Here's the next chapter everyone! Yesterday, I learned that I don't like operas, they give me horrible headaches. Enough drabble, I don't own Yugioh.
Honda dragged Yugi out of the truck and was having difficulty carrying the squirming boy.
"Are we there yet?" he asked after getting kicked in the shin twice.
Zigfried got out the keys to the lab and opened up the door with a small, silver key.
"Would you stop your whining," he spat. "Just hang on a few seconds.
He went inside with Honda following and put on a white lab coat.
Next, he typed in some things in a computer and got an enormous pipe attached to a somewhat large tank to pour out sea water into it.
"Give it a few seconds," he told Honda.
"Wow, you have that all hooked up to your computer?" Honda asked amazed.
"All of this is possible with just a password I came up with," he explained.
Yugi watched Zigfried walk over to him with fearful eyes.
"Don't be unhappy, my little money maker," he told Yugi. "Soon you shall be a star!"
Once the tank was ready, Zigfried commanded Honda to put Yugi into the tank.
"I don't know Zig-"
"Just do it, you boob!"
Honda muttered some bad words under his breath, as he made his way over to the tank.
"Please, sir," Yugi begged, "don't put me in there!"
"I'm sorry kid," he said sadly to the frightened boy.
"No, no!"
Honda put him in the water, and watched with astonishment, as a tail burst through the clothes restraining it.
"Whoa," he whispered to himself. "You really are a merman."
Yugi looked up at him with fear and sadness, as he tried to cover up his tail.
He sank down to the bottom of the tank, just big enough to hold him prisoner.
Zigfried had a wicked grin on his face, as he called over some of the scientists on his cell phone.
"Yes that's right, an amazing discovery," he said. "So come over quickly!"

Yami burst into the Dining Dolphin, and ran into Anzu.
"Where's Sonya?" he demanded.
"I'll go get her," she said. "Is something wrong?"
"If you don't mind, I need to speak with Sonya first," he replied.
Anzu ran over backstage and came back with Sonya.
"What's up, Mr.Jealousy?" she asked. She noticed Yugi wasn't with him and asked, "Where's the cute one?"
"That's what I need your help with," he panted. "Someone kidnapped him!"
"WHAT!" she yelled.
He dragged the two girls outside and explained the story.
"Damn, someone figured out who he was," Sonya cursed. "We have to help him."
"Yeah, Yugi doesn't deserve to be some show poodle," Anzu agreed.
"You knew about Yugi, didn't you?" Yami asked realizing Anzu knew their secret.
"Yeah, I sorta figured it out," she explained blushing.
"So how do we help out our fallen comrade?" Sonya asked.
"I don't know who even kidnapped him, or who anyone looked like besides for the guy who dragged me into the alley," he said frustrated.
"Yami, you couldn't have helped under those circumstances," Anzu comforted.
"I promised him that I'd always be there to protect him," Yami retorted. "Look how well I kept that promise."
"Hey, don't beat yourself up," Sonya told him. "That scummy dirt bag is the one we have to focus on."
"Yeah," Anzu agreed. "We have to look for some clues!"
Yami sighed and said in a defeated tone, "What's the point? We already lost."
He turned and began to make his way home.
"Yami-"
Anzu was stopped by Sonya.
"He'll be fine," she assured her pupil.
"How do you know?" Anzu asked.
"Call it a feeling," she explained walking away from the restaurant.
"Where are you going?" Anzu asked.
"I'm gonna look around for some clues."

Yami continue to walk over to his house in shame, when he ran into someone familiar.
"Hey learn to walk much!" a voice cried.
The old woman in a cloak turned and found Yami looking at her with sadness spread on his face.
"Oh, it's you kid," she said changing her voice back to an old lady's. "I didn't notice you were coming by."
"I'm sorry miss," he mumbled.
She examined his face and sighed. "Someone you care for has been taken away from you."
He looked up at her in amazement.
"How did you know that?" he asked.
"I can see it written all over your face," she explained. "But don't worry, I'm sure that person will return to you."
Yami shook his head. "That's impossible, I was suppose to protect him, and failed miserably."
"How so?" she asked. "What is it that you could have done to change the events, which happened to you?"
Yami was puzzled at the question and replied, "I'm not too sure, actually."
"Then why blame yourself, kiddo?" she asked laughing. "It's not like you can control what will happen."
"Yeah, but I still could have been more protective and alert," Yami remarked.
The old lady huffed out in annoyance.
"Listen up, Kid," she said, "You need to stop playing the 'poor me' game and do something about it. You're not doing any better moping around."
Her words struck a chord in him, as he realized she was right.
"Anyways," she said getting off subject, "how's that puzzle coming along?"
"Oh, I almost finished it," Yami told her remembering about it.
"You know, maybe the other half of the puzzle is complete, too," she said.
"How do you know?" he asked.
She smiled and replied, "Call it a feeling."
---
Once Yami got back home, he pulled out the puzzle and began to work on it.
The pieces easily went into each other, until half of the puzzled was finally complete.
"Done!" he happily said. "Now where's Yugi's half?"
He dug around in Yugi's room and found it in a drawer.
He placed the two pieces together with ease, but was shocked to find one piece missing.
"Crap!" he cried in frustration. "Where's the last piece?!"
After he dug around for a few hours, Yami finally gave up the hunt.
'The old woman was right,' he thought. 'I have to do something in order to get Yugi back safe and sound.'

Back with Zigfried, he was doing a victory dance, while the other scientists and Honda fought with Yugi, in order to get a physical exam and some DNA.
"Let go!" Yugi cried in vain.
"Amazing, it can talk!" one man said.
"I wonder if it can do other human things, too!"
"Let's run more tests!!"
Zigfried looked over to the group of science lovers and said, "Your job is to get some information on fish boy, and then go on with your life!"
"But Mr.Zigfried-"
"I will not have a group of nerdy boobs hovering over my main attraction!" he yelled.
The scientists ran out of the office once they attained all they need for research, and paid Zigfried large amounts of money each, for the great opportunity.
Honda frowned at the sight of the spirit broken beauty.
A lid was put on top of the aquarium, as Honda made his way towards the pink-haired loony.
"What do you think of Finny the Fishboy?" Zigfried asked him. "Catchy, no?"
"I think it-I mean he already has a name," Honda informed him.
"Well, then he should learn his new one."
Honda watched the merman curl up into a ball and start to cry into his lap.
"Do we really have to do this to him?"
"Do you want money and a job?" Zigfried asked.
Honda nodded, and Zigfried replied, "Then stop questioning me!"
He went over to a computer and began to type up some things.
"You may go now if you wish," he said over his shoulder. "But starting tomorrow, you will have night duty to watch our little friend.
Honda went over to the tank, and felt his heart sink when Yugi looked up at him with pleading eyes.
He placed a hand on the tank, but Yugi moved away from him as much as he could.
"See ya, Zig," he said walking out.
Zigfried turned over to Yugi and walked up to the tank.
"Starting tomorrow, your training will begin, so get a good night's rest!"
Yugi just looked at him fearfully and curled up into a tighter ball.
The pink haired man just laughed and went back to typing.
I'm still being evil, but it might change in the next chapter. I need five reviews to continue writing, so be sure to do so! In other news, this story is almost complete. I predict that three to four more chapters will be written. Then, I can focus my attention to any other stories or ideas. Until then, good-bye people!
