Chapter 4: Fun at the Beach

"Mom, can I go to the beach with Yami?" Yugi asked.
"I don't see why not. You're in good hands with Yami," Cindy responded.
Yugi and Yami walked outside. Yami picked up Yugi, spread his wings and flew off for the beach. The day was crystal clear with a few clouds, and the temperature was at a comfortable 72 degrees with low humidity. Yugi enjoyed the warmth of the sun as well as the wind flowing through his hair as Yami flew on. Yami smiled at Yugi's calmness of the beautiful day. Yami was at ease himself.
"I want to show you something before we arrive at the beach," Yami said.
"Okay," Yugi said.
Yami went higher into the sky. Fifteen minutes later, he was completely above the cloud barrier that couldn't be seen on the ground. Yugi was awestruck at the sight that awaited him. He felt the increased temperature because of how high they were. With them being more exposed to the sun, the temperature rose to 85 degrees.
"This is incredible Yami! I've never been this high up before," Yugi said.
"I'm glad you like being up here," Yami said as he flew on, carrying Yugi. He flew on above the cloud barrier for another hour before heading toward the beach. He arrived in half an hour. He had to backtrack because he passed the beach while he gave Yugi the experience of being very high in the sky. He landed and placed Yugi on his feet.
Usually, beaches are dingy and dirty. This one was a big exception. It used to be as dingy and dirty as most beaches were until the EPA had had enough. The EPA had petitioned to the government about it, and the government made a law to keep this beach clean. The sand waas free of all kinds of litter. There were also workers in the storm drains to keep litter, oil, etc. from going to the ocean.
Because of these changes, the beach was always clean. It had received the award for the cleanest beach in New York for 20 straight years. The ocean shimmered like a diamond in the sun. People would often take boat rides because they could see about 100 feet into the ocean water. The ocean was very deep so the only way to see through the darker areas was for you to be in the dark area with some kind of light source. This was Yugi's first time at any beach. He was really amazed by how clean that this one was. He heard about how the EPA had helped to make sure the beach stayed clean, but he didn't expect to see it this clean.
"This beach is incredible. I've never been to one before," Yugi said in amazement.
"I see that I picked the right one for you," Yami said.
Fortunately, no one else was there yet. Yami withdrew his wings, and he and Yugi just sat close to the shoreline. The waves were fairly small. Yugi and Yami removed their sandals and let the waves tickle their feet. Yugi laughed as the waves came under. He never thought that water could actually tickle him. The people began to arrive an hour later. They saw Yugi and Yami and smiled. Yugi and Yami had the right idea. A few surfers got out their boards and ran into the water. They paddled out to some of the larger waves adn surfed around the ocean.
"Those people are good," Yugi said as he watched them do stunts while having good balance on their surfboards.
"That's because those are professional surfers. They have been surfing for at least 10 years," Yami said.
"Can you surf?" Yugi asked.
"I never learned how to surf, but I can do something more amazing," Yami responded. He stood up and walked into the water. After a few minutes, he walked on top of the water (A/N: If you are a Christian, then you know that this refers to when Jesus walked on water). He walked a little further and stood on top of the water.
"You're very amazing," Yugi said.
"Do you want to join me?" Yami asked.
"Can I?" Yugi asked.
"Sure you can. Just walked to me," Yami responded.
Yugi walked out on the water. He saw he walked on top of the water. He loved being able to walk on the water. He reached Yami in a few minutes. "I still can't believe that I'm doing this," he said, "this is so incredible."
"I still think that this is incredible, even though I watched Jesus do it," Yami admitted. He took hold of Yugi's hand, and they walked on the ocean's surface together.
An hour later, Yami let go of Yugi's hand and started to water skate. Yami's quick and graceful movements enchanted Yugi. The waves in that area of the ocean were bigger than those closer to shore. While Yugi watched Yami water skate, he didn't see the big wave roaring toward him. The wave easily went over his head due to his small size.
The wave was practically on top of him when he did see it coming. He had no time to get out of the way in time and was pushed underwater by it. He swam back up to the surface only to have another wave push him back down. He bravely fought the waves, getting more drained of energy after each wave. After ten waves, his energy ran out, and he lost consciousness. He sank under the water as a result to being unconscious and the energy loss.
Meanwhile, Yami still had fun when he sensed Yugi's low energy. Yami dove into the water immediately. He swam down ferociously to bring Yugi back to the surface. He found Yugi and swam over to him. He wrapped an arm around Yugi and swam to the surface. Yami spread his wings and shot out of the water. A whirlpool of water came out with him before going back to its place a few seconds later.
Yami flew to the surface with Yugi. He made himself and Yugi invisible to all eyes. He landed on the surface in about forty-five minutes. He withdrew his wings and made himself and Yugi visible again. The people were very worried when they say Yugi unconscious. The lifeguard came to see if he could help out.
"I appreciate your concern and would love your help," Yami told the lifeguard. He laid Yugi flat on the sand.
"I'll do the chest compressions. After I do it five times, you breathe into him," the lifeguard said.
Yami nodded, and he and the lifeguard set to revive Yugi. It mostly took only five minutes for the CPR to work, but this case was a lot different. Yugi's energy was almost completely spent as well as him having a lot of water in his lungs. Half an hour later, there was still no pulse.
The lifeguard was losing hope but didn't give up. There was no way in the universe that Yami was going to give up. After the lifeguard pressed Yugi's chest five more times this time, Yai breathed some of his power into Yugi. That magical breath did it, and Yugi sat up while coughing out the water in his lungs. He swallowed quite a bit of the salty water and coughed it out for fifteen minutes.
"Are you all right child?" the lifeguard asked.
"I am now thanks to you and Yami," Yugi responded.
The other people were very relieved to see Yugi breathing again. They were scared out of their wits when he wasn't responded to the CPR.
"Thanks for your help Yami," the lifeguard said.
"It was no problem. I'd do just about anything to keep Yugi safe," Yami said. "What happened Yugi?" he added.
"I watched you have a good time. You had me so interested, that I didn't notice a big wave coming toward me until it was too late. I got pushed under and swam back up. The waves were merciless as they tried to drown me. I lost more energy each time I came up. After ten waves, I didn't have the energy to swim any further and sank below the surface," Yugi responded.
The people dispersed, leaving Yami and Yugi alone.
"I'm sorry Yugi. I should've watched the water. That was the second time you almost died so far," Yami said.
"What do you mean by second?" Yugi asked.
"Remember when Harry had you and your mother cornered that day?" Yami asked.
Yugi nodded.
"I was the one who made the gun disappear out of his hands. I was on the roof of your house but invisible so you or no one else could see me," Yami responded. "I want to show you another thing," he added.
"What is it?" Yugi asked.
"You'll find out soon," Yami responded as he scooped up Yugi. He ran into the water and dove under. "You can speak so don't worry," he added.
"How can I speak underwater?" Yugi asked.
"I'm using my powers on you," Yami responded.
Yugi nodded as they continued through the water. Yugi barely comprehended what he was seeing. There was another world under the ocean. All kinds of fish and sea animals swam by them. Yami let go of Yugi, and Yugi swam alongside Yami. Yugi started to have a deeper respect for the ocean now. They swam at a snail's pace to take in the sight of the world underwater.
They soon came to a ship graveyard. There were a bunch of sunken ships that decorated the ocean floor. Yugi swam into one with Yami close behind him. A few minutes later, they came to a treasure chest. Yami opened it, and they saw that the treasure was still inside. The treasure still shined even though it had sunk with the ship a long time ago.
"This is one thing to keep secret. Or else all the lowlifes wil try to get it," Yugi said.
"I'm good at keeping secrets. I will never tell anyone on this earth about this amazing find," Yami said.
They were unaware that a lone scuba diver followed them. The diver saw the treasure and went back to his friends to tell about the find. Yugi and Yami swam on. A group of lantern fish came to and swam with them. It was a good thing because the water started to get darker as they got further. The fish lit the way as they swam on. A while later, Yugi started to really slow down.
"You're getting tired," Yami said.
"Yes. I'm exhausted," Yugi said.
"I'll give you some assistance," Yami said as he called out in the dolphin language.
A lone dolphin came to them, responding to Yami's call. "What have you called me for?" it asked in its language as it bowed its head to him.
"I called you to request if you would give Yugi a ride on your back," Yami responded in English so Yugi could understand what the dolphin asked.
The dolphin nodded, and Yugi grabbed hold of its dorsal fin. The dolphin swam off with Yami and the lantern fish beside it. A few hours later, they saw shining lights of different colors.
"Where are all those lights coming from?" Yugi asked.
"You'll see Yugi. We're almost there now," Yami responded.
A few moments later, they came to the lights' source. It was a multi-colored coral reef with more lantern fish in it. The light from the lantern fish gave the reef its glamorous glow. Yugi couldn't have been more amazed of the ocean now.
"This, this is incredible!" Yugi exclaimed in amazement.
"I knew you would like it," Yami said. "This is the most beautiful part of the Atlantic Ocean. I wanted to show you this before we headed back to your house. It will be nightfall when we get back there."
Yugi got a good look at the glowing reef. An hour later, Yami scooped up Yugi and spread his wings. Then he flew out of the water and back for Yugi's house. Again he made himself and Yugi invisible to all eyes. The sun started to set two hours later. Yugi got another good look of the city at night.
"Seeing the city like this at night probably will never cease to amaze me," Yugi said.
"It always amazes me," Yami said as he flew on. He arrived at Yugi's house a few hours after the sun had set and landed on the doorstep. He withdrew his wings, set Yugi down and made them visible again.
Cindy and Roger were on the porch.
"Did you have a good time son?" Cindy asked.
"Yes I did. Yami showed me the underwater life. He made it so I could breathe underwater. We saw all kinds of fish, but the most amazing thing was how the lantern fish made the coral reef glow. The reef shone all kinds of colors. I was never so amazed in my life," Yugi responded.
"You truly are a blessing Yami. You have kept our son safe and given him good experiences. If only you could stay," Roger said.
"I am going to stay. I will stay until it is Yugi's time to leave this planet. Then he will join the other angels and me in heaven. But that isn't for a long time so let's just take things one step at a time," Yami said.
They went inside, and Yugi, Cindy and Roger had dinner together. It was 9:30 so Yugi had an hour and a half to relax in his room. He pondered over the amazing things that Yami had shown him so far: the Statue of Liberty, the amazing secrets that the ocean hides, what it's like to be above the clouds, and more. At 11 pm, Yugi got in his bed and prepared to go to dreamland. "Good night Yami," he said before falling asleep.
"Good night Yugi," Yami said as he watched over Yugi. 'I also enjoyed the time I had with you. I will do all that I can to keep you safe and out of harms way. I have a feeling that tomorrow won't be so peaceful like today,' he thought.
