Hello everybody! I wrote up the next chapter, and I'm a little disappointed in it. I mean, I like it and at the same time, I don't. That's not for me to decide, but for readers. If you like it, then I've my job well. Yesterday, I got some inspiration from watching Singin' in the Rain on stage and up close. No, I won't have Kaiba sing in the rain to announce his love to Jou... or will I? With that being said, enjoy the next chapter, and remember that I do not, and probably never will, own Yugioh.


"Alright, the full moon is suppose to be today," Yugi prepped himself. "So I should brush up on my human knowledge."

He took out the puzzle and began to work on it, because it usually helped him think.

"There are still a lot of things I don't know about this transformation, though," he mumbled to himself. "Will it hurt? How long will it last? Are there any side effects?"

Just as a piece clicked, Yugi remembered something.

"I know just who to ask all these question!" Yugi exclaimed putting away his treasure. "The all knowing Marik!"

Yugi immediately swam over to Marik's place. It was dark and spooky, with evil laughter echoing through the cave.

Yugi peeked his head into the cavern which held the psychotic merman. He was one of the only other mermen, besides himself, that Yugi knew of.

"Hello?" he asked nervously.

The laughter stopped after he spoke, and then a black tailed merman swam up to the intruder, and put him a choke hold.

"Spies aren't welcome here, pathetic creature," he growled.

"Aren't you the same creature as me?" he asked quietly.

"Oh yeah."

He let go of the smaller and smiled wickedly, asking, "What can I do for you?"

"Well I was wondering about the transformation tonight," he answered timidly, "and wondered if you had any knowledge of it."

"Of coarse I do, stupid fish boy!" he laughed.

"Would you mind sparing some knowledge?" he asked politely.

"Maybe," he replied coolly.

Yugi was confused by the response before realizing what he meant."What's the price?"

Marik smiled and said, "I'll make a deal with you. I give you the knowledge you seek, and you have to be my to me my test subject for the day."

"What?"

"You'll be my little lab rat," he repeated. "I've been making all sorts of potions and spells that I've been dying to try on something... or someone."

"You know what, I'll find out by myself," Yugi answered quickly.

"Fine, risk exposing yourself in the human world," he said pretending to examine his potions intently.

Yugi thought about it for a while before sighing. "Deal."

Marik smiled and gave him a vile. "Drink up!"

Yami couldn't wait until work was over.

All he could do was worry about Yugi, and hoped he wasn't going to hurt himself because of the transformation.

'In my dream he seemed fine, but who knows what might happen to achieve that look,' he worried.

At long last, he was able to go home.

"It's almost night time, too," he said to himself.

He ran over to the beach once he got home and looked around for Yugi.

'Where is he?' he thought. 'Yugi always comes to greet me when I come home.'

At last, he spotted the merman swim over to him.

He was swimming a little, strangely though. It was as if he were... drunk?

"What happened to you," he asked the zoned out merboy.

"Hehe, your hair is all spiky and weird," Yugi laughed.

Yami just watched as Yugi began to play with his own hair.

"Spiky, spiky, spiky," he sang.

"Yugi, are you drunk?" Yami finally asked.

"Wha's dat," he slurred before playing with the water.

"I'll take that as a yes," Yami sighed. "What about the full moon?"

At the sound of 'full moon' Yugi became more alert, and cried, "Quick, get my tail dry!"

"What?"

Yugi pulled himself out of the water, revealing the gorgeous purple tail that made him thought of as mystical and amazing.

"Help me get it dry!" he repeated trying to get the water off with his hands.

"What will happen to you?" asked Yami worriedly.

Yugi looked up at him and smiled. "It's a surprise, but you gotta help me out."

Yami took off his jacket, and started to wipe the water off as fast as he could.

The full moon began to appear in the clear sky, and soon Yugi's tail was surrounded by sparkles and a bright glow blinded them both.

When the light faded, and the sparkles were no more, Yami opened up his eyes and saw the tail was gone.

"Yugi we did it!" he cried happily.

Yugi opened his eyes weakly, and gave him a small smile. "Great."

Yami became worried at the response. "Are you alright?"

"Just tired, but it's normal after transformation," Yugi explained. "I'll be good as new tomor-"

He feel asleep before he could finish, and Yami couldn't help but smile.

'He's finally a human.'

Then, the realization of Yugi not wearing any clothes hit him, and he hid his eyes quickly.

"Oh crap, he's naked!"

Yami quickly cover him up with the jacket and carried him home.

Once they got there, Yami placed him on a bed in the guest bedroom.

"Good night, Yugi," he whispered before heading over to his room.

He sat in his bed, and remembered the golden box Yugi always had with him.

'He must have left it in the sea.'

Yami got up, and went over to the beach.

It took a while before he found the item, and he had to do a little swimming in order to get it.

'Stupid box,' Yami growled in his thoughts. 'I have no idea why Yugi loves this thing so much.'

He went over to Yugi's room quietly, and placed the box on top of the desk next to the bed.

He watched Yugi sleep peacefully, before going to his room, and drying himself.

Once he was done, he decided to go to sleep.

Dreams filled his head with happy images.

Yugi was sitting with him on the sand by the sea.
It was sparkling and glowing from the moon light just above them.
Yugi was looking at Yami lovingly and whispered, "I knew you would come to me."

"Of coarse, I did," he replied. "You're really special to me."
"I love you Yami."
At first he wasn't sure what to say, but then he replied, "I love you, too."

For the rest of the dream, the two young lovers just sat and watched the beauty known as the sea.


That's a nice way to end the chapter. I still think this chapter sorta stunk, but whatever. Give me three reviews, and I shall write up the next chapter. Until then, thank you to everyone who has reviewed so far, and bye-bye for now:-)
