AteKake: I'm super sorry for the delay! I've been working on so many school projects and stuff, it's been consuming all the time I ever have! But anyway, I've had writers block too, so not really sure what else I should do for this story. But I do have a couple of ideas. Anyway, on with the chapter!
Yugi and Yami walking into village, being greeted by all the villagers that Yami knew. Yugi clung onto Yami's shirt tail. Yami giggled at the small, shivering mermaid. Yami rubbed Yugi's head, trying to calm Yugi, "Yugi, there's no need to be so scared. If anything seems wrong, just tell me okay?"
Yugi looked up at Yami, and nodded his head. "Yami, ok."
Yami smiled at Yugi and began to start walking again, looking through the streets, just randomly walking around.
"Oi! Yami! Haven't seen you since yesterday!" a tall blond yelled at Yami, waving his hand high in the air, signaling for Yami to approach him and his small food stand.
Yami smiled, and headed towards the boy. Yugi hung onto Yami's shirt, staring at the unfamiliar human.
Yami and the blond did a signature handshake, "Sup, Joey! How have you been in a day?" Yami said laughing. Yugi tightened his grip on the shirt.
Joey laughed, "Great even though it's only been a day!" Joey then looked down at the shaking Yugi, then back at Yami, "Dude, who is this?"
Yami turned to Yugi and patted his shaking head, "This is the apprentice that I was talking to you about, Joey. His name is Yugi and as you can see he is very shy so please don't scare him."
Yugi clung onto Yami, staring at Joey from behind Yami. He held out his hand, "Don't worry, I don't bite."
Yami stared at Yugi, who was hiding his face in Yami's shirt, "Come on Yugi, don't be so shy." Yami pushed Yugi towards Joey, trying to pry Yugi's hands off his shirt.
Yugi finally gave in, he let go of Yami's shirt, but still stood close to Yami. "Hi." He whispered, while his head was held low, staring at the ground.
Joey laughed, "Hi Yugi." He then turned to Yami, "Why is he so shy? It looks like he's only a couple of years younger than us."
Yami patted Yugi's head, "Well, um I don't really know why. He seems like he's just naturally shy. But when I met him, he took a quick liking to me for some reason."
Yugi giggled at Yami rubbing his head, obviously liking the feeling.
Yami just kept rubbing Yugi's head. Joey just stared at Yugi, "He seems to act almost like an animal." He joked.
Yami laughed as Yugi again hid behind his back, obviously embarrassed from the comment. "Yugi, calm down. Like he said, Joey won't bite."
Yugi nodded his head, and followed the other teens as they started to walk.
Yugi followed Yami and Joey through the village, looking at all the smiling faces. Yami nudged Yugi, trying to get him to wave back.
Joey then stopped in his tracks and pointed to a sushi restaurant, "Ok, I'm hungry so let's go eat in there!"
Yami nodded and Yugi just nodded, mimicking Yami.
Yami giggled and rubbed Yugi's head, before following Joey into restaurant.
As they entered, they spotted a rather large fish tank, containing many exotic fish. Yugi stared at it in wonder as the many fish looked at him.
Yami noted Yugi and the fishes' actions before gently nudging him, "Hey, make sure that the fish don't talk. If they do, people will get suspicious."
Yugi looked up at Yami and nodded, before placing his index finger on his lips to hush the fish.
Joey looked at Yugi and Yami and gave a small smile before grabbing Yami and whispering into his ear, "He's cute, you just have to admit it. But man, you can have this one."
Yami then blushed, thinking about how much Yugi resembles a child in his actions. And how little and innocent he was. He punched Joey on his arm, "Not funny Joey."
Joey just chuckled, "Fine man. Anyway, let's go and sit down. I'm starving!"
Yami nodded and looked towards Yugi, "Yugi. Time to eat."
Yugi looked at Yami, then waved to the fish. He followed Yami and Joey to a table and sat down. There were strange, large pieces of paper on the table, three of them. Yugi carefully picked one up and examined it, getting strange looks from Joey.
"Um Yami, does he even know what that is?" Joey just stared at Yugi.
"Probably not," Yami mumbled under his breath. He then explained to Yugi, "That's what we call a menu, Yugi. It has different types of sushi, or basically fish and rice wrapped around it." Yugi just looked up, confused at Yami. He sighed, "Ok, I'll just order you a crystal shrimp roll. Trust me, you'll like it." Yugi nodded.
As soon as the food got to the table, Yugi stared at it with curiosity. Yami handed Yugi some chopsticks, "This is how you use these, see?"
Yugi followed Yami actions and picked up a piece of sushi with the chopsticks, "Yay! I did it!"
Yami giggled and rubbed Yugi's head, as Yugi took a munch at the food. His face lit up with happiness, "This good!" Yami and Joey couldn't help but laugh.
They happily continued their meal before heading back out to the village.
After a day at the village, Yami and Yugi stared at the sunset before heading back to Yami's house. Yami turned to Yugi, "We should tell Joey that were gonna go back to the house, okay?"
Yugi just nodded and followed Yami.
As they reached Joey, they noticed that he was talking to an unfamiliar girl. Yami walked up to Joey, "Hey dude, me and Yugi are going to head back to the house now." He then turned to face the girl, "And who might you be?"
She saw Yami and gave him a smile before looking at Yugi and giving him a death glare. "I'm Anzu. Nice to meet you?" she looked down at Yugi with a glare, "And who's this child?"
Yami looked down at Yugi, cowering behind him, "He's is my apprentice, and I am the local fisherman."
"Ah, I see. Just make sure not to run into those mermaids. Damn creatures, they never know anything. Plus they trick men into loving them before striking them down."
Yugi's head then hung low, as he backed away from Yami a little bit.
"Um, nice to meet you, Anzu, see you around. Come Yugi." Yami turned back, headed home, a small, shivering Yugi followed far behind him.
Yami watched the ground as he walked towards home, 'Was Yugi only doing this to try and kill me? Is his sweet nature just a trick?' Yami tried to shake off the thought, 'I'll just get things straight later.'
AteKake: Cliff hanger. Yups. Ok, right now I am listening to one of the creepiest songs ever, Alice of Human Sacrifice from the Vocaloids. It's catchy and frightening at the same time, lol. So I hope that finally updating this story helps. I had to sorta make up this story as I write, and I do think that it turned out pretty well. Anyway, please review, thanks for everything guys!
