A/N: Hi! Please read and review!
Red Mermaid
Kahoko's POV
Its already sunset. I can feel it. If it weren't for my blindness, I could've enjoyed the view! I am now sitting at the seashore, trying to enjoy the cool breeze. I can feel coolness seeping through my feet. Water? I am becoming thirsty. I can feel scales near me. I am becoming a mermaid again. That ain't a problem. I'll just enjoy swimming.
As I dived to the water, I hear someone drowning. At least I thought so. I can feel that person's heartbeat through the water. Someone really is drowning. I swam towards the source of the beats. "Help! Hel-! -elp!" Then I grabbed the person's arms as I swam up the horizon. The person was probably a boy around my age, 10 years old, with azure hair and fair skin. Because I recently got dreams of a boy like him. As I imagined him, I feel myself blushing. "What, I mean, who are you…?" He said before fainting. I was only wearing a pink spaghetti strap dress with girly frills at the ends and I have a red tail. It was now ruined. I'll probably get a lecture after this.
I swam with the boy towards the seashore. He was not-so-heavy because of the water. And because I am a good swimmer. I stared at him after arriving at our destination. He was handsome, no doubt it. But he has this aura, sleeping or not, that makes him untouchable. He is, finally, stirring. He grunted and then he opened his eyes. It revealed a pair of cold golden eyes. He sat upright. My tail under the sea. "Who are you?" Then I just noticed that he can't see my tail. Good. "Hino Kahoko. You?" I asked. "Tsukimori Len. By the way, arigatou. You know. For saving me back there. " He said. "I better go now." I said, proceeding to dive but… "Why are you going there? Isn't your house this way?" He asked, probably pointing at the house near the seashore. "No. That's my aunt's." I said. "Oh. So you're staying with your aunts?"
"No. I actually live here with my family."
"Oh." Then he smirks in a teasing way. "Do you live across the sea?"
I nod. The smirk disappears from his face as a shocked expression made through his face. "EHHH? How did you come to my rescue?"
"I swam." I stated the obvious.
"But! But… how?"
"I am a-" But I was cut off.
"LEN! LEN! Are you alright?" A woman asked, worriedly as she kneeled in eye level with her son. "Mother, I am alright. Besides, you should be thanking her." He said, probably pointing to me. "Oh? Ara, this little girl saved you? Thank you, dear!" She said to the redhead. "You are?"
"Hino Kahoko, ma'am."
"I'm Hamai Misa. Just call me Misa-obaasan.
"I should go now." As I readied to dive underwater, Misa-obaasan asked me the same question that Tsukimori-kun asked me. I just said the answers I gave to Tsukimori-kun as I dived underwater.
Len's POV
As she dived underwater, we (Mother and I) noticed a tail just following her. Was it just my imagination or is it real?
Kahoko's POV
I decided to continue what I was saying to Tsukimori-kun. I floated up and they were still there. I swam towards them and said "I was going to tell you something before didn't I? Now I'll continue it." I took a deep breath. Then I said "I am a half-mermaid, half-human. You see, there's a legend running in the family. If the next child born blind gets even a drop of liquid, that child becomes a mermaid. There's a temporary cure though. I really need to go home now. Bye, Tsukimori-kun, Misa-obaasan. See you next time!" I said waving to them as I dived towards our house. I am sure. Very sure that I'll get a good sleep tonight.
