Hello everyone! I'm still sick, but that doesn't mean I can't write up the next chapter, right? Sorry that it's so short. The next one will be much longer, believe me! I don't own Yugioh. By the way, after you read this chapter, I'll tell you how much longer this story is gonna be, so check it out of you want.

Yugi swam as fast as his tail could get him.

'She doesn't get that Yami is different,' Yugi thought. 'This isn't Kisara's tragic love story, it's my blossoming love story!'

He swam off towards two figures he identified as Anzu and Ryou.

"Hey Yugi," Anzu greeted with a smile. "Wasn't yesterday great!"

Yugi's smile grew at the mention of that magical day. "It was the greatest."

"Yeah I know!" Ryou burst out. "I had the most exciting, thrillingly breath taking, and stupendous night!"

"What happened anyways, Ryou?" Yugi asked.

"Yeah did you and Bakura finally confess your love?" Anzu teased.

"How'd you find out 'Kura's name?"

"There was gossip about him on the shore," Yugi told him. "They think he's crazy."

"Well, he's not," Ryou told them frowning. "He's nice once you get to know him."

"So what happened?" Anzu asked anxiously.

Flashback

"Alright, be brave," Ryou told himself. "Be bold!"

He slowly popped his head from out of the water and looked around cautiously.

'Where is he?' Ryou thought in disappointment.

"Ah ha!" a gruff voice yelled out scaring Ryou out of hi wits. "I knew you were real!"

Ryou turned around to see his evil looking twin smirking at him.

"Uhh, hi?" Ryou said waving at the human.

"Everyone thinks my brain is fucked up, but here you are," Bakura laughed maniacally. "Now to capture you!"

"Ahh!" Ryou dived back into th water, as Bakura plunged into the water.

Bakura, being the money hungry idiot that he was, went head first into freezing cold water.

Ryou couldn't burst out laughing, if he wasn't so scared.

"Where the hell did you go?!" Bakura called out before swearing about the cold. "God dammit, I lost the bastard already."

'He certainly doesn't know what manners are,' Ryou thought to himself. 'Why am I hiding from him, anyways? I could easily out swim him, and I doubt he could actually capture me.'

Apprehensively, Ryou swam up to the angry, miserable human.

Bakura noticed him and tried to grab the merman. "Get over here, you bastard!"

'I wonder how he would carry me on shore,' Ryou thought.

Since the question was bugging him, Ryou went up closer to Bakura, who took the opportunity to grab him.

Once he did, both of the albino haired boys began to sink, not that Ryou cared.

Bakura, however, grew more pissed by the second and decided to let go of his cash ticket so he could live.

Ryou followed him on the way up, just in case Bakura got tired or something.

Once they surfaced, Bakura muttered, "You just wanna torture me, you sick bastard."

Ryou knew even less about the human language than Yugi, but by the tone of voice, Ryou could tell Bakura wasn't as fond of him as himself.

He was wrong, though. Although Bakura wasn't one who wants to share his feelings often, he still had them.

"Bas-tard?" Ryou repeated finally.

"What?" Bakura spat out.

"Bastard," Ryou said again.

Bakura just stared at the strange creature before smirking.

"Looks like you don't know much about humans," Bakura commented. "I guess I could teach you a thing or two about us."

Flashback Ends

"After that, he just taught me a few human words, and I think he asked me to come back later tonight," Ryou concluded with a smile.

"Some love attraction you got building there," Anzu joked.

"Well, at least I found someone who cares...kinda," Ryou argued.

While the two began to bicker with one another, looked down at the sea floor in sadness.

'I'm glad at least one of us found someone they would stick up for,' Yugi thought sadly.

He then noticed something sparkle at him in the sand.

Curiosity got the best of him, and Yugi swam down to examine the shiny object.

Anzu and Ryou were too into their argument to notice their small companion missing.

Yugi was shocked to see the item before him.

'It's that golden puzzle box Anzu gave me!' he thought in amazement. 'Maybe this is a sign.'

He opened up the box, to find all sorts of golden puzzle pieces.

Yugi sat down on the sand and began to assemble it as fast as he could.

'The sooner I complete it, the sooner I can make a wish,' he thought determinedly.

Sonya had told him that if you ever complete a puzzle, you could make a wish. Maybe it would come true, maybe not.

Yugi was willing to try, thought. Besides, this puzzle looked magical.

By now Ryou and Anzu noticed Yugi was sitting down on the floor.

"Yugi, what are you doing?" Anzu asked swimming towards him.

"I'm completing the puzzle you gave me," he answered not bothering to look up at her. "The sooner I complete it, the sooner I can wish to be with Yami."

"Yugi, you know it's dangerous," Anzu said with worry in her voice.

"I thought you were into the surface world as much as Yugi," Ryou said confused.

"I was, but hearing Kisara's story made me grateful for what we have down here," she told them. "Please Yugi, you may be making a mistake."

That's when Yugi grabbed the puzzle and the box and began to swim off.

"I'm tired of people scolding me like a child," he told them. "I found someone who loves me as I love him. Why can't you be happy for me?!"

"Because I don't want to lose you!" Anzu cried. "You mean so much to us, Yugi. I don't know what we- I would do if I lost you!"

Anzu swam away in tears after yelling at him.

Yugi realized she had stronger feelings for him than he thought.

"Maybe you should listen to Anzu," Ryou suggested quietly. "We don't really know what we're getting into."

"Ryou, we love them," Yugi whispered. "Wouldn't you want to keep that love strong?"

Ryou just shrugged sadly, and also swam off, leaving Yugi alone to work on the puzzle.

It took nearly half the day to complete it, but when he did, Yugi beamed with pride.

"Wait until I show Yami," he said to himself swimming towards the docks.

He saw the familiar tri-colored hair, and distant crimson eyes.

Yugi leaped out of the water in front of his crush, and dove back down in an enchanting display.

Yami just smiled when the young merman appeared before him.

"Nice trick," Yami commented. "I'm glad to see you, too."

Yugi had told him whenever mermen or mermaids did that, they were extremely over joyed.

Yami could only assume it was because they would spend some time together.

"Guess what Yami," Yugi said excitedly.

"What?"

"I completed this puzzle I found today!" he exclaimed showing off the gold puzzle pyramid in his hands.

Dun, dun, duuunnn! Isn't that a little surprising twist? Nothing major, but still something. Anywho, I plan to make at least five more chapters before this story comes to a close, and hopefully the writer's block for my other stories comes to an end. That's partly the reason why I wrote this fic. I wanted something to write, but I have the worst writer's block imaginable. The other reason I'm writing this is because I'm obsessed with mermaids right now. That's about all I have to say for now. I'll be sure to update tomorrow:-)
