Chapter 3: Kaito meets fate -this is where it gets VERY interesting-

-SATURDAY MORNING-

The beach was extra crowded with people because of the beach volleyball game Lucia was participating in. Kaito and Gaito met each other on the beach where they saw Lucia warming up for the game. She was wearing a red game shirt which said, 'East Japan Beach Volleyball Team.' She was wearing a large pink sweatband which pulled her messy dirty blonde hair back which prevented it from getting in her face.

"She is really awesome at- NO, no she is just an friend but I can't talk to her- WHAT DO I DO?" Kaito panicked.

"KAITO!" Gaito yelled, "Stop panicking." Gaito's yelling caught Lucia attention and she walked over to Kaito.

Kaito saw this and whispered, "What do I do NOW?"

Gaito pushed Kaito towards Lucia. "Go!" Gaito said and smirked. It was obvious that Kaito was going to chicken out.

"Hi Kaito! I'm so glad you can make it." Lucia exclaimed happily.

"Hi Lucia I... um wanted to... wait um..."

"May all players please come to the main court," the loud speaker barked

Lucia waved good bye and ran to the main court. Gaito walked up next to Kaito and sighed of disapproval.

"Well you screwed up." Gaito added to make Kaito feel worse.

"Shut up," Kaito replied and ran to the perimeter of the court.

When the first set of the three set game was over Lucia's team had won because of Lucia's amazing spike. Lucia turned around from the team huddle and waved at Kaito. Lucia was the star of the team along with the captain because she played on the high school team that represented the whole East Japan area in 8th grade. Now that she is a freshman in high school, she is treated with more respect, more media chasing after her, and more boys chasing after her. She is a legend to all volleyball players everywhere. The whole crowd saw this little moment between the two of them. Kaito started to blush as red as a tomato so he tried to bury his red face under his crazy red hair.
The other team of West Japan was winning 15-13 when during the point Lucia accidentally hit the ball close to the ocean. The other team was now winning 16-13 and her angry teammates made her get the ball herself. She walked over to the ball in the moist sand when all of a sudden a huge 30 foot wave washed over Lucia.

"Lucia WATCH OUT!" Kaito yelled but it was too late. She did not surface.

The sky became dark and stormy. A whirlpool formed and the middle of the ocean. The crowd ran away scared and took cover at local beach houses. The only two who didn't run was Kaito and Gaito.

"I'm going in!" Kaito yelled over the loud sounds of the winds. Gaito tried to stop him from running into the towering waves but the wind pushed Gaito back.

Kaito swam underwater in his prince of Panthalassa outfit. He swam towards the huge whirlpool in the middle of the sea. There he saw a beautiful mermaid with bright blue eyes and blond hair tied in pigtails with pink sea shell scrunches. She wore pink, seashell earrings, a pink sea shell bra and a bright, pink tail. The most astounding thing that Kaito noticed was that she was wearing the pink pearl mermaid princess pendant around her neck! Kaito was so focused on the mermaid that he did not realize the two figures, what looked like a man and a woman, behind her.

"Do you know this mermaid princess?" the manlike figure asked.

"Mehshe, I think he is the Panthalassa prince, I mean look at his clothes," the woman said eyeing Kaito.

"Really Mimi?" the man 'Mehshe' questioned, "Lets get him."

Kaito, who was still surprised didn't notice that they were going to attack.

"HEAVY ICE BREATH!" Mehshe and Mimi barked as they shot a freezing wind at Kaito. Kaito quickly dodged the attack and took the offensive side of the battle.

"Let go of LUCIA!" Kaito yelled but was unsure why he yelled Lucia. The Panthalassa symbol appeared on his forehead and a bright light shown from it burning Mehshe and Mimi's cold skin.

"Mimi lets retreat for now!" Mehshe yelled in pain and they both disappeared.

Mehshe and Mimi disappeared and left the mermaid to sink in the cold sea. Kaito quickly swam over to the mermaid and picked her up, wedding style. He swam toward a boulder close to the shore but perfect to be hidden from humans. He sat on the rock with the mermaid on his lap which didn't seem awkward to him at first.

The mermaid was conscience again and she opened her eyes to see Kaito overlooking her. The only thing was that the mermaid didn't know who he was. Her facial expression quickly changed from calm to frightened.

"Wh... AHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed which freaked out Kaito. The mermaid quickly sat up and observed herself allowing Kaito to cower backwards, frightened from her reaction.

"YOU," she yelled pointing at Kaito. Kaito didn't know what to do next.

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!?" she demanded.

"Ummmm..." Kaito responded still unsure what to say. Then he freaked out.

"Your asking me? I have NO idea. You need to calm down. What is your name? Please don't ask me too many questions. I don't know who you are. Well... actually I do know, kind of. But please do not ask me too many questions I'm not good with girl drama!" Kaito stated, so quickly that the girl didn't understand half the things he had just said.

The girl just glared at him for a good minute, not taking his eyes off him. Kaito just glared back. The girl finally took her eyes off his and took something off of her wrist and showed it to him. It was his lost pendant from seven years ago.

-FLASH BACK 7 YEARS AGO-

Blown by a wind of seven colors

I was aiming for the faraway peak of the plateau

The melody I heard before the dawn was a nostalgic song

Those birds flying towards the eastern sky

well , they're taking a shortcut to a treasure island

The paradise of the Seven Seas

our lives will be reborn so I can communicate my love after the night of the storm

A melody of seven lands

Even if the day would come when no one else travels here

I will not forget about

When she finished the song she looked down to see a boy in a odd robe in the middle of the ocean.

"Was that your song?" Kaito asked the now frightened girl

"What are you doing down there?" she yelled back

"Um" Kaito muttered as he presented the Panthalassa symbol on his forehead.

The girl gasped and tried to study the symbol but something interrupted this moment. A large wave 3 times as big as the boat crashed into the boat which sent her flying into the cold ocean, head first. Without thinking, the mysterious boy plunged into the ocean after her. He was the prince of the sea so he didn't have to hold his breath like the normal humans. He grabbed her by the shoulders and searched for land. He found a hidden beach along a shore and rested her on the soft sand.

"Please please wake up!" he pleaded

Kaito looked down at his pendant. It was the Panthalassa symbol engraved on a metal chain. He took it off from around his neck and placed it on her chest. A bright warm light glowed and her eyes opened. This mysterious boy, Kaito smiled but knew that staying with her would leave to trouble so he left, leaving the poor girl alone on the sand, still confused about who this boy was and why did he save her.

-PRESENT DAY-

"My name is Lucia," she stated nervously, "and I believe this is yours."

Ddrock: So how did you guys like the juicy 3rd chapter? I worked really hard on it! I don't even know why I'm working on it now. I have 3 projects and 4 midterms I have to work on so wish me luck!

-NOTE- If I don't update soon it is probably because I lost my computer, Ipad, and phone to my evil electronic stealing mother of mine.
