Chapter 1 Opal Figure and Teasing


Yugi and his friends, Joey, Tristan, and Tea were on a twenty foot and an average eight to ten wide motor boat called the Heart's Pride. Yugi's Grandpa owned the ship, and with the help of a close friend, Mr. Toranaga and a two other friends would help sail and motor the ship.

Grandpa Solomon is currently standing by the bow smiling happily to himself. Towards the back of the Heart's Pride, Yugi and Joey stood looking over the starboard side. Tristan and Tea are a few feet away enjoying the view.

Today's a nice day, a soft breeze, the sea calm, the perfect day to spend some time on Heart's Pride.

"Man, today's a good day in it Yug?" Joey asked, stretching his arms a bit before looking at the view in front of him.

"Yeah, I'm glad you guys came along." Yugi answered.

"Are you kidding? Hangin' out with you is fun!" Tristan pointed out.

"And it was getting pretty darn lame at home." Tea added.

"Yea man, it's always fun hangin' out wit ya." Joey said.

"Yugi, its lunch time!" Grandpa shouted, everyone but Yugi cheered for lunch and headed towards Grandpa.

Yugi stared into the water, right under the surface is a shining tail of a dolphin, there are others but this specific one is like an opal tail! And the tail never showed itself above the surface, only under it as if the dolphin is too shy to show off its beautiful tail.

Yugi leaned over the rail, trying to get a better look. But suddenly he felt something against his back pushing him and he fell over the railing and into the water! Panicking, Yugi tried to get back up to the surface, but instead he ended up going down, sinking into the dark abyss.

The petit teen could feel darkness slowly consume him as the weight of the ocean crashing down on his small form. Before he closed his amethyst eyes, he saw an opal figure, opal tail flashing with a human upper body, swimming towards him, the face was unclear for Yugi to see and his round eyes closed.


Joey, Tristan, Tea, and Grandpa and two sailors rushed towards the starboard side to where they heard the splash. Yugi was no where to be seen, realizing what's happened, Mr. Toranaga dropped anchor and his friends got ready with a floaty into the water with a rope connected to it.

Suddenly Yugi's body came above the surface unconscious, two dolphins helping his body keep afloat. Mr. Toranaga jumped into the water and retrieved the petit teen and took hold of the floaty ring, the others began pulling the rope to haul them up.

Once Mr. Toranaga and Yugi were on deck the petit coughed, releasing a bit of sea water before he began gasping for air. Relief and overjoyed, Yugi's friends hugged him into a big group hug, Grandpa chuckled to himself while his friends laughed at the sudden big hug.

Even though happy to be safe and sound and still alive in one piece, Yugi couldn't help but think about the strange creature with a beautiful flashing opal tail. He asked everyone if they saw an opal tail but they said no, making Yugi even more suspicious as to what it is that saved him.

'Well whoever or what it is, I hope I'll meet that person again to thank them properly. I hope I do, the opal tail is so mysterious and yet exotic at the same time.' Yugi thought to himself.


A young merman swam his way towards a certain spot in the coral reef as fast as his tail could get him. With so much speed there's no time to react, and it seems that way when he crashed into another young merman with sapphire blue tail and they landed in the sand in a flash.

"Ack! Why did you do that? Where were you? What's happened? Why are you" a taller young merman asked desperately at the smaller.

"I'm sorry cousin but I was lost in my fantasies." the small opal tailed merman answered before his cousin could ask further.

"Well this time your father has gone haywire, now come on Atemu, or else he'll make us a delicious feast onto his fishy menu." Atemu's cousin said, quickly swimming back the way he came, Atemu trying to catch up.

"Hey Seto! You're going too fast!" Atemu shouted.

"I'm going too fast is coming from my cousin's own mouth, when he's the fastest merman in the entire world!" Seto teased. Atemu growled in anger, and he began swimming faster and faster until he was ahead of his cousin and together they made their way back to their summer home on the heartland of the coral reef.

When the two cousins made it to the heart of the coral reef they literally swam into Atemu's father, both landed in the floor of the reef while the older merman stayed still as if nothing has happened. Seto and Atemu stared nervously and fearfully at the merman before them.

"Atemu, Seto, why are you both late?" Atemu's father asked.

Atemu gulped.

Seto hesitated. "Well uh…we were having a swimming contest with one another and we didn't see the time uncle."

"If this is a lame excuse then you'll both be grounded, but for now let's eat. It's crab tonight!" Atemu's father shouted happily to himself while the younger mermen sweat dropped.

After eating dinner, Atemu made his way into his room, a comfy spot where there's a small hole on the bottom of the reef, outside is rock but inside is warm and soft with sand inside. The inside is big with glowing sea stars to light up the small and yet cozy room.

Atemu whistled a bit, signaling the glowing star fish to stop glowing. As Atemu began to fall asleep and dream of a certain small human Seto came in, since it was dark he ended up getting on top of his cousin by accident, causing the smaller to cry out before Seto covered his mouth with his hand.

"I can't wait until tomorrow cousin, what were you doing that caused you to be late for dinner?" Seto asked quietly as possible and removed his hand.

"I will tell you if you promise not to tell anyone." Atemu whispered back.

"You didn't do anything stupid did you?" Seto asked, getting suspicious.

"Just promise me, or else I won't tell you." was all Atemu would say.

Seto hesitated, knowing that whatever Atemu is going to say is bad. "Fine, I promise not to tell anyone."

"Good merman." Atemu teased.

"Atemu I'm not one of your pets now tell me right now." Seto threatened lightly, but just enough to let the other know that he's serious.

"You're no fun when it comes for teasing."

"I'm known for it. Now tell me!"

"Alright, if you must know, I rescued a human from drowning."

Seto gasped.

"Why is that bad?"

"Atemu that is very bad! Why did you do that?"

"Because he looked like me but smaller and he had amethyst eyes. And he wasn't a very good swimmer when he's panicking." Atemu answered swiftly.

"Did he see you?"

"No he didn't see me. Now could you leave please? I wanna go to sleep and you're not letting me do that right now." Atemu complained.

"You're not going to try and see the human again are you?" Seto asked.

"Seto can you please get off? My tail needs blood you know, and it's hurting me." Atemu growled at the other.

"Not until you promise me that you won't go and see that human." Seto snapped.

"Get off! Get out!" Atemu shouted.

"What's going on in there? Atemu what are you doing?" called out a familiar voice of Atemu's father, the said merman peered his head in through the hole and whistled softly for a star fish to glow, he looked at the two cousins in shock.

"Look uh…it's not what you think…" Seto said nervously but the older merman interrupted.

"I never knew that you two loved each other, is that what you two were doing before dinner? Well sorry for interrupting and I'll take my leave." the older merman said.

"But uncle we-" Seto tried to reason but the older merman already left.

"Well now, that turned out well didn't it?" Atemu teased.

Seto growled. "Thanks to you now we're going to be known as lovers."

"Actually it's your fault for coming in the first place." Atemu said sarcastically, laughing as his cousin scowled.
