Mermaid Angel
Chapter 2
Yami sat at the table within the palace hall his head down swirling his fork in the food, which lay in front of him. He was still thinking of Yuugi the mermaid. It had been nearly three days since he had last seen him and all his thoughts were on him.
His father the king was extremely worried; the way he was acting was as though he was heartbroken, though it couldn't be for he had never to his account fallen for a girl.
The king watched Yami and he swirled his fork within the food, not bothering to eat it. His eyes were lost within thought; he himself was lost, whatever the problem was it should be sorted out. The prince should not act like this; if he was heartbroken he ought to be strong and get over it.
"Yami tell what is wrong with you?" his father asked.
His head jerked up and he returned to reality, he muttered that it was nothing that he just needed to think about things. His father didn't believe it and demanded an answer from him. Yami glared as he heard his father shout, standing up from the table head bowed he shouted.
"Father nothing is wrong, if you do not believe me fine! Then so be it I shall not be irritated by your speech. You ask me everyday if something is the matter, if I say no every time then nothing must be the matter!" he was furious, maybe what he had said was lie but if he didn't wish to walk about it he didn't need to.
His father too was furious, he charged up to him and slapped him across the face; his eyes were burning with a silent fury.
"I am not stupid, I know something is wrong so answer me what is it?" Yami dared not oppose what his father had asked, he would not tell the whole truth but the better half of it.
"I have fallen father for someone I know I can never have and I am heartbroken over that person alright and nothing anyone can say will help!" he talked with a calm fury burning in his voice.
His father was astonished by the answer and did not bother asking why he had been refused an answer all the other times he had asked. His mind began to come up with all the ideas in which he could help his son over come such feelings.
"Yami you are to be married," was what he said after some time of thought. Yami watched him in horror; he would rather be alone than married, despite the depression it bought to him. He would rather been with Yuugi or with no one, he was the only one he wanted, he now believed in love at first sight.
"I.I can't father I won't I'd rather be alone," he told his father truthfully.
"You will be Yami," he told him sternly "You must get married and have a heir to be your successor when you become king and then die, not getting married is not an option you must know that," he began telling him " Me and your mother will find someone for you soon, in the meantime get over whoever you love," he strode out the palace hall leaving an unpleasant silence behind him.
Yami stood there for a few minutes but it seemed like hours to him, slowly as his fathers words sunk in he felt tears form as he sunk to the ground trying to see if there was anyway of him ever being able to be with Yuugi, his angelic mermaid.
His mother stood at the doorway and her cerulean blue dress fell to the floor, she waited awhile before walking over to him and placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Yami, I know it's hard to except, but I like you also had to except such a fate, but its not all bad I guess," Yami who turned to look up at his mother sighed as he remembered that his mother had be forced to marry his father despite such feeling she had for another. She had told him such things a few years ago and he had vowed not to tell anyone.
Now he would serve the same fate.
"Come on you shouldn't let your father see you cry, maybe you can see that special person before you get married," she talked silently as she helped her son to his feet.
She walked behind him as he walked up the stairs to his room, there was an eerie silence between them as they walked, the only sound, which could be heard, was their shoes against the cold stone floor.
He opened the door to his room and went and lay on his bed, it wasn't as welcoming as it usually was to him. His mother stood by the door and watched him for a while before coming in.
"Yami." she said slowly walking to his bed and kneeling beside it "go to this person on Friday and stay with them till Sunday and return on Monday, your father will be out on those days so he won't be able to question any of your actions," she hesitated awhile before adding "if there are any consequences I'll deal with them," she held her sons hand and smiled.
Yami gazed at her and knew what she meant by 'consequences' though 'beating' would have been a better word to say. She had gotten several in order to let her son wonder places outside the palace unaccompanied, including one which she had gotten when he had returned from seeing the 'angel mermaid' Yuugi.
He hadn't told anyone that he had seen the mermaid; he guessed he didn't want anyone to bother it or maybe it was the fact that the gossip based around him was fading and any news of the prince seeing it would build it up again.
He nodded and smiled at his mother. He knew that in a way if he went against what she asked it would offend her, besides all the 'consequences' she took were because of him, no one else. She probably loved him more than his own father.
"Rest for now I think you need to settle your thoughts and a good sleep will help you," she stood up and left the room closing the door behind her.
"I don't think anything will help me no matter what I do or try," he told himself silently drifting off to a sleep.
