Good bye, you guys. (Toshi, Ember and Yuudai.)

Ember giggled,ans splashed him."Hehe!" She giggled more then ducked underwater so he couldnt splash her back,then opened her eyes.Under the moonlight this large pond glowed with a white kind of color,so Ember decided to give it a name.The Moonlit Pond.It also had a waterfall of the same color and a cave too.They could even go camping.She was running out of air so she bobbed her head back over the water and took a large breath.

As soon as she surfaced, Yuudai splashed her with all his might. Making a wave comming toward her.

"EEEEKK!" Ember shreiked and braced herself.

After the water cleared away, Yuudai laughed, "Hah hah! I got you! I totally got you!" and he splashed again, but not as hard.

Ember stuck her tongue out after the water passed."Meanie." She chanted over and over.But she was giggling in-between.She swam over to him and wrapped her arms around him and pressed her body close."I know how to dunk you." She teased.

"Go ahead!" he said and poofed into a log. He was sitting on the edge of the waterfall. "Heh heh."

"Ah!" Ember said as she fell into the water.She came back up and spat out some of the water and gave a pouty,'unfair' face."I wasnt planning on using any jutsus...." She mumbled.

"So. That doesn't mean I won't" he jumped down into the water with a *splash!* and he stayed under for a while.

Ember`s pout turned into a sly smile."But..Just a few genjutus...." She used a illusion that looked like real,dead,ugly mermaids that would come from the depths and drag you down.....
And here they came....
The fake ones,
And the real ones.
The real ones Ember didnt know about.Untill they wrapped their bony fingers around her ankles and dragged her under.

As Yuudai was sinking, he felt bony fingers grab his ankles. He jerked as they dragged him down. He pulled out a kunai and started cutting at their hands.

Those were the illusions,so they just 'poofed' as if they were clones,and they were gone.Ember tried cutting at the hands of the real ones,but they didnt 'poof' as she prayed they would.They screamed a most heart wrenching scream and let go.But she couldnt swim back up to the surface.Seaweeds got her stuck.She cut those off then swam back up to the surface as fast as she could,took a huge breath when she reached air and then grabbed Yuudai and yanked him out of the water with her.She was panting and she had cuts on her legs from the sharp nails of the mermaids.

"Are you okay? What happened!? Something just grabbed me, but when I cut it, it poofed away."

Ember coughed out some of the water before answering,"That was..my..genjutsu..What got me...Was the real...dead..mermaid..things.." She panted holding her heart,eyes wide.

"You put a genjustu on me?" he lightly punched her in the shoulder, then said, "Those things have to be killed, or at least taken out of the water."

The thought of getting back in the water made her shiver.The water wasnt cold,but once you see the face of the real mermaid,
It kinda makes a permanet scar in your head."The mermaids arent as beautiful as you think,Yuudai-kun." She said with a small,unsure giggle.She wrapped her arms around Yuudai and kissed his bare shoulder."Have you taken mermaid study class?How can we kill them?"

"I don't know..... but I'm gonna find out!" Yuudai then jumped back into the water, and pulled out a kunai, ready for the mermaids to come and try to grab him.

Ember thought about this for a while.Mermaids are attracted to pearls...She jumped in the water and started searching the shallow ends for a pearl.The only pearl that came into veiw was a...red one??
She picked it up,stabbed the center with a kunai and red liquid leaked out.She knew it wasnt blood.She had smelled blood for years and this was a earthy and sappy smell.She took a small shurriken star and dipped the red liquid on each point of the wepon then threw the pearl in the water and the red liquid leaked out,looking like blood.That ought to fool the mermaids.
She swam over to Yuudai and held the shurriken star firmly in her hand."Yuudai I need you to get them ALL in a group or a clump,and when I throw this...." she paused.Heck,she didnt know what would happen if she threw it.It was just a guess.A very risky one too."Hopefully it will kill them all."

"Check." and he dived down deep into the water. Looking for the mermaids. 'Where are you? You ugly little things!' he thought as he decended.

((lol))
Ember watched as all the mermaids piled onto Yuudai.She waited for a few mere seconds to see if that was all the mermaids.And it was.Yuudai was sinking down quickly.Ember took a shot,and it hit the mermaids thankfully.
All the mermaids let out their heart-stopping scream,
And vanished.
But Yuudai was knocked out.So Ember dived under and grabbed him,helping him up onto the shore.

Once they got ashore Yuudai instantly came back. "Cuttin' it a little close there. Wern't ya?"

Ember smiled."Sorry." She said shrugging a bit.

"Are you sure they're dead?" he asked looking down the pond. He shuddered at the fact that the mermaids might still be there.

"I think so.At least were safe,and not dead..or one of them...right?"

"Let's just go. I don't want to be here anymore right now." he went and grabbed his shirt and pulled it on. "Where do you want to go now?"

Ember had to admit,she had some arrends to run,even though the sun setted a half an hour ago."Well,Ive got to diliver something to my family`s tombstones,but you really dont have to come if you dont want to."
