Hi everyone, this is Black Cat speaking. I understand it's been nearly a year since chapter 10 went up. I thank everyone who reviewed and added this story as an alert or favorite or both. I first made this story before high school and put it up first in 2006. My account got hacked in 2009 and I decided to repost it. This chapter was first made in 2007 but I never got a chance to post it since I couldn't find the USB it was on until a few days ago. I added some new things on here to keep this story interesting. I'm not sure yet if I want to continue it or just finish it in a few chapters since I'm busy with college now. Anyway, enjoy.

Disclaimer: Don't own anything. Don't complain.

Previously on Pichi Pichi Pitch: Domino City:

Seira was hit by several of the dragons, trying to hold on. By that time, Mokuba started coming around and saw her. His eyes widened. An image of Seira when they first met appeared then was replaced with the Seira now.

It's her. She's back. He thought, the pearl in his hand glowing. Mokuba looked at it and threw it to her. "Take it!" he said, not caring or noticing that he wasn't struggling for air as he spoke. Izuru then tried to get the pearl back.

"No!" Izuru said as the pearl headed for Seira.

"It's… it's you. You saved me again." Mokuba said as he sat up. Seira shook her head.

"No. It was all thanks to you that we're alive."

"You were crying that time too." Mokuba commented.

"At last… we get to meet each other again." Seira said as she hugged him. Mokuba looked up at her before resting his head on her chest.

"Even though you have already experienced your mermaid-human relationship, Seira is in danger as are we. Izuru is alive and she stole the tablet. That means someone awakened her to capture Seira."

"It's a good thing Izuru didn't get the tablet. Who knows what powers and secrets it might hold." Sara said. She glanced down at Seira and Mokuba and sighed.

Please Aqua Regina-sama… if you are forgiving; please forgive my sins, if that is the reason why you brought me here. I only wish that my family is safe and not cursed as I am.

"Sara? Are you alright?" Lucia asked, snapping the older woman out of her thought.

"I'm fine. I'm just worried."

"Why do you return empty handed, Izuru? Surely the tablet must have been easy to get yet it is not here."

"Gomen Gaito-sama. It's the mermaid princesses' fault I failed."

"Oh? The pink, green and mizuro mermaids were giving you problems?"

"No. It was the purple, aiiro and orange's fault."

"Nani? The orange mermaid?"

"Gaito-sama, I don't think it was Sara. She appeared much younger and her song was much different from Sara's song."

"How is that possible? After Sara died there should have been no heir for the Indian Ocean. She had her pearl… didn't she?"

"I don't think so. You see there was this boy that tried to stop me. He had the orange pearl and gave it to the mermaid."

"You called Gaito-sama?"

"Yuri, go to Domino City. Find anyone that looks like Sara and report back to me."

"Hai."

"Actually, if you come across that boy Hippo, go to him. Tell him that I want to meet with him and bring him to me. Tell him that I don't want to harm him or try to find the mermaid princesses, but to talk."

"But Gaito-sama…"

"I know you love the boy." Yuri felt her face heat up but Gaito continued. "That is why he will listen to you. If he doesn't want to come to me, tell him that I will meet him at bay."

"Hai." Yuri said as she disappeared.

"Is something the matter?"

"I wish to go to the surface. I have an idea that will attract the mermaid princesses and allow us to capture them."

"Oh? And what might that be?"

"There is a surfing contest tomorrow; all the surfers in Domino will be there. If the mermaid princesses are in Domino, then they will surely be there to watch. Then I will put my plan to action, allowing the mermaids to fall into my trap."

"I cannot allow you to. Bakura only wants to send one at a time and I have Yuri going already."

"He won't know. After all, didn't you say I look like your brother? I could pose as him and he won't know the difference."

"It's too dangerous. I won't let you go."

"How can you keep me and Aries here when you know we can try and bring them in?"

"Because you are my son and I won't allow you to go where you will get hurt!" Gaito snapped back. "Now, go back to your sister."

The boy glared before turning his back and said, "Hai… father."

"Good… Kaito."

Chapter 11

Seira was still holding Mokuba and crying and looked down at him. "I knew if you kept my pearl you'd see me again."

"I know. Everyone told me to get rid of it, that you were just part of my imagination." Mokuba replied, holding her hand. "Why didn't you tell me you were a princess?"

"Well, if I'm the last mermaid of the Indian Ocean, I doubt there's any point in saying I was a princess of castle ruins."

"How long will you stay?"

"I'll be here about a month. Two tops."

"I want to see you again."

"I can't."

"Why not? My house is private and right near the ocean so you don't have to get out of the water, and my brother's out nearly every day and the servants don't bother me and-" Mokuba stopped talking when Seira removed her hand from his and shushed him with it.

"Mokuba, please stop." Seira said, tears falling. He looked at her and wiped some of her tears away. "We can't meet as often as you like. You've got a psycho bitch trying to go out with you, your dream idol staying at your brother's hotel and-"

"Wait, how do you know all that?" Seira stopped talking and looked away. "Who was that woman that tried taking the tablet and why did she try taking it in the first place? And why haven't you told me your name yet and yet you already know mine?"

"Mokuba-"

"Please. All I want to know is your name."

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"Because if a mermaid reveals herself to a human, she'll turn to bubbles, just like in the story of the Mermaid Princess fairy tale. The same unhappy ending!" Seira burst out crying now, hugging him. His eyes widened in surprise as she continued. "The story is true. I can't reveal it to you or I'll die from it. And that bitch that tried stealing the tablet-I don't even know why she did or what she's even doing alive if she died five years ago! Mokuba, we can't. I'm sorry." Seira cried out as she dove into the water and swimming away, leaving Mokuba on the beach, confused and hurt.

"Oh my god." Lucia whispered as they watched what had happened. When Seira came out in human form, she tried wiping her tears away before they saw that she was crying. "Seira..."

"It's nothing. Honestly."

"No it's not. You're crying, you poor dear." Sara said, hugging Seira. Seira then cried loudly into Sara.

"I don't want to leave him, but with Izuru back means that Mokuba will be in greater danger and I don't want him hurt. I love him too much." Seira cried out, Sara soothingly rubbing her sister's back.

"Sara, why don't you come over to our hotel and stay the night? You know, like a sleepover?" Karen asked.

"A sleepover?"

"Oh yeah. I think you could help calm Seira down a little bit and then we can chat." Rina said.

"Yeah. Like that time back at Karen's kingdom. It was so fun." Lucia commented.

"I don't know…"

"C'mon Sara, it'll be like old times. You, me, and tons of pillows except these pillows are full of feathers rather than seaweed." Coco urged.

"Why don't you ask Ishtar-san to come too?" Hanon asked.

"I could. But I think she's a little preoccupied with the hole in the wall. Besides, she's not exactly that kind of type."

"What kind of type is she?" Lucia wondered.

"She's more of the bookish and sort of old fashioned. Just don't tell her I said that."

"I'm sure she'll let you go for tonight. I mean, just say it's like a family get together."

"Maybe."

"Just ask her. Please."

"Alright. Give me your room number so I can go there after I see her."

"It's room 2324." Seira answered as Sara left.

"Hey Seira, what exactly are you going to do about Mokuba?" Lucia asked. Seira sighed.

"I don't really know, actually. I was thinking that I was going to get my pearl at the surfing contest tomorrow, but now there's a change of plans. And besides, I can't face him after what I said."

"But that was to him as a mermaid. But this is Seira, a human girl. What about a date?"

"A date? But he already refused Rebecca an-"

"But that was Rebecca. You're different. You didn't throw yourself onto him."

"Maybe, but-"

"Don't worry. We can help you with that. Right girls?"

"Right!" Noel, however, didn't answer.

"Noel? Doushita?" Karen asked.

Noel just sighed and leaned on the railing, having a dreamy gaze in her eyes. Lucia tried waving her hand in front of her face, but it didn't work. Rina snapped her fingers in front of her face but it didn't work. Hanon tried making loud noises but it didn't work either. Karen tried calling her name but it didn't work. Coco pushed Noel over the edge into the water, reverting Noel to her mermaid form. She rose and yelled, "What the hell was that for?"

"Noel, we tried calling your name and all that stuff. You were just stuck in a gaze." Rina answered. Noel looked up then sighed. "Noel, is something wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. How can love be wrong?"

"Love?"

"Oh, you met a guy. What's he like? What's his name? What's he look like? Where'd you meet him?" Hanon asked excitedly.

"He is polite, handsome and intellectual. He has long pale blue hair and brown eyes, about my age and I met him at the beach when we were looking for Seira. His name is Ryou-chan."

"Hey! That's copying when I was in love with Mitsuki-sensei!" Hanon outburst. Noel ignored her and sighed happily and floated in the water on her back, her arms across her chest as she happily floated away.

"I hope I see Ryou-chan again." Noel cooed.

"She's got it bad." Coco commented, the others nodding in agreement. Karen, however, was stunned.

"Noel, are you sure he looked like that?"

"Karen, I think you might be thinking about his brother."

"A brother?"

"Yes."

"Oh." Karen said, blushing. Everyone on land crowded around Karen and stared at her. She sighed and said, "I know, I know. You're going to ask me about the guy I met. He looked like Noel's person except the guy seemed older. He saw me in mermaid form but he wants to meet me in my human form."

"Wow. Just from one day and you already tell people about mermaids."

"I didn't tell him. But he has a spirit that needs to find his memories about another mermaid princess; I think she might be my great-great-great-great-great grandmother."

"Whoa."

"Yeah."

Noel sighed again and jumped up to return to human form. "So are we heading back to the hotel?"

"I guess."

After Seira left to the ocean, Mokuba got up and stared at the ocean. She's back. I can't believe it. After five years... she came back. But she left so upset that I feel really bad. But how did she know all that stuff about what was happening?

"Mokuba!" Mokuba turned around to see Yugi and his friends running towards him.

"Oh. Hey guys." Mokuba said, not really meaning it.

"Hey Mokuba, what happened to you? You ran downstairs after that dragon lady came and then you were gone and that tablet was gone and there was a big hole in the wall."

"I don't know. You wouldn't believe me."

"C'mon Mokuba, we're your friends."

"Friends? How can you call yourselves my friends when you don't even believe me?" Mokuba spat as he walked around them.

"Do you think Sara-nee-chan is coming?" Seira asked, sniffling a little. She had changed into an orange nightgown with shooting stars on it reaching down to her knees. The other mermaids were there as well, dressed in sleepwear as well. Lucia wore a pink tank top and shorts, Hanon wore a blue belly shirt and black shorts, Rina wore a large green shirt that covered up to her shins, and Coco wore a long yellow nightgown with a fish on it. Karen and Noel's nightclothes were a bit more revealing, for they wore baby doll outfits except the color matched their favorite colors, purple and aiiro.

"I don't know."

Just then there was a knock at the door. Seira opened the door and Sara was at the door. She still was dressed in her clothes but carried a bag with her. Behind her was Isis.

"I guess you decided to come."

"Actually, Isis-chan sort of forced me to come and she decided to come as well."

"I thought we could use a break. After all, we haven't really had a break with the researching the tablet."

"And the hole?"

"Surprisingly it disappeared after you left."

"Really?"

"Oh yes."

"Why don't you change into sleepwear? I mean, it'll be alright since it's a sleepover."

"Alright."

Sara and Isis returned wearing white nightgowns. "So now what?"

"Truth or dare!"

"Alright."

"I'll start. Coco, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"What was it like to kiss Malik?"

"Don't bring that bastard up."

"He isn't a bastard. He's stubborn, but not a bastard." Isis snapped.

"How would you know?"

"I'm his sister."

"Oh."

"Well, how was it?"

"It felt like have leather to your mouth. Rina, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you… call Masahairo and tell him that he has a hot ass."

"Now?"

"Now."

Masahairo just got out of the shower when his cell phone rang. He walked over to his dressing stand and picked up the phone. "Moshi moshi?"

"Masahairo?"

"Oh, Rina-chan. I just got out of the shower when you called."

"Masahairo?"

"Hai?"

"I called to tell you that you have a hot ass." Rina quickly said as she hung up, leaving Masahiro blushing as he held the towel around his waist.

"Alright, my turn. Lucia, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Did you have sex with Kaito while we were at that onsen in Osaka?" Rina asked, her face eerily serious.

"Rina! There's a child in the room!"

"Hey, I'm fifteen, not five. I know what sex is." Seira complained.

"NANI? I mean… why do you…" Lucia stuttered, her face growing brighter every second.

"You totally did it. I knew it."

"How is that even possible? I mean, hello, mermaid thing?" Noel asked, slightly confused.

"Hey, she's the mermaid, not both of them. Plus, who said anything about regular sex?" Rina asked, smirking a bit as Lucia covered her face with the closest pillow. Coco laughed, pulling the pillow away from her face.

"Alright, alright, I blew him. Happy? How the hell did you know?"

"When Masahiro and I went in, we saw a towel by the rocks and you two were the ones who went in before us."

"Ugh! You suck Rina."

"Love you too. Anyway, you're turn."

"Hanon, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you… to prank call someone's room and yell at them in English."

"And what am I supposed to say?"

"I don't know, something crazy."

"Fine. Give me the phone." Hanon said. Karen passed her the phone and Hanon called a room. She then began speaking in English, growing in intensity each time. Only Sara and Isis were able to understand what she was saying, giggling after everything. Finally Hanon hung up.

"What'd you say?"

"I was asking them if they knew Chuck Norris was under their bed, then going about a ginger in his closet with no soul." The other girls laughed then went quiet when the phone rang again. Rina answered the phone this time.

"Hello?"

"Rina? Please tell Hanon, no, Chuck Norris is not under my bed and there is no ginger in my closet."

"Nasagia?"

"Duh."

"Alright. I'll tell her." Rina said, ending the call.

"Really? Calling your boyfriend?"

"What? I didn't want to call someone's room that I didn't know. I mean, what if they call security on us?"

"Fine. You're turn."

Noel, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Tell us more about that guy that you met."

Noel blushed and then sighed, snuggling into her pillow. "He was so romantic and handsome. He was so polite and he complemented how my name is for an angel." She said as she swung her pillow back and forth as she held it close to her chest. "Ah, Ryou-chan is always on my mind now!"

"Ryou-chan?" Isis inquired.

"Yes."

"He wouldn't happen to have whitish hair and brown eyes did he?"

"You know Ryou-chan?"

"I do."

"Ah, tell me every detail you know about him so I can find out everything about him." Noel squealed as she clung to Isis' arm.

"Uh… he's not exactly the kind of boy you would want to go out with."

"Oh? Well then truth or dare Ishtar-san?"

"Truth."

"What kind of guy are youinterested in?" Noel asked, causing Isis to blush.

"Aw, does wittle Isis-chan thinking about big bad boy Seto?" Sara cooed as Isis covered her face in her hands.

"Nani? You're in love with Kaiba Seto? The man who owns the hotel?" the other mermaids asked.

"I thought you said you could keep a secret?"

"Well technically, since it was truth and you didn't answer yet, I helped out a little."

"Wait, aren't you like six years older than him?"

"Actually, I'm four years older than him."

"So dish out the details. How'd you first meet him? What was he like?"

"A few years ago, he held a dueling tournament."

"A dueling tournament?"

"Is it that card game that he and Yugi are competing about?" Seira asked.

"How did you know that?"

"Mokuba explained it to me when I went to the Game Shop."

"Anyway, I gave him a rare god card so he might have a chance to stop a group called the Rare Hunters. I entered only to save Malik before he could destroy the Phara-"

"I told you that guy was no good."

"He changed."

"You can never be too sure about a fugitive."

"He wasn't a fugitive."

"Well I wasn't his girlfriend."

"Continue Ishtar-san."

"Anyway, I was one of the top eight that got there, along with Jounouchi, Yugi, Seto, Ryou, Malik, Odion, Malik's guardian and a girl named Mai. Long story short, Yugi won, Malik was stopped and then Seto began coming to the museum often, though it's not likely he's interested in me. I think he likes Sara."

"What? How can you say that?"

"Well it sure isn't the artifacts and only other thing that's new is you."

"Well I have no love interest of him."

"Oh? Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Who's you're love interest than?" Isis asked. Sara was uncomfortable with that question and the mermaids knew why. "Well?"

"He's dead. The man I was in love with." Sara answered quietly, looking down, Isis looking guilty.

"Oh Sara... I'm so sorry. I had no idea. I'm sorry to have asked it."

"It's alright. Anyway, even though I promised Seto I wouldn't tell, you know why he's been coming around and asking me out and stuff?"

"Why?"

"He only wants to know more about you Isis-chan. Turns out he's pretty shy himself about women."

"No."

"Yes."

"Are you serious?"

"As sure as Rebecca is stalking Mokuba."

"Oh my God."

"Now it's my turn. Karen, truth or-"

"Dare. I'm not chicken to pick truth like most of you, since Rina and Hanon were the only ones to pick dare." Karen said before Sara could finish.

"Alright. Take a taxi to 19th street to 234, room 6D. Give the guy living there a French kiss."

"Who lives there?"

"Someone we know."

"Fine. I'll do it." Karen said, getting up to change before Sara added, "But you wear the clothes you are already wearing."

"Are you serious? I can't go out at night, to a total stranger, wearing this. And besides, if I go out, I'm likely gonna get raped."

"I thought you said you weren't chicken?"

"Fine." Karen then grabbed a long trench coat. "But I'm wearing this over it."

"Fine. But when you get up to the room, take the trench coat off."

"Fine." Karen said, leaving the room.

"Who lives there anyway?"

"Ryou and Bakura. Likely she'll kiss Bakura."

"Ooooooooooooooo!"

Ryou was pacing in his apartment about the girls he and Bakura had met.

"Is there any way we can possibly be seen without being in one body? I mean, what if Noel and Karen want to go out with only Bakura and Ryou? What if-"

"Calm down. I already asked Malik to come over to help us with that." Bakura replied calmly in spirit form.

Malik entered through the door and locked it and said, "Got here as fast as I could."

"How the hell did he get in?"

"I gave him our spare key."

"Without telling me first? What the fuck?"

"Calm down. Besides, this is a painless process." Malik said, revealing the infamous Millennium Rod.

"What the hell? How did you get that from your sister?"

"She and her friend Sara left for the night. I'm returning it right after."

"I thought you said it was fucking painless?" Ryou yelled fifteen minutes after Malik arrived. He had been successful in separating Ryou and Bakura so now Bakura had his own body. On the down side, Bakura had no clothes.

"Shut up Ryou. You sound like a girl." Bakura said, walking to the kitchen for something to eat. Hey, when you've been kicked out of someone's body, you gotta eat.

"Don't walk around like that! It's indecent!" Ryou snapped. Bakura shrugged and put a pair of boxers and a white wifebeater on.

"Well now that this is done, Ryou, make us something to eat."

"What?"

"Hey, I had to use most of my energy to do this."

"Fine."

*Ding Dong*

"Bakura, go get it!"

*Ding Dong*

"You go get it."

*Ding Dong*

"I'm making you stinkin' food. Go get it."

*Ding Dong*

"Whatever." Bakura said as he went to the door.

Karen stood outside, trench coat off, waiting for someone to open the door. She rung the bell again and then began tapping her foot impatiently. She rang it a few more times before saying, "No one probably lives here." She turned around to reach for the trench coat when someone opened the door. Karen stood up straight and turned around to see the man that had kissed her earlier that day.

He smirked and said, "Nice outfit."

Karen looked down to see he could see her through her outfit, since it was practically transparent from the cold. Karen shrieked as she covered tried to cover herself.

"Don't look at me like that."

"Well it's not my fault. You're the one dressed like that."

"Well... I didn't know you'd live here. I mean, Sara only dared me to come here and French the man living he- Oh wait." Karen said blushing as she and Bakura locked eyes. "Well..."

"Karen?"

"Yes."

"I guess now that we're here..."

"Yeah..."

There was an awkward silence before Malik asked, "Bakura, what's taking so long?"

"Um..."

"Oh. You have company."

"Who gives about them?" Bakura muttered as he kissed Karen. Karen kissed back, allowing his tongue to enter...

Again.

"Oi Bakura what's keeping you-" Malik stopped in the middle of his question as he saw Bakura holding a girl in a purple baby doll ligature by her butt, long, slim legs wrapped around Bakura's waist, her back to the wall as they made out.

"What's wron-Oh dear God Bakura! What is wrong with you? We're separated less than ten minutes and already you're smooching some random chick!" Ryou asked, coming out to see why Malik stopped.

Bakura stopped kissing Karen, then put her trench coat on for her and asked, "See you tomorrow at the surfing contest?"

"Yeah. And, Ryou?" Ryou looked at the woman, wondering why she looked familiar. "Noel would like to see you at the contest with Bakura." Karen replied, winking at Bakura. Bakura smirked and kissed her neck and slapped her butt as she walked down the hall.

"Okaaaaaaayyyyyyy... who was that?" Malik asked.

"Karen." Bakura answered.

"Oh God... Noel." Ryou whined as he covered his face.

"Um..."

"They're with Kaiba."

"You mean with that surfer dude Kaito Domouto?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I gotta admit... she was smoking hot."

"Where's Karen? She should have been back by now." Noel asked, checking the clock. At that moment Karen walked through the door and sat back where she was originally.

"What took you so long?"

"I was making out with Bakura and then left when these two guys came out to see what was taking him so long.

"One of them was Ryou, and the other was Egyptian with violet eyes, sandy hair-"

"Malik? What was he doing there?" Isis asked.

"I don't know, but he was holding some kind of rod with an eye in the center. It sort of looked similar to your necklace Isthar-san."

"Malik had the Rod? Oh... I'm going to kill him."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"He wasn't supposed to use it without me saying so."

"Okay my turn. Seira, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Should we give little Seira her first taste of real womanhood or something else?" Karen asked.

"Hey!"

"I have two ideas, you pick. First one, call Mokuba-"

"Oh c'mon, Karen. That's mean. You know I'm still upset at what happened earlier."

"I didn't finish. When you call him, ask him if he wants to go have dinner tomorrow night."

"Other choice?"

"Call Mokuba and tell him you want to fuck him hard."

"Why are you bringing Mokuba into this?"

"Hello? You become an official woman when you hook up with a guy before high school."

"C'mon, that's only in like two months."

"So?"

"Well you never dated a guy before high school!"

"Actually, there was that one guy."

"You mean the guy from the Artic?"

"Duh."

"Why are you being mean to me Karen-san?" Seira asked. Karen shoved a phone to her ear and it began ringing. "How did you get his number?"

"It's on this napkin I found by your bed." Karen said, showing her the napkin with two phone numbers on it.

"I'm not doin-"

"Hello?"

"Mokuba?"

"Yeah. Is that you Seira?"

"Take it back." Seira said, blushing as she gave it back to Karen.

"Fine by me." She then put the phone to her own ear and said, "Hello Mokuba-san."

"Karen-san? What happened to Seira?"

"She's just shy. Anyway, she was just saying how she wanted to spend some more time with you, seeing the whole... mess happened."

"What? No!" Seira then tried to get the phone away from Karen but failed.

"Well..."

"She wants to know if you want to go out for dinner or lunch tomorrow, you know, like after the contest."

"Sure that's fine by me. I'll see you guys tomorrow then. Bye."

"Goodbye." Karen said, clicking the phone off.

"Why did you do that?"

"Because one, it's obvious you have a crush on him and two, he already said yes."

"Damnit!"

"Oh chill out Seira. It's gonna be fine."

"And what about Rebecca? What's going to stop her? And I can't face him again after all that horrible stuff I said to him earlier." Seira said, crying into her knees.
