~•~Haru's POV~•~
Did I really just do that? Did I really just admit to being gay in front of my mother, Gou, and Rin? I mean Q and Avery already know. I'm surprised they don't hate me. I know my mother doesn't cause she's been saying I'm gay for years but she'll probably tell dad.

Why the hell am I headed towards the Palace of all places to go? Where am I anyways? I look around to see I'm right by the Park. Time to make a detour then. I go up and sit on the old coralweed tree. This way if Avery or Husky are following me they shouldn't be able to see me.

"Haru? Hey Haru where'd you go?" I hear Rin calling for me. Wait why is he following me? Doesn't he hate me? Maybe he's looking for me so he can kill me or something. Well I guess what they say is true, love kills.

But I don't want to die. Then again if my Love hates me what's worth living? I mean all my friends might be sad for awhile but they'd get over it. I just need to curl up in a ball and disappear. That way I won't feel the Pain of death. Wait is death even painful? Is there even a way of knowing without dying? Probably not. It probably depends on how you die.

"Haru come on I saw you swim into this old park I know your here. Just come out! It's not like I'm gonna hurt you!" Rin shouts. That's what a killer would say. That's what my dad used to say before he punished me. Before he kidnaped me. Crap I'm crying now. Don't make a noise, Don't make a no-

"Haru? There you are! Hey hey hey why you crying? It's ok!" Rin says swimming up next to me.

"No it's not!" I sob out "I'm a fucking piece of gay trash! I will never be King of the Dolphineans though I'm the only son! I can't even call my self a Dolpinean without disgracing the Dolpinean name!"

"SHUT UP!" Rin yells at me causing me to jump. "SHUT UP! STOP PUTTING YOURSELF DOWN HARU! DONT LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU THAT! NOT EVEN YOURSELF BECAUSE THATS A LOAD OF BULL SHIT!" Rin continues to shout at me shaking my shoulders. But why does he have tears in his eyes? Why does he even care?

"WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE? YOUR THE PRINCE OF THE SHARK PEOPLE! THE SOON TO BE KING! YOU DONT NEED ANYTHING BUT A BRIDE! YOU DONT NEED ANY EXTRA TRAINING OR ANYTHING YOUVE ALREADY GOT IT DOWN!" I scream back at him. He's so much better than me.

"THATS THE PROBLEM HARU! I DONT WANT A BRIDE I WANT YOU!"

"What?" I say shocked. Does that mean he-

"I like you Haru! More than a friend should! No no not like. I- I- I LOVE YOU PRINCE HARUKA NANASE!" He shouts at me.

"Y-Yo-You really love me?" I ask tears flowing down my face and butterflies having a rave in my stomach.

((Just imagine a bunch or Reis' having a rave in Haru's stomach. K back to the story))

"Y-ya I do. I know you probably do-" I cut him of by kissing him on the lips. I swear I can see sparks fly, like fireworks. I swear I can hear Katy perry. I think time has stopped. But alas even Hybrids need to breath so we pull away. Rin looks shocked and it's kinda cute. I accidentally let out a giggle. He just looked so cute and funny I couldn't help it!

"What was that?" Rin asks with a smirk though he's still blushing redder than his gorgeous red eyes.

"The kiss or the giggle?" I ask smiling a little. My face is probably as red if not redder than his but frankly I don't care.

"Both really."

"Well the answer to both is that you were just to cute. Kinda hot too." I respond with another giggle. I'm so the Uke. But at least I can make him red. How did he even get any redder than he was?

"S-shut up" He stutters out.

"AND DANCE WITH ME! That's right I'm ruining the moment! Wait why am I doing this? Nevermind ignore me and continue!" Avery screams jumping out from behind the old slide and then wining back behind it.

"Ugh how long were you guys here for?" Rin says turning around.

" Since you said you didn't want a bride." Q replies swimming out from the old rocking fish spring thing.

"Your mom is quite easy to get away from Haru. I was pretty surprised we could all just swim away with out her noticing." Gou says sliding down the old tube slide thing.

"Gou you shouldn't be sliding- Wait did you say you guys just swam away from her without saying anything?" I question, to which they all nod. "Oh noooo." I say pinching the Bridge of my nose. Then right on cue the sounds of swishing tails and marching webbed feet is heard. Me and Rin swim out of the tree. Everyone besides me is looking really confused.

"Avery remember when I told you I was used to the drills because my mother was so over protective and all about safety?" I question looking up at her.

"Yaaa what about it? What's going on."

"Well when I say she's over protective I mean she's REEEAAALLY overprotective and flips out if someone doesn't know where Exactly I am. She also becomes overprotective of my friends the moment she meets them." I respond.

"Sooo?" Gou says in a questioning tone tilting her head.

"Oh dear." Avery says realizing the problem.

"Soooo, in her mind her 'Sweet little baby Haruka' and his friends have mysteriously disappeared and obviously there's a 75% chance that they are in danger. So now what would you do if someone special to you was probably in danger?" I explain mocking my mothers voice and then questioning Gou and Q who still don't get it. I assume Rin caught on when I said my mother was overprotective.

"Well I would get help and-ooooohh I see the problem." Quentin says eyes widening.

"At this moment Avery, Q, and Gou knew, They fucked up." Rin says in a weird voice.

"WE FOUND THEM!" We hear suddenly getting swarmed.

"DO NOT WORRY PRINCE HARUKA AND FRIENDS! WE WILL HANDEL THIS! BUT PLEASE IF YOU KNOW WHERE THE KIDNAPPERS WENT PLEASE DO TELL!" I hear my uncle Arnold aka head of the Royal guard yell starting to walk up to us. He's a full body.

"Oh Haruka are you alright? Did they hurt you? What did they do to you? Oh you must be petrified!" My half tail Aunt Marry says swimming up to me and hugging me close to her. She's the head of all the Medical stuff in the Kingdom.

"Aunt Marry I'm fine! There are no Kidnappers, We just took a detour from the Palace that's all! Quentin, Avery, and Gou just didn't tell my mother!" I say pushing her off of me.

"Oh ok. ALRIGHT MEN- er and Women, FALSE ALARM! JUST MY SISTER ER I MEAN QUEEN ANICA FREAKING OUT AND BEING MISS INFORMED!" Uncle Arnold yells to the Guards and few soldiers.

"UGGHHHH" can be heard from almost every man and woman.

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Every time!"
"The queen who yelled kidnapped."

"Ugh why do you always gotta run off without telling anyone Haru?" I hear the voice of my bratty and a bit arrogant cousin James.

"1. I wasn't the one who ran off without her knowing, she saw me swim away.
2. Why do you always have to be so annoying and bratty?" I counter turning towards the 14 year old.

"Emotionless gay Mackerel."

"Stupid annoying bratty tuna sucker."

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"No"

"Yes"

"No!"

"No"

"Yes! Wait hey! You tricked me!" He wines.

"Lady's lady's please!" Avery says butting in.

"Hoe don't do it." I say trying to warn him.

"Stay out of this Fish Bitch!"

"Oh my god." And now I don't have a cousin. Yay!

"Bitch What?"

"You heard me you ugly fat hoe!"

"Bitch whare? Whare do you see fat? Where do you see ugly?" Aver says saying 'where' weirdly.

"Bitch There!" He says gesturing to all of her. Aver responds by just staring at him with a " Did you really just do that?" Face.

"Look here lil boy you do not treat a princess like this. You do not treat any one like this! Where is your mother because I need to teach her how to raise a child!" Avery rants in his face. "And talk back to me one more time and see what happens! If you want a burger, eat a burger! If you want a french fry, eat a french fry! If you want a slap in the face, talk back cause I'll deliver!"

"Ya right you can't hit me you have no authority. You're to ugly to be a princess."

Oh no.

And suddenly a really really loud smack can be heard throughout the ocean. A tidal wave consumes all of the islands in the world. California is now flooding along with the rest of America! And my cousin, well let's just say I'm glad me and Rin got out of that tree because there is no tree anymore. Avery is hella strong. Anger just makes her stronger.

"What happened?! Where's James?" My Aunt says swimming back.

"He ran off that way because he couldn't come up with a good comeback." I lie going back to my indifferent self.

"Oh ok. JAMES COME HERE! THERES NO NEED TO ACT LIKE THAT!" She says swimming off in the direction he went.

"How did she not notice the tree?" Gou asks deadpanning.

"Who knows, don't care let's get to the Palace before she comes back." Avery says swimming off.

"Yeah alright. Let's go, I'm hungry." Rin says grabbing my hand and swimming after her. Well my face is pink now.

/\/Rin's POV\/\
He likes me too! I'm so happy right now! And a bit scared. I'm even more frightened of Avery now. Any ways I'm starv-

"HARUKA-SENPAI!" Who the hell is that? We all turn to see a Sealik, a Pengunian, and an Orcanian swimming over to us.

"Rei, Nagisa, Makoto! What the hell are you doing here?" Haru says seemingly surprised. What I want to know is how he knows them.

"Haru-chan there are Humans! They- They found our Kingdoms! They've kidnapped at least 30 of each of our kind! We saw them heading towards the Merkingdom! We have to hurry before they-" The Pengunian crys frantically tears streaming down his face.

"Whoa wait what!?!? How the heck did they know how to find us?!? Our Kingdoms have been hidden for thousands of years! Did you guys warn the Merpeople?" Avery screams clearly panicking a bit.

"No we didn't have time! And I don't know how they found us!" The Orcanian replies sadly.

"Guys we have to go! They are probably on their way!" The Sealik butts in.

"Where do we go?!? And shouldn't we warn the Dolphineans before we go?" My sister says panicking a bit too.

"While all you were talking I already did that. As for where to go, I say our best bet is the surface" Q replies.

"Are you crazy we can't go to the surface!" The Sealik yells at Quentin.

"Well what should we do then?" Quentin counters.

"Uhhhh Oh! We could build our own kingdom together with all non-captured people from our kingdoms and then-" Pengunian begins.

"And then it'll happen again!" Q cuts him off.

"Uh- Ok ok let's go guys!" Sealik gives in.

"Where exactly are we going?" I ask as we follow them.

"I don't care where we're going as long as it's away from here, because the Humans are here right now." The Sealik says pointing towards a bunch of weird metal things. I think they're called submarines but they look weird.

"OK WE'RE GOING! LEZ GO!" Avery says panicking. We all pick up the pace trying to get away.

"So where ARE we going?" Haru asks repeating my question.

"Near the Surface and then Land." Q responds.

"Ok but where on land? How are we gonna even get Haru, Avery, Makoto, and-" The Sealik begins before stopping and looking at me and Gou.

"Hey, um Haru, Who are the people with Maroon Hair?" The Pengunian asks.

"Huh? Oh that's Rin and Gou, Rin, Gou, this is Nagisa, Rei, and Makoto. They uh, helped me escape from my father." Haru says introducing us all.

"Rin? Wait is this the Rin you said you've got a crush on Haru-chan?" Nagisa questions with a smirk.

"Hai." Haru says quietly while blushing.

"Wait a minute, Is your Name Rin Matsukoa?" Makoto questions.

"Yeah why?" I ask looking at him.

"Do you know Sosuke Yamazaki?" He asks me.

"Ya, Wait how do you know Sosuke?" I question him.

"Hey isn't Sosuke your boyfriend Mako-chan?" Nagisa asks with a mischievous smile.

"Ehh? Sosuke got a boyfriend and didn't tell me?!?" I cry, more than I ask.

"NO! He's not my boyfriend he's my FRIEND!" Makoto counters.

"He's your friend as much as Haru is Emotional." Nagisa counters back.

"That doesn't really make sense Nagisa." Rei intervenes.

"All right, those who can't breath under water hold your breath cause we are leaving Dolphinean Territory!" Avery yells back at us.

"I thought we were going towards the Surface?" I say in a questioning tone.

"We are but the Dolphinean Territory doesn't go all the way towards the surface and we haven't really gone up that far yet. Any who I wanna stay as hidden as possible which means limited trips to the actual surface." Avery explains.

"Wait do you know if the Humans have gone to the Shark kingdom yet?" Gou asks. To which they all shake their heads.

"Why does it matter?" Avery asks.

"Cause our Mom, Aunt, Uncle, and people are there." I say in a duh tone with slight worry. I then hear Haru gasp. I turn towards him to find he's covered up his Mouth. "Haru what's wrong? Do you need air?" I ask grabbing his arm in case he does. But he shakes his head and points to Avery.

"Huh what about me? Oh wait my mom and Dad? I'm sure their-" But Haru just shakes his head again. He points at Avery then his tail. What?

"*Gasp* Alyssa!" Q crys. Haru nods frantically at him.

"Oh crap. Umm shit! I hope she's alright!" Avery says running a hand through her hair.

"Well we can't go back now! We've just gotta go." Gou says a bit sadly.

"But-*sigh* Ya, Alright. Come on let's Hurry." Q says.
