Chapter 1- Green Eyes....Wet Kisses
Warm water caressed the girl's flawless body. Hugging every curve, every inch. She was greeted warmly by a world on deep blue welcoming her. It beckoned her deeper into its depths, calling to her, begging for her to swim on. She obliged, curiosity consuming her and the warmth of the world pushing her on. Her long blond hair swirled around her in a golden curtain and her violet eyes remained focused ahead.
"Mai...." came a bare whisper. Where did it come from? Who was it? It was so warm.....so familiar...
"Mai..." She swam on, determined to discover what it was. Shimmering fish glided gracefully by, tempting her to touch them. Bright coral and flowers surrounded her flashing their smiling color. She paused only to take in the beautiful sight. She watched fish and other various creatures swirling in and out around the coral and enenimies. The atmosphere was so warm, so welcoming, she almost wished she could stay forever.....
"Mai...." came the whisper again; louder this time. She was almost there! She reluctantly tore her eyes from her surroundings and swam on. A wall of shadowed, restricting rock appeared before her, blocking her path.
"Mai...." Louder! It was behind the obstacle! She was almost there! Narrowing her eyes in determination, she placed her hands on the rock and propelled herself over. A burst of color greeted her. Coral sparkled and large flowers gently swished in the light current. Perched on a smooth rock covered in small flowers was a person. mal from what she could see. When he turned around and lifted himself from his seat, she gasped. he was bare-chested, showing off his medium build and muscle. But....from the waist down...he had a tail! A fish's tail! Her amethyst eyes widened as she stared at the glittering green scales that covered the powerful tail ending in the sharp curve of fins similar to a dolphin's. Her eyes moved back up his body t his face. It was very good-looking, with a warm smile and sharp green eyes. His short, light green hair swirled slightly and a necklace of what appeared to be shark teeth hung around his neck.
"Mai." he said warmly, smiling at her. Mai felt her heart skip a beat as he did. Why? Why did she feel this way? He was not known to her....he...he wasn't real...was he? Then the smiling merman gave a small kick of his tail and he was propelled lightly towards her. She was frozen. Caught in time, stuck in that spot. then the green eyed man lifted his hands to either side of her face and brought her into a soft kiss. When he pulled back he gave her another warm smile.
"Arigatou.....for the kiss....Mai...." he said. Then he began to fade. *No! Wait!* Mai thought reaching out for him. *Who are you....?* But he was gone, a dim light appeared and as she strained forward to see it, it got brighter and her eyes parted, the morning sun creeping its way to her violet pools....
Mai sat up in bed and stared wildly around. She was in her sunlit apartment wrapped in her cream blankets. She stared around breathing hard, almost as if she didn't recognize her own room. She blinked, calming herself down and glanced over at the clock on her nightstand. It read ten o'clock. She sighed and got out of bed, the form of the handsome merman still clear in her mind.....
