DEEP SEA
Disclaimer: I don't own Kenshin! Probably never will either.
Kaoru Gal: I'm going away to camp meaning I won't update for a month! Just warning you, so don't send me hate mail if you get annoyed...;
Kaoru smirked smugly as she saw the red haired man jump over board. For a second there she thought he was going to be different then the other men.
What she didn't know was that he had fallen under her spell, just not under her control.
Kenshin jumped into the foaming sea, but he carefully avoided the rocks. The icy water hit him, but he shook off the shock quickly. His heart started pounding painfully as he reached the small rock she had been leaning on.
He saw a flash of gold fins as Kaoru swayed her tail.
His hands reached out to grab her, his hands firmly around her now.
Kaoru frowned slightly as she spotted that man nowhere. She tossed her black locks angrily and lashed her golden tail through the water in annoyance.
Suddenly she felt two firm arms wrap around her waist, pulling her into a wet embrace.
"How dare you! Let me go this instant!" Kaoru shrieked thrashing around blindly. The arms tightened around her causing Kaoru to flush in anger.
"I said, LET ME GO!" She yelled in fury causing the water to thrash about them wildly.
A great wave of green water sprang up around them, knocking the man holding her about. She heard him give a grunt of surprise and losen his hold on her.
In an instant she broke free of his loose grasp, smirking. However, the red haired man reached out for her, blinded by the sea, and grabbed her carefully made belt of shells hung about her hips.
Kaoru felt his hard tug on her shells and gave an enraged scream that pierced the night sky.
She thrashed her sharp edged fins at the mans face and dived into the sea, hardly noticing that she left the belt of shells in his hands. The water around them instantly calmed and Kenshin floated there bewildered and cold holding a belt in his frozen palms.
He turned to head back to the ship when a blinding white light erupted from the depths of the sea.
"Hey there! I'd watch out for that, I would!" A sailor yelled to him, racing to the railing and holding a hand out to help him out.
Kenshin grabbed his hand then turned his head in amazement at the bubbling water behind him.
The sailor pulled him on to the ship and yelled for someone to go fetch some towels. Kenshin ignored the orders and continued watching the water, waiting for something, anything.
To his disappointment the water calmed and the light faded. He gave it one last scan before turning back to his cabin.
But the sudden screams of surprise from the sailors caused him to turn around again. His eyes widened.
A young woman hovered above the water. Her whole body glowed an eerie white as water dripped down from her toes back to the sea. She looked like the mermaid, but was human. At least she looked it. Instead of that flashing gold fin, a pair of long creamy legs was.
Her closed eyes snapped open causing a few of the young sailors to jump in surprise. Now Kenshin was sure of it. This had to be the young mermaid he had held, for her eyes were the same sharp crystal blue.
As soon as her eyes were open she disappeared in a flash of light leaving the men breathless and shocked.
Kenshin grinned. He would find her if it was the last thing he would do.
Kaoru lay in the shallow waters of a small beach groaning with pain. What had happened? Some how she had turned human again, but how?
Kaoru shrugged the thought off and sat up picking the seaweed out of her hair.
She walked gracefully back into the water until it reached he waist, then she closed her brilliant eyes and concentrated, waiting for it to happen. But it didn't.
Her eyes snapped open angrily and glanced down at the legs she hated so. She breathed out and closed her eyes once more and clenched her teeth, willing herself to become a sea-maiden once more.
But nothing happened.
Kaoru's hands flew to her belt to fiddle with it, as that was her habit when she was nervous or worried. Her hand grasped air. Kaoru's head shot down to look for her belt.
Suddenly she remembered the man had been tugging on it. It must of come loose as she had pulled away!
'That filthy disgusting piece of scum.' Kaoru thought angrily. Without it she had no power to return to her mermaid form. As was the same with all other sea-folk.
She clenched her teeth and cursed softly.
She would have to find this man if it was the last thing she would ever do.
