Me and my family moved to a nearby beach, at Tokoshima City. My parents are so addicted to swimming. Me? I never liked swimming that much. Not even when I was a kid. I was walking down the shore to get some fresh air. Until I saw a strange thing at the water. It looked like a Fin. I'm not sure if it was a Dolphin or some kind of Flying Fish. I tried to ignore what I saw. I couldn't help it.

I, then, sat on the soft white sand, while the water washed away my feet. The wind blowing my hair in different ways. I kept looking at the water. The waves splashing around. People swimming. Some were doing surfboard and other activities.

"Rin? Come on inside! It's cold out there!" That woman calling my name? Yeah. That's my mom. Satsuki Fujiwara. She's a real over-protective mom. The more I grow up, she would still worry about me. Sometimes I just wanna tell her that I can handle things by myself. I don't need help. But she would still follow her ways. But I love my mom. She's cool.

"Coming mom!" I replied to her, as I got up and took one last peak at the ocean. I smiled a bit. I wonder what's it like being in the ocean.

Moments passed and it was night time. I ate my favorite food: Sushi and Soba! Really good! My dad is really a good chef. Mirio Fujiwara, He's the worlds greatest chef at Osaka, until he moved to Tokyo.

Anyways! I was coming out of our house, and headed back to the shore. Until I heard people talking.

"Did you hear? One of the fishermen said they saw a mermaid.."

"Really? But mermaids don't even exist."

Yeah, I don't believe in 'Magical' creatures.

So I was removing my dress, by the shore. Good thing I was wearing my bathing suit. I decided to swim once in a lifetime.

As the water splashed my body, and the deeper I went, I started drowning. I tried calling for help, but I was too far by the shore. Suddenly, I drowned completely. I didn't even know how to swim. I never got special training. As i drowned deeply, I closed my eyes thinking that I was gonna die fastly.

'This is how I'm gonna die? All I wanted was to live a normal life. With my mom and dad.. Maybe they could teach me.. How to.. Swim..'

There ,I , was hitting the sand from below with the coral reef. The fishes swimming around. I laid there unconsciously.
