[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Tea waded down the hallway, the water now up to her waist. The lights had already gone out a half an hour ago, so she felt around for a doorknob. Once she found one she pushed it open. "MOKUBA!" She heard something. "Tea?" It was Yugi. He was sitting on a desk just above the water in a dark shadow of the room. Tea squinted to see him. "Oh Tea..." Yugi said dazed.
"Common, we need to go." Tea urged.
"First tell me what is going on, I can't stand you acting this way towards me, please Tea.” He pleaded.
"NO! Just get over here or I swear to God I'll leave you here to drown." she glared. Yugi slid off of the shelf and into the water. He walked over to her and looked at her. "What." she said dryly.
"Lets find everybody else...” he seemed disappointed and he stalked off down the hall. Tea followed.
Yugi and Tea reached the exit of the ship and looked down the other hall. Joey had Mai in his arms and Duke walked along next to Ishizu. "YUGE!" Joey screeched happily. "I thought you were fish food buddy."

"But what about you." Duke stammered as he freed one of his arms to grab Yugi's coat. "Just go...I HAVE to find Tea." he too took off splashing and tripping. Ishizu nudged Duke up the stairs. "Don't worry, something tells me Yugi will be fine, and we need to get up there, the water is coming up quickly." she said. Duke followed her order and walked out into the night, but he was thinking about Serenity. He sat Mai down in a secure place and began searching the blowing ocean for signs of help. "I don't see anything...,” he said. "Nobody knows we're here, it's hopeless." he finished. He looked over at Ishizu. Her head turned away, she then looked at him, her eyes dark. "Somebody does..."
