Author's Notes: Yay! Here comes chapter 2! Anyways, I've decided not to put RinaxKaito shipping in this fic… But if you still want me to put some… please review… I need your reviews very badly… and also… I'll be updating this twice a month so maybe every 2 weeks… anyways, if you can think of very daring shippings? Please don't hesitate to review…

I'm so happy, I just wanted to tell you that…

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Umm… Kaito, thanks for helping me out…" Rina said, having a light blush

"No problem! But I still want that jacket…"

Rina chuckled… "You'll get it… don't worry, and just to remind you… you are included in my…" she added but she was cut off…

"Christmas list? Yeah… Thanks!" Kaito snickered and bid farewell…

Well, I guess he was a great help… I wonder what's gotten into him, helping me all of a sudden?

"Rina-chan!" Nikora yelled

"Uh-huh? Yeah?"

"You were dazing off? Something wrong?" Nikora asked

"Uh… It's nothing… I was just thinking…" The green mermaid replied

"About what?"

"No big deal…" she replied again, a vein almost popping…

"I don't believe you…"

Good thing she's older than me…

"It's about my paycheck…"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Nee, Nagisa-kun… Say ahh…" Hanon said, offering a spoon of salad to Nagisa, and he opened his mouth and munched on the salad…

"Nagisa-kun, what are you planning to give me this Christmas?" the Mizuiro mermaid asked…

"Umm… It's a secret!" Nagisa laughed while Hanon pouted

"Hmph! Well yours is a secret too…"

Nagisa laughed louder causing people in the restaurant to look…

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Rina walked along the quiet sidewalk, streetlights met her as she paced faster, avoiding the darkening surrounding. The sun was prepared for its short slumber, and the moon was on its way to wake up, the cold wind brushed against Rina's emerald locks and rubbed her pale face…

"It's getting cold, I better get home…" She whispered to no one in particular…

"Hey…" a voice called, making her head shot to where the voice came from…

"Huh? Who are you?" she asked as the silhouette came closer…

"I guess, you don't remember me… huh? Rina-chan?"

The dim light of the streetlamp lit the persons face, a pair of glasses covered his teal orbs, as emerald strands flew with the chilly wind…

"M-Masahiro-kun…" she managed to say, her heart thumping fast.

"You remember me now?" he asked…

"Yeah! I-I'm sorry, it's j-just that, it's been a long time since…"

"I missed you… you know?"

"R-really? I-I missed you… too…" she said, stifling a blush…

He smiled, "Thanks… Uhh… so how have you been?" he muttered…

"I-I'm fine, never better, how about you?"

"You could say that I'm a bit lonely…"

"Why…?"

"It's getting cold…"

"Y-yeah… we should go to my place… you know… I could make you some tea… if you want…"

"Sure…" He smiled…

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"I'm back!" Kaito shouted, trying to get Luchia's attention…

"Oh! Welcome back!" She shouted back, skipping towards her beloved Kaito… "What took you so long? Nee? Kaito-kun?" she asked…

"I saw Touin-san in the store, I think she needed help… so I helped her out…" He explained, gaining a hug from Luchia…

"I was worried, you know…?" she pouted

"You worry too much…" he said, wrapping his arms around her slim waist… "Do you think someone like can get into trouble?" he asked…

Luchia nodded, her lips making a curve…

"Well… you shouldn't worry…"

"I can't help it…"

"And why is that?"

"I'm just too much of a worrier, that's why…" she replied… placing a peck on his cheek…

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"How's your school nowadays…?" Masahiro asked, breaking the silence of the dim-lighted room…

"Uhh… I'm doing good…" she replied with a smile…

"Ohh… I'm doing well as well… I'm just busy with work… so I guess I won't be getting A's…" he replied, Rina laughed…

Deafening silence filled the room once again, as the two stared into each other's eyes, absorbing the warmth it brought them… they smiled at each other… never minding the shade of red creeping unto their faces…

"I should go… it's getting kind late…" He finally said…

"Oh… okay…" The green mermaid agreed, even though it kinda hurts her to bid farewell to the boy she loves… its better if he could have some rest himself… she stood up and showed the door…

"Umm… bye…" she said as she clutched the door knob…

Masahiro just smiled, turned on his back and walk away… not seeing the sadness that filled the girl's eyes…

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Nikora-nee-chan! I'm home!" Luchia's sing-song voice rang inside the baths…

"Welcome home…" the older mermaid replied… "So… what happened?" she added…

"What happened with what?"

"Don't try to be innocent… I know something happened…"

"Happened? What are you talking about?"

"You and Kaito…"

"Oh… that… well… I just helped him wax his board… that's all…"

"Are you sure that's all?"

She nodded furiously…

Nikora giggled…

"What's so funny about it…?"

"Nothing…"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Now I'm alone once again…

In my room, so cold and vast…

Outside, the snow fell gently…

I watched him go…

It broke my heart when he didn't look back…

But watching him smile…

Is better than not seeing him at all…

Now I sit on the corner of my room…

Tears fell from my eyes to my cheeks…

A cold winter's night taking too long to pass…

Lonely and sad…

Feelings I can't hide…

But his image lingers on my mind…

Keeps me breathing, keeps me…

Loving…

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
