Author's Note: Hey, I'm back! Um, well. Here's chapter two. For a poll: Which interaction do you want to see second? I know I'm gunna have my Proofshipping girls first, but who next?
Disclaimer: I do not own YuGiOh or any of its characters.
Claimer: Nicole, Gianna, Jezebel, and Sibella are mine.
Oh, and I know the name things can get confusing, so if I haven't mentioned this before: Bakura is the yami (merman), Ryou is the hikari(human), Marik is the yami(merman), Malik is the hikari(human), Atem is the yami(merman), Yugi is the hikari(human)
Oh, and just so you know, the standard for the female mermaids is that the clam shells are a lighter shade of their tail.
Chapter 2
"You see that sunset, Mokuba. Humans find it real romantic. That's why so many people get married around here," Jezebel said, laying on a big rock, her silver tail halfway in the water, long, curly blue-black hair tied in white pearls behind her, and green eyes looking up at the pink sky.
"Wow, Jezebel, you really know a lot about humans," Mokuba replied, sitting on the small rock beside her, his light blue tail completely in the water.
"Well, I research them. I try to observe them every time I can, and see their day-to-day activities."
"Did you ever talk to one?"
"No," she shook her head, "but I want to. I can't wait to finally meet one, and learn from their point of view what life is all about."
"Mokie! There you are!" The two merpeople looked over to where the voice had come from, to see an angry mermaid with a red tail and clam shells, brown hair stuck to her face and blue-green eyes narrowed. "Seto is looking everywhere for you!"
"Sibella!" Mokuba yelled, jumping into the water and swimming to hug his sister.
"Mokie, go back home, I need to talk to Jezebel. You think you can make it there on your own?"
"Yeah, I'm not a baby," he said, swimming off.
When he was out of earshot, Sibella turned to her best friend. "Are you crazy? It's bad enough you come to the shore, you don't have to drag my brother up here, too." She grabbed Jezebel's hand and started descending to their underwater city.
"Relax, I hadn't planned on bringing the kid up with me," Jezebel said, nervously adjusting her white clam shells. "He saw me coming up to get a tan and wanted to follow me. You and Seto keep that kid locked up in the city too much. He just wanted to have a little fun."
"It's not up to you to decide what kind of fun my baby brother should have. Did you even think of what would happen if Seto were to find out?"
"If Seto were to find out what?" Both girls gasped, looking up to see Mai looking at them.
"Jezebel went up to the surface again?" Ishizu asked, floating up next to her.
"Yes, and this time she dragged Mokie up there," Sibella glared at her best friend, who raised her hands in defense.
"He asked me to come up!"
"You could've said no!"
"What's the big deal, Sibella?" Jezebel asked.
"The big deal is that I don't want to see my brother angry. You know how protective he can be."
"Don't worry, about it, hon," Mai interrupted their fight. "You're brother's never gunna find out!"
"Mai, I think its best to tell Seto that Mokuba went to the surface," Ishizu countered. "He's going to find out sooner or later, and if he doesn't hear it from us, and finds out we all knew, he'll be angrier at us."
"C'mon Ishizu, us girls have to stick together. Don't think of it as 'lying to Seto.' Think of it as 'helping our girls out.'" Mai playfully hit her purple tail against Ishizu's gold one, laughing as she swam off, Ishizu chasing her. Jezebel and Sibella smiled and swam after them. Over three-thousand years (1) of living together, they had formed a tight group, and Mai and Ishizu were the two oldest, and took the responsibility of looking out for the rest of them. Mai usually just wanted them to have fun, while Ishizu was more of the conscience of the group.
They swam to the city, looking for the males in their group, but stopped short when they heard a distinctive yelling.
"She took you where?!"
1 - Okay, a lot to say here. First, I researched it and Atlantis was said to have sunk in 10,000 BC. But, I wanted to make the concept of the merpeople being immortal (it has to do with the story) and living for over 12,000 years makes them seem too old. Ha, so I decided, Atlantis has sunk in 1,000 BC. And the reason they are immortal (I'm not just making them immortal for the heck of it) is because when Poseidon transformed them into sea creatures, he unknowingly gave them some of his immortality. HOWEVER, they are not completely immortal. They can not grow old, so their bodies stay forever the age they were when Atlantis sank (which depending on these characters ranges from 12-24. If you want specific ages, ask.) But, they can die from an attack, being out of water too long (they have gills, not lungs), poisoning, etc. If you have questions, feel free to ask.
First: This was supposed to be longer, but my brain shut off and I felt bad for leaving you hanging. So, hopefully I'll update again soon. The next chapter will probably continue where this was left off.
Now: I'd like to thank those who reviewed, put me/my story on alert, put me/my story in their favorites, etc. You guys are great. This is for you!
