Me: I am so sorry, people! I had lots of work to do but Chapter 6 is here.
Nagisa *smiling*: Seems like I have lots of fans.
Kaito: Huh? What do you mean by lots of fans?
Me: This chapter was first requested by David Long, who is one of the followers of my story. He pleaded me to do this chapter and with some other people requesting as well, I thought it would be fair to do so.
Masahiro: Lucky you, Nagisa.
Kaito: Anyway, Zahir890 would like to thank you all for being patience and also expressed his thanks to the ones who continue to review, follow and like the story.
Masahiro: Also, he does not own Mermaid Melody. Just the OCs.
Me: Enjoy Chapter 6!
Nagisa: Enjoy.
Chapter 6: Meeting Nagisa's ancestors.
Hanon is trying to sleep but she can't sleep. She is having another nightmare. The nightmare is taking place when Hanon didn't know much about Nagisa at that time and when she totally hated him before:
Hanon is storming out of the music room after shouting at Nagisa. She is very pissed.
"That kid pisses me off! Who gave him the guts to come here and interrupt Kaito playing?!"
Suddenly all the surroundings became black. Hanon was a bit frightened.
"Who turned off the lights? Turn it on!" Hanon shouted when suddenly a ghostly voice came and said,
"He pisses you off? You pissed me even more!"
"Who's there?" Hanon asked frighteningly.
Suddenly a ghost appeared. His face is not visible so Hanon cannot see what he looks like. He appears in blue spirit.
"The most despicable thing I have ever seen in my life from you." the ghost said.
"Who are you?" Hanon demanded.
"I am Kandou Shirai, Nagisa's ancestor."
Hanon was a bit shocked but she said.
"Well then you better go and tell your descendant to go and behave properly and go look for someone else."
"It's not him. IT'S YOU who will need to learn how to behave properly." another voice came. Another blue spirit appeared which was the aqua mermaid princess.
"Who are you?!"
"Long time ago mermaid princess of your kingdom of course!"
"It's a honor to meet you then."
"I don't feel honored!"
"Why not?"
"You are a really despicable mermaid princess who tried to take one man who is already in love with someone else and rejecting your suitor who is the descendant of the man who saved our race!"
Hanon was shocked.
"What do you mean?"
Soon Kandou Shirai and the aqua mermaid princess showed Hanon in a big screen. Here, it shows how Kandou Shirai saved the mermaids with just a tap on the ground which exterminated the water demons.
"This handsome young man saved us. It it wasn't for him, I would never have been there nor would you, right Kandou?"
"Exactly." Kandou Shirai said.
Hanon trembled. She couldn't believe it! Nagisa is the descendant of the man who saved the mermaids. What has she done?
"I've got to apologize to Nagisa now!" Hanon panicked.
"You're too late." Kandou said, "This is what happened after you shouted at him."
Another scene showed that a indigo haired girl who is in the same age as Nagisa comforted him. Later, Hanon saw, to her shock, that they are now holding hands!
After seeing this, Hanon began to cry.
"This is all your fault!" the mermaid princess said.
"Yeah and it would have been miracle that my descendant has fallen in love with the mermaid princess, right?" Kandou asked.
"Yeah."
"Please bring Nagisa back to me." Hanon pleaded, "I don't know anything about him. I'm sorry."
"Sorry. There's nothing we can do." Kandou said.
"Yeah and you will have to suffer the punishment as a result." the aqua mermaid princess said.
"Why? What punishment? Hey wait!" Hanon shouted with tears in her eyes but the spirits has disappeared.
Seconds later, many red eyes are appearing in front of Hanon. Hanon leaped in fright. She knew that these red eyes belong to the water demons.
"I'm helpless." Hanon said meekly when suddenly she was being pulled by a long leg.
Hanon turned back and saw many water demons are laughing and pulling her, ready to do something dangerous to her. Hanon tried to resist but it's no use.
"Nagisa. Help! I'm hopeless..."
"NAGISA! PLEASE HELP ME!" Hanon shouted with tears in her eyes as she immediately woke herself up from the bed at night. The next thing she realized, it was all a nightmare. But still that nightmare almost frightened her to death.
Hanon's loud crying scream caused Luchia, Rina and Azumi to run to her room. They saw Hanon in tears.
"Hanon? What's wrong? Are you okay?" Luchia was very worried.
"Oh Luchia! I had another nightmare. Even more worse than that."
"Don't worry. You are safe with us." Azumi said, "Just tell us."
Later, Hanon told them about her nightmare which almost frightened them.
"Oh my! That is terrible." Azumi gasped.
"I know right?" Hanon cried, "What have I done?"
"So you are saying that after you shouted at Nagisa, you stormed out only the room only to find out that you are in complete darkness. Then Nagisa's ancestors spirits came and started cursing you even showing you that Nagisa is now with another girl. They left and the water demons came and pounced on you, right?" Rina asked.
"Oh God! If only I had known a lot about him before."
"It's okay, Hanon. You don't have to worry anymore." Luchia smiled.
"Eh? What do you mean by that?"
They looked at Luchia.
"You have hated Nagisa in the past. Now that's all past. Now both of you should look forward to the future." Luchia said.
"Really?" Hanon asked.
"Yeah." Azumi said, "You now a know lot about Nagisa. His family, his mermaid flute, his ancestors, etc. You do have eyes for him."
"I do! I really do! If only Nagisa had appeared before and if I knew a lot about him, even though I liked Taro-chan, we would all had been great friends."
"Hanon, calm down." Rina said, "You now have Nagisa. No one else can take his place. You guys are unbreakable."
"Thank you Rina."
"Yeah." Azumi smiled, "I bet his ancestors will now be smiling at you."
"Let's all go back to bed and try to remove that from your head, Hanon." Luchia said.
"I hope so."
So they all went back to bed and slept.
Morning:
After having breakfast and cleaning the room, everyone was having a bit of a discussion. Nikora and Hippo are a bit worried about Hanon after she said that she had another nightmare which she told about it.
"Seems that you are having trouble sleeping these days." Nikora sighed.
"Hanon-san? Are you really okay being with Nagisa?" Hippo, who is in his human form, asked which made everyone gasped.
"What are saying?! Of course I am alright with him." Hanon exclaimed.
"I really feel sorry about what happened to your boyfriend at that time." Yuri said after Hanon told Yuri everything about Nagisa during breakfast, "What's his name again?"
"His name is Nagisa Shirai, son of the former mermaid princess of the South Atlantic Ocean, Yukito Shirai, whom I succeeded."
"Wow! It's a miracle, isn't it?"
"It's a SUPER MIRACLE I should say."
Everybody laughed. Suddenly there was a door knock.
"I'll get it." Luchia sighed and when she opened the door, it's none other than Nagisa Shirai.
"Ohaiyo! Nagisa." Luchia cheerfully said.
"Nagisa!" Hanon said happily as she ran and flung her arms around him.
"Hanon." Nagisa smiled.
"Good to see you again, buddy." Kaito said as he slapped high fives with Nagisa.
"Hey! How are things going?" Rina asked.
"Perfectly fine." Nagisa smiled.
Everyone then saw the Mermaid Flute in Nagisa's right hand.
"Wow! Is that the Mermaid Flute your mom told us about?" Nikora asked curiously.
Nagisa nodded.
"Can we see it?" Taki asked.
"Sure." Nagisa said as he handed over his flute to them so that they can see it. They stared in awe at the design of the flute.
"OMG! The flute is so beautiful!" Luchia exclaimed.
"Yeah and it's in aqua colour." Nikora smiled.
"Look. There's a small aqua mermaid statue at the side of the flute." Kaito said.
"It sure is." Rina said.
"Nagisa, you better make sure that no one takes your flute after what happened to you." Taki said.
"Of course, I won't." Nagisa said.
As the others are looking at the flute, Hanon, who saw the flute before, chatted with Nagisa.
"So what brings you here?" Hanon cheerfully asked.
"I want to take somewhere with you." Nagisa said.
"Really? Where?"
"Not now. It's a secret."
"Okay."
"Hey, Nagisa." Kaito called.
"Yep. What is it?" Nagisa asked.
"I want to give you this." Kaito said as he handed a wrist band to Nagisa. The wrist band is in aqua colour.
"Sign of best buddies." Kaito smiled.
"You brought this?" Nagisa asked.
"Yep."
"The Green one is for who?"
"Masahiro Hamasaki." Rina smiled.
"Thanks Kaito. I'll be sure to wear it."
"Your welcome, Nagisa." Kaito said.
"Ohaiyo Nagisa!" Yuri said cheerfully.
Nagisa stared at her oddly.
"Eh? Who are you?" Nagisa asked.
"Gomenosai. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Yuri." Yuri smiled, "And you must be Nagisa Shirai, son of the former mermaid princess, Yukito Shirai, and the holder of the Mermaid Flute."
"How do you know all those?"
"They told me so."
"I see. Glad to meet you."
All of a sudden, Nagisa was a bit shocked and stared at Yuri.
"Hey wait a minute! Aren't you one of the..."
Hippo, in his human form, ran and covered Yuri just in case.
"Long short story, Nagisa." Hippo said and then pleaded, "Please don't hurt Yuri. She changed."
"So Hippo. It seems like you are in your human form." Nagisa said.
Everyone was surprised.
"How did you know?" Nikora asked.
"Mom told me."
"Oh!"
Nagisa went closer to Hippo to check on his height. It seems like Nagisa is taller than Hippo.
"Well." Nagisa proudly said, "It seems like that l am still taller than you. You need to go and grow yourself."
Everybody laughed and Hippo blushed. Kaito gave the flute back to Nagisa.
"So Hanon. Ready to go?" Nagisa asked.
"Yeah! You bet." Hanon said happily.
"Hanon? Where are you going?" Luchia asked.
"It's a secret." Hanon winked and then she left with Nagisa.
A few seconds later, Azumi came. She took a bath and was relaxing.
"Who came here?" Azumi asked.
"Bad luck, Azumi." Luchia said, "Yukito's son came."
"Yukito's son?! You mean Nagisa Shirai?!"
"Yep." Rina said.
"Why didn't anyone tell me that he came?"
"I tried to call you but you locked the door." Nikora said.
"Locked the door? Oh man! What luck."
Azumi rued herself in which everybody laughed.
"Luchia, I think it's good that Nagisa didn't see her." Kaito asked.
"Why so?" Luchia asked.
"If he did, he would have been in shock and could have fainted."
"I see."
Nagisa and Hanon are riding the bike. Hanon is still unsure where Nagisa is taking her but decided to remain patience. She, however asked.
"Um? Nagisa?"
"Yep?" Nagisa said.
"About Yuri whom you were just about to confront."
"Oh her?"
"How did you know about her?"
"When the South Atlantic Ocean Kingdom was attacked, my mom, at that time, went back to the kingdom and stayed there for a while to make sure everything was okay." Nagisa explained, "After sometime, she came back and told me and my dad that a silver-haired freak and his companion name so called Dark Lovers attacked the kingdom. Her friend told her that one of the Dark Lovers was Yuri."
"I see but Hippo is in love with her and he thought you might do something bad to her because of what happened so he rushed to protect her. Please forgive Yuri for what she did."
"I wasn't going to attack her."
"Really?"
"Yeah. My mom told me that she was seeking forgiveness so she forgave her."
"I know."
"Tell Yuri that her son forgives you as well."
"I will tell her."
They continue to cycle for a few minutes.
"Seems like we are going for a pretty long ride." Hanon said.
"Yeah." Nagisa said but then asked, "You know something?"
"What is it?"
"Ever since my mom met you and showed you and others the law which you didn't know, she's always meeting you and others and always non-stop talking to me and my dad about what you guys did except..."
"My first meeting with your mom, the mermaid flute and the incident you faced."
"Yeah. Those things."
"And the fact that Azumi was brought back alive." Hanon thought.
After a few minutes:
"We are here." Nagisa said.
They are now in the forest with many green trees. Nagisa took Hanon to a big tree.
"This is the tree where my ancestor first found the Sea Godness's staff." Nagisa pointed out.
"Wow! I never thought that this tree can live so long." Hanon said.
"That's why it's called The Legendary Tree."
"The Legendary Tree?"
Nagisa nodded.
Hanon then immediately realized where Nagisa is taking her. Nagisa is taking her to meet his ancestors. Happy tears are starting to come from her eyes.
"I can't believe it." Hanon thought happily, "Nagisa is going to take me to meet his ancestor who saved our mermaid race. I am so happy."
"Hanon? What's wrong?" Nagisa asked.
"Nagisa?" Hanon asked, "Are you taking me to that day where your ancestor saved the mermaid race?"
"So you have finally found out, huh?"
At an instant, Hanon cried happily and hugged Nagisa yet again.
"Nagisa! Thank you so much!" Hanon said happily.
"Your welcome." Nagisa smiled.
"Why do you want to take me there?"
"Well, Masahiro told me that he and Rina were able to go and meet their ancestors and they got their blessing there. So, I thought that I should take you to meet my ancestor since he brought peace to the sea untill that silver haired freak attacked your and other's kingdom."
"Thank you but how do we get there?"
"Wait and see."
Nagisa then took his mermaid flute and said to Hanon:
"Hanon." Nagisa said, "Once I began playing, you will have to sing after a few seconds. Okay?"
"Okay." Hanon winked.
Nagisa then began to play the tune of 'Pearls of Mermaid' in which Hanon instantly recognized. After waiting for a few seconds, she began to sing:
Nanatsu no umi no kanata ni kitto kagayaku
Inochi no rakuen wo mezasu monogatari
Habataku tori no yukue ni kitto mitsukaru
Sono yume wo daite tabi ni deta
Himitsu no irie de hirotta takara no chizu ni
Mada darenimo mienai
Seiza ga hitotsu hikatta
A blue portal slowly began to open in front of the legendary tree.
Nanatsu no umi no monogatari koko kara hajimari
Kiseki wo ikutsu mo meguri mata modoru darou?
Ooki na tabi ga owaru koro otona ni nattemo
Kokoro no takarabako ni.. Songs of Mermaid
Finally the blue portal open. Hanon stopped singing while Nagisa stopped playing.
"Come on Hanon." Nagisa said as he grabbed Hanon's hand and together they jumped onto the blue portal.
"Hanon? Are you alright?"
Hanon opened her eyes and saw that she is resting on Nagisa's lap. Hanon blushed but smiled.
"Where are we?" Hanon asked.
"The day that my ancestor saved the mermaid race." Nagisa said.
"Wow! Really?"
"Yep."
At an instant she got up and said,
"Let's go find your ancestor, Nagisa. I can't wait to see what your ancestor, Kandou Shirai, looks like. He could be cute like you, he..."
"Hanon, come down." Nagisa said, "We don't want the others to hear about it."
"Oops. Gomenosai."
So they began to walk quietly so that other people can't hear. When they are in the river, Hanon said:
"I wonder what's happening in the sea. Let's go dive, Nagisa."
"Hanon, don't!" Nagisa warned, "There are lot of water demons at that time. It's unsafe."
"Still..."
Under The Sea:
Hanon dived into the water, changing into her mermaid form. Nagisa sighed and dived as well, changing into his prince form.
"Hanon, be careful." Nagisa said, "This was infested by the water demons at that time."
"I'm not afraid as long as you are with me." Hanon smiled as she hold Nagisa's hands.
Suddenly, there was an evil laughing voice.
"Well? Well? If it isn't another pretty mermaid?"
Hanon and Nagisa saw, to their fright, that it was an army of water demons looking at them with an evil smiles on their faces.
"And look there's a cute human boy trying to protect her." another water demon said.
"I say let's go and eat their flesh!" the leader proclaimed.
The water demons nodded and started to charge towards Hanon and Nagisa.
"Hanon! Run!" Nagisa shouted as they began to swim like a wind. Luckily, Hanon grabbed Nagisa and swam faster. The leader of the water demons threw a spear but missed them by inches in which he rued himself about this.
Land:
"Oh man." Nagisa was saying between breaths, "We barely made it."
"The way they charged as us." Hanon said, "They might had not speared us."
"I know."
All of a sudden they heard a voice saying:
"Hmm! So what is the staff used for? It has to be valuable at something."
Hanon and Nagisa immediately realized that voice.
"Could it be?" Hanon gasped.
"That's my ancestor, Kandou Shirai." Nagisa said, "Let's go Hanon."
So they followed the voice of Nagisa's ancestor. After a few minutes, there they saw him scratching his head while the staff is in his hands. They hid behind a tree to take a peep look. That is Kandou Shirai.
Kandou Shirai has a medium long hair. They could only see him from behind. He also wears what the ordinary people used to wear in Feudal Japan.
"Wow Nagisa." Hanon said, "His hair colour almost the same as yours."
"I know." Nagisa said.
Kandou was staring at the staff for few minutes and then said:
"It's a bit strange that this staff can't do anything but..."
He then raised the staff and said
"...If only I could be the Emperor of Japan, I would make every living things live happily as they be."
And then he tapped the staff on the ground. Suddenly, a bright light suddenly appeared from the staff all of a sudden.
"Whoa!" Kandou was surprised and fell down to the ground. He landed a bit hard and was dozed off for a minutes.
Nagisa and Hanon rushed to see if Kandou is okay. Kandou has lots of bangs in his hair.
"Kandou! Kandou! Are you okay?" Nagisa called.
"Please wake up." Hanon pleaded.
"Yeah. I am...a...bit...okay." Kandou said, still a bit doze off.
When Kandou opened his eyes, his eyes colour is dark blue, just like Nagisa's eyes. When he finally woke up, he first stared at them oddly and said:
"Who are..." Kandou was about to ask when he saw Nagisa suddenly, he was shocked that his hair colour and his eye colour are almost similar.
"OMG! Are you my descendant?" Kandou asked.
That caught Nagisa by surprise, "How did you know?"
"Your eyes and hair colour are the same as mine. What's your name?"
"Nagisa Shirai."
"Shirai?!"
Nagisa smiled.
Kandou was incredibly so happy that he met his descendant. He got up and started shaking hands with him before hugging Nagisa tightly.
"This is unbelievable. I have met my descendant!" Kandou said happily.
"Hey! You're chocking me to death." Nagisa said while struggling to break free.
"Oops. Sorry." Kandou apologized and then released Nagisa.
Then when Kandou looked at Hanon, he was also in shock.
"Are you the current mermaid princess?"
Now it was Hanon's turn to get shocked, "How did you know about that?"
"My mother told be that whoever is wearing the shell locket must mean that they are the current mermaid princess."
"I see."
"What's your name?"
"Hanon Hosho."
Kandou then hugged both Nagisa (again!) and Hanon. He is beaming with excitement.
"This is so amazing!" Kandou said happily, "Not only I have met my descendant but the current mermaid princess as well."
"Your ancestor is sure a hugging type, right?" Hanon sighed.
"You can say that again." Nagisa sighed.
After a few minutes, Kandou released both Hanon and Nagisa as they are gasping for breathe.
"What did you guys come here for?" Kandou asked.
"We came to visit you." Nagisa said, "Our friends were able to meet their ancestor so I decided that we should meet you as well."
"Good thing. By the way Hanon, since you are the current mermaid princess, do you have any idea how does this staff work?'
"I have no idea." Hanon said. Although she knows it right now, she didn't want to spoil their visit by telling him directly about the staff.
"I see. Come with me then. I will make sure that no one see you. I might have to see what's wrong with the staff ever since it gave a flash when I just tapped it on the ground."
Both Nagisa and Hanon gladly accepted Kandou's kind request and they went with him, carrying the staff.
"Wow! Kandou Shirai is a really nice guy, unlike in my nightmare. He is really cute and adorable, just like my Nagisa." Hanon thought happily as she went with them.
Making sure that no one is seeing Nagisa and Hanon, Kandou lead them to his pit-dwelling house. Once they are inside, Kandou puts the staff inside the box just in case.
"Do you live alone?" Nagisa said.
"Well yeah. I do." Kandou sighed.
"You are a bit young as a adult to live alone. What happened to your parents?" Hanon asked.
"Well..they disappeared."
Hanon and Nagisa are shocked.
"Disappeared?!" Both Hanon and Nagisa are shocked.
Kandou nodded sadly.
"How did they disappear?" Nagisa gasped.
"When I was at your age, my mother and father left for some reason which they never told me about it." Kandou explained, "They hadn't come back for many days."
"Didn't you call the others for help?" Hanon asked
"Yes I did. Many people knew my father well so they started searching for him. Alas, they told me that they couldn't find neither my father nor my mother. It's a strange disappearance."
Both Nagisa and Hanon are sad when they heard it.
"It's very sad that you lost your parents. Don't you feel lonely?" Hanon asked sadly.
"Well I did feel lonely at first." Kandou said, "But now I don't. I am now suitable to living alone though I do miss my parents."
"I feel sorry for you." Nagisa said sadly.
"Thank you. Do you guys need anything?"
"No thanks. We are fine by ourselves."
"How about you stay with me for today?"
Nagisa and Hanon are surprised.
"Really?" Hanon was excited.
Kandou smiled. However, Nagisa hesitated a bit because his parents and Hanon's friends might be very worried about them. Hanon and Nagisa had a few minutes discussion.
"It's okay, Nagisa." Hanon smiled, "We don't have school tomorrow."
"But my parents and your friends will be very worried about us." Nagisa said
"They will believe us when we said that we met your ancestor."
Nagisa thought for a moment before smiling, "Okay then."
"Kandou, thanks for your kind hospitality." Nagisa said.
"Anything for my descendant and the current mermaid princess." Kandou smiled.
Soon Kandou provided them a good night sleep. Hanon now knows that she no longer needs to fear about her nightmare about Kandou.
The next day:
Hanon and Nagisa woke up only to find a bright white light coming by.
"Better you should hide somewhere." Kandou warned, "It may be a trap."
Although Nagisa and Hanon knew what the bright white light is, they agreed to hide somewhere. After a few minutes, the Sea Godness appeared with a smile on her face. Like Aqua Regina, she too is also beautiful and her beautiful orange hair flows by. She smiled at a frightened Kandou.
"It's nice to meet you, Kandou Shirai." The Sea Godness smiled.
"Who...Who are you?" Kandou gulped.
"Please don't be afraid, Kandou. I won't hurt you. I came to give my big thanks to you that you were able to save both races in the hands of the water demons."
Kandou was surprised all of a sudden, "What do you mean by that?"
"There was a war between mermaids and water demons that started long time ago. The water demons had an upper hand on the mermaids and the mermaid race was in a brink of extinction. They even threw my staff outside."
"Wait! So the staff was yours?"
"Yes and when you tap the staff on the ground, the bright light flashed all off a sudden as you saw. All the water demons were exterminated as a result. If you weren't there, then the water demons would have destroyed us. Then they would have gone on to destroy the humans as well."
All of a sudden Kandou couldn't believe it! He actually saved both humans and mermaids from further attacks by the water demons. He was so happy!
"Can I have my staff back?" The Sea Godness said.
"Give me a second." Kandou said as he rushed to open the box, picked up the staff and gave it to her. The Sea Godness smiled and before she left, she said this:
"Kandou Shirai. From now on, you will forever be known as the Saviour of the Mermaids. Farewell."
And then she left.
Hanon and Nagisa then came out of their hiding place and saw Kandou is kneeling down stunned.
"Kandou?" Hanon asked.
All of a sudden, Kandou was beaming with excitement. He suddenly jumped up and said:
"I have saved the Mermaid Race!"
"You sure did." Hanon smiled.
"And because of that, we are saved too."
"All right." Nagisa said happily.
"This is incredible! I am so glad that you are a descendant of me, the proud Shirai family will be greatly known as the one who saved the mermaid and human race at the same time!" Kandou was so happy that he hugged Nagisa.
"I think we already knew that before." Nagisa said slowly which made Hanon giggled.
"I HAVE SAVED THE MERMAID RACE! I HAVE SAVED THE HUMAN RACE! WHOO-HOO!" Kandou suddenly ran around outside, jumping like crazy and shouting "EUREKA!"
"Sorry about that." Nagisa said, "Seems like he can get a bit excited sometimes."
"It's okay." Hanon smiled, "After all I am so happy that you are the descendant of Kandou."
Both Nagisa and Hanon smiled as they continued to watch Kandou dancing around.
In the evening, Kandou took Nagisa and Hanon to the same scene where they first met him and where Kandou indirectly saved the mermaid and human race. The river is now blue and beautiful unlike a bit black when there was water demons.
"Wow! The sea now looks very beautiful than before." Hanon said happily.
"Yeah and it's all thanks to you." Nagisa smiled.
"Thanks guys." Kandou said.
All of a sudden there was a voice saying:
"Kandou Shirai? Is that you?"
All three of them turned and they saw a beautiful aqua-haired mermaid waving at him with her long aqua-coloured hair flowing by. She smiled at him. Kandou was awe-struck at the sight of her.
"OMG." Kandou said slowly as his dark blue eyes turned into love hearts.
"Wow. Love at first sight." Nagisa said in which Hanon giggled.
They went to her as she smiles at them.
"So you must be Kandou Shirai, the Saviour of Mermaids, right?" The aqua mermaid princess smiled.
"How did you know?" Kandou was surprised.
"The Sea Godness told me so I wanted to meet you. You look quite cute and handsome."
"Uh..thanks."
The aqua mermaid princess then smiled at Nagisa.
"So you must be the descendant of Kandou, right?"
"How did you know?" Nagisa was shocked.
"Except your hair style, your hair colour and eye colour is the same as him."
"It sure is. I am Nagisa Shirai."
"Nice to meet you and you must be the current mermaid princess of our kingdom, right?"
"Yes." Hanon smiled, "I am Hanon Hosho."
"I see."
"Hey! What's this?" Kandou said as he pointed out the flute that the aqua mermaid is holding.
"Oh! That's the Mermaid Flute I want to give you as a reward for saving us."
"Wow! Thanks!"
"I think you have the Mermaid Flute as well, right Nagisa?"
"You sure have some sharp eyes." Nagisa said as he took out his Mermaid Flute.
"Wow. I bet you must have a wonderful time with the flute." Kandou said happily.
"Yeah but..."
Nagisa looked down gleefully.
"Nagisa, what's wrong?" The aqua mermaid princess said.
"Nagisa?" Hanon said sadly.
Nagisa nodded.
"Well you see. What happened was that something terrible had happened to him when he was 8 years old and the reason was that someone really wanted to get their hands on his mermaid flute." Hanon said.
"Only 8?!" Kandou was shocked.
"Tell us what happened to you at that day, Nagisa." The aqua mermaid princess said.
Nagisa then explained what happened to him at that day: He was pretty popular at that time due to his good looks and for the Mermaid Flute he plays. However, Watashi demanded him to hand over him the flute which Nagisa refused. Watashi then contacted with his mother and father and they all agreed to kill him so that they can sell it. The plan backfired, however, as the police nearby came and arrested the two criminals and the whole Watashi family. That hurted Nagisa physically and mentally as he refuses to play in front of everyone except his parents and those who helped him.
Both Kandou and the aqua mermaid princess were totally shocked and saddened when they heard Nagisa's narration.
"Wahhh! That was so sad." Kandou cried, "My descendant almost died by that brute just for the Mermaid Flute."
"I feel really sad that this has happened to you." The aqua mermaid princess said, "But you should be grateful that you told us about this."
"What makes you say that?" Nagisa asked.
"I have a solution to your problem."
Kandou, Nagisa and Hanon looked at her with surprise.
"Really?" Hanon asked.
"Yes." The aqua mermaid princess said, "Nagisa, your flute."
Nagisa then handed over the Mermaid Flute to her. The aqua mermaid princess then chanted a few words which they didn't understand. After that, the flute flashed in blue colour and when it died down, the small aqua mermaid statue was glowing in aqua colour.
"Nagisa." The aqua mermaid princess said as she gave the mermaid flute back, "When this small statue glows, it inticate that you are in a Danger Zone. You may be watched or get attacked anytime. This will glow when your life will be in danger."
Both Nagisa and Hanon are surprised but were extremely happy. Nagisa's Mermaid Flute has now gained a new power: Sensing any danger that can happen to Nagisa.
"But what if I am not in the danger zone?" Nagisa asked.
"It will stop glowing then. As long as you are in the Danger Zone, it will glow." The aqua mermaid smiled.
"Nagisa. I am so happy." Hanon said happily as she hugged Nagisa, "Now you don't need to be afraid of getting attacked ever again."
"Yeah. You can simply run away from danger if it glows." Kandou said.
"Thanks, people." Nagisa smiled
"Kandou? Shall we?" The aqua mermaid princess said.
Kandou nodded as he began to play the flute of the tune of the unknown song. Few minutes later, Nagisa joined in too. As both of them are playing, Hanon and the aqua mermaid princess were enjoying it.
"Why don't you come and visit us someday?" The aqua mermaid princess smiled.
"I would love to." Hanon smiled.
After saying goodbye to Kandou Shirai and the aqua mermaid princess, Nagisa and Hanon went back to their own time through the blue portal. By the time they reached there, it was quite dark.
"Hanon. Let's back to our homes. They might be very worried about us." Nagisa said.
"Yeah." Hanon said.
So they rushed back to Nagisa's bicycle which was still there ever since they left. Sighing in relief, they cycled their way home.
Note:
1. Pit-dwelling house is a type of house in which columns are inserted into a big hole dug in the ground surrounded by grass.
2. The song that Hanon sang is called 'Pearls of Mermaid'.
Me: Yep. The end of Chapter 6.
Kaito *sad*: Nagisa has Taoki, Masahiro has Shizuro. What about me?
Me: He will be coming soon.
Kaito: Really?
Nagisa: Better not be that silver-haired freak.
Kaito: Hey! How dare you call my brother a silver-hair freak?!
Nagisa: Because he, with his Dark Lovers, attacked my mom's kingdom and Masahiro's mom kingdom, right?
Masahiro: Yep.
Kaito: But still...
Me: Anyway, Chapter 7 is coming soon.
Masahiro: And untill then, review and like.
