Kaito: So are we ready to do some destruction?!
Nagisa and Masahiro: YEAH!
Voice: Not so fast, RowdyRuff Boys!
Nagisa: Oh God! It can't be!

Kaito: You are...
Luchia: That's right! I am Blossom!
Hanon: I'm Bubbles!

Luchia, Hanon and Rina: AND WE ARE THE POWERPUFF GIRLS!
Masahiro: This is not good.
Luchia: All right girls! Charge!
*Luchia, Hanon and Rina are chasing their respective boyfriends.*
Me: Anyway, I want to thank all of you for continous support by reviwing and liking this story.
For the milliont time, I don't own Mermaid Melody. Just the OCs.
And now let Chapter 5 begin!
Chapter 5: The Mermaid of Hatred.
"What's the warning you want to give, Naoki?" Rina asked.
"I will tell you but first let Hippo come." Naoki said.
A few minutes later, Hippo came back into his original penguin form.
"Hippo?" Azumi asked.
"Don't worry, Azumi-san. Yuri-san is sleeping." Hippo smiled.
Soon everyone is seated, waiting to hear what Naoki's warning will be.
"The thing is that when you guys first saw my son's locket, you were all curious about it." Naoki said, "So I had to tell you guys about the locket but the thing is..."
"What is it?" Rina asked curiously.
"You must never ever let the locket fall into the hands of the water demons."
Eveyone gasped and was surprised.
"What are you saying, Naoki?" Luchia asked surprisingly.
"Of course we will never allow the water demons to get their hands on Hamasaki-san's locket." Hanon said with determination.
"That will never happen." Rina said.
"Certainly we won't allow that." Azumi said.
"Yeah but you sound a bit serious about it." Kaito said.
"Which could mean that the locket will also have some bad sides of it if that happens." Nikora said.
"What are the bad sides of it?" Taki asked.
Naoki took a deep breath before saying this:
"If the locket falls into the hands of the water demons, then the Mermaid of Love locket will become..." Naoki then said in a scary voice with a scary face.
"THE MERMAID OF HATRED!"
Everyone was frightened of Naoki's scary voice and the way she said the name of it.
"The...Mermaid...of...Hatred?" Hippo gulped.
Naoki nodded.
"Well that's a scary name." Rina said.
"What happens to the locket by that name?" Luchia asked.
"The Mermaid of Hatred will happen once the water demons finally have my son's locket in their own hands." Naoki said
Everybody gasped.
"Once that happens, the design of the locket will change. It will become a small mermaid statue carrying two small hearts broken into pieces. It's colour will be black."
"Black? Darkness?" Azumi gulped.
Naoki nodded.
"So that means..." Nikora said before Naoki interrupted.
"If any water demon puts the locket around his or her neck, you guys will be in so big trouble!" Naoki said.
Everyone turned white as soon as they heard it.
"How so?" Luchia asked meekly.
"How so? The powers of the locket are the same but it will flash in black colour which means..." Naoki stopped when she looked at the others before saying this:
"You will be blinded for a few minutes if you attack them."
Everybody gasped.
"You can't attack them if the locket creates a shield of them."
Everybody gasped even louder.
"You can't even hurt them even though you are singing."
This is when everybody got shocked. They can't even hurt the water demons with their singing if they have the locket!
"So that means even though we are singing with all our might, we still won't be able to defeat them?" Hanon asked in shocked.
"As long as they have the locket." Naoki said.
"Oh my. This is so terrible." Azumi said.
"This is really giving me nightmares." Hippo said.
"Wait what happens if Hamasaki-san has the locket instead?" Luchia asked.
"Then no need to worry." Naoki smiled, "You won't be harmed even though the water demons sings at the top of their lungs."
Everybody sighed in relief.
"Well that's a relief." Taki said.
"Even so, the consequences are a bit dangerous." Kaito said.
"Oh by the way." Naoki said, "I'm sorry to tell you this but I have a bad news to tell you Kaito."
"What is it?"
"If the water demons have the locket around their neck and you come face to face with them, I am afraid to say that even your Panthalassa symbol on your forehead won't be enough to defeat the locket power."
Everyone was shocked.
"So you are saying that even the locket's power is powerful than the Panthalassa symbol?" Kaito was shocked.
Naoki nodded.
"Oh My God!" Azumi said.
"Wait! So suppose we are attacked by Gaito and he comes face to face with the locket power using his Panthalassa symbol. Then that means is he helpless as well if the locket is on the good side?" Luchia asked.
Naoki nodded.
"Gaito, Mikeru and others should be grateful that they haven't face Masahiro's Mermaid Of Love locket power." Rina said.
"Yeah." Hanon said, "Otherwise they will need to go and have an eye surgery."
Everyone laughed.
"But if Hamasaki-san was there before and had they known about the Mermaid of Hatred locket if it falls on their hands, they will send the Dark Lovers or the water demons to attack him and take his locket." Luchia said.
"Well we can say for now that Masahiro is safe." Azumi said.
"But we still can't let our guard down." Hippo said, "A new enemy and their water demons might appear soon and what if they might set their sights on Masahiro's locket which could be the difference between our victory and their victory?"
"Or on Nagisa's mermaid flute?" Hanon gulped.
"Then, it both cases, we are in big trouble."
"So we need to remain firm and make sure they don't get hurt." Nikora said.
"And make sure that the boys can't get their precious mermaid objects stolen, right?" Taki asked.
Everybody agreed.
"Oh and one other thing." Naoki said.
"What is that?" Rina asked.
"As you all know by now, when my son puts on his locket and he wanted to watch the scene, everything becomes green within his distance, right?"
"Wow! Really?" Azumi said.
"Oh! I think you didn't know about that. You got it now right?"
"Yep."
"We all know about it." Hanon said.
"So what about it?" Rina asked.
"Well the thing is that if any water demons enter his Green Zone, something will happen to them." Naoki said.
"What could it be?" Hippo asked.
"Make a guess."
Everyone thought for a minute.
"Will they blow up?" Azumi asked.
"Nope." Naoki said.
"Will they become statues?" Hanon asked.
"Nope."
"They will become small like mice?" Luchia squealed.
Naoki shooked her head.
"They will become monsters?!" Taki gulped which made everyone laugh.
"No way." Naoki said.
"Their powers will be weakened?" Kaito asked.
"Close enough." Naoki said which made everyone thought that Kaito has found a part of the answer.
"I don't know Naoki-san." Hippo said.
"Same here." Nikora said.
"Will they become dizzy?" Rina asked.
"Almost." Naoki said.
Everyone was a bit surprised.
"So what does it do?" Rina asked.
"If any water demons are in the Green Zone, they will experience dizziness, drowsiness, loss of vision and they will be weak." Naoki said.
Everyone said looked at Naoki with happy faces.
"Really? That means..." Luchia said before Naoki interrupted.
"You will be able defeat them easily if they are in the Green Zone." Naoki smiled.
Everybody cheered.
"But on the other hand." Naoki said, "If any water demons wear that locket around their neck, everything will become black within their distance and if you guys are in the Black Zone, you will experience the same sympothesis."
Everybody gulped all of a sudden.
"That's all the warning I give it to you." Naoki said.
"I wonder why Yukito left." Hanon said, "She should have listen those warnings."
"She already knows it. Especially her son."
"Oh!"
"So it seems that the locket's power are the same." Rina said.
"Yeah and only its appearance and the colour will be different." Kaito said.
"So let me get this straight." Azumi said, "If the locket is in Masahiro's hand, the locket will be called The Mermaid of Love and the colour of it will be green and the water demons will be very affected by it. If it is on the hands of the water demons, it will be called The Mermaid of Hatred and the colour of it will be black and we will be very affected by it, right?"
Naoki nodded.
"Naoki." Nikora smiled, "Thank you so much for giving this information to us."
"Yes, Naoki-san." Hippo said, "Your co-operation with us will certainly protect ourselves, your family and others as well."
"Naoki. One more thing." Rina said, "Is it possible to change the locket from Mermaid of Hatred to Mermaid of Love back again?"
"Yep." Naoki smiled.
"How so?"
"Simple. Take it back if they are not wearing it."
"Oh?"
Everybody laughed.
"Well I have to go now." Naoki said, "Bye and take care."
Naoki then left.
"Well that was a bit frightening." Azumi said.
"It sure is." Luchia said, "Kaito? Are you okay?"
"Still stunned by the fact that Masahiro's locket power is powerful than my Panthalassa symbol power." Kaito said.
"I wonder if Masahiro knows that his locket will be at risk falling into the wrong hands." Rina thought as she listened to others talking about it.
There was no school on the next day. So Rina walked outside, thinking about many things: Masahiro's locket, its dangers, her future with Masahiro, etc. Suddenly, she saw two boys chatting on the river which is non other than Masahiro and his best friend, Kazama. The two boys were chatting over something which Rina doesn't know. After Kazama left, Masahiro sat down and took the locket from his school bag. Rather than wearing it around his neck, he simply looked at it. Rina smiled for a moment and took out her shell locket. She then walked straight to Masahiro and gave a pat on his head.
"Rina?" Masahiro was startled.
"Yep. It's me." Rina smiled before sitting close to Masahiro.
"Well it's good to see you. What brings you here?"
Rina smiled at Masahiro before saying,
"Your mom told me about the dangers of this locket if it falls on the hands of the water demons. It's called..."
"The Mermaid of Hatred, right?" Masahiro asked.
"How did you know?" Rina was surprised.
"Mom told me everything when she first gave me this locket."
"I see." Rina said when she suddenly saw Masahiro's worried face.
"Masahiro? What's wrong?" Rina asked worriedly.
Masahiro first looked at the locket before saying, "I am just worried about that anytime the water demons might start searching for my locket and they might attack me."
"..."
"Rina? Do you have enemies?"
"We used do. Gaito, Mikeru and others. Your mom told you about them, right?"
Masahiro nodded.
"Don't worry, Masahiro." Rina said.
"Rina?" Masahiro was puzzled.
Rina stood up and the knelt down, facing him. She then put her shell locket in Masahiro's right hand where the Mermaid of Locket is. She then said this while holding Masahiro's right hand:
"The water demons will never get your locket in their hands. We are all there for you."
"Rina." Masahiro said slowly.
"Even though I act like a tomboy, my feelings for you are crystal clear. I love you and always will. This locket will always be on the good side."
"..."
"If your mom hadn't seen me singing, I would have been so lonely and heartbroken and I am glad she was able to see me so that I can be with you. Also the fact that your ancestor built the shrine between mermaids and humans."
"Rina.."
"We, the mermaid princess, protect the ones we love and cherish which includes you. Everyone in my school idolize me and worship me but my eyes are only for you."
They remain silent, smiling each other, for a few minutes. Suddenly Masahiro hugs Rina and smiles.
"You better keep that promise, my princess." Masahiro said.
"I will, my prince." Rina smiled as she hugged back.
"Hey Rina? You want to see the green night sky with me?"
"Really? I will love too."
Me: Looks like Chapter 5 is done.
*Roar of laughter can be heard*.
Me: God! What's the laughing all about.
*Rushed and smiled as I saw Luchia, Hanon and Rina at top of Kaito, Nagisa and Masahiro. All of them are laughing.*
Me *smiling*: Well it seems that do care for each other a lot.
Anyway, Chapter 6 is coming soon and it's gonna be a pretty long one. Untill then, review and like please.
