Clover

Leaf 3: A Duet Only Birds Know

If you are lost in your way
Deep in an awesome story
Don't be in doubt and stray
Cling to your lonesome folly

Yami hunted around the alleyways. He finally found who he was looking for. There was a poor man weaving birdcages and selling them. One of the cages had a bird in it. A green bird. A real bird, not a replicant.

"Oh, you're back again I see." The man said.

"I want to buy the bird." Yami said.

The man smiled weakly.

"It's expensive." The man said.

"I'll pay 5 oku for it." (5 oku = 5 billion yen = 5 million US dollars)

"Deal."

Yami walked to the concert in high spirits.

$$$

"I'm going to be on in a few minutes Yugi." Aura said.

"I'll be listening, and singing along with you."

Aura paused.

"Yugi, have you ever heard of something called the Clover Leaf Project?"

Yugi nearly fell over. Did he hear her right?

"Yes...I've heard of it."

"I was part of it."

"...!"

Aura went on.

"But I was only a one leaf. All I could do was predict my death."

"Aura!"

"They branded me with the clover mark and sent me home."

"Aura..."

"Yugi...I'm going to die today."

Yugi tried to hide his tears.

"I don't know how I will die, but I know that my heart..."

"No..."

"My heart will just stop."

Yugi flew to the window. It was raining. He could still hear Aura speak.

"Yugi, will you sing with me...at my last concert?"

Yugi hesitated.

"Yugi?"

...

"Yes. I will sing with you."

&&&&

Aura walked out on stage in a black dress. She wore, as part of her constume, wings almost exactly like Yugi's. She smiled, and Yami thought she looked more beautiful than ever. The music started and she sang for hours. She warmed up for her last song. Only she knew it though.

"This song is my wish. I wrote it with one of my dearest friends."

Yami never suspected a thing.

"Now for you all...this is 'Clover'."

No one knew.

"I wish for happiness
I seek happiness

To find happiness with you
To be your happiness

So take me somewhere far away
Far from here
Take me there

Soaked feathers
Locked fingers
New tears
Old song

So take me somewhere far away

Birds without wings
Birds without voices
Birds together
Lucky birds

So take me somewhere far away

I wish for happiness
I seek to find it with you
So take me somewhere far away

Please take me there

Take me somewhere far away..."

Yugi was singing with Aura through the song, tears running down his cheeks.

Once the song ended, a gunshot rang out. Blood spurted from Aura's chest, right through her clover brand. She fell to the ground, dead. And Yami broke into about a million pieces.

Yami returned the bird to the man out on the street. He told him to keep the money and walked home broken. Shadi met him at the alley.

"You knew. That's why you destroyed my memories." Yami said, voice full of malice.

"Yes. I knew. Hurry home Pharaoh. Radament wants to speak with you."

"Aura!!!!" Yugi cried, banging his fists against the glass.

Yugi turned around and opened his fist. He blew on it, as if blowing sand away. There was an image that appeared, like a hologram. It was a woman with strait white hair. She looked like a fairy, pretty and young. That was his Aura.

"Radament? Sir?" Yugi asked, flying over to the screen.

"Yes?"

"I want a statue made. I want one of Aura."

Yami checked the answering machine once he got home. He was to report to the birdcage in a week for his special assignment.

"Damn you Shadi."
