Chapter 2

October 6, 2007

It was hard waiting for midnight to come that night. Especially since her family decided to keep and extra careful watch on her. There was a witches storm that night. you and Duo were worried that it would cause a delay in their departure. It ended minutes before midnight. Youko swam around Duo, laughing and giggling like she was ten years younger. Duo was just happy to see her that happy as well.

As they made their way to the surface, Youko saw a black shadow far above them. Her curiosity getting the better of her, and dragging Duo's curiosity along too, She swam faster than before just to see what had made that huge shadow. A bright flash and a feel of a thundering boom shocked the two just before they broke out of the water. Another bright flash and a flash of red that looked like an anemone was briefly seen by both of them. The book that followed after made the two dive back under the water for a short time. They swam to a nearby rock and just sat and watched the flashes of light and booming noises.

Amazed by the lights and sounds they almost forgot about the moon and the wind until a strong gust a wind breathed across the two. Youko shivered. The wind was caressing her skin, and at the same time it had such a sorrowful melody to it, as it blew across her face. The sorrowful melody made her look up at the sky. Thousand of twinkling lights stared back at her, as well as a large pale circle in the sky issuing forth a soft luminous light that bathed their pale skins. Duo sighed in happiness. Sure it had been longer than five minutes, but he was hardly thinking about that. The wind and the moon was so relaxing and melodious, that he felt like he was in heaven.

Another flash of red light went off and this time they saw a ship! Oh it almost paled in comparison to the ships they had seen on the floor far beneath them, but then again, maybe it floating across the water with some sort of music echoing forth from it made a difference. The two gave each other a daring grin and started racing toward the ship. Duo won, having more endurance and more strength than the youngest princess.

Youko found a rope to pull herself up near the deck, Duo followed. There were two-leggers dancing! It was absolutely amazing and intoxicating, at the same time. To both the mer-folk it looked like a hypnotizing mating dance, but still it was lovely.

"Wow! amazing! So these are humans. Who would have thought they looked like that!" Youko whispered in amazement.

"Yeah! Look at their faces! See the on that looks like stone statue? He is.." he never got to finish his sentence as suddenly a large four legged creature decided to give him a french-kiss. Youko was laughing. She knew her friend's preferences was more towards the male end of the species, but the creature suddenly deciding to attack him like that, was funny. Especially since Duo had turned the most amazing shade of green mixed with red.

The creature was suddenly called away with a whistle and Duo was sputtering. "Th-That was m-my FIRST kiss!" This only made Youko laugh harder. She had to dive under the water again so her voice wouldn't carry onto the ship. When she could control herself she went back up to watch the humans dance some more.

"Duo!" she suddenly hissed in excitement. "The blond one! the one with sea colored eyes! Oh Duo! he – he is gorgeous!"

Duo looked over the crowd and saw who she was talking about. It was too bad that she saw him first. The blond was standing next to Mr. statue and two others. The ones next to him looked just as delicious to him. One had jet black hair and looked more dark than his companions, and the other had a weird freaky hair thing going on. He had to admit it looked cool. As he watched them closer he noticed the looks between Mr. black hair and Mr. weird hair, well they were taken with each other, the way Jet-Black kept stealing glances at Weird-Hair and vice versa.

"Yeah sis, Look we have spent enough time on surface lets go before the storm hits." he said as he sniffed the air.

"Storm?? Wha-" she paused noticing the odd smell in the air and some darker clouds coming in suddenly. "Duo! Lets watch them from a distance a bit more...Please?" she begged, making her eyes turn soft and tearing them up, knowing that Duo could never resist them. He gave in. They made their way back to the rocks they had been watching from earlier When the storm suddenly hit.

The sky was filled with rain that stung, and loud cracking thunder and long branch-like lightning. It was amazing to watch and both Youko and Duo got a rush, just watching on their rock. Until they saw on of the branches hit the tall pole. There was a loud CRACK sound and a loud BOOM at the same time. The pole was burning like crazy. It suddenly fell over and crashed on the the deck where the humans had been dancing.

Pieces of wood from the railing was flung into the sea and, there was screaming and yelling. It was utter chaos. Youko gave Duo a worried look, and he returned the look. They both dived into the sea and rushed back towards the ship they had just left not an hour ago.

By the time they got there the creatures were yelling for five names. There was a splash and only four names being called out. Two more splashes were heard and only two names were left. They were yelling for Quatre and Wufei. There was a Loud explosion and tons of red flashed and loud booming going off. The Duo and Yuoko dived under the water to avoid the noise and the falling debris. Suddenly there was no ship! It was all in pieces and falling from the sky. The two rushed to the surface to see if they could find the two that the two-leggers were looking for. Looking all around them and occasionally diving under the water yielded nothing.

Duo saw a hand suddenly slip under the water and rushed to save whichever the hand belonged too. Diving down quickly to save the two-legger. Duo had no problem brining him up to the surface, but had a problem keeping him up. It seemed this thuman had a rock heavy bottom. At the same time, Youko saw a glimpse of blond before it disappeared under the water as well. She rushed to get to him before he sunk too deep. Pulling him back to the surface had been an ordeal for her. Keeping him up had been no problem for as soon as they reached the surface he floated.

They both swam towards the nearest shore, feeling the pulls of the tides of the waters on their bodies. It took them many hours to get there with the extra weight of the two-leggers, an the sun was rising in to a lovely dawn. Youko reached the shore first, seeing on how she had the more cooperative passenger. She waited in the shallow watter for Duo to bring his passenger. When they puled the two, two-leggers, so both were laying on sand only did they sit on the uncomfortable surface, that was beginning to itch their fins, and rest for a moment.

Yuoko sighed in relief, both the passengers were breathing and she started humming. It was a soft tune filled with joy and of happiness, The sorrows and fear of loosing, and at the same time relief. That tune was exactly how she was feeling. After catching just a few notes, Duo joined in. His baritone complimenting her sweet soprano voice. They just sat there, enduring the warming of the sand as well as the increasing itchiness.

They sat and hummed for a long time until voices were heard. Yuoko and Duo scrambled to get back into the sweet coolness of the water. They had just reached past the shallow water when a Group of ladies found the boys on the shore. They quickly gathering their wits and took the boys back into their building. It had a giant cross on it and was almost a pure white color.

Youko was happy that the humans were safe and sound... But she was dreading on going home. By this time they were sure to be having breakfast, and missing their youngest daughter. Duo and Youko swam as fast as they could to get back to the Palace before they sent out the Royal Army to find them.

The two ran into her sisters first. Her sisters promised to help them get out of trouble...IF they told them what had happened and where they were. Youko gave Duo a look and took a deep breath.

"Now BEFORE you all flip and shout at Duo, I was the one that dragged him into this mess." she got her sister to nod. " Now I will tell you AFTER you help me and Duo out...I don't want Daddy and Gran getting mad at you if you know where we were at before they scold me royally for being late..." her sister promised.

Her sister pushed both her and Duo in their closet with the leftovers and new bits of the 'monster' piled on top of them. with a strict order to 'sleep' the sisters locked her and Duo in the closet. after about half and hour the doors were suddenly flung open and both Youko and Duo didn't have to pretend to rub their eyes in surprise. The King and Gran both hovered there looking a bit miffed and relieved at the same time.

"Daddy? what's wrong? I was sleeping." Youko said in a childish, yet tired voice. The king swept her up in a big hug.

"When you didn't show up for breakfast with the bottomless pit, We figured something was wrong... Your sisters claim to have seen you enter their dressing room last night and didn't see you come out... And by the looks of things you were planning another 'monster'." he stated worriedly. Yuoko gave him a big hug.

"Yes Daddy, me and Duo got locked in here by accident and fell asleep...it would have never occurred to you to check their dressing room since I have my own...I am sorry for making you and Gran worry like that." she said very apologetically, having gotten the idea.

After that, her father treated them to a second breakfast, were only Duo and Youko ate, while the others just nibbled for courtesy . After that Youko's father gave them the rules on pranking...again and let them off to wander the castle. The two entered her Sister's dressing Room and saw that all her sister's had gathered there...

You took another deep breath. Ready to explain to them.

"Duo and I went to the surface." she said simply.

"WHAT! -Why!" they all shouted.

"You all got your Pearls when you were fifteen... I STILL haven't received mine. I am eighteen now... With you all talking about the surface constantly I wanted to see what it was like... And Duo will receive his pearl when I receive mine. It is not fair to both of us that because I am the youngest that Gran holds me back, so I can be the kid forever in their eyes." she stated. She got a murmur of surprise in response...

They hadn't realized their sister was that old. They also just realized that they had been bragging to her about the surface constantly ever since the oldest had gotten hers twelve years ago. Each looked down to at their tail-fin in shame.

"Well that wasn't all that happened. When we reached the surface, they were having some sort of mating dance...Although no mating was done...At least I don't think any was done. but It was amazing to watch." She continued on about the celebration she saw and about the males that had caught both her's and Duo's attention. Each describing the one they saw and the one's that stayed near them. " Then a storm came out of nowhere! We slipped back to the rocks and just watched the storm! It was such a rush! Then a stroke of lightning hit the ship-" she said as she went ahead and described the rescue of the two-leggers. "You see sisters. We not only broke the rule about surfacing but we broke the rule about meeting land dwellers." she said calmly.

The sisters each realized something as they described the men. The two in front of them were in it deep...and they didn't know how deep yet.
