AteKake: I had writer's block and finally found something to write about! Recently went to Disneyland, causing me to write this.
The Japanese coast shimmered, due to the now rising sun. It was now Yami's first time to sail his fishing boat by himself.
Yami was a teenage boy, about 18 years old. He was raised in a small fishing village. He had learned about fishing from his father, who had just recently died from drowning from the most known stories to all fishermen, a mermaid.
Remember Yami, those creatures will do anything to kill a man. Don't ever underestimate them. Even though they're beautiful, they act like the devil himself. It's really rare for there to be a male mermaid, so they're almost all female. They'll trick you and try and eat you, if you don't know, their favorite treat are men. Be careful my son, if you ever spot one, make sure to have a harpoon near you to ensure your safety.
Yami looked at the back of his fishing boat. A pure silver harpoon was at the back, he gave a sigh of relief, "Thank God. I at least have a chance of living if a mermaid does find me."
Yami caught about half a net full of fish. "I think that will be enough to sell." Yami headed towards the dock spotting something splashing around in a net.
"Hm, I wonder what that is." He sailed toward the dock where the splashing was and stopped in front of the splashing.
Yami's eyes opened, shocked at the site in front of him. A teenager, about the age of 16 was trying to wriggle his way out of the net. Not only was it a boy who looked a lot like Yami, same spikey black hair with crimson tips and blond bangs. His eyes were amethyst, a beautiful shade of purple.
Yami, looked at the struggling boy, he didn't seem to notice Yami at all because of the struggle he had with the net. Yami then noticed, a fish tail, a light blue color, but aqua green at the fin.
Yami quietly stepped back and grabbed the harpoon. The mermaid heard the sound that Yami made while grabbing the harpoon and stopped struggling, watching the older boy's every move.
Yami froze, looking at the frightened mermaid. He noticed a few tears in his eyes, and running slowly down his face. Yami just stared at the boy. Yami then brought the harpoon down causing the mermaid to flinch.
The net was cut in half, freeing the teenage mermaid. He then realized that he was free and darted forward, trying to make sure that Yami didn't follow him. He stopped for a second, thinking for a little bit, and then turning towards Yami.
He looked into Yami's crimson eyes and bowed, in respect and to thank Yami. He smiled then dove into the water.
Yami was dumbfounded at the site of the mermaid. He thought that any chance that a mermaid had to kill a man, it would take. Yami just stared at the spot where it had disappeared. Maybe it's just the girl mermaids who act like that. Yami thought to himself.
AteKake: Sorry it's a quick chapter, couldn't really find any detail to put in except the fact of Yami and I think you know who. (giggle). Anyway, review and tell me how I did!
