Pinkshuchan: LALIHO! Pinkshuchan here. Before I start the chapter, I just want to say thank you for your support. I was nervous on how this fanstory would turn out, but now I'm happy with what I got so thank you. Here's the next chapter everyone. Hope you like it.

Chapter 9

Eiri's P.O.V

I woke up to a high pitched squeal right beside me; causing me to fall off the bed. There is only one who would do that. Shuichi. All I want is to sleep in before taking Shuichi into town. Is that too much to ask?

"Yuki? Are you ok?" Shuichi asked. I brought my face up so I could show him. Again, I just wanted to sleep. "I'm sorry!"

"Just..." I stopped before I said something I would've regretted. Too late! Shuichi started crying again. Oh boy. I love him, but sometimes he goes a little bit overboard on when to cry and when to be excited. There's only one way to stop his crying and that's holding him. He looks up at me.

"Shuichi, please stop crying." I told him "Can you let me sleep a while longer? After that we will go out to town." He nodded and left the room; giving me time to sleep.

I finally had gotten some sleep and was ready to take Shuichi out. You know, now that I think of it, it's like we're going out on a date. If that's the case, then this would be my first date. Wow! I then heard a flush sound. I guess Shuichi found the toilet. I went to check on him to make sure he didn't do anything stupid. I found him in the bathroom crying on the florr. What is with him and crying? Geez!

"Shuichi?"

He didn't stop. I went to him and wrapped my arms around him. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"I think I might've broken it!" he cried.

"Broken what?" He points at the toilet. "What did you do?"

From what he told me, all he did was flush the toilet. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Shuichi, it's ok! You didn't break it! It's supposed to do that."

He looks up at me. "Really?"

"Yes. It's called a toilet."

"A 'toylet'? What's that?"

"It's what humans use to get rid of any wastes inside of them."

"How does anyone fit in there?"

"You don't go inside of it, you stand in front of it."

I guess it didn't make any sense from how he was looking at me. "Here, let me show you." I said, reaching my hand for him. He took it and I led him to the toilet. It took 3 hours, and I finally got him to use the toilet properly without dumping something stupid into it, like a coin or a candy wrapper or my watch or a rubber duck; please don't ask where he got the rubber duck. We then got dressed. Woah, Shuichi looks hot in his clothes. Tatsuha really did a good job. And I'm glad Shuichi keeps his hair down. It looks better down than up! After getting ready and got our shoes on, we left for town.

When we got there, Shuichi looked at everything. To a normal person, all this wouldn't be interesting, but for a mermaid, I guess this is like being at another world. As we walked around, I've noticed lots of other guys staring at Shuichi. They really think Shuichi is actually a girl. Too bad guys, but Shuichi's mine! I'm not usually this possessive on anything, but I can't help myself when it comes to Shuichi. I mean, have you looked at him? It doesn't even matter to me that Shuichi's a guy. We went out to get some ramen for lunch. He didn't know how to eat it properly and ended up burning his mouth a lot. So then we went for ice cream. I got him strawberry and myself vanilla. The whole time we were eating ice cream, he kept asking why it was called ice cream when there wasn't any ice. He'll know everything about humans soon. I'm sure of it! After all that, we continued walking along. We ended up at Sakuma and Kumagoro's Karaoke Extravaganza. And Shuichi wanted to go inside. Great, just what I need. It's not that I hate the place, but I don't really like the owner. He's Tohma's friend and a huge nutcase. When I met him at Tohma and Mika's wedding, he was far more childish than me. And I was 10! But I don't want to disappoint Shuichi, so I told him it was ok. Wow, Shuichi really likes staring at everything. The place is really strange, but in its own strange way, it's also a pretty cool place. We could just look around then we can leave, and then we wouldn't have to see that nutcase Sakuma.

"Welcome, nanoda!"

Too late! He came up to us in a big pink bunny suit with blue overalls. In his overalls was his stupid pink stuffed bunny. Hopefully he won't recognize me.

"Hey, Eiri. Long time no see! Haven't seen you since Tohma's wedding. How are you, nanoda?"

Shit! I was hoping he wouldn't recognize me. Oh well. Nothing I can do about it now.

"I'm doing good. It's nice to see you too, Mr. Sakuma." I said, but I don't really mean any of it. He looks over at Shuichi.

"This is a very pretty girl you have with you, Eiri." He grabbed Shuichi's hand and starts shaking it. "It's a pleasure to meet you, nanoda. I'm Ryuichi Sakuma." He pulls out the pink bunny "And this is Kumagoro. We are the owners of Sakuma and Kumagoro's Karaoke Extravaganza, nanoda!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Sakuma." said Shuichi.

And so, Sakuma led me and Shuichi to a table. When Sakuma left, I knew Shuichi would be confused on this place so I told him. It must sound awesome to him. Well, if Shuichi likes this place, I'll have to get used to coming here a lot. After the last performance was done, Sakuma went onto the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you for coming tonight, nanoda! Now, the moment you've all been waiting for. Our original act. Give it up for him!" Everyone started clapping; even Shuichi. I bet he doesn't understand what they mean. Oh well. The lights started shining and there was the original act; their big number. The guy looked like a nerd but his singing is not that bad. I'm sure Shuichi must be enjoying himself. I look at him and... Where did he go? I then felt something pull me under the table. It was Shuichi! What was he doing?

"We need to get out of here, Yuki." he whispered, but loud enough for me to hear.

"Why? You were the one who wanted to come here in the first place."

"That was before... Come on!" He pulled me out and back into town. He didn't stop moving. I wonder what was wrong.

"What is it? One moment you were so excited to see it and the next you wanted to get out of there. What's wrong?"

We stopped. Shuichi looked into my eyes. "Yuki, I..."

"Eiri? Is that you?"

I recognize that voice. No, no! What was she doing here? Well duh, everyone wanders in town but still. Right there was Miss Ayaka Usami. Remember when the old man said I needed to get myself a bride? Well, if I didn't find one before my 23rd birthday, I would have to marry Ayaka. But I have found my bride, even though my bride is actually a guy. Ayaka looked at Shuichi. "Who's this?" she asked. I tried to speak before she cut me off. "No, the question is why are you two together?"

"Yuki was showing me the town." Shuichi said with enthusiasum.

"You mean to tell me that you were wandering around town with my fiancee?"

Shuichi's eyes widen. A tiny "fiancee?" came out of his mouth. Tears started to fall. Before I could say something, he ran off. Ugh, why did Ayaka have to do this? I looked at her.

"Why did you say that?"

"Because you are my fiancee."

"No, you're only my fiancee until either my 23rd birthday or until I find myself a bride I actually love."

"Are you trying to tell me that you love that girl you were with?"

"... Yes."

And with that, Ayaka ran off crying as well. But it didn't matter to me. Right now, the most important thing in my mind is finding Shuichi and apoligize to him. I started looking everywhere I could for him. Where would he be?

"Bro!"

Great, just what I need. My idiot of a brother came when I'm in a crisis of finding Shuichi. But maybe he can help. I told him everything that happened and he agreed to help. We started searching high and low for him. I almost felt like crying. I've already lost him once in my life, I didn't want that to happen again. I wouldn't stop searching. Suddenly, I heard a voice; a familiar voice.

"Let go of me! Let. Me. Go!"

It was Shuichi. And he was in trouble. Tatsuha and I went to where we heard the voice and found Shuichi. He was being dragged off by a guy dressed completely in black. He wore a black leather jacket and black jeans with black shoes. Was he a rapist? I didn't care. All I know is that he's hurting Shuichi, and I wasn't going to let that happen. I ran at him with anger. He turned around and raised his arm. It started glowing with electric volts. Who was he? I then felt like I was being electricuted and fell to the ground. I shouldn't be like this now. I have to save Shuichi! I have... to save...

Pinkshuchan: What's going to happen next? What's happened to Yuki? And who is that guy that tried to take Shuichi away? Find out next chapter. Read and review, everyone!
