Four done one to go

Next morning:

Melody opens her eyes at the sound of her alarm clock. Then she hears the thunder.

Melody sits up.

Melody: Great! So it's raining now! Uhhhh!!!!

She lays down on her bed again.

Melody: And I was planning to do some training too... life sucks!

She grabs her cell phone and calls Su.

Melody: Hey, good morning... what are you doing?

Su: Having breakfast. Why?

Melody: Can I come over? 

Su: Yeah sure, should I call the others?

Melody: I don't see why not, I'm dead bored!

Su: That's new.

Melody: Come on! I was hoping to train today and now it's rainin! 

Su: Okay okay I get it. Just come over. I'll call the others.

Melody: okay, see ya! bye.

Su: Bye.

Melody jumps out of the bed and into the bathroom. She takes a shower and gets dressed. As always, she grabs her bag and car keys and leaves the room , saying bye to naruto. 

Down stairs, she finds Stella soaking wet and crying, sitting on the couch. 

Melody: Something tells me I shouldn't ask what happened.

Mom: I thought the same but I was just as curious as you.

Melody: So, what's the matter?

Mom: It's her....

Stella: MY BOYFRIEND BROKE UP WITH ME!!!!!

Melody: Wow, I thought he was a keeper.

Mom: Yeah, even I approved of him. I even started thinking of what I'd wear on their wedding. 

Stella: You don't get it! HE WAS MY EVERYTHING....After anime... BUT HE DIDN'T MIND THAT I WAS AN OTAKU!!!!!

Melody covers her ears. She sits beside her and puts a hand on her shoulder.

Melody: What did exactly happen?

Stella: I...I was....I WAAAAASSS..... (CRYING)

Melody: You were what?!

Stella: I was.. going to the college when he... called and asked if I could meet up with him... I...I said yes and called a fellow professor to tell her that I was sick and won't be coming to the college...... I CAN'T BELIEVE I LIED FOR HIM!!!!! ( CRYING AGAIN)

Melody: Will you please stop crying and continue?! 

Stella: .... I met him in the coffee shop near the college.... He said he wanted to tell me something.... he was so serious and I got worried.... Then he .....THEN HE.....!!!!! ( CRYING )

Melody: THEN HE WHAT?! ARE YOU TESTING MY PATIENCE?! 

Stella: okay...okay.... He called someone and a girl walked into the coffee shop... She came to us and said hi... She was so pretty.... I knew immediately what this was all about..... He found someone else and wanted to breakup.... so I got up and ran back home in the rain..... WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?!! I LOVED HIM SO MUCH!!!!

Melody: (sigh) Stella, he didn't even say that he wanted to breakup..... Are you crazy?

Stella: I don't know.... why else would he make me meet another girl?

Melody: Hmmm... I can't tell... Did he call?

Stella: I think so... once or twice I guess.....

Melody: Show me your cell...

Melody grabs Stella's cellphone and opens it.

Melody: 30 MISSED CALLS AND 60 UNREAD MESSAGES?!!!!

Mom: Are you sure he wanted to break up? I doubt it.

Just then a butler walks to them.

Butler: Lady Stella, you have a visitor....

Melody: Let him in.

Stella: Melody! Look at me! 

Melody: I think I know who it is.

A young man walks in.

Melody walks to him.

Melody: I wonder what brings you here, Tadashi...

Tadashi: I guess Stella told you everything... But it's a misunderstanding, I swear!

Melody: Try telling that to her. Thanks to you two, I'm late. So now I have a right to know what's going on here.

Tadashi and Melody walk to Stella and Mom.

Tadashi: Good morning Mr's Moores.

Mom: Good morning dear.

Stella: Why are you here now? I get it. You want to break up right? 

Tadashi: No! I wasn't going to break up!

Stella: Then who is she?! 

Tadashi: My sister! I wanted to introduce you to her. She's my only family...and I wanted her to approve of you, the girl I love!

Melody: I bet that went well....

Stella: So... I messed up...?

Tadashi: No, she just thinks I'm crazy to love a girl that is so dramatic and easily jumps to conclusions....In short, you were rejected. No big deal. (Sarcasm)

Melody : What do you have to say Stella?!

Stella: ammm....All is well that ends well?....

Mom: I can't believe I gave birth to you.... (face palm)

Melody's phone rings.

  Melody: Hey Su.... No No I'm coming!.... It was Stella's fault....I'll tell you everything when I get there.... Yeah bye. 

Melody: I think everything is settled.Gotta run, bye!

Melody leaves and then mom leaves the two love birds alone. 

Tadashi hugs her.

Tadashi: Don't do that! I'd never leave you.

Stella: I'm sorry.... I didn't mean to...

Tadashi: I'm sorry too, I should've told you earlier. 

Stella kisses him on the cheek.

Stella: Wait here, I'll go get changed. Then we can go meet Onee-san. I'll apologize to her.

Tadashi: Okay....

( YOU MUST BE LIKE, WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS IN THE STORY. I THINK THE SAME BUT I WANTED TO WRITE THIS PART AND SO I DID. SORRY FOR WASTING YOUR TIME) 

.....................

Melody reaches Su's place and the butler tells her that Su and the others are in Su's green house.

Melody enters the greenhouse and finds her friends looking at something. She walks to them.

Melody: Hey!

Su: Finally! 

Melody: What are you looking at?

Lina: It's a rare wild flower. Su planted it!

Arashi: Apparently she doesn't care if it's poisonous.

Mie: Maybe she wants the poison. 

Su: Yeah, to kill some blonde girl who happens to be really annoying!

Mie: Oh yeah?

Melody: Stop it you two! I had enough dose of fights and drama at home!

Mie: She started it!

Arashi: Mie.

Mie: Fine...

Melody looks at the flowers.

Melody: Su, they're beautiful!

Su kneels down and touches them.

Su: There aren't many left out there... I wanted to protect them...

Lina: That's our Su alright!

Arashi: Always loving the plants...

Melody looks at Su with a smile.

Melody's thoughts: (sigh) She's so kind. She has loved plants and nature ever since I can remember.... it's like she is connected to them.

Just then, the voices of her friends begin to fade away. She blinks her eyes and sees a green aura around Su it seemed like the green aura was connecting Su with the flowers. Then something  flashes in front of her eyes.

A  dark green haired girl, laying on a silk bed. Melody felt like she was standing beside her, holding her hand. She felt like the girl was dying. Tears roll down Melody's eyes.  

Su puts a hand on Melody's shoulder.

Su: Melody! Are you okay?! Why are you crying?

Melody realizes that she was actually crying.

Melody: I...don't know....

Arashi: You look pale...

Melody: I'm.... fine...

Mie: Are you sure?!

Melody: I... saw someone....

Lina: Who?

Melody: A girl.... I saw her dying....

Arashi: Melody, .... there's no one here.... we are the only ones in this place....

Melody: I know.... it was like a memory... from the past....

Although she was talking to her friends, it seemed like she was spaced out, deep in thoughts.

Su: Melody, we don't get what you are talking about, I think you should lay down a little. Lets go to my room.

Melody: A memory.... a memory?.... A MEMORY!!!!

Suddenly, Melody returned to her normal self and started doing some hand signs.

Lina: What are you doing?!

Arashi: Are those hand signs for jutsus?

Melody: Yes! That's it! Why didn't I think of this earlier!

Mie: I think she hit her head somewhere....

While the girls try to figure out what just happened, Melody summons the book of SHIZEN.

Arashi: It's that book!

Lina: How did you do that?!

Melody: I'm a ninja, aren't I?

Su: Girl you have 60 seconds to explain.

Melody: Yeah yeah whatever! You see, The memory of a girl I was talking about, is actually from my past life as the Goddess of Flames! 

Lina: So you remembered your past life?

Melody: Exactly!

Mie: But who's the girl?

Melody: Probably one of the other goddesses. Wait let me check!

Melody opens the book and finds the picture of a green haired girl.

Melody: Look! The girl is the Earth Goddess!

Lina: She's pretty!

Su:  I don't get it. Why did you remember all that so randomly?

Melody: I don't know... maybe something triggered the flashback. 

Arashi: What?

Melody: I don't know....

Arashi: What DO you know then?

Melody: never mind....

Mie: Look! The rain stopped!

Melody: Su, can I borrow your lawn?

Su: Yeah, sure but what for?

Melody: For training of course! 

Lina: So you'll do more of those magic tricks?

Melody: They're not magic tricks!

Arashi: Yes lina, they are jutsus, a very special art that only ninjas can master.

Melody: Wow! I wasn't expecting THAT! What happened? Your inner otaku revived? 

Arashi: It's nothing like that! It's just that you have the fire nature chakra so it's important to understand how wonderful and amazing that type of chakra is.

Melody: Okay now you're just fan girling over sasuke.

Arashi: No I'm not!

Lina: I can't believe I am seeing this day!

Melody: Okay now, lets get movin before the rain starts again!

Mie: Okay!

They all go to Su's vast lawn.

Melody: It's just the right size for some ninja training!

Su: All yours.

Melody stretches her arms.

Melody: You all might wanna stand back a bit.

The girls back away.Melody opens the book in her hand and does some hand signs.

Melody: This one should work with my current chakra level.

FLAME RIBBON!

Using this jutsu, she forms many ribbons of fire.

Arashi: Amazing....

Melody makes the fire disappear and turns to Arashi.

Melody: I was hoping that you could help me with sword fighting. I can freshen up my karate and hand to hand combat skills with Stella's help. ( STELLA'S NOT GOOD, SHE'S THE BEST)

Arashi: I don't know... I think you are better than me so...

Melody: Don't rub salt on my wounds! Have I ever been able to beat you in a match?

Arashi: That's only cause you go easy on me.

Melody: Arashi, you should be more aware of your abilities. Believe it or not but there are so many things you are better at than me.

Lina: Yeah Arashi. Have some confidence! 

Arashi: .... I'll try to help as much as I can... I guess...

Mie: Now we're talkin!

Su: I'll go borrow the wooden swords from my brother.

( Su's brother is a year older than her)

Arashi: Your brother's home?... (Blushing)

Su: Yeah. Wanna say hi? ( Teasing ) 

Arashi: N..No! It's okay.... (Blushing)

Lina: Someone's blushin!!! ( Teasing arashi)

Arashi: Stop it!

Everyone begins to laugh. They all know that Arashi has a crush on Su's brother but they keep it a secret and let things go on their own.

Melody: Su, can you borrow a real sword?

Su: Are you sure?

Melody: I want to practice with my sacred sword but it will be dangerous if Arashi has a wooden one.

Su: Okay then.

Su brings a sword for Arashi and then melody summons her sword.

Su: I've never seen a sword like this!

Lina: That's because it's magic!

Arashi and Melody: IT'S NOT MAGIC!!! 

They both look at each other and laugh.

Then they begin their training.

After an hour;

Arashi: Melody! You're doing it wrong!

Melody: It can't be helped, the sword's too heavy!

Arashi: Then how would you wield it in a fight?

Melody: I don't know.. The chakra swords are supposed to be perfect for their wielders... Why am I having trouble...

Arashi: Your skills aren't that bad. In fact you're quite good but your swings aren't controlled probably because of it's weight. 

Lina: Maybe you're using it in the wrong way.

Melody: How's that possible? How else do you use a sword?

Arashi: Hmm... don't you have some kind of instructions in that book of yours?

Melody: There is some stuff written about sacred weapons.

Su: Like what?

Melody: Only the owners can use them and they have immense power and ability of their own and they know that their owner is using them by a chakra connection. 

Su: Nothing about the heavy sword problem?

Melody: Nope!

While others were discussing this, Mie was eating cake.

But even so, she was hearing everything they were saying. 

Mie: Maybe you didn't connect with the sword...

She mumbled it as she put a large chunk of cake in her mouth.

Melody's eyes widen. She runs to Mie and puts her hands on her arms, shaking her.

Melody: What did you say?!

Mie gulps in the cake.

Mie: I... said that maybe you didn't connect with it....

Melody: YES! YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!

Mie: I... Of course I am!

Su: So that's the problem?

Melody: I think so.

Lina: But how are you going to connect with a sword?

Arashi: By inducing her chakra into it.

Melody: I'll try.

Melody grabs her sword once more and closes her eyes. She concentrates hard and finally manages to do it. Her sword sets on fire.

Arashi: Amazing...

Lina: Um.. I don't think you two should clash swords again.

Su: Agreed.

Arashi: Obviously! So, is it lighter?

Melody: Lighter?! It is amazing! I feel like I can cut through mountains!

Mie: Yeah... that's not necessary...

Su: But how're you going to practice with that killer sword?

Melody: I don't know.... I think I'll have to train alone and Arashi can give me tips.

Arashi: Great idea!

Lina: Melody, you won't mind if we toast some marshmallows on that sword right?

Melody: Yes I do.

Mie: Guys! Someone is coming! 

Melody sends the sword away. ( I couldn't find the right word for it... She kinda unsummons it. You get it?)    Melody being a ninja is only known to her family and friends.

Lina: How did you know?

Mie: I hear foot steps.

A butler passes by them and goes into the green house. He helps Su take care of her plants.

Su: So it was him... By the way you are very sensitive to sounds.

Mie: I am but it has intensified these days. I can hear slightest of sounds.

Melody: Nah! I'm sure you just noticed this now.

Arashi: Yeah.

Melody's eyes fall on Mie who is surrounded by a white aura. She sees a flashback.

A blonde girl sitting among some flowers and playing a flute with some cats and dogs around her.

Su: Seems like the weather is getting rainy again.

Arashi puts the sword in her hand, back. Just then, it begins to rain again and they hear a loud clap of thunder. At this, Lina jumps and hugs Arashi.  

Lina: Yikes!

Arashi: Don't be scared, it was just the thunder.

Lina: I'm not a big fan of loud roar of thunder!

Melody: Lets get inside or we'll be soaked.

They all head to the green house but suddenly Melody stops in her tracks. 

Melody sees a purple aura around Arashi and then sees another flashback. 

She sees that she is holding her sword and in front of her is a girl ,with silver hair, with her own sword. They are talking but she can't hear them. Then they laugh and shake hands. She felt like she was breathing hard and it seemed that the girl was out of breath too.

Arashi walks to Melody and waves her hand in front of her face. 

Arashi: Hey! You okay?

Melody: Y..yes! I... just remembered that I have something to do... so I have to go!

Arashi: Yeah okay. I'll tell others.

Melody: Where are they?

Arashi: They went in but you didn't so I came to get you.

Melody: I see. I'll go now.

Arashi: Okay bye!

Melody: Bye.

Melody runs to her car in the rain.

Melody's thoughts: Why...? What's going on? Why am I remembering my past life? And what was that aura I saw around Su , Mie and Arashi? Are they somehow related to all of this? No... I can't let them be in danger like me! I need to know the truth!

She sits in her car and drives back home. She goes straight to her room. Luckily none of her family members were at home. She changes her wet clothes and sits on the couch by the window, holding the book.

Melody: How can I find out the truth? This book is my only guide... I know that the goddesses should be close to me and I saw my past and if that aura was chakra then those three might just be the other goddesses! I hope not.... but first I need to know who the girls I saw were.

She opens the book and finds out that the girls she saw were The lightning and sound goddesses.

Melody finds that the last page of the book is blank. She stares at it.

Melody: I hate all this.... If my friends are the other ninjas then I don't think I can do this.... And you are the only way I can know the truth. Too bad books don't talk even in ninja world.... Right now... I just want to know if my friends are the other ninjas....

Suddenly, words begin to appear on the blank page.

Melody: No way!

Book: Yes they are.

Melody: You can talk?!

Book: Kind of. I know you are worried but your four friends are the other goddesses.

Melody: Four?.... you mean... Lina too?! 

Book: If she's your fourth friend then yes, she's the wind goddess. Look.

The book shows her the wind goddess picture.

Melody: Oh no! This can't be happening!

Book: Why do you oppose? You chose them.

Melody: I... chose them?

Book: Last night, you wished for them to be with you and gave them the powers of goddesses.

Melody: I...! That's not what I meant! I mean... I did say that but... I didn't want it to happen! How do you undo this?!

Book: You can't.

Melody: Come on! There's got to be away!

Book: No. But you still have to find the last goddess. 

Melody: Wait..! The last one?! Who is it?! Have I chosen her too?

Book: You should know.

Melody: Seriously?! You are the most useless talking book I've ever seen!!

Book: I believe I'm the only one you've seen.

Melody: Wait a minute!

Book: I'm right here, why do you keep asking me to wait?

Melody: Uhh!!!! I need to know, the last ninja isn't Stella right?

Book: Who is Stella?

Melody: (sigh) So it isn't her...

Book: Good for you.

Melody: Whatever! 

Melody closes the book ,puts it away and buries her face in her hands, crying.

Melody: What have I done?! They can't do this.... They'll hate me for this forever! They were scared enough with me being a ninja and now they are one themselves.... Why?.... I am so selfish.... Su? She can't kill a fly! And lina is definitely not the fighting type.... Mie is her parents only child. Arashi is  a fighting type but still I don't want her to risk her life.... What do I do? Should I tell them? I still have to find the last goddess too.... But I am the one who chooses my team mates.... I already destroyed the lives of all my friends... who else is going to suffer because of me?.....

After that, she spent the whole day in her room but didn't skip dinner so that no one would suspect that she is in some sort of trouble. 

At night;

Melody sat on her bed, thinking.

Melody's thoughts: I have no other choice... I have to tell them about this... But I'll wait till I find the last goddess. Melody, you've messed up big time.... I won't force them but without even one of them, I won't be able to kill Makai.... Even so, if even one of them doesn't wish to go then I'll go alone because the ones going with me will only be in danger. I hope it doesn't come to that and they all agree because if they do, I'll protect them with my life. 

Melody's eyes fall on another picture of naruto  that she uses as a book mark. She picks it up and smiles.

( Lets just say that The last movie DID release but the Naruto x Hinata part never really happened. Meaning no NaruHina took place.) 

Melody: Wonder what you would've done in this kind of situation.... But all your friends are ninjas so it would've been fine right? I wish I was you.... And you know what's the worst part? I'm not even strong like you so all I can do is try to protect them....I'm not talking about power but heart.... I don't have a heart strong like yours..... and I'm crazy enough to talk to a fictional character..... Man! my life is so messed up!  

Unable to hold her tears back, she starts crying, hugging the picture tightly.

.........................................

Hi, sorry for the late update. I wasn't just motivated these days. Anyways, I want you guys to know that all the girls except Melody have someone special in their hearts and so even if they have any anime crushes then they won't fall in love with them. That's all. Be sure to vote and comment so I can know what you think. 

Love, Mary.
