SOTP: Hey guys! Chapter four! I hope you like! Disclamer: I own nothing

Yusei swam as fast as he could to the surface. It had been a week since he had seen Jack. Everytime he tried to visit with him, Jack was never around. He couldn't figure out why. He kepted going to the surface everyday though, in hopes that he would see him. His heart ached at not being able to be with Jack.

Which puzzled him, he barely knew this man and yet he wanted nothing more than to see him. Something about Jack was so strong, honorable, ferce. Yet he seemed so kind and gentle at the same time. And when he smiled, oh what Yusei wouldn't do to keep Jack smiling like that.

He continued to swim faster at the thought of seeing that smile. Suddenly he stopped when he heard someone call out to him.

"Yusei! Hey man!" His best friend Crow greeted. Yusei smiled at him as Crow swam up.

Crow was a funny, warm and heartfelt merman. He had orange hair with sliver gray eyes and wore a green headband with two sliver rings on the side. His tail was black with two gold streaks down the middle and also wore a jacket with a chest pocket on each side.

Crow swam quickly to catch up with Yusei. Who laughed slightly when he got his tail stuck in some tall seaweed. Annoyed, Crow started to pulled to try and get unstuck. Which ended up with him being flown forward when the seaweed snapped. Making him crash into Yusei.

"Heh, sorry about that, So where are you off to in a hurry?" Crow asked as he back away from Yusei and pulled the seaweed off his tail.

"I'm going to the surface to see someone." Yusei answered.

Crow smirked at Yusei, knowing he had a crush on someone. You see love between merpeople and humans wasn't frowned upon. It was encourged.
In fact when Yusei told his Father about Jack, he was happy for him.

However, there were certain groups of merpeople who were against this. They would attack any mermaid or merman who were in love with humans or attack the human they were in love with. Which is why Yusei was careful visiting with Jack.

Crow laughed happliy as he put Yusei in a head lock. The two of them were like brothers, so he was happy that Yusei had found someone.

"So that's where you've been hiding yourself. So, what's the name of the person who's got you by the heart strings?" Crow asked. Making Yusei blush slightly.

"His name is Jack Atlas." Yusei said admiting to Crow he was right. That this, Crow's eyes widened in shock. He then let go of Yusei with a sad look on his face.

"What's wrong Crow?" Yusei asked in consern.

"You don't know? Yusei, that prince was recently sruck ill."

"What?"

"Yeah, appearently someone poisioned him, but not enough to kill him. He's been struggling for over a week. That's why he hasn't been seen on the shore lately."

Yusei's eyes widened in consern at hearing this. He quickly returned to swiming to the surface. With Crow swiming after him. Night had fallen when the two reached the surface. Luckly for Yusei, Crow knew that all the bedrooms in the palace were close to the ocean.

The two found Jack's bedroom which had a balcony. The doors were open so Jack could have fresh air.

"How did you know where Jack's room was?" Yusei asked Crow when the got there.

"Kalin told me. He used to be a human servant in this palace before he became a merman to be with his girlfriend." Crow answered.

"I wish there was a way I could get closer." Yusei said as heard Jack cough terribly. Wanting to help, Crow tapped Yusei's shoulder and pulled out a small , glowing red orb on a string.

"Wish granted."

"Is that a transforment orb?"

"Yep, this thing will allow you to turn into human for a short time." Crow explained. Yusei placed a hand on Crow's shoulder as he took the pendent.

"Thanks Crow. This really means alot."

"Hey, I'm treasure seeker. Finding stuff like this for you and others to used is what I do. Don't worry about it pal." Crow said as he told Yusei how the orb works.

"Now, once you put it on, you say where and who you want to be with and the pendent will transport you while transforming you. Your only gonna have till midnight. After that you'll turn back to normal." Crow explained.

Yusei nodded to Crow in thanks before placing the pendent around his neck. Yusei chanted what he needed to say and began to feel a glow of light surround him as he floated out of the water. The light disappered as soon as it came and Yusei stood on the balcony on two legs.

He was dressed in a navy blue jacket, black tank top and matching pants. Yusei also wore light brown boots and black fingerless gloves. He opened his eyes to glance himself over. Yusei's eyes then widened in shock at seeing the state Jack was in.

He was pale, shaking and his face was sweating like crazy. He coughed roughly and panited heavly as his tossed and turned. Yusei quickly rushed to Jack's side, stumbling slightly as he never walked, much less run before. He got on his knees and grabbed Jack's hand. Calling out to him softly.

"Jack, can you hear me? Open your eyes." Yusei said in worry.

Jack open his eye's slowly at the sound of the voice calling to him. It sounded so familure and so comferting. He turned his head to see a man in the darkness of his bedroom. Hold his hand while consern shined in his familure deep bule eyes.

"Y-Yusei? i-is th-hat you?" Jack asked. Making Yusei smile as he answered him.

"That's right Jack, It's me, Yusei."
