SonicShaymin2: Today, I have taken the time to invite the powerful Son Goku to the… Place that we are currently in!
Goku: Hey guys!
Naruto: Okay… So first it was pirates… And now it's some martial artists…?
SonicShaymin2: That is half correct… Zoro is pinned to that wall over there.
Zoro: *Mouths* Help me…!
Sasuke: And I thought that my fan-club was crazy…
Melody: I'm not crazy! YOU'RE CRAZY!

Zoro: And can SOMEBODY please HELP ME!
Thanks to my reviewers:
OathKeeper16 – I don't mind Naruto. He's just so fun to mess with though. And yes, Sasuke is acting… STRANGE! Thanks for the review!
OathKeeper16 – I think I might've made the Sasuke and Melody talk a bit cheesy… But it did turn out alright… I just hope I can make more moments like that in this story… And yeah, he is talking about Melody and crying… It will all make sense soon… As in… Chunin Exams soon.
OathKeeper16 – A Saiyan maybe? I LOVED typing the prank war down! I also liked the walk with Sasuke and Melody too! I couldn't think of a random thing for Naruto to do, so I just thought that I would make him dance! I'm not sure how to actually put some protective scenes in the battles yet… I usually think about it over night… Sasuke might turn into a super Saiyan if she gets hurt!
Thanks for the review!
MorgannePhaedras – I LOVE hearing people's predictions! Thanks for sending in one! I know what you're saying about the translator! This story has its head up its own behind right now, but that's beside the point… I will try to keep this as hilarious as possible! Thanks for the review!
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do…

WE ARE NOW IN THE DOUBLE DIGITS OF REVIEWS! LET'S SEE HOW MANY WE CAN GET ON THIS CHAPTER ALONE…!
Is This For Real?
Opening:
C'mon!
Running like a fugitive,
Being chased by something…
Inside my heart is pounding…
My throat is dry like it's withering.
For no single one,
To none does belong,
The time is ours, Right now…
Unraveling the pain,
Unraveling our hearts,
Unraveling shadows.
Stifling our breath,
Reaching for beyond,
Tearing through the dark.
In fighting and in love…
To the distant light above,
Yes, we are on the way!
I wanna rock…
Rockin' my heart…
Melody's POV:
"The mist…" Kakashi mumbled to himself. "Alright you three, get ready for this…!" He ordered as Sasuke and Sakura drew out their kunai knives. "I knew he was still alive… He just couldn't wait for round two…!"
"Kakashi Sensei, Melody, this is Zabuza's hidden Mist Jutsu, right…?" Sakura asked. I nodded.
"That's right…" I answered. "This is definitely Zabuza's technique – no doubt about it!"
"Sorry we kept you waiting, Kakashi…" Came a familiar voice. "I see you've still got those brats with you… That one's still trembling… Pitiful…" He said, referring to Sasuke.
The others' eyes widened as they all noticed the water clones of Zabuza surrounding all of us. I turned my head to face Sasuke, who was now grinning.
"I'm trembling with… Excitement…!" He corrected Zabuza. I smiled. Zabuza's eyes narrowed.
"He's all yours Sasuke!" Kakashi said with a smile as he turned to face the Uchiha.
One of the Zabuza clones swung his blade at the Uchiha, but Sasuke quickly dodged and jumped up in the air, slashing the water clones in half. Sasuke then landed perfectly on the ground without a scratch on him and all of the water clones splashed back into their water form. Sasuke should be a ballerina when he grows up!
"Ooh… So you could see that they were water clones, huh?" Zabuza asked as he and Haku showed themselves. Well, to be fair, it was pretty obvious. "The brat's improving… Looks like you've got a rival, Haku…"
"So it would seem." Haku replied as we had a staring contest with the two. Damn it, I blinked! Oh well. I clenched onto my kunai tighter as I sent a strong glare over to Zabuza. This just got real…
-Line Break-
We continued our staring contest until Kakashi broke the awkward silence.
"Well, well, well… So I had it right… It was all an act…" He said.
"An act?" Tazuna exclaimed. I rolled my eyes.
"…With a cute little mask…" Kakashi finished. Sakura's mouth dropped and I did the exact same. You've got to be kidding me! Cute? Well… Maybe a little… Um… You heard nothing!
"You're a big phony…" Sasuke stated. "Heh!"
"So I guess all of that about being a tracker ninja protecting his village was just a load of bull!" Tazuna said.
"They look pretty chummy to me…" Kakashi announced. "I'd say that they have been pulling scams like that for a long time…"
"He's got some nerve facing us again after that trick…!" Sakura growled angrily.
"And hiding behind that mask… Who does he think he's fooling?" Kakashi asked. I snickered. Says him… We never see his face…!
Sakura coughed. "Speak for yourself, sensei…" She said to him. I nodded in agreement.
"That's it…" Sasuke began. Sakura gasped. "I'm taking him out…! Who does he think he's fooling…? Hiding behind that mask like some sort of clown…"
Sakura smiled. "Sasuke, you're so cool!" She said. I held in a laugh as Kakashi's ego shattered.
"Let me guess… You're thinking how unfair it is that you already said that and that you got what seemed to be an insult, while Sasuke got another compliment…" I tapped his back. "The world's an unfair place Kakashi Sensei…" I turned to Sasuke.
"You're going to let me help right?"
Sasuke turned to me with unreadable emotions in his eyes.
"No." He said sternly.
"Sasuke, you don't know this guy!" I hissed. "You don't know what his moves are, his Jutsu-"
"Melody!" Sasuke interrupted. "Just let me handle this for now…! Don't interfere unless you really need to!"
I was taken aback by this. "Sasuke-!" I stopped myself and sighed. "Fine…" I gave up with a frown.
Sasuke probably thinks that he can defeat Haku all by himself, but… The only question is…
Why is Sasuke so concerned for me?
I overheard Zabuza and Haku mumbling things to each-other.
"He's impressive." Haku said to Zabuza, who huffed. "Even though they were just one tenth of the original strength of the Water Clone Jutsu, he did destroy them all…" The young boy reasoned.
"That move still gave us the first advantage. Now use it!" Zabuza replied.
"Right." Haku answered, and he spun around so fast that it created a tornado around him while he was speeding towards Sasuke.
"What's this?" Sasuke asked as he took a step back and the spinning Haku continued to race his way towards the Uchiha. Sasuke smirked and held out two kunai in front of him.
I just hope things don't go wrong… And I hope my being here doesn't affect Naruto and Inari either…
Episode thirteen:
Haku's Secret Jutsu! Crystal Ice Mirrors!
The two Shinobi clashed banging their weapons with one another. Sasuke with his kunai knife and Haku with one of his needles. Sasuke and Haku tried to push the other's weapon away with their own with all of their force.
Kakashi held out an arm beside him and looked at me and Sakura.
"Sakura, Melody! I want you two to guard Tazuna and stay close to me at all times!" He ordered us.
"Right!" Sakura replied and then jumped in front of Tazuna with I kunai knife clenched tightly in her fist. I turned to Kakashi, feeling the need to argue, but instead I moved to the side of Tazuna with a kunai in each hand.
Sasuke and Haku finally jumped away from each-other, (which only took them a bazillion years) and then they rushed towards each-other once again and they both spun around one another and their weapons clashed with each-other once again with incredible force. Then Haku spoke up.
"We want the bridge builder, not you." He said to the raven-haired Uchiha. "If you want to back down, I won't have to kill you."
"Save it!" Sasuke said with a grin across his face.
"You're making a mistake." Haku reasoned. "You won't be able to keep up with my speed. I've gained two key advantages."
"Yeah?" Sasuke asked. "What are they?"
"First, we're surrounded by water." Haku answered. "Second, I've blocked one of your hands. Therefore, you only have one free hand to defend yourself…" Haku said as he made a hand sign with only one of his hands. Is this a math's lesson, or a battle? Sasuke's eyes widened as he noticed Haku's trick.
Haku began to make some fast movements with his hand, also making Kakashi's eyes widen. I know what he's planning…
Haku finished making his hand signs and held his hand out in front of him. "Secret Jutsu… A Thousand Needles of Death!" Haku announced and stomped one of his feet onto the ground, which made some of the surrounding water splash up above them.
"Sasuke!" Sakura screamed. I smiled.
"He can handle it…" I said with a shrug of my shoulders.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked. I turned to her.
"We didn't just climb those trees for nothing!" I said with a smile. "Sasuke just needs to do a little Chakra trick." I looked back at the fight.
The water that splashed up transformed into needles that pointed down at Sasuke. Sasuke continued blocking Haku's needle with one hand and with the other he made the same hand sign that we all made earlier to concentrate our Chakra when we were climbing trees. The needles then sped their way towards him.
Before the needles shot down at them, Haku quickly jumped out of the way and the needles splashed down where Sasuke was standing. I looked up at the sky to see Sasuke up there, who had jumped out of there in the nick of time. I smirked. Haku glanced at where the needles had splashed back into water and gasped.
"He vanished…!" He gasped in surprise. He then looked up at Sasuke who threw three shuriken towards him, but Haku easily dodged them, backing away. Sasuke appeared right behind him with a smirk still attached to his face.
"You're not as fast as you think! From this point on… You'll be the one defending against my attacks!" He announced as he drew his kunai again. Haku quickly moved away and Sasuke also moved to the opposite direction. He then charged towards Haku and they banged their arms against each-other. Sasuke then flicked his kunai at Haku, but it was dodged and sent up in the sky.
Once Haku crouched down, Sasuke kicked him in the gut, sending him flying away. Haku landed with a thud in front of Zabuza. Zabuza stared down at Haku in shock. He then looked up at Sasuke.
"Thought that you were quicker, huh?" Sasuke said. "Now what else are you wrong about?"
"You made a big mistake insulting these ninja and calling them brats!" Kakashi said to Zabuza."That's just guaranteed to bring out Sasuke's attitude! He's the best young fighter of the Hidden Leaf Village. Sakura is our sharpest mind too!" Sakura then poked her tongue out with a giggle. "Melody here is the most unpredictable…!"
I'm going to be nice and take that as a compliment…
"And last, but not least… Our number one hyperactive ninja is Naruto Uzumaki!" Kakashi announced.
I'll show Naruto full name later… Honestly, I don't know if Naruto should be proud or offended… He's going to sneeze soon for sure! Anyway, speaking about that guy… I wonder how he is going… I hope that I haven't changed the fabric of time and space or anything… Nah! That kind of stuff only happens in the movies… Heh. Heh. Heh… Oh wait… Crap!
-Line break-
We stared at Zabuza and Haku in silence until Zabuza began his fit of chuckles. Everyone else looked at him in confusion like, 'what the hell?'.
"Hm… Haku, if we keep going like this we'll be the victims instead of them. Get on with it!"Zabuza ordered as Haku stood back up on his feet.
"Right." Haku answered, and then out of the blue, blue chakra flowed around Haku's entire body. My eyes widened. Crystal Ice Mirrors…!
"What's that?" Sasuke asked Haku. Haku remained silent for a while, but soon spoke up.
"I'm sorry that it's come to this…" He said, ignoring Sasuke's question.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed. "The air… Is cold…?" He asked himself in disbelief. He then cocked his head to the side.
Haku made clapped his hands together with his fingers crossed, forming a hand sign.
"Sasuke !" I screamed as I ran towards the Uchiha.
"Melody, come back here!" Kakashi yelled at me with worry. But I ignored his order and I kept on running. Sasuke turned his head around to face me.
"Melody! Get the hell back!" He screamed, but once again, I ignored the orders that my teammates yelled at me and kept on running.
"Get out of there, Sasuke!" I screamed. But I was too late and the Crystal Ice Mirrors were already beginning to form. Sasuke's eyes widened as he noticed all of the mirrors made out of ice surrounding him.
I continued to run and I was planning on pushing Sasuke out of there, but the water surrounding me caused my feet to keep on moving. I couldn't stop until I was in the circle.
"Sasuke, we have to get the cheese cakes out of here!" I advised Sasuke. He opened his mouth to say something, but I quickly spoke again. "I don't have time to explain, we just have to get out of here and-"
I was going to finish my epic heroic sentence, but then I realized that the Crystal Ice Mirrors had finished forming. Sasuke and I looked around at the mirrors.
"Crap in a bucket…" I muttered under my breath. I turned to Sasuke. "Now… At this point, a jerk might say, 'I told you so'…" I waited a couple of seconds. "I told you so!" I yelled as I pointed a finger at Sasuke, who looked like he wanted to rip me apart limb from limb.
"Did you know?" Sasuke asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Yeah? So? I'm not stupid!" I answered. "Like a certain Uchiha I know…" I muttered under my breath.
Sasuke glared at me, but continued. "…And you couldn't have said anything sooner because…?"
"You were the one who kept on screaming out. 'get back! Don't interfere!'." I said, waving my hands on either side of my head.
"…"
I smiled. I win. He loses. Ta ta. See you later…
"Are you saying that you're better than me?" Sasuke asked with his arms folded in front of his chest.
"Well, if I recall I didn't get my entire body – minus my head – stuck in the ground!" I retorted.
Sasuke groaned and then he pouted. Only one thing to make this better.
"Isn't that right…? Duck Butt…?" I asked.
Sasuke growled angrily at my smart remark.
"Crystal Ice Mirrors!" Haku called out.
"Oh... Right… Somehow, I completely forgot about that…" I said as I scratched my cheek.
Haku was walking towards the mirror; until I called out, "Wait!"
Haku stopped and looked at me.
"Do you have any cheeto's?" I asked.
Sasuke's mouth dropped. "Are you serious?" He screamed.
I turned to him. "Yes. How else am I supposed to beat the ever loving crap out of him if I don't have any energy?"
Sasuke groaned, annoyed.
"Asuke ixne on the rap clay…!" I hissed.
"What?" Sasuke asked, confused.
I sighed.
"If you're trying to do Pig Latin, then that's not really good…" Sasuke said, shaking his head.
"I try!" I screamed.
"So, is this guy supposed to walk into the mirror?" Sasuke asked me as he pointed over in Haku's direction. I looked over. I slouched over. My plan failed… I was trying to distract him so then I could land a punch on him… Oh well… Just as long as no one gets seriously hurt or dies then everything should be fine…
I noticed that Kakashi was trying to run to us, but the party pooper Zabuza got in his way.
"If you enter this fight…" I heard Zabuza say. "You fight me! Those two students of yours don't stand a chance in hell against that Jutsu. They're both finished!"
I looked back at all of the Crystal Ice Mirrors with a frown. Well that didn't change. It's going to be freaking annoying trying to defeat this guy. But we've got to do it anyway…
"Now…" Haku spoke up. "We'll all begin. And I'll show both of you what speed really means…" Oh so you're going to take us to Sonic the Hedgehog's house then? Ba doom… Ting! Um… Back to reality!
Haku prepared his needles. And was about to throw them, but I was prepared.
"Watch out for needles…" I said as I looked at my nails in boredom.
"Wha-"
Whoosh! Sasuke's sleeve was torn up while I merely stepped to the side.
Man! Look at these nails of mine! I need a manicure! As in… Real bad!
Another needle came in from behind Sasuke and ripped his other sleeve. I just stepped to the side to dodge.
Maybe I'll book in for a pedicure too… Nah! I don't need people looking at my feet! They would be invading my P-biz…
"God damn it, Melody! Stop looking at your fingers and help me!" Sasuke yelled at me as he was repeatedly getting struck by the needles.
"I'm not just looking at my fingers!" I yelled back at him. "I'm dodging too!" Well… Actually, I'm dodging while Sasuke is getting owned.
The needles eventually knocked Sasuke's kunai out of his hand, sending it flying somewhere else.
"Sasuke!" I heard Sakura scream.
I sighed. "Fine…" I said as I ran over in front of him and began to deflect the needles with my kunai knife.
Come on Naruto… I can't protect this guy all day… Hey, I'm getting pretty good at this… Maybe I should open my own dojo… It will be called… Um… Okay so I haven't thought of a name yet, the idea of a dojo is a good idea already so you can't really blame me… Much…
I turned around and noticed that Sakura was running towards us with a kunai knife in her hand. If I were a fangirl –which I'm not – I would've kept that kunai… After all, it was Sasuke's… That means that Naruto should be here soon… Which means that it's nearly the end of the episode… Which means that I have just broken the fourth wall… Which means that I am a terrible person… Tee hee!
Sakura jumped in the air – more like five feet – and threw the kunai towards the dome.
"Take this!" She yelled out.
When the kunai was coming towards us, Haku's arm reached out of the Ice Mirror and easily caught it. The rain of needles stopped for a moment and Sasuke fell down on his knees panting for air. I glared at Haku who simply spun the kunai knife around in his hand.
Once Sakura landed, she gasped once she looked at what Haku held in his hand. "He caught it!" She said in disbelief.
I smiled with a light chuckle escaping my mouth.
"Hey Haku!" I said getting his attention. "What has two thumbs and is about to be hit by a shuriken?" I called out when a shuriken came rushing towards Haku from behind. When it hit him, it knocked him out of the Crystal Ice Mirror and he landed with a loud thud on the ground.
"The answer is you…" I replied with my arms folded. I felt so epic. I just wish it was all on camera… Wait… It is!
With my all new… Wait this is not the time! I have already done this enough. Seriously serious face mode activate!
Haku made it to his knees and sat up, grunting in slight pain. My smile grew.
A large puff of smoke appeared out of nowhere and we all stared at it.
"Who is it?" Sakura asked. Inspector Gadget!
Haku made it to his feet as he said to himself, "Number one hyperactive knucklehead ninja…"
The puff of smoke soon faded away, revealing the blonde idiot.
"Naruto Uzumaki… Is here…! Yeah! Believe it!" He said with a cocky grin across his face.
I shook my head with the smile still glued onto my face. "Naruto, son of a gun… I knew you'd come…"
Seriously! Someone get a camera and write that line down!
-Double line break-
Episode Fourteen:
The Number One Hyperactivate, Knucklehead Ninja Joins the Fight!
We continued to stare at Naruto for a while and waited for him to finally say something stupid.
"Ha! Now that I'm here everything will be alright!" He boasted with pride.
Tazuna gasped while Sakura smiled with joy. "Naruto!" She squealed happily.
"You know how in stories the hero usually shows up at the last minute and then kicks butt…?" Naruto asked and then he pointed a finger at Zabuza. "…Well that's what I'm going to do right now!"
Zabuza looked at Naruto from the corner of his eye and then he let a groan escape his mouth. "This brat again…"
I looked down at Sasuke who was giving Naruto a strange look. I bit my lip to hold in my laughter. He should win the 'best face of the year' award! Because that face is totally priceless! I looked at Kakashi who was also giving Naruto a look. Naruto surely knows how to fail!
Haku stared at Naruto for a while. Haku must be mad about Naruto forgetting their one day anniversary.
"All… Right! You're history!" Naruto announced and then he made a hand sign. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Zabuza's eyes widened along with Kakashi's.
Zabuza quickly threw some shuriken towards Naruto's direction while Kakashi called out, "No!"
Naruto released his hand sign as his eyes widened in shock.
"Naruto, move!" Kakashi yelled out at the blonde, but Naruto continued to stare at the shuriken speeding towards him. However, Haku quickly threw some of his throwing needles at the spinning shuriken, stopping them from getting close to Naruto. Everyone else's eyes widened with surprise at this sudden act. And the shuriken and needles soon fell to the ground. Naruto looked up at Haku.
"He didn't get him…!" Sakura gasped with relief in her voice.
"The weapons cancelled each other out – amazing!" Tazuna exclaimed. "Now that's what I call lucky, I think…"
"What are you doing Naruto, are you crazy?" Sakura screamed.
"This is a battle, not a talent show! Don't let your opponent see your Jutsu!" Kakashi scolded. Naruto gasped, realizing his mistake that he had just made. If I was a judge of a talent show, Sasuke would be sucking right about now… "The Shinobi's art is deception. Always keep the enemy guessing. Even was executing a single Jutsu, one must distract their opponent's attention. Catch them off balance, and outmaneuver them! You just turn yourself into a human target if you enter a battle like that!"
Naruto's eyes widened as he held his head from both sides and let out a loud scream. "Argh! I'm sorry! I was just trying to rescue everybody!" He yelled. By everybody, he means Sasuke. I was doing fine on my own.
"But…" Kakashi began as he glanced over at Haku. "There's another mystery here…"
Zabuza narrowed his eyes at Haku. "Haku… What are you doing?"
"Zabuza…" Haku began. "This boy… Let me fight him my own way… Please?"
Naruto stepped forward. "Bring. It. On!" Naruto yelled at Haku's statement.
Zabuza huffed as he looked at Haku from the corner of his eye. "So, you want me to leave this to you…? Is that it Haku?"
No reply…
"As usual, you're too soft." Zabuza continued.
Haku looked down at his feet. "Forgive me…"
Sasuke looked up at Haku in confusion and then looked at all of the scratches that he had earned, and then back up at Haku. Sasuke's eyes narrowed with anger. Jealously is an ugly thing, Sasuke…
"I'm warning you…!" Naruto yelled at Haku and then pointed a finger at him. "One way or another, I'm going to rip off that mask and take you down!"
Kakashi's eyes narrowed and I could tell that he wanted to step in, but Zabuza quickly moved in front of him.
"Don't even think about it…!" Zabuza hissed. "You know the score, Kakashi. If you go after Haku, I go after the bridge builder." Kakashi's eyes widened, and then narrowed again. He looked back at Tazuna and Sakura from the corner of his eye.
"Relax Kakashi…" Zabuza said, making Kakashi look back at him. "Sit back and enjoy the show. Let' see how they do one on one…"
"That mask… And that bogus story! You were with Zabuza all along!" Naruto yelled. Gee… What was your first clue, Sherlock? "Do you think that you can get away with a stunt like that?"
"…I'm sorry…" Haku apologized, taking Naruto aback. "But as your sensei said… Deceiving your opponent, catching them off guard… That is the art of the Shinobi… Please don't take it personally…"
Sasuke grabbed a kunai knife out of his ninja tools' pocket and threw it straight at Haku, who easily moved his head back to dodge the attack. See Sasuke? Dodging is not that hard! Sasuke's eyes widened. Naruto gasped and looked at Sasuke.
"Sasuke?" He asked with confusion. "Melody? What is going on?" He yelled. But I knew that we wouldn't have the time to explain everything to him yet…
"I haven't forgotten about you…" Haku said. "Not for an instant." He then looked at us. "Some warriors accept defeat gracefully… They know when they are beaten. Others do not! So be it…! Let us finish our battle… To the death!" He finished as he began to walk towards us. About what Haku saying stuff about some warriors accept defeat and all of that… Well, unlike Sasuke, some warriors also know when to dodge as well!
"Wha- Hey where are you going?" Naruto yelled. Before Haku walked into the mirror he said, "It's alright, Naruto. We'll have our fight next!" He then walked into the mirror again, making Naruto growl with anger. Sasuke's eyes narrowed along with mine. I clenched my kunai tightly, preparing for what was about to happen next. Sasuke looked around at the mirrors with a scowl on his face. Sasuke was reaching for another weapon when we heard Haku say,
"I'm behind you…"
Sasuke's eyes widened and looked back up the mirror where Haku was before. He looked behind him to face Haku. I did the same. And suddenly, all of the mirrors had Haku appearing in them too with needles in between his fingers.
The rain of needles was back and I quickly yelled out, "Sasuke, get ready!" And before I could do anything else, the needles were ripping our clothes apart and blood was gushing out of our skin when the sharp needles scraped us. Okay… That tears it… This adventure sucks! I couldn't help it and my grunts of pain accidently escaped my mouth. Maybe dodging is a bit hard once you think about it… Sasuke and I both landed opposite to each other on the ground.
"Sasuke! Melody!" Sakura screamed.
"Sasuke! Melody!" Naruto also screamed as his eyes widened with shock.
Sasuke and I both grunted as we sat up. Okay, we both really need to learn how to dodge… Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he stared at the Ice Mirrors surrounding us.
"Hey, all of you!" Kakashi yelled out to us. "Use your heads and think! You need to attack from the outside and the inside at the same time!" He advised us. Uh oh…
Sasuke's eyes narrowed in thought as he looked around at the Ice Mirrors. Am I supposed to remember something?
From behind us, Naruto popped out of nowhere, scaring me half to death.
"Hey!" He whispered. "I snuck in here to save you two!"
Sasuke's eyes widened and so did mine as the Uchiha gasped.
"Cool move, huh you two?" Naruto said. Sasuke growled in anger as he raised a fist.
From the distance, I heard Kakashi mumble, "Naruto… You sneak up on your enemy, not your allies…"
"You are a complete loser!" Sasuke yelled at the confused blonde. "You're a Shinobi! Think carefully before you move!"
"What the heck is your problem?" Naruto spat. "You should thank me for coming in here to help you!"
Oh boy… Is this kid death? By this rate, the argument could go on forever… I sighed with a sweat-drop.
"Naruto if we're all inside here…" Sasuke trailed off with a loud growl and looked at the ground. "Forget it! I've had it with your mistakes…!"
I looked at one of the Crystal Ice Mirrors and raised an eyebrow and shrugged. It's official… I have gone on one of the most craziest teams in the whole entire ninja world… My eyes widened when Haku readied his needles.
"Um… Guys…?" I asked shakily.
"And I've had it with your attitude!" Naruto yelled back at Sasuke. "Believe it!"
Suddenly, Haku threw some needles at me.
"Guys! For the love of Kami! Someone help me!" I screamed as the needles cut my skin.
The boys' heads shot up at me and they immediately shut up.
"Melody!" The both of them yelled with concern. Wait… Sasuke… And concerned…? This is the apocalypse! I slammed into the ground hard. And before you ask… Yes… My face is on the ground…
"You two… Are going to die… Someday…" I muttered with my face still stuck on the ground. I picked myself off of the ground and brushed myself off.
"But that didn't…" I began until Sasuke cut me off.
"That's it!" He yelled with anger as he stood up and did his hand signs. "I'm going to burn you to the ground!"
"Fire Style…" He began. I blinked. Two words. Anger. Management. I suggest that he starts to take classes.
"Hurt…" I finished my earlier statement.
"Sasuke… That attack isn't going to work…" I sighed.
"Yeah!" Naruto agreed. He turned to me. "Wait… Why won't it work…?"
I slapped a hand against my head. "You can try it if you want to Sasuke… But this Ice isn't going to melt…" I ignored Naruto.
"Doesn't matter…" Sasuke said. "It's worth a shot…" I sighed. I'm surrounded by buffoons…
"Fire Ball Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled (He was still pretty mad too.) and he breathed a ball of fire out of his mouth and aimed it at the Ice Mirrors in front of him. He stopped as the flames were spreading on the Ice Mirrors, but the Jutsu didn't make too much of a difference. Sasuke's eyes widened.
"Once again… I so freaking told you so!" I yelled at Sasuke who growled at me.
"Shut it!" He yelled.
"When you're finally right about something!" I yelled back.
"Do you want me to fire ball you?" He yelled.
"Whoo!" Naruto called out. "Not me!"
"Shut it, Naruto!" Sasuke and I yelled at him.
"Okay… Now it's me…" Naruto mumbled.
The flames have finally blown out and Naruto stood up and stomped his foot on the ground.
"Yeah! That didn't do anything at all!" He shouted.
"Shut it, you loser!" Sasuke yelled back.
"He's right. It didn't." I agreed with Naruto as I nodded my head.
"Would you be quiet?" Sasuke yelled at me.
"No."
Sasuke growled angrily and punched the ground.
"Once again, Sasuke… What did that ground ever do to you?" I yelled.
"Anyway…" Haku said, interrupting us. "You will need much more heat than that to melt this ice…"
Sasuke was so frustrated that he punched the ground multiple times.
"Okay… SASUKE! STOP HITTING THAT POOR GROUND!" I yelled. "Be calm!"
"I AM CALM!" Sasuke yelled back at me.
"Oh… You're so convincing…" I said sarcastically, waving my hands in the air.
Sasuke growled but stayed quiet.
"Guys, he's going to attack again!" Naruto yelled out to us. Did I mention that it is impossible to remember everything…? No. Well it is!
Haku prepared his needles and soon began to throw them at us. Blood was splashing everywhere as we let out our screams of pain. And we somehow managed to land on our butts gracefully… Okay maybe not the boys, but I did! Don't ask how… But I did… They should consider taking classes on how to land on their butts wonderfully.
Naruto sat up. "Where is he?" He asked. "Where's the needle attack coming at us from? Are they clones?" He stood up. "We've got to find the real one. Which one is it?"
"Look into every mirror as hard as you like…" Haku said to us. "You'll never learn the secret."
"Oh yeah?" Naruto asked as he made a hand sign. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Sasuke turned to him. "No don't!" He yelled.
"We can't stop him…" I sighed.
A bunch of Naruto's appeared out of a puff of smoke and then charged at Haku.
"You've got a hundred mirrors? Then a hundred of me will smash them all! Then we'll find out where you really are!" The cloned all yelled out.
I could only see Haku leave the Ice Mirror, but after that it was just a blur. Sasuke and I heard the grunts of pain from all of the clones. Soon, all of the clones disappeared and the real Naruto was plummeting back to fell on his side.
"These mirrors only reflect my image." Haku told us. "Allowing myself to transport myself at light speed. Through my eyes… You appear to be moving in slow motion." Haku said.
"…I couldn't break through…" Naruto growled. Sasuke and I turned to him. "So what? He's not going to stop me!" Haku gasped. "I'm not giving up and I'm not going to lose here! Because I have a dream and no one's going to take it away from me!"
Naruto… That line sounds a little too much like a 4kids dialogue…
"Someday I will be respective in my village! To be the greatest Hokage – that's my dream!" Naruto finished. I wish I had the ability to see flashbacks. Because that is what Haku is having!
"It was not my desire to become a Shinobi… It's painful. I don't want to kill you. But if you advance, I will have no choice." Haku said. I blinked. "Then I will kill the kindness in my own heart. And fully embrace the Shinobi way. And there will be no mercy. No turning back. This bridge will be the battlefield where our dreams collide. Now I must fight for my dream. Just as you fight for yours. Please do not blame me. I fight for someone who is precious to me. I live for him. And I'd face death for him. So then his dream may be become reality. That is my dream and for the sake of that dream, if I must, I will act as a Shinobi and take your lives!" Haku said as he took out a needle.
Naruto, Sasuke and I all smiled as we stared at Haku with tension. It will only take us about five episodes to defeat these guys…
Wait… I said what now…
"Come at me bro!"
Closing:
Cultivate your hunger,
Before you idealize,
Motivate your anger,
To make them all realize,
Climbing the mountain,
Never coming down,
Break into the contents,
Never falling down.
My knee is still shakin'
Like I was twelve,
Sneaking out of the classroom,
By the back door,
A man railed at me twice though,
But I didn't care,
Waiting is wasting for people like me.
Don't try to live so wise,
Don't cry 'cause you're so right,
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end…
Don't try to live so wise,
Don't cry 'cause you're so right,
Don't dry with fakes and fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end…
Don't try to live so wise,

(Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Melody Voice-over)
(Naruto) Crystal Ice Mirrors… I know your game! And I finally know how to beat it too!
(Melody) Ah! It looks like there is a brain in that oversized head of yours!
(Naruto) Don't talk about Sakura that way!
(Melody) I didn't say anything about Sakura.
(Sakura) What did you say about my forehead, Naruto?
(Naruto) Uh… Sasuke, let's get out of here so then we can rescue the bridge builder and run away from Sakura!
(Sasuke) You are such a loser! Concentrate!
(Melody) Yeah! What he said!
(Sasuke) You shouldn't be talking! You left me for dead!
(Melody) It was only the one time…
(Naruto and Melody) Next time…
Zero Visibility!
The Sharingan Shatters!
(Melody) I'm going to save the day!
(Naruto) No! I am!
EXTRA! (? POV)
"I hate being in this place…" I growled angrily. "Once I find her I need to make sure that this never happens again…!" I folded my arms and thought for a moment.
"Maybe… The Hidden Leaf Village!"
That is the only place where she could be…
