Pinkshuchan: LALIHO! This is Pinkshuchan again, bringing what you all have been waiting for; Shuichi's Point of View Chapter.
Shuichi:Yay! It's my thoughts as a mermaid!
Yuki: (Sigh) The world is doomed.
Shuichi: What's that supposed to mean?
Yuki: Come on, you serious? You have zero talent at anything that has to do with literature. When it was me telling the story, it was art.
Pinkshuchan: Boys! We need to tell the story! This isn't the time for this!
Shuichi: I can tell the story like it's art.
Yuki: No you can't. And by the way, you make an ugly mermaid.
Pinkshuchan: Guys! Come on!
Shuichi: Well, at least I wasn't thrown overboard in the last chapter!
Pinkshuchan: GUYS! IF YOU DON'T STOP YOUR LOVER'S QUARRELL RIGHT NOW, I WON'T GIVE YOU ANY TREATS! AND IF YOU CONTINUE AFTER THAT, I'LL MAKE SURE K AND REIJI BLOW YOUR HEADS OFF AND HAVE TOHMA AND MIKA KEEP NAGGING UNTIL YOU LOSE YOUR MINDS (if you haven't already)!
Shuichi + Yuki: (Silence)
Pinkshuchan: Thank you. If you guys don't remember, this is an AU story, I don't own Gravitation, warning this contains Yaoi and M-preg, blah blah blah. Onto the show.
Chapter 2
Shuichi's P.O.V
I always wondered what it's like to go to the shore. A mermaid can be curious, right? I've heard many things about it from my mother before she passed away. It is a beautiful place with a bright light during the day called 'the sun' and the creatures on land called 'humans' survive by something called 'air'. I've always wanted to go up there, but my father and my brothers would not let me. They tell me that the shore is dangerous to anything from the sea. I didn't care! I wanted to see for myself!
When it was night, I quietly swam out of the castle where I lived in and went to the shore. And in case you're wondering, yes it does mean my father is a king. Yet I don't want to live as a child of royalty from the Sea of Japan. I want to go see the shore and explore every sea and ocean out there, like the Coral Sea or that sea with the really long name... What was it called again? Meditaranean or something? Ah whatever. Either way, I want to leave this place. So I went up to the shore to see for myself what it's like.
It was beautiful! In the sky were colorful flowers that appeared then disappeared. It was incredible! I found myself a rock to sit on and watched those bright magical flowers. I felt like singing to the flowers. I don't know why, but I just felt like it. I was always told that I had a pretty voice, and that they believed that my voice would be far more beautiful. I don't get why they would believe that. I'm a 12 year old mermaid boy. Yes, a boy. I know I don't look like one but it's the truth. Because of my feminine appearance, I had to make myself look like an underwater princess instead of a prince. Even my tail was too feminine for a prince. As I sang on the rock, for some reason, I felt like I was being watched. I merely considered it as just paranoya until I heard...
"There you are, Eiri."
I looked at the direction of the voice and saw something floating on the water. I think my father told me it's called a 'boat'. I was curious of what a boat was like so I swam to it. I heard voices on the boat. I looked up and saw something up at the side of the boat. It looked like a mermaid balancing with two strange looking tails. Could it actually be a human? No, it couldn't be! Father told me that a human is a cruel and ugly creature, but not this one. He was beautiful! His hair was short and gold, his skin was as white as that white stuff that comes at the time called 'winter', his voice as he was talking had a nice ring to it, and looked so powerful. Could it be because those strange things covering him? I don't know for sure. I saw another come beside him. He was taller than that gorgeous creature, and I felt some evil aura around him. Maybe he's a human? Maybe they both are. Maybe the beautiful one was just like me; a creature who could not fit into his own kind. Maybe.
"Well, Eiri. I think it's time to give you my own present."
I watched the tall human start putting his lips on the angel human's neck. But it looked like he didn't want it. It sounded like he was screaming in pain. I was scared! What was that cruel thing doing to him? I didn't want to be so helpless, but could I do? They were up there on the boat, and I was down in the water. All I could do was cry and watch the beautiful angel getting hurt. Suddenly, there were more of those cruel humans. The angel broke out of the first demon human's grasp, grabbed something from one of the others, and created a loud bang. I covered my eyes! I was too scared to see what was going on. I was afraid the gorgeous human might've been... No! I didn't want to think that! But why? And why is my heart pounding through my chest? Why was I crying for a human I didn't know anything about? Why? I heard screams and yells on the boat; making me what to see what was going on, but I couldn't.
Suddenly, I felt a splash! I removed my hands from my eyes to see the beautiful angel human sinking! Without a second thought, I dived in after him. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him back to the shore. I kept swimming with him in my grasp until I found land covered with sand. I brought him there and laid him on his back. I took a good look at him. There were so many wounds on his body that looked black on his white skin. I was afraid if he was dead until I felt his stomach move up and down. My mother taught me that that's one of the sign that a human is alive. I felt like it must hurt for him to move around. So I did something a mermaid is best for; a healing kiss. I kissed every wound I found on his body; healing this beautiful angel. I saved healing his eyes for last. I wanted his eyes to be a surprise. After I kissed them both, I saw him try to open them. Slowly, they opened up; revealing beautiful gold. I was so happy! I don't know why, but I was. He opened his mouth to try to speak when instead of sound came out blood. My joy for him faded and I ended up crying. How can anyone want to hurt this beautiful thing of a human? I leaned into him and kissed his mouth. I moved my tongue around inside; finding any wound from inside. But something I didn't expect happened. He started kissing me back. I was a little shocked at first but for some reason, it felt so good. I went back to kissing him until we no longer had the breath to do so. I looked into his golden eyes. They were nothing I've ever seen before. I felt his hand start rubbing my tail. Oh my god! My heart feels like it'll burt. I wanted to say something to him. Anything! But before I could, I heard voices.
"Eiri!"
"Eiri!"
It sounded like they were coming in our direction. I didn't want to leave him, but having myself seen by one human has already gotten me in trouble. I let go of the angel human and faced the ocean; ready to leave.
"Wait!" I heard him call for me, but I couldn't go back to him. I'm afraid of what the humans would do to me. I'm ashamed of myself; being a coward and leaving, but I had no choice. After that, I ended up grounded. I wasn't allowed to leave my underwater bedroom.
Six years had passed since then. I was taller, but I didn't look any different. My voice was deeper, but it was still high enough to sound like a girl. My father had passed away, and the throne was given to my older brother, Hiroshi, or as I like to call him, Hiro. My younger brother, Suguru, was his right hand man. And I am supossed to be the kingdom's 'princess'. I can't keep up that charade forever. When will they realize it? Hopefully soon! I was about to go off to explore outside the palace until...
"Where do you think you're going, your Highness?"
Shit! I was hoping I wouldn't be discovered. Especially by the kingdom's royal advisor and my 'protector', Sakano. I turned around and faced him.
"Oh, hello there Sakano!" I gave my cutest expression "Isn't this a lovely morning?"
"What do you 'lovely morning'? It's two o'clock in the afternoon!" Sakano said in his scolding voice "And anyways, King Hiroshi said and I quote 'Not to let the Princess out!'"
"He doesn't have control over me! He's only a couple of months older than me!" I started yelling "And Suguru is 3 years younger than the both of us. Why does it seem that I'm not exactly royalty here?"
"You are royalty, your Highness." Sakano tried to calm me down "However, everyone except for your brothers and myself believe that you are the great King Hiroshi's and Prince Suguru's precious sister. They don't know you are actually a boy. And therefore you can't leave the palace without an escort."
"What? Just because I don't really have a 'male' appearance?" I screamed so loud, Sakano ended up hiding behind a pillar "I'm tired of this! I wish someone would look at me as Shuichi, instead of some frilly mermaid princess!"
"Your Highness..."
"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
And with that, I swam off. I didn't want to live like this anymore! I wanted to leave the Sea of Japan. I wanted to no longer be part of the kingdom. I wanted to be with that beautiful angel human again. It has been six years, but I've never forgotten him. The smell of land in his skin, the softness of his hair, the warmth of the sun on his whole body, the feel of his hands touching my body. Oh, how I almost lost it when he rubbed his hands on my tail. But I'm scared. Is he still alive after all these years? Or are there some more humans like that time that got to him? If he is still alive, does he remember me? And if he does, would he love me even though I'm male? Wait... did I just say love? Is that how I feel about him? I think I do! My heart always pounds through my chest every time I think about him. As I was thinking about him, I wasn't watching where I was going and I bumped into someone. And it was someone I wish I didn't see right now.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the beautiful Princess Shuichi."
Right in front of me was Taki, the most dispicable mermaid in all the Sea of Japan. But he's forbidden in the currents of the kingdom! If I bumped into him, it means I must be far away from the kingdom.
"Leave me alone, Taki." I replied "I don't want to deal with you right now!" I tried to swim away but he blocked my path.
"Oh, that's not nice, Princess! You know you can't be able to resist me!" he said, making manly poses. Seeing him do that made me want to barf! While he was too busy trying to show off to me supposibly, I quietly swam away. And unfortunately, I didn't recognized where I was. I knew I was obviously away from the kingdom. Oh well! This is perfect! No bossy brothers! No annoying Sakano! No show off Taki! Perfect! But I couldn't get the feeling that something bad was going to happen. Well, that something bad happened before I could think any second thoughts. Millions of fish passed me; trying to swim away from something. But what? Then I saw it! A giant thing with black lines was heading towards us. From what I see, I think that's the thing my father told me was the most dangerous about humans. It was something called 'a net'. He said that any fish that get caught by it never come back. I didn't want to know what he meant, so I started swimming as fast as I could away from it. But it was moving faster! I saw it catch some fish as it came for us. Then, I saw the net block my way! I was trapped! I was caught! I felt the net rising higher; pulling me and fish trapped with me up with it. I was scared! What was it gonna do? It kept rising until we were no longer in the water. I tried finding a way out! Anything! Then I heard a voice!
"Well. What do we have here?"
His voice didn't sound Japanese. What's going on? Was I caught by a foreign human? I turned around and saw a human with long blond hair tied up and blue eyes that gave me chills. What kind of human is he? I don't wanna find out! I continued looking for my way out and back into the Sea of Japan. But it was too strong!
"In all my life, I never thought I'd find myself catch a mermaid." the strange scary foreign human said "I'm going to be rich!"
His laughter was scarier than he was. I didn't know what to do. Am I actually caught by one of the humans my father warned me about?
"I can't wait to show you off in my own little aquarium, girly." the human said, looking at me with his scary eyes "You'll be giving the cold hard cash I deserve!"
I gave up! I was warned about this and it happened. What was going to do? How do I get out? What was he going to do to me? What?
Pinkshuchan: Well, that's the second chapter!
Shuichi: See Yuki, I gave made sound great! But why did you have me kidnapped?
Pinkshuchan: Shuichi, you're going to have to wait and see.
Shuichi: Awww. Oh well! It was a good chapter!
Yuki: The only good thing about it was seeing you trapped in a net.
Shuichi: Yuki!
Pinkshuchan: Don't worry about it Shuichi! Besides, I think the only reason why he said that was because he has an idea on what's happening next. It is his chapter next after all.
Yuki: Maybe.
Pinkshuchan: Well anyways, please read and review. I would want your honest opinion, but don't bash. Go enjoy some delicious Strawberry Shortcake and I'll see you next time!
Yuki: STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE?! WHERE?!
Shuichi: Don't give any to him Shu! He'll lose his gorgeous figure and turn into a pig!
Pinkshuchan: Don't worry Shuichi! I know what I'm doing. (evil giggles)
Shuichi: I'm not so sure. Bye everyone!
