Chapter 1: The Mysterious Meeting

It was a peaceful day on one of the Philippine Islands. The sun was out and the sea was calm. Yugi lived in a house with his grandfather Solomon Moto. Solomon owned a fishing warehouse. Yugi was 14-years old, but his size made him look only 7. He also had childish purple eyes. He also had black, gold and red hair and pale skin. He loved the sea, even though he didn't know how to swim. He would go fishing with his grandfather from time to time. He was pretty good at it. His grandfather taught him, and he ended up catching more fish than his grandfather every time they went fishing.
Things were great on the island for them. They were even safe from the weather. Their house was away from the pier and on high ground so it wouldn't be damaged by a flood. In case of a hurricane or any form of bad weather, their house was built out of sturdy concrete.
One day, Yugi and his grandfather went for a relaxing boat ride aboard one of the fishing boats. The weather started off quiet enough. Yugi and his grandfather were above deck.
"This is a nice day," Yugi said.
"Yes it is," Solomon agreed.
A few hours later, the boat hit unexpected turbulence.
Another fisherman said, "We're steering right into a Category 3 hurricane."
Before anyone could react, the waves got very rough. The boat rocked back and forth, as if threatening to throw the crew overboard. Then it happened. Yugi was thrown overboard when a monster wave crashed into the ship.
"Yugi!" Solomon shouted.
The waves were too rough to attempt a rescue. Yugi got pushed farther and farther away from the boat. Soon, he was no longer in sight. The only good thing about all of this is that he didn't have to swim as the rough waves just pushed him further out to sea.
He was at the mercy of the rough sea all day. That night, he was thrown roughly on a rock. He looked up and saw an island. He attempted to get up, but that hard landing made him sit back down. He felt himself and found out that his pelvis was broken. He didn't give up though. He painfully crawled until he found a nearby cave. He crawled inside and fell asleep next to a river.
An hour later, something surfaced from the river. It saw Yugi by the river and swam over for a closer look. The cave was lit perfectly, even at night. It gasped when it saw him. He looked almost just like it. It came out of the water and watched him through the night.
The next morning, Yugi awakened to a better day. He heard the birds singing outside. He sat up in extreme pain. The thing watched him moving around in pain. For some reason, it felt the need to protect him and be there to comfort him.
It followed him slowly and very quietly. Slowly and painfully but surely, Yugi made it out of the cave. He was at the edge of a large cliff. The pain in his side was overwhelming. It was so overwhelming, that he fell over the edge and into the water below. The pain and the fact that he couldn't swim were a double whammy as he sank deeper into the deep water.
The thing that secretly followed him dove into the water. It swam quickly and gently wrapped a strong arm around him. It swam to the surface and brought him onshore. It turned him over on his side and saw the dented skin. It gently put its hand on his side and let its magic flow through.
A few seconds later, it dove back into the water. Yugi woke up to find himself on land. He slowly sat up to find that he was no longer in pain. He felt his side to see that it was mysteriously healed.
'How did I get here? The last thing I remember is falling into the water. And how did my side get healed?' he thought. He walked back to the cave. He was surprised to find fruit on a blanket inside. 'Someone other than me must be here,' he thought.
He ate the fruit. He thought it was quite good. What he didn't know was that the thing climbed some fruit trees near the cave. It was watching him from the shadows. It was almost ready to reveal itself to him. Half an hour later, Yugi went for a walk around the island. The thing secretly followed him. Yugi walked unaware that he was being followed by the thing that saved him, healed him and provided food for him. An hour later, a big grizzly bear confronted him. He stood still, but the bear got into attack position and charged for him.
Before the bear could run Yugi over, an arm wrapped itself around him and pulled him into the bushes. A few moments later, Yugi found himself holding his breath underwater. The bear went back the way it came, and the thing surfaced with Yugi. Yugi was put onshore as the thing came up after him.
The first thing he saw was a black and white tail; like you would see on an Orca. He looked up further to see that the creature looked virtually just like him. Besides the tail, the only differences were that it had gold streaks in it's tri-colored hair, was about a foot taller than him although it was sitting down with him, and its purple eyes looked more mature. It also had tanned skin.
"Who and what are you?" Yugi asked.
"My name is Yami, and I am a merman prince," the creature responded in a deeper voice.
Yugi looked at the bottom half of Yami's body to find the tail gone. In the place of his tail was a pair of black and white jeans. He looked back up to see that Yami now had a white T-shirt on.
"Oh, and I can also become human," Yami added.
"If you're a merman prince, why are you here?" Yugi asked.
"I was forced to leave my kingdom for the safety of my people," Yami responded.
"Care to tell me what happened?" Yugi asked.




I'll end it here. Well, should I go on, or should I stop? Preview for Chapter 2: Getting to know You: Yugi and Yami tell each other about themselves. Yugi tells Yami how he got on the island, and Yami tells Yugi about saving him when he fell into the lake, healing him, and providing food for him.
