SOTP: Hey guys! Sorry this took so long. I was trying hard to finish "The vampire lord's princess" Before I updated this story. I hope you like this!

Disclamer! I own nothing.

Yusei layed there in shock as Jack kissed him, his lips were warm and tender. The merman closed his eyes slowly as he returned Jack's kiss softly. Jack moaned as he ran his touge across Yusei's lips. Making him gasp in surprize, allowing Jack to slip his touge inside Yusie's mouth. Deepening the kiss. When they broke away, Jack gazed into Yusei's deep blue eyes. Which were clouded with lust.
Despite being under water, they were both panting hard. Yusei smiled at Jack a moment later as he cupped his cheek. Wispering softly as he came close to his ear.

"Jack, that felt so nice. I wish we could stay like this."

"I feel the same. I'm sorry if I was coming on too strongly. It's just ever since we met I-" Jack was cut off by Yusei kissing him once again. He smiled at Jack softly when he pulled back.

"It's okay Jack. I'm glad you were my first kiss." Yusei wispered.

Laying his head on Jack's chest. The human prince smiled as he ran a hand through the merman's hair. The two continued to sit their in each others arms for a while. Enjoying the peaceful ocean. They would've stayed like that longer, but Jack had to return the surface before night fall. So the two realsed each other and swam back up together, hand in hand.

The sun had began to set when they came to the castle. The surface felt so odd to Jack after everything he had just seen. It was almost as if what happened was all a dream. He turned around to see Yusei smiling at him. He knew then and there that what he just experinced was real, and it was wonderful. Jack found his coat and boots right where his left them and put them back on.

He then went to Yusei to give back the stone. The merman shook his head gently as he placed the stone in Jack hand.

"Keep it. Whenever you want to be in the ocean again, just place it around your neck. So long as you where it, you be able to breath underwater at anytime." Yusei explained.

"Thank you. I'll keep it always." Jack said with a smile. Yusei smiled in return and wispered in Jack's ear before diving back in the water.

"Goodnight Jack."

Yusei then back flipped into the water. Feeling happier than he ever had. Jack turned around and walked back to the castle, feeling the same as Yusei did.

Jack felt calm that night as he went to bed.

Thoughts of Yusei were flowing through his mind. The way he smiled, the way his eyes shined in the sunlight. How soft he lips felt when they kissed. Jack blushed a bright red at that last thought. He was a bit unsure of these new feelings. Yet being with Yusei made Jack feel calm and at ease. He could talk to him about anything. Jack had never felt this way with anyone.

Not even Carly.

There was just something about Yusei that was special. Not beacause he was a mermaid, but because his personality was so interesting. He wasn't snobish, or stuck up like the others Jack knew. Yusei was warm, fun, and kind. He was so many things that Jack liked in a person. Yusei gave Jack something that money never could in a million years.

Yusei had given Jack true friendship. Along with his heart.

(Perhaps, this is what true love must feel like...) Jack thought smiling to himself.

He then turned out his lamp before entering the world of his dreams.

(Jack's Dream)

Jack opened his eyes to find himself under the sea again. Everything was just as beautiful as when he was there earlier. He looked up to see Yusei swiming towards him. A warm, gentle smile on his face. He then surprized the human prince with a kiss while wrapping his arms around his neck. Jack returned the kiss and held Yusei close.

"Do you love me, Jack?" Yusei asked when the two broke away.

Jack was slightly confussed by that question.

Surely Yusei alreadly knew how he felt. True, Jack never said it in words, but were they really needed? Couldn't Yusei be sure of Jack's love without hearing the words? Weren't his actions enough for him? Jack was about to ask Yusei all of this when they were both hit by a sudden blast.

The two were ripped away from each others arms. With no idea of what happened.

Suddenly Jack was on land, with fire was all around him. He stumbled around, barely able to see anything in front of him. People were running every which way, trying to get to safety. Hearing a scream, Jack turned around to see Yusei trapped under a burning beam. He could barely move and was struggling just to breath. Jack tried desperately to help him, but somehow couldn't move his arms or legs.

As if he was trapped. Jack felt helpless as Yusei looked up at him with pleading eyes. Calling to Jack as the fire consumed his body.

"JACK! HELP ME!"

(Dream end)

"YUSEI!" Jack called out as he awoke from his slumber. The fear of seeing Yusei in danger still in his mind. Along with the feeling of helplessness as he watched him in pain.

Unable to shake these feeings, Jack put on his clothes and went to the beach. Hoping to clear his shaken mind. Everything seemed peaceful enough, until he heard laugher coming from the docks. Curious, he followed the sound to find some fisher man. Who clearly had far too much to drink. They were standing around something that was tied up on the ground.

Stabbing it with harpoons. Jack came in closer to see what they found. His eyes widened in horror when he realised what they caught was Yusei! He was bloodly, brused, and breathing heavy. Yusei open his eyes slightly, a look of pain clear as day on his face.

"Hey, I'll bet we'll get a huge amount of money from the king if we sell it to him." One of the men said as he kicked Yusei in his side. Making the merman wince.

"Yeah, that old man we'll pay through the nose for this!" Another said as he stabbed Yusei with a harpoon once more.

"AHHH!" Yusei screamed as blood began to stain his beautiful sliver tail.

That teared it. Jack was pissed off. He walked up to group with pure anger in his eyes. One man was about stab Yusei again when Jack grabbed him by him the neck and threw him into the sand. Jack then kicked another guy in the stomach and punched the last guy in the face. The prince stood over the three men as they staired at Jack. Filled with fear, while lying on the ground in pain.

"You so much as even look at him again, and I will feed your bodies to the sharks. DON'T YOU EVER, LAY A HAND ON HIM AGAIN! IS THAT UNDERSTOOD? !" Jack said in anger.

The three men nodded and then ran like babies. Jack then went to check on Yusei. He was looking over his wounds when he heard voice come from below the dock.

"Whoa, man! Remind me never to piss you off!"

"And who might you be?" Jack asked the merman who was swimming below them.

"The names Crow. I'm a friend of Yusei's. I tried to help him when he got caught by those goons. But I couldn't even cut the net open. I'm just glad you saved him. Guess you must be the famous Jack Atlas."

"I am. Yusei's in pretty bad shape. How can I help him?"

"You can't, so long as he's in that form. He needs to get back home."

"But I can't just throw him back into the ocean, he can't move! And his tail is badly wounded." Jack explained.

"What! ? Ugh, well, then, he's gonna have to be cared for on land. Wait one sec." Crow said as he dove under water for second and came back up just as fast.

He then threw a large stone at Jack. Which he caught effortlessly. The stone was in the shape of circle, swirled with the colors of purple, red and aqua bule. There was a bit of crystal sparkles in it as well. The stone glistened in the moon light as Jack studied it closely.

"What will this do?" Jack asked Crow after a moment.

"That stone is called 'three moon's'. It can turn a mermaid into a human for three days time. Mermaids are fast healers no matter what form their in. So that should be enough time to keep Yusei human so his tail can recover." Crow explained.

"I see. So you gave Yusei something simular that night I was sick. So he could visit me."

"Yep! You catch on fast! Once the moon rises on the thrid night, Yusei should change back into a merman. So make sure he gets into the water by then." Crow said as Jack pick up Yusei.

"I understand. Thank you Crow." Jack said, grateful to have his help.

"Don't mention it! Take care of my best friend now!" With that, Crow dived back into the water to swim home.

Just as soon as the clouds cleared, the moon shined brightly on the stone. Making it gleam and shine on Yusei. The merman's tail changed into legs once again. Yusei moaned and opened his tried eyes slightly. His body was badly wounded even though he had legs instead of a tail. Jack smiled at Yusei as he gazed at him weakly.

"J-Jack? D-id, did you save me?"

"Yes, don't worry Yusei, your safe now. Those monsters won't hurt you again. I'll take care of you until your healed." Jack told him in a comferting voice.

Yusei then looked down and noticed that he had legs. He tried to ask how, but his mind, was fading fast.

"H-how?"

"I'll explain later. For now, just sleep. I'll protect you." Jack wispered. Yusei smiled as he closed his eyes. Wispering softly as Jack carried him to the palace.

" Thank you Jack...Somehow, I knew you would come for me..."
