A/N: Ok…so this is my first Minecraft fanfic. To be honest, I was nervous about posting this but decided to do it. I was introduced to Minecraft about six months ago so…crossing fingers that this isn't too bad. Hope you enjoy!

'~ CHAPTER 1 ~'

"Ok, first to reach that gold block wins," Deadlox explains, as he sets one down at the end of a gravel pavement.

"That's actually a butter block," Sky corrects in a matter-of-fact tone, as Deadlox rolls his eyes.

"Ok, the butter block," Deadlox boringly admits, sprinting over to where Sky was at their made up starting line. On the sidelines, stood Husky and Bajan, as Jerome stood beside the butter block being the judge of who reached it first.

"You ready, Jerome?" Sky shouted across the line in front of him.

"Ready!" Jerome thumbs up, at them.

"Get ready," Husky starts out.

"Get set…"

"GO!" Both Husky and BajanCanadian yell. And the two Minecrafters were off! Deadlox pulled the lead about halfway through the race, but Sky pushes himself until they were at neck and neck. The winner was unknown, as Sky and Deadlox both look behind them, still jogging away after having touched the butter block.

"It looks that the winner was…Sky! SKY!"

"Yes! I w-" Sky's sentence was cut short, as he had bumped into another Minecrafter. Sky rubbed his head and his friends run over to the two fallen Minecrafters.

"Sis!" Another voice shouted, as said person runs to the aid of the other person.

"Lea, are you ok?"

"Yeah…I am," the girl replied, "Hey, I am really sorry I h-"

"No, no, I'm sorry I was so careless and should have been more careful," Sky apologizes, "I am Sky."

"I'm Lea, and this is my older brother, SetoSorcerer," Lea introduces next, stepping aside so Seto was in Sky's view.

"Hey, aren't you that guy that caused the squids to flee from this city?" Seto furrows his eye brows in curiosity.

"Why yes I am," Sky proudly states, "How did you find out?"

"Well, we both actually just moved here," SetoSorcerer started, "about four houses down. We keep hearing of this hero that had finally brought peace into this place. So figured we could move here, and…here you are."

"Yep it is…"

"Ah-hem," Deadlox fake coughs into his fist before placing them innocently behind his back.

"Oh, right," Sky snaps back to reality, "This is Deadlox, Husky, Jerome, and BajanCanadian," he introduces, each of them waving as Sky points to said people.

"Nice to meet you," Lea greets, "Um…forgive us for interrupting your…competition, but we should be going."

"Oh…okay, well, welcome to Minecraftia," Sky says, opening his arms gesturing to the place before him.

"Thanks again, I hope to see you guys 'round. Come on, Seto," Lea waves over and the two Minecrafters walks off back to their house.

"Well…that was interesting and unexpected," Jerome shrugs, breaking the somewhat tensioned ice.

"You're telling me," BajanCanadian agreed, nodding Jerome's way.

"Ok, though, back to important matters," Sky turns towards the group, "…did I really win?"

"Yes, Sky, you did," Jerome chuckles.

"Yes!"

~~~Conflicted~~~

Lea's POV

I hurried my pace, as my brother and I head back to our house.

"SetoSorcerer, why did you ask that?!" I snapped.

"I just had to make sure it was him," Seto defensively replied, and I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"Have you ever thought that now maybe, just maybe, that they'll now think that something is fishy about us?"

"I'm sorry, sis, but I just had to get it off my back." I sighed then look at my brother's saddened face.

"It's ok," I put a hand on his shoulder, "I couldn't blame you for doing that…thanks." I smiled widely, once a smile appeared on his face.

"Looks like it's getting dark. Maybe we should have a tour of this place then get back there."

"Are you sure you want to take the risk, Lea?" Seto asked, his voice filled with concern.

"I don't have a choice. I need to keep this power. I love being a human," I almost practically beg. SetoSorcerer flattened his mouth in defeat.

"I do…like having you here like this," he admits, as we both walk inside our house.

"I wish there was a way to just get rid of your side," Seto sighs, leading me outside to our backyard. It took a while to find the perfect home to move in to, but we finally found one with a deep enough lake. The lake was just perfect for swimming, fishing too. Swimming…I could use a good lap or ten…

"I don't know, Seto," I sigh, slowly walking down into the lake. I close my eyes and dive down, a few seconds later I come back up showing my mixed form. Tentacles replacing my arms, another two pairs sprouted out in-between on my sides. My curled hair had changed from a beach blond to jet black, and my slightly tanned skin was now a dark, navy blue much like a squid's. Not to forget that I wore a black bikini within my change.

"Believe it or not, I also like this side of me. I feel stronger as a…being."

"I do believe you, sis, but-"

"There you go again with your 'but'," I annoyingly say.

"But one day you'll have to choose which life you're going to live forever. And who knows which day will be that day."

"I understand, Seto," I say, looking down at my changed appendages, "Good night big brother."

"Good night, Lea," Seto depressingly says after coming to the edge of the lake and kissing my cheek. Seto stares into my eyes, the water sparkles reflecting off his eyes. He then leaves my presence, goes inside our house, and closes the door. I sigh again, as I float around the cool lake. Gosh, I have been doing that a lot lately haven't I? Shaking my head from that thought, I dove deeper into the lake.

Seto was the only one who knew my secret. And in reality, he wasn't my real brother, but only a stranger I could call a brother. He was in no way related to me, nor vise versa. But he was the only Minecrafter I had met that accepted me…for me and was willing to help me out with my situation. Seto had also tried to find a cure, for he was an expert at potion making, much like a scientist. He may know how to do that, but what he didn't know was that at the bottom of the lake a decent-sized pipe was present, flowing out into the ocean.

I had managed to find a way to break one of the bars and had taken trips in and out of it successfully. It had taken me a while to find my original squid group, but had found it a little less than a week ago, which was what brought us here to our newest home. Seto didn't find out, but found it totally ok since it was, in walking perspective, farther away from the ocean. Seto didn't want me going out there, afraid that I might get hurt. So I only went out at night.

"Come on you rusty pipe!" I yanked at the piece of broke metal. After I had gotten it out, I swam backwards into the pipe, closing the entrance. I then swam off through the pipe, easily turning around. About five minutes later, I was out in the open water…not really but it was way bigger than the lake back at home. I continued swimming into my squid city Ink City, obviously squids swarming around the huge body of water. I waved to a few squids, as I finally had made my way to my underwater home. There lived my real parents, who were full-time squids. I was just glad I could speak both human and squid languages.

"Hey Mom, Dad, I'm home!" I speak in the squid language, and soon enough only my mom swims out embracing me in her tentacles, "Where's Dad?"

"He's out at the squid's castle," she replies back, "The king called all army squids for a meeting. And you're dad is really depending on you for your feedback about that guy the butter god who destroyed our chance at better living." My mom venomously finished.

"Don't worry, Mom," I calmed her, holding onto two of her tentacles, "I met him today and-"

"Oh my, did he hurt you?" my mom suddenly panics, swimming around me to see if I have anything.

"No, Mom, he didn't hurt me. I was in human form. Anyway, I was going to have a casual hang-out with him and his friends tomorrow and hopefully I can get something out of him."

"Ok, be careful tomorrow my little squid."

"Yes, Mom," I swim over to the door, "Say 'hi' to Dad for me." She just waved, as I swam off. I changed fully to my squid form, not wanting anyone to know that it was me who was swimming out. Once I was far enough, I changed back to my mixed stage. I looked out over to the glass-fortified squid city once more before swimming back to where Seto was at.

A/N: So, how was it? Thanks for reading! Hope to see you in chapter two! :D
