Disclaimer: Yu-gi-oh does not belong to me blah blah blah~
Thank you to those who told me why Anzu was hated or something I don't remember. I like Anzu I like her and her friendship speeches no I'm not joking I do. She is so cute *glomps Anzu*
I was busy so I couldn't write this chapter sooner sorry. Want a longer one? The Internet does not work well, I just don't want to make writing a chore and if I do I will really hate myself. I was out of character because I was being an insensitive bitch and not caring when my friends were down, then I got back into character and am now all depressed. I also have to redo my English essay because it wasn't essay and I almost ended up crying in English because of that, but then didn't because there was no point. I have the 'best' life ever.
I write short chapters because I can't write long ones and it is hard for me to write things down which are in my mind. I'm really bad at writing and I hope that writing fanfics may help me with my SATs *shivers* year 9 is evil. If you must know I got a level three for writing in year 6 which is below average, I got level 5 for reading which left me with a level 4. Plus some people like short chapters ^_^.

Mermaid Angel
Chapter 5
~*~
"Do you know what's wrong with him?" Anzu asked Ryou who were both watching Yuugi from a distance "he's been here since the ceremony and he won't eat anything, I'm really worried," she looked like she was about to cry.
"Anzu," Ryou said placing a hand gently on her shoulder "I sure that its not a big deal he just really misses him," Anzu turned to face him.
"Him?" she asked him "what on earth do you mean by 'him'?"
"Anzu um forget I said that, I um…" Ryou tried thinking of what to say.
"Why didn't you say so? Do you really think I would have a problem with it? For god sake Ryou if you wanted to try and keep it secret that he's gay you did a real bad job," Anzu smiled, she at least understood why he was acting the way he was. Ryou just gaped as she talked.
"Well if he's that obvious then maybe I shouldn't even try," he crossed his arms and tried to look serious.
Anzu ignored him and turned back to staring at Yuugi "hey Ryou, he seems to be moving," Anzu said trying to catch Ryou's attention. Ryou swam beside her and watched Yuugi.
"Hey you're right, come on lets follow him," he swam off towards Yuugi, being careful not to be seen by him Anzu followed behind him.
~*~
Yuugi watched the surface of the water; he had been waiting here since the ceremony had ended. He kept watching the surface hoping that he would meet him once more. He had only met him once for a short while but he remembered every slight detail of him, the way his hair was formed, his eyes that had gazed to him, his pale skin. He was so much like him but his features held power they were darker than his.
He felt like laughing to himself, he had fallen to someone he couldn't have and if he were found out he would most certainly be killed. It would be better if he were dead; at least then he would have some release from the world.
His eyes widened, he had sensed something, could it be him? He decided it would be best if he were to check, if he were wrong in what he believed, he dare not think what would happen.
He swam up, his mermaid tail swished behind him. The waters were clear and he soon saw the lights from the sky emerge. His head broke through the waters surface; ripples were caused upon the still surface of the lake.
He stared into the sky; it was dawn and the birds chirped much like they had done when he had first met Yami. He gazed around the lake hoping to see the figure of his love. He was near the edge of one side of the lake and prayed he were not on the other.
He heard footsteps and turned to face their creator. His face lit up as he saw who they were from, Yami. He had been resting beneath a tree and the noise, which he had created emerging from the water, must have disturbed him.
Yami walked over to the edge of the lake, Yuugi swam to him bearing a broad smile on his face. Kneeling down beside the edge of the lake he held Yuugi's hand. All there was was silence, much like the first time they had met. Neither one knew what to say; just being in the other ones presence was enough for them.
They were in silence for hours just bearing the others hand, the forest too was in silence.
"Yuugi…" Yami began breaking the silence. Yuugi watched him with anticipation.
"Yes Yami?" Yuugi asked still watching him.
"How do you know my name, I don't believe I told in our first meeting."
"My friend Ryou told me, apparently he knew your name, he considers himself some sort of a detective," Yuugi giggled.
"Oh right," Yami stared at the ground.
"Yami? What did you want to say? I know you need to say something so say it," Yami lifted his head.
"I love you Yuugi, I've never loved anyone before but when I saw you I just can't explain it properly, but I fell in love with you," Yuugi's face lit up, though as soon as he saw Yami's expression of what seemed like helplessness, which he was sure for someone like Yami or anyone for that matter wasn't a good sign his face fell.
"Though we can't be together ever, my father says I shall have to be married and someone has already been picked, I know for sure that he'll never let me see you again. I just can't bare the thought. We're also so different and I know the law of the mermaids and I don't want your life put in danger; I love you too much for that. To me it seems we were lovers for years but I don't even know if we could even be called lovers" a tear fell down his pale face, he couldn't bare to look at Yuugi he felt terrible about what he had said. The truth was so painful he now understood the meaning of 'love hurts' because it really did it had shattered him.
~*~
"I feel so bad for him," Anzu told Ryou as they hid behind reeds, which were at a short distance between them and Yuugi.
"Which 'him'? There's two," Ryou asked her.
"The human Ryou but I feel sorry for them both," she said peering through the reeds at them.
"Me too, I wish there was away they could both be together," Ryou put his hand beneath his chin as if he were thinking.
Anzu gasped and put her hands to a her face "Ryou something bad is going to happen I can sense it, we have to warn them, Ryou we have to warn them we have too," Anzu started sobbing.
"I'm sure nothing will happen, come one we have to let them have some time together, you heard Yami he may never come back," Anzu nodding removing her hands from her face.
~*~
There was silence between them again. The truth of Yami's words had an impact on them both.
Yuugi couldn't bear that someone whom he had waited all this time would leave him so soon. A tear fell down his face, all the dreams he had of someone he could be with for eternity had been shattered. He watched as Yami caressed his cheek wiping the tear away. He held the hand and kissed it.
"Yami…" he said silently as he pulled himself out of the water and sat at the edge of the lake over looking its clear waters "Yami I love you and I will always no matter what happens and I'll never forget you, ever," he watched Yami who had sat beside him.
Yami embraced him. He felt Yuugi shiver and realized how cold the weather had become; the sky was a dingy grey and storm clouds had begun to sprout rain and the wind was chilling. His body was bare and he would catch a cold if he didn't return to the water soon.
"You need to return to the water or you'll catch a cold," Yami said wrapping the cloak he was wearing around him.
"No I won't! I want you near me," he protested wrapping his hands round Yami's neck and kissed him before he rested his head on Yami's chest
Yami smiled and held him close, stroking his hair and whispered that he loved him in his ear he too wanted him near.
~*~
Time passed and both Yuugi and Yami knew that they ought to say goodbye to one another though neither had the heart to do so.
The rain poured soaking Yami to the skin but he didn't care, he was with Yuugi and that was all that he really cared about. Everything else had left his mind.
"You have to return to the water Yuugi as much as I'd hate to say such a thing," he whispered in his ear. Yuugi obliged and slipped back into the water, he didn't have the heart to protest he knew Yami was right.
Yuugi watched Yami and tears fell down his face. He wished he didn't have to say goodbye but he knew it was pointless to wish for such things, which he knew, weren't possible.
~*~
"Oh my god they're coming Ryou I knew something like this would happen…" Anzu said as she swam towards Yami and Yuugi. Ryou followed oblivious to what she was talking about till he noticed six or more mermaids advancing towards Yuugi.
"Yuugi," she called out catching his attention "quick get away from here, tell him to go they're coming and I don't know what they'll do but I can only guess."
Yuugi didn't know where they had come from but he knew what she meant, they were the mermaid soldiers who had come to take him away for breaking the law. How they had found out he wasn't sure but he knew that it probably meant death.
Yuugi turned to Yami and saying in a pleading tone "you have to leave please I don't want you to stay they might harm you."
"Who?" Yami asked him.
"The mermaid soldiers they found out somehow about you and I and have come to take me away for breaking the law," Yuugi explained still pleading.
It was too late for him to leave; six heads emerged from the water and two of the six, grabbed Yuugi by the arm and began to drag him under the water.
"No Yuugi!" Yami cried out trying to grab Yuugi's hand.
"Leave it Yami it's too late," Yuugi cried.
Yuugi didn't resist as he was dragged down to the depth of the lake. The remaining four held golden shafts which they pointed to Yami keeping him away from the edges of the water. At the ends of the shafts was a dagger, which was six inches long and was extremely sharp.
One watched Yami move forward slightly and struck the end of shaft at Yami and cut a slit across his chest. Yami clutched it as blood oozed from the freshly cut wound. The pain was excruciating and he knew it was deep; he had faced many wounds from various battles but none had caused him this much pain. He watched the mermaid who had struck him, he hadn't been paying attention to them but noticed that this mermaid was female and held a look of hatred and sorrow. The end of her shaft was covered with his blood and stained the golden dagger crimson.
"I pity you and I despise you for the fate you may have brought him. If your kind were not curious this never would have happened I just pray that his sentence will not be like many others," The mermaid who had struck him said. She told the other soldiers to leave.
The mermaid let a tear fall and wiping it away glared at Yami "YOU LED HIM TO DEATH," she cried out pointing her shaft at him again "I have the right mind to kill you for that but then Yuugi would never forgive me if I did that," she told him gritting her teeth.
"I'm sorry if I did such a thing but I love him and I will always and he knows that. So if your law sentences him to death at least he would have known love," Yami told to the mermaid.
"Don't bring your feelings into this," she spat.
"My feelings are possibly the reason as much as I'd hate to say it was what condemned him to such a fate so I believe they should be bought into account," he said grabbing the shaft at the dagger end. The dagger slit his hand and crimson blood fell to the ground. Yami winced at the pain; he had grabbed the shaft, as he believed she would attack again and this wound would be deeper, much deeper.
"For someone injured so deeply you have so much strength left in you," she said grinning, she pulled the shaft away and as she did so it cut deeper into Yami's hand. As the shaft was released his hand began to bleed deeply but he didn't mind it was something he could bare.
Anzu and Ryou watched as they talked, Anzu was still distressed by what she had happened, the distinctive image of Yuugi being taken away was so clear.
"Stop arguing that won't help him," Anzu began. Both Yami and the mermaid turned to look at her.
"What do you oppose I do Anzu, what? He was the one who led Yuugi to such a fate," the mermaid said pointing at Yami.
"Well May maybe he won't sentenced to death you never know," Ryou said butting in.
The mermaid sighed "maybe he won't be I guess I should be optimistic about it, well I believe I have spent long enough here goodbye and let us all pray that Yuugi shall be happy whatever the outcome of this thanks to him," she said before disappearing into the depth of the lake.
Yami just stared at the area of the lake where the mermaid at just been.
"Excuse her please she is quite protective of Yuugi," Ryou told Yami.
"Who might you be?" Yami asked him.
"I'm Ryou and that's Anzu," Ryou said pointing to Anzu.
"So you're the mermaid who thinks of themselves as a detective," Yami said gleaming.
"No Yami I am a detective," Ryou corrected him.
"Okay whatever you say."
Yami held his hand, only now did all the pain form the wounds he had been dealt sink in. He sat down cradling his wounded hand. The wound from his chest stung and caused him tremendous amounts of pain.
"Yami…" Ryou began.
"I'll be alright just go and see if Yuugi's alright please, I'll be fine," Ryou nodded and motioned to Anzu to follow him as he began to swim to the depth of the lake, Anzu followed reluctantly after giving a brief smile to Yami.
After they left he bend down by the edge of the lake and began to wash his hand, wincing as the cool water stung his hand. After awhile the blood stopped and he noticed how deep the cut on his hand was. As he finished cleaning his hand he was reminded of the cut on his chest, which he hadn't been paying much attention to. Removing his cloak and the shirt which the dagger has cut through he got an almost clear view of the wound. The blood had begun to dry and he realized that the wound was deep and the only reason he hadn't realized the pain from the time it had been created was the anger he had felt and the wound to his hand, which still stung. He took his shirt and dipped it in the water, when it had soaked enough he removed it and began cleaning the dried blood. The water was cold and his body tingled.
After the wound was cleaned he sat down beside the lake his mind backtracking over what had happened. It was a few hours before nightfall and there was an eerie feel over the lake. He watched his horse as it lazily ate grass; standing and going to it he untied the reins.
"I have a feeling that before the dawn I won't need you anymore so you should return home," he whispered to the horse. It seemed to understand what he said and galloped off into the forest.
Sitting down beneath the tree where his horse had been he waited, he waited for Yuugi and what would happen before dawn because he knew something would.
