Hey there, my fellow writers and readers.. :) I wish you all a Happy Mother's Day, of course. Well, here's a new BtVS/Yu-Gi-Oh crossover ficlet that I cooked up one day; this time, it has the theme of Mother's Day. Hope you like reading it as much as I did writing it.. :)

Mother's Day
"Happy Mother's Day, Joyce."
Joyce looked up from the Mother's Day card she'd gotten from Faith and Buffy and smiled at the handmade card that Yami was handing to her.
"Oh, Yami... this is lovely," she said as she took it from him. The card looked really beautiful; Faith and Buffy (who were sitting next to Joyce on the couch) could tell simply by looking at it. They also knew that Yami had been working really hard on it for the past few days. The front cover had a border of Egyptian hieroglyphics, and a picture Yami had drawn of a smiling Joyce in what seemed to be Egyptian clothing. Still smiling, Joyce then opened the card; inside was a picture of her, Yami, Faith and Buffy on the right side; on the left were these words:
"I know I may not be your son by blood,
but I just want to say
That no matter what happens, you are a great mother
for my sisters and I each and every day.
Happy Mother's Day.
Love,
Yami."
Faith and Buffy couldn't help smiling themselves at seeing those words. To them, it was an example of how Yami saw them as the second family he'd always wanted, as well as how he saw Joyce as his second mother (since his first mother, whom they had long since heard about, had died a long time ago). Joyce knew that, and she loved Yami, and also appreciated him being there for her, Faith and Buffy. To her, Yami was the son she had always wanted, but never got.
Nice feedback is very much appreciated, of course.. :)
