    Summary

    Groaning, he tried again, he was just about to bellow out a call for ‘SIGHTING!’ when a head popped out of the water, cloaked in liquid gold and crimson. Akaza had sworn there was fire sitting on the water for a moment, then he realized it was hair, someone's head. 

     

    The pieces fell together and Akaza’s breath left him in a woosh. 

     

    It was a mermaid.

     

    They were real, and it was bobbing in the water just sixty or so feet below him.

    Summary

    Akaza, one of the top staff at an aquarium with a rehabilitation center finds himself in quite the pickle when a siren comes into the facility. One he shouldn't have feelings for, but yet does. What path does he take to handle these stirred emotions.

    This is an AU (Alternate universe), I am deciding the characters are not going to conform around the traditional hashira/demon groups. In other words, Akaza will be interacting with characters that are demon slayers in the manga even though he himself is a demon in the manga. In this story he is human and interacts with other humans from the manga. Kyojuro is not human and his interactions with other merfolk may or may not be demon or human characters from the manga. That’s why it’s an AU, the hierarchy and relationships are entirely different.

    Summary

    The demon pulled away and, after a moment, finally rose to its feet. Kyojuro watched as it returned to the open door and then stopped, turning back to meet his gaze.

    “Don’t die, Kyojuro.”

    What right did it have to say that to him? Kyojuro might have laughed, but something about the way it said those words sucked any malice from his thoughts.

    It wasn’t an order, but it wasn’t a request either.

    “If I live, Demon, it will not be for you.”

    Upper Moon Three nodded and left.

    ---

    Kyojuro’s life is plagued by Death. It hovers over his shoulder, watches his every move, and patiently waits for the day it will take him by the hand and lead him to the next life.

    Upper Moon Three thinks it can ward away Death with three words. It’s naive. Unrealistic. A promise that cannot be kept. And yet the demon continues to return, and Kyojuro is still alive.

    The least he can do is try to keep it that way.
