Well, here's chapter seven for you all. It only took like three hours to write, before my brain went dead. Oh, and I have an important announcement to make after this chapter, so be sure to read the thing I wrote on the bottom, okay? I don't own Yugioh.

Yugi sped off to where he was suppose to meet Ryou.

'I know it's early,' Yugi thought. 'But I'd go anywhere to get away from her.'

He stopped by the coral reef community and tried to stop his tears from flowing.

'I can't believe she broke it!' Yugi bitterly thought. 'I can understand her resentment on me being in love, but she didn't have to destroy my...our puzzle.'

Looking off into the distance, he saw Anzu swimming slowly with pearly tears dropping down her smooth, flawless skin as well.

'Why's she crying?' Yugi thought with worry.

"Anzu?" he called out. "What's wrong?"

Anzu recognized Yugi's voice and swam over to him quickly.

"Yugi, Ryou told me about your plan to see that warlock," she explained wiping her tears away. "Why would you risk it?"

"For love," Yugi replied sternly. "We belong together, Anzu."

"How do you know?" Anzu demanded. "You could be heading into danger."

Yugi was getting really tired of all this 'too dangerous' crap and decided to make it clear.

"Because we love each other!" he snapped. "What do I have to do to make everyone understand that!"

"We care about you Yugi," Anzu replied quietly. "I just don't want you to get hurt."

Yugi's anger quickly dissolved away, and he gave her a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry about me," he comforted. "We've always had dangerous adventures like this. Why don't you come along with us?"

Anzu shook her head sadly. "I belong here, Yugi. We're mystical creatures of the deep, not the shore."

"Are you sure?" Yugi asked heartbroken. "I'd love it if you would come."

"I just can't," she whispered. "But I'll never forget you, and I hope you won't forget us."

"How could I?" Yugi asked. "You're my best and most trusted friend."

"Hey Yugi!" Ryou called swimming as fast as he could. "What are you doing here so earlier?"

When Ryou got there, he looked nervous, but somewhat confident.

"I should be asking you the same thing," Yugi answered.

"I guess I got a bit... antsy," Ryou replied. "Hey Anzu, are you coming along, too?"

"I'm gonna stay here," she told him. "I belong here, after all."

"Sad to hear it," he said frowning. "How about you, Yugi?"

Yugi was silent for a few minutes looking at Ryou's longing, chestnut eyes, and then Anzu's sad, desperate sapphire ones.

"I'm... gonna do it," he answered finally.

Ryou smiled, but Anzu's dismay was grew noticeable, as she began to sob again.

"Oh Anzu," Ryou quietly said. "We'll never forget you."

"No, never," Yugi added hugging her.

Ryou joined in on the group hug.

"I understand... you have to... follow your hearts," Anzu said in between tears. "But I'll... always think... of you two."

"We'll always think of you, too," Yugi said hugging tighter.

They stayed like that for a minute or so, before breaking apart.

"You think that the sea warlock would mind if we were a bit early?" Yugi asked his albino friend.

"Nope."

Right before they started to swim off, Anzu yelled, "Wait!"

She swam over to them, and gave them each a seashell bracelet.

"This way, we'll always remember our friendship," she explained. "And you'll also remember where you came from."

They smiled at Anzu, before she kissed Ryou on the cheek, but Yugi got a quick peck on the lips.

She swam away fast, tears flowing behind her.

"You sure you want to go through with this," Ryou asked looked at his blushing friend.

"I'm sure."

Sonya swam around the sea anxiously.

'What if he doesn't remember me?' she thought nervously. 'Then again, will I be able to go on the surface world after more than ten years avoiding it?'

She remembered that Yugi told her that Yami was by the docks, and currently, she was right below them.

'I'll drop by, say hi, get some information out of him, then disappear for good,' she planned. 'Who am I kidding? Plans never work out the way you want them to!'

That's when she heard someone talking above her.

'That must be him,' she thought. 'What's he saying?'

Slowly, she went up higher, until she broke to the surface, and went up high enough for her eyes to be exposed.

Looking around, she noticed some things changed since she was last up there.

There were many more houses by the ocean, and a huge Kaiba Corp building had been built close by, too. There were still many boats sailing about the water, and cute father-son fishing trips, too. She always liked the way the two bonded.

Family was a great thing to have, and she would help anyone to keep their family complete. That was why she had saved Yami when he was younger. She was intrigued by how close he was to his father and rescued him to make sure they stayed together.

'Speaking of Yami,' she thought turning her attention to the docks.

There, her emerald eyes met with spiky wild hair, and a lone figure looking out into the sparkling sea.

'My has he grown up,' Sonya thought. 'No wonder Yugi likes him so much!'

Making her last decision on whether to go or not, Sonya reminded herself about Yugi and swam slowly over to Yami.

As she swam closer, she heard him talking.

"It's been a long time since I saw you," his deep voice commented. "I'm hoping someday I could meet you. I think Yugi might know you, and I hope he delivered my message to you."

"He did," she spoke out.

Yami jumped at the sound of the familiar voice.

He looked down at the red haired mermaid and gasped. "I-it's you!"

"Wow, you've grown into some young man," she complimented. "I can still remember you as a small child, though."

"I can't believe it's you!" he cried out. "How did you-"

"Yugi told me," Sonya reminded him. "I thought I would drop by for a visit."

Yami smiled at the mention of the young merman's name. "That was nice... no, generous of him."

Sonya smiled at his gratitude to see her. "I'm glad to see you don't fear the ocean."

"I could never," Yami said shaking his head. "I feel too connected to it."

"It is quite a beauty, huh?" she replied looking off into the distance.

"I wanted to thank you," he finally blurted out. "For rescuing me."

"Your welcome, Yami," she said with a smile. "You looked like you needed some help."

Yami chuckled a bit before asking, "Do you know where Yugi found my puzzle?"

A pang of guilt went through Yami''s heart at the mention of the golden item.

"His friend gave it to him, I think," she answered.

"I feel a bit silly, but I lost it again in the sea," he told her. "At least, that's what I tell people."

"What do you mean by that?" Sonya asked curiously.

"I was hoping that perhaps you would find it, and then have a clue that I'm still alright," he explained with a blush. "Or perhaps a thank you gift, kind of thing."

Boy was that a slap in the face for someone who just busted it into a million pieces.

"Why'd you give it to Yugi?" she asked. "If it was my gift, why place it upon his neck."

"For two reasons," Yami answered. "One, I was hoping you would see it, and it would spark back any memories of me."

The torture just kept coming to Sonya.

"Two, I wanted Yugi to have it as a token of our strong friendship," he summed up. "He's one of my most special friend, after all. He did save me, like you did all those years ago."

"Must be a family thing," Sonya laughed. "Yugi's my younger brother."

"Really?" Yami asked surprised. "He never really mentioned you."

"We haven't been going off very well towards each other, lately," she explained. "It's mostly my fault though. I'm a bit of the short tempered, overly protective type."

"Oh, well I'm sure you'll be alright," Yami comforted. "Yugi's a nice kid."

Sonya was surprised at Yami's thoughts of Yugi.

Before she could asked anything, Yami beat her to the punch. "You know, I never got to know your name, or how you learned how to talk so fluently."

"Well, when I was younger, I was the rebellious dreamer like Yugi is now," she explained. "So I would always sneak out with my friend, Jounouchi, and we would learn all sorts of things about the surface world."

"Jounouchi?" Yami asked surprised. "But he's a human."

"But he was merman at one time," she told him. "He kinda got caught up on love and found out a way to become human."

"Mai..." Yami whispered.

"Hmm?"

"Mai Valentine," Yami told her. "She was the girl Jou would always chase after."

Sonya nodded her head. "Yep, he was in mad love with her, and traded off his old life for her."

Yami saw the sadness in her eyes and placed a warm hand on her shoulder. "At least he found happiness, right?"

"Yeah," Sonya said with a smile. "By the way, my name is Sonya."

"Sonya," Yami repeated smiling.

'I can't believe I told a human my name!' she yelled out in her mind. 'Yami does seem like a good boy, though.'

"Hey, Yami?" she asked.

"Yeah, Sonya?"

"Going back to Yugi for a moment," she said. "Do you... love him?"

Yami looked into her anxious eyes, before sighing.

She couldn't read the emotion on his face, or the tone in his voice.

"Sonya, there's something I've got to tell you."

---

"Here we are, Yugi," Ryou informed his friend once they were near a dark, spooky cavern.

There were all sorts of carnivorous fish swimming around, and most of them didn't look very friendly.

"It's kinda creepy down here," Yugi said shivering. "Don't you think?"

Before Ryou could answer, a voice echoed, "That's what makes it a perfect lair for a dark warlock!"

Wow, two cliffhangers in one chapter! What will Yami announce, who is the warlock I have chosen (not pegasus, cause everyone uses him!). Now, the important thingy I have to tell you is that I will be on vacation for a week, starting tomorrow. So, being the evil person that I am, I'll leave you in suspense for a week. That doesn't mean you can't review and tell me how cruel I am, so go ahead and review!! When I come back, hopefully I'll come back to a bunch of reviews. That would be cool. Anywho, see you next week:-)
