Yuzu's Death
Chapter 2
Sayuri Lapis: Well, Yuzu died. How is Yuya going to take things into his own hands? There will be some Yuya x Yuzu but not that much. I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V.
"So s-she's d-dead huh?" Yuya stuttered. "Unfortunately, she is dead. Her heart stopped beating. But fortunately the baby seems healthy. I'm not sure though." The midwife said.
The goggle haired teen took a look at his deceased wife. She was just lying there, like nothing. "Yuya?" Ayu asked.
"Yes Ayu, what do you want?" Yuya asked.
"You didn't pick out a name for the new baby. What's its name?" She asked. Yuya was speechless. "Shuzo, hand me my baby girl."
"Ok." Yuzu's father said and handed Yuya the bundle. Yuya sat down on the closest chair and looked at his daughter. His daughter looked back at him and smiled.
"Ah!" The baby giggled. Yuya smiled sadly and thought he should name her after her dead mother, but then he suddenly remembered the conversation with Yuzu a few months back.
*FLASHBACK*
Yuya and Yuzu were walking throughout the city after leaving the local hospital for Yuzu's appointment, holding each other's hands. "What did you think of the appointment?" Yuzu asked Yuya.
"It was entertaining. I got to see my little baby girl on screen." Yuya answered. "Did you also like the part where they took all of my clothes off for checkup?" Yuzu smirked.
Yuya blushed. "Y-y-yes." He answered, looking all flustered. "Tee hee, I know you are such an immature boy." Yuzu teased. Yuya then looked into Yuzu's eyes.
"Let's go to the park to talk about this." He told her. "Good Idea." Yuzu agreed.
As they arrived to the park, they saw young children playing on the playground and their mothers glaring at the teen couple and whispering to each other as Yuya and Yuzu walked by them.
Of course Yuya and Yuzu didn't mind at all because they were used to the rude stares.
"So, what do you want to name our baby?" Yuya asked.
Yuzu chuckled and took her husband's hand. "I didn't think about it yet." She said and stroked her own belly with the other hand. "What about you?"
"I didn't think of one either, but since it is a girl, we have to give it a feminine name." Yuya said.
"I think it should relate to nature." Yuzu said and looked into Yuya's eyes. "Yuya…" She uttered. "What is it Yuzu?" The goggle haired teen asked softly.
The pink haired girl slowly closed her eyes and scooted over to her husband. She then pressed his lips onto his and kissed softly.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"I think I shall name her Hana. Hana Sakaki." Yuya finally answered. "Good Choice." The midwife said as she wrote on her clipboard.
"Hana…" Yuya finally said, feeling hot tears slide down his eyes. His baby girl touched his wet cheeks. "Daa Daa." She blabbed.
"I will take good care of you." He whispered, holding the bundle.
Weeks later…
It was Yuzu's funeral. All of Yuzu and Yuya's family and friends were wearing their best clothes, mostly black though.
Yuya was sitting in the front, his hair was like usual, except no goggles. In front of him a black casket with a picture of Yuzu on top of it.
He could hear people whispering behind him. "It's such a shame that Yuzu died at a young age." A female voice whispered.
"I feel so bad for her parents, they must be heartbroken." Another whispered.
"What the hell? Why are children growing up faster and faster? Their bodies are not finished growing yet. They are still young."
"What was the name of the boy Yuzu married, I think Yuyo, or Yukia?"
"It's Yuya. Yuya Sakaki, The son of the legendary duelist."
"Well, if his dad is a legendary duelist, his son is sure a moron, Getting Shuzo's weak daughter pregnant. Doesn't Yuya know that?"
"If I were their parents, I would not let them marry at such a young age."
"I bet it was forced."
That was it for poor Yuya. He turned around and glared at them. "SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU ARE JUST BEING IGNORANT. IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT YUZU DIED AT AN EARLY AGE. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH SHE MEANT TO ME. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" He shouted.
"Let's go somewhere else and talk." The ladies whispered and walked away. "Yuya." A familiar voice called out. The goggle haired teen turned around and saw Nobaru walking up to him.
"Hey Nobaru." Yuya greeted.
"I feel really bad for you. I know it's going to be hard to care for your baby daughter without Yuzu." He said.
"Yeah, it's going to be hard. I'm going to have to move into Yuzu's house, because that's where the baby's room is." Yuya said. "Plus, I'm a single father now."
"I saw your mom, she's pretty angry with you." Nobaru said.
"How would you know that?" Yuya asked.
"I just saw her as I was walking up. I think she said that this funeral embarrassed her in front of her friends." Nobaru said as he wiped his nose with a tissue.
"Sorry, it's just that I am really sad today." Nobaru added as he wiped his eyes as well.
"So am I." Yuya whispered and tears came out of his eyes. "Why does she have to die Nobaru? Why? It's not fair!" He sobbed.
"I know, especially since she spent a lot of time preparing the nursery." Nobaru sobbed and hugged Yuya.
After the funeral, Ayu, Futoshi, and Tatsuya came up to Yuya and Nobaru. "Why does Yuzu-chan have to die like this?" Ayu and Futoshi bawled. Tatsuya walked up to Yuya.
"Are you still going to duel, Yuya?" The blue haired boy asked.
"Probably not." Yuya answered.
Nobaru stopped crying and looked at Yuya like he was an idiot. "Seriously, why are you going to stop dueling? It has been your passion." He cried.
"Yuzu's dead now and I have my daughter to care for. I can't duel and care for a baby at the same time. It's too much work." The goggle haired teen explained.
"But Yuya…" Nobaru started. "What about your father?"
"IT'S FINAL NOBARU!" Yuya screamed and punched him. "I'M RETIRING FROM DUELING! NO ONE CAN STOP ME! MY FATHER CAN COME BACK ANYTIME!" He stomped away. "Yuya-kun! Where are you going?" Futoshi asked.
"I'm going to the hospital to pick up Hana, my daughter." Yuya yelled, trying to fight tears.
Ayu, Futoshi, Tatsuya, and Nobaru watched Yuya walk away. "Poor kid…" Nobaru muttered, placing his hand on his sore cheek.
As Yuya arrived to the hospital, he sat down on a chair. "Sir, please give me your name and a reason why you are here," The nurse asked. "My name is Yuya Sakaki and I am here to pick up my daughter, Hana Sakaki, Floor 3, room 34." Yuya growled.
"Ok, let me check in." She ringed and dialed numbers on the phone. After she talked, she put the phone down. "You may go." She said.
"Thank you." Yuya stood up and walked up the stairs and into room 34. He knocked on the door and a blond haired nurse came out. "Are you Yuya Sakaki?" The nurse asked.
"Yes." The goggle haired teen nodded.
"We did a check up on Hana Sakaki, She seems perfectly healthy. Just have your wife feed her some formula or breast milk twice a day. By the way, is your wife around?" The eager nurse asked.
"My wife is dead." Yuya snarled, giving the nurse the death stare. "She died weeks ago, giving birth to my daughter."
The nurse's smile disappeared. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Then you can just feed her formula. We have some presents for you and Hana is here in the basket." The nurse said.
"Thank you." The goggle haired teen grumbled. He went inside the room and saw his daughter sleeping soundly in the basket. He also saw a bag filled with baby clothes, pacifiers, a bib saying Girls Rule on it, and other things.
If Yuzu was still alive, she would have been very happy and so would I. Yuya miserably thought. But due to her fuckin illness that killed her, I'm going to suffer this all alone.
