Blue -Niagra: Yeah, Sumire's evil in this and in this chappie you find out the deal Grandpa and Sumire made, and this deal is mainly about Mikan, but it has something to do with all the mermaids aswell... All the mermaids, excluding Mikan, get to have their senses back while Mikan has to put up with hers. Read on and find out...

Chapter Three: Their Senses...

Khiara was happily running about after Youichi, who was laughing as Khiara jumped on him and they fell on the ground, dizzy and happy. Khiara had her long hair back, and she was no longer ill. All the girls were happy, but Mikan was only pretending. She wanted Natsume to see her as a mermaid and not a ditzy girl who was clumsy and had no voice.

"Wow, they get along famously. Never thought Youichi would fall for a girl that fast, after seeing that mer..." Natsume shut up as he passed the girls, he thought they would think he was crazy that he had seen a mermaid, little did any of them know, they were the mermaids! Koko walked in, yawning and scratching his head, first thing he noticed, was the pretty Anna sitting at the end of the table, eating her breakfast. Anna looked up and over her shoulder, staring at him and she smiled.

Then he suddenly fell over and started to laugh at something random, something stupid. Koko was laughing at... A strand of hair. Yes, I am not kidding, hair. (he is so crazy in this fic!) and Anna pouted, wishing she could hit him and hear his laugh. He was really annoying and stupidly random. Mikan sighed and rolled her eyes, then she and her friends saw Youichi hug Khiara tightly when she fell.

"Awww... Sweet." Anna whispered, staring at them as Nonoko sighed and looked down at her lap, wishing she could see the cute moment. Youichi then gave Khiara a big smacker on the cheek and the little girl turned rosey red as Koko burst out laughing, and Nonoko was ready to kill him, wishing that Anna could hear Koko once again.

Koko soon stopped laughing and stood up, brushing himself off as Ruka and Yuu walked in, and they watched as Khiara hugged Youichi and Youichi hugged her back, then she kissed him on the cheek as Youichi blushed and Mikan smiled, so did Anna and Nonoko, who knew what was going on from all the sighs and Natsume, Ruka, Yuu and Koko smiled while Hotaru sat there, hating herself for not smiling or even caring. Then Natsume stared at all the girls as Yuu smiled over at Nonoko.

"Hey, Nonoko, I don't have anything to do today, so can we like... Hang out?" Yuu asked Nonoko as she stood up, wishing to see his face, and she smiled and blushed as he took her hand and she nodded.

"Yes, that would be... Nice. You can tell me what we're looking at! I know! Let's go see something like, the library! You can read to me, I love books, don't you!" Nonoko asked as Yuu smiled and took her hands in his, and he walked out of the room, leading the way as Nonoko smiled and he started to talk about books and what he liked best.

Then Koko stared at Anna, who looked up at him and smiled, feeling hopeful to spend the day with him. He stared at her then walked towards her and held out his hand, and Anna gasped then smiled as she stood up and put her hand in his as Youichi grinned and wolf whistled.

"Hey kid, shut up! I'm taking Anna to see something cool. I hope she likes firworks. Cos' I wanna show her them," Koko said as he smiled and Youichi laughed, remembering what Koko had done the last time he had found a set of fireworks, and Natsume had been angry when Koko had done that.

"Don't blow the toilet up this time, Koko! You girlyfriend won't be too impressed bog boy!" Youichi laughed as Koko stuck his tongue out, and Anna giggleled as she held his hand and stared at Youichi, who was smirking, until Koko said something back with his wit.

"Don't make out with your own girlyfriend, or her lips'll blow up, see ya kiddies!" Kokos aid, running out of the room before Natsume and Youichi could throw a fork and a plate at him, he was such an idiot sometimes, but it amused Anna to no end! Anna was smiling and giggleling as Koko ran with her outside, but it was still early, so he would show her his secret den that he had made.

"Youichi, why don't you take Khiara to the park? I bet she would like that, you two should get to know each other more." Ruka said as Youichi stared at his brothers best friend then nodded and smiled, grabbing Khiara's hand and dragging her out of the room as Khiara hugged his arm and giggled, then she was lifted onto his abck and Youichi let her have a piggy back as she squealed in delight, and he ran out of the room as Natsume chuckled, and Mikan smiled, staring at Natsume as he stared at his brother, then stared at her and grinned as Mikan blushed then tried to hide herself, wishing she could giggle.

Ruka stared over at Hotaru, and smiled to himself as he stared at her, and he blushed then suddenly turned pale again, shaking his head. H e walked towards her and smiled, staring at her as she stared at him, her eyes wide.

"Hey, Hotaru, let's go see the pets, Ii want to show you my puppy, he's so cute and I bet he'll like youi! Come on, I won't take no for an answer. Come on!" Ruka said as Hotaru opened her mouth to say something, but she was pulled up and he ran out of the room as she followed, her heart hurting that she couldn't say anything nice.

"Don't hate me, please... You don't know how hard it is to be so cold like this." Hoatru thought as Ruka smiled and ran along the halls and out of the house, taking her to the kennels where his puppy was and he showed her Jet, the cute cocker spaniel, and it bounded over to Hotaru as she stared at it coldly, and it started to lick her and she fell on the floor as Rruka laughed.

"He likes you! He really likes you!" Ruka said and he smiled as Hotaru pushed the puppy away, wiping drool from her face as Ruka laughed and helped her up. Hotaru looked angry, but inside, she was laughing.because it was so funny. Ruka smiled as she stared at him, then turned around.

"Erm... Let's do something else, okay?" Hotaru said as Ruka stopped laughing and stared at her, what was wrong with this girl? Why did she always look so unemotional and why did she act so cold and why was she bored? Ruka still followed her, though. No matter how evil she was he liked her.

Meanwhile, Mikan and Natsume were staring out of the window, the others had gone off with the ones they liked, and Natsume didn't know what to say to her, and Mikan just wanted to run out of the place! She loved him but was so embaressed, she stared at him and then looked away, what could she do?

Then Mikan stood up when Natsume looked in her direction and smiled a little, and she smiled back, hoping he would take her somewhere liek the others had done. But all that was lost. Mikan suddenly heard something only she could hear because she was a mermaid, she had heard a mermaids cry, and the mermaids cry included her name! It was for her!

Mikan gasped and turned around, running out of the room as Natsume stared at her and stood up, seeing her run out of the room as he watched, then he ran after her but stopped at the door, and yelled her name.

"Mikan! Where are you going!? Mikan!" he yelled as she ran down the halls, breathing heavily, and she ran out of the house and she looked around, and saw figures in the sea water and she gasped, running towards the beach and jumping over the fence. Mmikan fell on her knee's when she saw her grandpa and Anna, Nonoko's and Khiara's parents and Hotaru's mom. She stared at them as they all stared at her,t hen smiled. Mikan had tears in her eyes as she stared at her grandfather.

"Grandpa! Oh thank goodness us Mmermaids can speak through our minds! Grandpa, you found out where I was!" Mikan cried in her mind as her grandfather nodded, then looked at Mikan sternly as tears fell on the soft sand. They stared at each other and he stared at her very sternly.

"Mikan, we have questions that you will answer once you return to your world, but right now there are bigger problems at hand, did you really swap your beautiful voice for a potion that could make you a human!" her grandfather asked as Mikan stared at him, then sighed and gave a small nod, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Well, I am very disapointed in you, Mikan Sakura! But that's not the point, we can reverse this, I know you made a pact, if you ever return to the sea, you turn into foam a year later, correct? And if you return to the human world after returning to the mer-world, you instantly turn into sea foam, well... We went to see Sumire, the one who gave you a potion, and we made a deal with her." the grandpa said as Mikan stared at him and gasped, what was this deal?

"A deal, what kind of deal? This is bad, I don't feel good, why do I feel so ill? What did they agree on!?" Mikan asked herself as her eyes stared at the sand, and her grandfather nodded, then Khiara's foster parents swam towards Mikan and cluthched their hands, staring at the young girl.

Natsume...

Natsume sat in the window seat as he sighed, when someone walked in and he looked up to see Hotaru, who stared at him as she walked towards him and held something out to him. Natsume looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"It's Mikan's 11th birthday, give her this, she would appreciate it. Say happy Birthday from Imai if you can, bye." Hotaru said as she walked out of the room and Natsume stared at the box she had left on his lap and stared at what was inside of it, and he smiled. He then stood up and walked out of the room and found a card, starting to write on it, then he found something else he had kept safe,

Mikan...

"Mikan, we went to see Sumire and asked if she could reverse the spell she had cast upon you all! She agreed to it, but for one thing. Sumire said that if she had one thing from you, she would let you return to the sea world and that you could come up to the human world all you like and you would never turn into sea foam! But that one thing she needs from you... Cry Mikan and make a blue pearl! As long as she has the sea pearl from your tears, you can return all you want to the sea and to this world! So will the others, but just give her the pearl!" Khiara's adoptive mother cried as Mikan's eyes widened, and she felt herself fall onto the sand. She stared at the ground as she clutched her hands tightly, was this true?

Mikan fell into darkness, she knew why Sumire wanted that pearl, and that pearl would be the key to getting at Natsume.

"My blue pearl... If I gave her my blue pearl, she would use it to tell Natsume she's the one he loves, she would pretend to be me... That's why she wants my voice! I have to stop her, but I can't... I have no other way to stop her now, I have to give her my pearl now, or I will turn into foam anyway... I have... No choice." Mikan thought as she cried, and tears fell on the ground as the merfolk stared at her, listening to her thoughts as she lifted her hands, and a tear fell into her palms. It glowed and turned into a blue pearl. Mikan knew she was making a mistake, but she had no other way or choice.

Mikan held out her palm as she turned her head away, tears in her eyes as her grandfather took it out of her hand and smiled, patting her on the head as she cried, trying not to face them. Then Mikan slapped his hand away, and stood up, running away as they sighed, and went back into the water, swimming back to their own world as Hotaru's mom stared at him and shook her head.

"Do you think we did the right thing?" she asked as Mikan's grandfather nodded and smiled, going in the direction of Sumire's cave and sighing, staring at them.

"It's for the best, Mikan will think that she did the wrong thing, but really, it's for the best, I don't really want my only relative turning into sea foam if she returns. Come on, Sumire will be waiting," he said as they all sigjhed and followed him. Sumire sat in her cave, holding up a potion bottle as she laughed and stared at the sense floating inside of it, and she laughed again, smiling darkly as she held the bottle in the air.

"With her pearl and her voice in my own hands, Natsume will fall for me! Mikan will have nothing left any longer, I will finally have my revenge on those stupid mermaids! Mikan will have no heart left once Natsume falls for me!" Sumire said in an evil voice as she laughed, more like a cackle, and the parents and Grandfather handed over the pearl...

MERMAIDSMERMAIDSMERMAIDSMERMAIDS!

Mikan sat on the sand as she cried and tears streamed down her pale cheeks. Natsume walked up towards the beach, and he saw her and smiled, then he walked towards Mikan and stood behind her and stared at her, he heard soft sobs and gasped, was she crying, he walked towards her and put a hand on her shoulder. Mikan turned around and gasped, staring at him as he looked at her, then smiled.

"Hey, I heard it was your birthday. Hotaru told me to give you this present. It's some candy, and here, I have something for you." Natsume said as he helped her to stand up and Mikan stared at him, had she forgotten her own birthday? Mikan looked at him as he gave her the candy, then he handed over a small box with a pink ribbon on the top of it, and she stared at him, then opened the box and gasped at what she saw, and he grinned.

"Do you like it? I'll put it on you. It was my mothers, but... She died in a ship wreck, but if you wear it, then we can be together forever, I mean, I like you, I really do. You actually make me smile, Mikan. Happy Birthday," Natsume said as he put the bangle on her wrist, and Mikan stared at it as he started to walk away and tears filled her eyes as she smiled, holding the bangle in her hand as she watched him walk away. It was a gold bangle with a blue diamond in it. He liked her, he really did! Mikan was so happy that he did have feelings for her.

"Natsume... Do you realise how happy you make me? If anything happened to you... My heart would surely brake into pieces, though..." Mikan said to herself as she watched him walk away, then she started to walk away aswell, smiling to herserlf, she wanted to sing for joy...

Nonoko was reading with Yuu as she laughed and smiled brightly whenever he said something. Nonoko was happy to be with him and to be next to him, he smiled whenever he looked at the pretty girl and when they stood up, Nonoko acidentally tripped and he stopped her from crashing to the floor, and she laughed then hugged him tightly.

"I'm glad you're near me now, Yuu, because if I wasn't next to you, I would surely fall! Hahahaha! But you know, seeing isn't all that, right now I don't have to look at your face to see that you're a kind person, and who knows what you look like? But you know, I really have feelings for you, Yuu! I think I love you!" Nonoko said suddenly, and Yuu gasped, suddenly realising his feelings for the young girl and he smiled, then leaned in, and he kissed her as she gasped, then she suddenly saw the library, and the boy kissing her.

Nonoko could see again! She gasped and pulled away, and Yuu stared at her, then suddenly saw himself in her own eyes and he stared at her, speechless as Nonoko grabbed his hands and smiled, staring at him as tears filled her large eyes. She could see him, she could see the one she loved the most.

"Yuu! I can see again!" Nonoko cried as she hugged him, he had fallen in love with her, even if she was blind, she was so happy. But were her friends getting along well? Or not?...

SUMIRESUMIRESUMIRESUMIRESUMIRESUMIRE

"Hm, I wonder where he is?" Sumire asked herself as she stared at the house next to the beach. Sumire saw Mikan walking up the cliff, and she growled, then she saw two people sitting on the edge of another cliff, it was Koko and Anna, and they were waiting for the fireworks to start, it was almost dark. Sumire then grinned and held up a potion bottle in her hand, holding the sense of Mikan's beatiful voice.

"I hate that little mermaid, no matter, once I drink her voice, I will instantly have her voice and only Natsume will fall for me, he will only have me and not that stupid Mikan! I can't wait... She'll so brake into pieces and her heart will surely brake when she see's that Natsume only loves me!" Sumire said as she grinned and ducked into the water, staring at the potion bottle and the blue pearl on a chain around her neck...

MERMAIDSMERMAIDSMERMAIDSMERMAIDSMERMAIDS

Anna sat with Koko, watching the stars appear in the sky as she smiled, then looked at her annoying companion and she smiled brightly as he grinned, watching the sky and waiting for the fireworks to start. He had a suprise for Anna with the fireworks, he had arranged something, even if she couldn't hear the sound of the fireworks, she could still watch their bright colours!

"I can't wait till they start! I bet they'll look pretty!" Anna yelled as Koko smiled and laughed, staring at her and looking at her beautiful smile, then he looked up at the sky as the fireworks started and Anna gasped, staring at them as she smiled and jumped up, clapping her hands as Koko grinned and laughed at her child like actions. She was so cute!

"What are they again? I forget? I don't know, but it begins with an 'F', oh I remeber!" Anna thought as she smiled, watching the fireworks blow up in the sky, then one blew up with her name in pink letters, and her eyes widened and sparkeled as Koko grinned, glad with his own handy work as Anna gasped and laughed.

"Wow! The flowers blooming in the sky are saying my name!" Anna suddenly cried, and Koko stopped laughing, realising what she had just said and he gasped as he stared at her, and Anna looked at him as she smiled brightly, and Koko remembered something important from some time ago before he had met the human Anna...

FLASHBACK

"Ah, so flowers grow in the sky too! Mamma said they grew on the land, so pretty!" Anna said, then one of the boys started to laugh, and Anna turned to to glare up at him, but she suddenly fell in love with him. He had sandy coloured hair and a very annoying laugh, but he was so handsome! Anna's eyes didn't fall from him once while he was laughing.

"Hahahaha! That's not right! They're fireworks! They make the sky look colourful, they aren't flowers! Hahaha!" he laughed...

END FLASHBACK

"Huh? Could it be... She does look like her and... She's that mermaid who was so!... Oh my!... Anna's my mermaid!" Koko thought as he gasped and stared at her as she looked at him and giggled, then he stood up and grabbed her by the shoulders, staring at her as she stared at him, then he looked at her and shook his head, then suddenly kissed her as she gasped, her eyes widening. Anna then pushed him away, tears in her eyes as she stared at him, then she heard it. She heard the fireworks blowing up, she heard his voice.

"Anna... You;re that mermaid! You're the one who saved me! So that means, aren't all of you the mermaids who saved us!? Anna, you... You never told us!" Koko cried as her tears fell down her face, and she then hugged him tightly and stayed in his arms, tears in her eyes as she shook while he held her, she sobbed as she looked up at him and shook her head, satring at the one boy she loved the most in the world. Wishing she had told him she was a mermaid sooner!

"Koko... I couldn't tell you! I didn't think you would believe me! I mean, I lost my sense to hear you laugh, to hear anything! I thought you would just think I was diluded!" Anna said as she cried and shook her head, then Koko sighed and hugged her, then realised something and stared at her.

"This means all of you are mermaids! Is that why Khiara's hair grew longer when Youichi hugged her and kissed her!? And she suddenly got better, you all came back, but what happened to your senses? Tell me, Anna!" Koko said as Anna stared at him, and started to cry as she sobbed into his chest, then looked out at the black ocean, staring at it as tears dripped down her face...

Hotaru started to walk away as Ruka ran after her and smiled, standing next to her, but Hotaru glared at him, and she walked faster to try and get away from him, but Ruka called her name and grabbed her wrist, but the young girl suddenly slapped his hand away and pushed him to the ground, glaring at him.

"Don't touch me! You annoying little boy, I don't want you to look at me!" Hotaru yelled as Ruka stared at her, shocked at her actions, he had grown to like her, he really liked her, and everything he did... Nothing had changed the way she was. She was still cold. He stared at her as he started to shake.

"Hotaru... Have you always been this cold? I have never met anyone more cold or evil than you are! You just push everyone away, I wonder how Mikan can stand you! Do you push her away, do you hate her like you hate me? You know, I really really like you, Hotaru, I gave you a chance because I want to know you for who you are, I think I love you, but I guess it's hard for a girl with no heart to love anyone!" Ruka yelled, and Hotaru gasped as she stepped back, his words cutting through her black heart, and her heart started to sear with pain and she fell on her knee's, the blackness suddenly fading away...

"Ruka... I-I'm sorry... I-I never meant for it to... Ruka you don't know what I've been through! I wanted to hear you say that so much, to say you loved me! Because you fell in love with me for who I was, you fell in love with me despite my black heart! Ruka, I love you more than ever!" Hotaru yelled, looking up and Ruka gasped when he saw the tears rimming her long lashes, and she threw herself at him as she sobbed and hugged him, crying into his chest as she clenched her fists and cried as he stared at her, his eyes slowly widening. This was the girl he had really fallen for... The girl who had acted so coldly towards him, and he remembered.

Hotaru was his little Mermaid. He smiled and hugged her tightly as they sat there, fireworks exploding in the sky...

SUMIRESUMIRESUMIRESUMIRESUMIRESUMIRESUMIRESUMIRE

Sumire grinned as she sat on the beach, no one was watching her and she had the potion bottle in her hands as she grinned and lifted it to her mouth, her eyes shining as her legs appeared and she chuckled, then she drank down Mikan's voice as everyone slept, and she stood up.

"Hehehehe... Watch out Mikan, I'm going to get Natsume for myself, and you will be left in the cold, he won't love you, and with your little pearl in my beautiful hands... He will soon be convinced that I am the one he wants." Sumire said as she fixed her green dress (I hate green!) and stared at the pearl and she put a hand on her throat and smiled, starting to sing softly as she walked along the beach, her voice sounded like Mikan's!

"The seven seas united, the colors of the seaweed,
beautiful crystal rock in the sky!
The calm voice of the sea sings happily.
The maidens of the sea sing in harmony!
Come, stop, don't get mad.
Beat peace, make me glad.
Here, now, stay calm...
Don't hurt with rage!..."

Sumire grinned as she sang, and Natsume heard the beautiful voice from his room, and he gasped, staring out of his window as he saw Sumire, walking along the beach as she sang and stared up at him, smiling. Natsume ran downt he stairs and ran towards Sumire, he had found his mermaid, he had found her, he stared at Sumire as she smiled, and he looked at the pearl around her neck, the one that matched the pearl his mermaid had given him!

Sumire smiled as he stared at her, then pulled her into a hug as tears filled his eyes.

"You found me... You're finally here. I can't believe it... I found you again." Natsume whispered as Sumire grinned and hugged him back, smiling like a gremlin as she turned her head and looked up at a certain window, and she grinned as she stuck her tongue out at the young girl, who stared at her, then dropped the pale blue curtain as she turned around, tears forming in her eyes.

Mikan knew that Natsume had been taken from her once again, Sumire had won...
