I had a one shot in mind, but it sort of grew on its own…I decided to submit it. Anyway, read and review people! WARNING- This is slash! Of the RikuSora variety! Don't like, don't read! Remember, I warned you…It's not like I forced you to read it or something.

Chapter 01

The cool blue waves gently washed over the long, sandy shores, slowly rising in and out in a lazy fashion, as the tide came and left. The colorful corals beneath the calm surface brimmed with life of all kinds, the delicate ecosystem depending on the gentle tides and the waning sun. The sun seemed to disappear into the water, appearing to slip right into the deep blue. The sunset consumed the sky, filling it with a plethora of colors, dipping it into more reds, oranges and yellows then thought possible.

Where the sand dipped into the mainland, a great tropical forest flourished. The ideal, untouched conditions set as a perfect backdrop for such a scene. The forest seemed to be a great green abyss, slithering its way up the great mountain that peaked in the center of the island. A great fog consumed the very top of the mountain, hiding its peak away from curious eyes.

The underwater caves that dotted the island's shoreline were plentiful, allowing many assortments of creatures to rest there. This was where a small colony of mercreatures called home, a coven from the human world. A special hideaway, where they could live, eat and reproduce quietly- away from the prying eyes of the human world. Where a merfamily could raise children without worrying about safety, or whether they would be caught by humans or not.

It was here, in this small, safe, carefree sanctuary where a merman named Sora was born. And it was also here where a great businessman named Riku would find love.

Uhhhh, yeah. It was sort of short, I know. Review? Please, with Sora… and Riku on top? I just wanted to set up the scene in this chapter, so sorry about the short length.
