Prologue, Prologue, Prologue, YAY

Life went on as normal after they came back from the swamp. Upon returning to school, they never spoke of the swamp at all. Yuuta got the new car with a GPS that he wanted, Seitaro continued receiving high marks, Yuka didn't feel cold anymore, and Rin continued acting like her tomboyish self. She completely failed to be and/or remain traumatized by what happened, even directly afterwards; of course, she was slightly overprotective Yuka now; and she got a beautiful new necklace with 6 jewels on it, from left to right following a small, silver chain. From left to right, the gems were as follows: Aquamarine, Amazonite, Smoky Quartz, Black Onyx, White Jade, and a Moonstone - no one knew where she got it, though. A year passed, and everybody was happy.

Or so it seemed to be.

But what could be wrong? Everyone and everything seemed just fine.

Well, I might have an idea of what happened, but why don't we go see for ourselves and clear it up?

Well, the school year had been going just great so far. It was now late fall, and everyone was in their classes and doing their work. Typical day, right? Well, if you asked just about anybody in the school, including Rin herself, everything was fine. But if you asked either Seitaro, Yuuta, or Yuka, they would say, 'It's fine, but'. And then it goes downhill. Rin began to continuously find herself in a daze, not remembering what happened, and had quieted a bit. Of course, Rin herself hadn't really noticed. If you asked her, she would say that she never really paid attention to begin with. Despite Rin's nature, though, if you asked any of her classmates, they would say that she actually does pay attention, even if she doesn't understand what is being taught.

By early winter, Rin began to excuse herself more and more often from classes, sometimes not even showing up for some classes classes, sometimes even skipping a day altogether.

But if someone questioned her, she would just say 'I just didn't feel well that day,' or something.

So her friends kept asking her, but she kept brushing it off. Saying she had no idea what was going on. Time passed, and nothing really happened other than what was going on with Rin.

Until one day Rin excused herself from the class to go to the restroom, and Yuka, honest-to-honest Yuka, went into the restroom as well, and you know what she found?

She found Rin, kneeling in front of the sink, head in the sink, mumbling to herself in a shaky voice. On first instinct, Yuka left the room as quietly as she could, then darting through the halls back to the classroom, and Rin entered the classroom, almost at the exact same time, her necklace now having 2 pearls, one to the left of the Aquamarine and one to the right of the Moonstone.

Which spiked some more curiosity.

But, of course, this is only the prologue. I can't tell you too much, can I? It's not as though I'm putting everything into one chapter. So... Prologue end!

I OWN NOTHING PEOPLES

So, when I was thinking about 'Shadows Within', a Fruits Basket fanfiction I'm working on, and I was think about whimsical stuffs... So first I thought I would do it for 'Shadows Within', then I thought I would make a Fairy Tail fanfiction about it that wasn't 'Gehenna Spawn', and then it just let me on a wild goose chase... and then I remembered that all stories are unique so I can't make 3 stories with the same plot from different animes. So I was looking at pictures of Rin Okumura, when pictures of Rin Yamazaki began to show up, and I was like... *gasp*. So, here it is. I also noticed that there were no fanfictions for Mermaid Swamp. But I did check the authors that didn't want their works fanfiction...-ed... So I'm pretty sure that I CAN make a Mermaid Swamp fanfiction.. But enough rambling. Hope ya enjoyed.

Das vedania!
