Discovery

Out side of the home everyone was in their mer-people form and they had cast a spell on Hiei so he could be a merman. His tail was black wih some red spots in it and the fin looked like it had been cut up. He was top less which showed that parts of his upper body had some scales on them. The fins on his arms were also black with red spots and so were his gills. He had gone and with touched them curious about them and he had almost drowned. His ears were also a bit pointy and webbed along with his hands.

Caralama had told him how to find the air giving stone. So far he had found ten and it wasn't as easy as he thought it would have been. Caralama had found twenty and they both had the most stones so far. Caralama was swimming right beside him and at first Hiei couldn't keep his eyes off of her. She looked almost exactly like Nakada except with out the colour of the seashells in her hair and her tail was a sliver gold colour like her hair. Caralama nudged him and he looked over to her. She pointed to a cave and swam in. Hiei began to feel the same thing he felt with the other air breathing stones and followed her. Caralama was still in the water with her pendant giving off a warm kind of glow when he saw her. He swam up to see what she was looking at with his pendant, that had the shape of a katana, giving off the same kind of glow and he couldn't believe what he saw.

There were huge drawings on the walls but they were hard to make out. The other thing was there were more air breathing stones in here and other priceless jewels, gems, and other things than anywhere else. Caralama took hold of Hiei's hands and began to spin around the room with him.

"Do you know what this place is Hiei!" she asked to him as she let go and went to one the paintings, "This is an old Sign memorial they were said to be lost or destroyed but we found one! This is going to make the Signs so happy! These paintings tell about some of our past. The Signs can easily make them like new again and so we will be able to read them properly!" and with that she took him for another spin and they both swam out of the cave making sure they could find it again.

When they found the Signs they were all huddled together talking to someone, "Oh wait a minute here they are now," Squall said with a smile on his face pointing toward Caralama and Hiei. They both swam up and Caralama gave an excited squeal when she saw Jennah.

"Ahh Jennah you're here! I thought you weren't going to show up!" Caralama swam up to to the violet mermaid and gave her a big hug around her waist.

"Hi ya squirt," said Jennah returning the hug, "I hear you got ride of Alfred and this is the demon that did it huh?" she looked toward Hiei with a smile on her face. Hiei managed to force a smile somehow and nodded.

"But I'll tell you what I told Caralama. I couldn't have done it without her or Yoko." Caralama let go of Jennah and swam back to Hiei with her cheeks a bit pink.

"Wait until you see what Hiei and I found! A Sign memorial and its in good condition except for the smudged paintings!" Caralama said with a huge smile on her face. The Signs just stared at them as if not believing what Caralama was saying.

"But I thought they were all destroyed!" Rinoa said (Squall's girl friend.) Rinoa had waist length black hair with some natural red high lights, with hazel brown eyes and high cheekbones. Her skin was fair and milky white. Her waist was small and she was about an inch higher then Squall's shoulder. Her voice was deep and musical and wonderful to listen to.

"I know but we found one with tons of jewels and other priceless things. My pendant could since the energy that they gave off and so I know that it isn't a fake," Caralama said in a tired ton as if she couldn't believe they were just swimming there with dumb looks on their faces, "Hiei and I will lead you to it and you can see for your self's if it is a fake or not!" Caralama began swimming off to the place where Hiei and her had found the memorial. Hiei followed her and then the Signs went after them.

When they got to the memorial the Signs went in and checked it out. They came back and they had huge smiles on their faces as well, "Your right Caralama this is a true Sign memorial! How in all of the worlds did you two find it?" Zell said as he swam up to Hiei and Caralama.

"We were just looking for breathing stones,"Hiei began.

"And we stumbled onto this," Caralama finished. The Signs couldn't believe what they had just heard and then they were laughing so hard they were on their backs.

"Maybe we should get you two to look for breathing stones more often," Squall said wiping some tears that were in his eyes, "You two found in one day what we have searching for, for I don't know how long."

Caralama couldn't help but giggle a bit and turned to Hiei, "Their right you know they have been searching before I was even born and they hadn't found anything. And this place isn't to far from home either," Caralama toppled over laughing and Hiei just chuckled a bit.

"We should probably tell Nakada about this," Irvine said getting up from the sea floor. Irvine had long brown hair up in a ponytail with the bangs hanging from both sides of his face framing it. He had silver eyes that would have made him look like he was blind except for the black pupil. He had sun-tanned skin and was Squall's height.

"Your probably right," Squall said as he looked back toward their home which wasn't really that far off, "I can't believe we didn't see it," Squall said to himself.

"What was that Squall?" he turned around and saw Rinoa smiling at him. Squall took her hand and pressed her knuckles to his mouth and said.

"I was just saying how we weren't able to find this memorial after long years of searching and then these two who aren't really looking for it," Squall looked toward Hiei and Caralama with a smile on his face with Rinoa's hand still in his, "have found it by looking for something entirely different," Squall gave a slight chuckle and released Rinoa's hand.

"Well it's just like our sister say's Squall," with a smile on her face Talia appeared behind Squall and jumped him. Talia as the exact image of Nakada the only difference is that Nakada has icy blue eyes and Talia has emerald green eyes and she smiles a lot, "The most simplest things can make the most biggest of differences," Talia said hugging her brother around the neck as he tried to get her off.

She finally got off his back and started swimming towards the Signs home. Caralama looked at Hiei and extended her hand, "You had better hold on," she smiled as he took it and held on tight to her hand. Caralama gave a little giggle and they were swimming at high speeds towards the home. They easily passed the rest of the Signs and when they were just about to hit the door of the home Caralama started to swim backwards and they slowed down to a stop, "First ones here again," she said with a smile.

Caralama put her pendant close to one side of the wall and there was a sudden multicolored light come from the pendant and a door opened. They went in and the door closed behind them. The water suddenly began to drain from the room and soon Hiei and Caralama were on the floor still as a merman and a mermaid.

"Hiei can you please close your eyes for a second," Caralama asked looking towards him. Hiei closed his eyes and there was a flash of light and then he heard Caralama say, "Okay Hiei you can open your eyes now," he opened his eyes and saw that Caralama had legs again. She went over to him and knelt beside him. She had a towel in her hands and wrapped it around Hiei's waist and then said some words and Hiei began to feel his legs wrapped up in the towel. He also noticed that he was naked! Caralama turned around as he stood up and positioned the towel around his waist a bit better. He walked up beside Caralama and saw that she had a smile on her face.

"We just can't stop that from happening," she said while covering her mouth. He gave a little smile as well and followed her to the door of the men's locker room, "We made some more clothes like yours knowing this was going to happen," she looked at the door, "There should be a locker in there with your name on it."

He nodded and went in while Caralama went and sat on a bench. When Hiei was in the locker room he found his locker a few minutes later and got dressed. When he was out in the hallway all the Signs were already there and they were dressed in the same clothes they had been wearing when they went in to the water.

Caralama walked over to him looking a bit sad, "We might not be able to look into the memorial today," She said as they started to walk away from the Signs, "It seems Nakada is in one of her down moods. She has always been like that every sense I was born," Caralama walked slowly to her room and invited Hiei in. Her room was full of music CD's, a computer, bookshelves filled with magic books and story books, her bed was big and could hold at least two people and had navy blue curtains hanging from the sides. There was also a desk that had a lamp, pens, pencils, and some paper as well.

Caralama sat on her bed and Hiei sat on the chair at the desk. There was nothing girly about Caralama's room, except made the few Barbie dolls on the desk but that was about it. He looked at her and saw that she had a worried look on her face to show that she was thinking hard about something. She looked up at Hiei and looked like she was going to say something but she stopped and looked down again.

"Caralama if you're thinking that you're the reason why Nakada is so unhappy don't think that. She probably has a lot on her mind to get her into a bad mood," Hiei looked at her and saw no change. She can be so stubborn at times. He thought to himself.

"I learn from the best Hiei," He looked at Caralama and saw that she was trying to suppress a smile. He smiled and went over to her and sat on the bed next to her and kissed her lightly on the cheek. She turned her head and looked at him then she cupped his cheek with one hand and kissed him on the lips. He closed his eyes as she kissed him. He began to tug at her lips with his teeth to allow him entrance. Caralama smiled and opened her mouth and Hiei gently slipped into her mouth. They kissed like that for about five minutes and finally broke apart. Caralama had made it clear to Hiei that she did not want to be marked until she thought she was ready and he respected her wishes and didn't mark her...yet. But he would kiss like that from time to time. Caralama had a big smile on her face as she rested her head on his chest and listened to his heart thumping strongly in his chest. Hiei leaned back onto the bed and began to stroke behind her ears as they lay like that. Caralama smiled again and began to purr against his chest the way he always liked. He had a smile on her face as well while holding her close with one arm around her waist, and one hand stroking behind Caralama's ears. They soon found themselves asleep that way.
