Here it is, the next chapter for all you nice readers and reviewers. I ran into writer's block for a long time, while writing this. I like to write out the next three chapters of a story, before posting up one. I haven't written the next two yet, because this chapter was all I could come up with before getting stuck again. But fear not, I have found ideas looking around the internet, and doing random things like eating bananas and petting my dog. Funny how an idea just pops into my head. Anyways, read, enjoy, and remember that I don't own Yugioh!


A week had passed since Yugi had moved into his new home, and decided that he would stay for a longgg time.

Whenever he would get the chance, he would watch Yami. Whatever he was doing, Yugi was sure to see it.

By now, he had learned most of Yami's routine and tried to think of the best possible time to meet Yami, and have a, somewhat, chat.

For now, though, he was interested in Yami's newest visitors.

Yugi had already seen a tall, mean looking brunette, and a goofy blond guy. Once he noticed Yami talking to some brunette girl, too. Today, however, there were two albino colored hair guys.

One was gentle and kind looking, while the other looked like a pyromaniac. No matter what they looked like, Yugi knew one thing for certain, they loved each other.

'I hope my look alike and I will be like that someday,' Yugi dreamed.

He snapped out of his little daydream as soon as he saw the three coming his way, and decided to hide behind some rocks nearby.

'For once being small is a good thing,' he thought.

"Listen you guys," Yami started to talk, "I mean it."

Yugi listened in closely as the gentler one spoke.

"Yami, you know there's no such thing as a mermaid," he insisted.

"Yeah, you psycho," Bakura added. "If there's no such thing as a leprecon, there sure as hell is no such thing as a mermaid."

"You were drunk, that day," Yami explained, "and it was a merman."

Yugi smiled at the correction. He hated being thought of a girl.

"Well excuse me, pharaoh," Bakura spat out.

Yami growled at the nickname. He called him that, because he viewed Yami being as smug and self-centered as a king.

"Shut up, tomb robber."

Bakura earned that name, because Yami thought of him to be as low as a tomb robber.

"Would you two, please, give it a break," pleaded Ryou.

"Fine," they both muttered.

"Anyways, I think my dream was connected to him, you know?" Yami continued. "I have this feeling in my gut about him."

Bakura just snorted at the last statement, and insisted, "Psycho."

Ryou shook his head in disagreement. "I think it may be a sign, too."

"What?" Bakura asked bluntly.

"I think you may have a point, Yami," Ryou said looking out into the sea. "The dream could have been a look into the future."

Yugi was puzzled about the dream they were talking about. Can humans predict the future in their sleep?

Yami walked up closer to the water, and looked around for nothing in particular.

'I wish you would give me a clue,' he thought.

Later on that day, Yugi sighed to himself, while laying on the sandy floor.

"When can I finally meet him?" he asked himself. "I mean, every time I want to be with him, he runs off and goes somewhere."

He just sighed again, and decided that he would be making another appearance tomorrow, right in front of him.

This time, there would be no running away.

---

When Yami got up the next day, he planned to spend his day off at the beach.

'If I see him, I'll try to talk to him,' he decided. 'Or, Bakura will be right, and I'm just going crazy.'

He really hoped Bakura wasn't right.

After a little prep talk to himself, and getting dressed in the usual jeans and t-shirt, Yami slowly made his way over to the blue, shimmering water.

He looked around for his 'friend,' and sighed when there was no sign of him.

"I guess I should wait a little while for him." He sat down on the sand, and looked out into the ocean, daydreaming about their future encounter.

Yugi popped his head out of the water, and noticed Yami.

'He's here!' Yugi yelled in his mind happily. 'Now I don't have to look for him.'

He eagerly swam over to the edge of the water, and found a flat rock he could lean on.

Yami was so busy in his thoughts, that he didn't notice the merman, until a splash of cold water hit his face.

"Ahh!" he cried in surprise.

At first, Yugi wanted to swim off, but forced himself to stay in place.

'No turning back now,' he commanded himself.

Yami looked over to the source of the splash, only to find large amethyst eyes looking at him with curiosity.

"It's you," Yami whispered. "I can't believe it."

Yugi tilted his head in confusion. 'Oh super, I don't know how to speak human.'

Yami waved his hand and hoarsely said, "Hi."

Yugi mimicked the gesture and tried to repeat what Yami said, but had trouble.

"You can't speak my language?" It was more of a statement than a question.

He then pointed to himself and said, "Yami."

He continued to point to himself and say his name over and over.

"Ya-Ya-," Yugi attempted. "Ya-mi."

Yami had a huge grin on his face as he nodded his head.

Yugi returned the smile and pointed to him proudly saying, "Yami!"

"Yeah, you got it!" Yami cried.

"Yami, Yami , Yami," Yugi chanted happily.

'This isn't so hard,' he told himself.

Then Yami pointed to him, with a questioning look.

Yugi knew what he was asking and pointed to himself, and said, "Yami."

Yami sweat dropped at the answer.

'He thinks everything is called Yami,' he groaned in his mind.

"No, I'm Yami," he explained pointing to himself. "You're..."

"Yami?" he asked innocently.

'Maybe it's not that easy,' Yugi concluded.

"No, no, no," Yami insisted. "My name is Yami!"

Yugi thought for a second before smiling.

He pointed to himself, and sweetly replied, "No."

Yami blinked, and began to laugh.

"You think your name is 'no'?" he chuckled.

Yugi laughed too, not getting what was so funny. He was just happy to finally be with Yami.

For the rest of the day, Yami spoke to Yugi about his life, and teaching him words like car, house, food, bed, sea, sky, and friend.

When it was finally getting dark, Yugi looked over at Yami, and then back at the sea.

"Don't worry," Yami assured, "I'll be back tomorrow to talk some more."

Yugi smiled, and looked straight into Yami's eyes.

"Good-bye," Yami said smiling back.

"Good b-bye," Yugi repeated before disappearing in the water.

The crimson eyed man then got up, and began to make his way home.

'Looks like I'm not crazy,' he told himself. 'If I am, then I hope I don't get better any time soon.'


There you, guys. Is it good for a desperate attempt to finish a chapter? As always, I'd like at least three reviews to tell me what you think. Once again, I'd like to thank you all for reading my story, and I look forward to see what you think. :-)
