==Chapter 1: Scout ==
I sat on the western beach, watching the sunset and fingering the pearl on my necklace. I was brooding, as usual. Today, it was about my bloodline. Not my mortal bloodline. My kami one. I stared at the symbol of Mizu that was engraved on the pearl. If my mother is Mizu, then Tengoku and Konton are my grandparents, and Chikyuu, Kasai, and Kuuki  are my aunt and uncles. Kouri and Shizen are my half siblings then, and so are...  I froze. The back of my neck had started to prickle. Suddenly, a yokai lunged out of the water, aiming for my throat. It was a shadowy, dark gray, figure, like a dragon made from smoke. I barely flinched. But then, I was used to the attacks by now. A tendril of water shot from the tide and wrapped around the yokai's neck. The yokai thrashed and gurgled, clawing at its throat. With a final wheeze, it fell limp and disintegrated into ash.  
I sighed and returned to brooding. ...and so are Raitoningu and Sandaa. Jikan is my great-uncle, as he's Konton's brother. Shi, Taiyou, and Tsuki would be my half-aunt and uncles, I think. Whenever I brooded, any water near me began jumping and skipping and making all sorts of shapes. Now it was forming spinning seahorses. I that case, Dakuu and Hikaru... I froze again. But it wasn't a yokai. I was sure of that. The water began to ripple.
Suddenly, a maroon SkyWing shot out of the sea. No, not  SkyWing. A SeaWing. A dark red tabby SeaWing, with white horns and sandy undersides. I sprang back, hissing, my spine arched. The burgundy SeaWing bristled.
"I am Kasaisuke ," she said tensely. " I'm here to take you to Gin Chi Sanctuary . "
No, they've found me out, they're here for me, it's over, Father warned me, said I should just go, I couldn't leave him, they're here, they're here NOW! ​​​​​​ A thought struck me. I relaxed slightly and gave the red SeaWing, Kasaisuke, a small smile.
"Oh," I said in a friendly and mildly interested voice. "Sorry. Startled me is all." 
Kasaisuke narrowed her eyes at me.
"You heard me, didn't you?"
" About that camp? " I asked breezily. "Oh yeah. But could I really be a demikami?"
"Of course. "
I laughed. "I wish. But I'm not. Nothing I can do about it."
She eyed me. "You are, and you know it."
I tensed. She wasn't buying it. "I do?"
"Look," she hissed. " I never blackmail, but you have to come with me, for your own good. You have to come, or... or... or I'll tell everyone about you being a demikami! "
I inhaled sharply. "One hour. Give me one hour to  gather my things and return."
" I'll wait here. "
I slid into the water and swerved towards the village. Once in my house, I gathered all my transportable belongings and stuffed them into a large, sandy-colored leather bag with a pink and peach shell button. I also tucked my seahorse, Bubbles, inside. I dug through my desk for a scrap of seaweed paper and a blue pen. I began to scribble on the paper.Gone to Camp. Be back some day. Sorry. Will miss you. I pinned the note to my door and headed of to meet Kasaisuke.
==Chapter 2: Camp==
I stood in the doorway of the House of Mizu. It was a washitsu-type place, with sliding doors and paper screens. The house was two stories, with many adjoining rooms. The main area's floor was covered in pelts, with shelves that held scrolls, board games, and knick-knacks.  A tokonoma stood in the center. About ten dragonets were inside, wrestling or reading or napping or whatever.
I popped a bubble and cracked my gum. "So...." I said akwardly.
A male RainWing/SeaWing hybrid stepped forward.
"I'm  Fukahire, " he smiled pleasantly. "The Mizu Head of House."  He held out his talon.
I shook it akwardly.
"As there is an odd number of dragonets here now, you can have an empty room ," he smiled.
" Thanks, " I responded wryly. I headed upstairs and into an empty room. I then began to set it up my way. 
"What do I do now?" I asked.
Fukahire checked the clock. " Well, we have history in ten minutes. Until then, anything you want. "
"Thanks," I responded. I packed my art kit and headed for the beach.
==Chapter 3: Lilysinger==
I 'd been at camp for a month and was getting used to the daily routine. I found I actually liked it there. It was like a second home to me. I still missed my father though. But I did love it at camp. The food was good too.
