Me: Hello guys! Chapter 2 is here.

Yukito: Meow Meow!

*Naoki sweatdropp.*

Me *shocked*: What in the world are you doing in a cat costume?

Naoki *smiling*: That's Yukito, you know.

*Hanon and Rina appears with Hanon in a rabbit costume.*

Me *further shocked*: Hanon? You too!

Hanon: Boing Boing!

Rina *smiling*: That's Hanon, you know.

Me: Anyway, thank you all for your continous support and reviewing and liking my story.

Naoki: Zahir890 does not own Mermaid Melody. Just the OCs.

Rina: And now let Chapter 2 begin!

Hanon *hopping*: Boing Boing!

Yukito *meowing*: Meow Meow!

*Me, Naoki and Rina just laughed*

Chapter 2: Azumi's Resurrection.

Ring! Ring!

Ring! Ring!

"I will get it." Luchia sighed as she picked up the phone.

"Hello. This is Pearl Piari. Luchia speaking."

"Hi Luchia!"

Luchia gasped, "Naoki? Is that you?"

"It sure is." Naoki smiled.

"Kyah! How things's go? How did you know this number?"

"My son gave me this number."

"Oh!"

Both Luchia and Naoki laughed. Luchia's loud laughter caused Hanon and Rina to approach Luchia with curiosity.

"Why are you laughing so loudly, Luchia?" Hanon said.

"Yeah. Who is calling you anyway?" Rina asked.

"Rina. It's Naoki Hamasaki." Luchia said.

"Naoki?"

"Yep."

"Can I have the phone?"

"Sure." Luchia said and gave the phone to Rina.

"Hi Rina! Seems you are very happy about what happened yesterday." Naoki said.

"Very happy. We even went into the scenario where..." Rina said.

"My son has told everything about what happened yesterday. You guys were very lucky to go there where you witnessed the history of it."

"Thank you, Naoki."

"Are you okay? You guys were attacked by that no good yakuzas and I was worried that you might have gotten hurt."

"Don't worry, Naoki. I am perfectly fine. That boss got his hands covered in blood because he punched the invisible shield twice. Masahiro's locket also has blinded them and they were yelping and ran away."

"Thank God that you guys are okay."

"Anyway, what did you call for?"

"Make sure Luchia and Hanon are close to hear what I have to say."

"I think they are already close." Rina sweatdropped as Hanon and Luchia were close to Rina.

"Okay. So I have finally remembered the song that we can bring Azumi back to life."

On hearing that, Luchia immediately snatched the phone from Rina and said happily:

"Really?"

"Yep."

"Thank you so much!"

"I will be coming at 8:00 pm. Make sure all of you are ready."

Hanon then took the phone from Luchia and pleaded:

"Can you please bring Yukito with you?"

"I am going to come with her."

"Thank you!"

"I will see you then." and with that Naoki dropped the phone.

"Luchia! You will be able to meet the former mermaid princess of your kingdom!" Hanon happily said.

"I am soooo happy!" Luchia smiled.

After a few laughs and cheers by the three girls, Kaito came to Luchia's room.

"What's with all those cheering?" Kaito asked.

"Oh Kaito! Good news. Naoki has finally remembered the poem that can bring Azumi back to life." Rina smiled.

"Well I am glad Luchia can finally get to see her."

"Kaito! Kaito!" Luchia said happily, "Please let the others know that Yukito and Naoki will come at 8pm."

"Okay." and Kaito rushed to tell the news to others.

At night: 8:00pm

Knock Knock!

Nikora ran to open the door and look who it is? None other than Yukito Shirai and Naoki Hamasaki.

"Ah! It's good to see you two." Nikora smiled.

"It sure is." Naoki smiled

"Hi guys!" Yukito exclaimed.

"Yukito! You came!" Hanon exclaimed as she ran to hug Yukito.

"Yep I sure did."

Luchia, Kaito and Rina soon came and greeted them.

"Your son came to our hotel yesterday." Taki smiled.

"I see. What did he eat?" Yukito asked.

"Pancakes, wagashi and sushi." Hanon said happily.

"Wow! So many."

Both of them laughed.

"It's good to meet you, former mermaid princesses." Hippo smiled and bowed.

"Hi..Hey wait a second!" Yukito exclaimed.

Silence occured.

"Wait a second, are you Hippo?" Yukito asked.

"Yes I..." Hippo was about to say before Yukito exploded in anger.

"A TRAITOR AND A BETRAYER WHO BETRAYED MY BEST FRIEND!"

A shock occured throughout the room. They had never seen Yukito so angry like that and her angry voice was so scary that it shrieked them all in fear.

It was then Naoki realized that she has forgotten to tell Yukito about what happened to Hippo at that time.

"I am sorry." Naoki said sadly and quietly.

"Sorry for what?' Nikora asked quietly.

"I really forgot to tell her about what happened to Hippo at that time."

"Uh oh."

Yukito stared angrily at Luchia.

"How could you keep that traitor and that betrayer penguin as your guardian?!" Yukito asked angrily.

"Yukito. What happened..." Luchia was about to say before Yukito interrupted.

"Do you realize what that penguin did to my another best friend name Azumi who was the former mermaid princess of your kingdom?!"

"I know. Naoki told us but..."

"THEN WHY DO YOU STILL KEEP HIM AS YOUR GUARDIAN WHO HAD COST MY BEST FRIEND'S LIFE?!"

"Yukito. Please listen..."

"Suppose Kaito right now is not a Panthalassa Prince. What would happen if that penguin BASTARD never told you about the law which I showed you earlier?! I guarantee that you will suffer the same fate as Azumi!"

"Yu..." Luchia couldn't say anymore. She was so frightened that she failed to continue.

Yukito turned her attention to Hippo.

"So ! I hope you enjoyed yourself when my best friend died!" Yukito said angrily.

"Yukito-san. I never..." Hippo said meekily before Yukito interrupted.

"SHUT UP! You were lucky that I wasn't looking for you. Otherwise, I would have been more happy to GET MY HANDS ON YOU!"

Hippo was frightened by Yukito's angerness.

"Please listen what Luchia has to say." Kaito said meekly but Yukito ignored him.

"Both of you Nikora and Taki! You knew very well how I heartbroken I was when I lost Azumi! Then why did you still keep him?!" Yukito asked angrily.

"Please listen..." Nikora tried to continue but her voice failed her.

"I know very well after Naoki told us but..." Taki also tried to continue but Yukito gave a big "Hmmm."

Yukito then turned her attention to Hanon and Rina.

"And you two! How could you trust that penguin as your friend?!" Yukito asked angrily.

"Hippo didn't mean to do it." Rina meekly said.

"DIDN'T MEAN DO IT?! HE ACTUALLY DID HE ON PURPOSE!"

"Listen Yukito. He saved us many..." Hanon said before getting interrupted by Yukito.

"HE JUST SAVED YOU SO THAT YOU AND OTHERS WON'T BE ABLE TO KNOW HIS TRUE INTENTIONS!"

Another shock occured around the room. Yukito then just knelt down on her knees and started to cry.

"Yukito.." Naoki sadly said.

"I can't believe this." Yukito said while crying, "I thought I was so happy when I met you guys, the current mermaid princesses. Not only that, my son even fell in love with you, Hanon. I always believed that someday he would find love with the current mermaid princess."

"Yukito." Hanon said sadly.

"BUT NOW I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT YOU GUYS ARE DEFENDING THAT PENGUIN TRAITOR! I AM NEVER SPEAKING TO YOU GUYS AGAIN! HMMMMPH!"

And with that Yukito turned her back against them and turned a blind eye.

Everyone was very sad. Hippo and Luchia were upset because Yukito didn't allow them to explain their reason properly. Hanon wondered whether Yukito also does like that to Nagisa. Naoki decided to fix things straight away. She then went to Yukito and said:

"Yukito. Please listen. I found Hippo and made him confess. He did admit that he hid the book but Hippo had suffered a very tragic exprience when he was young."

"He what?" Yukito suddenly became puzzled.

"What Luchia is trying to say to you was that at his young age, Hippo witnessed the brutal murder of his mom and her guardian by that Daiyou Takashi and Hippo never knew about his death untill I told him so."

"Da..Da..Daiyou Takashi?" Yukito gulped before turning to Luchia.

"Luchia? You were trying to tell me that?"

Luchia nodded. Yukito then looked at Hippo.

"Tell me about it." Yukito said.

And so Hippo told to Yukito what happened to him when he was young: how he witnessed the brutal murder of his mom and her guardian, how he feared about the mermaid princess's safety as long as Takashi is around. He also never knew about Azumi's and Takashi's death untill Naoki told him.

Yukito was shocked when Hippo told her all the terrible things Hippo had experienced.

"Let me get this straight." Yukito said, "So you witnessed your mom and her guardian's death and you were so scared at that time that you were worried about the other's mermaid princess safety and that you had to hid the book without being aware that Takashi had been executed?"

Hippo nodded and started to cry. Seeing Hippo like that made Yukito ashamed of herself. She had shouted at them without listening to the reason and she knew that's not one of her personality. She patted Hippo and said:

"I'm sorry Hippo. I shouted at you for no reason." Yukito sadly said and she also told to others, "I am very sorry to you all. I acted very wrongly."

"It's okay Yukito. We forgive you." Luchia smiled.

"Does your son know about that no good Takashi?" Hanon asked.

"Yep he did but I made a slight mistake." Yukito said.

"What mistake?" Nikora asked.

"Well..." Yukito gulped before saying, "I told him all about that Takashi when he was 9 years old."

Everyone did an anime-style fall after hearing that except Naoki who sweatdropped.

"Do you even know what would happen to him if you say such things at his young age?" Taki asked.

"I know that and he told me never to mention that name again." Yukito said.

"Do you ever act angrily like that to Nagisa?" Hanon asked.

"Never. It's just that when I see some traitorous person and his friends who are defending him, that's when I explode."

"I see."

Everyone laughed for a few seconds.

"Luchia, Hippo and Kaito. Come over here please." Naoki called.

Kaito, Luchia and Hippo came towards Naoki.

"Luchia, introduce yourself to Azumi when she comes back to life and say that you suceeded her. Kaito, Azumi thinks that all Panthalassa Princes are a threat. You have to convince her that you have a Panthalassa symbol in your forehead which means protecting someone." Naoki explained.

"Yes, Naoki." Both Luchia and Kaito said.

"As for you Hippo, make sure Azumi fully understands your tragic past you had that led you to hid the book and also tell her your unawareness of her death or else she is gonna snap your neck if she sees you. Also listen to my every instructions I give if you want Yuri to be back."

"I understand Naoki-san." Hippo said.

"Well then who's coming with us?"

Everyone raised their hands.

"I am so exicted to meet Azumi." Hanon squealed.

"Me too." Rina said.

"Then let's go to the beach!" Yukito proclaimed.

"Just give us a few minutes." Nikora said.

And so after a few minutes Kaito, Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Hippo, Nikora, Taki, Yukito and Naoki set off to the beach.

In the beach:

"Okay everyone! Are you ready?" Naoki asked.

"We are all ready!" Everyone said.

Naoki then for a minute ensured that everyone is really ready. After doing so she then said:

"Okay then. This song which can bring someone back to life will only work from 9:00pm to 10:00pm. Any other time won't work."

Everyone then memorized it by heart. Hippo took a pen and a notebook and wrote:

1. Song works at 9:00pm to 10:00pm only. No other time.

"Next up is to write the name of the person you want to bring back to life on the sand and in capital letters." Naoki said.

She and Yukito then drew a huge 'AZUMI' name on the sand. Everyone gasped at the size of the name.

"Naoki. We have to write the name this big?!" Luchia gasped.

"No." Naoki said, "You can right in any size but all must be in capital letters."

"And no spelling mistakes." Yukito said, "One spelling mistake and you will be unable to bring that person back to life."

Hippo then wrote this down in his notebook:

2. Name must be written on the sand. All capital letters, No spelling mistakes and in any size.

"Finally we have to sing the song which is this. Please memorize." Naoki said as she hand over the paper of the song to Luchia.

Unfortunately, this song is already known to Luchia and others.

"Naoki. We already know this song." Luchia said.

"You do?!" Naoki was shocked.

"Yeah. We sang it a couple of times." Hanon said.

"Then tell me the name of the song." Yukito said.

"Legend of Mermaid." Rina smiled.

Naoki and Yukito did an anime style fall after hearing that.

"Wow. All my thinking for nothing." Naoki mumbled.

"Don't be sad. At least you are telling us how to bring someone back to life." Rina said.

Hippo then wrote this on the notebook.

3. Sing the Legend of the Mermaid.

Naoki and Yukito then stood beside each other.

"Are you ready Yukito?" Naoki said.

"Ready as you are." Yukito smiled.

Then they started to sing together:

"Nanairo no kaze ni fukarete

Tooi misaki wo mezashiteta

A small pink pearl started to appear above the sea. Everyone was amazed.

Yoake mae kikoeta merodi

Sore wa totemo natsukashii uta

While Naoki and Yukito are singing, Hanon and Rina are open-mouth. Their voice! So beautiful! Such a voice they have never heard before their lives! Even Luchia and others were amazed by their beautiful voice they still have even though they no longer have the pearl powers to sing.

"My God!" Hanon gasped, "We are no close to match their singing voice."

"They even sing so beautiful than me." Rina said.

"I think we need a double transformation to match their voice." Luchia said in awe.

"Nagisa and Masahiro are lucky to have such beautiful moms." Nikora smiled.

"I just wish I could sing like them." Taki moaned.

"I am speechless." Kaito said.

"It seems that the former mermaid princess can still sing like that even though they have no pearls. Impressive." Hippo said.

The small pink pearl started to glow

Higashi no sora e to habataku toritachi

Saa, takarajima ni nukeru chikamichi

Nanatsu no umi no rakuen

Arashi no yoru no ato ni wa ai wo tsutaerutame inochi ga mata umareru

Nanatsu no kuni no merodia

Daremo ga itsuka wa koko wo tabidatsu hi ga kitemo

Watashi wa wasurenai."

And with that the pearl flashed in pink colour. A shadowy figure appeared.

After the light died down, everyone then saw a beautiful girl with long pink hair asleep. A few minutes later, the girl opened her pink eyes and was a bit dozed off. She then said:

"Where am I?"

Naoki and Yukito ran to her and comforted her.

"Azumi! Azumi! It's us! Remember?! Best friends for life!" Yukito cried.

But Azumi was still a bit confused, "Who are you guys?"

"It's me, Naoki Hamasaki and she is Yukito Shirai." Naoki said.

Suddenly Azumi got out of her drowsiness and said, "Yukito? Naoki? Is that you?"

"It sure is." Yukito smiled.

When she became clear, she cried and hug both of them and said, "I miss you so much! I am sorry for not telling you guys how upset I was."

"It's okay. It's okay." Naoki said.

While the three former mermaid princesses are enjoying each other after seeing Azumi for such a long time, the others who watched it were celebrating and smiling.

"It worked! It really worked!" Hanon happily said.

Luchia was about to run to Azumi but Kaito stopped her saying:

"Luchia. They have seen Azumi after such a long time so let them enjoy themselves for a while."

"Yeah. I am glad Azumi came back to life." Rina smiled.

However, Azumi was a bit upset and asked Naoki and Yukito:

"Why did you guys bring me back to life? I had nothing valuable left in this world."

"Azumi. We had met the current mermaid princesses of our kingdom but the mermaid princess of your kingdom was upset when I told her that you had died and she cried. So we decided to bring you back to life so that you can meet her." Naoki explained.

"Oh really?"

"Yep."

Soon the others came. Luchia ran like a cat and hugged Azumi and cried saying:

"Azumi! I finally get to see you."

"Wait? You succeeded me?" Azumi was puzzled.

She then looked at Luchia oddly but when she saw the pink shell locket at Luchia's neck, she could hardly express her joy and hugged Luchia.

"It is true! I am so glad to meet you!" Azumi cried.

"I am sooo happy! Finally, I can get to see you. The former mermaid princess whom I succedded." Luchia cried as well.

Everyone smiled at them as Azumi and Luchia are overjoyed to see each other. Azumi looked at Hanon and Rina and said:

"You guys are mermaid princesses as well, right?" Azumi asked.

"That's right." Hanon smiled, "I am Hanon Hosho, mermaid princess of the South Atlantic Ocean and the keeper of the aqua pearl. I succedded Yukito."

"And I am Rina Toin, mermaid princess of the North Atlantic Ocean and the keeper of the green pearl. I succedded Naoki." Rina smiled.

"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I am Luchia Nanami." Luchia smiled.

"I see." Azumi smiled.

"Hi! I am Kaito, the Panthalassa Prince." Kaito said.

Azumi was then a bit pissed.

"Huh? What are you doing here? I hope you are not spying on us?" Azumi said angrily.

"Azumi, he is a good prince and he is my boyfriend." Luchia said.

"I don't believe you."

"It's true." Kaito said as he showed his Panthalassa symbol on his forehead which protects someone. Azumi looked at it and after a few minutes, realized that it is true.

"Well what do you know?" Azumi smiled, "It is true. Sorry Kaito. I kinda jump into conclusions."

"It's okay." Kaito smiled.

"How do you get along with him?"

"Very well." Luchia smiled.

Azumi then looked at Nikora and Taki and smiled:

"Taki. It's good to see you after such a long time."

"It's really good to see you, Azumi." Taki smiled.

Then suddenly he heard a voice.

"Azumi-san..."

Azumi then turned and saw Hippo smiling at her. On seeing him, she exploded in anger and rage.

"HIPPO!?"

Everyone jumped after hearing Azumi's angry voice.

"Oh crap!" Yukito and Naoki gulped.

Azumi got up and grabbed Hippo. Hippo shook in fear as she stared at him angrily.

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"

Azumi was about to choke Hippo to death when Yukito, Naoki, Luchia and Kaito broke them apart. Everyone was shocked about what Azumi was about to do to Hippo.

Azumi was trying to spring on Hippo but Naoki and Yukito were holding her tight. Kaito and Luchia were holding Hippo. Hippo was shivering in fear. He never knew that Azumi would want to kill him so badly because of what he did to her.

"LET ME GO! LET ME GO! THAT BASTARD IS THE REASON WHY MY BOYFRIEND BROKE UP WITH ME! I HAVE SUFFERED BECAUSE OF HIM! HE MUST BE PUNISHED!" Azumi shouted in rage!

"Azumi, please come down." Naoki said, "I made Hippo confess. He did admit he hid the book but..."

"But Hippo had experienced tragic events when he was a little penguin." Yukito cried, "Even I was angry when I saw him but when I heard the reasons, I couldn't help but feel ashamed of myself."

"What do you mean by that?!" Azumi was still angry.

Luchia then walked towards Azumi.

"Azumi." Luchia said, "Naoki told us everything about what happened to you. I felt very sad that your boyfriend broke up with you. I understand that Hippo was the cause of your suicide. I was also furious but..."

"Have you heard about Daiyou Takashi?" Kaito asked.

"Ta...Ta...Kashi?" Azumi suddenly gulped.

Everyone nodded.

"Hippo's mom and her guardian whom you succeeded were brutally killed by that beast. He did it right before Hippo's very own eyes." Luchia said which shocked Azumi.

"When he was little?" Azumi gasped in shock.

"Yeah. Hippo couldn't sleep for many days. He cried and cried. He then began to worry about the other mermaid's princess safety as long as Takashi is around." Nikora said.

"But what he did not know was that when you girls were in high school, Takashi was arrested and was executed by the order of the judge. Hippo still didn't go to the land at that time because of what happened at that time." Taki said.

"It was only when I told him that Hippo realized that he is dead." Naoki said.

"Hippo really wanted to see you happy but because of that he didn't do so." Yukito said.

Azumi looked at Hippo not in anger but in sympathy.

"Azumi-san! Please forgive me! It was for my cowardice that I didn't go to the land to hear the news of his death. I could have told you everything." Hippo cried.

Azumi felt sorry for what happened to Hippo. She then remembered that her teacher used to tell the class what happened if a young child witness the murder of his/her parents ans that is mental disorder and Psychological trauma. She then patted Hippo and said:

"I am sorry Hippo about what happened to your mom and her guardian."

"Azumi-san." Hippo said sadly.

"I think I can forgive you. Witnessing the brutal murder at such young age is to much for you handle, right?"

Hippo nodded.

"Well then let's forget about what happened to us in the past. You better not let your new guardian down." Azumi smiled.

"I won't, Azumi." Hippo smiled.

Everyone sighed in relief as Azumi and Hippo fixed their problems that occured in the past.

"But still I still cannot think of the fact that my ex-boyfriend has broken up with me because I didn't tell him about me being a mermaid princess. I lost everything." Azumi said sadly.

"Don't be sad, Azumi." Yukito said, "You may have lost your boyfriend but you still have us, best friends for life!"

"And you have all of us." Luchia smiled.

Azumi looked at everyone's smiling faces. Seeing everyone like that, she couldn't help but smile herself.

"I think we all better go home now." Taki said.

Everyone agreed and they returned home after such a wonderful thimg had happened.

When they returned, Azumi gasped:

"This is where you live?"

"Yeah. Pearl Piari is the name." Luchia said cheerfully.

"Luchia." Nikora said, "Since she is the former mermaid princess, you would have to share your room with her."

"Of course! Azumi, we can talk so many things."

"I would love to." Azumi smiled, "But first I need to get some sleep."

"Sure. This is my room."

"Thanks."

Azumi then went to Luchia's room.

"I better go now. It's nice that she was able to see you guys. See you later Rina." Naoki smiled.

"Bye." Rina said.

Naoki then left.

"I better go to." Yukito said, "Bye guys and catch you later."

"Yukito, wait!" Hanon said.

"Huh?"

"This is something I really want you to talk about."

"Sure. What do you want to know?"

Me: Yep! Azumi comes back to life. I hope everyone is happy. ;-)

*Azumi and Luchia pops out of nowhere!*

Hanon: Luchia!

Yukito: Azumi!

Azumi *smiling*: Finally we all have met. Former meets current.

Luchia: Can't agree with you more.

Naoki: Then how about we take a selfie then?

Rina: Good idea!

*As the former and current mermaid pictures are taking pictures of themselves. I sighed and said.*

Me: See you in Chapter 3. Like and Review please.
