The Shark and The Siren

Chapter 1:

    As the sun rises over the horizon, it illuminates the calm waters. The fish and Mers began to stir, as the sun creeped higher into the sky. Sun uncurls from his tail, and yawns. "Goooodd morning~ me!!" He says. He gets up and hunts for fish. He spots something shining on the seafloor as he was mid-hunt. Him, being a siren, goes down and inspects the shiny object. "Fish hook..." he whispers as he grabs it and looks up at the surface. "Humans are getting closer to our waters..." he inspects the hook. Seems like it was put there yesterday, or a week ago.

    It had very little rust, so it couldn't have been there long. He sees another shining item out of the corner of his eye. He cautiously swims over to it. "Shark Spear!!" He quickly swam backwards, away from the spear. Sharks and Sirens had a deep history. They've been rivals for thousands of years. "Oh..what do I do!? There's a Shark in our waters..." Sun looked around, panicked. He calmed his anxiety, as he picked up the spear and throws it. "Huh..that-that's actually fun!" He perks up. He knew that the spear was in shark territory, and swam away. "Halt!!" A voice called from the shark waters. Sun stopped and looked back. His eyes met with piercing red eyes.

    'Oh- stars...' Sun thought to himself. The shark crept closer to him. Sun sat there, frozen in fear. The shark had a few scars, and was missing his right arm. "Who are you, and why are you in our waters?" The shark put a spear to Sun's neck, and Sun put his webbed hands up. "I-I..my name's Sun..a-and..wait- your waters?" Sun tilts his head. "Yes, our waters!" The shark pressed the tip of his spear on Sun's scaly skin. Sun flinched a little.

    "I-I'm sorry..you-you must be mistaken!! This is Siren waters.." Sun spoke up. The shark sharpens his gaze at Sun. "A-anyways!! Who-who are you??" Sun said in a panic. He was always too kind to everyone, even when they didn't deserve it. "Moon." The Shark said. Sun nods. "Name..suits you!" Sun gave a nervous chuckle at the end. Moon just glared at Sun, and Sun shut up immediately. "Any-anyways!! I have to go now..." Sun said quickly before swimming backwards again. Moon grabs his fin, forcefully, and Sun yelps in pain. "O-ow!! Hey!" Sun yelled at Moon. Moon gripped the fin harder. Sun tired to pull away, but given that his webbing in his tail was fragile, he couldn't without ripping his tail. "Let go!!" Sun raised his voice at Moon. Moon snickered and pulled Sun down a little,using the harder part of Sun's tail. He jerked Sun down, causing immense pain in Sun's tail. Sun shrieks in pain, only to have his mouth covered by Moon's hand. "Be quiet." Moon says. "You aren't going anywhere." Moon grabs Sun's hips and pulls him into a cave system. "Hey! Where are we going..?" Sun asked, worried out of his mind.

    "You are trespassing, therefore you must be punished." Moon says in a quite unfriendly tone. "Pu-punished?! How am I trespassing?" Sun asked. Sun was terrified on what was to happen to him. Moon did not answer the question, and just kept swimming. Sun noticed that Moon's tail looked like the night sky. "Hey..are those real stars?" Sun brushed his hand against Moons tail, and Moon smacked Sun's hand away. "No, you dipshit. Use that brain of yours. If these were real, both you and I would be dead." Moon crossed his arms and continued to swim. Sun got tired of swimming upright, and flipped onto his back. Moon looked at him in surprise. "H-how are you doing that?" Moon looks over at Sun, who was currently swimming backwards. "Huh? It's easy, just put your tail in front of you, and swim like normal." Sun simply states. "I don't think Sharks can do that, Sun..." Moon growled. "Riiight, because you can't move your tail's up and down...you sway side to side~" Sun giggles. Moon looked at him, and glared. Sun felt Moons sharp gaze and stopped giggling.

    "Anyways...where are we going again? The water's are starting to get warmer..." Sun flipped back around and was now swimming forward. "You'll see when we get there, Starlight." Moon said, speeding up a little. Sun blushed a little from the pet name. Sun picked up his pace and caught up with Moon. "Why are you swimming so fast?" Sun said, a little breathless. "I smell a threat, that's why.." Moon's facial expression went from dead serious, to slightly worried. "What possible threats are there? We're literally in a cave system.." Sun said, annoyed. Moon didn't say anything, and picked up pace again. Sun groans and swims faster to catch up again. "You know I'm not build for swimming as fast as you...right?" Sun said, almost breathlessly. Moon looked over at him, and smirked. He swam even faster. Sun gasped, and growled annoyed. "I'm really starting to hate this guy..." he says to himself. Sun swam as fast as he could to catch up, and slowed down as soon as he caught up to Moon. "Took ya long enough." Moon snickered. Sun rolls his eyes and continues to swim alongside Moon. Moon turned a sharp corner, and it surprised Sun. Sun stopped and turned back to follow. "Moon!! Wait up!" Sun called. Moon didn't stop though, just kept swimming.

"WAIT UPP!!!" Sun hollers and swims as fast as he could, again to catch up with Moon. He eventually caught up before getting smacked in the face by Moon's hand. "Ow! Son of a...that hurt!" Sun rubs where he was hit. Moon just laughed. Moon took Sun's free hand and led him into a cave. It was..unique. It had a table-like stone in the center of the room, and a turn off into a separate cave. 'One person must live here..' Sun thought to himself. Moon took off his armor and placed it on a peral armor stand, and put a perl chest piece on. "Clearly someone wants to look good for no reason." Sun put his hand on his hip, and looked at Moon with a playful grin. Moon scoffs, "Well, I have guests over. It'd be rude of me not to look nice." Moon copied Sun's actions. Sun couldn't help but giggle. "So..earlier, you said you were gonna punish me..what did you mean by that..?" Sun gave a worried, but curious look.

"You'll see~" Moon swam closer to Sun. Sun wanted to back up, but something stopped him from doing that. "Wh-why are you getting so close to me..?" Sun backed against the cave wall. Moon just got closer. Soon, Moon was face to face with Sun. Sun blushed because of how close Moon was. "M-Moon..?" Sun asked, a little scared. Moon got really close to Sun's face now.
