Welp, here's the alternate end, though it's sadly a lot more shorter then the regular end, but this story is officially over now~

xXx

So far so good.

Making sure to be as silent as a mouse, Naruto snuck his way through the dark home. Blue eyes glancing at the pool resting in the middle of the living room and catching the unmoving figure of the mermaid; he decided that it was safe enough to attempt the lock on the cooler. Taking a reassuring breath he reached into his pocket to pull out the miniature flashlight, only to fumble clumsily with it for a few seconds until it ultimately clattered noisily with the wooden floor.

Cursing in his head, he bent down and hurriedly scooped it off the floor as he listened for any sound of movements resulting from his mistake. But hearing no floor creaking or water swishing, the blonde felt that it was safe to continue.

Fishing out the lockpick, he began to work on the lock on the cooler. Fully concentrated, he failed to hear the light plops of water dripping as a head rose from the surface of the pool, lavender eyes narrowing in on his distracted form.

It was only when he heard the sound of something rapidly dragging across the floor that Naruto spun around, a frightened scream escaping his throat, lockpick flying out of his grip as wide lavender orbs zeroed in on his face. His frantic attempt to back away resulted in him banging the back of his head against the hard cooler, leaving him dazed and open to a moist body climbing on top of him.

Once the wave of dizziness wore off, he froze in place. Petrified and unsure of how to react to a certain aquatic woman laying on top of him casually, beautiful face inches away from his as lavender orbs roved over his reddening features curiously. It was almost impossible to ignore the feeling of her bountiful breasts pressing against his hard chest, his breaths left his lungs in rapid, hot bursts of air as he easily forgot the reason why he was even in this house to begin with.

"H-Hina..." Shit, what was the rest of her name again? He couldn't concentrate, especially not when she brought up a finger to run a claw precariously along his quivering lip.

The entrancing lavender was getting closer, warm breath brushing over his flaming skin.

He can kinda see why Sasuke was so attracted to her now.

Their lips were inches away from each other when they were suddenly blinded by the living room lights flipping on as a rather intimidating figure joined them.

"What are you doing to my mermaid?" A low voice with barely disguised anger slipped into his ear and snapped him out of the creature's spell as Naruto immediately tried to squirm his way out from under her to no avail as she had him completely pinned down with her hands pressing on his shoulders.

So panicked with trying to escape her hold that he didn't even notice the shared glance the two shared as lavender eyes subtlety darted from her host to the lockpick lying forgotten on the ground to the cooler. If possible, Sasuke's expression darkened further once he realized what she was trying to tell him.

"H-hey Sasuke...uh...I think your mermaid has the hots for me now," Naruto laughed awakwardly, sitting up and rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably once the mermaid finally released him from her hold. He continued rambling, hardly noticing his glaring friend kneeling down and picking up the lockpick. "S-she was really coming onto me for a moment there."

"The fuck do you think you were doing, idiot?" The raven snarled viciously as he held up the lockpick accusingly. Naruto gulped heavily at the threatening aura just pouring off the scowling male in overwhelming waves, he felt as if the Uchiha was gonna pounce on him at any second.

"I-I was...uhm...curious..since you two were so...I don't know...fixated on this thing.." He murmured, rapping his knuckles against the cooler gently.

If the Uchiha didn't seem dangerous before then he definitely was now after the Uzumaki explained his reasoning for breaking into his home.

"O-oh, c'mon Sasuke, it's not like you're hiding a body in there, right?" Naruto laughed more in nervousness, Sasuke was really scary when he was actually pissed like he was now.

Hinata glanced at her host in alarm but he merely schooled his furious features into his usually stoic as he deadpanned, "You're not that stupid, are you?"

"Ha ha, yeah, I mean, really I am- HEY!" Naruto cried, realizing seconds later what the Uchiha said.

Sasuke's eyebrow twitched at the loud voice piercing his poor ears so late at night, "Shut the hell up and get out. If you're that curious about what's inside the cooler then I'll show you tomorrow, it's too late at night for this shit."

Hinata watched her host quizzically, questioning his sanity.

But the blonde eagerly jumped up with a grin, delighted to see that Sasuke wasn't planning to beat him within an inch of his life - not that he would let him, but still, "Fine then bastard, I'll be back tomorrow! And you better not be lying!" And without another word, darted out the door much to the Uchiha's relief as he got up and followed the blonde's path as he watched until the hyper figure was completely out of view before closing and locking the door and turning to his very curious mermaid with a sigh.

"I didn't want to do this...but you're gonna have to binge on Sakura's corpse tonight," He informed her, choosing not too acknowledge at how she brightened up at the prospect of food and thought about how irritated he'll be tomorrow with the lack of sleep he'll be getting tonight with cleaning the cooler and removing any remains of the pinkette.

With a grunt, he scooped up the cheerful mermaid and placed her gently back into her pool, "While I'm not very happy with the way you distracted him, I'm grateful that you didn't try to eat Naruto...but this was too close."

When she tilted her head, he cupped her cheek, staring into her eyes seriously, "I can't keep killing random girls constantly, it's too dangerous and will eventually be linked to me.."

"So, I was thinking of maybe making you try a variety of animals, there's bound to be one with a taste similar to humans that you can eat..." His thumb stroked her skin tenderly as her eyes turned from his to stare off to the side in thought, "...Okay?"

Eventually, after a few moments, she looked back at him with a warm smile, nodding her consent.

As long as she gets to keep her human, she'll try anything.
