Pinkshuchan: LALIHO! Hi everyone. Pinkshuchan here. I'm happy that lots of you like my story so far. But of course, not all stories can last forever. I'm not saying that this is the last chapter, but we are getting close to the end. And it's still a mystery on how Yuki and Shuichi's baby became born a mermaid when his father's a human and his mother's a mermaid. We'll find out soon enough. I don't own this song used. Onto the show.

Chapter 21

Eiri's P.O.V

Four weeks have past since our baby was born. It was quite a shock to find out my child was a mermaid, but who am I to complain? And I really like the name Shuichi picked out for him. Land; Riku. A name as strong as the earth we live on. It should give him strength as he grows older. Since he is a small mermaid, Shuichi and I agreed that he can't stay in the pool. It seemed too big and what if something happened to him down there? Instead, we found a container big enough to fit Riku, put some waterproof pillows into it, poured water into it and that became Riku's bed. It's not much, but what else do we have to give to him to be his bed? But so he gets some exercise, I bought a kitty pool for him. Shuichi always kept his eye on Riku. I can understand why. We don't know what will happen next. Taki could find his way here and hurt him. As for K, Tatsuha told me from checking up on it that K has no luck finding this house. Also, K had to take care of his 2 year old son so he couldn't check for us until his wife came back to take care of him. Tatsuha may be a pain in the ass but my little brother can be useful if you guys haven't figured that out already.

So I'm here writing my novels while Shuichi is taking care of Riku. But I think it's time for a break. As I was about to exit my study, I felt the ground shake. Oh boy. Riku's crying again. I wonder why. Does he need something or did Sakano say something to him again? I'll see for myself. When I enter the room, I see Shuichi yelling at Sakano.

"Sakano, look what you've done! You woke him up!"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I let my voice get too loud. But I couldn't help it."

Typical Sakano! Always the mood killer! But this shaking needs to stop somehow. Shuichi started to rock him gently to calm him down. It didn't work. Riku summoned a rock and kept hitting Sakano with it until he passed out. Then, Shuichi did something I haven't heard him done in a while; he started to sing.

Shuichi

On a September afternoon, in nineteen sixty one

A baby girl's first cry rang out, a new life had begun

Her mother rocked her in her arms and kissed that tiny brow

She said "Darling, I'm just as scared as you, but I promise you somehow."

I will take care of you, the very best that I can

With all of the love, here in my heart and all of the strength in my hands

Your every joy I'll share, for every tear I'll be there

My whole life through, I will take care of you

Shuichi's voice overcame Riku's crying and it stopped. Not only the crying but the shaking. But to have him fall back to sleep, Shuichi continued singing.

Shuichi

On a September afternoon, in nineteen eighty five

That little girl had grown into a beautiful young bride

And she turned to the man who held her hand in front of the waiting crowd

They smiled at each other as they spoke and this was their wedding vow, and they said

Shuichi (and Yuki silently)

I will take care of you, the very best that I can

With all of the love, here in my heart

Shuichi

and all of the strength in my hands

Shuichi (and Yuki silently)

Your every joy I'll share, for every tear I'll be there

My whole life through

Shuichi

I will take care of you

On a September afternoon in nineteen eighty nine

A girl waited by a hospital bed, never leaving her mother's side

She said "Mama, why don't you close your eyes? Try to get some rest

It's my turn to take care of you."

I learned from the best, I will take care of you.

Shuichi's voice was so powerful. It had me want to sing with him though I sing badly. I sang quietly in the background so I didn't ruin the song. It was too beautiful. As he sang, he gently rocked him in his arms.

Shuichi

With all of the love here in my heart and all of the strength in my hands

On a September afternoon in nineteen ninety one

A baby's girl's first cry ran out, a new life had begun

Shuichi placed the now sleeping Riku into his bed and kissed his forehead. I walked to Shuichi and wrapped my arms around him from behind. He gasped really high and then covered his mouth; hoping that Riku didn't wake up. He didn't.

"Yuki, what the hell?" Shuichi whispered "I had just gotten Riku to sleep again."

"Sorry." I whispered back "Just wanted to check up on you. By the way, that's a lovely song you just sang."

"My mother sang it to me when I was little and couldn't go to sleep. She said that it talks about life as a human."

"It does in a way."

"By the way, Yuki. Remember during the party you showed me your room? I want to show you a special place."

"When? Now? What about Riku? I don't want to take him out of the house in fear of someone seeing him and I don't trust Sakano to do a good job of taking care of him. We can't hire a babysitter unless we want people to find out about mermaids either."

Shuichi nodded in agreement. I wish we could go to this place he wants to show me but where would we find someone to take care of Riku?

"Hey, Bro! What's..."

"Shhhhhhhh!"

Stupid Tatsuha. Barging in loudly when we have a baby whose anger causes the earth to shake. But what perfect timing! I looked at Shuichi. Looks like we're both thinking the same thing.

"Tatsuha?" we both ask at the same time "Can you babysit for us?"

"Babysit? Oh that's right. Riku, right? Sure. I was actually going to ask if I could let him hang out with me; his Uncle Tatsuha."

"You do know that he's not allowed to leave the house, right?" I ask.

"Yeah, but you know what I mean."

Then it was settled. Shuichi and I got ready and left for this place he wanted to show me. He brought me to a giant rock on the Sea of Japan. I remember seeing that rock a few times, but why did he want to show me this? He dived into the water and gave the signal for me to follow. I dived in after him and followed him underwater to the rock. We came to a part of the rock covered by seaweed. Shuichi moved some of the seaweed away; reavealing a way into the rock. We went in and reached above water. Good thing too. All that swimming without breath gave the need to me very quickly. After catching my breath, I looked around. The sight was amazing. Tiny crystals were hanging on the ceiling and glowing like moonlight. There were many tiny pools with some surface above water. The only light was a tiny bit of sunlight from the top. Then it started glowing brighter. It was the water we were in, but what was causing it? The light came from Shuichi's hands under the water. He lifted the light up. It was as bright as the crystals. He tossed the light above me and water fell from it; making me more soaked then I was already. Shuichi started laughing. I grab him and start tickling him. He's really ticklish. When I realize he had enough I stopped. Bad mistake. He started sucking on my ear. Dammit. My ears are the most sensitive of my whole body. As he was sucking, he was leading me to one of the surfaces and we climbed up. Shuichi stops sucking on my ear and gives a satisfied smirk. I knew why he did that. I could feel my pants become tight. I've become hard.

"What? You're horny, Shu?" I asked him.

He just nodded. To tell you the truth, I feel the same way. It's been six weeks since we last did it so I could understand. I rolled us over so he was below me. I waited until he was dry because he was still a mermaid. When he was dry and back to human form, we started shedding our clothes off. I could see he was very hard. I could see some pre-cum dripping out of his dick. I grabbed his dick and started stroking it. He was moaning in pleasure. When he was focusing on the pleasure on his dick, I started kissing his neck. I bit down on his skin to leave a mark. It shows everyone that he's mine. He moaned harder at the hickey. Oh, how much he arouses me just by his voice. I wanted... No, I needed him now. Too bad I didn't bring any lube. Oh well. I'm sure saliva will be just fine. I bring my fingers in front of his face. He looked confused.

"Suck them!"

He nodded and started to suck. Shuichi's mouth feels so warm and good. That gives me an idea. After I feel like my fingers were wet enough, I pulled them out and motioned him to give me a blowjob. He nodded and did just that. While he's occupied with my dick, I stick one of my fingers into his hole. He moaned with my dick in his mouth. When he felt comfortable, I stuck another in, and then another. When he's prepared and I felt like my dick had been sucked enough, I picked him up and pushed my dick into his ass. As I went in and out in his hole, we held on to each other with so much love and strength. We wanted to show the angels how strong are love was. Eventually, we both came and fell on the ground. I slipped out of his ass and kissed Shuichi gently. How I love him so much. I would give up everything for Shuichi and Riku. They are my family; my true family.

"Yuki? I've been thinking." said Shuichi after we stopped kissing "This was something I've been thinking about for the past four weeks."

"It's about Riku, right?" I ask.

He nods. "As his mother, I need to think about what's best for him. And living in a house where he can't leave and move around just doesn't seem right." He started crying "I don't want him to think that this is what others are like, make that mistake and get caught as a mermaid. I want him to be free to move wherever he wants and feel like he's like others."

"I understand, Shuichi. You want him to live in the ocean, right?"

"But at the same time, I want him to grow up with both his parents by his side to hold him when he's sad and give him the love and guidance he needs. Yes, he can live there and I can live there, but ..."

His tears overcame him. I took his hand and kissed it. "Don't worry. We'll find a way. Let's go home. We'll think it over there."

He nods and we head out. He quickly dries off when we get to the beach and we are about to head back until...

"Long time no see, Shuichi."

We turn around to see two guys there. One of them had long auburn colored hair halfway on his back and grey eyes. He looked like he was Shuichi's age. The other one looked a few younger with long green hair and brown eyes. Shuichi stepped in front of me; anger shining in his eyes. "What are you two doing here?"

"What do you think? I've come to take you home." said the guy with the auburn colored hair "And I can't believe you are here with a disgusting human."

"He's not disgusting! Not all humans are what they seem, Hiro! Really, it seems that mermaids are the ones who are truely disgusting."

"Is that what you call your own kind?"

"Not all, just the ones that give a damn about everything that happens to everyone. Also, for someone who's suppossed to be the smart king of the Sea of Japan, you have stupid written all over your face, big brother."

"I'm not here to argue with you. I've come to take you home."

"I am home. Get it into your fucking skull."

"I don't want to use force on you, Shuichi, but if you don't come back home with us right this instant I'll have no choice."

Shuichi's hands started to glow a rainbow color just like the crystal he was in when he was giving birth to Riku. "I'd like to see you fucking try."

The guy with auburn colored hair which I believe Shuichi called Hiro also had glowing hands, but his glowed red. It was a battle between them. Shuichi ataacked using rainbow colored light beams and Hiro attacked with fireballs. They both managed to dodge each others attacks easily. But what could I do? This was obviously a battle between two brothers let alone two mermaids. Suddenly, there was a chilling wind blowing, and a blizzard was aimed at the attacks thrown by Shuichi and Hiro. Hiro's fireballs disappeared from the cold and Shuichi's light beams were turned to crystal.

"Knock it out, both of you." yelled the green haired kid "You're brothers and all you do is fight. It's driving me crazy."

"But Suguru..." Hiro tried to get out.

"No! Listen, you guys used to be the best of brothers. We always played with each other without giving a damn about anything else. And then after Father died and gave the throne to Hiro, you both acted like mortal enemies. What happened to the love you both had for each other?"

Shuichi growled. "It would still be there if Hiro didn't have to act like he's in control of everything, including my life. And then sending Taki to get me..."

"Wait, back up." said Hiro "What's this about me sending Taki to find you?"

We were all surprised "So, you didn't send Taki to get Shuichi?" I asked.

"No. But when I think about it, all I remember is Taki storming into the castle asking to bring Shuichi back on the condition that he would be back to the kingdom and marry him. I refused his offer and was about to call the guards when all of a sudden everything went blank."

"I remember it perfectly." said the green haired kid Suguru "After you were about to call the guards, Taki begged for you to let him get Shuichi. You then paused and..."

"Looked like he was in a trance?" I completed. Suguru nodded. Then that means...

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

It sounded like Shuichi! We looked up on top of a cliff to see Taki carrying Shuichi off on his shoulder.

"Suguru, let's go." said Hiro "We have to help Shuichi." Suguru nodded and they ran after them. Wait, why am I standing around for? I need to save Shuichi. But how? The last time I went off against Taki, he managed to knock me unconcious. Wait, I have an idea. But I'll need Sakano's help. I rush back home. As I do so, the clouds start turning grey; thunder and lightning following. That's impossible! If I remember at hearing the weather clearly, it was suppossed to be a sunny day. This has to be Taki's doing. I manage to make it back home.

"Sakano?" I call out "Sakano, you there?"

I find him, Tatsuha and Riku at the pool. "Mr. Yuki. Where's the princess?"

"Taki's got him. I need your help. Can I see that book with all the spells a mermaid can use?"

Sakano nodded and brought out the book. I looked in it and kept turning the pages until I found the spell I wanted.

"Here it is! Cast it Sakano!"

Sakano looked at the book and his eyes widened when he saw the spell I was referring to. "But Mr. Yuki, this is a forbidden spell."

"I don't care! Cast it!"

"Are you sure? You might not make it out alive."

"Yeah. I have a plan but I need that spell to do so!"

"Hey, Bro. Are you sure?" Tatsuha asked. He must've also looked at the spell. "Think about what you're giving up."

"I know what I'm doing. Besides, Shuichi is more important than anything else. This will solve everything."

And so, Sakano cast the spell.

Pinkshuchan: Wow. This is some chapter huh? I wonder what the spell is that Yuki told Sakano to cast. For a little bonus, I'll tell you the type of powers each mermaid has so far.

Shuichi- Light element, healing

Riku- Earth element, telepathy

Sakano- Wind element, master of all magic
