a/n: I love mermaids and merpeople, so I ended up imagining cute lil' Yugi as one hehe. I'm sure there are other stories similar to this, if there are I haven't had a chance to read 'em yet. If I accidentally wrote the same idea as someone else, I'm sorry!!

Prologue:
Rain and wind pelted relentlessly down the glass pane. The small streams of rainwater ebbed and flowed together as if weaving a clear cloth over the glass.
Yami stood by the window in his apartment, staring outside. He sipped green tea in a cream colored mug, enjoying the warm tendrils of steam curling up from the hot liquid.
Faintly, through the curtains of falling drops Yami could catch watery glimpses of the ocean. It looked so frigid and turbulent, making him doubly glad of the light and warmth in his cozy living room.
He left the window and walked over to the television, turned it on and dropped onto a well loved couch.
"Record waves hitting shorelines, a warning has been issued," said the weatherman in a monotone.
Duh, Yami thought sarcastically, taking a deep swig out of his mug. I dare you, weatherman, to tell me something I don't already know.
"In several districts, there are reports of strange fish being washed ashore by the huge waves."
Hmm. That's more like it. Maybe something interesting will wash up on my beach. He leaned back.
"We still don't know where such a violent storm as this one originated, or why. Many viewers called in to ask why we didn't issue a warning ahead of time. We are sorry, but we didn't see it coming. One moment everything was normal, then the next...well, you see can see it for yourself."
Weird. Still, I'm sorry for anyone who might've been caught in this storm. He flicked the television off, deciding that when the storm was over he'd head out to his beach and explore what washed might have washed up.
