Of faith, hope and glory

Yami sat on the couch and began reading the diary. Nazura had left to get some groceries and left him alone with her serpent army. He didn't mind too much, the only one hanging around him was Verdy, and he was sleeping on the other end of the couch.
The writing became more disturbing and some were almost impossible to read. Yami finished the entire diary just as Nazura came back. He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. The snake girl just looked at him as he tossed the book onto the coffee table and walked into the bedroom.
Nazura looked at him strangely before feeding all thirty snakes (including her four cobras and the two Nazure) and sitting down to read the book. Kalnaz and Kainaz hovered around the table, sensing an unusual depression and warui (evil) emanating from the book.
"December tenth, Dear Diary, I'm Yugi Muto. I'm a duelist and a sophomore at Domino High, even though I'm the height of an 8-year-old child. And my best friend in the whole wide world is a reincarnated 5000-year-old pharaoh named Yami. Well...that's all for now...Bye!"
Nazura laughed and skipped ahead a few pages. On the page she landed on, before she started, something poked her. Wedged in one of the four clawed hands of Kainaz, was a glass of milk. The snake-girl laughed and took the glass, thanking the smarter of her serpent guardians and returning to her reading.
Her eye did catch the splotches of blood in the corner of the page.
"January third. Dear Diary, It's only me. Sorry about the blood. Mom got mad at me because I accidentally broke one of the plates while I was doing the dishes. She normally doesn't go off like that. I guess her date last night didn't go too well. I'm gonna go and put another bandage on my arm. Bye."
Nazura paused again, taking a deep breath and jumping ahead a few more pages. She drank the entire glass of milk and returned to her reading.
"January fifteenth. Dear Diary, I don't know what I should do. Mom put me in intensive care two weeks ago when she flew into a fit of rage. I didn't do anything. When her love life is good, then she is good. I guess it's been really bad lately. I didn't tell Yami about it. He was gone those few weeks, off at some concert tour or something. I don't know. He seems to be better at avoiding my mom that anyone. Or he is just lucky..."
Nazura's voice trailed off. She felt a knot form in her throat. Kainaz nudged her and seemed to emit a soft crooning or purring sound, countered by Kalnaz and his deep purring noises. Nazura regained her voice and continued reading.
"...But no matter. I have a broken leg, a broken arm, a few cracked ribs and cuts all over my good arm and I've felt dizzy and lightheaded over the past few days. If this happens again, the police are going to take her...if I tell them anyways. Bye."
Again, the snake-girl jumped ahead a few pages. This page wasn't written in Yugi's handwriting, and it was splattered with blood.
"February fourth. Dear Yugi's Diary, I tried so hard to raise him. But I lost control. He's lying on the floor, over there. I...I don't know if he is alive or not. I can't let this continue. The police are here. I have to go."
Nazura dropped the diary on the floor and drew her legs up to her chest and cried. Kainaz stopped his purring and slithered over to the room Yami had shut himself in and tapped on the door with two hands.
(Note, the Nazure are the snake-girl's guardians. They look like large cobras [Kainaz is roughly six feet tall and Kalnaz is eight and a half] with four, seemingly thin, arm with technically two 'fingers' and a thumb, kind of like a bird's talons, for hands. Kainaz is the smarter one while Kalnaz is the stronger one.)
Yami stepped out of the room to see Nazura crying. He put one arm around her to comfort her but she pushed him away. She wiped her tears away and stood up.
"I'm going to the game shop. I'm returning the diary." She said.
One of her cobras slithered onto Yami's shoulder, and he tensed. Nazura looked at it and shook her head.
"I'm going alone."
"Be careful."
She snapped.
"Don't give me any of that crap Yami. You're to stay here until I return. I don't need to be careful. I don't need you either!"
And she left, slamming the door behind her.
Yami sank to his knees, cobra falling to the carpet and looking at him. His hands were curled over his heart and tears began to form in his eyes. And in a faint whisper...
"Oh my darling, I loved you..."
