~•~Haru's POV~•~
I am so not looking forward to this. I mean I guess I get to see my mom again but I also have to see my dad too.

Ugh why do we even have to go to the Dolphinean kingdom? I mean, do Rin, Gou, Quentin, and Avery really need to know their way around there? It's not like they would ever really need to go there.

"So Haru, how big exactly is the Dolphinean Kingdom?" Quentin asks swallowing his bacon.

"A little bigger than the Merkingdom" I answer before taking a bite out of my Mackerel.

"So, are there like towns and stuff around it or...?" Gou asks trailing off.

"Well there's not so much towns but there are quite a few Cities."

"Cities? Like outside of the main city with the palace?" Quentin questions. I reply with a simple nod since I have mackerel in my mouth.

"Well surely there aren't too many Cities. I mean The Merkingdom only has like two outside the main one." Avery... spoke words. I'm not really sure if that was a statement or a question.

"Ya and the same with the Shark kingdom." Rin says.

"Mmmm no there is quite a few." I respond with a shake of the head.

"Well how much is 'Quite a few'?" Rin asks.

"10, 20 tops." I respond. "Ya, At least 10." At that everyone stares at me with their jaws dropped to the floor. Ironic that three of these people are Shark people.

It seems the King and Queen, aka Avery's parents, over heard because they are starring at me in amazement.

"At least 10?!?" King Connor exclaims.

"Yep and at most 20. But there's probably only like 15." I say still sounding indifferent. Do I even need to say that though? The indifferent thing I mean.

"Wha-but wai- How?!?" Queen Julia stutters.

"What do you mean? I really don't get why all of you are so flustered. It's not that big of a deal. The Sealik kingdom about has 5." I respond with a shrug.

"Rea- wait, how would you know that Haru?" Rin questions looking at me suspiciously.

"Uhhhh." Both Avery and Q face palm at my not really a response, response.

"Hey wait a minute, ya. How do you know that? Avery, Quentin do you guys know why he knows that?" Queen Julia questions turning toward her Daughter and Quentin.

They both deadpan.

"Ummm. The internet?" Q says, though he asks more than he states.

"The what?" The Merking asks in confusion.

"Hey wait a minute, how do you know what the internet is?!?" Rin asks, getting angry and crossing his arms.

"Ummm. Hey! Let's go to the Dolphinean Kingdom now!" Quentin says changing the subject and getting up. "Huh what do ya say Haru? Let's goooo." Quentin says shaking my shoulders. Rin frowns at this, most likely because Q changed the Subject. Or, maybe- naw no way. There is no way he could like me anymore than a friend. He probably doesn't even like me that much!

"*sigh* Ok let's all get ready and then we'll head out" I say getting up and going toward my room. I hope I didn't let any of my sadness show through my emotionless facade.

/\/Rin's POV\/\
Us shark people can't really talk to Avery and Haru right now since the Dolphinean kingdom is kinda far away. You see, Merpeople, Dolpineans, Sealik, Pengunians, and Orcanians can't actually breath underwater. Well I think some Merpeople can but not most.

Now I know what you're thinking, "Then Rin, How do they survive in a water filled Kingdom under the Sea?" Well they kinda don't.

You see, there's this kinda Dome of special water in said kingdoms, and well the whole territory really. It's called Oxywater. So anyone could breath Air in there, but they can swim too. Non-Air breathing creatures can live there too.

There's random natural domes of oxywater scattered throughout the sea, mostly between the kingdoms that need it. They tend to vary in size and shape.

"Hey wait a minute, Avery, why haven't you spoken?" Quentin asks.

"Because she's a Mermaid Q! Most Merpeople can't breathe underwater!" Gou answers with a duh tone.

"I know that! But Avery can!" Q answers. Haru then gives Avery a questioning look. Avery then proceeds to burst out laughing.

"It's about time you realized that Q-Dawg!" Avery shouts turning and swimming backwards.

"You mother fucker." Q says angrily.

"So your telling me we could have been talking to Avery this whole time?" Gou asks.

"Yep" Avery responds popping the P. Haru then turns and taps her shoulder."Huh? What uuuuuu-" Avery says turning around and looking ahead

"Wha-Woaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh" I say in aw looking at the massive city in front of us. "This isn't the Main city is it Haru?" I ask just as we swim into the Oxywater dome.

"Nope, the Main City is much much bigger. And it has a massive palace in the middle of it that has a ginormous court yard." Haru says with still absolutely no emotion.

"This city is almost bigger than the main city in the Shark kingdom." Gou say looking around with amazement. I then hear the clicking sound of a Dolphin and turn to look at Haru with a raised eyebrow.

"That wasn't me. It looks like my mother sent a carriage for us." Haru says a bit annoyed and gesturing to the Dolphins and Carriage coming towards us. Huh should have known they'd use dolphins since we Shark people use sharks.

We then hop in the Carriage and ride off to the Dolphinean Main city, which contains the palace. I apparently fall a sleep at some point.

/\/Still Rin's POV/\/
"Haru you know I could wake him up if you'd like." I hear my sister say. Wake who, Q?

"No it's fine I don't mind." I hear Haru's voice right next to my ear. What the?

"Hmmm" I groan and open my eyes a bit to look at my surroundings. Gou and Avery are right infront of me sitting across from me. I feel something laying against my side so I assume that's Q since Haru is awake. So where is-

"Kyaaaa" I screech frantically scooching away from him and off his shoulder as my face heats up. "Haru why didn't you wake me?" I ask a bit loudly.

"Because you looked tired." is his plain response. Is he a bit pinker than normal?

"Ooooh they liiiikkke eachother!" Aver chimes.

"When did Happy get here?" Q questions sitting up and yawning.

"I really do hate you Avery" Haru grumble glaring at her. Ok is it just me or is his face like the color of cherry blossoms?

"Do you two got something going on or something?" Gou asks tilting her head and Gesturing between Haru and Avery. I frown at that. They probably do, but why do I even care? Why do I feel so jealous?

"Eww no. Never in a million years would I date Sushi butt." Haru says scrunching up his face in disgust.

"You wouldn't be able to date me, I'm to sexy for you, Flipper." Avery counters giving him a rude Hand gesture.

"Uuuuuhh Haru, Is that the Main city, or an entire state?" Husky asks clearly in aw. I lean back and lean out the back window and my jaw drops.

"Holy crap" Avery murmurs Astonished.

"Welcome to the Main city of the Dolpinean Kingdom." Haru says full of indifference, or so it appears.

"Haru you lived in that!" I gasp pointing at the Massive palace and turning to look at him. Not only is it Massive but it's Gorgeous.

"Ya..... mostly at least" I don't think I was supposed to hear the last part but I did and it brought a frown to my face. I sit back down next to Haru and give him a worried look. The carriage then comes to a stop and we all get out.

"HARUKA MY BABY BOY!" We hear A feminine scream I then turn to see a half tail female Dolpinean swimming quickly towards us. I quickly get out of the way as she crushes Haru in a Hug.

"Hi mom. Umm Can't breathe" Haru strains out.

"Oh sorry my dear. Ooohh you Two must be the Princesses of the Merpeople and Shark People! Sooo what do you think of my Haruka huh?" She says wiggling around a bit. I hear Q snicker drawing her attention towards us.

"Mom please-" Haru begins before getting cut off by Avery.

"Yaaa umm NO. I'm sorry Queen-"

"Anica."

"Queen Anica, but I don't really think I would ever date Flipper boy, or any one who calls me Sushi butt." Avery say in a bitter sweet tone.

"Ya I'm not really interested in Haru either." Gou respond.

"Good. Now mother would you please stop doing this every time you meet a nice girl?" Haru asks annoyed.

"Well how else are you gonna find a girl? I mean your going no where fast if you continue to insult girls by calling them sushi butt!" Queen Anica exclaims. "Unless you've Finally realized your gay, or at the very least Bi. Oh BI the way, hehe, are you two the Princes of the Shark people, because I heard there was only one who was looking for a Bride to become king."

"Ya that's me. I'm Rin. Quentin isn't a prince, he's my cousin and the Head of the Royal guard." I answer.

"Oh ok. Well does it have to be a bride? I mean couldn't it be a groom? I mean you look like a fine young man and once my Haruka realizes he's gay-"

"MOTHER!" Haru yells bright red in the Face. I probably am too.

"Oh oh! See! Bingo! When I mentioned the ladies you only got annoyed. But suddenly I ask the similar of Prince Rin here, and you light up and get all embarrassed! Just admit it Haruka, you are-"

"FINE YA IM GAY! HAPPY NOW?" Haru yells swimming off towards the Palace. Wait he-he's gay? I have an actually a chance now?

"Hey Haru!" I yell swimming after him.

.:.Queen Anica's POV.:.
"Well I didn't think he'd actually admit it right here and now!" I say shocked. "Well umm shall we head to the Palace too then Quentin, and- Im Sorry I never caught both of your names!" I say turning towards the two Princesses.

"I'm Princess Avery of The Mer people." The Mermaid with the lovely Purple into magenta sparkling hair introduces herself.

"And I'm Princess Gou of the Shark People. Pleasure to meet you!" The Shark girl with maroon hair in a ponytail introduces.

"Pleasure is all mine! Now let's go to the Palace shall we?" I say as they all respond with an ok.

Hopefully we can get there before Doran can do anything. I know what he's done. He doesn't know that I know so I have to act like I still love him when I no longer. That love died the moment Haruka truly went missing.

At first when he ran away, there were still sightings of him. He was still in the Main City. But then that night Happened. I heard the screams of my son, and noticed the absence of my so called husband. I took the knife from under my pillow and made my way down stairs.

However when I got down stairs with my knife in hand, there was noting but a few cracks in the floor and a horrifying puddle of blood. My Haruka's blood.

When he was found all those years later, I was so happy until I saw him. When I saw him, my hatred for Doran truly exploded. It really is difficult to hide it. But I have to. He'll kill me if he finds out I know. He may not have killed that Alyssa girl but he killed her father. I really do hate that man.

Yet part of me still likes him. That part is very very small. Even though that tiny little part of me doesn't love him, I still dislike it. That man deserves to be hated by all. Pure hatred.
