The Little Mermaid Naruto Style!
Chapter dos, yo.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto in any form or fashion. And I don't own the original concept for The Little Mermaid story.
I do in fact own the ending and I ain't gonna tell you nothing.
Hinata swam to the surface carrying both boys with her arms. She made it to the shore, but it was still stormy out at sea. She breathed heavily out of fear for her prince's life. They were both breathing normally and Hinata was relieved. Her prince was safe and so was his friend. She looked at the other boy. He was blonde and had a pleasant face. He looked familiar to her. She looked back to her prince. He had a handsome face, but had a more serious expression. She blushed and began to sing her echoing melody.
"That…that sound…what is that? I've heard this before." Naruto was in his own world, barely realizing the event that took place. He opened his eyes. Sitting next to him was a beautiful, sea green, mermaid. "It…It's you. I've seen you before." He tried to get up, but the mermaid dove back into to the sea. "Wait…" Naruto sighed and looked toward Sasuke. Suddenly, familiar voices started shouting at them from far away and Naruto blacked out.
Hinata swam back to her home. She had saved her fair prince's life, and it is said that when a mermaid saves someone's life, they can make a wish. Since she had saved two lives, she could now have two wishes. She saw her cousin, Neji, but decided against telling him what had happened.
Days went by and the haunting melody of Sasuke's rescuer filled his head. Who had saved him? And what was that mysterious song? He couldn't make heads or tails of it. Naruto had told him a mermaid saved them, but who in their right mind would believe such a faery story? Five days had gone by and still Sasuke had no one to tell him who had saved him. Then, the day had come for the neighboring kingdom to visit. It was to the West of them and the royal family had two twin daughters. Much like Naruto and Sasuke, the sisters didn't look much alike. The eldest, Ino, had long blonde hair and light blue eyes. The younger sister, Sakura, had strawberry blonde hair and green eyes. The two sisters got along well with each other, but when it came to an argument or a feud, they would be the worst of enemies. Today, the monarchs were to discuss the businesses of their kingdoms and this allowed the sisters to visit with their counterparts.
"You know, Sakura, they say that Sasuke is the most handsome prince in the nearest kingdoms, don't you?" said Ino as they walked down the hall to the courtyard. "Well, Ino, I hear that prince Shikamaru has an eye for you." Sakura said slyly. Ino cringed at the thought of that. Prince Shikamaru was very lazy, yet very wise. He was considered an old man at his age, for he enjoyed playing strategy games like chess. "Well dear sister, let us not forget that knight who promised to marry you. Lee was it?" Ino knew that Sakura had no intent on her suitor, Lee the valiant. He was fit, strong, brave, loyal and true, but to thwart all of those charms, his looks threw them away. His hair was bowl cut and his eyebrows were thick like pieces of pine tree bark (and if you live in the Eastern or Southern part of the US, you know how thick that stuff is!). Sakura cringed at the remark. Then they were soon joined up with the princes. "Good morning to you both. I trust you had a pleasant journey here," Said Sasuke formally, "I am Prince Sasuke and this is my brother, Prince Naruto." Naruto nodded his head, "Yes, it is wonderful to meet you both, especially you milady," he took Sakura's hand and kissed it. Sakura blushed, but the one who she really had wanted to do it was the Prince Sasuke. He was as handsome as the rumors had said and she wanted his attention most of all. Sakura began, "It's a pleasure indeed. I am Princess Sakura and this is…" Ino put her hands to her hips and proudly stated, "And I am Princess Ino, the elder sister." She held out her hand to Sasuke, but he paid it no mind. (Ino 00?) They walked to the courtyard and discussed how their lives were and what matters their kingdoms had to deal with, when suddenly, "It must not be any fun living in a castle without a beach." Stated Naruto. "A beach?" both Sakura and Ino asked. "Yes, we live by the sea here. Would you like to see it?" Naruto asked and both sisters agreed.
The night before, however, held another story. Hinata had wondered a long time about what became of her prince and his friend. She still had her wishes, so she finally decided to use one. It was a risk, but she was willing to make it. That evening, she swam away from her under water kingdom, to a cove close to the shore of her prince's kingdom. She sat on a rock and looked towards the sky, "Oh wondrous stars that live in the heavens, please, turn me into a human for my prince. Please make my wish come true." Suddenly a star shot across the night sky and a form appeared. It flew from the sky to Hinata. Frightened, she dove into the water and peeked from behind the rock from which she sat on. The form was almost monstrous. It had lashing tails and a furious face. "You there! Are you the one who called upon me, to make a wish? SPEAK!" Said the creature. "Y-yes, I did." Hinata moved to let it see her better. In a voice that was gentle, yet full of wisdom and power, "What is it that you wish to be human?" It's massive claws stood on the water as if it were solid ground. Hinata pulled herself onto the rock again, "Please, sir, I wish to become human so that I can meet the prince of that kingdom," she pointed toward Sasuke's castle. The creature gave a deep sigh, "Is that truly what you wish for?" Hinata nodded her head. "Alright then. I, the great Kiyubi, shall grant thee, child of ocean, the sentence of one month to be human." Kiyubi let out a great howl and Hinata's body began to glow. Her green skin started to shed and her red eyes started to water. Hinata was overwhelmed by the tears and fell into the water. Kyubi then disappeared.
Sasuke, Naruto, Ino, and Sakura walked along the beach, enjoying the fresh, salty air. They came to the edge of the beach near a cliff that led to a cove, some distance away. "What is that over there?" Sakura pointed to a pile of seaweed and sticks. 'That's seaweed, dear sister." Ino replied. "No, I mean, I think I see something in it, like a person!" All four rush over to the pile, and sure enough, was a girl, about their age, half naked and unconscious. "Oh my!" Ino cried, "I hope she's not dead!" "She must be washed up from a ship wreck," said Sakura. "Naruto help me get this girl out of the weeds." Sasuke ordered. "I'll use my jacket to cover her." Said Naruto as he moved branches out of the way.
Hinata opened her eyes. Her throat burned and her body felt heavy. She looked around, but she had no idea where she was. She sat up and looked down at her body. Her skin was no longer scaly and green, but smooth and sand colored. Her hair was still the same, but it wasn't pasted to her head like usual when she was out of water. No fins, no gills, but indeed, a human body. She cried for joy, but her throat burned and made her croak. "She's awake sire!" cried an attendant. She sat looking towards the door, for she decided against moving out of the large bed she was in. Sasuke entered the room, "We are glad to see you are alright. Naruto will you get her the food prepared for her?" Naruto nodded and left from behind him. Hinata's eyes widened. It was her prince! "No you needn't be frightened, my name is Sasuke. Prince Sasuke. And who might you be?" Hinata tried to talk, but all that came out was a squeak. "Hmm…Being shipwrecked must've made you lose your voice." Ino entered the room, followed by Sakura. "How is she?" asked Sakura. Sasuke turned to face her, "She's alright," he looked back to Hinata, "But I believe she's lost her voice. For now at least." Ino came up to her and held her hand, "Poor dear, If you need anything at all, we'll be here or someone will attend to you." Hinata stared into the eyes of these new people. 'I've never seen these girls before,' thought Hinata; 'maybe they're cousins to Sasuke, like Neji is mine.' Naruto entered with a servant lady with a tray of food and water. He stood on the other side of the bed with the woman and said, "Must've been a nasty shipwreck, huh? We were shipwrecked once too, you know?" Sasuke looked at him, "Naruto, she's had enough of that now." Sakura interjected, "Yes, Naruto, all she needs now is to think of that horrible incident." Naruto smiled and looked down, "Yes, you're right. Well, if you need anything, just ask for me." "She can't really do that Naruto." Replied Ino. "Hmm? And why not?" he looked to Hinata, her eyes large and filled with confusion. "Hey! I do believe I've seen you before!" exclaimed Naruto. "Naruto, keep your voice down. We should let her get some rest." Said Sasuke as he left the room. Ino and Sakura followed Sasuke out. Naruto looked back at Hinata, "Well, see you soon." And he left after them.
