Here it is chapter five. Thanks to people who review quickly, I can update quickly! Before I let you read, however, I would like to thank Mystik Genie for giving me an idea you'll get a glimpse of in this chapter. I don't own Yugi. Enjoy!

A week had passed since that eventful day, and both human and merman loved every minute together.

While they were together, Yami discovered that Yugi was a quick learner. In that short time, Yugi was just about fluent in his language. He only had the occasional stumbling, but other than that, it was perfect.

Yugi had learned about the human world, and discovered how exciting and different it was from ocean life. This only fueled his longing to live on land.

Currently, the two were in the same spot they were in the day they first communicated.

"So what have you been up to?" Yami asked the merman.

Yugi still didn't know how to pronounce his name in Yami's language.

"Oh you know," Yugi replied. "Swimming, and well, swimming some more."

"Did you communicate with any other sea life?"

"Nope."

"Explore the ocean further?"

"No."

"Check out the sunken ship over by your old home?"

"It sank?" Yugi asked astonished.

Yugi had told Yami why he had appeared on the beach by his home. Yami told him that the monster he saw was called a ship, and it had an oil spill.

"Yeah, it was on TV yesterday."

"Maybe I'll check it out when you go to work tomorrow," Yugi told him. "By the way, how are Jou and Seto doing in the love zone?"

Yami just snorted.

"That bad, huh?"

"The two just don't know how to be nice to each other," Yami sighed in frustration. "I tell them to give a gift to each other, and you know what they gave each other?"

"Insults, and physical pain?"

"That, and Seto gave Jou a sandwich," Yami added.

"That's not so bad."

"A knuckle sandwich."

"That is," Yugi laughed. "What did Jou give Seto?"

"Let's just say Seto has a phobia of pink bunnies now," Yami said nervously.

"Oh," Yugi said blushing.

The two sat in silence before Yugi asked, "Wouldn't it be great if I were a human?"

Yami smile and nodded his head. "Of coarse. That way I wouldn't just have to tell you about the things we humans do, you could experience it yourself."

"That's an opportunity I would never want to pass up."

Yami still had a question buzzing around his head.

"Hey, why did you just show yourself so fearlessly the day I first saw you?" he asked. "Weren't you afraid?"

"No, should I have been?"

Yami was surprised by the answer.

"Well, yeah!" Yami exclaimed. "I mean, don't you know anything about what people do your fish friends?"

"They... eat them," Yugi guessed.

"Yeah!"

"So," Yugi shrugged. "Almost everything in the ocean eats some sort of fish, or other aquatic life."

"Well have I ever told you about what a scientist will do to you?"

Yugi tilted his head and asked, "What's a scientist?"

Yami sighed and explained, "A scientists is a person who has an advanced knowledge of one or more study, such as physical and natural science."

Yugi's eye twitched after the definition before asking, "What?"

"It's someone who's very smart."

"Oh."

"Anyways, those smart people will do experiments on you like cutting you open, and putting you into some kind of zoo to entertain some snot-nosed brat."

"Why would they do that?" Yugi asked. "Couldn't they just ask me, like you are?"

"Some people just get too caught up in the world of science, I suppose."

Yugi thought about what Yami had said, before leaning closer to the human and whispering, "At least I know I can trust you."

Yami's eyes softened, as he replied, "You'll always be able to trust me, Myoushu."

Yugi looked at Yami, before questioning the name.

"It means exquisite beauty or charms," Yami explained before having a light blush on his face. "I thought the name would suit you, but if you don't want-"

"I do!" Yugi interrupted before quietly adding, "Thank you."

The began to turn darker, and stars began to shine above the two.

"Looks like it's time for me to head back home," Yami said looking up at the sky.

"I guess so," Yugi, who is now known as Myoushu, replied sadly.

"Don't worry, I'll come see you a few a minutes before I have to go to work, okay."

Myoushu just nodded his head, and began to go underwater before saying, "Good-bye Yami."

"Good-bye Myoushu."

Yami saw a smile on the younger one's face, right before he disappeared into his undersea world.

After Yami had gone out to work, Yugi had decided to check out the sunken ship Yami was talking about earlier.

He knew he was getting close when he saw all the dead fish, and the water was getting a dirtier color.

Finally, he saw the large ship, and eagerly swam over to it, excited about the encounter.

"Wow, this thing is almost as big as a whale."

Yugi immediately started to look around the ship. He saw all sorts of objects he remembered Yami talk about, like spoons, forks, chairs, tables, an old hat with a hole on the very top of it, some pencils and pens, and a couple of boots. Then, something shiny caught his attention.

He swam over to it, and picked up what looked like a puzzle piece.

"What's this?" he asked himself.

That's when he noticed a golden box that was tipped over, and had spilled out more puzzle pieces.

Yugi started to pick up the pieces from the ship's floor, unaware of an unwanted visitor stalking him.

Once he picked up the last piece with an ancient Egyptian eye on it, he put the piece in the box, and decided to leave.

As soon as he turned around, however, he was face to face with a shark.

"Umm, hello," Yugi greeted nervously. "What's up?"

"Well," the shark replied smiling, "I'm kinda hungry, and looking for a little snack."

"Oh really," Yugi laughed shakily. "There are a lot of dead fish out there ready for eating."

"Oh no," the shark explained, "I like my food nice and alive."

Yugi gulped as the shark began to circle him.

"You what I do and don't like at the same time?" the shark asked eying him hungrily.

"Uhh, dolphins?" he guessed innocently.

"No, intruders that go on my territory."

"Why's that?"

"They make the dumb mistake of intrusion, but make a splendid lunch!"

He charged into Yugi, but missed when the frightened merman swam up and out of the ship. The shark immediately went hot on pursuit of the boy, and let out a good burst of speed before grabbing his tail, making Yugi yell in pain.

The merman then took the box, and smashed it as hard as he could on the shark's head, but it didn't make him budge.

"Let go!" cried Yugi.

Their surroundings, were now painted in a red color, only fueling the shark's hunger and viscousness.

Finally, the box in Yugi's hand began to glow, and the shark felt a horrible jolt of pain.

He quickly let go, and swam off in fright.

Yugi was confused by his action, but didn't complain. He slowly began to swim over to the beach. His damaged tail was in too much pain to move by the time he was only a few feet away, and had to crawl the rest of the way onto a rock.

He still clutched the puzzle box in pain, and began to whimper a bit.

'Ya-mi, please... help.'

---

Yami was absentmindedly playing with his pen before he heard a faint voice crying for help.

He pushed it aside, and soon fell asleep from boredom.

Red was everywhere. A crimson blood red.
Yami looked around the strange place before hearing a faint sound.
'Ya-mi, please... help.'
"That sounds like...Myoushu!"
'Yami... it hurts so... much!'
"Hold on, I'm coming!" he yelled.

Yami bolted out of his sleep. Worry and deep fear still in his gut.

Something was very wrong with Myoushu, and he was going to find out what.

He got into his car, and began to drive as fast as he could over to the beach.

'I'm coming, Myoushu,' he thought. 'Just hold on.'

So what do you think will happen? Will I let him die on a rock, or will Yami get to him on time? You'll find out if I get at least three reviews! By the way, Mystik Genie is the true mastermind behind the pink bunnies thing. I don't like bunnies cause I'm allergic to them. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I'll see you guys next time I update:-)
