(The whole story black mermaid crush takes place before the defeat of Gaito)

As tears rolled down my eyes a whirl pool appeared in the ocean. Out of the pool came Gaito-sama.

"Well, what do we have a here, a human girl crying over her emotions?" he said coming closer to shore. I stopped for a moment and noticed the strange man coming closer to me.

"Who are you?!" I said jumping up wiping the remaining tears off my face.

"Well maybe I can use you to bring out the mermaid princesses" he said then attacked.

"Black pearl voice," I said then transformed. (My outfit is like Lucia's but black and the straps traps are around my arms. My boots are like Ichigo's boots (from Tokyo Mew Mew) just black with the top of the boots like Lucia's. My glows are like Karen's but black around the edges.)

"Another mermaid princess" Gaito-sama exclaimed.

"Now answer my question, who are you!" I said getting angry.

He finally got over his surprise and said "I am the great Gaito-sama, my main rule is to take over the seven seas by collecting the seven pearls but in my case eight but since the orange pearl is not here I'll have to take yours!" he said then lashed at me.

I pulled out my microphone then started to sing my song Taiyou no Raken also known as Promised Land (by Miyuki Kobe). Gaito wasn't affected at the song at all.

"Just a meer mur-mur, there's no feeling in it. Maybe because of the sorrow in your heart?" he said then smirked.

His words struck hard and true. Yet again I collapsed on the floor crying, thinking of Hero running away into the night.

He bent next to me and started rubbing my back saying "its okay, I can help you. All you have to do is come with me." At this time I was scared and confused so I agreed to go with him. He put his hand on my pearl and cast a spell on it.

"You will from now on obey me" he said transferring dark energy into m pearl. My outfit turned into an evil substitute. (Now I have a long pitch black dress with a gapping space in the middle with a skirt underneath. The top part was fleecy short sleeves with gloves with the finger tips cut off. My hair turned from two pigtails supported by white pearls to two pigtails with black pearls.)

Hypnotized with the dark energy I replied "Forever and ever Gaito-sama."

"Hey guys, D.J never came home last night!" Lucia yelled coming down the stairs.

"What do you mean she never came home, she was with Hero" Rina said getting out of a chair.

"Let's call Hero and see if he knows where she is" Hanon said taking her cell phone out of her purse.

It began to ring for about two minutes then "Hello" Hero said.

"Hey Hero-kun have you seen D.J after you talked to her" Hanon asked.

"Why?" he asked getting worried.

Lucia grabbed the phone and said "She never came home last night, do you know why?"

"I broke up with her, her and the mermaid too" he said coldly. "But it wasn't my fault."

"How can it not be…" Hanon said taking the phone back but then her pendant started glowing.

"Lucia-san, its D.J, she's turned evil by Gaito!" Hippo said coming out of the room.

"He has cursed her pearl with a spell. It must have been easy for him since she was so vulnerable" Takki-san said behind Hippo.

"Ahhhh, we're did you come from" Hippo said jumping.

"We don't have time for that right now Hippo, Takki-san how do we get D.J out of the spell and away from Gaito-sama?" Rina asked urgently.

"The only way for the curse to be broken is for the reason she was vulnerable in the first place is fixed." She said then left.

Hanon never hung up the phone so Hero heard every word of it and hung up. "I had a feeling she was the mermaid I was looking for. But now it's my fault that she's turned evil and destroying the city, I have to help her" he said.

He closed his eyes then reopened them with them looking piercing blue now. He started to glow then turned into the dragon that saved us before, and then flew out the window.

"Oh I love hearing the screams of humans" Yuri said laughing.

"Yes our new member is doing a great job using her singing to cause earthquakes" Gaito said putting his arm around my shoulder.

"Yes Gaito-sama" I said then went quiet. People were screaming and me, the one inside, behind the cries, the dark spell of Gaito, I actually liked it.

These people were the ones that abandoned me, made me cry, and him, he's one of them!

Suddenly the spell on my pearl let go of my mind now I have control.

"Gaito-sama?" I said looking at him.

"Yes" he replied putting his hand on my face.

"Make them cry even more, make them suffer!" I snickered laughing at the people's misfortune.

Me, Yuri, Eriru, and Izuru started laughing then attacked them even more.

Gaito smiled in approval knowing that I attacked from my own free will.

"That's it D.J attack those who left you alone in the dark, attack those who made you cry, and when the time comes destroy the one who broke your heart!"

He put his hand on my face once more then gently pulled my face closer to his. With our lips an inch away from each others I pulled back. There was something or someone that wouldn't let me kiss him.

"Stop right there!" a voice said from behind us. We all whirled around and saw the mermaid group behind us.

"Well isn't it the little powder puffs" Maria said smirking.

"Release D.J from your spell Gaito and no one will get hurt" Hanon said smiling at us.

"Well really there is no spell to release because D.J may still be under my control but she has her own mind back" he said snickering.

"Really, then D.J let's go already so we can go home" Lucia said happy as can be.

I gave an evil grin then said "You really don't get it do you. You really think I wanna go back into a society that doesn't notice I exist! I'm with Gaito-sama now, he understands me and he protects me too."

"But D.J we never made you cry, we never left you alone unless..." Hanon said then realized something.

"Yes Hanon, you now know how I feel. Hero, the one I searched for most of my life has left me. He doesn't want anything to do with me. I never felt so betrayed about anything, and you know what I don't want him back." I said walking back ad forth.

"Then why wouldn't you kiss Gaito" Rina asked apposing my response. "You had a chance to kiss him but you pulled away. Was it because you miss Hero, no because you love him" she said coldly.

I blushed for a moment then ducked behind Gaito. "Gaito-sama make them go away!" I said covering my ears.

"You know it's true. You wouldn't have been looking for him or even in this situation if you didn't love him so much to care about his opinion" Hanon added on.

"I said STOP IT!" I screeched and a huge sonic boom went towards them. It was one fatal blow and they went flying. Izuru, Eriru, Yuri, and Maria attacked while they were vulnerable.

Suddenly a blue light came before them and absorbed the fatal blows.

"Hippo! Okay girls let's rock their world" Lucia said. Hanon and Rina nodded then began to sing Koduo. I sang the same song and countered their voices.

"Nice job D.J you really serve me well" Gaito said holding my hand.

"Forever and ever Gaito-sama" I said rubbing my head on his shoulder.

Lucia, Hanon and Rina couldn't get up so they just laid on the floor.

I knelt down before them and whispered "It's not your fault it's Hero's fault."

Soon Lucia got up and slapped me in the face.

"What did you do that for?!" I asked covering the red mark on my face.

"D.J get a hold of yourself, look at all the people your hurting and for what just to get back at Hero!" she bellowed.

"You told me and Kaito to talk about our problems instead of getting mad at each other and others to first talk about your problems. Did you talk to Hero about this, I don't think so" she said calmly. I didn't know what to say and the more I tried to brake the spell the tighter bond it had and it hurt.

"Lucia," I said but then got a major headache from the spell trying to take control of me again.

"Come on D.J you can brake Gaito-sama's curse just fight it" Hanon encouraged.

"No D.J don't listen to them listen to me. Remember I tried to help you, you can get back at Hero just stay with me" Gaito gestured knowing that the spell was breaking. My head was spinning thinking to who I should go to.

"Don't listen to him D.J" Rina said

"Your better then that D.J, remember when I burnt my flipper cooking and you cleaned it up nice and neat?" Hippo said picking up the mermaids.

"Come with us D.J we can have more laughs picking on the humans just like old times" Yuri said with Izuru and Eriru agreeing.

I was about to get off the ground and go to Gaito but then "Come on D.J your duty as a mermaid princess is to protect man kind. How can we be together if you'd rather choose the side of evil" a voice said from behind everyone.

"Hero, you're the one who caused my pain and suffering in the first place" I said to him sadly.

"I know and I regret saying those things to you. Ever since last night I couldn't sleep because I kept picturing you crying. I just wanted to hold you in my arm but now I know not to let you go because you're the only one for me" he said walking closer to me.

Gaito couldn't accept the fact that his most powerful weapon was about to leave due to an innocent boy so he attacked. Hero had no time to turn into a dragon so he was going to get hit. I got up and jumped in front of it.

"D.J!" he bellowed but I was still standing.

"Come D.J I shall heal you" Gaito said coming closer to me. Hero now transformed into the water dragon of the seven seas to be my bodyguard from Gaito.

"No D.J don't listen to him come with us" Rina said.

"Yeah come with your friends where everything's better" Lucia said.

"No D.J come with us" Izuru said jumping up and down to get my attention.

Left and right my mind went. I couldn't decide who to go to. Will this spell ever be released will my pain ever go away?

To be continued…

Will the curse leave, will D.J and Hero be together. Help break the spell by sending positive reviews.
