A/n: hello and welcome to my new story! I was really excited about writing this. You see I was watching something the other day on TV, it was about mermaids and was showing video evidence, maybe some of you watched it! It was called mermaids the new evidence. I just couldn't help myself but write this! It gave me a little inspiration to write this story, so here is the first chapter! Enjoy~

"Thanks again for coming with me Alfred-san it's a huge help." Two men were walking down a port one with black raven hair with brown eyes. The one accompanying him is one Alfred F. Jones, the man had short blonde hair with a cowlick that always seems to always defy gravity, and blue eyes that could remind anyone of the sea. The two were walking down to do a report about marine life, Kiku, the first mentioned, is a marine biologist. He studied all he could about the wonders of the sea. He was looking to follow in the foot steps of his father.

Alfred however didn't have any interest in this however, he just came along because kiku asked him to help with the report. Alfred had his doubts that Kiku really needed help though. He is always trying to make Alfred love the sea and the animals in it, but so far it hasn't worked…to him there wasn't anything he really needed to know about the sea. And if there was it was not as exciting as his games and horror films, so he never took interest.

"uh no prob dude, so what exactly are we going to do here anyway? I know you said we were going to do a report, but what about?" Alfred asked wondering what exactly is taking away his precious gaming time.

"The report is about how the marine life is handling the currents of the waters, since recently they have been rough and rampant now a days."

"sounds like fun. Were do we start?"

"well we can go ahead and get to the ship, were going to sail out a bit for we can study the animals better, since most of them won't be up by the docks." he explained walking towards the docks where the ships were with Alfred following closely behind. Once they got to the ship they loaded a little supplies they had brought for the trip and stepped aboard. Kiku told the crew on the ship they were ready and they started sailing off into the waters.

It took about another hour of sailing and Alfred whining about being bored until they reached the destination they were going to be studying at. (and by they I mean kiku studying, and Alfred looking bored at the waters below)

"Ok Alfred-san were here, if you could help me lower the mics into the water that would be great." Kiku said, Alfred nodded and followed the Asian man to the side of the ship to help lower the mic.

"So…why are we lowering mics into the water for, won't that ruin them?"

"No, these are water proof mics, we use them to listen to the marine life below the waters that we wouldn't be able to before." Alfred tilted his head a little with slight confusion thinking about the information that was given.

"Why would you need to listen to fish for?" he asked in disinterest.

"You can tell how they feel or what their doing, like a mating call or distress call for example. Its actually really helpful to biologists with their work. It can also help us determine when one of the animals are hurt and we could help it out of a harmful situation it could be in." kiku explained. They finally lowered the mics all the way down to the water, Kiku waved for Alfred to follow him and they went to the little recorder that was hooked up to the mic that was now below underwater.

"Here come listen, you might be able to hear a call." Kiku handed the one set of headphones to him so he would be able to listen. Alfred took them with little interest, but when he put them on he immediately heard something but it was unlike anything he heard before, and it didn't sound like any sea creature, but more like a human who was singing under water. Alfred furrowed his brows at the sound , 'it can't be a human down there that's impossible…' Alfred kept listening and he couldn't help but be soothed by the sound, it has to have been the most beautiful thing he has ever heard.

"Alfred? Do you hear anything?" kiku asked, a little miffed by the daze he went into. Alfred turned back to the other with excitement in his eyes.

"Its amazing kiku! Its like nothing I have heard before. But it doesn't seem like a fish or anything. It's more like a-" before Alfred could finish he heard what sounded like a silent scream of distress coming from the headphones, but it didn't sound like the same voice he heard before. Suddenly a crash of thunder came from above and a flash of lightening came from the sky. Alfred looked to the sky in surprise. There was storm clouds everywhere now, they looked almost as black as the night sky, that can't be good… Alfred took off the headphones and turned to Kiku again.

"What, I thought there wasn't supposed to be a storm today?" Alfred asked a little worried staring at the now swirling clouds above.

"Sometimes flash storms can come up…we better start heading back, the clouds doesn't look so good…" Kiku said thoughtfully still looking at the sky. Alfred put back on the headphones to see if he could hear anything again, but when he put them on he couldn't hear the voice he heard before. with a sigh Alfred stood up and waved at Kiku to follow him. They started walking off to the crew to tell them to turn back. The two didn't make it very far however because the waves suddenly started to get worse and they started to stumble across the deck. The rain was coming down hard now, and every second it seemed like a new crash of thunder and lightning bombed through the air.

"Kiku you wait here and hold on to something, I'll try to get to the wheel and help the crew." Alfred yelled over the thunder crashes. Kiku nodded and started to fumble for something to hold on to. Alfred tried to walk to the wheel but before he could the ship was suddenly hit with a wave that was bigger then all the others before. He got thrown to the side of the ship near the railing, almost falling off in the process. With a cough he tried to steady himself and try to walk again, but that seemed useless since the waves were really starting to pick up and rock the boat fiercely.

Alfred growled in annoyance before trying to get up and walk again, though this seemed to be a wrong choice as the ship was hit with a big wave again and he was thrown off the side of the ship. He was still hanging off the side of the ship with one hand on the rail. Kiku started to run towards him to try to help but as soon as Alfred saw him trying to get to him struggling, he couldn't have Kiku try in vain to save him when it would most likely be the end with the both of them. He was the hero after all, so if he had to sacrifice himself in the process to save his friend, then so be it. So with his mind made up and one last look to his friend he let go of the railing and started falling to the raging ocean depths.

Alfred hit the water hard and almost got knocked out by the impact alone, almost. He started to struggle against the waves of the water in vain. The waves kept throwing him around until they finally engulfed him and pulled him under. Alfred tried again to struggle but seemed to be of no use, as he wasn't getting anywhere through the water. His muscles were aching everywhere from the struggle he was putting up, he tried the best as he could to get back up but still got no were. Excepting defeat Alfred finally stop struggling and let himself be taken by the waves.

He closed his eyes in acceptance slowly drifting off. But before he could go completely unconscious he felt arms snaking around his waist and start to pull him up. His eyes popped open at the unexpected touch and when he tried to focus his eyes he could make out the fuzzy figure of a human, though the bottom half of the person looked strange and lightly discolored. He could also see fuzzy blonde hair and a magnificent green that he guessed to be their eyes.

Alfred could feel his consciousness slipping away from him again and he struggled to keep his eyes open, though it was futile as his eyes finally slipped shut. But before he could go completely out he heard a very familiar voice say 'don't worry, everything will be alright', then everything went black.

When Alfred woke up he was laying in a bed covered up. He quickly sat up and looked around to try and figure out were he was. When he recognized it as his home he slumped back down to the bed. 'weird how did I get back here? The last thing I remember I was drowning and…someone saved me…but who? I heard a voice before I went out and it sounded a lot like-'

Alfred never got to finish his thought as the door to his room opened and revealed another blonde at the entrance of his room. As soon as the one by the door saw him awake he rushed right next to him to check to see if he was ok.

"Oh my gosh Al are you ok, do you feel alright?" he said with a worried look on his face.

Coming out of his thoughts he looked back up onto his brothers face with a small smile. "of course I'm alright Matt, heroes don't go down that easily." Alfred said with a reassuring smile, though a confused look came to his face soon after. "…hey matt, how did I get here anyway? The last thing I really remember is being with Kiku" he asked with his head tilted a little in slight confusion.

"Oh right Kiku brought you back after you guys returned. He also told me how you were reckless and fell of the side of the ship. Al you really need to be more careful, you could have been killed!" Matthew said with a frown adorning his face, waving his arms about for emphasis.

"Well yeah…but I'm not, that has to count for something, right? But anyways who saved me back there on the boat, the last thing I saw before I lost conciseness was somebody pulling me back up out of the water." his brother looked at him in confusion with his eyebrows furrowed.

"What do you mean Alfred? No one saved you, they found you back on the deck after you fell about a couple minutes before. They assumed you swam back up and got on the deck. There was no other explanation for what happened…" he said with worry in his voice.

Alfred stared at him for another minute before he understood what his brother was saying. "but that can't be true! I saw someone pulling me out of the water, they had blonde hair and green eyes. There has to have been someone!" Alfred said desperately trying to get his brother to understand what had really happened.

"Maybe you should get some more rest Al, I'll go get started on supper and you can come eat afterwards ok?" With that Matthew left the room with one more smile towards his brother. Alfred huffed once his brother was out the door.

"Great, now I suppose he thinks I'm crazy…I may be American, but I'm not crazy " Alfred sat there for a few more minutes before he thought of something. Before Matthew came in he was on the verge of remembering something. 'what was it again? I was trying to remember who saved me right? So… before Matt walked in I was remembering who saved me…the hair, eyes, and…the voice! That was it. Before I blacked out I heard a voice.' Alfred immediately paled when he remembered the next thing. But what freaked him out wasn't really the voice, but what the voice sounded like. It sounded just like the one singing he heard when he was listening to the mics before the storm happened!
