A little Thank You to: Art Witch - Aka Mizu for reviewing my story :D

Disclaimers: I do not own Mermaid Melody; I'm just a fan…

And so we continue the story…

The night was cold… That was weird since today was really hot. Temperature lowered to twenty degrees. Lucia put her ribbons on her night table. She was still shivering.

"Are you sure you'll be alright? " Kaito asked her caringly. She nodded slowly.

"Yeah… Kaito, everything is fine… I'll be ok… Go home, get some sleep, ok? " Lucia said quietly. She acted like nothing happened. Kaito looked in her eyes carefully. He could see fear and suffering in them.

"No. I'll stay here. " Kaito pushed Lucia so he could lie down next to her. Lucia blushed.

"Kaito… " she whispered.

"Now I can protect you! But, move over or I'll fall. " he smiled to her. Lucia smiled back. Though, she felt unsecure. She didn't want Kaito to feel that pain. She knew how it's like, but she didn't want to know. That's not up to her to decide… She started shivering again and her eyes were tearful. Kaito hugged her.

"Lucia… I love you, nothing is going to hurt you, I promise… " he whispered in her ear. Lucia hugged him tightly. She thought she'll lose him for good.

"Hm… Just a two of us… in one bed… Are you thinking what I'm thinking? " Kaito had a devil smile on his face. Lucia looked at his eyes quickly. She slapped him.

"Pervert! "

"Ha, ha, ha! " Kaito laughed. He just wanted for Lucia to stop worrying. "So, are you going to tell me what happened to you? "

"I… I… " Lucia started crying once again. She was very weak "Kuragari… " her tear slowly glided down her face. Kaito seemed very worried.

"Darkness? What about it? " he asked and slowly wiped her tears off her face.

"Kaito… She's coming… And I don't want you to die… " she squeezed his hand tightly.

"Who's coming? That doesn't make sense. What the hell happened to you? Gaito's back or what? "

"No! " she shook her head "Even worse… " Lucia said barely breathing. Kaito kissed her slowly in her forehead.

"It's going to be ok… I won't die… No one is going to die… I'll protect you from everything. Now go to sleep… You need to rest. " Kaito laid down and closed his eyes. Lucia was still shivering. She was looking at the window. Stars weren't red or black anymore. Maybe nothing happened. Maybe Kaito's right. Kaito took her hand so she'll finally go to sleep.

"Lucia, c'mon, go to sleep… " he murmured. And she did… She closed her eyes and started sleeping.

"No… Stop… Leave him… alone… Please! " Lucia shouted in her sleep. She had the worst nightmare in her life, dreaming how darkness is killing her Kaito, how everything is gone, how she's all alone on this world… Then an image of a girl with dark black hair appeared. She was just like Lucia but with black hair and light brown eyes. The girl was crying, calling for help… Lucia wanted to help her, but she couldn't do anything. Darkness flooded her, took her soul and heart…

"Help me… " the girl said to Lucia. She was desperately crying for help.

"Who are you? " Lucia asked her. She wanted to help, but she couldn't move…

"I am Lucia… " the girl said quietly. Her tears were choking her.

"I'm Lucia too! " Lucia said. She even smiled to the girl, though the girl was in serious danger.

"Help me… " the girl repeated. Lucia tried to touch the girl. She did and the girl then got red devilish eyes. Lucia screamed.

"Whoa! Lucia! Lucia, wake up, you're dreaming! And stop punching me! " Kaito shouted. He shook Lucia. She woke up gaspingly.

"Kaito! " she shouted. She was again shivering.

"What the hell is wrong with you? " Kaito asked quietly. He hugged Lucia. Someone opened the door.

"Lucia, why are you screaming? I can't sleep! " Hanon yawned. But as soon as she got into Lucia's room, she saw Kaito in her bed. Hanon got red in her face " K…K…KAITO? WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HER BED? GET OUT! " she yelled.

"Wait, Hanon! " Lucia said " He's trying to help me… That's all… "

"To help you, you say? " Hanon took one big broom. Kaito looked at her scared.

"W… What are you going to do with that broom, Hanon? " he asked her slowly.

"I'm going to help Lucia! " Hanon started waving with the broom.

"Stop it, Hanon, please! " Lucia got up and took Hanon's broom "It's ok, I asked him to stay… I didn't feel good… "

"Yeah, that's the truth, lovely Hanon! " Kaito said innocently.

"Huh… I believe you… But move over! " Hanon pushed Kaito and pulled Lucia. They were all in Lucia's bed. Kaito punched his nose at the wall.

"It's getting crowded in here… " he sighed.

"There! So, I'm now between you guys so you won't do any stupid things… " Hanon said and covered herself.

"Stupid things? " Lucia smiled. Hanon looked at her.

"And Lucia… That's no way for a mermaid princess to behave! Shame on you! "

"Oh yeah? And what's with your fantasies with Nagisa? " Lucia frowned. Hanon blushed and smiled kinda stupid.

"Nagisa… Good night, everybody! " Hanon closed her eyes. Lucia and Kaito looked at themselves, smiled and went to sleep…

The next morning was raining. Not so typical for August… It looked like fall more like summer. Kaito sneak out so Nikora, Taki or Hippo couldn't see him. Lucia and Hanon had their breakfast.

"So what happened yesterday, Lucia? " Hanon asked while eating her cereals. Lucia looked at the window. There was no one outside. The rain wasn't stopping.

"Nothing, really… " Lucia lied "The Meteor Rain scared me… "

"You're lying, Lucia Nanami… I can see that in your eyes! " Hanon smiled. But Lucia looked at her scared.

"What? " she whispered.

"Chill out, Lucia. I'm just kidding. It's not like I can see through your soul with my eyes! " Hanon laughed. Lucia stood up and she started to cry.

"Hanon! I don't think that's funny! " she left dining room.

"Oh, come on, Lucia! You don't have to be such a baby… It was a joke! " Hanon sighed.

Lucia went to the beach. The ocean always calms her. She wiped her tears and sat on one rock.

"Nothing's going to happen… It must be my imagination… " Lucia tighten her fists. She looked around "No… Kaito's not surfing today… It's raining… " but she was wrong. Kaito was at the beach. He was holding his surfboard and talking to some girl with black hair. Lucia's heart stopped. She ran to Kaito. Kaito saw her and smiled to her.

"Hey, Lucia! Come meet our new neighbor! She looks just like you! " Lucia looked at the girl. She had brown eyes, she was the same height as Lucia and they did look alike. It's like this girl is Lucia's twin. The girl smiled:

"Hi, I'm Gari. You must be Lucia? Kaito told me all about you… "

"G… Gari, yeah… I'm… Lucia Nanami… " Lucia was shocked. She put her hand on her chest. She felt the same sharp pain like yesterday. It was that girl from Lucia's dream. Gari said in a really cute way:

"I should be going. My parents need my help to unpack our things! Bye, bye! " she left. Lucia was stunned.

"Isn't she nice, Lucia? " Kaito blushed "She really looks like you! Only, you know, you're prettier. – he smiled to Lucia.

"It… It's her, Kaito… The girl from my dream… She wants to kill me! You can't hang out with her! PLEASE! " Lucia shouted nervously. Kaito frowned and slaped bang Lucia. Lucia shivered and started to cry. Kaito looked at her. He felt bad for doing that to her.

"I'm sorry, Lucia… Please, forgive me… " he said to her and tried to kiss her… But she ran into the ocean. She was in her mermaid form and she started swimming just to be far away from him. Gari looked at them from a distance and smiled. Her face looked like the biggest evil on Earth…
