Pulling the rope ladder with Tristen mainly being the muscle but Yugi and Tea helping anyway till Joey and the brunette were at the edge, Yugi pulled Joey with wrapping his arms around the taller blonde's accessible arm and pulling him surprisingly aboard where as Tristen pulled the stranger aboard as well. Yugi though used all the strength he had had Joey on top of his when the boy felt himself lose balance. Once Joey was on top of Yugi involuntarily, he began to cough and away from Yugi. Coughing up the water that was within his lungs, he slowly began to rise to his hands and knees looking at a blurry version of his friend. "Y-Yugi..?" 

Yugi nodded slowly though the shock of his friend almost drowning was still in his mind and soon scurried to his knees and hug his tall friend. "You idiot...Don't do that again!" Yugi scolded. Joey gave a weak chuckle as he slowly sat with Yugi having removed himself. 

"B-but I had to do something, those cards meant a lot to ya." Joey told him of which Yugi shook his head. "It's okay Joey. They do mean alot to me but not when it can possibly lose a friend." Yugi reasoned as he took the three cards that he managed to scavage up from the sea. Yugi and Joey looked both to the stranger as the she demon looked the genie and smiled as she bowed her head to her. The young boy smiled sheepishly as he went up to the two best friends. The two smiled back. "Thanks for the save out there." Joey told the boy of seemed to smile even more sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck. "It's alright. Just doing what I could. Weevil was being the creep. You gonna be alright?" Asked the boy of whom analyzed Joey who was shivering with the cold air. "Y-yeah...S-some dry clothes would be nice." He admitted with a cheeky grin. Joey though had something dawn on him. The blonde looked to Yugi and Tristen, tea getting towels. "Guys, this is Jaden, he traded some cards with me earlier." Yugi smiled as nodded to Jaden. Tristen helped Joey to his feet and getting him inside. "Good to meet you Jaden. Thank you." Yugi though noticed as the she demon walked over to Jaden who was shivering. [i]'Jaden, you need to go inside as well.'[/i] Jaden laughed nervously and walked with Yugi inside. 

Yugi didn't not notice it but Yami had noticed the whole spectical that occurred and though Yugi was destressed, there was no need to intervene. He did take not that if Yugi was to face Weevil than he would make sure the punk paid for hurting Yugi like he did. But then was not the time and the kid known as Jaden seemed to have handled it for now and even helped out which he was very grateful for. [i]'It is quite alright Shadow. I saw no need to intervene. It seems we may have an ally, maybe even a friend.'[/i]

Inside, and with Jaden and Joey dried off and with dry clothes, the group sat in their own little space on the ship, Yugi watched Jaden fuss with his deck while the She-demon watched when while relaxing as she sat against the wall with her wings wrapped around her like a cloak. [i]'Jaden are quite unique such as I. My name is Yubel, Jaden Yuki's Spirit Protector.'[/i] Yubel introduced. Yugi glanced in Yubel's direction with a smile then looking to his friend who Joey was telling what was going on. Jaden grinned. "You must be Yugi Motou, the new Duelist that took on Seto Kaiba. Congrats on that." Yugi blushed with the complement that he received, flustered. "Thanks. I uh...I didn't do it alone." 

Jaden nodded. "I noticed. Quite the monster you have there." Yugi was surprised. "Y-you can see her?" 

Jaden grinned sheepishly at his question. "Yep! Always been able to see Duel monster spirits since I was a little kid." Jaden told him. "Seeing as how you know who your Duel monster Spirit is, you can see mine?" 

Yugi nodded. "I can. I'm surprised I can. I thought all I could see was Shadow." Jaden was instantly interested. "Shadow huh? Nice to meet you. Name's Jaden Yuki!"
