Harry Potter and the Pichi Pichi Voice

Chapter 2:

One Month Before-Pearl Piari Hotel

"Ie! I won't! I won't go!" Luchia shouted. "I don't want to go back to the ocean yet nee-san."

A woman, apparently in her twenties, possibly early thirties, glowered at Luchia. "Luchia! You have a duty to your people! Hanon and Lina are also returning to their kingdoms, to start rebuilding. Now that peace is back in the Ocean World, we need to go home."

"NO! I won't go! And you can't make me!" Luchia turned and ran from the hotel, tears running down her eyes.

"Luchia-san!" Nikora shouted after her, sighing when she realized that there was no way Luchia would come back until she was ready.

"NIKORA-SAN!"

***************************

Luchia sat on the beach. She cried helplessly. She didn't want to leave, not so soon. "Why do we have to leave so soon anyway?" she asked herself.

"You're leaving?" said a voice behind her, startling her.

Luchia looked back. "Kaito!" she leapt up and flung herself into his arms. "Nikora-nee-san says it's time to go back to our kingdom, but I don't want to go. Not when we're finally together. I can't lose you now."

"Luchia, you silly girl, you just can't get enough of me can you?"

Luchia immediately pulled away, pursing her lips. "Idiot!"

Kaito grinned in that loving way of his, the way that always seemed to melt the beautiful mermaid before him. "You know, with Momo's help I can come and visit you whenever I like, right? I did it once before. So you won't lose me. And even if I couldn't come and see you, I'd wait for you as long as it took. I waited this long for you, and I won't let go now. So, go back to your kingdom, and I'll come visit, a lot. It'll be just as though you were still here, on the land, just in the ocean." he kissed her on her mouth before she could respond. "I promise."

Luchia felt her ire slip away as she leaned into his kiss. "Kaito…"

"Luchia!" a hyper voice interrupted her.

The pair pulled away, sighing in disappointment. They rarely got a chance to really be alone. Luchia's two shadows were always not far behind.

"Hanon, what do you want?" Luchia asked, irritated. "Can't you see we're busy?"

"Yeah, whatever. Nikora-san needs you to come back right away. Something's happened."

**************************

"What's going on?" Luchia asked as she and Kaito sat down next to each other. There was no danger now that he already knew about the whole mermaid thing and everyone was starting to accept him, even the little penguin.

Nikora held in her hand a very ornate envelope. Silver in color with gold trim, it was obviously a very important letter. "There's a problem in England. There's one other Mermaid Kingdom, that you haven't been told about. It wasn't important though because they don't help call Aqua Regina-sama and they weren't in danger, because they are not in the ocean. They are in a very special lake near a school for very special people called witches and wizards. Apparently they need our help to protect these humans and their home. Their Mermaid Princess sent this letter asking for our help."

"In England?" Luchia asked. "That's so far away. Can we get there in time to be of any help?"

Lina looked at Luchia, "You want to do this?"

"Yeah, they need our help. We have to go." Luchia said simply.

"But I thought you didn't want to leave Kaito-san." Hanon said.

Luchia shook her head. "I don't, but we'll come back when we're done right? My kingdom is still in the North Atlantic, I have to come back at least. But for now someone needs our help."

Nikora nodded. "I agree with Luchia. We need to do this. When someone needs your help, you help them. That's the right thing to do. Are you two going to come with?"

Hanon and Lina looked at each other. "Of course!"
