A/N: Yep. Finally updated. Was anyone ready to go homicidal? Heh, I'm really sorry about the lag, guys - once more. And I noticed that I've been writing Verg instead of Belg. Um. Why the hell did I think his name was Verg? I have the DVDs so I'll have to check that out... Eh.

Cry to Cerulean

Chapter Two × Emotion

The human had been sitting on the edge of the pier, his feet dangling, a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, and a content expression on his face. He watched the two of us - Katsuma and I. We had stared at each other for a while as our heads poked out of the water. He narrowed his eyes at me - but an ecstatic smile on his face. The one subject that puzzled me was why he'd come to return for me. He was, after all, almost utterly responsible for me being here in the first place. He did bring me down to the seafloor and that was when Belg had me.

My eyes made their way up to the human who watched us intently. He looked at me and puffed out breath of smoke that floated towards me. I slunk my head lower into the water so only my eyes weren't submerged. The smoke seemed to disappear as it floated around my head. My green eyes traced their way up and down the human's body, resting on his eyes.

He grinned and chuckled for a moment. But that chuckle only lasted a moment until he stopped abruptly. My ears perked up and I raised my head from the water. A small wave made its pass by Katsuma and me. I took my eyes off of the human, who had been staring far into the horizon, and gazed at Katsuma.

He looked at me and I looked at him. Something told me to keep my guard up. Something was coming and it didn't feel good - or right. I lowered myself into the water again. This time, every time a small wave passed by, my eyes would be under water. I stared at Katsuma who looked at me, then back into the distance of the ocean's horizon. There didn't seem to be anything back there. Suddenly, Katsuma came close to me and I froze.

"What's your name?" he asked in a hoarse whisper as his lips almost touched my ear, which I drew back as his breath came in contact with my ear.

I turned my head to look up at him. I blinked. "A name doesn't matter." My soft voice came out in almost a whisper, it probably wasn't heard by Katsuma.

"If we live through this, no-name, I'll find you," he whispered in my pulled-back ears. I didn't understand what he was talking about or thinking about. To my surprise, he touched my hand, which was underwater, and pulled them up to the surface, holding my hand out in the air. He had fingers - just like me.

My eyes softened and I stared up at him, dazed and confused. I thought I was the only one with hands like a human's. All this time, the man had a limp cigarette dangling out of his mouth as he stared out into the distance of the ocean. Katsuma laced his fingers with mine and stared at our hands while I stared at him.

"It's nice to know someone's out there." His voice was almost as quiet as the sea breeze. He turned to look at me, a smile, then the human. "See you later, Tetsu Hayami," he uttered to the human as he unlaced our fingers.

I realized the human understood what Katsuma had said. Hayami was his name, wasn't it? But how did he understand? Did Katsuma know this human's language? Suddenly, before I could say a word to the blue-eyed creature, he dove underwater. As he dove, his hand traced down my arm, my leg, and my fin and then suddenly I felt nothing more. He was gone.

I cried out and dove underwater when some motion in the waves pulled me to the side. I resurfaced and saw Hayami, the human, stare in awe at the incredibly enormous wave that had seemed to blanket it's way across the sky in the distance.

It was a tsunami.

I didn't know what to do at that moment. The only thing I could think of was to get Hayami off land and into water, where, hopefully, he would be safe. But humans... they can't breath under water...

I grabbed onto Hayami's dangling leg and pulled him into the water. "What the-" I heard him holler out before he was pulled under water. I kept on pulling him deeper and deeper. My fins kicked wildly in the water as I held onto the booted calf of his leg. I pulled him towards me, my hands trailing up his leg and over his chest. I still attempted to dive deeper. His eyes were wide and his mouth opened slightly. I realized what I could do.

Bubbles suddenly came out of his mouth and he closed his eyes. Hayami was going to drown. I clawed onto his shirt and begged him to breathe. He wouldn't because he couldn't. The blue darkness engulfed us. I still kept swimming deeper until I reached the ground of the bottom. I skimmed the seafloor swimming farther out to sea. The huge wave would surely wipe everything out on land. I looked back at Hayami, taking my eyes off of my target that was as far as I could see. His eyes rolled back into his hand and I gasped.

I pressed my mouth against his, opening his mouth and mine. I sucked the water out of his lungs and breathed in for him. He coughed a few times and all I did was spit the water out through my nose. I haven't done this before and I've never seen it done but I knew it was possible for a human to breathe underwater with a sea-mutant, like me, close by.

He hung limp in my finned arms. I swam as fast as I could. The wreckage of human buildings scratched me every now and then since I was so close to the seafloor. But I was determined to save this human as he saved me.

A huge stir of the water pulled me back for a few moments as I struggled desperately to keep moving with him in my arms and him pressed against my mouth. The huge underwater wave seemed to disappear or it had already passed by. But it still pulled back at me, kicking frantically.

I looked down at him again. He was staring at me. His eyes were slightly open but he was still staring at me. I kept on breathing into his lungs. He can't die right now.

After a while of swimming, the pressure in the water died down. She swam to the surface with him in her arms. When the submerged she took her mouth off of his and stared at him for a moment. He seemed mused. I smiled at him to comfort him. The only thing he did was sink under water. I grabbed him before his head went under and pulled him back up. He didn't say anything. The only sound was his breathing. Nothing else was in sight. Deep blue screamed at us. Humans didn't belong here. I sensed Belg here.

I didn't know I could feel love. But at that moment I did. It wasn't a lust but a strong caring for this human that had saved me. I returned his favor. I wrapped my finned arms around him feeling his back and stroking his soggy hair. He still hung limp - probably from shock. His warm breath I felt on my shoulder. He shivered. I held him closer. He saved my life - I saved his life. We stayed like that for a while.

And it was a long while.
