Kaito & Lucia

Chapter 1

This is a Mermaid Melody version of Romeo and Juliet, I made this strictly for those who love romance, Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, and Romeo and Juliet. Enjoy.

Chorus: In the land of Japan, lived two families, both equal in their pride. There was the Nanami family, and the Domoto family, both were powerful and despised one another. They've been sworn enemies for a long time, and never got in each others way. We begin our story in the middle of town.

Two members of the Nanami's family were joking around in the streets. "If I could fight with someone from the Domoto family, I'd beat them in no seconds flat!" The first member said. "Yeah, I could take them on any day!" The other member said. Then a member from the Domoto family came into the street.

"Hey, are you talking about the Domoto family?" The member asked.

"Yeah, we were jsut talking about how we could beat those lousy no good Domoto's in just a matter of seconds." The first member said. "Well, you wanna test that theory, i happen to serve that family!" The member of the Domoto's said. "Then draw your sword, Domoto scum!" The second member said as he withdrew his sword. They began to fight in the middle of the street and a big commotion began to take form.

"Enough!" Someone shouted, and the fighting ceased. "I have had it with your ridiculous fighting with each other. If this or any other fuss shall ever disturb this town or the people again, you suffer the greatest consequence of having your heads removed." It was the king of Japan who said it. The fighting stopped and the commotion was cleared.

Domoto House: "Where is he? Where is Kaito? Have you seen him today, Keisuke?" Lady Domoto asked. "No madame, i haven't seen him, not since four hours ago. I saw him in the garden and he left for the surface." He answered. "Well, do you know where he could've gone, he should be here by now." Lord Domoto said.

"Uncle Domoto, do you know why he's been feeling down lately?" Keisuke asked. "I don't, nor can i find out." He answered.

"Could it be that he still hasn't gotten over Hanon?" Keisuke asked. "I believe that could be the reason, he was deeply in love with her, but she wasn't returning his feelings." Lord Domoto said. "Well, why don't you go and i'll see how to help him." Keisuke said. "Alright, see that you find a way to cheer him up." Lady Domoto said and they left the room.

Kaito entered the room soon after. "Good morning Cousin." Keisuke greeted him. "Is it still so early in the day?" Kaito asked. "Yeah, it's barely eleven o'clock." Keisuke said. "Time seems to go fast for those who have tormented souls. Has my father been here?" He asked.

"Yes, what has kept you out all this time?" Keisuke asked. "Something that i don't have." He answered. "You mean love?" He asked. "Yeah, i have only yet to realize that she didn't feel the same towards me." He said. "You should forget about Hanon, she wasn't the one, even though she was a divine beauty. She was just a disease that didn't want to get married, and the only way to cure a disease is with a new one." He said.

"So your saying i should find someone else to fall in love with?" Kaito asked. "Exactomundo!" Keisuke said. "I don't think there's a girl more beautiful thatn Hanon, and even if there were, i'm sure she was nothing compared to Hanon." He said in a low tone. "Well, there's only one way to find out." He said and they both left.

Nanami House: "I think this is ridiculous, but i will respect the king's wish for us to keep the peace, i understand his threat pretty well. I think two old men like Domoto and myself can keep our distance." Lord Nanami said. "I feel remorse for you both, but what do you think of my proposal to marry Lucia?" Johnny Kawamoto said.

"I said it before, and i'll say it again, she's too young to be a bride, she's not even fifteen. She's not even fit to be a wife yet." He argued.

"There are younger girls married that are happy." Johnny said. "You don't understand, Lucia is the only daughter i have and she is not ready for marriage. But tonight will be a party in my surface home, all the finest mermaid beauties will be there, including Lucia. Once you see them, your opinion of Lucia will change, but if it's her you want, then you can try to win her. But you can only marry you if she chooses to marry you, if she does, you have my blessing." Lord Nanami said.

A servant enters and hands him a pen and paper. "Now my loyal servant, find the people on this list and tell them to come tonight, where my home, and my welcome await them." Lord Namami said and him and Johnny left.

The servant went all around town on the surface. "Find all the people, then i gotta find the tailor to do his lawn, and a painter to fix the fish nets, and a fishermen to deliver the pencils! I wish i knew how to read this stupid list." The servant said. Kaito and Keisuke happen to walk by.

"Do you need help sir?" Kaito asked. "I have to find these people, tell me, can you read?" The servant asked. "Yes, very well, here let me see." He said and the servant handed him the list.

"Lady Coco of the South Pacific and her mother and father, Lady Caren of the Antarctic and her sister Noel, of the Arctic. Lady Rina of the North Atlantic, along with Lady Hanon of the South Atlantic. Sir Sedachi of the Black Sea and his twin sister Sedaiku." He read the rest of the list.

"A party? Where are they supposed to go?" Kaito asked.

"They are to go to my master Lord Nanami's house, all the mermaid ladies will be there, including his daughter. I'll tell you what, if your not a Domoto, come and enjoy yourself, as thanks for helping me." The servant said as he scurried of.

"Did you hear that, you can go, and Hanon will be there too. Not to mention all the beauties of the sea, who knows, maybe you'll find someone better than Hanon." Keisuke said. "Fine, i'll go, but only for one reason. To see Hanon." They both left the surface.

Nanami house: "Nikora, where is she, where's my daughter? Call her in here please." Lady Nanami said. "Yes milady, Lucia! Lucia, come here!" She called. "Who's calling me?" Lucia asked as she entered the room. "Your mother." Nikora said. "What do need mother?" Lucia asked.

"I want to talk to you, you are now fourteen and it's time you found a husband. What do you think of getting married?" Lady Nanami asked. "I don't really like the idea at this point in time." Lucia answered.

"Well, you should, the valiant Lord Lohnny Kawamoto seeks your hand in marriage." Lady Nanami said. "And he's a fine lord, he's handsome and more precious than any man alive." Nikora said. "Tonight is your father's party, at least meet him and see what you think." Lady Nanami said.

"I'll look, but i doubt that one meeting is going to make me fall in love with someone like him." Lucia said. The servant of the Nanami family enters. "My lady, your guests are starting to arrive and the preparations have been made." He said. "Wonderful, now we must go greet them. Come Lucia." Lady Nanami said and they left.

The Streets: "Kaito, i don't think you should go just to see Hanon, there will be other fine mermaids, including Nanami's daughter. I hear she's a real beauty." Keisuke said. "I really have no interest in your opinion at this point, i'm going to find Hanon and i'm going to see her." Kaito said.

Nanami Surface Home: "Is everyone enjoying the party? Wonderful, i hope you all have a great time, thank you all for coming!" Lord Nanami said to everyone as they came into the house. Everyone danced and had a wonderful time, it was a masquerade party so everyone wore masks, which hid Kaito and Keisuke's identities.

"And now ladies and gentlemen, may i present to you, my daughter and heir to the throne of the North Pacific, Lucia." Lord Nanami said and Lucia entered in a beautiful white gown, and her hair was tied up in the usual human hair style with white ribbons, not red.

"Now Lucia, this is Lord Johnny Kawamoto." He said as he introduced them to each other.

"Hello may i have this dance?" He asked as he kissed her hand. She nodded and he led the way to the dance floor and they began to dance in the waltz, and others joined. "Hey Kaito, do you see her, that's Nanami's daughter. Wow! She's a beauty!" Keisuke said. Kaito looked at the girl and she saw him.

It was love at first sight for them, even though she was turning in the dance, she kept looking at him, and Kaito couldn't take his eyes off her. The dance soon ended and Johnny led her away from everyone else. "Keisuke, you say she is Nanami's daughter?" Kaito asked. "Yeah, she's supposed to be princess of the North Pacific." Keisuke said.

A member of the Nanami family walked by and noticed the two, and immediately went for Lord Nanami. "Uncle, there's two Domotos here, are enemies. What should we do?" He whispered.

"No, we can't cause attention, just keep an eye on them and be sure they don't go near my daughter." He whispered back. "Yes, uncle." He said and left him.

Kaito walked through the crowd of the party, he was no longer looking for Hanon, but now Lucia. "Keisuke, where do you think she is?" Kaito asked. "I think i saw her go behind a pillar." He said and pointed to the back. Kaito went through the crowd to find her hiding behind a pillar. "What're you doing there?" He asked. She pulled him behind the pillar.

"Shh, don't make it look like i'm back here, i'm hiding from that terrible Johnny Kawamoto." She whispered. "I see, so why hide here?" He asked. "Would you rather i be in plain sight for him to try and sweep me off my feet and try to get me to be his bride?" She asked. "Not really, but that's a good point. I don't think he deserves someone as beautiful as you." He said.

Lucia started to blush. She didn't know what to say. "I suppose this is what you call 'love at first sight' isn't it?" She said. "I guess so." He said. "Lady Lucia!" They heard Nikora calling. "Oh man, i'll be back." She said and before she left she kissed his lips. "Who wants to see me?" Lucia asked Nikora. "Your mother." Nikora said.

Lucia went to see her mother. "Kaito, we can't stay, i think someone's found out we're Domotos, we gotta leave, now!" Keisuke said urgently. "Okay." Kaito said and they started to leave. Lucia went back to see him, but he wasn't there. "Where'd he go?" Lucia wondered.

"He's gone milady." Nikora said. "What was his name? I wonder." Lucia said. "His name is Kaito, and a Domoto. Your family's enemy." Nikora said. "Kaito, a Domoto? But how could that be?" Lucia asked.
