Chapter 3
"Pink/Red Pearl Voice!" Luchia and Mikan shouted together. They transformed into idols with cute dresses and microphones. "Pichi Pichi Voice Live Start!" They started singing Legend of Mermaid.
Nanairo no kaze ne fukarete
Tooi misaki o mezashitete
Yoake mae kikoeta melody
Sore wa totemo natsukashii uta
Higashi no sore hato
Habataku toriitachii
Saa takarajimani
Nukeru chikamichi
Nanatsu no umi no rakuen
Arashi no yoru no atoni wa
Ai wo tsutaerutame inochi ga
Mata umareru
Nanatsu no kuni no melodia
Daremo go itsuka wa kokowo
Tabidatsu hi ga kitemo
Watashi wa wasurenaii
"Hah. That was nothing. Only the power of two won't affect me," Maria taunted.
"Then how about the power of eight?" a voice said as six splashes were heard.
"Hanon! Rina! Caren! Noelle! Coco! Seira! Finally, you came. Transform and help us," Luchia exclaimed.
"Right!" the other girls said in unison, "Aqua/Green/Purple/Indigo/Yellow/Orange Pearl Voice!"
"Who are they?" the aqua one asked pointing to Mikan and the boys.
"Oh, this is Mikan, my cousin and heir to my throne, and her friends!" Luchia said happily.
"I consider myself as more than a friend," Natsume muttered.
"I'm Nogi Ruka and this is Hyuuga Natsume, my best friend. I have the alice of animal pheromones and Natsume has the alice of fire."
"I'm Hanon the Aqua Pearl Mermaid Princess of the South Atlantic."
Hanon's introduction seemed to be the cue for the others while Maria was waving around in the background wondering why they weren't taking her seriously.
"Rina, Green Pearl Princess of the North Atlantic."
"Caren, Purple Pearl Princess of the Antarctic Ocean and this is my twin sister…"
"…Noelle, Indigo Pearl Princess of the Arctic Ocean."
"Coco, Yellow Pearl Princess of the South Pacific."
"And I'm Seira, Orange Pearl Princess of the Indian Ocean!"
"Hey! Did you forget about me?!" Maria inquired angrily.
"Pichi Pichi Voice Live Start!" the girls exclaimed together. This time they sung Kodou. (No lyrics this time. I'm too lazy.) "How about an encore?"
Maria teleported away in a fit of fury and anguish.
"Gre-at jo…b…Sak...ur...a…"Ruka fainted from lack of air. Luchia went and grabbed him. The girls went back to mermaid form since the enemy was gone.
Natsume was still hanging on but barely. Mikan went and grabbed Natsume and started swimming up to the surface. Luchia followed her with Ruka. The other six mermaids came too. They broke the surface and went over to shore. Luchia put Ruka on the ground and tried to wake him up. Mikan helped Natsume climb up on the ground and take off his breathing device. Luchia took off Ruka's too.
"Hotaru! Come out!" Mikan shouted. Then she turned to the others. "Would by any chance, do you have some towels?"
Natsume sat up. He started making a fire. He made one around each of the mermaids to help them dry off. The girls all murmured thanks while Mikan went and kissed him. Hotaru came out from the trees and shot Mikan with a Baka Gun.
"Hotaruuu! What was that for?!" Mikan shouted in pain.
"Not telling me, baka", Hotaru said in usual tone as the mermaids finally changed back into human form since they were dry again. "You should go wake him up." She pointed to Ruka.
"Ruka. Wake up." Natsume said. Ruka didn't come to. "Yo, Melons, can't you do something about it?"
"Melo- NATSUME! When did you look?!" Mikan yelled in fury at him.
"What are they talking about?" Hanon asked.
"He looks at her panties and calls her the pattern on them," Hotaru replied, "This picture will sell well." She looked at her picture of Mikan's outraged expression.
"What's…what's going on?" Ruka said as he sat up. His bunny hopped over to him happily. Ruka petted the bunny and looked around at the eight girls and Natsume. "It… wasn't a dream! You are mermaids! Ah, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Since when am I a mermaid?" Natsume teased. His personality changed to be a little happier since he was with Mikan a lot. "I'm going back to my room, I'm tired. Come on Ruka."
They went to their rooms and Hotaru went off to hers too. Mikan turned to the seven girls.
