OKEE I don't own CCS or anything in this story! NOTHING! Except characters I make up o.k.?
I'll go to any Depths Ch 1.
Sakura Kinomoto, the 16 Year old Princess of the Aquarius Seas happily flipped her pink fins as she was looking through her bag of things. Sakura rustled around in it and pulled out what looked like a Silver Ring.
"Aha! There it is!" She exclaimed to herself.
"Wow, I wonder what it is..." She said, examining it.
'Obviously something from the surface....' She thought.
She hastily put it away and then swam off towards a large castle. She swam through the door into the castle and up to her chambers. She hid the bag in a drawer full of other things she had found previous days.
'I wish just once I could see above the water, and just for once just glimpse what other kind of world it could be' She thought, as she dreamily stared up towards the surface, miles above her.
"Sakura!" She heard her father call from downstairs. She snapped back to reality, "Coming!!!" She called back. She took one last look out her window and swam down to her Father in the Throne room.
"Daddy!" She called.
"Sakura," He said, "It's your birthday today, where were you off at this morning?" He asked.
"Oh...uh, just clearing my mind..." She said quickly.
Many people began to swim into the hall and gather around the King and the Princess.
"I have a special present for you, Sakura." Fujitaka said.
"Really?" She exclaimed, wondering what it could be.
"Yes, here," He said, handing her a box, "open it!".
Sakura fiddled with the bow on the box and took it off and layed it down, then opened the top of the box, and gasped. Inside was a beautiful necklace made of many sparkling shells and precious rocks and on the end was one single Pink Conk Shell, that was very small.
"Wow!" She said.
"It was your mothers, she wanted me to give it to you when you were old enough." Fujitaka said, smiling.
"Th-Thankyou," She said, lost for words, "It's Beautiful." She finished.
She then turned from her father and went to put the beautiful necklace on.
"Sakura!" Someone called from behind her, Sakura turned and saw her friends Chiharu and Rika.
"Happy Birthday Sakura!" They both said.
"Thankyou!" She replied.
"Here, we got you these!" She said.
Rika handed Sakura a green box tied with a blue ribbon. Sakura pulled the ribbon off, and then opened the box. Inside was what looked like a Small Pink Shell. Sakura picked up the shell and looked at it.
"It's a Charm!" She said.
"Wow! Its so pretty!" Sakura said looking at it.
"You can put it on your charm bracelet!" She said.
"Yeah!" Sakura Replied
"Don't forget my present!" Chiharu said. Sakura took Chiharu's Present and opened it. Inside was a sheathed dagger.
"Woah!" Sakura exclaimed, quickly hiding it from her father.
"I found it near that shipwreck! I thought you'd like it!" Chiharu said, smiling.
"It's the most fantastic thing I've ever seen!" Sakura said, looking at the Green Dagger.
"Be right back, I'll put it somewhere safe." Sakura said, and swam up to her room and put it with the things she had found the earlier day.
LATER...
Sakura was sitting in her room again, later that night daydreaming about the surface again. 'What could it be like up there?' Sakura thought. She sighed, knowing she'd probably never get an answer to that question. Going anywhere near the surface was strictly forbidden. If any humans were to found out about the Merman, it could lead to the destruction of everything they'd worked for. Sakura rested her head down on her bed, which was a rectangle careved out of marble and faced out the window. She clasped the small pink shell on the end of her necklace. 'I wish... just for a few days... I could be a human. I wish I could see the surface and see the humans.' Sakura thought, before slipping away into dreams.
Sakura woke up the next morning feeling sick. She got up and swam over to her mirror. She was tired, thats all, she told herself. Suddenly, there was a spark, and a small shell fell into her hands. It read:
Princess Sakura,
Meet me at Aquarius Canyon, I have an offer you can't turn down.
-Susaki
"Susaki????" Sakura gasped. Susaki was banished from the kingdom long ago because she was known to practice dark magic that wasn't allowed. Sakura was certainly sure she wasn't going to meet this Susaki person.
Later that day Sakura met up with Rika and Chiharu, but as soon as Chiharu suggested they go hunting for pearls, Sakura made up an excuse for why she could not go.
"Uh, I have to uhh.... clean up my room... Sorry!" She said to Rika and Chiharu, before turning and swimming back towards the castle.
'Why did I lie?' Sakura said. Sakura didn't know why, but she felt like she would miss something important if she missed this Susaki. Sakura stopped. Maybe... She could swim over there, and if it looked dangerous, she could swim off as fast as she could towards home. Yeah... She thought, I could do that.
Sakura turned around again but this time swam towards a deep crevice on the outskirts of the center of Aquarius. She swam down the dark canyon and came to the bottom of it which was suprisingly light enough to see.
"I thought you'd come," Said a gnarly voice. Sakura turned to see a mermaid, but hardly. Susaki had gray fins, and her skin was pale and slightly blue. Her hair was a strange white color, and her eyes were a deep violet. Her eyes said enough about her, she looked dangerous alright. Sakura was just getting ready to swim off super fast before Susaki said, "I know you wish to become a human, do you not?" She said, Sakura spun around with a mixture of surprise and interest.
"How did you know!?" Sakura said.
"I have brought you here, because I am able to grant that wish for you." Susaki Said strangely.
"How? Why would you? Whats in it for you?" Sakura asked, becoming suspicious.
"Oh, I'm just helping out the lesser beings...." Susaki said innocently.
"But,' She continued, "The thing I want from you in return, is one strand of your auburn hair." She said, smiling.
"That's all?" Sakura said, looking a little relieved it wasn't something too big.
"Yes, that is it." She said.
"Oh..." SAkura said.
"Then do we have a deal?" Susaki said.
"How long can I be human for?" Sakura questioned.
"Three Weeks. That is it. At sunset on the end of the Third Week, you will turn back into a mermaid." Susaki said.
"Do we have a deal, Princess?" Susaski prompted.
Sakura stalled for a moment or so, thinking. But then, it couldn't be so bad, could it? What could she do wrong with my hair? Sakura thought.
"A-Alright." Sakura Replied.
But a soon as she replied, one strand of hair was taken from her, and she found herself beginning to suffocate. She instinctively swam as fast as she could towars the surface, but found she couldn't. She had grown LEGS!!! Legs! Sakura kicked as hard as she could, but to no avail. She then found her self blacking out, and becoming still.
Sakura's eyes fluttered open. She sat up, and gasped.
"AAH!" She screamed. She saw herself, with legs! She looked at them in wonder and wiggled her toes.
"What a weird thing!" Sakura said to herself.
"Are you lost?" A sweet voice said from behind her. Sakura turned around and saw a girl her age, with long jet black hair and sparkling gray eyes. She looked friendly and concerned.
"Yes. I suppose, could you tell me where I am?" Sakura asked politely.
"You are in the Li Kingdom." The girl replied.
"Oh!" Sakura said, sounding as if she knew where she was but really she had no idea what a Li was.
"I'm Dadouji Tomoyo, But you can call me Tomoyo!" The Girl said.
"I am Kinomoto Sakura!" Sakura said cheerfully, glad that she had a new friend in this large and strange world.
Suddenly, Sakura screamed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She cried out pointing towards the horizon.
"What is it?" Tomoyo said rushing to her side.
"WHAT IS THAT THING???!!" Sakura said pointing accusingly at the Sun, which was now Orange because of the Sunset.
"That? You mean the Sun?" Tomoyo said.
"Er-Yeah!" Sakura said.
"That big orange ball thing!" Sakura said.
"Thats the sun, it looks beautiful at this time of day because its evening, which means the sun is setting and it will soon be night." Tomoyo said.
"Where are you from?" Tomoyo asked.
"Uh....Umm....." Sakura stuttered looking for a good lie.
"It's alright if you can't tell me, but I'm suprised you don't know what a sun is. Seems like you've been living in the ocean or something!" Tomoyo joked, but Tomoyo had no idea how right she was. Sakura laughed nervously.
Sakura had come to Tomoyos mansion in a small clearing in the grass. The Island that she was on was a strange place, but beautiful. It was full of Forests, Trees, Flowerse and grassy fields. Tomoyo had a big house, and Sakura stayed there when she got there.
"Here, you can sleep here!" Tomoyo said pointing to a puffy pink bed in the large guestroom.
"Wow! WHAT'S THAT!?" Sakura said, pointing to a lamp.
"That's a bedside lamp, It makes light so you can see at night, really, how come you've never seen a lamp?" Tomoyo looked a little concenred.
"Uh... Oh! I have I just... uh.. forgot what it was!" Sakura said quickly.
"Oh..." Tomoyo replied.
Sakura spent the night sleeping on her poofy pink bed which was absolutley wonderful for her, because in the ocean there were never beds, because usually you were a lot lighter there. On the surface, Sakura felt strangely heavy, which was awkward for her.
NEXT DAY
Tomoyo had to go take care of some things with her mother that day, so Sakura decided to go for a walk in the flower fields. Flowers and Grass were wonderful, but the Sky and the Clouds were even better. It was like a dream for Sakura. Everything was so perfect.
"Come now Master Li, you must find a bride sometime, The kingdom is expecting you to become a husband soon." An old mans voice said.
"I don't need a wife, I can manage!" An angry and frustrated voice replied.
Sakrua quickly dodged behind some trees to avoid being seen. The conversation continued,:
"But Master Li, Surely, you must understand that you must have a wife in order to become the King!" The old mans voice replied.
Sakura peeked a little more behind the tree and saw a young man, about her age with scruffy brown hair and deep amber eyes that right now showed frustration and fury. Sakura knew eavesdropping was wrong, but there was something about this man that drew her to keep listening.
"Anyways, Master Li we must get back if you are to attend the dinner tonight with Lady Dadouji." The old man said.
"Sigh. Im so sick of always having to have my life run for me." The young man said angrily.
Sakura watched the two people walk away.
'What is this? I've never felt like this before....but... who is that man?" She said, with a slight blush.
