Yay, I've completed yet another chapter! I'm so proud of myself, I think I'll go eat some ice cream or something. My cold went a couple of days ago, due to the weather being over ninety degrees most likely. I've also come up with another story while sitting on my bed yesterday! Hurray for continuous good things happening to me! I don't own Yugioh.


"This is your puzzle?" Yugi asked in astonishment.

Yami nodded his head, before touching the millennium item.

"This is the object I dropped into the ocean, when that girl saved me," Yami told him. "I was so intent on solving it, I would even risk my life for it."

Yugi frowned at the mention of Sonya, but put on a happy face and saying, "Well, I'm glad I could bring it back to you."

Yami shook his head and said, "I want you to keep it. As a token of our friendship."

Yugi blushed at the answer and asked, "You'd really give it to me?"

"Of course," Yami assured. "Besides, knowing me I's probably lose it again."

They both laughed, before Yami told him to wait for him for a few minutes.

'I'd wait an eternity for you,' Yugi thought admiring him from a far.

Looking out into the ocean, Yugi thought back to what everyone said about his love.

'I'll show them our love can prosper,' Yugi stated determinedly. 'Then they'll have more faith in love, perhaps.'

He sighed before thinking, 'I wish Sonya and Anzu could see how happy I am being around Yami. Then they'd see we're meant to be together.'

Yami came back with a genuine smile spread across his face.

"When I was suppose to complete the millennium puzzle," he explained, "I was to attach it this chain to wear around my neck."

He took the puzzle from Yugi and attached it to a thin, golden chain.

"Although it looks pretty weak, it can handle a good amount of weight," Yami assured Yugi while placing it upon the merman's neck. "There, it suits you well."

"Thank you," Yugi said timidly. "I'll always wear it and keep it close to my heart."

"That's all I can ask of you," Yami told him with a smile.

Yugi couldn't help himself, and pounced onto Yami. He was surprised by his own action, but couldn't help but embrace his love. Yugi's smile grew bigger once he felt arms wrap around him in a warm, secure hug.

"Thank you, for everything," Yugi whispered snuggling into his chest.

Yami just patted his wet, silky hair. "Thank you for being such a loyal friend."

The two stayed in each other's arms for a long time, before Yugi finally got up.

"It's just about time I should go back," he whispered.

"Promise to come back tomorrow?" Yami asked with a grin.

"Of course!" Yugi exclaimed. "I look forward to it every second."

"Glad to hear it," Yami chuckled.

With one last look at Yami, Yugi forced himself to go back where he belonged. To him, it was his prison cell.

"Good-bye, Yami!" he called out once he was in the water.

"See ya later!" Yami yelled back waving.

Although he hated going back to the ocean, the previous event made him dance around happily.

Heck, every time he came back after being around Yami made him want to dance. This time, however, he had received a gift of love.

Holding the puzzled close to his heart, Yugi began to daydream of him and Yami being on the surface together.

He was getting so into it, he didn't notice Ryou, who was in the same state of mind as him.

They both bumped into each other and laughed when they noticed each other.

"Hey Yugi," Ryou greeted with a smile. "I was looking for you."

"You were?" Yugi asked laughing still holding onto his puzzle. "Well, it looks like you found me."

They continued to be giggly and childish, until Ryou killed it.

"I figured out how we can be with our crushes," Ryou grinned.

"How?"Yugi asked with interest and a smile.

"Magic from a sea warlock," Ryou answered cutely.

Yugi wasn't so smiley anymore, though. "A warlock?"

Ryou grew serious, too. "Yeah, they offered me to come."

"Ryou, this could be dangerous," Yugi warned.

"I know, but it's all in the name of love," Ryou stated. "I'd do anything to be with Bakura for the rest of my life."

"I thought he was a jerk," Yugi said puzzled.

"He is at first, but once you get to know him he has a fuzzy, warm center," Ryou explained.

Yugi gave him an unconvinced look.

"Okay, maybe not fuzzy and warm, but he's not a complete barbarian," Ryou corrected. "So what do you say."

"I-I'm not sure," Yugi admitted. "It sounds great, but I need some time to think."

"Alright, I'll meet you tomorrow at the coral reef community early tomorrow morning, okay?" Ryou explained.

"Alright, I'll see you then," Yugi confirmed.

"See ya then, Yugi," Ryou said swimming off.

"Bye, Ryou!"

'Wow, I have a chance be with my beloved Yami,' Yugi thought. 'Will I risk everything just as Kisara did, only to result in heartbreak?'

He shook his head, scolding himself of thinking so poorly about his Yami.

'He wouldn't break my heart,' Yugi assured himself. 'We know each other, unlike Kisara and Seto. Our love will flourish!'

He looked at his puzzle and held it close to his heart like he had promised a few moments earlier with Yami.

"It would be wonderful to be by your side though" Yugi said. "You could show me all you know of the world up above."

Thinking back, Yugi said, "You could teach me how to dance, or take me out to one of those restaurants."

Yugi started to absentmindedly dance with the puzzle, pretending it was Yami.

"My Yami, I never knew you were so good at doing the waltz," Yugi laughed. "What a gentleman you are."

Continuing to dance in his own little world, Yugi didn't notice the pair of eyes watching him with interest.

"Oh Yami," Yugi giggled. "You shouldn't be saying such naughty words. Afterall, that wouldn't be very mature of you, my prince."

He brought puzzle up to his face, before slowly pushing it back. "Now, now, let's not be to hasty."

Looking at it he smiled before saying, "Alright, just this once."

He brought it back up to his face, and placed his soft, warm lips onto the cool golden item, kissing it passionately.

"Yugi!" a voice cried startling him.

"Sonya!" he yelped. "What-huh-It isn't what it looks like!"

"I can't believe you," she yelled. "How could you fall for him so hard!? I thought you were smarter than this!"

"Yam is a good person-"

"I don't care!" she screamed. "He's a human, you're a merman! They don't go together!"

"But I love him!" Yugi blurted out by accident.

That was the last straw for Sonya, as Yugi covered his mouth his his hand.

"I-I didn't completely mean that," Yugi tried to cover. "It just slipped."

She swam over to him and growled, "After all I've done for you, you're gonna throw your life away for some human you barely know?"

"I-I love him," Yugi whispered. "And that should be enough for you!"

She looked down at the puzzled and hissed, "I recognize that pyramid. He gave it to you."

"Sonya, please don't!" Yugi cried in vain.

It was too late, as she ripped it off his neck in blind fury and threw it as hard as she could against a nearby rock. It shattered to pieces, as did Yugi's heart.

The two siblings just glared at each for a few minutes, before Yugi burst into tears.

"How could you?" he sobbed. "You don't even know him!"

He swam away in tears, as Sonya stood her ground.

Once he was out of site, she broke down to tears herself.

'My little Yugi,' she sighed. 'What a horrid curse this love is.'

"You don't even know him!"

That outburst echoed fresh in her mind.

"I think it's about time I have a little reunion," she told herself swimming off.


(Sniffle) She broke the puzzle. Oh well, I'm the one who wrote it, so why complain? I have a question, by the way. What do people mean when they call an OC a 'Mary Sue?' I never heard of it before, and I just started writing like, three months ago or something. Anyone care to explain? Anyways, please review cause it gives me a purpose to write:-)
