Wow. 2 whole months of not having to update this one…I just recovered from my very first writers' block. *does happy dance*
How'd I recover? Long story. It was when…
Sasuke: Do you have to make a flashback?
Ami: Do you have to interrupt me?
Sasuke: Touché
Ami: So, it was when…
//Flashback//
"LOL! These Naruto Abridged Series are so funny!" Ami said, wiping a tear on her eye.
"Really?" Her sis, who just likes to annoy her older sister said. "I don't think it is.
Well, you could say that she doesn't like to agree with her sister too.
"Hmph!" Ami turned back to watching the series. "I don't care. It is to me!"
'When will we have enough screen time? We've only been in like 3 episodes!' (Ino)
'But they're currently on the Zabuza series.' (Shika)
'At least we have more screen time than TenTen' (Ino)
'TenTen has screen time?' (Chouji)
After that, Ami thought of making a chappie.
//End of flashback//
Sasuke: How you recovered from that writer's block sucked. It had no connection whatsoever to the story.
Ami: You could say that again. But hey, at least I updated!
Sasuke: *sigh* which means no more day-off for us.
Anyways, I'd like to dedicate this chappie to machi-tan and kngurlz for being my most supportive authors (other than NFN Girl) in reading my stories. You guys rock! ^.^
Behind the scenes…
WHY?!
Tsunade and Inoichi were sitting two comfy chairs, having a conversation before going out the stage and make the best out of acting.
Tsunade: This story suck. (A/N: Those were my actual words describing this fanfic)
(Me from the other side: HEY!)
Inoichi: Why's that? The author's awfully nice. And she treats us well too.
Tsunade: Maybe you. But me…I. HATE. HER.
(Me from the other side: WTF?! I'M SO GOING TO FIRE YOU! *clenches fist and fireballs in eyes*)
Inoichi: But why?
Tsunade: Before I answer that, can I have a request?
Inoichi: Anything for the sea witch of the west.
Tsunade: *vein popping on the side of the forehead* STOP CALLING ME THAT AND STOP RAISING 'WHY' QUESTIONS!
Inoichi: Why? CanI use 'the east' instead?
Tsunade: I told you not to say 'why'!
Inoichi: You're saying 'why' so that means I can say 'why' too. So why?
Tsunade: I TOLD YOU NOT TO SAY 'WHY'! STOP SAYING 'WHY'! (Ami's A/N: Man does Tsunade hate 'why's. Tsunade: HEY! STOP SAYING!)
Inoichi: But you're—
Tsunade: Forget that I said that stupid ** and just stop saying **!
Inoichi: o.O Tsunade's a b----------------------------------a----------------------------d ------------------------------------
Ten minutes later…
Inoichi: d-------------------------------------------- (Ami's A/N: FYI, the 'D' is from the 'bad')
Tsunade: How long do you think you want it to be?
Inoichi: No. I'm done.
Tsunade: Good.
DISCLAIMER: (Ami's note: I haven't done that in months…) I do not own Naruto. Or the story little mermaid.
Chapter 3: Can't speak
Shino and Chouji reached the shore, with an unconscious Ino.
"What was she thinking?" Shino exclaimed. If she couldn't pull this out, she might be stuck being that old hag's servant!" (Tsunade: Okay…I think I like "the sea witch of the west" better)
Chouji was sweating bullets. "Um…"
"You know something, don't you?" The crab said, eyeing him suspiciously.
"I—I don't—"
"CHOUJI!"
"SHE WANTS TO BE HUMAN TO BE WITH THAT PERSON!" he said all too quickly.
"What person?"
Chouji gulped. He was in for it. Big time.
"I…she…she likes the…the prince…" He stammered. Ino was so going to kill him now. (Ami: Mmm…Fillet…)
Shino's eyes widened. "WHICH PRINCE?!" (Ami: If you could imagine Shino without his glasses and wide-eyed, then good for you!)
"The um…Uchiha…"
"UCHIHA?!" Shino said, almost shouting. "WHAT IS SHE THINKING?!"
"I…I don't know…"
"That's what you have to find out." Shino ordered. "We don't want another 'incident' like that to happen ever again. If King Inoichi finds out…"
Chouji sighed. "I know. Another war between the humans and mermaids will occur."
"So please…" The crab begged. "…make her come back."
"I…I'll try to do the best I can."
Shino then turned to leave. "Good. Because I need to leave now. King Inoichi might come and go looking for me. And her."
"Hai."
With that, the little crab trotted back to the sea. (Ami: TROTT, SHINO, TROTT! YOU CAN DO IT!)
A few minutes after…
The blonde beauty woke up, rubbing her aquamarine gems awake.
"Shino went back. And he told me to take care of you." Choiji replied.
She looked around, not really sure where she was. All she remembered was being spun into a vortex of bubbles before she passed out.
She tried to speak in panic only to not. 'Oh yeah. I forgot'. Tsunade-san has my voice. (Tsunade: Yeah baby! That's more like it! Ami: The only reason why she said that is because she doesn't know you're evil! Tsunade: Grrrrr…)
She then checked to see her legs. She was so excited to walk that she stumbled back on the sand. 'I guess I still have to get used to this…'
"Uh…Ino-san…?" The small fish asked, really concerned about the girl.
She instantly turned and nodded, signaling him that she was ready to listen.
"Are you sure about this?"
Ino giddily stood up and jumped around and around, her hand close to her chest.
"Oh."
*bark bark*
Both of them turned t look at the direction of the sound only to see a dog running to Ino.
The blonde crouched down, with the dog pouncing at her.
She laughed (with no sound of course) as she played with the dog.
"Akamaru! There you are!" A voice said, getting nearer.
Ino looked up to see who it is…
…Only to have aquamarine gems meet onyx.
Ino's heart pounded. Sasuke…
"Have we met before?" a smile on his face as he remembered that beautiful voice of his mermaid.
…
Finally…the storm ceased and Ino and the Sasuke arrived in shore.
She laid him down on the soft, white sand and tried to wake him up.
He didn't. So, she sang him a song.
Before she could even finish, the prince woke up. He Sat up and stared at the mermaid's blue eyes.
Wh—who are you actually?!...He asked.
Just…just remember me as a friend… That was all she said. She was about to turn around to leave when Sasuke caught her wrist. Promise me we'll meet again?
Promise! She smiled as she went and dived into the waters again.
…
Ino desperately tried to speak But really couldn't.
'I guess she isn't her after all…' He thought as he tried to make a conversation. "Where are you from?"
The blonde beauty just shook her head.
"You mean you're leaving out here alone?"
She nodded.
"Oh well…" The prince said and stood up, stretching his right arm for her to reach in doing so. "…I guess you could live with us…" 'Focus, Sasuke. Your heart only belongs to one girl and it's not her.'
Ino gave a huge smile before pouncing on the Uchiha heir and held him tight.
"I guess that's how you say thanks…" he said, not really comfortable with what's happening.
She nodded and held him tighter.
"C'mon, Akamaru. Let's go back to the castle and prepare a room for this lovely lady." Sasuke said as he carried the blond beauty bridal style to the castle.
