Hey,Everyone! This chapter is gonna be a really fun ride! I want to thank my friend Creaturemaster not only for the inspiration from his stories for the events of this chapter, but also for his tips and hints that were extremely helpful! Some things to remember; like Duncan, as the child of a kaiju, Kala Mer'ri is far stronger than she looks! Plus, her condition has increased her strength to rival Duncan's!

The song is my variation of the mermaid song from 'Pirates of the Carribean: On stranger tides'! To truly get a sense of how beautiful and eerie it is, look for 'Pirates Medley-Peter Hollens and the Gardiner sisters' at about the 1:21 mark. Enjoy!

Chapter 53

Lagoona woke shortly after mid-night to a strange, yet eerily beautiful sound. It was the sea-mares that had come with Kala, singing a lovely yet wordless song. They were around Kala in the pool, and when Kala herself began to sing, the dim light of the tiki torches made it all the more ethereal.

Come all ye pretty fair maids,

Who ever you may be,

Who love a jolly sailor bold,

That plows the raging sea.

My heart is pierced by Cupid.

I disdain all glittering gold.

There is nothing can console me,

But my jolly sailor bold.

Come all ye pretty fair maids,

Who seek to play your part,

Who love a mighty hero bold,

With raging fire in his heart.

My heart is pierced by Cupid.

I disdain all glittering gold.

There is nothing can console me,

But my mighty hero bold.

Come all ye pretty fair maids,

Who ever you may be,

Who love a jolly sailor bold,

That plows the raging seas.

My heart is pierced by Cupid.

I disdain all glittering gold.

There is nothing can console me,

But my jolly sailor bold.

Lagoona had to admit, Kala Mer'ri was as beautiful a singer as she was a dancer. But why she was singing at this time of night was a mystery to her. And a love song? If she didn't know any better, she'd think…..no, impossible. There were no male sea monsters at school. Lagoona relaxed and let the beautiful yet eerie song lull her back to sleep.

The next day, Kala had only one thing on her mind, and shaped her whole morning on getting what she wanted! But she had to be smart, play coy until just the right moment. Until then, she and the unknowing Lagoona went about things as planned. After showering in the ghouls locker-room, Kala got dressed and applied her make-up as usual, but instead of tying her orange-streaked indigo hair up in a ponytail, she wore it down in attractive waves…..oddly similar to Clawdeen's usual hair-style. And along with her top and sleeveless long coat, she wore a scandalously short skirt over her new legs and heels. She turned quite a few heads as she and Lagoona had breakfast in the creepateria with the dorm students.

Through morning classes and activities, she watched Duncan at every opportunity. Then during their morning free-period, she saw her chance in the student lounge! He was chatting with the guys and ghouls while Clawdeen seemed occupied with her sketch-book.

"Hey, Duncan", Kala smiled. "Can I talk to you privately for a minute?"

"Morning, Kala", Duncan smiled. "I don't see why not. Clawdeen?"

"Go ahead, Sweetie", Clawdeen said without looking up. "I got these designs I gotta finish. BTW, one of them is for you!"

"You're the best, Clawdeen", he smiled as he stood up. They walked across the crowded lounge to one of the entrances.

"So what's up, Kala?", he asked innocently, his body language showing he was completely at ease.

'Good, I have a chance to subdue him before he can react!', she thought to herself.

"I just wanted to thank you for your kindness and understanding", she said, slowly moving closer.

"It's nothing", he smiled warmly. "We kaiju-kids gotta stick together, right?"

'oh, I intend to my love!', she thought.

"If there's anything I can do to repay you, I'm always available", she purred, tracing her fingers across his chest, making him shiver slightly.

"Uh, sure? But I think we better head back now", he said nervously, taking a step back where they had come. She lashed out and grabbed his arms with two of her own, another on his chest and the last caressing his face as she pushed him against the wall, her body pressed to his!

"But I can show you my appreciation right now?", she cooed huskily as she kissed his cheek. "I promise, I'll make you feel really good!"

"Oh, no! Not again!" he groaned.

"Kala", Clawdeen growled softly in warning, "what are you doing all up in my boyfriend's grill?"

Kala hissed! The rival! She hissed a second time, this time spraying ink from under her tongue into Clawdeen's face, just as the other ghouls arrived.

"Ugh! I can't see!", the werewolf snarled as she tried vainly to clear her vision.

Lagoona's eyes widened to the size of plates as she realized what was happening!

"DUNCAN! RUN!", she screamed as she tackled her old friend away from him!

"But what….?"

"There's no time!" Lagoona yelled, struggling with Kala. "Her instinct to mate with you has over-ridden all her senses! Just run!"

Duncan jumped over them and ran down the passageway just a moment before Kala was able to throw Lagoona at her friends and take off after him! He thanked his lucky stars that the school hallways were clear, as all other students were in classes.

"You….will be….MINE!", she called after him.

"Nope! I will be gone!", he called over his shoulder. He had every confidence in his speed and parkour skills, but the fact that she was slowly gaining on him had him worried. If he could just get outside he could take to the air! Kala maybe a fellow half-kaiju on a crazed hormonal mission to get in his pants, but she can't fly!

"Duuunnnncaaannn! Come baaaaaack!", she begged running as fast as her new legs would carry her.

"Why should I?"

"I want you inside me!", she pleaded.

"Oh, like that doesn't sound totally creepy!", he yelled as he reached the school-proper. 'Ok, now I got hallways, stairways, and empty rooms I can try to lose her in…..or at last give me some distance or chances to hide!'

He stopped a moment at a junction of hallways to decide which way to go….and was tackled and pinned to the ground by a lustfully grinning Kala Mer'ri! She straddled his legs, and pinned his arms with two of her own, and lovingly caressed his face with her other two hands as she cuddled up to his chest.

"Mmmmmm. Even warmer than last night", she cooed as she raised herself up slightly. Duncan noticed that apparently she had shed her coat at some point. She now reached up and shredded her top with her free hands; leaving only her pink bra barely containing her breasts. Then she leaned down to kiss him, and he twisted his face away. She growled lustily and held his face with her free hands, and crushed her lips to his, forcing her tongue into his mouth.

With a surge of strength, he threw her off him and she tumbled over a trash can. Duncan took that moment to run. He flew up some stairs, gaining a little distance. He ran into an empty classroom, shutting the door and barricading it with the teacher's desk. He sat down, leaning against the desk catching his breath, when he heard hinges creak behind him. That sound might as well be a coffin opening as he turned to look. Kala was opening the door…..he had failed to notice that the door opened into the hall, not the room. She stared at him with a hungry, lustful smile.

"Hey, Sexy", she purred. "I gotta admit, the chase is turning me on. But just give up. I promise it will be better than you can imagine."

"Kala, you're not yourself!", he panted. "I don't want this, and I don't want to hurt you. Please don't force me to."

"Oooh!", she cooed. "Playing rough? I can do that, it might be even more exciting."

And she lunged at Duncan…..who just barely managed to somersault over her and dash out the door. Kala was hot on his heels. He made a quick turn into the li-scary which, thankfully, only had a few students at the time. He jumped up on top of the book-shelves and began to jump-run from one row to the next to get across the room, as Kala chased him from below. He leaped off the last row to glide down to the lower level, while Kala jumped up and slid down the bannister of the stairs. Duncan jump-ran across the li-scary tables until he grabbed a hanging light to swing over the li-scarians desk/check-out area, did a back-flip in the air and landed at the exit, which he ran through with a smile. Kala marveled at his prowess as her desire for him increased. Those moves had given him a few precious feet of distance on her. After jumping across the tables herself, she opted to slide under and past the check-out counter to the exit. She saw him enter a door at the far end of the hall, and pursued him.

Duncan found himself in the weight-room. He grabbed up the bar of an empty dumbbell, thrust it through the door handles and bent it tight. The moment he was done, Kala slammed against the doors. He heard her grunt with frustration just before she slammed even harder against the doors. Thankfully, the room was built to withstand weight-training for monsters. But Duncan was still not sure how long the doors could hold up against the strength of a half-kaiju that was half-crazed with one of the most primal urges known to nature. Then he noticed that she had stopped assaulting the doors…..and he got more worried.

He cautiously went up to look out the small, narrow, rectangular windows of the doors…..and started when Kala's face was suddenly pressed against it. Her eyes and grin showing only lust and desire. She then punched the window, easily knocking out the glass, and then grinned at him through the hole.

"Give up, Kala", he smirked. "Even a gnome couldn't fit through that opening."

"Oh, you don't know me very well, my love….", she grinned lustily, then arched her eye-brow suggestively, "…yet."

She then began to squeeze herself through the hole…..like an octopus into a wine bottle!

"Aw, sphinx!", Duncan groaned as she retook her two-legged 'normal' shape after getting through the broken window. She had minor cuts from the glass here and there…..plus the broken glass had shredded the remainder of her clothes off of her body. She stood, naked, in a seductive posture; positive that she now had him trapped. The room was too small for him to avoid her for long and she was between him and the only door. Plus, he himself had secured it so well that even if he got past her, she would be on him before he could get it open.

He desperately picked up a fully-loaded barbell and threw it at her. She caught it as easily as he had thrown it and tossed it aside. She started to walk toward him with a seductive sway to her hips, running her hands up and down her naked body in anticipation.

Duncan saw no way out without possibly injuring her severely; something he would rather avoid. Her actions were not her fault. She and Lagoona had told their friends that she had come here to avoid going through this. He faked right, then left, only for her to mirror him perfectly. When he set his stance, she knew she had him. She switched to her tentacled original form and licked her lips as she prepared to pounce.

There was a cracking sound, then the doors burst open. Abby had frozen the handles and the metal bar holding then charged in and froze Kala Mer'ri in a block of ice before she could react. The yeti smirked at Duncan.

"Owed kaiju-boy for saving me from Argost", Abby said. "Now….we are even."

"Thanks, Abby", he said, just before the block started to crack! "Gotta run! Thanks, again!"

Duncan dashed through the door as the block shattered. Before Abby could freeze her again, Kala grabbed her in her tentacles and slammed her into a wall. She then switched back to legs to give chase again, following the alluring scent of her desired mate.

Duncan was running—literally!—out of options. He needed to avoid the side of the school where the daycare center was. And while the relatively empty hallways meant less chance of bystanders getting hurt, it also made it easier for Kala to pursue him! She was easily keeping pace with his speed and tactics of using obstacles and switch-backs. He burst into the clawditorium then glided down over the seats to the stage. Kala switched to tentacles and clambered over the seats quickly and reached the stage just after he ducked behind the curtain.

'She's worse than Torq and his Horde!', he thought to himself, remembering his first day at this school when the school bullies chased him.

"Why, Duncan! You baaaaad boy!", she said huskily, following him behind the curtain. "Doing it on stage would be fun! We could show all the guys and ghouls how it's really done!"

He had taken cover among the stage scenery, slowing his breath and pulse the way Jinafire had taught him, while remaining physically ready to move quickly.

"Hiding, my love?", Kala giggled. "I can play that game, too."

Kala Mar'ri suddenly faded from sight. Duncan grinned, and switched to seeing in infrared, a trick he'd picked up recently. He couldn't do it long without his eyes hurting big-time, but he still did not see her!

'She must be cold-blooded', he thought to himself, just before he was grabbed from behind! When he was rolled over, he saw a female shape that seemed covered by their surroundings with a pair of lustful blue eyes. The shape turned into a grinning Kala, straddling him and holding him down with two of her arms as the other two ripped his shirt off.

"Natural camouflage ability", she grinned.

"I gotta tell ya, Kala", he said, impressed. "You got some crazy parkour skills."

"Why thank you, my love. Those aren't the only skills I have", she smiled seductively, as she leaned down to kiss and lick his neck. She was on a proactive mission to turn him on, using methods that would make his body respond despite what his head and heart told him, and it was working. He could feel the bulge swelling in his pants, as did Kala; she moaned and rubbed her nether-region on the growing bulge.

"Can't we talk about this?", he said, trying to buy time.

"Sure, Sweetie", she cooed, biting her lower lip. "We can talk all night, every night for rest of our lives if you want."

"Not what I meant!"

She panted as she reached down, intending to open his pants. With surge of strength, and her slightly off balance, Duncan threw her off of him and into a pile of stage props and scenery. He then ran for the stage door, slamming it open as he barreled through.

Kala screeched ferociously as she threw the junk off of her and chased after him again! How did her intended keep escaping her?! Only once had he needed help to escape so far. His mind and physical prowess were amazing! Only he, in all the world, was worthy of her! And the children they would spawn would be so beautiful and powerful and perfect!

"DUUUUUNNNNNCAAAAANNNN, STOP RRRUUUUUUNNNNNIIIINNNNGG!", she pleaded as she followed his scent through the school.

Duncan ran into the creepateria, and thrust a nearby mop through the door handles. Then ran to the other door. Locked.

"Talk about a bad time for déjà vu!", he groaned as he dove over the serving counter to hide. The lunch lady who tended the coffee station came out and saw him. He held a finger to his lips, silently begging her not to give him away just as Kala threw herself against the doors. She grunted in frustration, and slammed into them again, causing the lunch lady to run back into the kitchen.

Kala rammed her shoulder into the doors again and this time the mop handle snapped and the doors flew open.

"I know you're in here, my love", she cooed. "Come out, come out, wherever you are?"

A chill went up Duncan's spine. He was trapped in the creepateria, his only exit was blocked by a ghoul whose biological insanity had her dead set on mating with him, even at the cost of her own life. He looked around for anything that could help him.

Following the scent of her beloved, Kala came closer and closer, a sexy sway in her every step; her finger casually tracing along the tray-slide of the serving counter. There. He was just over the counter. Just as she was about to leap over the counter to pounce on her love and mate with him whether he wanted to or not, he leaped into view and began to hurl tomatoes at her. She was able to dodge or block them all until he lunged at her with a pineapple cream-pie. He got her in the face. He was about to dash for the door when he looked up. The big windows. To the outside! He went full kaiju and extended his wings.

"I'll have the owe the school a window!", he said as he smashed through it, just as Kala wiped enough pie off her face to see again. He looked back, and saw her climb the wall and out the window with her tentacles. She leaped up at him, but he was just out of reach. He began to fly toward the back of the school.

"Sorry, Kala", he called cheerfully as he looked back at her. "But I think this is over. As powerful as you are you can't fly-ai-ai-aieee! Hey! What the hell?"

He had flown through one of Wydowna Spyder's webs while he wasn't watching where he was going! It gave way easily enough, but it was sticky and hindering his speed and altitude. He struggled to stay aloft and ahead of Kala. He didn't notice that they were headed toward the swimming pool.

Another near-miss from Kala as they entered the pool-side area and Duncan had enough. He breathed fire on himself to burn off the webs, as Kala jumped into the pool and switched to her tentacled form. She dove deep, then surged upward to leap high out of the water. The move surprised Duncan, and very nearly caught him! As she fell back into the water, he flew higher out of her reach. The only thing on her mind was to mate with her chosen one, make him hers for as long as they lived, and raise family together; spawning many beautiful children. And to her procreation-centered mind, Duncan was the most compatible, most desirable, and most perfect of all available mates on the planet. She dove and surged upward again, only to fall short again. Kala screamed a war cry that would freeze the blood of a kaiju.

Kala Mer'ri surfaced to stare up at her love. So close yet so far! She screamed again in anguish and frustration.

"It's over, Kala", he said, breathing heavy. "You can't reach me."

Just then, Kala noticed the cluster of multi-leveled diving-boards and platforms behind him, and her eyes widened with hope. She dove down and released her ink, darkly clouding the water. Duncan couldn't see her anywhere. Beneath the surface, Kala swam quickly to the diving area and in a series of leaps and bounds up the various levels, she got closer to him before he knew she was there!

"YOU'RE MINE!", she screamed lustily as she made one final insane leap! Time seemed to slow as he turned and saw her, his face twisted with horror as she grabbed him with all four arms and her tentacles!

"Impregnate me!", she begged as they fell toward the water. She let go with one hand to go for his belt . If she got him in the water, he was done! His inner-fire surged and he roared as the flames from his mouth formed a large fire-ball between them and exploded with great force! Kala fell into the water as Duncan sailed backwards to land among some lounge chairs poolside at the far end, barely conscious. He had never done that before, and it took everything he had left. He just hoped that Kala was ok and out cold.

Beneath the water, Kala Mer'ri woke just moments after hitting the water. She was her father's daughter, and the water was healing her at an accelerated rate. However, she was near the end of her endurance. She emerged from the pool not far from Duncan, all her cuts and burns healed, and shifted to two-legs. Duncan saw her naked form approaching him, and passed out, helpless.

"At last", she panted, walking seductively over to her desired mate. She ached to feel his heat pressed against her, inside her, and flood her with such liquid warmth that would make her feel as if she were back in the tropical waters of her home. "Don't worry, my love. I promise a lifetime of pleasures you never dreamed of. And the children!….oh, the children we will have together…. starting now." She unbuckled his belt, licking her lips.

"KALA!"

Kala hissed as she turned to see who dared interrupt…..only to be tackled by a very angry Clawdeen Wolf! After tumbling several times, the werewolf picked the cecaelia up and threw her bodily into the pool. Clawdeen then went to Duncan to see if he was ok. He was breathing ok, but what had that insane move of his done to him?

When Kala rose from the pool again, Clawdeen turned and took a fighting stance to defend her mate, snarling at Kala as she approached.

"Back off, Kala!", she growled. "Duncan is mine! We bonded as life-mates months ago! And you better hope he's not hurt too bad!"

"Don't make me hurt you, Clawdeen!", Kala warned. "I'm half-kaiju, just like him! He belongs with me! You're no match for me in my normal state. They way I am now, I could maim or kill you by accident!"

"Don't even think about it, Seafood Platter!", Clawdeen snarled as Kala stepped closer, and brought out her 'Alpha state'; becoming more wolf-like in appearance, complete with bushy tail emerging from under her short, purple ruffled skirt. "Don't underestimate me! I am the Alpha of all Werewolves, and there ain't no way I'm am letting you anywhere near my mate!"

Kala Mer'ri shrieked again at this challenge. Her mate?!

"You don't understand, Clawdeen! He is the one….the perfect one…the only one who…ugh!", Kala grunted as she fell forward unconscious…to reveal Jinafire, who had snuck up behind the crazed sea monster and delivered a sharp chop to just the right place on the back of Kala's neck.

"Thanks, Jin", Clawdeen breathed, returning to normal. "Even with everything, Kala is still our friend and I really didn't want to hurt her."

"Nor I, Clawdeen", the dragon ghoul said. "Thank you for distracting her long enough for me to get behind her. It is a shame that young sea monster mating cycles are so…..extreme."

"No worries, mates", Lagoona said as she dressed Kala in some fresh clothes that she brought out. "Mating cycles only last about 24 hours, so she'll be fine by tomorrow. Don't be surprised if she won't stop apologizing."

"But what if she wakes up before that?", Frankie asked.

"I can help with that", Claire said as she arrived poolside. She pulled out a small vial and popped the cork. "Aunt Boodika says that this will keep her asleep until dawn tomorrow."

DJ and Joe helped Duncan up as he slowly came to.

"Please tell me she didn't….?", he started to ask.

"Sorry, Hot-Stuff", Clawdeen said sadly. "It looks like you're gonna have at least one kid swimming around the Great Scarrier Reef nine months from now."

"WHAT?!"

Everyone suddenly burst out laughing….Clawdeen loudest of all!

"Y-you sh-should've s-seen your f-faaaaace!", she guffawed, tears of laughter rolling down her cheeks.

"Oh! Very funny, Babe!", he said as he leaned down to kiss her still giggling lips. "You're gonna pay for that…whoa!(a wave of dizziness made him sway on his feet until his friends steadied him again) Just as soon as I can only see one of you!"

"Let's get you to the nurse, Handsome", Clawdeen said, then kissed him deeply.

"I'll put Kala in the pool", Lagoona said. "And I'll stay with her….just in case. Please tell the Headmistress?"

"You got it, ghoul", Frankie said as she and the others went inside.

Author's notes: This was one of the chapters I had planned from the beginning and really looked forward to doing! I gotta thank my friend, Creaturemaster, again for all his help and for the chapters from his stories that inspired me! If any of you haven't done so yet, look him up and check out his works!

I won't get to my next chapter until I post the Lilith/Jason lemon in my rated 'M' work, but it shouldn't take me long.

Reviews and suggestions are welcome as always! No flames, please.
