Chapter 1
"Lucia!" Kaito called out as the girl ran up to him. He had just entered the Pearl Piari and held something behind his back.
"Kaito! How are you?" Lucia asked.
"I'm fine. Are you doing anything over the summer?" Kaito asked. Though Lucia was supposed to be ready to leave for the Marine world, she couldn't tell him yet.
"Not really. Why?"
"Remember that surfing contest in Osaka I won? The prize was ten tickets to a place in Domino City for the summer and I want to invite you and the girls with me." He said, showing her the tickets.
"Are you serious? That's great."
"Lucia," a blue-haired girl called out, running up to them with a girl haired girl. "C'mon, we have work to do."
"Hannon, Kaito invited us to go to Domino City and stay there for two months." Lucia said.
"Lucia, we can't. We are supposed to go back tomorrow for the summer." The girl haired girl said. Kaito was surprised and looked at Lucia for an explanation.
"Please Rina-chan. Let this be our last thing we do in the human world. Please." Lucia pleaded.
"There are museums we can go to, not to mention the beaches, music concerts an-"
"Did you say concerts? Count me in." Hannon said.
"I don't know…"
"What was this about a vacation?" they turned to see four other girls, a blonde, a lighter blue haired, a purple haired and an orange haired.
"Girls, Kaito invited all of us to spend two months in Domino City. Can we go?" Lucia asked.
"I'm in. There are plenty of cute boys there." Coco said.
"I want to go too." Seira and Noel said at the same time.
"Why don't we?" Karen asked.
"Because we have to return to our kingdoms, remember?" Rina argued.
"Can't we discuss with Nikora-niichan?" Lucia asked.
"Discuss what with me?" they turned to see the older woman behind them.
"Kaito invited us to Domino City. Can we go?" Lucia asked.
"I don't see why not. As long as Hippo goes with you, then yes. Who exactly are you taking, Kaito?"
"I was going to invite the girls, Masahiro and Nagisa."
"How long will you be gone?"
"Two months."
"I guess we can tell them that you'll be gone for a while. It's fine with me. You'll still be there for a month. Pack your bags girls, you're going to Domino City."
"Cool." Seira cheered inwardly as well.
I hope I see that boy again. Seira thought as she softly sang to herself as she packed, then held her shell locket. She opened it and the pearl was missing. He still has my pearl.

Five years ago…
Seira had swum to the ocean near Domino City. There was a large ship out on the sea. Seira was watching the ship passed by and people were walking on the deck, but no one saw. She watched until it was dark, when they started setting off fireworks. She watched in amazement and started singing,
Dareka no koe ni namaewo
Yobarete me wo samasu
Aoi nami ni ukabu umi no yurikago de
Yume wo miteta no
Kono umi no dokoka de ima arasou koe ga suru
Naiteru kokoro kara ai wa umarenai
Kanashimi dake ga afurete shimau
Utsukushii umi no negai no kakera kara
Umarete yukitai hikari wo daite
Yuuyake ni somaru ORENJI no umi ni wa
Sekai no namida ga nemutteru
What she didn't know was that while she was singing, a young boy around her age, ten, was walking on the deck and heard her singing. He looked over the deck to see Seira in the water singing, but didn't see her fins.
"Hey you," she looked up at him in shock. "What are you doing singing in the ocean? Don't you know it's dangerous out here?" he asked.
"Well," Seira didn't know how to answer so she just showed him her fin. He was in shock and was blushing a bit.
"A m-mermaid!" He managed to say. She nodded her head, hoping he wouldn't tell everyone about her. He didn't and asked, "Where are you from? I mean, are you from an ocean or sea?"
"I'm from the Indian Ocean."
"Are you the only mermaid or are there more from the Indian Ocean?"
"I'm the last one from the Indian Ocean. But in other oceans, there are more of us."
"What? That is so cool. Wait, if you're from the Indian Ocean, what are you doing here in the Domino Harbor?"
"I can swim where I want, can't I?"
"True, but why are you the only one from the Indian Ocean?" At this Seira's face fell and she hid her face behind her hair.
"My home was destroyed."
"What happened to it?"
"Well…" Seira didn't get a chance to answer when she heard someone coming closer. The boy turned to see who it was. "I have to go. Don't tell anyone about me." She said, disappearing under the water.
For a while she swam under the water, looking up to the surface where the boy was. Suddenly, a storm began. Everybody got off the ship except for the boy. A big wave went over the ship and pulled it under. Seira panicked as she saw the boy sinking. She grabbed him and swam him to surface. After the storm ended, she managed to swim him back to land but he wasn't breathing.
"Please wake up. Wake up, wake up," Seira called, shaking him and trying to get him to breathe. Wait, this is similar to what happened with Lucia. Can I use… it's worth a shot. She was crying, thinking he was dead when she took her pearl out of the shell and put it on his chest. It glowed orange and the boy woke up. Seira was relieved and they stayed that way until the sun rose.
"You… you saved me. Arigatou." The boy said.
"As long as you're okay, that's all that matters." When he tried to return her pearl, she pushed the pearl back into his hand. "Hold onto it for me. As a sign that we'll see each other again." There were sirens going off and they turned to see the police and ambulance coming.
"I have to go." Seira said as she went into the water and swam away. She went out a bit by some rocks as she watched the police ask the boy some questions and then take him into the car. After he left, she swam back to the Pearl Piari.

Seira blushed, thinking about the meeting. She looked out her window and thought; I hope I can find you.

A young boy around fifteen walked up the stairs to bed. He lived in Domino City and had long messy black hair. When the boy reached his room, he looked out his window, which was towards the sea. He then pulled out a small, clear, rectangular case from under his shirt and held it up in front of his face. In it was an orange pearl, which glistened in the moonlight. That mermaid, I can't get her out of my mind.

Five years ago…
The boy was on a cruise ship over the summer. The entire day, the boy was bored out of his mind and slipped away during the dinner. Outside, he watched as the fireworks went off. He distantly heard someone singing. He looked around and finally looked into the water where an orange haired-girl was in the ocean.
"Hey you," he called out. He noted her facial expression changed to shock when he called out to her. He then asked, "What are you doing, singing in the ocean? Don't you know it's dangerous out here?"
"Well," the girl showed him an orange fin. He finally understood.
"A m-mermaid!" he managed to say. Won't nii-sama be surprised to see this? He was about to go tell when he saw she became worried. So instead he asked, "Where are you from? I mean, are you from an ocean or sea?"
"I'm from the Indian Ocean."
That's pretty far. What's she doing here in Japan? "Are you the only mermaid or are there more from the Indian Ocean?"
"I'm the last one from the Indian Ocean. But in other places, there are many more."
If she's the last one, what happened? "What? That is so cool. Wait, if you're from the Indian Ocean, what are you doing here in the Domino Harbor?"
"I can swim where I want, can't I?"
Gotta point there. "True, but why are you the only one from the Indian Ocean?" He looked confused when her face fell.
"My home was destroyed."
"What happened to it?"
"Well…" the girl didn't get a chance to answer when they heard someone coming closer. He turned to see it was his older brother. "I have to go. Don't tell anyone about me." She said, disappearing under the water.
"What are you doing out here?" the older boy asked.
"I… I was just bored, nii-sama. You know, the day has been kinda boring and you're all serious and stuff." He lied. I hate lying to nii-sama, but I promised her I wouldn't tell.
"I saw you were leaning over the edge and talking to someone. Who was it?"
"I wasn't talking to anyone."
"Are you lying to me?" the older boy asked in a dangerous tone.
"I was to myself. And I was leaning over because… I saw a dolphin pass by."
"Why would this be any different from the ones you've seen plenty of times at the aquarium?" Just then, a storm started. Waves were getting bigger and the ship rocked. "Hold on and don't let go." The older brother said, grabbing the younger one's hand. The older one managed to get into a boat but the ship rocked away from the lifeboats.
"Nii-sama!" the boy cried out as a wave crashed down on the ship, bringing him down as well.
After a while, the storm stopped. The boy woke up to see the mermaid above him. "Y-you… you saved me. Arigatou."
"As long as you're okay, that's all that matters." He noticed an orange pearl on his chest, guessing it was the mermaid's. When he tried to return her pearl, she pushed the pearl back into his hand. "Hold onto it for me. As a sign that we'll see each other again." There were sirens going off and they turned to see the police and ambulance coming. "I have to go." The mermaid said as she went into the water and swam away.
"Wait," the boy cried out but she was already gone. By that time, the police came down, telling him his brother called after the storm ended.
"I'm fine, really... I juust washed up on the shore after the storm… No, I don't know how I survived… Can you just take me back to my brother?"
"Sure kid." The Head cop said as he put the boy in the car and took him back to his house where his brother was.

He looked at the pearl, which he held for five years and then back at the ocean. "I have a feeling I'll find you soon. I just wish I knew your name."
