know that right now she needs a friend, and I'll be that friend."
"Thank you, so much. You have no idea what this will mean to Emma. Or what it means to me" A stray tear fell down her cheek.
I placed my right hand on her left shoulder. "I don't know exactly what you're going through. I do know what it's like to lose someone you care about. I lost someone that I care about for a little bit, the difference is, I got him back. The point is, I understand what it feels like to lose someone you care about."
She smiled at me. "Thank you so much. My husband and I are forever greatful to you."
"It's no problem at all. Just help Emma find something fun to do when I come visit."
"I will, thank you so much."
"You're welcome. Have a great day, and take care of Emma."
"I will. Have a good day Yami."
"You too."
I waved at her as she left. Aibou came home later that day and I had already closed up shop and went upstairs. I was lying across his bed in his room, my feet up on the wall and my head hanging off the edge. I wasn't really paying attention, I had been dazing out for a while after talking to Emma and her mother. Yugi stopped beside me, bent down and turned his head to the side so he was looking at me the same way I was looking at him. "Hellooo, Earth to Yami!"
I blinked "Huh? Oh sorry Aibou, I was spacing out."
"Noticed" He said standing back up. He got up on his bed and sat on his knees, straddling my hips.
I sat up and looked at him. "Can I help you with something?"
"Not much" he purred tracing his finger across my chest. Yugi and I had been together for a while. We had hugged, kissed, cuddled, and bathed together, but we hadn't yet taken that final step. Sure we got pretty close to it, but we decided to wait a little longer before we went that far.
"Right" I said, lowering my eyelids. He leaned forward and kissed me on the lips. I put my feet down and sat up, holding him against me. I laid him down on his back, crawling on top of him. I smiled, breaking the kiss, to pull away and look at him. "I love you Aibou."
"I love you too Mou Hitori no Boku." Yugi noticed the distracted look in my eye. "Yami? What's wrong?"
"Yugi... I met a girl today... Her mother said that she had cancer, she's not expected to live much longer..." I was looking to left between the mattress and the wall when I told him, so I'm not sure what his facial reaction was.
"Th-That's terrible" I heard him gasp.
"The girl is sixteen Yugi." I turned to look at him "She doesn't have any friends that come and visit her. She came here on her only day out of the hospital so she could get a game to play while she sat in her hospital bed alone."
"Poor girl" Yugi had a sad look on his face. I put my hands up on his face, bringing him in for a kiss.
"You're such a sweetheart my dear Aibou."
"And you're such a lover my dear Yami."
I chuckled, we cuddled, and fell asleep in each others arms. No one is a better lover than my dear Aibou. Anything he can do to help me or anyone else, he would do it. No matter the risk that he himself took.
Me: Sorry, the story ended up being to long for a oneshot type story :P So it's been divided, and I divided it for Yami :P lol
