Shadu: Alrighty then! Here's yet another chappie.
Yugi never knew that the creatures he had read about in his books could, and sometimes did, exsist. He only thought that they were simply pictures. But the question of how the people knew what they looked like never had occurred to him. And that's how he, and his mom, was awaken later that night, just as the darkness reached it's darkest point and the full moon was at its peak.
Harusame was arroused by an eeire howling outside the window. She pulled Yugi tighter against her in a movement of protection. Sitting up, she listened. There they were again. The howls of the night, of something of the night that was unknown. They were getting closer. The came, closer, closer, closer until...
A great bang and clatter from down stairs signaled to her that they had entered the house. For what reason, she didn't know, nevertheless she could hear them. They stalked up the stairs. But what were they? She could hear the thud, thud, thud up the stairs. She could hear the snarling breathing of the creatures that were now only seperated by the door.
All of a sudden, a great cracking noise filled the air. Yugi awoke just in time to see a wolve-like creature lung at him. Harusame moved out of the way and began to run for the door. However, before she could get there, another entered the room.
Yugi knew what these creatures were. He had seen them before, in one of his books. They were werewolves. He knew that, while wolves and werewolves share a shocking resemblence, they were not the same. For one thing, werewolves were a little more human-like. Werewolves were also, as a general rule, more aggressive and would rather kill than look at you twice. Yugi was now finding that out first hand.
Harusame put Yugi down behind here and picked up a nearby pipe thanks to the remodeling and repiping they had down not to long ago. She swung it wildly to try and ward off the creatures. Still, it wasn't working, and Yugi could do nothing but watch. It wasn't long at all before Harusame was down. Yugi cried on his mom, or at least he would have, if he could move.
The werewolves advanced towards the shaking Yugi. They were about to attack when a extremely loud sound stopped them. They backed away and ran. Yugi watched them leave, and then looked at his mother.
"Mommy?" he called softly. "Mommy, are you okay?"
"Yugi," Harusame spoke weakly. "Yugi, come here."
Yugi crawled around to the front side of his mom. She held out her hands, which Yugi crawled in. He was frightened and only the arms of his mom could comfort him. And yet, they didn't give him as much comfort as he hoped.
"Yugi, I want you to be strong, no matter what happens," Harusame whispered in his ear.
"You're going to be okay, right?" Yugi looked up at his mom.
He expected her to nod her head yes. He expected her to tell him that everything would be okay. But he didn't get that. Instead, she just held him close and whispered how much she loved him in his ear. Yugi began to cry; he knew what was going to happen to her.
"Hush, Yugi, hush," she soothed.
Yugi still continued to sob until she began to softly sing her specail lullaby in his ear. When she knew he was asleep, and that there was nothing more she could do, she closed her eyes, and allowed herself to pass on. She had comforted Yugi for the last time, and now, she had to go where all the dead go. And she was hesitant to leave Yugi, but went anyway, knowing that there was no other way. She couldn't delay it any further either.
With her last breath, she whispered, "Gomen, my little light."
Shadu: ::sniff:: That made me cry a little. By the way, gomen it's so short. But I gotta get to bed. Toodles. (Oh, and uh, do me a favor and review please?)
