The Rain
Neferi: Hello everyone, here's a short story I wrote on a few rainy days around home.
Mera: That's right and with the help of a friend Neferi decided to post it here.
Neferi: Here's the disclaimer: I don't own YGO but I do own a few characters. I also don't own YYH.

It was a Monday afternoon in Domino. Rain poured down the skies all over the city and people were seen walking around covering themselves with umbrellas. Mostly couples were those who walked around, laughing and holding hands, not caring about the weather. Mera watched out the window from the Urameshi apartment and sighed. Her Pharaoh had been depressed and also pissed off since last week, and he wasn't paying attention to her. He was not being caring but instead cold and arrogant, just like Seto himself used to be. That brought Mera great pain in the heart and she needed to ease that ache soon.
"Mera I'm going out with Keiko" said her brother peering through the open door of her room.
"Alright big brother, have fun" replied the girl as she stared out the window.
She heard footsteps walk away and then the door closed. Yusuke was already out.
'Yami how I wish you would be the same as always' thought Mera 'Sadly you haven't said anything to me and I don't know how to help you'.
The girl made up her mind and went to talk with the Pharaoh, whom was on top of the apartments alone, watching Domino in rain. Yami sat on the border of the apartment looking at Domino as rain poured down. He observed how the happy couples walked away and how they kissed below the rain. He was getting wet, he wasn't using an umbrella and he didn't care. Lately he didn't care about anything at all, not his health, not even Mera. Yami heard the door behind him open and then close. Then footsteps approaching, to which he didn't pay attention.
"You're getting wet" said Mera in a soft voice "Cover yourself, you'll get sick".
"I don't care if I get sick" replied Yami harshly.
"Perhaps you don't, but I do" she replied gently approaching him slowly.
"Why would you care about me if I don't?" he asked coldly now.
Gentle hands were laid on one of his shoulders and on his back as Mera knelt beside him, also letting the rain drops fall on her.
"Because I simply do, I care for you Yami" stated Mera as she leaned her head against his shoulder.
"You care for me?" replied Yami sarcastically "Is as if you said that you had gone to space without the need of a suit to give you oxigen".
"I'm not lying Yami" said Mera looking at him with caring eyes "I could never lie to you".
"Yes, just as nobody could ever lie" snapped Yami.
Mera closed her eyes and sighed. She had no idea of what was wrong with him but it was making her feel bad. Yami felt as her hands were removed from him and then something warm covered him. A blanket Mera had brought just for him.
"That will keep you warm" she said softly.
Yami snorted "I don't need anything".
"Come on, let's go inside, the weather is getting worse" stated Mera.
Lighting had started to appear and what were gentle drops of rain turned into a huge amount of rain drops, hitting the skin and pavement rather hard and turning into annoying drops.
"Very well" agreed Yami standing up.
He stood up and followed Mera downstairs to the apartment. She entered followed by him and closed the door.
"Change into dry clothes and give me the wet ones" she said gently to him.
Yami almost glared at her but turned around and entered a room. After a few minutes he came out carrying his wet clothes, wearing dry ones. He was dressed as usual except that this time he was wearing black.
"Here" he said giving her the bundle of wet clothes.
Mera took it away and put them in the dryer. As she walked out of the room they had for a laundry Yami was walking over to the door.
"I'm going back home" he stated opening the door.
The former Pharaoh walked away and closed the door behind him, saying no goodbyes to his Queen. Mera sighed wearily and sat down on the couch in the living room.
'How can I help you when you won't let me?' she thought as she toyed with a strand of her long, shiny and dark hair.
Just then the phone rang and she went over to the kitchen to get it.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Mera?" asked Seto's voice "Are you alright?".
"Yes, why do you ask?" answered Mera.
"Your voice is trembling, it sounds as if you're nervous or worried" answered Seto.
"I'm alright Seto, don't worry about me" said the young girl "Why are you calling?".
"I wanted to know if you were alright, last time I saw you you looked sad and that worries me" answered Seto.
"I'm tired Seto so don't worry" she lied "But I'll call you if I don't feel well, to speak with you, is that ok with you?".
"Yes" answered Seto "Well, I have to go, take care".
"I will" assured Mera "You too take care".
Then both hung up. Mera walked over to the couch and sat down like before.
'I'm going to help Yami but I need someone else to help me, if not then there's nothing I can do' thought Mera 'I will call her and ask for her help'.
