--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Iwatobi, the three mermen were swimming around to find their missing friend.

"Haru!" Makoto shouted.

"Haru-chan! Where are you?!" Nagisa shouted as he tried to search.

"Haruka-senpai!" Rei called feeling worry.

"Where are you, Haru...?" Makoto mumbled.

Ever since Haruka went missing, his friends couldn't stop to search for him. They didn't know how he went missing or disappear to... They were feeling worry for him.

"Any sign of Haru?" Makoto asked earning a shook from the two mermen. "Let's search for him again."

The three of them began their search again and pray that they can quickly find their missing friend...

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Are you ready, Haru?" Misaki asked happily while carrying three big bags around her.

"Hm," Haruka nodded and he seems fully prepared for the trip.

"No, I refuse him to go with you!" Rin shouted angrily.

"Your majesty!" Nitori shouted as he tried to hold him down.

Every year, Misaki always go back to her home to do some cleaning. Although she lives in the palace, she always ask for a day off when that day comes. The day when her parents left her alone in this world. Rin and Gou will always accompany her. However, only today, both can't... Rin has to attend a meeting with the ministers and Gou has to go to a tea party.

"Sorry I couldn't go...," said Rin as he glared at Nitori. "Nitori here actually messed up with the date of the meeting..."

"I'm sorry, your majesty!" Nitori shouted.

"Don't worry, Rin," said Misaki. "We can always go next year."

"Send my regards to your parents for me," said Rin.

"I will," Misaki nodded.

"Aww...I really want to go!" Gou shouted sadly. "I'm so sorry, Misaki!"

"It's alright, Gou," said Misaki as she tried to comfort the princess. "Besides, I have Haru here with me~"

Then, Rin stands in front of Haruka and glares at him seriously. "You're lucky I have work," said Rin. "So, I will let you go this time. Make sure you don't do anything to her. Understand?!"

"Hmph!" Haruka ignored and walks away from him. When Misaki told him that there is no relationship between them, Haruka felt relief and he began to rebel against Rin. "She is not yours anyway." He mumbled softly and Rin still can hear him.

"Oi!! How dare you ignore me?!! Come back here!" Rin shouted and Nitori quickly stops him.

"Onii-chan...," Gou sweated as she covers her face with her hands. Then, she gave Misaki a smile. "Have fun, Misaki."

"I will," said Misaki. "Let's go, Haru."

When Misaki was about to walk, she looked like she is about to fall. Haruka took two big bags from her causing her to look at him.

"They look heavy so I will carry it for you," said Haruka.

"Thank you!" Misaki thanked.

Rin, Gou and Nitori watched as they sent them off. It was a long journey because Misaki's home is actually far from the palace and it takes three hours to reach there. While they were walking, Haruka was feeling amazed to see the green scenery. Finally, they arrived.
