It is said that a long time ago, everything lived in harmony. People walked freely, whether land, water, or air. They could go anywhere. Humans grew to be curios, going places they shouldn't go, then they became rebellious, and going into such places to make the gods mad. Finally, the three gods of water, air, and earth stripped every human into thirds, one for land, one for water, and one for air. Pleased with how this turned out, the gods created a love that nothing could match, which we call our soul mates. They are the missing pieces, the parts of us who have been stripped, and for as long as we humans live, we will long for them.
Ryou thought about this as he walked to school. His father had found a tablet with this written on it, and had told his son as soon as he could get a phone. To Ryou, it kinda made since. It would explain the random urges of lust people have, but what did it mean by 'gods of water, air, and earth'?
"Ryou!" Yugi called from behind him, making the albino stop and look around. "My grandfather told me about about the tablet," Yugi summed up, taking twice the steps of the long-legged Ryou.
"Its just a legion," Ryou put off. Yugi frowned and looked up into the sky.
"What if our counter parts are up there now?" Yugi asked out of the blue. Ryou's head snapped to look at him.
"Dead? You seem to look on the bright side," Yugi blushed darkly and shook his head, making his bangs flow from side to side.
"No, can't you see, that means their are mermaids, and angels of sorts, that's the thirds that are missing," Ryou rolled his eyes, even if he was thankful Yugi answered one of his questions.
"Mermaids and angels don't exist Yugi," Ryou walked a little faster, causing Yugi to jog.
"What if that's what they think to?" Yugi whispered.
_~-meanwhile, in the deep oceans of the Pacific-~_
"Bakura, what if they think the same thing?" Yami tried to reason with the rebel. They very pale male with long flowing hair scoffed.
"Humans and Angels are just fairy tails Yami, grow up," Yami stopped to watch his friend's bright blue tail lightly carry the albino away.
"Well the tablet said-"
"Another tablet says they aren't real," Great, now Bakura caught the attention of Yami's parents.
"What aren't real?" Yami's father asked with an amused grin. Bakura grabbed food off the table before leaving Yami to explain.
"Humans and angels, the other us," Yami pouted, before sitting down at the table. His father, ho was the king, raised an eyebrow.
"You shouldn't be arguing to your betrothed about love," Yami's mother chided in her two sense. Yami grimaced, he and Bakura would never feel love for each other, but that didn't matter, cause it was for the sake of his people and the wedding was scheduled for tomorrow.
"Yes mother," Yami murmured before eating his fill and leaving quickly. Instead of going to the throne room, or even his room, he went up. The tops of the water was filled with so many fish, but that's not what he wanted to see. His head pushed up against the top. He looked up into the sky, then at the land the was so far away.
Finally after a minute or two, he needed air, so he dove back into the water, gasping for breath, scaring the fish away. One day, he promised himself, one day he would find his true lovers.

"AKEFIA!"
the burst of the shout caused said man's bird to fly way. He sighed and turned to look at the man who was just a little shorter then him.
"Yes Atemu?" Akefia had on a light glare, though it was a very hard one. Atemu was known to come and bug the pronounced thief with the scar on his face. When they were younger they hated each other's guts, then some how that turned to be friendship, which lead to something even more.
"Do you think mermaids and humans exist?" The question caused Akefia to fall ungracefully to his face.
"Love, why would you ask such a thing? Thy were made up on a whim to get the kids to go to sleep, you know that," Akefia said after getting up, ignoring the smaller's light laughter.
"Well, the old tablet said that they do, and that our soul mates are human and mermaids," Atemu reasoned, making Akefia roll his eyes and call back his pet bird, not noticing it had something around its neck.
"Are you saying you do not love me?" Akefia teased, going back to trimming his bird's long over-grown claws, the eagle letting him.
"No, I love you very much, but think, what if its true?"
"Atem, my dear, if its true, then I will allow you to fuck them in front of me," Akefia looked over, making Atem grin and nod.
"Okay, then I'm going to start to search for them, bye honey!" Atemu took off into the sky, making Akefia roll his eyes, then notice the gold attachment to his bird's neck. Running his figures over the carvings inside of it, reading out the name 'Ryou', before it opened and showed a picture of a baby with white hair and pale skin. Akefia frowned and shrugged it off, setting the piece of gold aside.
