Chapter 4- Mysterious Painting

When you have your first love is it normal to feel like there are fishes in your stomach? Rima says I been looking like a love sick idiot which I try to ignore her mean comment. For the past couple of days I had been in our Library of Ancients, studying humans. I learned allot of information apparently they eat animals and our fish friends. That angered me a lot of how low they could be. But it said only a few don't eat animals or sea creatures. Which that made me ma little happy. Saying a lot of the time they eat this stuff called wheat and make it into pasta, salad, and bread. WEIRD.

"What's that stuff? You eat it? Doesn't sound good like sea weed. Mmmmmmm sea weed sounds good right now with some jelly fish jelly" I think to myself my stomach starts to growl. Sighing I shut the big coral colored book and put it to the side off the big smooth coral table. Getting up from my red chair, close my eyes because I know I'm walking in the right direction to the door. And I think I'm going out the door until I bump into something like a person who made an "opff" sound.

I look up to see Ikuto looking at me stupidly. Which I know I should watch where I'm going but I just wanted to rest my eyes from staring at a book non stop for the past few HOURS and days when I have time not practicing the songs.

"Amu? You look a little pale. Are you okay?" Ikuto says grabbing my shoulders and puts his forehead to my own." You're a little warm you're coming down with a fever. I think…" he pulls away and looks at my blushed face and swims one space back. "Or maybe you're just blushing." A smirk played on his lips but his eyes say he's trying to hide he's worried about me.

I look at him straight in the eye and smile which caught him by surprise since he probably thought I would yell at him. Took allot of control let me tell you. "Ikuto I'm fine just tired and hungry so if you'll excuse me I'm going to go eat." I push my golden tail behind me and swim forward the string like things on my tail that look like long swaying sea weed flow beside me as there attached to my waist line. I feel someone's eyes on me but I just swish it off and keep moving toward the kitchen.

The halls of coral blue walls pass behind me in a blur as the painting on the walls are blurred also. I stop by two noticeable paintings in front of me connecting the hallway with only another to my left leading to the kitchen and ballroom further down for showing how we love our people and have a fun enjoyable time. Talking to higher mer like dukes and duchess. For also there for our yearly annual masquerade ball. Which I think is next week….. Great.

The ones portrait had a beautiful girl about 17, my age, with red locks that swished around her head but not in her face. Shes is sitting on a sandy rock, fishes and other creatures in the background the sand just looks like tiny jewels. She look like she's was looking straight at me smiling. But her eyes looking sad like she knew something bad was going to happen to me. I shake the thought off and look at the name:

Ariel Hinamori

1623

17 years old

That was almost two hundred years ago! I read that she had the legendary voice to which I learned the real name for it is Forena. Those are the people in the past who have had the voice. Wow she had Forena before my great grandmother who was actually her 3rd cousin. Ariel gave her heart to a human but when she turned her tail into feet she saw right before her eyes that he was getting married. Her sisters gave her a dagger to kill him to saving her turning into bubbles like the sea witch said. But in the end she couldn't do it and turned into bubbles and now is a guardian of the sea and Forena. Her last words said in our book "love will save you."

The next painting was both the Chara and Shugo kingdom 17 years ago. Father and mother were next to each other. Mother was sitting on a coral chair, in a white silk dress flowing down to were her purple tail could be seen along with a tiara. Father right next to her wearing a king like suit with medals on and a crown; putting a hand on her right shoulder. Mother was looking at the camera smiling while holding a baby with pink hair and golden eyes that look also at the camera, as her father smiles too. "That's me…' I think as a silent tear falls down my cheek as I look at my mother.

The Chara kingdom had 4 mers in the family, King Aruto Tsukiyomi, Souko Tsukiyomi,Utau Tsukiyomi, and…. I wasn't sure what the 4th mar was I think IkuTsukiyomi... king Aruto had blue hair and navy blue eyes while his wife had wonderful blonde hair and violet eyes she was wearing a pink silk dress to her green tail: Souko Tsukiyomi. She was holding a baby girl in her arm named Utau who had blonde hair like her mothers and blue violet eyes like her fathers. Iku had most of his father's looks his midnight blue eyes and blue hair. Right beside his mother and father looking at the camera also smiling

"Ikuto…" I say to myself in a whisper. 'No he couldn't be… he's just my servant/ babysitter/ friend. I swim away from the portraits toward the kitchen while again I felt eyes on me. While something red passed the corner of my eye. I just ignored it.

Yuuki: Ok it will be sometime before I update review and if I get 3 or more ill update in a few days promise.

Amu: I don't think so… you're to busy getting ready for prom.

Ikuto: even when you're a freshmen in high school… lucky girl

Yuuki: hell ya I am got asked by a senior so sucks to be you!

Ikuto: I feel bad for the guy….

Amu: don't say that! She's so pretty even her friend said she would be asked! Even when he's from Japan on Exchange!

Yuuki: which reminds me I really should listen to him more often…

Ikuto: what's his name?

Yuuki: Masayuki….

Amu: cool! well bye bye R&R
