Ok first off let me just say I hate the Little Mermaid movie , Disney version not the Anime one. No, really, I do very bad, blah. I do, however, like mermaids are we clear now? Good, this whole thing really comes from one piece of fan art I found forever an a half ago. Never tought of Duo and Ningyo before, Ningyo is the Japanese word for mermaid. I am not sure why a picture I found over a year ago has decided to hijack my brain when it did, but it happens so here we go. This fic is posted on FFN and is the frist of my works there to add here. Only joined this site becuase a Guildie suggested it, so we will be taking it slow. If you are new to Anime I appolgize for any terms I use that confuse you for a bit, I am use to Otaku after so many years.
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing, /sad face, I make no money form this, it is simply a hoby. That is all, thank you.
WarNinGs: Shounen-Ai, AU, somewhat OOC, Mystical Creatures, not much in this chapter.
Aishi Say
"Teach me to hear mermaids singing." A line from the curse in 'Howl's Moving Castle' it's a pretty little poem.

Cats hate the water. I could never understand that; they love fish, which live in water, but they themselves hate it. Well, alright, most do. There's this one tabby kitten who loves coming to my little hidey hole; he really likes water, go figure. I hide so I can watch him. I do so love watching land creatures, especially humans, though if one ever saw me I would be in big trouble. Truthfully, I don't care about that. Humans fascinate me and they always have, so I watch and I learn, even if it may get me killed someday.

With a soft sigh Duo folded his arms on a narrow rock shelf, which so happened to lead into a maze of caves. He had always liked it in there, because it was so safe. Only children ever wandered far into his cave and adults rarely believed what children say. Tab, as Duo had come to name the curious little kitten, walked slowly up to the brunette before sitting down, his tail twitching as he watched small fish dart by in the pool below. The merman loved cats as well as humans; he found that they had such an easy liquid grace and amusing playful personality, that it made them fun to watch, even if they did eat fish. "So Tab, slow day eh? Gray skies mean no humans, as if that rain stuff hurts or something. At least I have you to talk to little guy."
"Meow!" The still somewhat clumsy kitten cried, looking behind him, his tail lashing and his tiny nose twisting and sniffing.
"What Tab?" Duo asked, blinking when the kitten ran off mewing happily about something or other, maybe more cats? He ducked down into the water when his bright eyes caught sight of a dark robed figure, which was kneeing down to scratch the small kitten that had been rubbing on his leg. 'I see Tab has himself a human friend, that's good, he's a good kitty and I can't exactly take him home with me.'
The human stood, purring kitten in his arms, smile half hidden in shadow, "Silly thing." He teased as the kitten playfully batted at his hood, yowling in fear when its short little claws snagged. Trowa placed a gentle hand on the kitten's paw, "Shh…hold still little one."
Duo watched as a small paw was carefully worked lose with gentle care before the human pulled back his hood. Wide deep violet eyes blinked in surprise, the human was young and handsome with long bangs falling like a graceful wing over his left eye. The young man laughed when the cat batted at his hair, this time happy when his little claws didn't stick. Duo moved closer, wanting a better view, but he stopped when he saw the man's eyes, "Cat eyes?" He wondered softly, not wanting to draw the human's attention away for the kitten and right to him.
