Hero transformed back into a human,the calls were making my mind race back and forth. Go with Gaito and destroy the town for leaving me or go with the other mermaid princesses and Hero and continue with a normal life.
"D.J….." Hero thought in his mind. His heart was breaking at the sight of my misery so he got fed up with it. He came close to me a pulled me into his arms.
Quickly I got flustered and took my hands off of my ears. He looked at me sweetly, so kindly even after everything I've done. "Hero" I said softly then began to cry. Suddenly the pearl started glowing out of the sight of others and the spell broke.
"No! I will not loose my ultimate weapon!" Gaito bellowed then attacked. He came charging at me and Hero with all his might when suddenly a shield of light from my pearl protected us.
"A weapon! Hey is that all I was to you a weapon. How rude! You never cared about me Gaito!" I said getting up. Hero got up behind me and put his hand on my shoulder.
"That's not what I said D.J" Gaito said trying to make tings better but just making them worst. "I said I won't loose the one I love D.J, I love you more then Hero could ever do. At least I would never leave you" he said smirking at Hero.
"Well…" I said angrily but Hero pulled me back.
"It's my fault that she was vulnerable to you but even outside of that I never stopped loving her" he said seriously. I began to fluster hearing the kind words he had to say. "It breaks my heart to see her cry and suffer like the night I left her but I've been thinking about it and there was no point in saying those things because I know no matter what I'm still going to love her and I hope she loves me back."
Lucia, Hanon, Rina, and I were teary eyes at the nice things he had to say. My heart was fluttering like the first day we met 8 years ago.
"I don't care what you have to say I will make D.J mine!" Gaito said then charged at Hero. With no time to move Gaito broke Hero's rain drop pendant.
Fear rose in Hero's eyes as he turned into a dragon. A tear rolled down his eyes as he knew he couldn't become human again. "No the only thing that held my human form is destroyed." He looked at me as I got angry at Gaito-sama for attacking Hero. "She would never want to love me." He said then flew away.
"I knew he couldn't stay here, come D.J he's gone now" Gaito said coming closer to me.
"You pitiful excuse for a bad guy! You attacked Hero and I can't forgive you for that! Black Pearl Voice!" I said then transformed back to my normal state. Hanon, Lucia, and Rina cheered in happiness.
"No that means…." Gaito said realizing that the spell has been broken.
"Face it Gaito you'll never get this pearl or any other pearl" Hanon said hugging me.
"Glad you're back" Lucia said.
"Me too, hey Lucia, thanks for helping me" I said hugging her. "Now let's kick bad guy butt!" We leaned back to back with Hanon and Rina behind us. "Pichi Pichi Chorus is a live start!"
We started to sing the legend of the mermaid together. Eriru, Izuru, Maria, and Yuri couldn't take it anymore so they ran away. Little by little Gaito was kneeling to the floor covering his ears.
"Performing this perfect harmony, Love shower pitch!" we said.
"All I wanted was you D.J. When I saw you crying on the beach last night I instantly fell in love with you. Now my heart is broken knowing that I can never hold you in my arms again" he said with little tears rolling down his face.
"Oh Gaito-sama" I thought
"I guess there's no one there for me is there" he said putting his head down.
"Suck it up man!" I said to him seriously. "You say that no one loves you have you seen how your servants drool over you. Now stop acting like a dumb nut and go!"
"D.J" he said softly then got up. "I will capture your pearl and your heart too!" he said then teleported away. Everyone sweat dropped thinking of Gaito's performance.
Smiling at everyone I noticed Hero was gone. "Hey guys have you seen Hero?" I asked curiously.
"It's late maybe he went home to sleep" Lucia said yawning.
"I could have sworn he flew away during the battle, still can't believe he's a dragon" Rina said happily.
"Bet you're looking for him to make up don't you!" Hanon said poking me. I got flustered and smiled. "Go get him love bird" she said pushing me.
"Okay if I'm not home by tomorrow look for Gaito-sama!" I said waving bye to them.
I searched for a half an hour now with no sign of him anyway. "Hero where are you" I said thinking about him then remembered the hidden cove near the beach. I jumped into the water to get there faster. I couldn't see where I was going since I was going to fast that I bumped into something.
"Ow, ow, ow!" I said rubbing my head. Suddenly rough arms pulled me out of the water and put me on the waters edge. I looked up and saw Hero as the blue dragon. He looked sad with tears rolling down his eyes. He was about to leave when "wait" I said grabbing his tail.
"Where are you going" I asked gesturing him to sit down.
"You can't love me anymore" he said telepathically.
"And why can't I" I asked worried.
"Who would want to love a stupid dragon like me? I'm a monster and thanks to Gaito I have no human form. Now I'm not good enough for you." he said turning away. I pulled his ear preventing him from leaving. "Ow, D.J" he said looking down at me.
My head was down and when I looked up at him my eyes were filled with tears.
"After all that I've been through you're just going to leave me like this. You can't tell me who I can love and can't love just by the way they look. So maybe you're scaly and blue on the outside but you're still the same Hero I loved ever since I was four. I love you hero and nothing is going to change my mind."
Hero couldn't believe what he was hearing. He pulled his face closer to me and kissed me on the cheek. My pearl started glowing and the light poured into Hero. A few minutes later he turned back into his human form with no pendant around his neck. He knew now that he can change at will.
"That's the Hero I always' loved no mater what!" I said happily.
He smiled greatly at me and pulled my face closed to him until our lips touched.
"Finally I found you Hero. The one and only for me" I said wrapping my arms around him.
Gaito was being a peeping tom and was watching me and Hero. "No matter I will still get your heart!"
Months have passed since the incident and everything seemed great except "D.J can you do my chores" Lucia asked.
"Why me?" I whined at her.
"You're the one that destroyed the town not me" she said sticking her tongue out at me.
"Lucia, haven't you forgotten about that already" I said unhappy with her.
"Forgotten or not you're still doing my chores!" she said running away.
"Hey!" I said about to go after her but Hero wrapped me in his arms and kissed me.
"I'll help you out" he said smiling at me.
Oh well that's been going on since I got home and Gaito-sama still bothers me every once in a while. He even brought me roses. And from here on out we lived together in peace.
