The Rain
Neferi: Here's the next chappie and it's the last! Disclaimer: I don't own YGO nor YYH nor Katrina Kamera, she's property of my good friend LoveLiesBleeding2 and I thank her a lot for letting me use her OC.
So the girls kept on dueling while Joey went to speak with Yami. When he got to the Game Shop Mr. Mutou let him in and he went directly to Yami's room. After knocking the door Yami let him in.
"What is it?" asked Yami looking at Joey.
"I heard you and Mera are fighting" answered Joey.
Yami's expression changed to one with anger.
"I believe she forgot what is privacy" he said turning around and sitting on the bed.
"And I believe you forgot asking to her first about the matter, because maybe what has reached your ears is a lie" replied Joey sitting on the desk's chair.
"So you're on her side" stated Yami eyeing him.
"I am because I believe Mera, I doubt she would ever make out with rich boy 'cause I'm well aware that she is devoted to you" replied Joey looking at Yami "And you well know that she is".
Yami looked at him but said nothing.
"I came here from her part because she wants to clear things out Yami, she misses you and if you haven't noticed, she's suffering" continued Joey "And by the look in your eyes right now you also miss her. You want to be with her, isn't that right?".
Yami didn't reply, he just looked out the window.
"Think about what I told you, do your own digging in the matter and find out" said Joey "I better go, Serenity was waiting for me to go to the market".
He turned around to leave the room but then remembered something "Oh yeah, Mera told me to give you this".
He took out the envelope and gave it to Yami, who looked at it.
"See ya later" waved Joey walking away.
Yami stared at the envelope and finally opened it. The first thing he found was a photograph of him and Mera. They were both smiling, Yami was standing behind Mera with his arms around her. Yami put the picture aside and then took out a letter addressed to him. He read it:
Dear Yami:
I'm deeply regretting slapping you earlier because it also hurts me to have to cause pain to the ones I love in order to keep my dignity. I apologize for that. Also I want you to know that I miss you dearly and that I wish everything would be fine between us. I don't know how told you that I was making out with Seto but those are lies. I have proof that they are lies Yami so let me show them. Call Kaiba Corp. and ask for Seto Kaiba, the truth lies in that call. If you want to see me again after making that call then meet me at the park in front of the fountain at 4:30 p.m. today. I'll be waiting for you up to 5 o'clock. If you don't come then I understand. I hope this letter gets to you in time and that it is not lost for it is very important to me.
I love you with all my heart:
Mera
In his heart, Yami hoped that Mera's words were true so he decided to call Kaiba.
"Kaiba Corp. in what may I serve you?" asked a secretary.
"Yes, is Kaiba there?" asked Yami.
"Who is this that is speaking?" asked the secretary politely.
"Yami Mutou" he answered.
"Yes Mr. Mutou, I'll transfer your call to him" announced the secretary.
Yami only waited a few moments and then he was answered.
"Mokuba Kaiba here, what's up Yami?" answered the little brother.
"Mokuba? What are you doing there? Where's your brother?" asked Yami.
"It's funny you ask Yami, Seto went to a business trip last week" answered Mokuba smiling "And he won't return yet until three days".
Mera waited for Yami under her umbrella in the accorded place. She was wearing black boots now and a tan colored coat that reached her knees that covered the lace-half sleeve jean dress she wore, since the day was getting colder. The girl looked impatiently at her watch.
'Only five minutes until it's five o'clock' she thought impatiently 'What if Yami doesn't show up? No! Think positively, he will come'.
She waited patiently and heard the clock in the park strike five. She knew Yami very well, he would have been there already, he was very responsible and liked to get early to a place where he was going to see someone. So he was not going to be there.
'I understand' thought Mera as tears filled her eyes 'At least I try'.
She turned around and started running as the tears made their way down her cheeks. Then she stumbled with something and fell to the floor. The girl landed straight on her stomach as the umbrella slipped away from her hands and fell beside her.
'Yami…why are you not here…?' she thought as she started sobbing and covered her face with her hands, not caring if she had fallen or if her knees were bleeding for she had injured herself.
"May I help you?" said a voice to her.
A hand took hers and helped her sit down as the kind person took the umbrella. Then the person cleaned her tears. Mera looked at him/her.
"Yami" she said softly as she threw herself in his arms.
"Sorry I'm late love, the traffic was terrible and I couldn't cross the streets as fast as I wanted. The drivers wouldn't let me cross" he smiled as he squeezed the girl gently in his arms "You're getting more wet than what you are right now, let me take you home, I don't want you getting sick".
"I'm so glad you came" she whispered softly.
Yami smiled again "I'm glad to be back with you Mera, but let's go".
He helped her stand up and putting an arm around her both walked away to the Urameshi apartment. Yami held her close to him, trying that Mera wouldn't feel too cold on the way home while he held the umbrella with the other hand.
"When we get home I'll treat your injuries, you have a few scratches that look bad" he said as they crossed a street.
They got to the apartment sooner than what they thought. As Yami closed the door behind him Mera took off her wet jacket and went to put it on the laundry.
"Wait a moment" said Yami picking her up "I'll take that and you will stay here".
He set her down on the sofa. Then he walked away. A few moments later he came back with the first aid kit and two towels. He gave one to Mera, who instantly began to dry her arms and legs.
"Alright, let's see…" murmured Yami sitting down on the floor and looking at one of her knees.
He noticed that the dress she wore was slightly short. Yami shook his head and started working on her knees.
"That hurts" murmured Mera softly as she passed the towel on her arms.
"You're not showing any pain" he replied looking at her.
"That's my way" stated Mera.
After he had treated her knees and another scratches he found he let Mera change into more dry clothes. He sat down on the sofa and sighed.
'I'm glad she's alright' he thought 'That she's with me again'.
Mera entered the living room wearing some jeans, flip flops and a shirt that said 'Don't stare too much or I might get you burned'. Yami chuckled as the girl sat down beside him.
"I'm sorry" he said gently as he brought Mera closer to him.
Mera nuzzled her head on his upper chest "It's alright".
Yami kissed her forehead and then his lips traveled to hers. They kissed each other fervently for a little while. When things were getting a little heated up a knock was heard on the door. Mera parted from the kiss and cursed under her breath.
"Shoot" she murmured.
"Ra' damn it, can't we have some quality time around here without being interrupted?" said Yami a little irritated.
"Apparently not" said Mera standing up.
She made it to the door and opened it to receive Joey who was dragging Katrina.
"I figure you and Yami might be here so we came by to chat for a while" he smiled as Katrina crossed her arms in disapproval.
"Come in" said Mera politely.
Both entered and Joey went over to the living room while Katrina talked with Mera.
"I told him not to come because you might be having a moment but he kept insisting until he finally dragged me here" said Katrina "I'm sorry Mera".
"Don't worry" said Mera "I suppose Yami will get him later for that".
They all sat down on the living room and chatted for a while. The rain kept on falling outside the apartment. As the others talked Mera looked out a nearby window.
'I'm glad to have good friends like this' she thought 'That help me through my problems and are there when I need them. I feel blessed by that and I thank the gods'.
"Are you alright?" asked Yami softly looking at her.
"Yes" the girl smiled at him.
Yami went over to her and gave her hug from behind and both stared out the window as the rain poured down the skies all over the city and people were seen walking around covering themselves with umbrellas.
