The Little Merman

"I have come here to request that my tail be split into legs…" Atem's spine straightened with resolve when questioned if he was certain. "As I write my name upon this contract, thus establishes a seal that binds us. By my name I validate this contract and seal my voice until the day it is fulfilled!" Epilogue posted 6/23!

71. Chapter 71

Seto was out of the chopper the second it touched the sandy beach, his sapphire eyes locked not upon the legendary beings but upon the pair in the water. He had seen them fall from the goddess's hand and nearly wrestled the controls away from Mai when they disappeared into the water. "Anzu!"

"Watch it!"

The warning came too late, he saw the wave coming at him that would be more than enough to sweep him out to sea, but instead found himself stumbling backwards as something collided with his chest.

"So you're Kaiba, judging from the resemblance, guess you finally caught up." Yugi raised an eyebrow when the young man completely ignored him. "Rude much?"

"Anzu!" He cursed when no answer came. They were too far away.

Yugi crossed his arms. "You might as well save your breath and my ears with all your shouting. They have more important things to worry about right now in case you didn't notice."

"You don't get it! I'm her older brother, it's up to me to keep her safe!" Seto unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, kicking off his shoes as if he were going to dive into the water, but fell back when a bronze tail sent him forcefully to the sand. "You have two seconds to get this thing off of me."

"If you think you have a chance against those two then you must be as powerful as a god." Yugi wrapped his tail tightly around the human as he made to stand, causing him to trip and fall backwards. "You don't get it ,do you?! You wouldn't have a chance against them if you go out there carelessly! It's best for everyone if you stay here!" He yelped when something sharp pricked his side, quickly releasing his hold and glaring as Seto stood.

"My sister is not the only one who knows the weakness of those with fish tails."

"Enough, both of you!" Mahad crawled up onto the beach, casting a quick spell that enclosed both within a sphere of magical energy. Mana quickly checked Yugi over for any sign of injury then turned her scolding gaze upon the other. "Fighting amongst yourselves and interfering now will accomplish nothing. We have no choice but to watch and wait."
