Chapter Five
Yami's heart skipped a beat as his blood eyes stayed locked with the human girl's gems of sapphire. Never had he been so entranced by any female creature. In her shimmering eyes, he glimpsed so many details about her...things to which he could relate. He saw kindness that belied a feisty flare, as well as impressive bravery. He could also sense a longing for adventure...a desire that called to his own heart. The prince wanted to stay and gaze into this amazing girl's expressive eyes longer, but he was shaken from his trance by Ishizu tugging at his arm.
"Come," she said, her voice slightly hard.
Yami turned to look at his older sister and felt his shoulders tense when he met her gaze. He saw something...a shadow...a worry...a grim recognition. He knew what was going through her head. Ishizu must have seen his reaction to the beautiful human girl...and she was as aware as he was that King Aknamkanon would not approve.
Yugi, who seemed to have not noticed the rather uncomfortable exchange, stared up at the sky with wide, concerned eyes.
"Yeah, we should go. It looks like there's a nasty storm brewing."
Selene's dark eyes widened. "Let's get out of here before it's too late!" Ishizu cried as she dove off of the ship's platform while Yugi followed after her, while Yami and Selene stayed put where they were.
Yami arched an ebony brow and looked up at the sky. Dark, foreboding clouds were beginning to roll in, shrouding the stars and bright, full moon in a dismal blanket of grey. A few flashes danced over the clouds, the first signs of lightning and thunder.
Yami gave one last look at the girl on the ship. She wasn't looking at him now, apparently talking to someone. Her companion said something and she laughed, the expression lighting up her face and melting the prince's heart. He watched for a moment longer...and finally sighed before ducking back under the surface of the dark, crystal water. A loud splash came from behind him, as Selene swam up along beside her brother.
Ishizu and Yugi had vanished into the night, they were nowhere to be found.
"Well that was interesting," she said, as they circled the dark surface.
"Sel, something doesn't feel right," he suddenly said.
She raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
The prince's blood-red eyes narrowed, "That storm looks really strong, I think we should go back up and see if the ship will be all right."
As stubborn as her brother was, she sighed, "All right but if anything happens we can use our magic to protect us."
Yami nodded, and the siblings swam back up towards the chaos. The sky roared with thunder, as the rain began to fall from the threatening clouds, as they watched the sky turn into a monstrous sea of night. The wind howled, as the rain started to fall harder, it was starting to become impossible to see anything.
The waves threw the ship side to side, as if the sea had become angry, Yami knew the storm was strong, as the lightning split the sky with a loud cry, that sounded like the ocean was wallowing into that very moment the wind smashed into the ship, with a violence they had never seen in their life. The calm sea grew violent, with waves even taller and stronger than their Father's palace, and tossed the ship higher and higher. Lighting lit the darkened sky brighter than any daylight, rain battered in its wake.
People were running in fear for their lives, as the waves raged back and forth. The waves were really rough, as some people suddenly were swept overboard. The ship only had a certain number small life boats, guests had already begun to leave as the ship began to smash into large pieces.
"Hurry everyone get on the boats as fast as you can!" Tea said as she helped a young woman and her children into a boat.
Just as it was lowered to safety, a bolt of lighting hit the main mast, causing it to break out into flames.
"TEA we have to go now!" Serenity cried, her voice was full of panic and worry.
"Come on girl, we don't have a moment to waste!" Mai said, her lavender eyes swirling with terror.
"I know I just have to make sure everyone else is safe!" she shouted.
"Tea listen it's too dangerous, we have to go!" Mai yelled.
Tea turned back to her two best friends, azure eyes filled with sadness.
"I can't watch everyone else die while the storm is taking innocent lives, I have to help my people no matter how bad it gets!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.
But fate had a crueller trick in mind, just as Tea took another step to throw herself over the boat and into the water, the waves hurled a large piece of the mast right into her head. It shattered into a bunch of tiny pieces, creating a cut right above her forehead. The pain blinded her momentarily and she instantly fell into the water, a trickle of blood ran down the left side of her face.
"TEA!" Mai and Serenity cried, as they watched their best friend fall into the dark ocean.
Yami watched in pure terror as the beautiful girl fall into an abyss of darkness. "TEA!" he cried, knowing a human couldn't survive in the underwater kingdom.
The ship had been torn to complete pieces and was on the verge of sinking. Fire burned at some of the remaining pieces floating in the water. Many of the guests struggled to keep from drowning or freezing. The prince swam around looking for her, with his sister following behind.
"There she is!" Selene's voice broke through the darkness.
Tea was clinging to a piece of wood that had fallen from the ship, her blue eyes wide with fear. They quickly swam to the spot where the poor princess floated in the icy cold water.
Dark blood poured from the wound that she had received. That was before a huge wave crashed into her knocking her from the wood and back into the water.
Yami quickly swam out to the spot where she had fallen.
With all of his strength, he dove back into the water along with Selene to find her. It was very difficult to see through the dark murky waters, from the ship that had crashed above into a surge of rocks, and was now lost. They swam through many drowned people until they saw her going deeper into the ocean. She was still alive but trying to hang on. Yami with the very last bit of his strength, he and Selene swam down towards her and pulled her back up to the surface.
The storm was still surging, as they struggled through the dark crystal waves to see through the storm, Yami felt her growing fainter in his arms, as he and Selene carried her through the rough waves. Their arms were starting to ache, but they were not going to give up.
"We have to get her to dry land before she dies," Selene said.
Her head rested against the prince's bare chest, as Yami carried her through the now calm waters. He held her close, as they floated in the waves.
Her azure eyes began to open, as she roughly coughed up some of the sea water she had swallowed, as her beautiful lips began to regain some of their colors.
Yami saw her beautiful eyes raise slowly to look up at him, they were slightly unfocused and trembling as she spoke,"Who are you?" she spoke.
"My name is Yami and this is my sister Selene," he gestured towards the almost out of breath princess.
They finally reached the shallow waters of the beach, her body trembling from the cold water, as he set her on the beach. The sun was just rising over the ocean, as he and Selene collapsed from swimming so much.
The royal princess glared at her older brother, "I hope you saw that Yami because I will not be doing it again!" she snapped before climbing out of the sea herself and up onto dry land.
Selene breathed in huge amounts of air, her small lithe body shivering from the cold water, sometimes the ocean had a serious way of freezing her to death. Her ocean eyes turned towards the now awake human girl.
"Look she's waking up," she said.
Yami's heart once again skipped a beat, as Tea slowly opened her eyes breathing in the fresh cool air. Her vision slowly came into focus, as she came face to face with them for the very first time. Her azure eyes met a beautiful pair of red crimson and ocean blue eyes.
"Where am I?" the princess wondered, as she slowly sat up, bright sunlight shone in her eyes. "
You're safe," a deep handsome voice responded.
"Of course she's safe we rescued her," a girl's voice said.
Her eyes adjusted until she saw a merman and a mermaid sitting just a few feet away from her. He had the strangest looking hair she had ever seen, shaped like a starfish, red, black, and yellow were dyed into. it.
Blonde spiked lighting bolt shaped bangs stuck up in three different directions and his eyes were the most beautiful. He had a slim yet muscled body. She was even more amazed at his tail which was black with red, gold, and lavender streaks. The ending fins were black as well.
A girl with dark brown hair and golden highlights was sitting next to him, her eyes were a bright ocean color. Her tail was a deep blue color, shimmering scales of a deep azure gleamed, and the ends were a dark blue. The mermaid flopped down on the soft sand onto her back exhausted.
"Are you all right?" Yami asked her, his crimson eyes bright with happiness.
Tea smiled at him, "Yes I'm fine, you were the one that saved me weren't you?" she said.
He nodded, running his fingers through his tri-colored hair, a light blush forming on his face.
"I know you may be frightened and scared, but I assure you me and Selene mean you no harm," he said in a kind voice, as his fingers gently ran through her dark brown hair, that hung loose about her shoulders.
She looked into his gorgeous eyes and felt herself getting lost in them, her cheeks burning, as she smiled, "I'm not afraid I've just never been this close to a merman before," she said lowering her eyes toward the ground,as her face burned a deep cherry red.
"I'm glad to know you're not frightened, I've never seen a creature so beautiful like you in my whole life," he said, before taking her hand in his and pressing his lips gently against her skin.
She instantly blushed but moved closer to him, blue eyes sparkling. Yami looked into her cerulean eyes a desire arising inside his orbs of fire. A look of hunger and want, a hunger for her love and her soul. His eyes slowly closed as his lips brushed against hers, he lifted her chin and brought her closer. Her lips tasted like rich, sweet chocolate, every bite was so tempting and so sweet. She felt his tongue slowly sliding across her lips before she opened her mouth to let him in.
Their tongues caressed each other's mouths, as the heat between them became even more intense. Tea wrapped her arms around his neck, as they continued to kiss. His fingers caressed her bare shoulder, as a strange feeling began to burn through both of their veins. A warm burning desire for each other.
As they broke apart for air, Yami opened his eyes to look at the beauty sitting just a few inches away from him. The eternal bond had been made. A casted spell of eternal love was now within their hearts and there was no stopping it. He never thought it even existed, neither did she but now they were bonded forever and there was absolutely no of reversing this
A/N: Until next time!
