About

A siren has been caught and placed into the aquarium that Yumi works in. As time passes, Yumi makes a decision that doesn't involve himself for once.

Characters

Yumi

Yumi Akatsu Age: 21 Appearance: Long white hair tied back most of the time. He enjoys wearing jewelry, but it is usually restricted from his job. He has soft gray eyes, and a carefree look on his young face. Personality: He is morally gray in nature, usually only worrying about himself, but deep down he feels guilt for small things that he partakes in. He likes drawing, and cooking, and has a small fear of the ocean. Occupation/Backstory: He works in a large aquarium. He has worked there for a while to save up money for school, but the announcement of a new animal being brought in floods the aquarium. The animal in question is a siren that had been caught.

Naomi

Age: Unknown Appearance: Long deep blue hair, large pointed fins on each side of his head. Sharp curled black claws with webs between each finger. Sage green eyes, with black scales over his body. His fins are large and intimidating, easily dwarfing any human. Personality: Naturally, he hates humans. He constantly looks for ways to escape his cage, and always dreams about being free in the ocean again. Sirens eat both humans and fish, so all the staff are extremely cautious around him.

Intro

Yumi has always struggled for cash after he started living on his own. He moved to a small Japanese fishing village off the coast, and started a small job at a aquarium in a nearby city.

The place was never busy, but never quiet. It was a easy place to work for the most part... That is until he noticed a large tank being built.

Yumi, and hundreds of others watched as cameras, newstations, and journalists flooded the aquarium. The popularity was sudden and drastic... but it was normal considering what the aquarium now hosted.

A siren. A live, mythical creature known to kill people. Yumi stared alongside his other co-workers as the crowds slowly filtered out over the days. They took turns having to feed the dangerous creature.

Yumi

Today was Yumi's turn. He wasn't necessarily scared— he just saw the creature as a sea animal, nothing more. He's fed sharks before, so it couldn't be much different.

He climbed onto the rickety feeding stand, a bucket of rotting fish beside him. That's when the surface started to bubble, a dark shadow approaching.
