Kaito: Oooooh! XD
Lucia: What's it?
AIM and Kaito: N-Nothing nothing!
Lucia: o-o
Kaito: wait explain 'it'.
AIM: I can't, you know it begins with an s that's all. Man, now I've understood a whole lot more fan fictions. O-o. EW EW EW.
Kaito: Well, urm, interesting.
Lucia:? I'll do the disclaimer. AIM doesn't own mermaid melody.
A little girl, around seven-years-old, was sitting underneath a big oak tree, crying. Her parents' funeral had just finished and she just couldn't allow herself to actually accept it. But it was true. They were gone. And this thought just made her cry more.
"Why are you crying?" the little girl heard a voice ask her. She turned around and saw a young boy, about her age, but his face was a little blurred.
"Because, today was my parents' funeral. I miss then so much!"She sniffed. She didn't know why, but she felt as if she could trust this boy.
To her surprise he sat down next to her and hugged her! But she didn't push him off.
"It's alright! You know, even my parents died." He comforted her. Then he got up and walked to a nearby bush. The little girl was very curious on what he was doing. But she understood when he came back over to her and showed her a flower.
"Wow! It's such a pretty flower!" She exclaimed.
"It's for you, a pretty flower for a pretty girl." He replied.
"You think I'm pretty?" The girl said softly. The young boy blushed.
"Are you a mage?" He asked her. She nodded.
"What's your favorite thing to do?" He asked her gently.
"Sing." She replied quietly.
"Then why we both sing a song in the remembrance of our parents? Okay?" He suggested kindly.
"Really?"
"Yeah! We'll sing together."
"Alright, I'll start off then." The little girl replied.
"I can be tough, I can be strong, but with you, it's not like that at all." She sang softly.
These lyrics really seem to reflect on what's happened so far. She thought.
Then he carried on, "With all those crazy things you did, you left them running through my head."
He has such a nice voice! He must be the owner of a truly gentle heart!
Then they both said, "You're always there, you're everywhere but right now I wish you were here."
They looked at each other and forgot about everything else around them. The little boy's eyes soon came into the little girl's vision. They were a loving amber color. But the rest of his face was still blurred.
"You have pretty eyes." He told her.
The girl blushed.
"Did your mother sing you any songs?" He asked her. She nodded.
"Do you want to hear one?" She asked him.
"Yes. I'd love to."
I'll sing that one. Mommy always used to lull me to sleep by it.
She took a deep breath and started singing, "Haato, dake ga shitte iru nda bokura no, yukiseki WO itsudatte don't think, feel, HASHIREDASSE."
And the little girl always knew that these words were true. Whenever she thought about it, it would always make sense to her.
'Only our hearts know where our destination lies.'
Only by listening to my heart will I know where my destination is! The little girl thought.
'No matter when, don't think, feel! Take a step and run!'
That's how we get through life. We have feelings. We shouldn't think about how we feel. We already know.
"You have a very nice voice." The little boy said. The little girl then snapped out of her thoughts.
Just then the two of them heard a voice. The little girl recognized it as her older brother's! He was calling her name!
"Oh no! That's my big brother! I'm sorry but, I have to go or else we'll both get in trouble." The girl said.
"But when will I see you again?" The little boy asked worriedly.
"I don't think you will. Because I'm not a normal mage." The little girl says and a few tears streams down her face. "I'm a vampire."
The little boy's eyes widen. But says with a very determined voice, "Please don't cry though. I don't care if you're a vampire. I'm sure we'll meet again." He says and kisses her gently on the lips.
Then the little girl goes the direction of the voice and shouts back, "I'm sure we'll meet again!" with a smile. The boy smiles back. But as she ran to her older brother, she realized she never learnt his name. She didn't even tell him her name. She knew she couldn't go back and tell him though since her big brother wouldn't let her. He had told her to never tell anyone that she was a vampire. But she really wished she could have just told him her name was…
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Lucia's POV:
I groaned and turned my alarm clock off with my eyes still shut. Of course, a great way to be awakened. The sound of a stupid digital alarm clock.
"Lucia! Hurry and get dressed or else you'll be late." I heard Eric-nii-san shout from the kitchen. Apparently he was eating breakfast. I could smell it. Toast with fried eggs, sunny side up and small sausages on the side. This gave me the motivation to get up and get ready for school. I checked the time and saw it was 7:30! I'll be late!
I ran to the bathroom and did my usual routine. Shower and stuff, brush my hair and wrap a towel around myself. I walked into my room and changed into my underclothes, followed by my school uniform. I put my socks on and my usual ribbons in my hair. I got my guitar case, holding my acoustic guitar, and slung it over my shoulder. I checked the time and saw it was already 7:45! I grabbed my bag and dashed downstairs.
Eric was putting on his shoes and he smirked at me and said in a sing song voice, "Hurry up or you're gonna be late~" and with that he stepped outside. Of course he gets over protective when I'm around boys but when it's something else it's all hahaha, I'm older and more responsible, and you're always clumsy and late, tie your shoelaces before you fall! Oh wait, I forgot you can't!
Urgh! I just hate it. He is over protective but is really an annoying older brother. And it's totally not my fault I don't know how to tie my own shoelaces! It's just that no one taught me!
I grabbed a piece of toast, knowing I couldn't enjoy the full breakfast, grabbed my lunchbox and ran outside. I only had ten minutes to get to school on time. I stopped and looked around. I was at the park. It seemed no one was here. I smelt the air and checked the presence. I was alone. Perfect, I smirked to myself.
I'll just use a little vampire magic and take a shortcut. I thought.
With that, a faint pink aura started to surround me. Then I felt my body become lighter and I knew, know I could fly. My pupils became cat like and changed from brown to pink. Suddenly, I felt something, but I just ignored it. I jumped from the ground and flew off towards the school. I knew I had to stop near the school, and not right in front of it. I mean come on, I'm not stupid!
Hanon's POV:
Oh man! I'm gonna be so late! Why did I forget to set my alarm on! I hope I don't miss Mr. Mitsuki's period! Wait, isn't that Lucia up ahead? Yeah that is, but what is this feeling? I can sense very strong energy coming from her.
A light pink aura was coming from her. Then, I saw her jump and fly up into the sky, getting hidden by a few clouds. I stared in awe for some time until, I realized I was gonna be late! I'm definitely gonna have to tell the gang about this! I had to tell them that Lucia was most definitely a mage!
-School-
Lucia's POV:
Phew. I made it five minutes before the bell. I opened my locker and put my guitar case in it.
I walked into class and sat down on my seat, which was in the first row, next to the window. I felt eyes watching me and turned around. Rina and Gaito were staring at me with a confused expression. Then I saw Kaito, Masahiro and Nagisa walk over to me. I could feel glares coming at me and a few whispers of jealousy.
"Yo Lucia! Do you believe in magic?" Kaito asked me energetically. This seemed to earn a hit form Masahiro.
"Ow! What was that for?" Kaito asked him angrily rubbing the place where he hit him.
Masahiro: Don't be so straight forward idiot!
Kaito: Sorry.
Nagisa: When will I get to say something?
Masahiro: Shut up!
Rina: Hurry up idiots!
Gosh, I could practically hear their telepathy conversation. I rolled my eyes and started to get out the first period's book. It was English so it was super easy for me. I knew about five languages which I could speak fluently.
"Umm, well, do you?" Kaito asked slowly.
"I guess." I replied calmly without looking out him.
With that Hanon entered the classroom. She put her bag on her desk and telepathically called everyone there. I heard that she wanted everyone to meet on the roof. I wonder what she's gonna say.
Nagisa's POV:
Masahiro is so bossy! And he wouldn't even let me say anything!
Then my blue haired goddess came into the classroom. She was looking as pretty as ever! But she had a serious expression on her face! Then she called everyone telepathically. She told us to meet her on the roof.
We all went up there and Hanon was waiting there for us. She looked dazzling with her air being blown about slightly by the morning air.
"Now that you're all here I need to tell you something important." She said seriously. We all knew she wasn't joking or anything since she is never that serious. We all nodded.
"Lucia is most definitely a mage. I saw her in the morning. She was flying." She looked at us. Looks like our beliefs were confirmed.
"Wait, how do you know that was Lucia?" asked Gaito. Of course that was Lucia, idiot! If Hanon said it was Lucia, it was Lucia!
"It was definitely her. No one else has dirty blonde hair like her. Or even puts it in ribbons for that matter." She replied.
"Then doesn't that mean that her brother is a mage too?" I asked.
"Yeah, both of them must be mages then." Masahiro told me.
"Then I guess we'll have to corner her after school." Kaito replied calmly, with his hands behind his head.
"Hn." Came Rina's response. Masahiro and I just nodded. Then the bell rang and we dashed back to class.
Lucia's POV:
I started to get curious on what Hanon wanted to talk about with everyone so I followed them up to the roof, of course, without getting caught.
I stopped at the door which opened up to the roof and stayed silent.
I caught on to what they were saying after a few seconds.
I heard Hanon say, "Lucia is most definitely a mage. I saw her in the morning. She was flying."
So it was her! That feeling must have been her! So she saw me. I guess I'll have a lot of explaining to do to nii san since I'm not allowed to just use my magic like that. Guess I'm in trouble.
"Wait, how do you know that was Lucia?" asked Gaito. Yeah! How did she know? I mean she didn't see my face right?
"It was definitely her. No one else has dirty blonde hair like her. Or even puts it in ribbons for that matter." She replied. Oh crap! Why does she have to notice that?
"Then doesn't that mean that her brother is a mage too?" Nagisa asked.
"Yeah, both of them must be mages then." Masahiro replied. Yup, I am so totally in trouble when I get home.
"Then I guess we'll have to corner her after school." Kaito replied calmly. Right. Wait, what?! No way! I wonder if I should tell big brother. No, I can't burden him like this. What do I do?
Then the bell rang so I dashed down the stairs quietly and sprinted to class.
I sat down and not long after, Hanon and everyone came in and took their places. Then the teacher came and she began the lesson. But my mind began to wonder elsewhere.
-Lunchtime-
I saw Hanon and Rina make their way over here and I knew I had to try and get away. I snatched up my lunchbox and ran out of the classroom. I wish I could've at least played some guitar today, but with them following me I know I can't.
As I was making my way to the roof, away from everyone, my fan boys cornered me. I groaned mentally.
"Lucia-sama! Would you like to share my lunch?" a boy asked me.
"No! She's gonna share lunch with me!" Another shouted.
"Well I'm gonna sit with her!"
"No! I am!"
"Me!"
"No me!"
"I'm obviously the handsomest so it's gonna be me!"
As these idiots continued bickering I managed to slip away from them quietly and ran all the way to the roof. I really need to think about what I'm gonna do.
Once I reached the roof, a nice cool breeze hit my face. It felt so cold against my warm cheeks.
But once I was going to start eating when Kaito and Gaito came up here.
Shit! What am I gonna do!
"Urm, hey Lucia, wanna eat lunch with us?" Kaito asked nervously. Probably thought different of me since they know I'm a mage.
"Well, actually I don't feel hungry anymore so I'm just gonna head back to the classroom." I lied quickly. I hope they didn't notice.
"Oh, okay." Kaito replied, but he didn't sound convinced.
"Then we'll go with you." Gaito suggested.
Darn! Stop trying to come near me!
"Fine." I said with a forced smile. With that us three went back to the classroom through an awkward silence. But luckily the halls were filled with students so they couldn't ask me anything.
Once we reached the classroom the bell rang.
"Well, looks like we made it in time." Gaito said, stating the obvious. Yeah, I can see that.
Kaito nodded.
We all went in and sat down. Soon our math teacher came in and she started off with a lecture.
Kaito's POV:
Okay, is Lucia on to us or something? I mean, it's pretty obvious she's trying to avoid us so she must've found out that we know. But how? Well, I guess we are gonna have to work fast if we want to stop her at the end of the day.
-After school-
See! She's just pushing all her books back into her bag and trying to escape quickly! We better stop her.
"Guys, she's gonna make a mad dash for it." I told them. Good thing we all sat closely.
"Wait, first she's gonna get her guitar. Then, she's gonna leave." Rina told us.
Yeah, I saw her with a guitar case in the morning. So she's gonna be going to her locker then.
"Then let's go and wait for her at her locker." I suggested.
"Wow. You're actually smarter than you look." Hanon teased. I scowled.
"Then we have to hurry up 'cuz she's already left," Gaito stated. We all nodded and grabbed our bags. Then we all ran out the door. Me, Masahiro and Nagisa going one way. And the other three the other way.
We made it to Lucia's locker before she did so that was good. We hide near it and waited until she came. Good thing she came only a little bit after us. As she opened her locker we went over to her.
"Hey!" I told her coolly.
She gasped and dropped a couple of books in her hand.
I went down to pick them up for her. I handed them to her and she quietly took them.
As she was getting her guitar case she asked, "What do you need?"
Glad she got straight to the point I said, "Well we just wanted to ask you something."
"What?" she asked.
"Well, are you a mage?" I asked quickly. She paled and I knew the answer.
"W-what's a m-m-mage?" She stuttered. I smirked.
"Well you should know what that is right?" Nagisa asked her, also smirking.
"W-well." She stuttered again.
"Sorry for putting you under pressure but, we really need to know. Hanon saw you flying in the morning, and we all can sense a great amount of energy coming from you. We know you're not any abnormal being, or an alien. Now we know that you're a mage. Now confirm it and then it's done." Masahiro whispered quietly to hear so that no one but us could hear.
Lucia looked at us with big eyes. She looked like a little kitten. She opened her mouth to speak but was saved by her big brother.
"Lucia, what was taking you so long?" He asked. "I was waiting by the middle school entrance for you."
Yeah, our school is an academy. It's also a pretty rich school. It has a kindergarten section, an elementary section, middle school section and high school section. It also has a university. But underclass men aren't allowed there. I think Lucia's brother is in the high school section.
"O-oh, s-s-s-sorry." She said almost inaudibly.
"Why are you with them?" he asked pointing to us.
She looked down at her feet.
"You two are mages aren't you?" I blurted out.
He looked at me incredulously but soon it became a glare.
"What's it to you? You're one too." He told us coldly. He looked at Lucia and she seemed to understand. She just shook her head at him. He seemed to tense down a bit.
"Don't come near us, you got that?" he asked us, his bangs covering his eyes. I could feel a scary aura coming around him. Lucia tugged on his arm. He looked at her and walked away. She followed.
Well, looks like we got on the bad side of him. Perfect! Simply perfect!
It sure isn't! Man, what are we gonna do?
