Chapter Seven
The next day. . .
"Emm wow it's such a beautiful morning today" I say looking out at the blue sky and the glistening water of the ocean.
"HIKARI!!" Hanon says bursting through my door.
"Jeez Hanon ever heard of knocking" I say.
"Oops sorry, anyway time to go to the beach." She announces.
"Eh Hanon ever think of asking?" I say.
"I did remember I came in this morning and asked." She says.
"Really?" I say as I try to remember.
All the sudden the look appears on my face as I remember.
Earlier this morning around four AM. . .
"Hikari wanna go to the beach today?" Hanon asks bursting through my door.
I turn away from her and cover my head with my pillow.
"HIKARI YES OR NO?!" She screams yanking away the pillow.
"YES!! I SAY YES IF YOU'LL GO AWAY AND LET ME SLEEP!!" I scream.
"Okay good." She says returning my pillow and skipping out the room.
End of flashback.
"Hanon that's not fair I was half asleep." I whine.
"Well you agreed and too late I already told Luchia and called Lina."
"But I don't have a swimsuit and I am NOT going to the mall AGAIN!" I say.
"Don't have to I already bought you one when we went shopping Friday." She says and tosses me a bag.
I look inside "HANON!!" I screech taking out the swimsuit. It was a red bikini halter top and boy short bottoms with three dark red stars in the left side of the bottom and top right corner of the top.
"Oh for goodness sake Hikari we wear stuff like this all the time when were mermaids." She says shaking her head in disappointment.
"You couldn't have gotten me a one piece?" I whine.
"Now how would you impress Kenchii in that?" She asks.
"I WOULDN'T!! I AM NOT WEARING THIS!!" I scream.
"Honestly at least I got you boy shorts to you know how many other cute red ones there were? But because I'm your friend and I want to protect you I got the least revealing one I could find."
"AND SHOWING UP IN A TWO PIECE INFRONT OF THAT PERV IS WHAT YOU CALL PROTECTING ME?!" I scream.
"Just wear it. We're leaving in five." She says leaving the room with a slam of my door.
"Hanon! Sigh. . . well knowing here she'll drag me there by force so might as well get changed." I say giving in.
Five minutes later right on schedule the doorbell rings.
"Coming!" Hanon shouts. "Hi Lina."
"Hi Hanon. We ready to go?" Lina asks.
"Yup!" Me and Luchia say coming down the stairs.
"Then lets go!" Hanon says.
At the beach. . .
"For goodness sake where are they?" Hanon complains looking around for the boys. "And Hikari, TAKE OF THE STUPID SWEATSHIRT!" She yells at me because I was wearing a baggy sweatshirt that covered up most of my body.
"No way!" I say.
"Fine then." Hanon says all the sudden disappearing
"Huh? Hanon where'd you go-AHHH!!" I scream as the zipper to my sweatshirt is pulled down and my sweatshirt slides of me. All the sudden eyes turn towards me LITARLLY!!
"Hey hot stuff wanna come play some games with me?" A guy asks me.
"Uh n-no thanks." I mumble.
"Aw come on-" He starts
Suddenly arms appear around me "So sorry she's taken." says a voice. Apparently the boys have finally arrived.
"What. Are. You. Doing." I hiss through clenched teeth to Kenchii.
"Helping you out for goodness sake play along." He whispers back.
"Oh there you are!" I say. "You're late." I say wriggling out from under his arms and punching him playfully.
"So sorry I'm late." He says wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Who exactly are you?" The guy asks
"Uh her boyfriend. Who else, right?" He says
"Yup!" I say trying to smile and trying really hard not to send him soaring past Pluto.
"Hmph." The guy says and walks away and my audience seeing I'm with somebody else 'as if' turn back to their activities.
"Okay now let go." I say trying to wriggle out.
"Nah." He says.
"WHAT! YOU LET GO NOW!" I say struggling to get out of his grasp.
"Don't feel like it!" He says.
And you can guess what happened.
"Okay then. . . DIE!!" I say punching him and send him soaring into the ocean and then walking away.
Everyone watches me and sweatdrop thinking 'God that girl has got some major strength.'
Then I stop.
"AYE I FORGOT TO THANK HIM AGAIN!" I yell.
"Kenchii you okay?" Nagisa says swimming out to him.
"Yup!" He says laying on his back and looking at the sky.
"You know somehow I don't think Hikari's interested." Nagisa states.
"Yeah. . . isn't great?" Kenchii says.
"Huh?! You've lost me there bro." He says.
"Well think about it. All my life girls have been after me cause they think I'm hot. But she's different in so many ways. She's super cute, tough, has attitude and major strength for a girl and hasn't fallen for me once since we've met." He says.
"I see what you mean but what about that girl you met along time ago?" Nagisa asks.
"I don't know I just don't know. She's probably forgotten all about me anyway so maybe I should just move on." He says as he and Nagisa swim to shore.
Back at the beach. . .
"Sigh and that's what happened." I say telling them how I yet again forgot to thank the guy.
"Oh honestly Hikari." Hanon says shaking her head in disappointment.
"I CAN'T HELP HE'S SUCH A PERVERT!!" I scream.
Before anyone can say anything else, someone on a microphone appears on the stage.
"HELLO FELLOW PEOPLE OF THE BEACH WE'RE JUST ABOUT TO START THE KARAOKE CONTEST SO IF YOU'RE INTRESTED ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS STEP UP UPON THE STAGE!!" A voice announces (more like screams) over the loud speakers.
"Ohhhhhh Hikari go up there!" Hanon says.
"No way! The last thing I need is to attract more attention." I state.
"Oh come on Hikari you're such a good singer." Luchia says.
"Anyway you've got plenty of strength to get rid of any unwanted fanboys." Lina says.
"Fine." I say walking towards the stage.
"Ohh looks like we have our first entry! Your name." The guy says.
"Hikari Chinami." I say
(A/N Finally chose a last name)
"Anyway what song will you be singing?"
"Just wait and see!" I say.
I go over and request the song to the band thank goodness they know it.
"I'd like to dedicate this song to the boy from my childhood wherever he may be." I say into the mic.
The music starts playing and I start singing.
Far in the light, I can see it
in every scene of the night
a tiny feather of love
Everyone stops what they're doing and turn towards the stage including Kenchii.
"Not bad. But her voice seems so familiar." Kenchii says.
I gotta go
destiny never finds the way for me, my love
"Wow look at Hikari go!" Hanon says.
"She's great!" Luchia says.
"Lets go up there and join into the harmony!" Lina says and they rush up to the stage.
even in the night I see your face, in the dark
so I never lose my way to you
I never close my heart
the light is always there
Now the girls join in.
time goes by, we can never stay the same
now we've come so far from love memory
though your smile has gone, we will never be apart
in our hearts we are one, for love melody
the future arrives with your love
willing to go to the place
where you never need to cry
I'll take you there
willing to find an answer
in all the winding road we have come through
in the heat of summer, cold of winter, I'm here
so you never lose your way to me
never close your heart
your light is always here
time goes by, we can never stay the same
in the shades of hope, in love memory
though your smile has gone, we will never be apart
in our hearts we can hear the love melody
the future still shines, close to you
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
The future still shines, close to you. . .
We finish and everyone screams and cheers.
"Wow are these girls talented or what not only great voices but in another language? Is there anyone out there who thinks they can beat these girls-"
"AHHHH!" Someone screams as a huge wave appears and heads towards the beach. Everyone runs away screaming.
"It's them again." Lina says.
"Let's go!" I shout.
We run to the ocean.
"Hey where do they think they're going?!" Kenchii says seeing us run toward the wave instead of away.
"I don't know." Nagisa says
"Well they're insane we have to go after them- ." He starts to say. But before he can say anything else Kaito punches him in the stomach and he falls over unconscious.
Nagisa catches him before he touches the ground.
"What was that for?!" Nagisa asks Kaito.
"CAN YOU THINK OF ANYTHING BETTER?! WE KNOW VERY WELL WHY THEY'RE GOING!" Kaito says.
Nagisa just stays silent and continues walking while Masahiro slings Kenchii over his shoulder and the rest of them leave to look for a safe location.
We all leap into the ocean and I can feel my legs morphing into my tail.
Up ahead we see the girls with blue and red hair.
"We've been expecting you mermaid princesses." The red one says.
"Well if it isn't Lele and Fifi!" I say.
The blue haired one grows an anime vein as she shouts "Err THAT'S SHESHE AND MIM!!"
"Either way it doesn't matter all that matters is we get those pearls." Sheshe says.
"Well to bad you're not going to get them. RED PEARL VOICE!!" I shout.
"PINK PEARL VOICE!!"
"AQUA PEARL VOICE!!"
"GREEN PEAL VOICE!!"
We all transform and stand there ready to fight.
"Pichi Pichi Voice Live we start off!" We all say.
"Hmph" They say and give us smirks.
"What's so funny?" I ask.
"We just got a new song from our new boss." Sheshe say.
"They get stronger every time we meet them." Lina says.
"Our turn!" Mimi says.
But right before they can start singing, they're interrupted.
"BLACK PEARL VOICE!!" A voice shouts.
"Huh?!" Everyone exclaims and turns toward the voice.
The light disappears to reveal. . .
