I've finally finished this chapter! On the bad side, I'm sick. My head hurts, my nose is stuffy, and I'm about to fall asleep onto my computer. Oh well, there's no reason to complain about something as stupid as a little cold. Well, I don't own Yugioh.
A week had passed since Yugi was kidnapped, but each day Yami worked hard searching for his secret love.
Currently, he was walking around town, looking for any possible clues of where Yugi might by.
His unluckiness had changed as soon as he ran into the person who could answer all his questions.
"It's you," Yami said looking at the person. "The old lady in the cloak."
"Hey there, kido," she greeted. "Did ya find em, yet?"
"No, but I will," he replied determinedly.
"Well I think I may actually be able to help you out, young man," she told him.
She gave him a paper, and Yami gasped as he read it out loud.
"'Coming soon, a mythical creature which you could only see in your dreams until now. Come over to Zigfried's Zoo to see this amazing, trick preforming creature.'"
He looked over to the old lady and said, "They're talking about Yugi!"
"Your little friend is a mythical creature, huh?" she asked. "Quite an attraction you got there. You know, merpeople and humans were never meant to be together."
"I don't care what they say," he remarked. "I know that he feels the same about me."
"How do you know that?" she asked.
"I just... know," he answered.
"So, this piece of paper seems to have given us a big clue," she finally stated.
"'We?'" he asked. "You'll help me?"
She shrugged and rejoined, "Why not?"
"Thank you, it means a lot to me," he told her.
"No problem, kiddo."

"Honda, can you go out and get some more tuna for me?" Zigfriend asked his crony.
"Whatever."
Honda staggered out of the lab, looking at the, not sickly, merman.
'I promise I'll find a way to help you out, little buddy,' he thought determinedly.
As he walked out on the street looking around for the food store, he ran into just the right person.
"Hey watch it!" he shouted.
"How dare you shout at me, you baboon-like man!" an old lady yelled. "How about saying 'excuse me?'"
What's wrong Miss?" Yami asked hearing all the commotion.
Once he saw Honda he cried, "You're the guy who grabbed me the day Yugi was kidnapped!"
He grabbed him the collar of his shirt, and pushed him onto a building. "You better tell me where he is!"
"Yes, I'll help you!" Honda cried. "I hate to see the poor little guy in some much pain!"
"Let him go, sonny," the lady commanded. "He speaks the truth."
Yami reluctantly let him go, but didn't stop interrogating him.
"Where is he?" he asked Honda as calmly as possible.
"I would show you," he replied. "But not now."
"Why not?" she asked.
"Zigfried and his goons are at the lab right now," Honda informed him. "But I have night duty to watch the merman."
"His name is Yugi," Yami told him angrily.
"To watch Yugi," he corrected. "It'll be easier to sneak him out of the lab."
"Sounds like a plan," she said. "What time?"
"I'd say about ten or so," Honda estimated. "Listen guys, I'm sorry about this all."
"It's alright," she assured while nudging Yami. "Right?"
Yami sighed and said, "Yeah, at least you're helping us."
"Now boys," she said, "what's our plan?"

Zigfried was napping on his desk, dreaming of how rich he'll become, while Yugi just sat in the tank, depressed as ever.
'Where are you, Yami?' he thought heartbroken. 'I need you.'
He watched as Honda came through the door and woke up Zigfried.
Yugi's hunger pains were getting worse by the minute. He had barley eaten anything since he was put in the tank.
He also stayed wide awake, and slept for short time periods.
This caused everything to become paler and sicker looking.
No longer was he a bright, mystical sea wonder, but a weak, pitiful creature.
Struggling to stay awake, he watched as Zigfried waved good-bye to him, and Honda coming closer.
He didn't have the energy to swim away, so he braced himself for anything.
"It's alright, Yugi," he assured him. "Everything's gonna be alright soon."
He perked up a bit at the sound of his name, but it wasn't very noticeable.
'What does he mean by that?' Yugi thought in puzzlement.
He continued to watch the human get a towel ready on the floor, and grabbing a ladder to the side of the tank, too.
Hearing someone entering, he turned his attention towards the doorway.
An old looking lady said something to Honda, causing the male to leave.
He grew skittish when woman came closer to the tank.
He struggled to get up, until he heard a familiar voice.
/Yugi, calm down!/ she whispered in a different language. /It's me, Sonya./
She took of the hood and straightened up, revealing her long, red hair and emerald eyes.
//Sonya?// he asked weakly. //How do you know how to speak my language?//
She placed a hand onto the glass separating them and said/Isn't it obvious? I'm a sea sorceress./
//I thought they were a myth!// Yugi cried. //So that's how you know so much about the transformation.//
/Bingo,/ she said smiling. /Now let's bust you outta here./
She went over to the computer and heard Yugi ask//Is Yami here?//
She turned to him and replied/You don't think your knight in shining armor is gonna abandon you, do you?/
//No, of course not! I was just making sure,// he said blushing.
She laughed, as she tried to hack into Zigfried's computer.
'Crap, he has a password set onto it,' she thought in frustration.
Sonya took out her cell phone and called Yami.
"Hello?" a deep voice answered.
"Listen Yami, I need to talk to Honda," she told him.
"Sonya? Where are you?" he asked confused. "How do you know Honda?"
"Cause I was there with you, kid," she said in her granny voice.
"That was YOU!" he shouted.
"Oww, not so loud," she hissed. "You're hurting my ear. Now give it to Honda!"
"Hello?" Honda greeted.
"Honda, what's Ziggy's password?" she asked. "I don't know much about the guy."
"Alright, try his name," he told her.
She typed it in and said, "Didn't work."
"How about 'Die Kaiba?'" he suggested.
"Nope."
He paused for a few seconds before saying, "You boob."
She typed it in and smiled. "Got it!"
"Great," Honda said. "Hey, Yami wants to talk to you."
"Put him on."
"Sonya," Yami asked. "Is Yugi around?"
"Yeah, why?" she asked knowing quite well what he wanted to say.
"Tell Yugi that I'm sorry," he told her.
"And?" she asked knowingly.
"And that... I love him."
"Gladly," she replied. "Now let me work!"
"Alright, meet you at the parking lot."
She hung up the phone and continued to play around with the computer.
/I got it, Yugi,/ she informed the merman. /The tank cover should come off./
She watched as a machine took it off, and climbed up on the ladder.
"Yugi," she called quietly. "Come on, buddy."
Yugi opened up his eyes, and smiled weakly at her.
He tried to get up, but failed miserably.
"You okay?" she asked him worriedly.
"Just tired," he whispered.
Sonya went into the tank, and grabbed the light boy.
"After this, you gotta put on some weight, cutie," she informed him.
Once they got out, Sonya placed hi onto the blanket and began to dry him.
She heard some noises, and decided that they should quicker than planned.
"Time for a piggy back ride," she told him.
She ran out of the room, sneakily, and made her way towards Yami.
"You know, Yami wanted me to give you a message," she told him.
"What?" he whispered.
"He says he's sorry, and that he lo-"
Sonya was caught off by the sound of footsteps drawing close.
Hiding in the shadows, she waited for the person to pass.
"Someone stole, Finny!" a man yelled. "I want him back NOW!!"
She watched the pink haired man got into a hissy fit.
'That mist be Ziggy,' she thought.
"How can I be more superior to Kaiba without the key ingredient, you boobs!"
'Yep, that's Ziggy.'
She felt Yugi falling into unconsciousness on her back and frowned.
'There's not much time left.'
She waited a bit longer for the coast to be clear, and continued to make her way out.
Sonya ran right into Yami, who didn't hear her.
"Yugi!" he cried noticing his fallen counterpart and secret love. "What happened?"
Before Sonya could explain, a gun shot was heard.
"Where do you think your going with MY attraction?" asked a furious Zigfried.
"Time to go," Honda called from the car.
The two adults and merman dove into the car, and drove towards the sea.
Zigfried ran into his car, and pursued them.

Yami held Yugi's head in his lap, and caressed the pale face gently.
"I'm so sorry, Yugi," he said quietly. "If only I was a better friend, I could have prevented this all."
Yugi placed a hand on Yami and whispered, "I don't blame you, Yami."
Yami looked into those amethyst eyes as soon as he heard the familiar angelic voice.
"How can you not hate me?" he asked. "I should have come sooner."
"Because I... love... you," he said trying to stay awake.
Yami's eyes widened as he replied, "I love you, too."
Sonya smiled at the two young lovers, but that smile quickly turned into a frown once they got to Yami's place.
"We're here," she told them.
This story will be coming to end real soon. Like the next chapter probably. So give me five reviews, so I can wrap this up. Until then my friend, adios! (sorry if I spelled that wrong!)
