Alverna: Here is the long awaited Chapter 6.

Sorry it's so short.

I own nada. Enjoy.

Chapter 6: The Second Item

Back in Kehmet, merfolk were screaming as manta sharks and royal guard duel monsters came after them.

"You can't do this!" One merman protested to Aknadin as he was pushed towards a shadow realm rift that Aknadin had made with his Millennium Eye. "I've done nothing wrong!"

"Oh, can't I?" Aknadin questioned. "Push him in."

"NO!" the man screamed as he was pushed through the rift and into the dungeons a few minutes later, severely weakened by shadow realm exposure.

A few miles away, the person Aknadin was looking for was staring at a huge tube of swirling water.

"That's it." Ryou said. "I've also checked the rock formations. The horse and bear are to our left, but there's a boat of people over there so we can't get any closer."

"We've never been inside." Joey said as he watched the water swirl around. "It's very strong."

"That's okay." Yami said studying the fast moving water. "How am I supposed to get in there? And how do we even know if the Dreamfish are in there?"

Hikari chirped and swam forward.

"Hikari!" Joey gasped as the pup dove into the current.

Everyone watched as the small bundle was spun around, and round, and round, until being shot out of the current and into a large shell sticking up out of the sand. Hikari looked down bashfully, and a bit disappointed.

"Well, not that way." Malik smiled. "But good try though."

"Yami, what are you doing?" Yugi asked.

But Yami didn't answer. He just swam closer to the shell Hikari had just bumped into. Its size greatly resembled a wakeboard. Remembering the dare Marik had set himself and Bakura on, as well as the outcome, he grabbed the shell and swam back towards the current.

"Why swim," Yami paused to pull off his tail, "when you can strip?"

(A/N: Not that way! Remember he has the bottom of his wetsuit on. Geez, ya perverts)

Kicking himself up next to the current, Yami took a deep breath, and plunged in.

"Ah!" Yami yelled as he lost the grip on his shell board. Reaching out and kicking gently, over kicking might send him out of the current like Hikari, Yami slowly inched closer until he grabbed the board, and pulled it underneath him.

"Whoa!" Yami yelped as he went round the current a few times, until he could control the board on the current, as well as himself. It really was a lot like surfing, only on a wakeboard sized board. Standing up carefully, Yami looked outside of the current to see his friends watching anxiously. Seeing him wave, they all grinned and swam towards his right.

Whooping, Yami followed until he reached a glow. Looking closer, he realized they were…

"Dreamfish." Yami studied them and remembered Joey's words.

"If you impress one and gain its loyalty, it will offer you you're greatest desire."

"Impress them, eh?" Yami muttered. "Bet they've never seen a surfer before."

After a series of tricks Yami stopped and looked up at them.

"Okay." Yami panted softly. "Anyone impressed and feeling loyal?"

None of the Dreamfish moved.

"Okay." Yami thought hard, and went with his last idea. "Here goes nothing."

Racing down the current, Yami looped inside the tunnel and shot out on his own accord, floating down next to his friends.

"That was amazing." Malik grinned as he handed Yami his tail back.

"Did you get one?" Joey asked as he looked at the tunnel of water. Turning back Yami looked as well. After scanning the tunnel up and down, he felt his shoulders sag.

"I guess not."

"I'm so sorry Yami." Yugi came up next to him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Thanks Yugi." Yami gave a small smile to his look alike.

Hikari then let out a chirp and pointed back towards the tunnel, causing Ryou, Malik, and Joey to gasp. Yami and Yugi turned back and gasped as well. Swimming towards them, was a young Dreamfish, which stopped in front of Yami.

"That was incredible." The Dreamfish grinned. "Call me when you need me, and I'll be there." And then he swam back into the current, where his friends and family were waiting.

"You did it!" Yugi cheered and hugged Yami, who grinned and hugged back.

"I did." Yami cheered along.

"Now all we have to do is get Aknadin's protective necklace." Malik reminded them. "Piece of kelp."

"How are we going to do that?" Yami asked with one arm still around Yugi. "We're going to need to get really close him."

"You can't get close to him unless you're one of his high priests," Joey groaned. "And we know that Seto won't do it, or your one of the royal guards."

"Or you're called upon to prove your loyalty and devotion to him." Ryou added.

"I think I have an idea." Yami said.

"What is it?" Yugi asked.

"You'll see little one." Yami grinned. "When's the next Aknadin Festival?"

"This evening." Malik replied. "In a few hours."

"Good." Atemu nodded. "We're going to need the DeepSea3 Player for my idea. Now, I only have one other question. Can you dance?"

"Huh?"
