Ch. 1

Trouble in the Sea

Love is a beautiful thing. How do I know? Because I lived with a human for more than 20 years out of my 300 years I have to live. I laughed, cried and at the end; it was all worthwhile. I'm getting way too far ahead of myself… I should start off at the beginning like most stories do. Sorry about that.

Anyway, if you don't know my name; it's Mairena but I go by Mai for short. I have long wavy blonde hair that I always have pulled into a dolphin tail (or as humans call it a ponytail, still don't get the concept), long silver hoop earrings (my personal trademark by the way) and I never leave home without putting my makeup on (lipstick included). I have 7 sisters, Téanna, Miho, Serenity, Ishizu, Rebecca, Mana and Kisara. Téanna is the eldest while I'm the youngest. Big family right? Don't ask why; it's complicated… Now to the story…

It started on a June morning. A ship came along. Of I never miss a chance to display my lovely singing voice as do my sisters. A teenage human dressed in some weird clothes threw a bucket of oil on me. I will never forget the thing he said to me that very day.

"Shut up you wretched whores of the sea! You disgust me!"

A little boy soon said: "Seto, who are you talking to?" The man known as Seto pointed at us with a very angry glare; like he wanted to kill us. "Those sea whores, Mokuba." he finally responded. "Seto, those are mermaids." the boy reasoned with him. "Don't you know that when a sailor sees them it means death?" Seto angrily asked.

"Kaiba, whadya moanin' about dis time?!"

"That's MR. KAIBA you mongrel mutt, and it's nothing that concerns you. Now get back to steering the ship, monkey boy!"

"Why I odda-!"

"Move your ass or you're fired!"

"Ya can't fire me, 'cause I quit!"

Glad I don't have any brothers… Ishizu thought. The unthinkable happened; the ship crashed into a dock. Every one of us went to rescue them. When Seto woke up, he only got angrier. A few of his men died and he blamed us for it. In retaliation, he grabbed Serenity and started to beat her in the face with a rock. I didn't want to believe it, but it was true; he killed Serenity right before our very eyes. "What did you--" Rebecca started but was cut off by Seto.

"Shut up or I'll do the same thing to you!" Seto screeched. "But we--" Miho tried to plead. "I said 'SHUT YOU DAMN MOUTHS'!! If you speak one more word; I will slice your vocal cords right out of your jugulars and slice off your tongues off with this conveniently placed sharp serrated knife!!" he screeched at the top of his lungs.

We swam away, there was nothing we could do to convince him that we saved their lives. Mother soon asked us what happened when we got home. We told her everything, how that monster Seto "Kaiba" killed Serenity. Mother soon placed her arm around my shoulder and held my tight.

"Some humans just don't want to understand us." Mother replied. "Time will pass on and one day, humans and sea nymphs will be able to live together." Mother always told us that, but sometimes I really wondered if it would really happen.
