Rin sat quietly at her table staring at Haru; she would have to buy her clothes tomorrow but for now she could borrow hers. She was a bit bigger than Haru but it would have to do for now; she had just finished a night shift and she was tired.

Before she found Haru she had been working since 8:00 in the evening; then when she found her stranded on the beach it had been 5am. So she had been working for a full 22 hours at work and needed sleep. She was human after all she needed rest and food to sustain her body after working so hard.

However, she couldn't ignore how adorable Haru looked in that oversized white shirt. She mainly kept it in case of guests but that was it. Her breasts peaked in the shirt and her nipples were obvious. While she called Haru pretty as a kid; as a full-grown adult, she would rename her gorgeous.

She tried her best not to make it obvious that she was drooling over Haru. I mean she was her first love after all. Even though she had a few relationships in High school and college; they had never been anything serious. In all honesty she had never gotten over Haru when she said goodbye and her leaving had truly broken her heart.

The days she had spent staring out at the sea wondering if she would catch a glimpse of Haru were endless. Even her brother Gou had become worried if she had become insane or was troubled.

She had never fully explained to him the relationship she had with Haru or where she came from; only that she had been very precious to her. However being an understanding younger brother he had never questioned her once but still been concerned.

During her years in preschool after Haru left she would cry endlessly and get upset when she saw the play pool. It reminded her of the sea and Haru causing her to erupt into tears. The teacher had to calm her down many times as she sobbed the name "Haru" over and over.

After seeing how upset she was over it; the boys in her class stopped teasing her. For all Rin had been stubborn and gotten upset at what they did; she never cried as hard as she did then. Hell a few laid off and even shared their snacks and toys with her in an attempt to cheer her up and make peace.

Haru saw her staring and looked at her blankly. While she was glad to see Rin she had more pressing matters at hand right now. "Rin" Haru stated bluntly. Her journey to get here had not been easy and her transformation had taken a lot out of her.

"Huh? What?!" Rin cried suddenly snapping out her thought trail. God, she must look like such a pervert. But she couldn't exactly help it; she appreciated the female body and Haru was by far the most stunning she had ever seen.

She had dated a few girls in high school and college; but none had ever been as important to her as Haru had been. Most of them had been one night stands or ended in high school because they graduated. However none of them had been as serious as her love for the mermaid she fell for as a child.

Haru pouted crossly; she was aware that humans went through a thing called puberty to develop their bodies for mating. However, she had something a bit more important to deal with right now.

If she felt the urge to bed with Rin or to satisfy her urges; Haru would indefinitely seduce or give herself to Rin. However that was for another time and something that would happen much later. But she would bring it up again later out of her memory file should the situation ever come up in the future.

"In order to get to the surface where I could locate you; my body went under a great deal of stress. I must now rejuvenate myself in order to refresh my energy" Haru explained bluntly.

Swimming from her home under the sea; leaving Makoto and getting to the surface had not been easy. It had taken a lot of swimming and the transformation had been quite stressful and slightly painful.

She had a feeling he would be worrying over her right now; most likely he would visit her to see if she was ok. Of course he would panic and over think everything; leaving her to calm him down and assure him she was ok. While he did know about Haru's feelings and promise to Rin; he did worry if she even remembered Haru or still loved her the same.

Rin blinked at stared at her obliviously; who knew Haru was capable of talking so aristocratically. It made her wonder if she was actually a princess back home under the sea. Not that she hated it; she found it very adorable really.

Haru growled crossly; she was aware humans were more advanced than her but she couldn't even understand a simple request? Hadn't she learned to communicate in school or did she just spend her time sleeping in her classes?

"I need to refill my energy levels after my long journey which I had to exhaust myself for in order to find you!" Haru snapped quickly. She needed to fill her body and soon; or she feared she would pass out.

Human bodies needed energy to keep them going; if they didn't have sustenance their brain power dropped and their performance levels decreased. In order to keep her body at full potential and fit in; Haru needed energy.

Rin stared at her quietly then smiled awkwardly; she had no idea what Haru was trying to say. She was speaking in such a weird way that she had no idea of what she was saying.

She did pretty well in her classes at school and college; getting B's and C's but not even what she learned in education could help her understand what Haru was saying. She sounded like a woman out of the Victorian era with that way of speaking.

Haru tried to get up to take care of her needs herself but couldn't get up. She almost fell over attempting to get up due to not being used to her legs. Damn it; why did they have to be so complicated to use?!

Rin got up to help her "Geez Haru take it easy! You've only had them for 2 hours you're still breaking them in" she reminded her anxiously. She needn't push herself when she wasn't used to having them yet.

Because Haru had only just gotten her legs; she was still unstable and Rin had been forced to help her the entire way. Her legs were no longer shaky but she was still weak in the legs due to not being used to using them.

With her day off tomorrow she was going to spend half of it helping Haru to walk; the other she would spend on groceries and clothes for Haru. Given how she was going to be living here with her as she couldn't exactly leave her alone; she had a lot to do.

It wasn't going to be easy mind you; Haru was a mermaid adapting to modern life after living under the sea all her life. So adjusting to the norms of human life and culture was going to be a big shock to Haru. But Rin would be there every step of the way to help her fit into her society and act like a normal girl.

Suddenly there was a loud growl from Haru's stomach to which the two went silent. The silence lasted for a few minutes before Haru flushed red. She cursed her human body for embarrassing her like this; humans were so confusing.

A smile of amusement spread across Rin's face. So, that whole posh conversation of Haru's was her way of saying she was hungry. She really was too cute for words. She could have just told her; but then that wouldn't be like her at all.

Haru saw her expression and pouted; it wasn't her fault that Rin was too slow to pick up on her subtle hints. "Don't get any funny ideas!" she retorted sharply her tone stubborn. Her language was far different to Rin's so they were bound to sound strange to her.

Rin sat and stared at her for a while her body shaking with excitement and the happy emotions running through her. She just couldn't handle the scene in front of her right now; she wasn't ready for this sort of thing mentally or emotionally.

"YOU ARE TOO CUTE HARU!" Rin cried loudly her body overflowing with excitement. Who knew her childhood friend and crush was such a Tsundere. Not that she was complaining at all; in fact she loved it.

The fact that she had tried to convey her hunger for food in such a way was beyond adorable. She could have just told her bluntly instead; but then she couldn't enjoy this moment. God she was going to tease the crap out of her about this; if it meant Haru would act all shy about it.

Haru blushed fiercely as Rin eloped her in a hug. She smelled like sweat and sea air; but it wasn't too overpowering. She had probably been working all night before she met her; poor thing.

The fact that Rin worked so hard to protect innocent humans warmed Haru's heart. The children, animals, men, women and elderly people she must have helped or saved made Haru happy. However she couldn't help but worry that she could or might have been hurt while performing her duties a cop.

Her body was warm; just like it was back then. Only this time instead of being able to hug a small child; she was being hugged by a mature woman. Her shape and size had greatly changed since back then; yet her body knew that this person was still the same Rin that loved her back then.

She clicked her teeth crossly pushing Rin off with her hand; while she was glad to see her it wasn't like her stomach was being filled. She needed food now. "If you have time to be clingy then you have time to cook me sustenance" Haru retorted crossly. Secretly she had enjoyed the hug; but she didn't want to admit it.

Rin grinned at her playfully; she was going to enjoy having such a Tsundere roommate from now on. Life was surely going to be a lot more interesting from now on. God she couldn't wait to tease the crap out of her.

She had plenty of ideas and scenarios of how to tease or embarrass Haru in the future but that would have to wait. She had time to plan it but for now the young mermaid needed her help and needed feeding.

She ruffled Haru's head playfully "Sadly I don't have much in at the minute; but I'm going shopping tomorrow. Will rice omelette suffice?" she asked kindly. It was simple but filling; as all she had right now was eggs and leftover rice.

"If I can consume it there will be no problem" Haru retorted bluntly her tone hinting eager. It did sound delicious though she had never heard of such a thing. As long as it quenched the space in her stomach there would be no problem.

Rin bit her lip stifling a laugh; at least she could enjoy breakfast with company today. Better than eating alone and bored like she had been doing before. She could only imagine Haru's face lighting up as she tasted it.

"STOP TEASING ME AND GET COOKING!" Haru scolded irritably throwing a stuffed dolphin at Rin's head impatiently. However she didn't realize how cute that actually made her look to Rin.

Rin removed the pillow and put int back on her bed quietly. She then got up to make breakfast; she would make sure to prepare the best damn omelette Haru had ever tasted. A way to a woman's heart was through her stomach after all.

"Yes Princess Haru" she teased playfully as she hurried out of the door before Haru could attack again. Even if Haru attacked her; the punishment would be worth it to see her reaction.
