What if after that special encounter when two different worlds got collided together happened unlike you thought.

The young princess and the little boy kept in touch.

Authors note: Only this chapter will be based on the original story, after this I will write my own ideas. By the way it's almost cannon to the manga (chapter 30) and the anime (season 1 episode 1).

-Prologue-

It was an nice spring evening at the seas of Japan. The stars twinkled gently in the dark azure sky next to a beautiful crescent moon.

At this time an fancy cruise ship was sailing with a joy of people celebrating important event.

Mean while our protagonist got curious about the commission up above her home. She always wanted to learn and see new things with her bright blue eyes. Since the start of her life, always in the palace and near it, she wanted one thing, see the human world. Yes, she was a mermaid but not an ordinary one. Lucia was the mermaid princess of the north pacific ocean. The young princess had an important job, as the leader and protector of the pink mermaids clan, her freedom was taken by fate. Somehow Lucia succeeded in escaping that fateful night and began to swim quickly to the surface.

When her head popped out of the water, her eyes got full amusement by the view. Without a knowledge about the land her brain described the fireworks as colorful blooming flowers. As a way of expressing her joy, Lucia begun to sing peacefully her favorite song.

"Nanairo no kaze ni fukarete tooi misaki wo mezashiteta" (Translation - "The rainbow wind blows at a far off coast")

~Meanwhile on the cruise ship~

Every year the big organization of music celebrated in order to promote new musicians. They are international around the globe and for any newcomer it was a dream come true to be part of them. One of the most recognizable and influential pianist of Japan that was in this ship is Dōmoto Kouki. He was known for his intelligence and ability to play complex scores flawlessly. It didn't stop there, Kouki's family had a special charm. His wife have an immense beauty with a gentle heart. Lastly together they are raising a little 7 year old boy, Dōmoto Kaito. Kaito isn't a biological child but he got adopted in an age of only one month after his birth.

The young couple was celebrating their second anniversary together with a plan of a child. When they strolled early on the morning at a beach in Hawaii, Kouki found a little bundle of light blue blanket near the ocean. Both of them were shocked by the fact that this young infant got abandoned but at the same time they were charmed by his cute baby look with calm nature. Eventually they adopted Kaito and done all the procedures to become legally his parents.

At some time of the big party our little boy got tired from all the actions he did. All kind of staff happened, music, dances, playing with children and more. As Kaito got bored from his whereabouts he started to go outside for a fresh air. Suddenly while watching the fireworks that started not long ago he heard a soft and sweet voice singing softly from underneath him.

"Nanairo no kaze ni fukarete tooi misaki wo mezashiteta" (Translation – "The rainbow wind blows at a far off coast")

Kaito's Brown eyes spotted a girl in the sea near him. His eyes examined her carefully. She had two blond and long pigtails that were holding together by pink seashells with magenta pearls. Her eyes were in the color of bright blue sky. Her upper half was entirely uncovered except a two light pink seashells bra. On her neck she had a neckless with the same light shade of pink seashell that had also two magenta color wings. Kaito didn't believed in what he's seeing right now, she looked like something that doesn't exit in real life. She was like something from fairy tales. Most importantly, she was at least his age or a year younger than him.

From his mouth Kaito murmured softly "What a pretty voice". In return our princess commented happily for the compliment with a little giggle while a light blush formed on her chicks. The human boy wanted to make sure he wasn't hallucinating and asked in a amazed tone with big smile "Could it be… that song was… Yours?" Than without giving the girl time to answer he asked "Why are you in the ocean?"

In response to his second question Lucia gently moved her tail out of the water in order to let him know why she was inside the ocean. Kaito's face got flustered from the sudden reveal and discovery that she was a mermaid and blabbered with a shocked tone "A mermaid?"

Than Lucia remembered that what she had done without thinking was bad. "Are you going to tell the other humans about me?" she asked with fear in her voice. "I promise. I will not say a world so please can you continue to sing?" "Sure!". Both of them sang together in harmony until a horrible thing happened. Suddenly a huge tsunami got closer to the ship. After that the ship got hurt badly and it's residents fell into the ocean including Kaito.

In realization of the situation right know, Lucia began to search for the boy she just met in order to save him. In a hurry she swam around the area until her eyes spotted the orange haired boy. 'I've got to at least save him. The little time we spent together was so much fun. I can't let him die here!'

Firstly her right hand got an hold on one of his hands. Than she got a good grip on the rest of his body by getting closer to him by putting her arms around the drowning boy body. She tried very hard to start swimming up out of the water but her tail couldn't move them much because of the weight and Lucia energy began to drain.

Slowly Kaito's conscious rose up and opened his eyes just a little bit to see what's going on. He saw himself being saved by the mermaid that not long ago sang together. 'Mermaid-san'.

On his forehead a cross shaped like symbol began to shine. Kaito's determination to support his savior woke up an unknown power within him in order to help her. It was a bright, gentle and warm light filled with affection.

Finally after the long struggle with the sun starting to rise, both of them got safely to the shore next the ocean. Lucia tried a few times to shake the unconscious boy but he didn't woken up. Her eyes gotten a sad look, she almost started to cry until she remembered, there is a way to save him. Her pearl, her most treasured belonging for a mermaid princess. She read in many books that a song of princess has the power to heal and restoring anything that's hurt of broken. The beauty and smile of a princess is meant to keep the happiness of joy of the living in the sea, when she is supporting them, they are also supporting her. The pearl that each mermaid princess is born from have an immense and mystical power. It can amplify the song of them into a protection power to defend the world from evil beings. With that it contained the power to save life but it was limited to be used only a single time.

With Lucia decision , she opened her neckless locket, took the pink pearl that resides within it and putted gently on the human who was beside her. A gentle glow started for a few seconds and when it died out his eyes opened slowly. Kaito saw the mermaid in front of him with a gentle smile on her relived face.

"You… Saved me?" Lucia heard the question with a tired voice. "Yes but it wasn't just me. I felt you rooting for me that I could do it so thank you too for the support." With that after a while of silence Kaito started to rise up until he sat and introduced himself.

"Im Dōmoto Kaito. I'm 7 years old and my favorite thing is to play the piano and surf." Our young mermaid got happy to know his name and even happier when he opened up to her. "It's nice to meet you Kaito. I'm Nanami Lucia. I'm also 7 years old and my favorite hobby is to sing and swim." With their introductions done both of them started to chat about different topic forgetting about the rest of the world and only about their little bubble.

To be continued…

So what do you think? (I know that it's not that original but I needed a good opening for my idea.) Next chapter I will start to described their life like I imagine. I want them to keep seeing each other not unlike the manga and anime when after that rescue scene they only meet after 8 years.

So until than, bye ]
