Okay, after seeing what the majority of the people want, I give you another puzzleshipping fic. However, there will probably be a lot of twists with everyones love lives, so who knows where I'm gonna go with this. I don't own Yugioh.


Yugi swam as fast as he could, trying to find his friends so he could tell them the exciting news about his look alike.

'Yami,' he thought to himself.

Daydreaming about the event that had happened, he didn't notice the person in his path and made a collision with that someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" he cried.

"Yugi?" Anzu said rubbing her head. "You made it to the festival!"

Yugi noticed she had a pretty headpiece with a shell in the center, pearl bracelets, and a pretty sapphire crystal necklace around her neck.

"Wow, you look... dressed up," Yugi commented with a blush.

"Well it is a party," Anzu replied. "You should have dressed up, too."

Yugi just shrugged it off and said, "Oh well."

"Here, you can have one of my bracelets," she said handing him a pretty pearl and seashell patterned one.

"Thanks Anzu."

"Don't mention it," she told him. "Hey, where's Ryou?"

"Probably trying to dazzle his crush," Yugi replied. "By the way, you'll never guess who I ran into."

"Who?" Anzu asked with excitement in her voice.

"This guy called Yami, and he looked almost exactly like me!" Yugi cried. "I saved him from drowning, like I saved Jounouchi the first time we met him, remember."

"How can I forget?" Anzu asked. "The dope gave me an ugly bruise on my arm, when he was holding on for dear life."

"He was in shock, Anzu," Yugi reminded her. "Anyways, that Yami was really handsome, and nice."

"Do you like him?" Anzu asked with a glint of mischief.

"Yeah," Yugi replied. "I want you to meet him, and see if you like him more than me."

Anzu was surprised by his answer. "But you just called him sweet and handsome! How could you not like him more than me!"

"I do like him as a friend, and perhaps a brother someday, but I think you two would go together pretty well."

"Yugi, you're just trying to cover up your feeling for him, aren't you?" Anzu questioned. "It's okay to like a human."

"I know that, but I didn't feel that sort of click, you know," Yugi told her. "Besides, I want you to meet him."

"Alright, where is he?" she asked.

"Last time I checked, he was by the docks," Yugi told her. "By now, I think he left, though."

"Well, how hard can it be to find someone who looks like you?" Anzu asked him. "His hair will be a definite eye catcher."

"Hey!" Yugi pouted.

"Sorry, but it's true," she told him blushing.

"C'mon, let's try to find him," Yugi said.

---

"So did you talk to him?" Anzu asked as the swam closer towards the shore.

"A little bit, but you know how little I know of their language," Yugi told her.

They poked their heads from the water, and looked around for any signs of Yami.

"Hey, is that him?" Anzu whispered pointing to a lone soul on the same docks.

"Yeah, but why is he still there?"

Yugi noticed Yami had changed into a sweatshirt, after the little fall, and had dry jeans on.

Still, he looked as gorgeous as ever.

Anzu and Yugi both sighed at the sight of him, before blushing.

"I'm sorry," Yugi said nervously. "I shouldn't be getting into your love life."

"No Yugi," Anzu stepped in. "You saw him first."

"This is silly," Yugi sighed. "We're fighting over a human!"

"Yeah, it's not like we have any chance with him," she added sadly.

"That doesn't mean we can try to be friends with him, right?" Yugi asked with hope.

"Yeah, let's go say hi," Anzu said.

Swimming closer, Yugi noticed the distant look on Yami's face.

'I wonder what he's thinking about,' he thought.

The two curious creatures swam right in front of Yami, but he seemed to be in his own little world.

"He's not paying attention," Yugi told her.

"I how we can," Anzu whispered back.

Yugi watched as she dove under the water.

Curiously, he watched to see what his friend would do next.

In a matter of seconds, Anzu leaped out of the water, catching Yami's attention on the beauty bathed in moonlight, and dove back in with a splash.

That's when Yami noticed Yugi smiling up at him, and soon a sapphire eyed mermaid joining him.

"Hey, you're that merman who saved me," he said in awe. "You must be his friend."

Anzu and Yugi swam up closer to him, and Yami felt like he was in some sort of fairy tale.

"Geez, I thought that Disney movie was just a fake," he said out loud forgetting the two creatures knew what he was saying.

"He knows about the 'Little Mermaid,'" Anzu told Yugi in their language smiling. "I wonder what else he might know."

Yami was confused at what the mermaid said to the boy. "Uhh, I hope that wasn't an insult or something."

The two shock their heads, before Yugi asked, "You know Kisara and Ariel?"

"I know that Ariel was from that kiddie movie," Yami answered. "Kisara I don't really know, but her name sounds so... familiar."

Anzu looked off into the distance, when she noticed two shadowy figures approaching.

"So you said your name was Yugi, right?" Yami asked.

Yugi nodded his head and pointed to his friend. "Anzu's my friend."

Just then, Anzu grabbed Yugi's hands and dove under the water.

Yami was confused by the action, when two people greeted him.

"Hey Yami, what's up," a blond, pretty woman asked.

"Daydreaming as usual," an Egyptian man teased.

"Hey Mai," he greeted. "Hey Mahad."

Yami looked back into the ocean for a split second, before turning back to his friends.

"I was just thinking about that day," he told them. "I wish I could thank the person who saved my life."

"Get over it, Yami," Mai said. "I'm sure she doesn't need your thanking to know that she was a hero."

"Yeah, we've got more important things to worry about," Mahad told him. "Like trying to convince Bakura there is no such thing as mermaids and mermen."

The two aquatic beings in hiding gasped when they heard that, and Yami's began to cough nervously.

"Yeah, what an idiot," he laughed. "Mermaids, what a child!"

Mai and Mahad brushed off the weird response from Yami, and told him to hurry up with his thoughts so they could deal with Bakura.

Yugi and Anzu appeared before Yami once the two were gone.

"Thank you," Anzu said. "For keeping our secret."

Anzu had more time to practice her speaking skills than Yugi, because she didn't have an overly protective sister watching her every move.

"You're welcome," Yami said with a smile. "It's not like a friend wouldn't cover your butts... or fins, or something."

Anzu giggled at his confusion, but Yugi stayed quiet admiring him.

Anzu looked over to him, to notice Yugi's eyes filled with something dangerous... love.

"Well, I think we should get going," Anzu told Yami. "Right Yugi."

Yugi snapped out of his trace and looked at Anzu with sad eyes.

"Yes," he answered quietly. "It's getting darker."

"Perhaps we may talk with you later," Anzu told Yami. "Good-bye."

"Bye," Yami said looking back at Yugi.

Yugi just looked at him with big, beautiful eyes.

'Wow, they have a reason to be called the beauties of the sea,' Yami thought.

Diving down, Anzu looked at Yugi with concern in her eyes.

"Yugi, you're not seriously falling for him, are you?" Anzu asked.

"I... might be," Yugi replied. "He's just so... wow."

"Yugi, I know how much we love the surface world, but I've been thinking about Kisara's story lately," she told him. "She made a mistake that cost her dearly. I just don't want that to happen to you."

Yugi saw she was on the verge of tears, and Yugi gave her a hug. "Don't worry, I won't do anything drastic like Ryou."

Anzu laughed and said, "Ryou's too much of a goodie-goodie to do anything too drastic."

"That reminds me, do you think that Bakura guy is the crush?" Yugi asked.

"Probably, let's go find him," Anzu said. "Maybe we can pressure him to give us some juicy details."

"Yeah, he'll crack under the pressure easily," Yugi laughed remembering the earlier event of Ryou spilling the beans so fast.

The two friends, happily swam around in the water, laughing and playing tag for a short while, to pass the time. It felt as though land and sea had been joined in harmony, and the two could play to their heart's content without fear of being discovered in the dark.

Finally, they bumped into their friend Ryou, who was looking up at the surface.

"Hey Ryou!" Anzu called happily approaching him. "What's up?"

"The surface world," Ryou answered still staring up.

"What's wrong?" Yugi asked.

"I guess I have the jitters," the boy replied. "What will happen when he sees me?"

"You'll never know if you don't try," Anzu told him with a smile.

Yugi helped her push Ryou up to the surface.

"Just say hi to him, and if there's a problem, dive back under, and swim as fast as you can."

"A human couldn't out swim a merman anyways," Anzu reminded him.

That confidence boost was just what Ryou needed, as he made his way towards the surface.

"Let's get going," Anzu told Yugi. "We have some more exploring to do."

"Yeah," Yugi agreed.

With one last look at their brave, but nervous friend, the two went off on their way.

---

Swimming around for a good spot to watch the humans, Anzu and Yugi found themselves getting closer and closer to the shore.

"There's a boat nearby," Anzu commented. "Let's go see who's inside."

Finding a small window on the ship, Anzu and Yugi watched what was going on.

There was a party, filled with young adults acting goofy and wild.

"Teenage humans," Anzu snorted. "What a complicated bunch."

She looked at Yugi to see why he was so quiet and saw him looking in the direction of Yami.

'This isn't good,' Anzu thought with worry.

"Hey, c'mon Yugi," she said to him. "Look at that one try to dazzle the girl."

Yugi turned to his friend with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry Anzu, but I gotta go," he said diving into the water.

Anzu sighed. "Poor Yugi, he's fallen in love and hard."

'I hope he'll be alright,' she thought with concern. 'I won't know what I'll do if something were to happen to him.'

Blushing a bit at the thought, she turned her attention back on the boat.

---

Yugi swam towards the docks where he hoped to find that lone, handsome figure once more.

When he saw Yami was still there, his heart leaped for joy.

'Maybe now we can get to know each other better,' he though hopefully.

Yami now was looking at the display of lights on shore from the big festival.

He jumped in surprise when he felt something wet touch his hand.

He turned to find Yugi giving him a big smile.

"Hey Yugi," he said smiling back. "What brings you here?"

Yugi hoisted himself out of the water and onto the dock, so he could sit next to Yami.

"Friendly talk," he answered.

"Why not," Yami shrugged. "So do you live far from here?"

"Ocean is home," Yugi told him. "I live everywhere ocean is found."

"Oh," Yami replied not knowing what to talk about with someone who lives in a completely different world than him.

"Where do you live?" Yugi asked curiously.

"Oh, that's my house right there," he pointed to a somewhat large, white house sitting on the shore. "I love the ocean, and I've always wanted to live near it since I was rescued by someone."

"Who?" Yugi asked. "What happened?"

Yami laughed at his curiosity and childlike nature.

"Well, when I was a little boy, my father took me on a boat trip around the ocean here. I accidentally dropped one of my toys and tried to reach down and grab it. Unfortunately, I fell into the sea, and began to dive down quickly. I didn't know how to swim, and my cries for help were unheard."

"What happened?" Yugi asked in suspense.

"I heard this angelic voice calling out to me," Yami explained. "I didn't understand it, but I calmed down once I heard it."

"A voice..." Yugi whispered to himself.

Yami nodded and continued. "I saw a shadowy figure swim towards me that looked like some sort of girl, and she continued to speak to me in a gentle voice. The next thing I knew, I was on the boat again, with my father fussing over me."

"Mermaid helped you?" Yugi suggested.

"I think so," Yami said. "I wish there was some way I can thank her."

"Maybe I know her," Yugi told him. "What does she look like?"

"All I remember is her voice, and that long, red hair of hers," Yami told him.

Yugi's eyes widened in shook. 'It couldn't have been...!'

"You okay?" Yami asked noticing Yugi's expression.

Embarrassed, Yugi nodded his head. "I'm fine."

"I think it's about time for the fireworks to start," Yami informed the merman.

"Fire...works?" Yugi questioned.

"They're like these colorful explosions of lights in the sky," Yami explained. "They're really beautiful."

'Probably not as beautiful as you,' Yugi though.

Just then, the fireworks began to go off, and Yugi stared in awe of their beauty.

"Wow," Yugi gasped. "It's so pretty."

"Yeah, one of the good things about being on land," Yami commented. "There's something new to experience each day."

Yugi's expression turned into a sad one, before an idea sparked his mind. "You'll teach me about humans?"

Yami was surprised at the question, but smiled at his friend. "I'd be honored to teach you. Not to mention help you out on your speaking skills."

Yugi smiled at the idea.

"I would like two things from you, however," Yami told him.

"What?" Yugi asked tilting his head.

"One, if you find the girl who saved me, thank her for me," he said. "Two, teach me about your world."

"I'd love to," Yugi said with a smile.

Yami looked back to the fireworks, and then felt something wet, but warm on his shoulder.

Looking to the source of the feeling, he saw Yugi had snuggled closer to him, and placed his head on his shoulders.

Yami smiled and wrapped an arm around the younger.

Both had forgotten about their two separate worlds.


Aww, such a cute way to end this chapter off. A little hint of Anzu's feelings towards Yugi, too. Next chapter, you'll hear Ryou's fun adventure on the shore, some more Yami, Yugi moments, and stuff like that. Until tomorrow or Monday. Ta-ta:-)
