Now, on with the fanfic!)

Chapter 2

The boat trip to Zack Island was about roughly two or three days, so Yugi and the other passengers had plenty of time to explore the ship. The next morning, Yugi woke up and found himself in paradise. "Last night wasn't a dream! I'm actually here!", he told himself as he saw himself surrounded by expensive and luxurious items, himself wrapped in white silk covers. He got out of bed, got dressed in his a fresh blue shirt and black short jeans, and went outside to explore the ship. He went out onto the deck, greeting the warm morning sun that had risen up. He breathed in deeply the fresh spray of the sea, the wind gently caressing his face and body. "Ahh. This is going to be sweet!", he said to himself as he went out to explore some more. He saw that the main deck had a large swimming pool, complete with a diving board! Deck chairs littered all around the pool area, making it a very rich atmosphere. "Well, it is warm this morning. I guess a little dip won't hurt.", he reasoned as he headed back to his room. While walking, he accidentally bumped into another person. "Sorry about that.", Yugi apologized to the person while rubbing his head. He opened his eyes, and saw that he was staring into the face of a very beautiful girl. He recognized her instantly. It was Kasumi!

"Its okay.", she told him. Her voice was sweet and melodious, like an angel's voice. Her beauty entranced Yugi. She was wearing a pink sleeveless shirt, blue shorts, and wearing pink sandals. Her age seemed to be around 18 or 19, maybe a year older then Yugi. He shook his head to snap back to reality and replied blushing, "Sorry about that.". She smiled and said, "Its alright. I really get a lot of that sometimes.". She then inquired, "What are you doing here? I was told that Zack only gave out invitations to the girls who participated in the previous Dead Or Alive Tournaments.". He was mildly surprised that Zack would invite only the girls of DOA. He shook his head and answered, "Well, your cousin Tsunami gave me her invitation. Sort of as a present to me after we graduated from Domino High.". Kasumi was very much surprised to hear that her cousin was handed an invitation. She concealed it well and said, "I'm glad to hear that you two graduated. Congratulations!". Yugi blushed at the compliment and replied, "Thank you.". Kasumi then asked, "By the way, why were you in such a hurry?". Yugi told her that he wanted to take a dip in the pool. She smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I was going over to the pool myself, not to swim but to relax on the deck chairs.". She then asked, "Want me to accompany you?". He eagerly nodded his head, and dashed over to his room. It took only a few minutes for him to get in the room, get undressed and into his trunks, grab a towel, and head back outside with Kasumi. "Let's go!", he exclaimed and the two took off. As they walked, Kasumi and Yugi talked. She asked his name, his age, and also a bit about his life.

Yugi jumped into the pool, having the enthusiasm of a ten-year old. Kasumi giggled at the sight of Yugi acting like that, slightly amazed that a teenager of his age should have the innocence and trusting nature of a child. She was also surprised on how Yugi's life was. "Magical items, ancient spirit king of Egypt who lived inside and taking over body, monster cards coming to life, avoiding maniacs who wanted his soul and power, going into virtual and Shadow realms? This young man has a very exciting life!", she told herself. She was lying on a nearby deck chair, relaxing and watching Yugi splash around. "Its so warm!", he exclaimed as he swam around. Kasumi was getting slightly drowsy and was about to doze off when she heard a familiar voice call out, "Hey, Kasumi!". She turned her head to the right and saw her old friend Lei Fang coming her way. She was wearing an orange bikini suit, orange sandals, and had her hair in the same two loop braids she always wore. She was about 19 years old, a year older then Yugi. Beside her was another girl, one that Kasumi did not recognize. She had short brown hair, blue eyes, and also fair skin. She looked to be around 18 years old, exactly Yugi's age! "Hey, Lei Fang. Good to see you again.", Kasumi replied as her friend sat down next to her. "Same here! Oh, I would like to introduce an old friend of mine.", Lei Fang said.

The other girl sat down next to Lei Fang and shook Kasumi's hand. "Nice to meet you, Kasumi. My name is Hitomi.", the girl greeted friendly. Kasumi had to smile because Hitomi had the same cheerfulness and energy as Lei Fang. The three lay down beside each other on nearby deck chairs, then it was with an excited yell from Yugi that got the two visitors attention. He had just jumped off the diving board and did a cannonball. "Hey, who is that cutie?", Lei Fang asked. Kasumi sat up abruptly, never hearing Lei Fang saying any guy was cute. "His name is Yugi Moto, a teenager from Domino City.", she told her friend. Hitomi inquired, "Why is he here? I was told that…". Kasumi interrupted her, "I know that. But, it seems my cousin Tsunami gave him her invitation as a graduation present. So, that's why he is here.". Lei Fang started to look Yugi over, as did Hitomi. Both sported a small smile and Lei Fang said, "He's very cute. Not to mention handsome.". Hitomi agreed with her, and Kasumi just had to chuckle at that. 'I don't blame them. He is rather handsome.', she told herself. She shook her head slightly and looked towards her two companions. "Listen, there is something about Yugi I feel you must know.", she told them seriously. They turned their attention away from the young man to their ninja friend. "What is it?", Hitomi asked.

~Twenty minutes later~

Yugi had gone out of the pool, and was ready to join Kasumi in relaxing a bit. When he saw that she had company and was talking, he didn't want to interrupt. "Well, I'll just leave a note saying on where I've gone.", he said to himself. Grabbing a nearby pen and piece of sticky notepaper, he wrote on it and stuck it to his chair. He then left, towel in hand to explore the rest of the ship. Kasumi had now finished telling her friends everything Yugi had just told her. "Wow! That is some adventure Yugi went through!", Lei Fang exclaimed. Hitomi added, "I'll say! Yugi just went through something I'm not sure to have survived!". Kasumi chuckled and said, "I agree. Same with me too. I think there is something special about that young man.". A voice called out, "And you believe all that?!". Kasumi looked behind her, and the three friends were now looking at two other women. The first had light blonde hair, a ponytail in the back held in place by a blue ribbon. She was wearing a pink one-piece swimsuit, with white musical notes and bars imprinted on. She had ice-blue eyes, fair skin, an elegant face, and carried a dignified air around her. She looked to be about 21 years of age. It was Helena, an acquaintance of Lei Fang some time ago.

The other had short purple hair, a black headband encircling her head. Her eyes were a fierce crimson, her skin light and fair. She was wearing a one-piece dark purple swimsuit. She looked to be exactly Kasumi's age. "Hello, Ayane.", Kasumi said dryly. Her half-sister had always tried to best her at everything, one time trying to kill her. Now, the assassin was having a two-week vacation. Ayane glared mildly at Kasumi and replied in the same manner, "Hello to you two, Kasumi.". Helena decided to break the ice. "You three really don't believe on what that kid has done?!", she inquired. Kasumi nodded her head, as did her other two friends. The two ladies just laughed at this. "Kasumi, you are losing your touch if you believe what he just told you!", Ayane stated while laughing. Kasumi stood up and replied, "I believe he is telling the truth!". Helena asked, "What makes you believe that he is telling the truth?". The ninja looked directly into their eyes and answered, "I saw the honesty and sincerity in his eyes. Besides, he does not need a reason to just lie to me like that.". Hitomi looked around the poolside and asked, "Hey, where is Yugi anyway?". Lei Fang saw the sticky note on Yugi's chair, beside Helena. She went over and took the yellow paper, reading it. "Hmm. It seems Yugi left.", she told them. She explained, from the note that Yugi did not want to disturb their conversation. So, he left to explore the rest of the ship. "Pretty considerate guy.", Helena noted. Kasumi got up and said to the women, "Let's go find him. I want to introduce him to all of you.". With that said, they all left to look for the young former Duelist.

~Back in Domino~

Solomon was very distraught. He had come home late last night, and went straight to bed. He reasoned that Yugi was home, and asleep in his room. This morning, when he went to his room to wake his grandson up, he saw that the room was empty. All that was left was a note, and he became very upset. "Why would Yugi ever go to this island and tournament?!", he asked himself as he was holding tightly a cup of steaming coffee. Yami was no up, yawning as he came down the stairs. "Hello, Solomon.", he greeted lazily. He then saw the sadness in his eyes and went over to see what was wrong. "Solomon, what is wrong?", he asked. Solomon handed the note to Yami, and as the Pharaoh read it, he was soon angry. "Why would Yugi do such a foolish thing?!", he exclaimed. Before Solomon could even make a reply, Yami ran upstairs to change. He was going to get the gang together, and figure out a way to bring Yugi back home.

(Author's Notes: So, how was this?

Yugi: It seems short, to me.

Darien: (Sighs) I know. But, DJ's on borrowed time here. So, I hope the reviewers understand.

DJ: Again, tell me who you want Yugi to be paired up with!

R&R, no flames, and enjoy!)
