Chapter 1
He ran quickly through the halls of the palace, hoping he wasn't to late. He heard the screaming and the rushing feet. His husband was going to get his child. He paced outside the room, deep in thoughts. The door opened and a healer smiled softly.
"My lord come in to see your child." He ran inside, nearing the bed. Atemu looked up from the little bundle in his arms and smiled softly. He was tired and sweaty but stayed awake.
"Seto this is your son." He said softly, while the said man sat down on the bed. Seto looked towards the small child, who was waking up. He looked up to his father, bright light sapphire eyes looked at him. He was surprised that the boy's eyes looked so much like his, only a little lighter. He had Atemu's hair also. The baby giggled and reached with his little hands towards his father.
"Father will be overjoyed to see his grandson." Seto whispered. He commanded a guard to make a boat ready. He took the child in his arms.
"What's his name?" He asked.
"Yami…" Atemu whispered. The healer gave Seto a little bottle with milk. He fed Yami while Atemu took a bath. When Yami was done with drinking, he slowly rocked the baby to sleep. Atemu walked inside in his usually tunic, smiling softly at the sight before him.
"Seto the boat is ready." He whispered softly, because he didn't want to wake Yami. Seto nodded and gave Yami to his 'mother'. They walked onboard and waited until they were on the sea. They let Yami sleep further in his crib. Atemu stayed with him the whole time. After a while Atemu picked Yami up and walked towards the deck, where Seto was giving the captain the coordinates. Yami woke up and looked around. He looked down to the water and laughed when he saw all kinds of fish swimming with them. Suddenly a dolphin jumped out of the water and followed them as well. They lay still on the middle of the water, waiting together with their son and their crew for a curtain person to arrive. A few people appeared from underneath the water. They smiled up at the happy family and bowed when another person appeared from underneath the water. Seto smiled softly at his father, who returned it. He used his magic to lift up the water so he could reach the boat. Seto quickly hugged him and Atemu stepped forward. He smiled softly at Yami and then handed the boy to his grandfather. The merking smiled softly at the boy. He turned towards the other merpeople. He showed all of them the little baby. They all cheered. He turned back towards the parents. He got out a shell amulet, which had hieroglyphics on it. He gave it to Yami, who started to play with it in his little hands. He accidently opened the shell, which showed an underwater palace with mermaids and mermen. He looked with wide eyes to it, his hands reaching for it. The shell closed and the palace disappeared. Suddenly the sky turned black and a heavy, cold wind picked up. Everyone looked to the water, that was turning black. A white haired man rose from the water followed by his shark. Half of his body was octopus and the other half human. He climbed onboard with his tentacles and slid towards Atemu and Seto. Atemu held Yami close, hoping to protect him while Seto stood in front of them, hand on the lever of his sword.
"Well, well what do we have here?" Bakura asked. Amun only growled. The archers raised their bow, both on the boat and in the water.
"Marik would loved it to come, but sadly he couldn't make it…" He said a little disappointed. He slowly approached the family, still not looking at anybody else but them. Suddenly one of his tentacles shot out and grabbed the baby around his waist, pulling him away from his parents.
"Yami!" Seto had to do anything so his husband wouldn't go after him.
"Bakura let my grandson go!" The said man looked around to the sea king, throwing the baby up and down, but always catching him. The boy giggled.
"I think Diabound would like a good dinner, don't you Diabound?" Bakura looked down to the shark, who showed his teeth.
"Bakura wait! I know what you want and you can have it! Just as long as you don't hurt my grandson." Amun said.
"Hmmm interesting…" Bakura mumbled to himself. He climbed up the robe ladder, only half way. He kept muttering at himself while still catching Yami.
"Alright then! I agree." He slid over the edge of the bar. He reached the king. Atemu suddenly grabbed Seto's sword and slashed a rope. Something heavy hit Bakura at the back of his head. He lost his grip on Yami and the baby fell to the water. Diabound jumped out of the water and opened his mouth. Seto quickly grabbed a rope and swung towards Yami. Amun quickly used some magic to shrink Diabound. Seto quickly caught Yami and landed onboard again. Atemu quickly ran towards them and took Yami in his arms.
"I suggest you leave Bakura." Bakura growled deep down his throat. He grabbed the three tooth and fought with the sea king. Suddenly a dark beam shot from it. Atemu tried to get Yami out of the way but wasn't fast enough. The beam hit Yami. He started to cry, closing his eyes like they were hurting. Atemu tried to calm him down.
"Yami calm down please. It's okay, mommy and daddy are here, just calm down. No ones is going to hurt you. Heey we're here." He tried to calm the little boy down by rocking him and talking, but nothing seemed to work. Yami continued to cry. Seto took Yami over and tried to calm him down.
"Heey boy. Nothing's wrong, daddy is here." Yami stopped with crying though he still had tears silently rolling down his cheeks. Amun finally got Bakura off of him. The crew made sure that they couldn't reach the prince again. Bakura growled. He made an escape with some magic. Everyone looked with great concern to the prince. Who knew what that beam would cause. They returned to the palace and the sea king followed them. They stood on the beach, the sea king in the water and his son with his family on the sand. Amun sighed.
"So what now?" He asked as he watched Yami crawl towards the water. He placed his little hands in the water. Atemu quickly picked him up, as if he was scared that Bakura would appear any moment and take him away again. They all sighed.
"We can't allow Yami to make contact with the sea again…" Seto said sadly as he watched as Yami was trying to get out of Atemu's grip. He took the shell necklace from Yami and gave it to his father.
"He may not know about this." He held up the necklace. Amun took the shell and sighed. He then nodded.
"I understand. Now what? We don't know what that beam was or what it will do…" He looked sadly towards Yami.
"We need to… separate him from the sea. It's the only chance of keeping him safe. I'm so sorry father." Seto said sadly, his sapphire eyes glimmering with tears.
"I understand son, you need to keep your family safe. I know, someday, we will be reunited again." They all gave a last hug to each other and Amun said goodbye to his only grandson. He then turned towards his guards and started to swim away while the sad family turned to the palace. Amun sighed and looked to the shell. He used some magic to carve Yami's name elegant in it. He then let it fall from his hand into the water. He then dove underneath the water.
3 years later
A little boy ran through the palace, trying to escape his parents. They were trying to make him take a bath, but he won't let them. Even though he loved water and the sea, he never allowed someone to make him take a bath.
"Yami come here right now!" He heard his father's voice in the distance. He ran faster although he felt a little lightheaded. The palace was surrounded by a huge wall, though he did not know why it was there. He turned a corner and now didn't feel well. He stopped and grabbed his stomach with one hand and lay the other one on his chest. He started to have difficulty with breathing.
"Finally I found 'ya." He heard his father, but he sounded so far away. His legs couldn't support him anymore, so he fell to the ground. Seto just turned the corner to see his son falling to the ground.
"Yami!" He quickly caught the boy, lifting him up in his arms. His breathing were short gasps and he was sweaty. His stomach turned many times, making him feel like he needed to vomit.
"Atemu!" Seto shouted in panic. His husband came running towards them. He shouted to some guards to get a healer.
"Yami it's okay, mommy is here. I promise you're going to be fine!" He promised as he wiped the sweaty face from his son with his cape. They brought the prince to his chamber and waited for the healer. He finally arrived and immediately worked on Yami, trying to find out what was wrong. He listened to his breathing, that was still a lot of wheezing and gasps. So now and then it would also be a cough but nothing more. He then took Yami's temperature and sounded worried. His fever was so high. He took the bowl with water and took a wash cloth. He started to wipe the sweat from his face.
"Well?" He looked up to see two worried parents.
"I couldn't find any infections by his lungs, but he has such a high fever. Someone needs to stay here tonight to make him drink enough, wipe the sweat from his face, keep an eye on him and maybe that he eats something." He confirmed. They nodded. The healer left the room. Seto wouldn't let Atemu take night swift, because he needed his rest. So it was up to him to make sure his son was going to be alright. He sat Yami up so he could let him drink.
"Don't worry Yami. Keep fighting, you can do it!" He whispered.
13 years later
Early at dawn a young man covered in a cloak went towards the wall. He took his bag with him but hid the cloak. He dove in the small but deep pool of water. He swam towards the bars underneath the wall. He shoved the one he always used out of the way and swam through it. He broke to the surface for much needed air. At least he was with the sea again like everytime he would sneak out of the palace!
Okay end of the first ... what has gotten into me?! Why did I make Yami sick?! Probably because of that beam, I don't know. IKR it's weird that Yami had blue eyes but I think he also needed something from Seto so I chose the eye color. He actually looks cute in my image. R&R please! But now I'm going to sleep because I'm tired. Sleep well world!
