A/N: Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid has always been my all time favorite fairy tale. It's so sad and so romantic at the same time. Anyway, this is going to be co-written with a friend of mine BlackRoseDragonCK. College and finals have driven me absolutely crazy and thank God it's almost over ^_^ because so many of us need a break from demanding schedules/teachers. This is going to be more of a Yu-gi-oh twist on the classic Disney version/the original. So please enjoy! And yes it will have a happy ending nothing sad!

VB20: Finally! I've had this idea stuck in my head for such a long time. And it's finally getting out YAY!

Blackrose: ^_^ It was nice of you to ask me to co-write this. Even though I just finished one story and now working on another.

VB20: My pleasure, don't worry this is just the prologue. And I guess we can do review replies. Duel monsters do exist in this story. They are wild creatures in both of kingdoms in order for the bond to be made they first must choose the person. Once they are bonded, it's unbreakable and is for life.

Blackrose: Unto the story! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-gi-oh or Shrek.

Introduction

Mermaids are mythical creatures that only exist in fairy tales and myths. A kiss from a mermaid or merman is the most powerful thing in the world. Once they are bonded, the love between them never fades. Legends of these creatures have been told in many different kinds of stories passed down from generation to generation. Some say that they are sirens of the sea, with beautiful singing voices, that not any form of earthly music can imitate it. A real sailor might tell you differently. Men have searched endlessly for these amazing creatures, but not so many have succeeded.

Legend says that a kiss from a mermaid or merman has the ability to grant any wish that a person desires front the heart. Anything they can imagine from love, riches, glory, and power. But they must not be wicked or greedy because a sea creature knows if they are pure of heart or not. Mostly by looking into a mortal's eyes, they can feel from the inside if they are truly worthy of such a gift.

Mermaids and Mermen they appear in countless cultural mythologies each story explaining their abilities in a different way. Some sailors might tell you they are cruel sirens who allure men with to their watery graves, but that is far from the truth. A real sailor, one who has sailed the seven seas and experienced things no other man has seen before will tell the tale quite differently. mermaids and mermen are the only creatures who can walk in both worlds, the sunny, warm land of mortals above and the cool, murky depths of the ocean below. Most of them prefer to stay discreet, far from the prying eyes of man, but there was one young merman, in particular, who desired something different.

Merpeople have a unique ability. That power lies in their kiss, the most powerful force in this and any other world. If someone is kissed by a mermaid or merman they are bound with an unbreakable tie of eternal love. No matter how hard they try, they cannot escape the feeling. It never fades for the mermaid or merman just as it never fades for the person they kissed.

This fact is especially true in the story of a certain merman named Yami...and the human girl, Tea, he saved from drowning. He breathed oxygen into her lungs, trying with all his might to revive her...and thus cast the spell of love in both of their hearts. Although, the spell truly had little to do with their newfound feelings...for this was one of the very rare cases of love, at first sight.

"I love you Tea," he whispered against her skin, his deep, alluring voice sending shivers down her spine. Ocean blue eyes stared out into the purely lit darkness, as the very last rays of the morning and summer vanished beyond the dawning horizon. Long locks of chocolate-brown hair tickled her ivory face and ocean eyes behind dark eyelashes fluttered blissfully as they stood on the cliff, overlooking the large vast ocean. Those sparkling waves...the waves which stood as a constant reminder of the adventure Tea and her friends had experienced.

The girl smiled as she thought of them. Joey, Tristan, Selene, and Yugi meant the world to her they were always there for one another. She and her best friends had been through a lot of things and always stood strong. Working to get through the tough trials of their feelings of fondness and loyalty had grown even stronger. Her heart was full of so much hope and love and those feelings grew ever stronger in his arms.

The girl turned to gaze up at the one she loved so dearly. The pale skin, the thin, yet muscled thickly lashed crimson eyes that sparkled like rubies, she adored those eyes. They were beautiful and dangerous at the same time.

"As I love you, Yami" she murmured. Everything felt like it was finally in place, the life both of them had fought for was now safe again. His arms slowly tightened around her waist. The sunset was absolutely breathtaking to watch, painting the sky in glorious shades of gold and pink. The ground beneath them was cool, but they did not feel the briskness. They were far too focused on each other's warmth.

"I never thought it would come to this, especially after all that's happened," Yami continued, as his lips kissed her cheek.

She smiled at his warm touch, "Honestly Yami this is the way it's supposed to be, I found you and you found me."

He smiled, "That's right, and you're stuck with me."

She laughed, "I wouldn't have it any other way."

A warm feeling flowed through his soul, as he held the love of his life. He had never felt this feeling with anyone before in his life. It was a feeling of unending adoration the feeling of loving her even more than he loved himself. Yami looked into her cerulean eyes a desire arising inside his orbs of fire. A look of hunger and want, a hunger for her love and her soul. His eyes slowly closed as his lips brushed against hers, he lifted her chin and brought her closer. Her lips tasted like rich, sweet chocolate, every bite was so tempting.

She felt his tongue slowly sliding across her lips before she opened her mouth to let him in. Their tongues caressed each other's mouths, as the heat between them became even more intense. Tea wrapped her arms around his neck, as they continued to kiss. In the heat of the night, two hearts close to the fire. Love and passion dancing together, as he felt complete for the first time in his life. Her heart was broken into a million pieces after almost losing him...but now was becoming renewed. She loved him so much, and her heart wasn't lying, he knew she was the one; the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

He felt in that moment that his past as a merman was suddenly was as if he had never grown up in the ocean's crystal waves if he had always belonged in this bright world in the arms of his true love. Even with this feeling of blissful forgetfulness encompassing his mind, however, Yami knew that he could never forget the adventure that had left him with the girl of his dreams neither of them could.

They suddenly felt that the world was gone in that instant as they looked towards the heavens, both hearts began to somehow reflect on all how all of this happened….
