Chapter 2

"Okay, are you guys ready?" Kaito asked as he stood at the doorway of the Pearl Piari with Nagisa and Masahiro.

"We're coming." Lucia replied, carrying a suitcase in each hand. Following her was Hanon, Rina, Karen, Coco, Noel and Hippo in that order with two suitcases each.

"Where's Seira?" Nagisa asked.

"Coming!" Seira called. She stumbled down the stairs with five suitcases. Some of the suitcases opened after she tripped. Everyone anime sweat dropped as she tried picking them up again.

"Seira, we're only staying for two months, not two years." Nagisa joked.

"True. But I'm bringing things I might need." Seira replied, picking up something things. Hannon, Rina and Lucia also helped.

"How to Catch a Guy in Less Than Five Days?" Lucia asked. Seira plucked the book out of Lucia's hands and continued putting her stuff away.

"What? Can't a girl hope for a boyfriend?" Seira asked.

"Seira, why do you have a really tiny bikini?" Hanon asked, holding it up. Seira snatched it away and finished packing.

"Hey, how else is a girl to get a tan?"

"Seira,"

"Yes Rina?"

"Why is your pendant missing your pearl?" Seira froze and reached for neck to feel her pendant was not there. She turned around to see Rina holding her pendant, which was open to show her pearl wasn't there. Everyone was staring at the young mermaid, who sheepishly laughed.

"Um… yeah, about that… I kinda… gave it to this boy I saved five years ago… ha, ha…" Seira answered, hand behind her head. She waited for the resu-

"YOU WHAT?!?!" everyone yelled except for the boys and Lucia. Yep, that was the result she expected.

"Explain. Full story."

"Guys, doesn't our plan leave in fifteen minutes?" Seira asked.

"We have a ten-minute drive to the airport. How about you tell us on the plane?"

"Fine."

---

"Seira-san, you have some explaining to do." Hippo said after the plane took off. Along with staying in a five-star hotel, they also got a first class private plane to Domino City.

"Well… remember when I left five years ago to go home?"

"Yes?"

"Well, I went home and on my way back, I stopped by Domino City."

"And?"

"I was a mermaid at the time, and I was watching this ship out on the ocean until late at night. They started to set off fireworks off the ship and it looked really beautiful, so I started singing and…"

"Hey, this sort of sounds like how Kaito and I met. Then that boy came and asked you what you were doing, right? Did you…"

"I showed him my fin an-"

"NANI?!?! YOU EXPOSED YOURSELF AS A MERMAID?!?!" Hippo yelled. Hanon whacked him with her pillow as Seira continued her story.

"Well, instead of going off to tell someone, he asked me where I was from."

"Like what ocean?"

"No. Like if I was from the sea or the ocean. I told him I was from the Indian Ocean and then he asked if I was the only mermaid or if there were more in the Indian Ocean."

"What did you tell him?"

"I told him I was the last mermaid from the Indian Ocean, but that there were more in oth-"

"NANI?! YOU EXPOSED THE MARINE WORLD TO A HUMAN?!" Hippo yelled. He then looked around to see the boys, Lucia, Hannon and Rina glaring at him. He laughed sheepishly and said, "Uh… don't mind me… I'm just a penguin… he heh…"

"What's wrong with us knowing about the girls being mermaids?" Kaito asked, minor stress marks appearing on his head. Hippo waved his arms in front of him to show he didn't mean it, sweat marks appeared on his entire body for fear that Kaito would hurt him badly.

"N-nothing. Nothing at all. Ha, ha… don't mind me."

"Continue Seira."

"He then asks why I'm there and I answer that I can swim where I want. He then asks why I was the last one from the Indian Ocean so I told him my home was destroyed then he asked what happened but before I could answer, we heard someone coming so I went under the water. I stayed there for a while before a storm started and everyone except the boy got off the ship before a big wave pulled it under and…"

"You saved him and brought him to shore after the storm ended?"

"Yeah. He wouldn't wake up so I put my pearl on his chest and that woke him up."

"YOU GAVE THE ORANGE PEARL TO A COMPLETE STRANGER?!?!"

"Hippo," Lucia warned, holding the pillow up and Hippo immediately shut up.

"I did and he thanked me for saving him. He tried to give it back but I told him to hold onto it for me as a sign that we'll see each other again." Before Hippo could protest again, Hanon hit him with a pillow. "He thanked me again and police cars came. I swam to some rocks and saw him get into one of the cars and leave so I went back the Pearl Piari. And, that's that."

"How could you be so careless and give your pearl to a human?!" Hippo asked. He was hit with a pillow again, this time by Kaito.

"Hey, if that was so, then Lucia and the others wouldn't have been able to stop Gaito or Mikeru."

"Did he say the same thing when you lost your pearl?" Karen asked.

"Yeah. And he was even worse when he found out we were in love." Lucia answered.

"And I had good reason. You could have been bubbles." Hippo protested.

"But still, since Domino City is big, we might not find Seira's pearl again. What if he got rid of it after he was rescued?" Coco asked.

"That's easy to fix. I still have the Pearl Tracker." Hippo said, waving the little machine.

"Well that solves one problem. What happens when we do find the pearl? Will he give it to us or…"

"If I'm in mermaid form, I'm sure he will give it back." Seira said.

"But how are you going to do that?"

"I'm still not sure, but I'll think of something."

Just then, there was an announcement that they were landing soon. Everyone went back to their seats and buckled. Seira thought about how she would get her pearl back, once she found it. She clutched her pendant and looked out the window. She saw the harbor and ships at dock, beaches with people in swimsuits and surfers.

There was one surfer who caught her eye. He actually managed to do a 360-tail spin and still have the balance, something most surfers can't do. He wore a black and blue wetsuit and his board had blue lightning on the front of a black board. The boy had wet black hair that stuck to his neck and blue/gray eyes.

Seira continued to watch him and thought he looked familiar. Lucia noticed Seira was staring out the window and thought that she must be thinking about something.

"Seira," Seira snapped out of her trance and looked at Lucia, who sat next to her when the plane took off. "You okay? You're spacing out."

"I'm good. I was just looking at this surfer. See?" Seira pointed out the window to find the surfer gone. "Never mind." Lucia nodded and then went back to chatting with Hannon. Seira sighed and looked out the window again.

"Wow, this place is so cool." Coco said as she looked around the airport.

"This place is so crowded, too." Hanon remarked, getting pushed by people coming and leaving.

"Cheer up Hanon, as soon we get to the hotel, then we'll check out the beach and then go shopping." Lucia confided.

"Hey, where's Hippo?" Karen asked.

"LUCIA-SAN!" Hippo yelled, running from girls. He skidded and hid for cover behind Lucia.

"Hey, is he yours?" one of the girls asked.

"Yeah. This is my pet… uh… dog. Yeah, he just looks like a penguin in a sailor suit because…" Lucia tried thinking of an excuse when Seira butt in.

"Hey, do you know where the Blues-Eyes White Dragon Hotel is?" she asked.

"You're not from around here, are you?"

"What told you that?"

"Well, considering that the hotel has a Blue-Eyes Dragon on the hotel, it's not hard to miss."

"Oh. Sorry, we're here for the summer that our friend, Kaito, won."

"Wait, Kaito as in Kaito Domouto?"

"Someone say my name?" Kaito asked, turning his head. The girls turned their attention to the surfer and crowded around him.

"You're a huge celebrity here."

"Can I have your autograph?"

"Do you have a girlfriend? Is she pretty?" That question got Lucia angry as she pushed through the girls and kissed Kaito. The other girls awed in either admire or disappointment, seeing Kaito with his girlfriend. When they stopped kissing, the girls crowded around both of them again, asking more questions.

"You are so lucky to have him."

"How'd you two meet? Was it love at first sight?"

"How long have you been dating?"

"Okay, one question at a time. We met twelve years ago after an accident. She saved me after a shipwreck and I didn't find her again till seven years after that incident. Yes, it was love at first sight and we've been dating for five years now." Kaito answered.

"That sort of sounds like what happened a few years ago here in Domino City." One girl commented. That got their attention.

"What?"

"Well, five years ago, this kid was on a cruise ship with his older brother. Then a shipwreck almost drowned him after everyone else managed to get on the lifeboats. They found him the next morning on the beach and he was holding this kind of pearl or some other jewel. It was in the papers for month, how he said a mysterious girl saved him."

"I think it was a topaz. I mean, what kind of pearl is orange?" Another girl remarked. That caught Seira's full attention.

"You said it was orange? What's his name?" she asked.

Before the girl could reply, someone on the loud speakers asked, "Will Domouto Kaito and his friends please come to the entrance of the airport? Domouto Kaito and friends, please come to the entrance. Thank you."

"Well, thanks for the help." Seira thanked. She was about to follow the others when one of the girls grabbed her hand. The girl had blonde hair and blue eyes and wore glasses. She had a serious face for a fourteen year old, something you would find from a college student.

"Just to let you know something, the boy who has that jewel is difficult to bargain with."

"Nani? I did-"

"I can tell by the look on your face. He won't give it to you or anyone. He's waiting for this girl."

"The girl who saved him."

"How would you know that?" the other girl asked.

"Seira," Karen called.

"Gotta go. Bye." Seira said, leaving.
