The same day;

When Melody's mom returns, Stella tells her everything. Her father and brother return as well and she explains everything to them too.

Mom: Melody has gone crazy! I knew she would be like this! We have to talk to her dear!

Father: I know... Stella, tell Melody to come down stairs right now.

Stella: Yes dad.

Stella goes to Melody's room.

Brother: Father, don't be too strict... You know she has a kind heart... She must be worried about everyone....

Mom: And we let her go?!

Dad: Calm down, I'll talk to her.

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

Melody is in her room, reading the book.

Melody's thoughts: So I am a ninja... I can use fire style but it's a kekkie genkai so it's called flame.... Wow! I can use a sacred sword too?! Every goddess can use a weapon of choice.... but all the goddesses used swords except the one with water chakra.... That's interesting.... Makai is a demon that takes over a human body...... I can't use many jutsus right now.... but I can use the sword.... I wonder if I can still use swords the way I used to back in high school..... I can ask Arashi to help me. She is awesome at sword fighting!.....

KNOCK KNOCK...

Melody: Come in.

Stella enters.

Stella: Melody, dad's back. He wants to talk to you.

Melody: (SIGH) You told him, didn't you?

Stella: I did. It's very dangerous and dad is against it!

Melody: You people...

Melody stands up and goes down stairs.

Melody: Dad, Brother! Welcome home!!

Brother: Hey!

She hugs her brother and father.

Melody's dad gives her a stern look.

Dad: Melody, is Stella telling the truth?

Melody looks at her feet.

Melody: She is.

Mom: Melody, I thought you were more sensible than this!

Melody: What do you want me to do?! Wait until Makai sends another monster and kills you all?!

Brother: There has to be another way Melody. You are being too dramatic.

Melody: You are my family so I know it's hard to let me go but I have no other choice... I have to do this... Whether you all like it or not!

Mom: Melody you...! (Interrupted by dad) 

Dad: Melody, Do you really wish to do this?

Melody: Yes dad. 

Melody stared right into her dad's eyes with great confidence.

Dad: Then there is no room for argument, you are grounded!

Melody: WHAT?!

Dad: Ha! Just kidding. 

He puts a hand on her shoulder.

Dad: Do as you please. Just don't let me down....and be safe.

Melody's eyes fill with tears.

Melody: Dad....Thank you...

Mom: (SIGH) I guess...as long as you are safe.

Brother: Phew! I thought you were done for!

Stella: Same!

Melody hugs her family. 

Melody: I promise, I'll do my best!

Stella: Now that we are okay with you being a ninja, can I please read that book?! I'm really excited!

Melody: Can't believe you held back this long...

They all laugh and Melody and Stella go back to her room to read the book together.

Melody's thoughts: Sorry mom... I don't care if I'm safe... AS LONG AS EVERYONE ELSE IS SAFE..

Dad: Those two never seem to grow up...

Mom: I hope that Melody doesn't grow up too fast.... her maturity scares me. She is too responsible and brave even for her own good.

Brother: Don't worry mom. She knows what she's doing. She isn't a child anymore...

Dad: Yeah...

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

In Melody's room;

Stella and Melody are reading the book together, sitting on the bed.

Stella: She's pretty!

Melody: AND very strong too. It is said that she alone was originally given power by the nature but she couldn't control all of it so she divided it into six pieces and gave five of them to her most trusted friends. She was crowned the queen of a place called KIYOSHI when she was only 10!

Stella: So that makes you the queen too!

Melody: Nahh! I'm anything BUT a queen...

Stella: Yeah right..! So, what does it say about other girls?

Melody: Hmm... Lets see...

She turns the pages and finally finds a page about how she could find them.

Melody: Seems like once I am aware of my powers, I can see chakra around them. But at a particular time, when they are using their chakra. 

Stella: Melody,... How many people do you know?

Melody: Probably more than you can count...

Stella sweat drops as Melody rubs the back of her head.

Stella: We are doomed...

Melody: No we aren't! I'm sure they are really really close to me! Maybe you are one!

Stella: Me?! No ways!

Melody: You ARE close to me.

Stella: Change this subject! I can't be one. No ways!

Melody: Ok fine... Wait, it says something else too...

Stella: What ?

Melody: Their chakra is actually parts of my chakra so when It's active, I will feel it. In fact, I might even remember my previous life!

Stella: That's crazy....

Melody: I can't believe it's all real... I'm a ninja so strong that people named me Goddess and I am supposed to save the world... This is just too....

Stella: Good to be true?

Melody: Nah! I was thinking more of a kind... Unrealistic, weird, impossible and... scary. 

Stella: Just imagine being able to meet Naruto! 

Melody: As if that's gonna happen!

Stella: You have chakra! You are a hero's reincarnation! YOU ARE A NINJA! I think it's safe to assume that an anime can be real. It's your life we are talking about! You have to think wild now, what if it all becomes real?!

Melody: Well... My life really did get pretty wild... anything is possible now..

Stella yawns.

Stella: It's getting pretty late. We should go to sleep now.

Melody: I guess...

Melody closes the book. Stella gets up and opens the door to leave.

Stella: Good night. And go straight to bed.

Melody: Yes Maám!

Stella smiles and leaves.

Melody smiles and lays down on her bed.

Melody's thoughts: I wonder if my team mates will be kind and caring like Stella and my friends.... I just wish... my friends and Stella were my team mates. That'll be good... I'll be more comfortable....

As Melody is closing her eyes, she sees a white light glowing out of something beside her but when she hurriedly looks to her side, it's gone and there's only the book and Naruto's picture on her side table.

Melody: What was that? I thought something was glowing.... Must have been the moonlight being reflected by the glass of the frame...

She tilts the frame away from the light and smiles.

Melody: Good night Naruto. I think I have to leave you behind and live a life of reality....

She shifts and faces the other side. She closes her eyes and soon after, falls asleep.

Long after she has gone to sleep, the blue stones on the book shine once more.
