Chapter 9: Gaito's and Sara's Resurrection.
"Really?" Luchia asked, "Who could it be?"
There was a moment of silence. Nikora smiled and said:
"We are gonna bring Sara back."
"Sara?" Luchia asked.
Nikora nodded.
"Umm? Who is Sara?" Seira asked.
What Luchia said next will shock everyone.
"She is the deceased mermaid princess of the Indian Ocean whom you succeeded." Luchia said sadly.
Everyone was shocked except Nikora, Luchia, Kaito, Hanon and Rina, Hippo, Yuri and Taki since they already knew what happened to her. However, Seira was so shocked that she stood like a statue.
"Deceased Mermaid Princess?!" Yukito gasped.
"Wait! So that means..." Naoki said.
"Yes. Seira was born during our battle with Mikeru." Rina said.
"Wait so it's only six or seven months since she was born." Yuri said.
"Seira." Meru gasped, "That means you are way too young to be the mermaid princess."
"Meru!" Hanon said sternly.
"Sorry."
Masahiro then first noticed that something is wrong with Seira.
"Uh mom?" Masahiro asked gleefully
"Is there anything wrong, son?" Naoki asked.
"Something is wrong with her."
Masahiro pointed at Seira who was still standing like a statue. She then fell on the sofa with a thud.
"SEIRA!" Everyone shouted. They all started to panic. Luchia and Azumi ran to help her.
"Looks like Seira suffered a heart attack." Nikora gasped.
"Shall I call the ambulance?" Taki asked worridly.
"No need. We can take care of it."
"Seira? Are you okay? Oh God!" Luchia cried, "Azumi? Can you get a glass of water?"
"Sure." Azumi said and ran off to get it.
"I had a feeling that this might happen." Nagisa said, "The minute Luchia said that she was a deceased mermaid princess, she right away suffered from heart attack."
"I agree with you, son." Yukito said, "She must have been very upset."
"Oh dear. Poor her." Taoki said worriedly.
"Naoki dear, have you ever met Sara?" Shizuro asked.
"I had never met Sara." Naoki said, "In fact, I had never met any other mermaid princess except Yukito and Azumi."
"Could it be that Sara got killed during the battle against Gaito or Mikeru?" Masahiro asked.
"I have no idea on that either."
"Let's discuss about that later and help her." The butler said.
"I agree."
"Seira! Wake up!" Hanon cried.
"She has a heart attack. She can't get up." Rina said.
"Somebody help her!" Kaito shouted.
Meru first looked at the former mermaid princesses's family.
"Does anyone one of you have any medical experience?" Meru asked.
The former mermaid princesses and their family looked at each other in surprise. Meru then knew that none of them has that experience.
"Nope. I have karate, motor racing and business experience." Shizuro said.
"Judo experience." Naoki said.
"Boxing and motor racing experience." Masahiro said.
"Fishing experience." Taoki said.
"Fashion experience." Yukito said.
"Cycling and camping experience." Nagisa sighed.
Suddenly, they saw the butler is going right straight to Seira.
"Maybe he has some medical experience." Shizuro said.
"God. I hope Seira is alright." Naoki said.
"Please Seira wake up!" Yuri cried, "You are too young to die!"
"Seira-san!" Hippo cried.
"Stand back people! Let me check on her." The butler said in which everyone backed off.
The butler then walked slowly around her. After a few minutes, he checked Seira's heart to see if her heart is still beating. When he knew that her heart is still beating, the butler smiled. By that time, Azumi came back with 5 glasses of water.
"It's okay people." The butler smiled, "She didn't suffer heart attack."
"Really?" Nikora asked.
"Yep."
Everybody sighed in relief.
"It's just that she fainted after she heard your answer, princess." The butler said.
"Oh God! Why did I ever tell her about that?" Luchia cried.
"Luchia." Azumi comforted her.
The butler then was about to throw a glass of water to Seira when Hippo stopped him.
"Wait butler-san!" Hippo said, "She will turn into her mermaid form."
"Hippo-sama. Calm down." Yuri said, "She can just whipped herself with the towel."
"Oh!".
The butler then threw a glass of water on Seira. Seira then immediately got up and next thing she realised, she is in her mermaid form!
"Wait! What happened to me?" Seira was confused.
"Princess. You fainted." The butler said.
"Oh!"
Suddenly she remembered what Luchia said before she fainted. She requested a towel which Yuri gave. While whipping herself so that she can change into her human form, Nikora and Rina gave their thanks to the butler.
"Well Naoki." Nikora smiled, "Seems like your butler has quite grown to become a doctor."
"It sure is." Naoki smiled
"Well I have doctor experience, driving experience,..." The butler was about to explain.
"Okay Okay. Calm down." Shizuro said, "Thanks for your help."
"Your welcome, sir."
The focus now shifts on Seira. After changing back to human form, she ran and hugged Luchia. She was in tears.
"Noo! It can't be!" Seira cried, "The former mermaid princess from my kingdom is gone and I will never see her again."
"Seira. You will see her again. Please don't cry." Luchia said, "We are gonna bring her back to life."
"But how?"
"The spell that Naoki was mentioned." Azumi smiled, "The spell that brought me and Yuri alive."
Seira then realized the spell! Why in the world was she shocked when she already knew the spell Naoki told them?
"But still I have to get some answers." Seira said, "How did she die?"
"I think it's better that we should know as well." Yukito said.
"Yeah. Besides we never met her." Naoki said.
Luchia looked at Nikora who gave a nod.
"Okay. Here goes." Luchia said. She took a deep breathe.
"Could it be that Sara didn't know the law and committed suicide when her boyfriend dumped her, just like me?" Azumi asked in which everyone laughed.
"No Azumi. It's more than that." Luchia said.
"Yeah. Besides, the book was still not found at that time." Yukito said, "I even tried to find it but failed."
"Which means Sara also didn't know about that law." Naoki said.
"Yes. I'm telling the real events." Luchia said as she began the story.
"It all started when she fell in love with a man name Mitsuki Taro..."
"Now that you mentioned that name." Nagisa interrupted, "Hanon? Was that the music teacher whom you first loved?"
"He was my first crush. You are my first love." Hanon smiled at him.
"Taro." Taoki said, "An excellent music student becoming teacher."
Everyone was shocked.
"Taoki? How did you know him?" Hanon asked.
"Me and Yukito used to see him playing the piano during music class at school." Taoki said, "He played so well that I...I..."
"What happened?"
"Problem was that I couldn't bear to see him getting first place in music all the time. I mean someone should have taken his place but no one was match for him. I even challenged him..."
"Wow! You challenged him?"
"Wow Nagisa." Kaito said, "Your dad must had some real guts doing that."
"You know that Taro plays the piano very well." Rina said.
"But he should get credit for challenging Mitsuki." Luchia said.
"That's my dad." Nagisa smiled, "Challenging someone even the impossible."
"Thanks and as you might be guessing right now, I lost." Taoki sighed, "Even she tried to challenge him."
"Yukito. You challenged him as well?" Hanon asked happily, "Did you win?"
"I tried but I lost." Yukito sighed, "I am very good at singing but I literally suck at playing instruments except the Mermaid Flute."
"Oh!"
Everybody laughed.
"Yep and we tried to tell them it's impossible to challenge him at playing piano." Shizuro said.
"But they were so determined that they ignored us." Naoki smiled.
"Ah now I remember those." Masahiro said, "Nagisa told me all about this."
"Indeed. I remember too." The butler said.
"Me and my ex-boyfriend used to laugh at the way Yukito played the piano." Azumi laughed.
"Oh come on. Not that!" Yukito whined in which everyone laughed.
"Wow. I wish I was there." Seira said.
"But Yukito and Taoki, you didn't at least play that badly did you?" Meru asked.
"Ah. Yep." Taoki said.
"Oh dear."
Suddenly, Taki realized one thing and gasped.
"Wait a second? Could it be that..." Taki gasped.
Nikora immediately realised one thing and asked them:
"Azumi, Yukito, Naoki, Taoki and Shizuro. Which school did you go to when you were teens?" Nikora asked.
The five of them tried to remember but it seemed that none of them can remember it.
"Well. We can answer if you can say what uniforms you wear in your school." Naoki said.
"Well." Luchia said, "It is a pink sailor uniform with a large red bow, red collar and hand cuffs. Down our shirt, there are six pink buttons. Out skirt is a red pleated dress."
"As for the boy's uniform." Kaito said, "It's a white button down shirt and blue pants."
All five of them gasped.
"OMG! It can't be!" Yukito gasped.
"That's the school we used to go." Naoki said happily.
All others were shocked.
"Wait! So that means...?" Rina gasped. She couldn't believe it.
"The school that we now go is that school you used to go?" Hanon asked in shock.
"Yes that's the one!" Azumi said happily.
"Is that also the school where you guys met them and fell in love with them?" Kaito asked. He was in shock to.
"Yep." Taoki smiled, "Would you just believe what we just witness, Shizuro?"
"Yeah. What a miracle!" Shizuro said happily.
"Well Masahiro." Nagisa smiled, "Seems that our moms and girlfriends went to the same school."
"You can say that again." Masahiro said.
"All I can say is wow!" The butler said.
"OMG! THIS IS SO AWESOME!" Luchia, Hanon and Rina said happily and ran to know about Azumi, Yukito and Naoki's school life although they knew a part of it which was told by Naoki when she first met them.
"WOW NAGISA AND MASAHIRO! YOUR MOM AND DAD ARE AWESOME!" Kaito said happily as he also ran to know about Taoki and Shizuro's school life.
"Would you believe it, Yuri-san?" Hippo smiled, "Our former mermaid princesses went to that school in which the current mermaid now attends."
"I know. I am so happy for them." Yuri said happily.
"I'm happy for them too." Meru said happily, "What another miracle we had just witnessed!"
"Kyah! I want to go to that school too." Seira said happily.
"Don't worry. You will." Nikora smiled, "Taki? How did you know about that?"
"Well Hanon used to tell me all about him." Taki said, "Now when Yukito and Taoki said about challenging him to a piano duel when he was a student, I immediately thought that they might had went to the same school."
"Well they did."
While talking to Azumi, Yukito and Naoki about their school life, Luchia and Hanon both glared at Rina with evil smiles on their faces.
"Hey! Why are you staring at me like that?" Rina asked.
"Luchia." Hanon said evilly.
"I'm with you Hanon." Luchia also smiled evilly.
It was then Rina realized that they might ask something embarrassing to Naoki.
"Wait! You aren't gonna..." Rina tried to protest but they already asked her.
"Naoki?" Luchia asked, "Did you ever wear the girl's uniform?"
"Well I did at first..." Naoki said but was interrupted by Luchia and Hanon's cheers.
Rina was a bit surprised. She wondered what could ever happen to Naoki when she wore the girl's uniform.
"Ha Rina! Naoki had the guts to wear the girl's uniform!" Hanon said happily only to find out that...
"What I was about to say that I did wear the girl's uniform at first but it was a bit embarrassing so I wore the boy's uniform." Naoki smiled.
On hearing that, both Luchia and Hanon fell down in anime-style in which everybody laughed. Rina is laughing loudly. Looks like she has the last laugh now.
"Now what can you say about that, Luchia and Hanon?" Rina smiled evilly at them.
Hanon and Luchia then got up and looked at Naoki with a twisted shock and surprise on their faces.
"Naoki?! How could you?" Luchia whinned.
"Yeah and besides you are not a tomboy like Rina." Hanon whinned as well, "You could have at least be girly-girly if not so girly-girly like me and Yukito."
"I was comfortable with the boy's uniform." Naoki smiled.
"Azumi? Yukito? Didn't you protest when she changed her uniform?"
"Nope." Azumi said.
"No?!" Luchia whinned.
"Yep. We were a bit surprised at first when she changed to boy's uniform." Yukito said, "But when she told us the reason, we fully agree with her."
"Yeah and many people think that she was an idol." Azumi laughed.
"Yeah and I felt embrassed about that." Naoki sighed.
"I pity you. I was in a same position as well." Rina said as she slapped high fives with Naoki.
"Taoki? Shizuro?" Hanon meekly asked.
"I met her while she was wearing boy's uniform." Shizuro said, "She told me that she wore the girl's uniform before but she was embrassed so she changed it. I didn't mind her attire change."
"Me neither." Taoki said.
Luchia and Hanon are silent for a moment.
"Tough luck Luchia." Kaito sighed, "Looks like Rina had the last laugh."
"I feel sorry for those two princesses." The butler said.
"Mou. Not fair!" Luchia whinned
Everybody laughed.
"Wow! I'm so glad that you sent your son to the same school you used to go." Hanon said happily.
"Pretty cool, right?" Nagisa said.
"Yep."
"Oh crap! If only we could remember that." Naoki said.
"We send our son to a different school because we forgot what school did we go." Shizuro said sadly.
"It's okay dad. At least the school is near." Masahiro said, "Rina? When are you really leaving?"
"Well pretty soon." Rina said sadly.
"Nope. Not really." Nikora said.
Everyone turned to Nikora.
"We can extend our stay to spend some time with our former mermaid princess and their families." Nikora smiled.
Everybody cheered, mainly Luchia, Hanon and Rina.
"I think now that's really possible." Rina smiled.
"Um guys? Can we focus back on the subject please?" Seira said.
Everyone realized that they are forgetting the most important part.
"Oh sorry Seira." Luchia said, "It's just that we got all excited that we all go to the same school.'
"It's okay Luchia." Seira smiled, "Right in front of our eyes we have seen other miracle!"
"I know, right?"
"Maybe I can transfer him to that school you guys go." Shizuro smiled, "That would be perfect, right?"
"Well at least you don't have to wear a tie in that school." Naoki said.
"That would be excellent maam." The butler said.
"Thanks Mom! Thanks Dad!" Masahiro said happily, "Rina, we can finally be together at school, right?"
"I know and I love it!" Rina said happily as she hold Masahiro's hand.
"But Rina. Kazama will also come as well." Naoki said, "He is Masahiro's best friends and he loves to follow him around."
"That's okay. I met Kazama with Masahiro. He is really a bit of an exciting guy."
They all laughed before now turning their focus on that subject: Sara's tragic life.
"As I was saying, she fell in love with him. They had so much fun together." Luchia said.
"Does Mitsuki knows Sara's mermaid form?" Naoki asked.
"Yes Naoki. That's why they had such a great time together, vowing never to leave each other."
"But then one day, he left Sara without a word. This had broken Sara's heart. Feeling betrayed by him, Sara went on a rampage and totally destroyed the Indian Ocean palace."
The former mermaid princesses, their families, Meru and Seira were all shocked about what they were hearing right now.
"As soon as her hatred grows in the heart, her hair changed into black no longer in orange. She then joined Gaito and together, with the Dark Lovers, they rampaged all the mermaid kingdoms and almost did that to my kingdom. They also captured two mermaid princess in the process."
They all gulped.
"Seven Mermaid Princess. One turned to dark. Two captured. That left four of you remaining." Yukito said.
"Yes Yukito." Luchia said, "After sometime, we entered Gaito's castle and saved the two mermaid princess. We also saw Sara there. We tried to persuade her but Sara was still full of hatred."
"But what happened to Taro then?" Naoki asked.
"Taro was hyptonised at that time. Hanon tried to save him but Sara appeared and was punishing Hanon. However, Taro then revealed that he only left her because he knew that she had duties as a mermaid princess and he thought that he might be a burden to her. She was shocked that he really cared about her duties and blamed herself for causing all the destruction. Her black hair became orange back again..."
"She then joined us and we defeated Gaito although with some difficulty. We escaped but Sara spent more time with Gaito than with Taro so she joined Gaito's doom as well as the Dark Lovers including Yuri.
The former mermaid princesses, their family, Seira and Meru are very sad when Luchia finished her story about Sara's tragic life and death.
"All those happened just for a simple misunderstanding?" Azumi gasped.
Luchia nodded.
"Well. As our teacher said. Even small things can have a big impact." Nagisa sighed.
"I couldn't agree with you more." Meru said.
"My god. She had a very tragic life. Poor her." Seira said sadly and started to cry. Meru and Azumi comforted her.
"Things would have been a lot worse if Sara had something in the hands of her which is this." Luchia then pointed at Masahiro's Mermaid of Love locket.
Masahiro sighed for a moment. Yet again his locket had become the focus but how could it be relative to Sara?
"The evil Sara version you are talking about, right?" Shizuro asked.
Luchia nodded.
"It's true that it will change to Mermaid of Hatred if that evil Sara had that locket but..." Naoki was about to ask but Rina interrupted.
"Luchia? How can you think that his locket can have any reliance with Sara?" Rina asked.
"Yeah. To makes things simple." Hanon said, "Masahiro green. Water demons black."
"Guys. I also sense some powerful connection it could have if that evil Sara had it." Kaito said.
"Kaito? You too?" Nikora asked.
"Yep. So it's better to listen to Luchia." Kaito said.
"Wow Masahiro. Seems like your locket is sure popular than my flute." Nagisa smiled.
"That's because it changes sides depending on whoever has it. It can't resist its owner." Masahiro said.
"At least my flute is safe. Even though the water demons might have it, they won't be able to play it. Ha Ha!"
"Well that'a a relief." Hanon smiled.
Everyone then geared up to hear Luchia has to say.
"Well here comes another scary part." Hippo sighed.
"I really don't feel like hearing it." Yuri said.
"The name already scares me." Meru gulped.
"Oh no! It ain't good." Seira gulped.
Luchia took a deep breathe before asking Naoki.
"Naoki. You said to us that if it falls onto the water demon's hands, the Mermaid of Hatred locket's color will be black." Luchia said.
Naoki nodded.
"So this resembles Sara's black hair when she felt betrayed."
Everybody gasped.
"Luchia? What are you saying?" Shizuro asked in confusion.
"It's true." Luchia said, "And Naoki, you also said that the locket's appearance will change in which it will become a small mermaid statue carrying two small hearts broken into pieces, right?"
Naoki nodded.
"Which means it also resembles Sara's broken heart when she mistakenly believed that Taro betrayed her." Luchia said, "Which could mean only one thing."
What Luchia will ask will totally shock everyone, especially Naoki's family.
"Naoki? Could it be that if Sara had that locket, the more hatred she has in her heart, the more powerful locket will be?"
This totally shocked Hamasaki's family. They found it very hard to digest. Naoki wondered where and how Luchia might have got such an unrelated information.
"Princess Luchia." The butler said, "I don't understand how our young sir's locket could be related to it?"
"I don't understand either." Azumi said.
"It's simple." Luchia smiled, "If the evil Sara had that locket, we would have been totally defeated with ease by that locket. She had so much hatred in her heart which could make the Mermaid of Hatred locket very very powerful as it resembles darkness."
"That same goes to the Mermaid of Love locket. If Hamasaki-san and Rina's bond grows stronger, then the locket will also become very very powerful. The more love, the powerful the locket will become."
"We all know that his locket is slightly a bit more powerful than the Panthalassa symbol. The power level of the locket depends on how much love or hatred they have in their hearts."
They were all shocked at what Luchia is saying. Nikora looked at Taki, who is looking at the magic ball.
"Taki? What are you looking at?" Nikora asked.
"I'm trying to see if it is true what Luchia said." Taki said.
After a few minutes, Taki couldn't believe what she is seeing.
"MY GOD! It can't be." Taki gasped.
"Really Taki-san? Let us see." Hippo and Yuri said as they ran to see the magic ball. After seeing it, they looked at Luchia shocked in their faces.
"Luchia-san. I don't know how you wrere able to know about this but you are totally right!" Hippo said in shock.
"Thank god Sara was not wearing it." Yuri sighed in relief, "Otherwise she might have blinded me and the other Dark Lovers if we disobey her orders."
"What did you see?" Nikora asked in shock.
"I saw Sara laughing evilly with the Mermaid of Hatred locket continuously blinding the mermaid princess." Taki said.
Everyone then realized one thing: Luchia discovered the new locket's feature!
"Luchia. You are a genius! A wizard!" Shizuro said happily.
"Princess Luchia. You deserve to get the highest award for making such a discovery." The butler smiled.
"I never knew about that." Naoki said, "But Luchia. I should be really grateful to you."
"Thank you Naoki." Luchia smiled.
"Seems like there is an unknown locket power no one ever knew untill now, right Masahiro?" Rina smiled.
"I fully agree with you." Masahiro said.
"Luchia. I don't know how you really know about that but you have given me and Masahiro hope."
"Your welcome Rina." Luchia said.
"Wow! I wonder if Luchia can really discover something special from the flute that you guys don't even know." Hanon said.
"Not possible." Nagisa said.
"I think it's possible." Yukito smiled.
"I think so to." Taoki said.
"Well even though Luchia discovers it, it better not be on the bad side." Nagisa said.
"Luchia. I'm really proud of you." Kaito smiled.
"Thanks Kaito." Luchia said.
"Would you believe what we just witnessed again?" Azumi asked.
"This is really the best visit I had ever made in our lives!" Meru said hardly.
"We are discovering so many things!" Seira said happily, "If only Coco, Noel and Karen are here."
They all continue to talk about it when Yukito said:
"The whole craziness that took place just because of a simple misunderstanding, Taro should be equally be blamed for what had happened." Yukito said which shocked Hanon.
"Why you are blaming Taro-chan for this?" Hanon cried, "Surely he might have done a mistake."
"The mistake that really lit the fire off her and started this whole madness." Azumi said.
"Azumi?"
"Yukito is right." Naoki said, "He has done the biggest mistake in his life."
"What mistake?"
"The thing is..." Taoki said before he let out a loud roar:
"WHY THE HELL DID HE NOT TALK ABOUT THAT TO HER?!"
Everyone was a bit frightened at Taoki's roaring voice.
"Taoki?" Yukito was a bit surprised
"I mean seriously! Why did he not discuss his problems with her?" Taoki said angrily, "If he had done that, then Sara would have understood and the whole madness and destruction would have never ever taken place."
"I agree. Mitsuki did not discuss his problem with her. It wasn't about relationship problem. He really liked her." Shizuro said.
"And that started the whole thing." The butler said.
Slowly others are getting convinced as well. Some of them are already a bit angry about Mitsuki Taro.
"Hanon. You have to face it." Rina said, "Taro should also be equally responsible for what has happened. Had he discussed his problems with her, our kingdoms would had never been attacked."
"I sadly have to agree with them." Luchia said.
"Me three." Kaito said.
All others are agreeing to the fact that Taro was equally, if not fully, responsible for what had happened to them.
"Looks like your first crush has really done a horrible mistake, Hanon." Nagisa said.
"I know. I'm finally convinced as well." Hanon said.
"Taro-chan. Why you never told her about that you have to leave? If I had known this earlier, I could have discussed with you." Hanon thought sadly.
"But hey! The mistake had done us one good thing." Nagisa said.
Everyone was a bit shocked at what Nagisa had just said.
"What do you mean by that, son?" Yukito asked.
"It's easy mom." Nagisa said, "If this whole destruction hadn't taken place and if Taro did discuss his problems with Sara, then Hanon, Luchia and Rina would have never met each other and become best friends."
Everybody then realized the opposite effect if Taro had discussed his problems to Sara.
"Nagisa has got the point." Hanon said happily, "We won't have become best friends had that madness never took place."
"Yeah and we won't even know about the other mermaid princesses either." Luchia said.
"I won't even know you guys as well." Rina said.
"And Hanon would have never arrived in the human world and I would have never met her." Nagisa said.
"Oh Nagisa." Hanon smiled holding Nagisa's hands.
"Yeah and I could have never met Rina either." Masahiro said.
"I would have never met you either Masahiro and I would have never seen the green night sky with you either." Rina smiled holding Masahiro's hand.
"True if Gaito and others didn't start invading the sea, I would have never met Luchia and I did spent the rest of my life in here without ever knowing that I had a twin brother nor knowing that I am a Panthalassa prince nor never finding the mermaid who had saved me which was Luchia." Kaito said.
"Oh Kaito." Luchia smiled holding Kaito's hands.
"Also if Sara hadn't caused so much chaos in the sea then you guys would have never come here." Yukito said, "I might not have met Hanon and I won't be able to show you the unknown law which you had never known."
"I might had not even remember the spell that could bring someone back to alive." Naoki said.
"I might not have been brought back alive at all." Azumi said.
"I would have been born later." Seira said.
"I won't even meet you guys." Meru said.
"I would have remain a small fish for the rest of my life and I might never be able to meet Hippo-sama." Yuri said
"I might had not be able to see you too." Hippo said.
"Princess Rina might not even know about the young sir's locket." The butler said.
As everyone realized that these events could never have happen if Taro had discussed his problems with Sara, Taki smiled at them.
"The thing is even though what Sara did in the past was terrible, she indirectly brought us all together." Taki smiled, "Current and Former Mermaid Princesses meeting each other, two mermaid princesses falling in love with the former mermaid princesses's sons, Mermaid flute, Mermaid of Love locket, unknown law and everything that has happened to us in the past few weeks. These would have never happen if there wasn't any chaos in the sea, right?"
Everyone nodded with a smile on their face.
"My son would have never shown his flute to anyone and would have played alone for the rest of his life." Taoki said.
"My son would have hid the locket from others and would enjoy the green scenary all by himself." Shizuro said.
"So should we thank her for it?" The butler asked.
"Yes and that's why we will bring Sara back." Nikora said.
Everybody cheered.
"But Nikora you said two people." Luchia said, "Sara and who?"
"Gaito."
There was a mixed reaction about it.
"Oh boy. I can't wait to see my twin brother again." Kaito was excited.
"Don't worry Kaito. I'm sure you are." Luchia smiled.
"I can't wait to see my mummy and daddy." Seira said happily.
"Are they really your mommy and daddy?" Hanon asked.
Everybody laughed except two Former Mermaid Princesses, their families and Meru. They are shocked and not happy that the man who went on rampage and captured two mermaid princess will be brought back alive. Azumi was curious about meeting Gaito.
"I can't really wait to see Gaito-sama again." Yuri said.
"Me too." Hippo said.
"Uh guys?" Rina said, "Seems like not everyone is happy."
"What do you mean?" Nikora asked.
"Look at them."
They are a bit shocked on their faces before saying this:
"GA...GA...GAITO?!"
"Is there something wrong about that?" Taki asked.
"Are you crazy?!" Taoki said in shocked, "Why are you going to bring that guy who wanted to take over the sea and then take over the land?!"
"That's right!" Shizuro said, "Guys like him should not be brought back to life for his evil deeds."
"Yeah and what he did is unforgivable and intolerable!" Yukito said.
"Oh come on guys. Gaito might have changed for good." Azumi said.
"Azumi. You were long gone at the time." Naoki said, "And we saw the destruction of our kingdoms. Everything was in total ruins!"
"Which means that they have attacked our kingdoms ruthlessly!" Yukito cried.
"I'm sorry Hanon but I am siding with the former mermaid princess." Meru said, "Also what if Gaito pretends to act nice but the next day starts to attack Nagisa and take his flute away?"
"Or the young sir's Mermaid of Love locket?" The butler gulped.
"Then we will be in big trouble!"
"Even though Gaito is brought back alive, my locket will flash angrily and might not even spare him because of what he did." Masahiro said, "As for Sara, I don't know how the locket would react but there is a possibility that it might blind her as well."
"I would love to see Sara. Seira would love to as well." Nagisa said, "But never I want to see the silver haired freak's face again!"
"Nagisa? Masahiro? What are you saying?" Azumi asked in surprise.
"My son is right." Yukito said, "We would love to see Sara but not Gaito."
"My son is also right. Bringing both Gaito and Sara back together would mean that both of them would be blinded. So bringing only Sara would be okay." Naoki said.
"For the sake of the sea and land, please don't bring Gaito back." Taoki said.
"Yeah and besides, Kaito is already a Panthalassa Prince so he should be no problem." Shizuro said.
"Indeed sir. Indeed." The butler said.
Kaito, Luchia, Hanon, Rina and few others are a bit sad that there was an overwhelming negative response of bringing Gaito back.
"Wow. This will be tough." Taki said.
"So you guys are opposed of bringing Gaito back to life?" Nikora asked.
"Not only them! Me!" Meru said.
"Then let's have a vote." Hippo said, "Please raise your..."
However Kaito interupted.
"Nagisa, Masahiro, Taoki and Shizuro? How could you say such things?" Kaito asked in tears.
"What do you mean? He is anyhow relative to you?" Nagisa asked.
"YES HE IS. HE IS MY TWIN BROTHER!"
The six of them, including Meru, are in total shock!
"He is your twin brother?!" Taoki gasped.
"But that's impossible!" Meru said in shock.
"I think it's possible." The butler said, "Their pronunciation is very similar except one is a K and another is a G."
"But we are not criticizing you, Kaito, nor the whole Panthalassa clan." Shizuro said, "We are..."
"I KNOW THAT AND CRITICIZING MY TWIN BROTHER MEANS THAT CRITICIZING ME AS WELL!" Kaito said angrily.
Everyone was a bit shocked.
"Kaito. I understand that you want to bring your brother back but the thing is my locket..." Masahiro was about to finish but Luchia interrupted.
"Yuri had also done terrible things but was she affected by that locket's power when she was brought back alive?" Luchia asked.
Masahiro realized that during his visit, Yuri touched his locket but nothing happened to her so he only said, "No."
"I was afraid that this might have happen." Azumi sighed.
"Please guys. Just listen to our reasons. Kaito also misses his brother badly." Luchia pleaded.
The former mermaid princesses and their families looked at each other.
"I think we have been a bit too aggressive about not bringing Gaito back." Yukito said.
"Yeah. Sorry about that." Taoki said, "What do you think, son?"
"I think it would have been better if we had listen to Luchia's reason first before expressing our own opinions." Nagisa sighed.
"Dad, Mom. Do you think Gaito might have a change of heart?" Masahiro asked.
"I have no idea, son." Naoki said, "We will understand once Luchia tells the reason."
"I'm still don't get it about what benefit would it bring if Gaito was brought back alive." Shizuro said.
"It should be that something very tragic had happened to him." The butler said.
"Let's listen to her first." Meru said, "Go ahead."
But before Luchia can say something, Nikora had something to say first:
"Taoki and Shizuro." Nikora smiled, "As husbands of the former mermaid princesses, we really appreciate your concern for your wives's kingdom."
"Yeah and your opposition was justifiable because you feared that something bad might happen to their kingdom if Gaito was brought back." Taki said.
"Taoki. I really should thank you for that." Hanon said happily.
"Same to you, Shizuro." Rina smiled.
"Nikora." Taoki said, "Our wives are a former mermaid princess and like we said, our sons and wives are our first priority."
"We may not be able to swim but we help whether we can." Shizuro said.
"Me too, sir." The butler said.
"Indeed."
"Aww! Thank you and very thank you." Yukito said happily.
"Shizuro. You are really so lucky to have me." Naoki smiled.
"I wish me and my boyfriend are married right now." Azumi sighed, "Anyway Luchia what do you have to say?"
After a few minutes, Luchia said this:
"While we were battling with Gaito, I noticed something about him."
Eveyone gasped.
"Luchia. What did you notice about my brother?" Kaito asked.
"He was not that evil as he seems." Luchia said.
Everyone was shocked.
"Luchia? What are you saying?" Hanon gasped.
"Yeah. What do you mean by that?" Rina asked.
"I know what Gaito did to us was very wrong." Luchia said, "But I sense something good in his heart."
Everyone was a bit perplexed.
"All he ever wanted was to see Kaito in the land." Luchia cried.
Everyone was shocked. What in the world was Luchia saying?
"Luchia-san? What are you talking about?" Hippo gasped.
"It's true, Hippo." Luchia said, "Oh as for the former mermaid princess, I forgot to tell you one thing."
"When Kaito and Gaito were born as twins except for their hair color, Gaito was possessing the power of darkness as Gaito is part of the Panthalassa race and was one of the descendants who was given a curse fate. Because Aqua Regina lacked the power to break the curse, she had to separate them, causing Gaito to become very lonely."
"Gaito was extremely lonely at that time and was stuck in the castle for the rest of his life. He wanted to meet his twin brother but he never did."
"So if he wanted to, why couldn't he?" Meru asked.
"How can he? He might not know where Kaito lived." Seira said.
"That's true, Seira. Gaito never knew where he lives so he could never meet him." Luchia explained, "But as time flew by and with a little chance of seeing Kaito again, his hatred was building in his heart and he was extremely desperate."
"After sometime, he could not take it anymore and started to create chaos on the sea: destroying our kingdoms, capturing two mermaid princesses. At one time, he fell in love with Sara who was also lonely and together with the Dark Lovers, they tried to capture us one by one but they failed."
"So Gaito couldn't meet his brother at all?" Azumi asked.
"He did but at that time Gaito's hatred was all over his heart. So instead of a happy reunion, he took Kaito by force and had he succedded in combing his and Kaito's Panthalassa Power, we would have all been destroyed and this sea world would have been destroyed as well as the human world."
Everyone was a bit saddened that he couldn't meet Kaito for so long.
"Darn it!" Kaito clenched his fist, "If I had known all about this before, I could have met him sooner and I would have taken him to live with me."
"Oh and Hamasaki-san." Luchia said, "Your locket might be able to overpower one Panthalassa power but with two, it's impossible."
"I know that." Masahiro said, "If Gaito and Kaito's Panthalassa powers combined, then it would be literally be impossible to blind them."
"As they say, two is better than one." The butler said.
"You can say that again."
"But hey, if Gaito hadn't attacked your kingdoms, we could never have been where we are now." Nagisa said.
"Yeah. It's true." Hanon smiled, "But suppose Gaito was successful in combining his and Kaito's Panthalassa Power."
"Oh." Nagisa knew that they would have been destroyed as well.
"Yukito and Naoki." Luchia said, "When you visited your kingdoms after hearing the news of what happened to your kingdoms, how many people were killed in your respective kingdoms when Gaito and the Dark Lovers attacked your kingdom?"
Yukito and Naoki looked at each other. Hanon and Rina looked at them because they knew that they couldn't bear to witness the destruction of their kingdoms and they escaped instead.
"Yukito? Naoki?" Azumi asked.
"Well as far I know, none of them in our kingdom were killed." Yukito said.
Hanon and Meru were shocked.
"Wait! No one was killed! Everyone was safe?!" Hanon asked in shock.
"Everyone, including my friends, were safe and sound." Yukito said.
"That means my mother must have left me when she knew that the danger was coming. She couldn't find me and in panic, she left." Meru cried.
"Naoki?" Rina asked.
"None from our kingdom were killed as well." Naoki said.
"Really?"
"Yep. My friends were also safe."
Hanon and Rina were on the their knees.
"I can't believe it." Hanon cried, "And I thought all my people had perished during Gaito's attack." Hanon cried. Nagisa comforted her.
"If Naoki's friends were okay, then everyone was okay as well. Why I never checked my kingdom?" Rina also cried. Masahiro comforted her.
"Gaito-sama ordered us not to kill any mermaids." Yuri said.
Everyone looked at Yuri.
"Really Yuri-san?" Hippo asked.
"Yeah. I don't know why but Gaito-sama once told me if he did kill so many mermaids, then you guys might not even spare him even though you defeated him." Yuri smiled.
"Which means Gaito has some heart at least." Luchia smiled, "Normally a man like him won't hesitate to kill people."
Everybody agreed.
"Yukito, Naoki, Taoki, Shizuro, Butler, Nagisa-kun and Hamasaki-san? Can we please bring Gaito back?" Luchia pleaded, "Gaito just wanted to see his brother but he wasn't able to do so."
"Please Nagisa and Masahiro. Just for my brother's and my own sake." Kaito pleaded, "If only I knew this before."
The former mermaid princesses, their families and Meru were scratching their heads. They began to feel very pity for Gaito.
"What happened to Gaito after you defeated him?" Azumi asked.
"He, Sara and the Dark Lovers died in the castle together." Luchia said sadly.
Everybody was silent for a moment.
"After hearing what Luchia said, I have to say that I feel very bad for Gaito." Meru sadly said, "He never got the chance to meet Kaito in his earlier life."
"He had something good in his heart at least." Hippo said, "He didn't kill anyone."
"Gaito's loneliness reminds me of Mikeru's loneliness." Seira sadly said.
"So Yukito and Naoki. What do you guys think?" Azumi asked.
They all thought for a moment.
"Taoki? What do you think?" Yukito asked.
"I feel really bad for him and Kaito." Taoki said, "Gaito might have done those things in anger."
"I agree but he should have complained to Aqua Regina that he has being denied from seeing Kaito." Shizuro said, "And if Gaito didn't kill anyone then it really shows that Gaito is not really a monster then we all thought off."
"Shizuro. It seems that our son is upset. What's the matter?" Naoki asked worriedly.
"Nagisa? Are you okay?" Yukito is also worried.
"Hearing Luchia's reason is making me feel that I am leaving my best pal, Hotoshi, behind." Nagisa sadly said
"Nagisa." Hanon sadly said as she hugged Nagisa while Yukito patted Nagisa's head.
"Me and Kazama are best friends for life since elementary school." Masahiro said, "It would be a great pain for me and Kazama as well if we split apart."
"Masahiro. I am sure you and Kazama are wonderful together." Rina smiled as she hold Masahiro's hand. Naoki gave a pat on Masahiro's head.
Rina then remembers how she and Noel used to have a great time with each other before getting attacked by Gaito. Seeing Kazama and Masahiro being together reminded her of those things and she smiled. She thought that it would be great if four of them could be together. Besides, Kazama has the same indigo hair and eye color as Noel.
"Wow! It would be perfect if me, Masahiro, Noel and Kazama are together. Best of love and friends." Rina thought and smiled.
"What should we do sir?" The butler asked.
"I'm thinking about it." Shizuro said.
"Let me join too." Meru said.
After discussing for 7 minutes, they have made a decision.
"Okay. We are with you." Meru smiled.
"Really?" Taki asked.
"Yeah. We fully agree that Sara and Gaito will be brought back together." Taoki smiled.
Everybody cheered.
"But be warned. If Gaito attacks next time, don't say that we didn't warn you." Shizuro warned.
"Don't worry. I will keep that in my head." Nikora smiled.
"Yeah! That's the spirit." Azumi said happily.
"So it's been decided. We will bring Gaito and Sara back alive." Luchia said happily.
"You better hurry up guys." Shizuro said, "It's 9:15pm already."
"That's right, sir." The butler said, "Doing the trick after 10:00pm and it will not work."
"True."
"So what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Seira said happily.
They were all about to leave when suddenly Nagisa said:
"I would rather stay here than go meet them. Besides, I'm nervous to meet them."
"I would rather stay here as well." Masahiro said, "You may never know what my locket can do them."
Everyone thought for a moment.
"Well then if that's the case, then you are allowed to stay here." Hanon smiled.
"Well then take care of yourself." Rina said.
Everyone then left except Nagisa and Masahiro.
"Do you think Gaito and Sara might actually change for good?" Nagisa asked.
"Who knows?" Masahiro sighed, "Let's hope nothing happens to them."
At the beach:
"Okay Luchia and Seira are you ready?" Nikora asked.
"I'm ready but Seira needs some time." Luchia said.
Seira is trying to memorize the instruction Hippo wrote down. During that time Nikora announced this:
"Okay people. Once Gaito and Sara are brought back alive, we will all forgive them. They really had no intention to do all those terrible things they did."
"Let's hope Kaito and Gaito can have a really good union this time." Hanon said.
"I hope so too." Rina said.
"I should have stayed with Nagisa and Masahiro. I'm really frightened to meet them." Meru gulped.
"Hey don't worry. Everything will be all right." Azumi smiled.
"Yeah and Taoki once said to be cool and calm, right?" Yukito winked at Taoki.
"Yep." Taoki winked back.
"I wonder what our sons are doing right now." Shizuro said.
"They must be looking at the whole book right now." Naoki smiled.
"But the book is huge, maam." The butler said.
"Let them. They will be very shocked about how many laws are there in the book." Hippo said.
"Gaito-sama!" Yuri said cheerfully.
"Same old Yuri."
"Okay I am ready. Let's do this Luchia." Seira said.
Soon Luchia and Seira drew a big word in the sand which is 'GAITO AND SA...'
"Uh Luchia?" Seira gulped.
"Yes." Luchia said.
"Is it Sara or Sarah?"
"It's Sara."
Seira then drew in the sand 'SARA'.
"Okay Luchia. Here goes." Seira said.
They stood for a moment before beginning to sing:
"Nanairo no kaze ni fukarete tooi misaki wo mezashiteta
Yoake mae kikoeta merodi
Sore wa totemo natsukashii uta
Higashi no sora e to habataku toritachi
Saa, takarajima ni nukeru chikamichi
While they were singing there were two pearls giltering in the air above the sea. One of them is an orange pearl. Another one is an silver pearl.
Nanatsu no umi no rakuen
Arashi no yoru no ato ni wa ai wo tsutaerutame inochi ga mata umareru
Nanatsu no kuni no merodia
Daremo ga itsuka wa koko wo tabidatsu hi ga kitemo
Watashi wa wasurenai."
Soon the pearls flashed.
A man with spikey gray hair and pink eyes. He wears lightning earrings with a loosely attached black robe with black pants and pointy shoes. He has a dark red necklace. This is Gaito. Sleeping beside him is a woman with orange hair and orange eyes wearing a long floor-length beige dress with a brown sash and orange knot around her waist and she wore a dark brown choker and orange earrings. This is Sara, the former mermaid princess of the Indian Ocean. They soon woke up.
"Ugh? My head hurts. Where are we Sara?" Gaito said.
"I don't know Gaito." Sara said, "It seems that someone brought us back alive."
All of a sudden Seira and Kaito ran and hugged Sara and Gaito.
"Sara!" Seira happily said, "I can finally get to see you."
"Seira?" Sara was puzzled but when she saw her, "My God! It is you!"
"Brother. I missed you so badly." Kaito said.
"It's okay. I'm here." Gaito said, "Though I wonder how we came back alive."
When Gaito and Sara saw Luchia, Hanon and Rina, they were a bit frightened.
"Hey it's okay, Gaito and Sara." Rina said, "We forgive you for what you did."
"You guys didn't really do all of this in purpose." Hanon said, "You did it out of pure anger, didn't you?"
Gaito and Sara were a bit shocked.
"How did you know that?" Gaito asked in shock.
"While we were battling against you, I noticed something about you and your heart." Luchia said, "You never really meant to do all those things but you never had a chance to meet Kaito when you were young and as time flew by, you snapped and started to create chaos in the sea, right?"
A gloom spread across Gaito's face.
"Gaito. I'm really sorry." Kaito said, "If I had known about that sooner, I could have met you in the sea and we could have live together."
"It's true." Gaito sadly said, "I really wanted to see you Kaito but I never had knew where you live and there was hatred all around me and Sara. Even though I did meet you, I took you into my kingdom by force because I felt that I was betrayed."
"I'm sorry, Seira. I went crazy because I thought Taro had left me where, instead, he knew that I had duties as a mermaid princess." Sara cried, "I destroyed almost everyone in my kingdom and I am sure the others are now labeling me as a disgrace."
"Please don't say those things and don't blame yourself, Sara." Seira pleaded, "You really didn't understand him at that time, right?"
"If only he could discuss with me at that time."
"Gaito-sama! You are back." Yuri said happily as she dragged Hippo with her.
"Yuri? You are brought back to life as well?" Gaito asked.
"Yep and I can finally be with Hippo-sama."
"Oh! That's nice." Sara smiled.
"Well Hippo. You do better take care of her as she is yours now." Gaito said.
"I will Gaito." Hippo smiled.
"But how we are brought back alive?" Sara asked.
"These people helped us." Hippo pointed at the former mermaid princesses who are aproaching them.
"Hippo! It's not good to point at people like this." Luchia said.
"Sorry."
"Hello Sara and Gaito." Yukito smiled.
"How do you know about us?" Gaito asked.
"I think Luchia and others told them about us." Sara said.
"Oh I see. Anyway, first of all I want to say thank you for bringing us back alive and secondly, who are you?"
"We are the former mermaid princess." Naoki smiled.
Gaito and Sara are shocked.
"Former..." Gaito gulped.
"...Mermaid..." Sara gulped as well.
"Princess?!" both of them asked in shock.
"Yep." Azumi said.
"Name and which kingdom?" Sara said meekly.
"I am Azumi, former mermaid princess of the North Pacific Ocean." Azumi said.
"I am Yukito, former mermaid princess of the South Atlantic Ocean." Yukito smiled.
"And I am Naoki, former mermaid princess of the North Atlantic Ocean." Naoki said.
As soon as they got their answers, Gaito and Sara gasped and begged on their knees for forgiveness.
"We are sorry! We are really sorry! Please forgive us for what we did to your kingdoms." Sara cried.
"I know that you really hated us for what we did. I couldn't control myself." Gaito also cried, "But what happened was that..."
"We know about your loneliness." Azumi said.
"Yeah and we fell very bad for you that you never had met Kaito in your early life and you snapped." Yukito said.
"So we forgive you." Naoki said.
"Thank you and it's a very great pleasure to meet the former mermaid princesses." Gaito said.
"But if you guys are the former mermaid princesses, then that means..." Sara said before she gasped.
"That's right! I succeeded Azumi." Luchia said.
"I succeeded Yukito." Hanon said happily.
"I succeeded Naoki." Rina smiled.
"And I succeeded you." Seira said happily.
"Wow!" Sara said, "So current and former mermaid princesses meet together, right?"
"Yep." Gaito said.
They all laughed untill Gaito saw Meru, Taoki, Shizuro and the butler staring at them.
"Uh? Who are those people?" Gaito asked.
"Oh. The second left is my lovely husband, Taoki Shirai." Yukito smiled.
Gaito and Sara are even more shocked.
"Husband?!" Gaito gasped.
"Then what about the two green haired guys beside him?" Sara asked.
"Oh! Beside Taoki is my caring and kind husband, Shizuro Hamasaki." Naoki smiled, "And that's our friendly butler whose mom was one of the green mermaid when I ruled the kingdom."
"Husband?!" Gaito gasped again.
"Butler whose mom was one of your people?" Sara gasped.
Naoki nodded with a smile.
"But what about Azumi then?" Gaito asked.
"It's a long story brother." Kaito said, "We will tell you everything later."
"Okay so ignoring Azumi, those two in the middle are..."
"The husbands of the two former mermaid princess which are Yukito and Naoki?!" Sara gasped.
"Yep and they are such lovely and caring husbands." Luchia said.
"They really care about their wives's welfare and their kingdom so much." Hanon smiled.
"Yep and the reason they opposed bringing you back alive was because of what you did to our kingdoms where they once ruled before we succedded them." Rina said.
"Oh and the left one standing is one of my people, Meru." Hanon said.
Gaito and Sara gulped.
"So those two in the middle are Yukito's and Naoki's husbands." Gaito said.
"And the right one is the Naoki's butler whose mother was one of Naoki's people when she ruled the kingdom and the left one is one of Hanon's people, right?" Sara asked.
The current and the former mermaid princesses nodded.
"Do they know about your true form?" Gaito asked.
Yukito and Naoki nodded with a smile.
In a nervous state, Gaito and Sara went straight to them.
"I know what I did was very terrible and I know you hated me for this." Gaito said, "So in front of you, I really really apologize for what I did to your wives's respective kingdoms."
"We really appreciate your concerns for them." Sara said, "It all happened because of a huge misunderstanding and I started it."
"Hey chill down Gaito and Sara." Taoki said, "We all know what you did was wrong."
"But we also know the reasons about why you guys did it." Shizuro said, "And we feel very sorry for you guys."
"At least you didn't kill any mermaids." Meru smiled, "So I forgive you."
"So double chill." The butler smiled.
"You can say that again." Shizuro laughed as he slapped high fives with the butler.
Gaito and Sara sighed in relief after hearing that. Nikora approached them.
"Gaito and Sara." Nikora said, "Although what you did was terrible, At least one good thing happened as a result of your actions."
"Oh really? What was it then?" Sara asked.
Nikora then told them what happened during the past few weeks which interested them but what Taki said will totally shock them.
"And not to forget the fact that Hanon and Rina fell in love with the former mermaid princesses's sons." Taki smiled.
Gaito and Sara are SUPER SHOCKED!
"What did you just say?" Gaito gasped.
"Hanon, Rina?" Sara asked in shock, "You fell in love with the sons of the former mermaid princesses?"
"Yes and I was so happy." Hanon said happily, "And it was a miracle, right?"
"Yeah. It is." Yukito said.
"We are very glad they met us by chance." Rina said.
"And we are glad we met you by chance." Naoki smiled.
"Not to mention the fact that they are my buddies as well." Kaito smiled.
"And there was an unknown law in which Yukito showed us." Luchia said.
"There is an unknown law?!" Sara gasped.
"Yeah and when we saw the law, I was so happy." Seira said.
"Can we see it?"
"I left the book in Pearl Piari." Yukito sighed.
Then in an instead, Gaito got up.
"I would really like to see your sons." Gaito smiled, "Where are they now?"
"They are staying in the hotel." Taoki said.
"I bet they are looking at the whole book of Mermaid laws." Shizuro said.
"They are in nervous state to meet you." The butler said.
"So what are we waiting for? Let's go and meet them." Sara said.
And after a laughter, everybody went back to Pearl Piari.
Meanwhile at Pearl Piari:
Nagisa and Masahiro has just finished seeing the whole book about the mermaid laws.
"Whoa! 200 Mermaid laws! One on each page." Nagisa exclaimed, "Wonder how our moms were able to learn all of those?"
"Maybe they learned it when they were little." Masahiro said.
"I feel very sorry for Azumi that she knew 199 laws but not the one which led to her suicide."
"I feel sorry for her too but it was not entirely Hippo's fault. He didn't know about that Takashi's death when our moms were in their school age at that time. Besides, his mom and her guardian were brutally killed by Takashi right in front of Hippo's own eyes."
"Yeah. Mom told me about that."
Suddenly there was a door sound.
"Uh oh! Looks like Sara and Gaito are here." Nagisa gulped.
"Easy Nagisa Easy." Masahiro said, "My dad told me to breathe and stay cool and calm."
Nagisa breathed for a moment before repeating, "Stay cool and calm."
However, none of them are in a calm and cool approach when Luchia and others opened the door.
"Hello boys." Nikora smiled, "How are you doing?"
"So they are the former mermaid princesses's sons, right?" Sara smiled.
"Yep." Taki said.
"The little dark blue haired boy is Yukito's son and the green haired boy is Naoki's son." Gaito said, "I can simply tell it because of the color of their hair and eyes."
Yukito and Naoki nodded with a smile.
"Hello...Mr and Mrs..." Nagisa mumbled up as he is very nervous.
"How...are...you.."' Masahiro asked in a nervous way.
"Sorry. They are in a nervous state to meet you." Kaito said.
"It's okay brother." Gaito smiled, "It's our first time meeting them as well."
"Say is that the book where the unknown law is?" Sara asked
Everybody nodded.
"You don't know the unknown law as well?" Masahiro asked.
"No." Sara answered.
Nagisa then opened the book and went to page no 34.
"This is the law." Nagisa said and showed it to Sara and Gaito.
"Mermaids are free to express their true form to their loved ones if only his mom is a mermaid. In addition, he can become a prince if his mother is a former mermaid princess."
When they saw it, they gasped in amazement.
"As soon as I saw that law, I was so happy." Seira said happily, "Sara, I really hope to find someone who could be the son of an ordinary mermaid from my kingdom."
"I really do hope as well from my kingdom." Meru said.
"Don't worry Meru and Seira. I'm sure you will." Sara smiled.
"Can we see them one by one?" Gaito asked.
"Sure, brother." Kaito said.
Nagisa and Masahiro are both now in a nervous whack!
"Nagisa-kun, Hamasaki-san. It's okay." Luchia said, "Don't be nervous. They won't hurt you."
"I know they won't but my locket might. God knows what's my locket going to do with Gaito." Masahiro thought frightfully.
They all first went straight to Nagisa first. Taoki and Yukito patted his head to calm him down.
"Sara and Gaito. This is my son Nagisa Shirai." Taoki smiled.
"Say hi and don't be nervous. We are here for you." Yukito smiled as she rubbed Nagisa's hair.
"Well hello Gaito and Sara." Nagisa said.
"Hello Nagisa, descendant of Kandou Shirai, the man who saved our race." Sara smiled.
Nagisa was a bit shocked.
"And holder of the Mermaid Flute." Gaito said.
"How did you all of these?" Nagisa asked in shock.
"We told them about you." Hanon said, "I hope you don't mind."
"Oh I see."
Sara then patted on Nagisa's head.
"How are you going along with Hanon?" Sara asked.
"Bit off a rough start but yeah we are together now." Nagisa said.
They continued to chat untill Gaito spotted the Mermaid Flute Nagisa is holding.
"Is that the Mermaid Flute your parents and Hanon told us about?" Gaito asked.
Nagisa nodded.
"Can you show us? Your flute is beautiful." Sara said.
With a sigh, Nagisa showed them his Mermaid Flute. Gaito and Sara looked at the flute and was awe struck by the design of the flute.
"Wow! It's the flute but different from other flutes." Sara said.
"Yes Sara." Gaito smiled, "This flute matches the tune of the mermaid princesses's songs and the flute flashes when a new song is found and the small aqua mermaid statue glows when Nagisa is in danger."
"Oh about that. Nagisa, they told us what happened to you when you were young and we felt very sad when we heard it."
"Yeah but you are a brave kid. You were able to get over all of this although the flashbacks are currently haunting you."
"But now with that glowing power, you should be okay, right?"
"I hope so." Nagisa said.
Soon they all went to Masahiro.
"Sara and Gaito. This is our son Masahiro Hamasaki." Shizuro smiled.
"Son, it's okay. Just say hi to them." Naoki smiled as she rubbed Masahiro's head.
"Aye that's our good young sir." The butler smiled.
"Hello Sara and Gaito. Good to meet you." Masahiro said.
"So you must be the descendant of the man, Tajiro Hamasaki, who built the Awami Shrine. Good to meet you, Masahiro." Sara smiled.
Masahiro nodded.
"And holder of the Mermaid of Love locket." Gaito said.
"So Rina and others told you about it." Masahiro said.
"Yeah and I hope you don't mind." Rina said.
"Nah. I'm okay."
Sara then patted on Masahiro's head.
"How are you going along with Rina?" Sara asked.
"We had secrets that can't be revealed to each other but since Rina now knows about us, we get along well." Masahiro said.
They continue to chat untill Sara saw the Mermaid of Love locket around Masahiro's neck.
"Is that the Mermaid of Love locket your parents and Rina told us about?" Sara asked.
Masahiro nodded. However Gaito was a bit frightened and went backwards. Even Sara was in a nervous whack to touch it.
"It's okay Sara. Nothing will happen to you." Seira said, "The locket might forgive you."
So when Sara touched Masahiro's locket, nothing happened to her which brought her a huge relief. She then looked at the locket and was awe struck by the design of the locket.
"Wow! The locket is very beautiful. Such a beautiful locket I have never seen." Sara smiled, "Isn't it Gaito?"
"Gaito?"
Everyone looked at Gaito who is hiding behind Kaito. He is absolutely frightened about the locket's power which could blind him. This is the first time that Gaito was frightened.
"Gaito. What's the matter?" Kaito asked.
At an instant Gaito begged on Masahiro's knees.
"Please Masahiro! I'm sorry for attacking your mom's kingdom." Gaito cried, "Just please don't blind me!"
"I knew that this might happen." Masahiro thought.
"Gaito-sama. It's okay." Yuri said, "Even I was afraid when I saw that locket but when I touched it, nothing really happened to me."
"Yuri? Are you serious?" Gaito asked.
"She is serious Gaito." Hippo said, "Why not you touch it by yourself?"
"Okay. Here goes."
Gaito then slowly approached Masahiro and touched the locket with his finger. Much to his surprise, nothing happened to him. Everyone sighed in relief, especially the ones, who are Rina, Yuri, Sara and Masahiro himself, who thought that the locket might not spare him because of what he did in the past.
"Well Gaito. Looks like you got lucky this time." Masahiro said.
"Yeah. Otherwise, I might have been blinded." Gaito said, "Not only that, it creates a shield which can protect you and your friends, bringing everything green within your distance and..."
"Oh! You should be careful about the other water demons who might take your locket." Sara said, "Otherwise it might turn into the Mermaid of Hatred."
"I know about that. I will be careful." Masahiro said.
After sometime, Gaito yawned and said:
"Ahhhh! I'm so sleepy. Let's sleep Sara."
"Yeah. I feel a bit sleepy as well." Sara said.
"This way please." Nikora said as she led them to their rooms.
"Well we also better go now." Yukito said, "Take care guys."
"Yeah. See you later." Hanon smiled.
So Yukito and her family left, taking the book with them.
"I'll see if I can send my son to that school you guys are going." Naoki said, "But remember wherever he goes, Kazama also goes."
"I don't mind about that." Rina said, "Besides Kazama is Masahiro's best friend for life. Seeing him reminds me about my best friend."
"Oh that's nice. Anyway take care Rina."
"Bye."
Soon Naoki and her family left as well.
"Bye guys! I'm leaving." Meru said, "This is really the best visit I have ever made in my life."
"You take care of yourself." Taki said.
Meru left.
"Can I stay here? I want to know more about Gaito and Sara." Seia asked.
"Sure you can." Hippo said.
Seira and Yuri went to Yuri's room so that they can chat.
"Wow! That was quite a day." Azumi smiled, "A night visit to remember, right?"
"It sure is." Luchia said happily, "And I will never forget it."
Me: Yep. End of Chapter 9, the biggest chapter I have ever written in this story.
Voices: HOORAY!
*Luchia, Azumi, Hanon and Yukito danced in their cheerleader costumes while Rina, in her cheerleader's costume as well, looked at Naoki.*
