"RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! THOSE STUPID MEDDLING HUMANS MESSED UP MY PLANS AGAIN! AND MY GOODY TWO SHOES TWIN SISTER, IS ALIVE!!!" Kyubey screamed in rage as her fur turned pitch black.
Gyokuen narrowed her eye at the black rukh. Something wasn't right.

"Why are you so mad? The girl was nothing but a experiment. So it was quite obvious that it would fail."

Kyubey turned to the male that spoke and growled menacingly.
"I suggest you shut Isaac! Or else I'll be the one you will be facing is my wrath." She growled at the male.
He had white spiky hair, gray eyes, and is wearing a black suite. A wicked smirk on his lips. Two women behind him. Isaac just scoffs.

"Like a little cat can do anything." Isaac mocked.
"Remember, Sheba and her sister sealed away not just half my powers, but yours also. Don't think you're so powerful. You're in the same boat as me." Kyubey smirked.
Instantly, Issac's smirk fell. Arba rolls her eyes and looks up to the sky. A smirk came on her face.

"Looks like things are about to get interesting."

- Tenzen Plains -

"I am Ren Hakuie, First Princess of the Kou Empire. And this is my household
Seisyun Ri, Dorji,Boyan, Bator. I want to discuss why you are after my sister, and Kougyoku, I want know what was that thing and who are your friends." Hakuie spoke to both Sinbad and Kimi as they sat down.
Kimi shuffles nervously. It's been 7 months since she's scene her sister. Caria nods to Kimi and so does Alphonse.
"During these past months, I am now a dungeon capturer of seven djiins.." Kimi said and her sister, her household, and the 7 sea's alliance looked at her shocked.
"The reason I was declared traitor of Kou by the Empress was because I and my brothers, Ren Hakuyuu and Ren Hakuren, over heard one of her meetings with Al-Thamen. 11 years ago....the great fire took place....
She....succeeded in killing our brothers....but failed in assassinating me......they....gave their lives.....for me to live.......now that---!!!" Kimi gasped when she felt two hands on her shoulders, she didn't even realize she was crying.
It was Alphonse and Caria. They both turn to Hakuie.

"I am Caria, Princess of the Kina Kingdom. As you saw, I am a dungeon Capturer, and me, your sister, and our friend Alphonse, Prince of Reim, have been helping Kougyoku hide not only from The Empress....(narrows eyes at Sinbad) but also from King Sinbad." Caria said his name bitterly.
Sinbad only smirked. Hakuie and her household were horrified hearing what has happened. Hakuie more less.
"The scars of the great fire remain. I've kept it hidden but......I have burn marks on me.....like....Hakuryuu..." Kimi said.
"Then how did you loose you eye?" The King of Sasan said.
Kimi removes her eye patch and showed them her eye. Their eyes widened, plus Sinbad.
"I didn't loose my eye. By it is now the vessel that holds the contract with my 6th djiin, Kurumi." Kimi said with no emotion.
Sinbad narrowed his eyes. He remembers Oregami mentioning a goddess name Kurumi. She is the one that implanted the bullet that was in his heart and still in Kimi's. He looked back at the trio that were explaining what the thing they fought was.

"Witches are evil creatures that provide the primary opposition to the Mahou Shoujo. Witches will affect humans near them through the use of the Witch's Kiss, a mark that can cause accidents or drive a human to murder or suicide. Once a witch is disposed of by a Mahou Shoujo, they will drop a Grief Seed, which the Mahou Shoujo can use to control the darkness in her Soul Gem. Witches are also known to summon familiars to defend themselves or maintain their magical constructs. A familiar can eventually grow into a new witch after it consumes humans. Witches are born when a Mahou Shoujo’s Soul Gem is tainted and becomes dark. Damaged Soul Gems will cause their hosts to fall into despair and eventually become witches.
A Soul Gem's darkness will spread when its host uses magic, and if enough magic is used, the damage will be permanent and a witch will be born. Moreover, the negative feelings from the Mahou Shoujo themselves can act as a catalyst to hasten the Soul Gem tainting process." Kyubey explains as she hopped onto the table.

"However, Mahou Shoujo, soul gems, witches, and grief seeds, should not be existing in this world at all. My twin sister, her name is also Kyubey, but Bey for short, has found a way to create witches and tainted soul gems to this realm. By infusing black rukh with the soul of fallen human, she can create artificial soul gems. They act the same way as black metal vessels. However, the difference is that it is possible for the person that was that was turned to a witch can possibly be saved and turned back to humans. Which was with the case with Sayaka, the girl Caria saved." Kyubey or Kyu now for short, finished explaining.

Caria was stunned and looked over to the bed, where Sayaka was asleep.
"But here is the thing, Bey's beta  experiment was 8 years ago. She was able to successfully create a witch." Kyu explains further.
"What did this witch look like?" Hakuie asked.
Kyu summons out a card and shows everyone. Sinbad froze, he recognized it.
"The butterfly witch....Bella..." Sinbad mumbled.

No one else heard him, but Alphonse did. He narrowed his eyes slightly at the king. Sinbad eyes did a glance at Kimi, who for some reason, began to be filled with guilt. Caria noticed this, but knows right now is not the time to ask her.

"Thank you Kyu. Now changing the subject...."Hakuie spoke and turns to Sinbad "tell me exactly why you want to force my sister back with Sindria with you? She may have been declared a traitor by my mother but that does not mean I will follow my mother's orders. Kougyoku is my sister, cousin, friend, and it doesn't matter what the empress says, Kougyoku always has, and will always be part of the Kou Empire. Do you really think I'll let you just take her? You'll have to pry her over my cold dead body and her brother's." Hakuie spoke with the voice and face of a queen.

Her household also stood straight and looked at the Seven Sea's Alliance with cold eyes. Caria and Alphonse stood next to Hakuie. Caria and Alphonse may be part of the seven sea's alliance because of their countries, but they themselves are not. They are allied to no one, and will act on their own. Even Kimi stood next to them.

Sinbad narrowed his eyes and so did the seven sea's alliance. Sinbad stood straight and looked at them with cold eyes, and spoke win the tone and voice authority of a King.
"Kougyoku is on the verge of falling into depravity. A bullet was implanted into her heart and is slowly eating away her memories. If not removed, it will make her forget everything, including you and her family. One my generals, who is a magician, is looking for a way to break the seal that is with the bullet. The seal is connected to every part of of her, and if tried to be extracted, the seal will kill her. My general is looking for a way to break the seal so it can be extracted." Sinbad explains.

While Sinbad was speaking, Kimi's eyes turned void for a few seconds then back to normal. She looks at Hakuie with a slight confused expression. Who was the woman arguing with King....what was his name again? And who were the men that were standing behind her?

Sinbad looked over at Kimi who kept tilting her head left in right in a confusing manner. She looked at him and then Hakuie confused. Like she was trying to figure a question. Her eyes, flickering between blank and normal.
"My king, Something isn't right." Baal spoke with worried.
"My queen, your sister's rukh, it's turning...no...it's like....it's fading." Paimon spoke to Hakuie.
Hakuie turns to Kimi, who kept looking at her with a confused expression.
"Ummmmm.....your highness, And My lord, are we continuing the discussion?" Kimi spoke with a confused tone.
Everyone was taken back. Kimi never calls Hakuie "your highness" or Sinbad "my lord". The Queen of Artemyra looked at her concerned and walked up to her.
"Kougyoku correct?" Mira said.
"Yes...no...wait...my name is Kimigakiri.......no wait...it's Kougyoku...sorry...I'm not feeling well that's all.". Kimi grins nervously.
Mira then holds up her hand.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" She said.
Kimi was confused. Did she think she was drunk?
"4......." Kimi said.
Mira sighs.
"Right, but did you notice anything, different?" Mira asked.
Everyone was beginning to get confused.
"No?" Kimi said confused.

Mira was beginning to get more worried.
" Lady Hakuie, her magoi and rukh, it's incomplete. Other than the bullet that is inside of her, something else is still inside of her. My djiin sensed something. It's clashing with the seal. It's eating away her memories" Mira said as she turned back to them.

Kimi was confused. Why was the Queen of Artemyra saying her memories are disappearing? She feels perfectly fine. Sinbad looked over at her in worry.
"Princess Hakuie." Sinbad said and everyone turned to "I propose we make a deal. One that will benefit us both and Kougyoku." He said.
Hakuie narrowed her eyes.
"Oh? And what would that be?" She said.
Sinbad took a deep breath and looked her serious.
"Have your sister marry me and I will guarantee her safety." He declared boldly.
The room exploded, well mostly the women and Alphonse. The other three kings were think it's about damn time he chose to settle down. Kimi turned red and while everyone was arguing. She used Kurumi and quickly made her, Sayaka, Alphonse, Caria and Kyu, disappear into the shadows, while everyone else was preoccupy in what the King just declared.

"Absolutely not! My sister is not some toy you can just say you want!" Hakuie yells angrily as she was held back by Mira.
"Trust me Princess, I want to murder the man right now! A man can not just declare that he wants a certain Woman to marry him!" Mira said.

Sinbad is doing this for Kimi. He has been wanting to settle down but only with her. He wants to protect her. He couldn't save protect her 8 years ago. He blames himself. Because of his recklessness....she was turned to a witch. Because of the argument they had, because he let his anger take over, he yelled so many things that he didn't mean any of them....
.but to her....it greatly hurt her. He called her annoying, weak, pathetic, ignorant, a fool for not seeing the world how truly cruel it is. She proved his beliefs wrong which angered him, and made him lash out his anger at her. She was a little girl....but had the eyes and mind of a adult.....

He remembers he froze when realization hit him. He saw as tears began to fall from her eyes. She glared at him as tears kept falling from her eyes.

"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE BURNED I CARRY!! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND EVEN IF I PROVED YOU WRONG SO MANY TIMES! YOUR STUPID GREED AND PRIDE BLINDS YOU TO WHAT TRULY IS IN FRONT OF YOU!! You don't understand....you just don't understand.......all I want....is for us to be happy......to grow up.....to be together.....that's all I ever wanted....that's all I ever asked for.....
All I want....is to stand by your side...and you stand by mine....is that too much to ask....is that to much to ask for a simple wish? One were we can walk together and smile and be proud and accept each other for who we are....for both our flaws and mistakes....for own self....for who we are.......is that to much to ask for.....? Because apparently in your eyes.....it is......I know I'm weak...I'm know I'm ignorant....But that doesn't mean I don't know how the world truly is! I just....I just want to live a peaceful life....by your side......."

Kimi's cries that day.......and it hurt even more.......that she despises herself for almost killing him.

- 8 years Ago -

"Hic....sniff.....Hic......Sinbad......I'm sorry...I'm sorry.... Hic...." Kimi cried as she was on the ground and held Sinbad in her arms.
Butterfly scales on her face, her once pink eyes, gold ones with black butterfly pupils. Her once pink hair that turned to blonde, slow turning back to normal. And once huge butterfly wings, now slowly falling apart, like leaves falling down a tree. Kimi cried as she poured her magoi into Sinbad, trying to heal the deadly wound on his stomach that she inflicted. Sinbad opened his eyes weakly, and saw Kimi crying. Her tears falling on his cheek.
"Kimi...." he said her name with a weak smile.
Her eyes opened and her tears kept falling.
"Baka......you should have just let me die.......Hic.....why.....Hic......I'm sorry ....I'm sorry......It's my fault...It's my fault......" Kimi cried.
She froze when she felt Sinbad's hand caress her cheek. Sinbad smiles.
"How could I.....how could I leave the girl I love......die.......? I wanted to save you.......I....love you Kimi....." he said as tears fell from his eyes also.
Kimi looked him shocked and then felt him gently press his lips on hers. Even if he was older than her, even if they are from enemy kingdoms, even if their love is forbidden, Sinbad loved her more than anything, and he doesn't regret, nearly loosing his life, to save her.

Suddenly his hand went limp.
"Sin....bad?" Kimi said just above a whisper.
He layed in her arms with a peaceful smile. Her tears began to fall faster and faster and more and more.
"No....no...Sinbad please!
SSSSIIIIIIIBBBBAAAAAADDDDD!!!" Kimi screamed.
"YAMRAIHA! JA'FAR! MASRUR!! ANYONE, ANYONE!! PLEASE!!" Kimi screamed.

Luckily, Hinahoho and Drakon were nearby and quickly found them. They took them quickly to the palace. Medics began to treat him. It turns out, Sinbad only passed out from blood loss. Yamraiha was able to heal him.

But Kimi........

She isolated herself completely. Pisti, Yamraiha, Sharrkan, none of the generals, not even Natsumi, who secretly visited her, could get her to leave her room at all. She didn't eat for days. And then the day Sinbad Finally recovered.....

"Do you think Kimi will come out when we tell her Sinbad is awake and wants to see her? She refused to eat again anything this morning." Oregami said as she held a tray of food.
She was visiting Sindria. She heard what happened and immediately came. Like the others, she couldn't get Kimi to leave her room. Ja'far sighs as they walked down to Kimi's room. He looked over at Oregami. He won't admit it, but she's been a huge help. Thanks to her, they were able to save Sinbad.
"Arigato, Oregami, I am forever grateful. Without your help, we would of lost Sinbad. Thank you." Ja'far bowed to her.
"Ja'far, please. You don't have to thank me or anything. I'm just glad to help out a friend." Oregami smiles at him warmly.
A blush appears on his face. Her smile, it's warm.

They continue talking and walking as they head to Kimi's room but.....
"Kimi, are you there---!!" Oregami knocked the door and it created open.
They go in, and see it is empty and the room a disaster. Writings on the wall that were in an unknown language. It was in English but to them, it was unknown.
"What happened in here.....?" Ja'far looked at the place in horror.
Oregami looked at the place shocked.

"This energy......" Oregami closed her eyes and began to feel the aura left in the room.

"It'smyfaultitsmyfaultitsmyfaultitsmyfaultItsmyfault.....I'm a monster I'm a Monster I monster Monstermonster......
Die....die...die die die died die die die.......I need to die....disappear....disappear...I need to....d..I..s..a..p..e..a...r...."

Oregami's eyes snapped opened and she fell to her knees, shaking, breathing heavily, and tears falling from her eyes.
"Oregami!" Ja'far yells and knees down to her.
She suddenly hugs him and buried her face in his chest.
"We need to find Kimi! She's falling into depravity!" Oregami screamed.

Ja'far bolted out of the room with her and told all the guards to search every where for Kimi. Hinahoho, Masrur, and Drakon were ordered to search everywhere. The others stayed with Sinbad.

Kimi was already out of the barrier, looking down at the Kingdom of Sindria with blood shot, depressed eyes. Judar came flying, because he heard of the attack that happened. His stopped the carpet he was on and abruptly stopped it. There, a few feet away was Kimi. Her Rukh was half way black. He flew towards her, and got her on the carpet. He wanted to ask what happened but, the depressing look all over her, he chose not to ask. He hugged her, and she began to cry on his chest. He sighs and takes them back to the Kou Empire.

- End of Flashback-

Our current time......

Hakuie ordered her household to search for Kimi and the others. Paimon was able to confirm what Sinbad said was true. And now she has to tell her brothers when she returns back to Kou.
"I'll keep I'm contact only with the Queen of Artemyra. I'll tell her if I found my sister. And about your proposal, it is Kougyoku's and My brother, Ren Kouen, to make." Hakuie said bitterly to Sinbad.
"I understand. Please contact her when you do." Sinbad said and he left.

"Kimi........please....I can't lose you again...."

- ?????? -

"Kimi!" Caria and Alphonse yelled in horror as Kimi rolled on the ground, gasping for air as multiple symbols appeared all over her body.
Kurumi began to yell orders to the djiins as they fought the black shadows that were lurking in Kimi. Kurumi doesn't understand. The seal shouldn't be eating away her Master's memories, only Sinbad's. Then.....

- Kou -

"Hahahaha.....Hahahaha!!" Gyokuen suddenly burst out laughing.
"What great opportunity! To think the key to bring our father to this world was in our eyes the whole time!
KOUGYOKU, YOU WILL BECOME OUR FATHER'S BRIDE!!! YOU WILL BE THE ONE TO SACRIFICE FOR OUR FATHER!! AHAHAHHAHA!!!" Gyokuen cackled.
Unknown to her, Judar and Hakuryuu just heard what she just said. They gritted their teeth in anger and left quickly.
"We need to warn the others now!" Hakuryuu said.
Judar nodded and both left towards Magnostadt.

Back with Kimi....

A female shark humanoid with gold jewelry, gold eyes, and a spear, looked down at the trio.

"Please, I'm begging you, please help us! Please......" Caria cried.
Sayaka was pouring magoi into Kimi, and Crow, Kanna, and Sliver cried, unable to do anything as they watched their mother in agony.
The female shark stayed silent.

"Alright. But we must be quick!" She said.
She quickly picked up Kimi and dove into the ocean with her. Everyone followed her, and that's to Foras, they could all breath underwater.

"Kimi....please...please...live....."

(To be continued..........)

I'll be honest with you guys.
I was crying writing this.
