He smiled at me gently and looked away. My heart stopped pounding and I took a deep and sighed.
"That jerk" I said underneath my breath.
"You are love sick but that doesn't give you permission to take Kaito away from me so I'm going to make your life a living hell" Luchia said in a dark and mean voice.
Kaito saw the look in her eye of anger and despair and decided to do something about it. He decided to meet with me after class.
At the end of class I am always the last one out so everyone left me.
"Hey D.J" Kaito said coming over to me. "Ummm…. I don't suppose you know why Luchia has been acting so strange?" he said leaning next to me.
"Oh wait! I forgot about Kaito!" Luchia said then returned to the classroom. "Kait…." She said but then paused at the sight of Kaito smiling at me. She turned red with fury then left.
"Actually I have been noticing her strange behavior and I might have an idea why" I said putting my books away. "I think she thinks that I'm trying to take you away from her or something." "I can see why since you're being so nice to me and stuff" I said with a friendly face.
"Well I act like that to all the cute girls" he said rubbing his head in remark
"Exactly! That's the problem you don't think about her feelings you moron!" I said yelling at him. Then I stormed out of the room.
I walked home but took the long way through the park. The birds were singing the sun was shining so bright. I decided to take a rest at the bench.
"What am I gonna do, that jerk is always surrounded by people and, and" I said the closed my eyes. A picture of Hero popped into my head and I got startled.
"I agree with you that the park is a nice place to rest" a voice said next to me.
"Ahhhhhh!" I yelled then fell off the bench. "Ouch that really hurt" I said rubbing my back.
"Hey are you all right I didn't mean to scare you" he said then picked me up. He placed me back on the bench and then sat next to me.
"No it's not your fault Hero I was just in deep thought that's all" I said blushing.
"Finally I get a chance to talk with you without other people bugging me" he said looking at me.
"I…" I tried to finish but then heard a cry from the bay. "Ummm I have to go now" I said then ran away.
"Wait don't" he said but then I was too far out of his sight to hear. "You know Ms. Inugami you remind me of someone I met a very long time ago". He took a picture out of his book bag and looked at it "Where are you my black mermaid."
"Hey you! Leave that dolphin alone you big meanie!" I said yelling at the mermaid harassing Momo-chan the pink dolphin. I jumped into the water and swam toward her.
"Who do we have here? A pretty black pearl to capture" Izuru said then attacked.
Before I could transform she captured me in a seaweed forest. I was tangled and there was no way out.
Momo-chan yelled as loud as it could.
"Luchia, Rina do you hear that?!" Hanon asked running towards them. "Yeah Momo-chan's in trouble" Rina said and suddenly her locket began to glow. "So is D.J."
Luchia didn't say anything just angered at the thought of me.
At the park Hero woke up at hearing the same cry as the mermaids. Suddenly his rain drop pendant began to glow. He got up quickly and headed for the beach.
"Get away from me Izuru you're not going to get my pearl" I said struggling to get free but it was no use. My tail was stuck in the seaweed and there was no hope for me.
"Hold it right there Izuru!" Hanon said behind her. "Aquamarine pearl voice!" she said then transformed.
"You have no right to take away a mermaid princess's pearl especially from our friend!" Rina said in an intimidating voice. "Green pearl voice!" she said then transformed.
"Also you have no right to bother Momo-chan!" Luchia said in disgust.
"Hey what about me?" I asked curiously.
"Yeah you too" she said in a lazy voice. She suddenly perked up and said "Pink pearl voice!" she said then transformed.
The mermaids began to sing their song Koduo to defeat her but it wasn't affecting her for she gotten herself ready. Izuru then attacked Rina and Hanon. Luchia was looking at Momo-chan to try to help it but he swam away.
"I guess there's no reason for me to stay anymore" Luchia said then tried to leave.
"Luchia what's a matter with you!" I said beginning to cry.
She looked at me in sadness.
"Ever since I got here you have been mad at me. I know why you are; you think I'm trying to take Kaito away from you! Well for your information I'm not. He was just being kind to me!"
"How do I know your telling the truth?! I love him so much and since you've been here it's been like he doesn't care about me only you!" she said with tears rolling down her eyes.
"I told this to Kaito and I'll tell you now! You guys don't care about each others feelings. You didn't think about talking to Kaito about your problems, he's worried about you and you don't care or even notice!" I said angrily.
My words struck her heart like a dagger. With tears rolling down her eyes she dropped to her knees and said "You're right if I really loved Kaito I should have told him."
"It alright Luchia, you still have time but right now you have to move…" I said but then Izuru came charging at us with no where for us to go.
Suddenly a long figure came by and stopped Izuru. I closed my eyes and waited until it was over. When I opened my eyes a light blue and white dragon was starring at me.
"Your eyes look just like…" I said admiring them. They were the same light blue as Hero's eyes.
"Stupid dragon! I'll take my leave for now!" Izuru said then left .The dragon left but I caught a glimpse of the rain drop chain around its neck. Thanks to it I was freed and we were back at the surface world. I Hanon and Rina hid behind a rock in the water as Luchia talked to Kaito.
"Kaito, I…" she said but was stopped as Kaito's arms wrapped around. She began to cry in his arms digging her face into his chest.
"I'm really sorry Kaito I should have came to you first instead of getting mad at D.J" she said finally calming down.
"I'll forgive you if you promise me not to make her life a living hell" he said looking at her.
She looked at him in astonishment and said "You heard that" and then started to walk.
"Yeah let's talk about this on our way home" he said then walked away. Luchia smiled at him then winked at us. I winked back then Hanon and Rina left.
When they left I sat on a rock and began to sing. I then stopped, thinking about Hero I sighed. "I miss you Hero" I said to out loud.
"I missed you too" a voice said behind me.
"Great I miss him so much I think I hear him" I said jokingly but then he hugged me so I was convinced. I turned around and suddenly smiled at him when I saw his face. There his ocean blue eyes were looking at me just like 8-years ago.
"I finally found you …..my love" he said putting his hand on my face. It was so warm and I was so happy.
"I missed you so much and now you're here with me now I can't believe it" I said but suddenly a thought struck me. "I can't" I said backing away.
"What's wrong" he asked curiously as his rain drop pendant shone in the moon light.
I looked at it for a moment then thought of the dragon but they can't be the same. I shook my head "Anyway you're a human Hero, we can't be together" I said swimming farther into the water.
"I know we're different but can't we work this out" he asked desperately.
"We can't but I hope I see you around" I said with tears rolling from my eyes. I then dove into the water off into the night.
"Maybe if you find away we can be together but for now I'll miss you once again" I echoed underwater.
"Don't worry, I'll find away I love you as a human boy and a dragon of the ocean." He said then stared at the moon for the rest of the night.
(Do you think Hero will find a way for them to be together? Will D.J find out that the one she loves is a dragon? Will Hero find out the girl he has a crush on is the mermaid he spoke with last night? So many questions but the best one Will he accept D.J for being the girl of his dream?)
