Toilet-bound Hanako-kun: Reversed Roles

Apparition Two: The Mermaid and The Wish

"Yup! You've successfully transformed into a fish, Yugi-kun! And got yourself cursed."--Hanako said as she held up the aquarium in front of a wall mirror

"WHAT?!!!"--Amane scream in terror

~~~~~~

"You're.. You're kidding, right?!"--Amane said as he inspect his appearance

Pale scales.. Light-brown fins and tail.. Is that a black choker with a Moon pendant?! The pen he is always carrying around turned into a choker?!

"I'm... I'm.. really a fish.."--Amane thought to himself.

"I told you not to swallow the scale. Every action has a reaction you know. And, you need to listen to people sometimes."--Hanako said as she place the aquarium on a table near the bathroom window.

"I'm so sorry.."--Amane said in a squeaky voice

"Apology accepted."--Hanako said as she lean over and put her chin on the back of her hand

"W-What will happen to me now?"--Amane

"Well, as I've told you earlier, you will be cursed under the Mermaid's Curse. Fish are the mermaid's servants. But it's a good thing that you didn't swallow the other scale. Because if you did, then you'll have a zero chance of turning back into a human."--Hanako said as she toyed a strand of her hair

"Wait.. I can turn back into a human?!"--Amane said

"Yes, you can. Though,there's a high chance that you'll turn back into a human with side effects."--Hanako said

"What kind of side effects?"--Amane

"You'll have gills or fins or scales.. It's like becoming a human-fish hybrid and you tell me that isn't cool."--Hanako said with a giggle

"IT IS NOT COOL! I can't live as a human with gills or fins or scales! I'll be ridiculed and laughed at."--Amane

"Woah, calm down. At least you're still human. Besides, you can breathe longer underwater and swim deeper in bodies of water using those gills or fins. You can find new species of underwater life that the rest of the world cant discover. You'll be famous! I call that lucky."--Hanako said

"I..I don't want to be famous.. If I did, everyone's eyes will always be on my back. Everyone will fake their smiles and offer their lies. My every move will be watched and once I commit a mistake, I'll be judged and shamed for the rest of my life. I'll be immortalized in the knowledge of people as a shameful fool. A good for nothing. So.. I don't want to be famous. I just want a normal life."--Amane said

Hanako is rendered speechless. She felt sadness, fear, anxiety and doubt in Amane's statement. She wondered what happened to Amane that made him think like that.

"Hey, Hanako-san.. I think I do have a wish I want to be granted.."--Amane said

"Eh? S-Sure. Just say the word."--Hanako said snapping out of her daze

Suddenly, the room start to shake and the surroundings start to become dim. A shrill laugh echoed throughout the room that made Hanako stand. Her brows furrowed and her lips turned into a frown.

"Well, well, well.. What do we have here?"--a voice boom out as the room continued shaking

"W-What is that?!"--Amane said

"Humans are really foolish creatures! Hahaha! But, be glad human boy! From this day forward, you shall serve me!"--the voice shout in mocking glee

The floor begin to crack and crack until bursts of water surge from it making a huge hole. The bursts of water gathered and began to take form of the shrill voice's owner.
