Jack and Yusei woke up around 11:45, getting plenty of rest. They both got up, dressed and then went to the dinning hall. Jack found it was interesting to see Yusei try hot soup for the first time. He burned his mouth after taking a big sip of it right away. Jack figured Yusei never had anything that was hot to eat or drink before. Once he allowed it to cool though, Yusei found he enjoyed it.

Jack then showed Yusei around the palace after they ate. Introducing him to his family along way. Yusei was amazed with everything that he had seen. There was the art collection, the libray and the ballroom which had a blacony with a wonderful veiw of the ocean.

Yusei was most taken by the castle garden was surrounded by a wall of the castle that had vines growning up over the side. A huge gazibo was at one end of the garden. Decorated with ivy that had wrapped itself around the pillers. There was a huge cherry tree and oak tree in a middle with a large fountian. There were rows after rows of roses, tulips, daisies, mums, sunflowers, bleeding hearts and many others.

It was the most beautiful thing Yusei had ever seen in his life. Nothing could compare to the feeling he felt at that moment. Jack smiled as he watch Yusei wonder around. His eyes were wide with curiosity as to what each flower was. Taking in their different smells and colors. Each one more beautiful than the last.

"This is amazing Jack! I can't believe how beautiful it is." Yusei said in excitment.

"I'm glad you like this. My mother loves this place. When I was little,this was the first place I'd look for her. I would enjoy running around out here. Climbing trees, watching the clouds go by. Whenever I had to study I do that under the shade of that gaint oak tree. When the cherry blossoms come, it's wonderful." Jack said in fondness.

Yusei understood that Jack was telling him all this because it was special to him. The fact that Jack wanted to share this place with Yusei made him feel so warm inside. Jack then took Yusei by the hand. He lead him to the oak tree so the two could sit under it together. Yusei smiled as he leaned on Jack's shoulder and closed his eyes. Enjoying the peacefulness around them.

A moment later Yusei heard Jack laughing softly. He opened his eyes to find that a blue butterfly had decided to land on his nose.

"Uh, hello?" Yusei said to strange winged creature.

Making Jack laugh once more as Yusei watched the butterfly cross eyed.

"That's a butterfly Yusei. Don't worry, it's harmless. Merly curious about you is all." Jack said as he placed his finger next to Yusei's nose.

"Come on now, you'll go flying if my friend sneezes while you sit on his nose." Jack teased.

Making the butterfly jump off Yusei's nose and onto his finger. Jack turned to smile at Yusei as the butterfly flapped it's wings before flying away. They laughed and continued to talk for the rest of the afternoon. The two sat in the garden, enjoying one anothers company as the warm wind blew by. They didn't come back inside until dinner. They had a great meal together with Jack's famliy.

The whole scene was warm. Just like Yusei's family was.

Everything was just perfect that day.

Yet Yusei realized that he was have to get down to bussiness if he wanted to stay with Jack like this. So after everyone went to bed, Yusei went to the beach and met up with Crow. He had a pink colored orb with him that glowed brightly.

"Like I said this comes with a risk. This orb can make you human permanetly if you confess your love to Jack by tomarrow. If he does, there will be a surge of power that will go through your body to change you compelty. If he excepts, you'll be human. But if he refuses, your body will crumble and your soul will be sucked into the orb. You sure about this?" Crow asked after he finished.

"I'll do it Crow. I want the chance to be with Jack for the rest of my life." Yusei said bravely.

He took the orb from Crow and aborbed it into his body.

"You have to tell him by tomarrow, or the spell will turn you into a mermaid again and erase both your memories. Good luck, man." Crow said before returning home.

Yusei headed back to castle to get some sleep. He changed into some pajamas, which was a tad difficult but he figured it out. Yusei was about to crawl into bed until he heard a knock at the door. He open it to find Jack, standing there looking conserned.

"Are you alright? I watch you come in from the blacony in my room." Jack commented as he walked in.

"Yeah, I'm fine Jack. I just wanted to watch moon at the beach is all." Yusei answered.

The two then sat on the bed together in silents until Yusei spoke.

"Jack, I thought you were sleeping."

"I can't. For some reason I feel like I should worry about you. I know. We haven't known each other that long, but I really care about you, Yusei." Jack said softly.

Yusei then grabbed Jack's hand and leaned against his shoulder like he did earlier. Glad that Jack was so kind and caring towards him.

"You don't have to worry, Jack. I'm fine. How could I not be after the way you took care of me?" Yusei asked, noticing that he was getting tried.

"Yes, your right. It's just..." Jack paused before Yusei looked up at him in question.

"Just what, Jack?"

"I had this dream last night. Right before I woke up and went to the beach to find you in danger. You and I were together under the ocean. You asked me something but before I could answer, fire quickly surrounded us both. You were calling to me for help and there was nothing I could do. I woke up right after that." Jack explained.

"Wow...so you had this dream right before you came to save me?" Yusei asked.

"Yes, it was almost as if that dream was telling me you were in trouble. I'm only glad I got to you in time. Yusei, would you mind, if I stayed the night with you again? " Jack asked afterwards.

"Course not. I was actully hoping you could." Yusei said with a smile on his face.

Jack turned out the lights and the two snuggled under the covers. Jack held Yusei close to him and smiled when he felt Yusei returned his embrace. Jack then wispered before drifting off to sleep.

"I'll protect you, Yusei...always."

Yusei smiled happly at hearing those words. Perhaps he would be able to confess to him. He knew he had too. Jack ment too much to him. Yusei didn't want to lose the memories they had together. He would do anything to be with Jack. Yusei loved him that much. Jack was warm, kind, strong and willing to protect those that ment alot to him.

Thinking of all the things that made Jack wonderful help put Yusei's mind at ease. Snuggling closer to Jack as he too, fell asleep.

SOTP: Yes! Another chap done! And in one day! Awesome! Read and reveiw please!
