"Mom, where are you going?" Crow asked me as I followed the others.
Kanna was with him. I smiled.
"You kids stay in your rooms for now. I'll come by and check on you later, okay?" I smile at them.
They looked at me worried and nodded. I sigh as I watch them leave.

To be honest, I'm nervous......
I don't remember much from last night but me chanting that I am Kimi....
I don't even want to think about it. Ka Koubun was behind me as we continued to walk towards Sinbad's office. We finally reached there and I froze. I have this uneasy feeling..
"Princess, are you alright?" Ka Koubun asked me worried.
I snapped out of it and nodded. We went in and I saw Sinbad sitting in his desk with the generals behind him.
Originally in the storyline, Kougyoku isn't here with Hakuryuu and the others. She's in a different part of the palace. Sinbad looked over at me and gave me a closed eye smile. I gulped and I can tell so did the generals, minus Hinahoho and Drakon, and Masrur who has a blank face.

He then turns to the others.

"I gathered you here today....to send you on a dungeon conquest!" He says.
He explains that there is small island far to the south near Sindria. There a dungeon recently appeared with no ones noticed.

Dungeon 61: Zagan

"Guys, be careful with that dungeon. It has been kidnapping people. Not to mention, the djiin is a user of life magic and hates humans." I said and everyone looked at me shocked.
"How do you know this?" Sinbad said as he slightly narrowed his eyes at me.
"Common research." I bluntly said.
"I would go with you if I could, but me and my household can not enter the dungeon." Sinbad said.
"Why?" Alibaba asked.
"Because he has too much power." I said as I lean onto the wall.
Everyone looked over at me.
"What?" I said.
"Alright then, explain." Ja'far said.

Shit.....

"You see, Sinbad already has 7 djiins. On his last conquest, his final djiin told him he already has to much power. Even his household vessels can not go through. They pass through the gate, and nothing will happen. It's common knowledge." I give them a close eye smile.

Everyone has a shock expression. What's more Sinbad.
"How did you know all this?" Sinbad asked.
"Like I said before, common knowledge." I shurged my shoulders.
Hakuryuu then walks forward.
" If it be alright, let me participate as well." Hakuryuu spoke and asked Sinbad.
Sinbad said that he was entrusted to him by the emperor and will he really let him expose himself to danger.
"I know that very well. I do not want to be a bother and if worst case scenario, if were to loose my life, I will leave a testament that I will take full responsibility if anything were to happen and send it back to back country. Also I  been searching for a Magi who would conquer a dungeon. (Looks over at Aladdin) More than ever, I do not wish to rely on Judar's power no matter what." He said.

"I understand. (Turns to me) will you also be joining them Princess?" Sinbad said.
"Yes and no." I said as I took off my hairpin.
Everyone looked at me confused.
"Vinea clonara." I said and my hair pin glowed.
A water bubble the same height as me appears and takes on my appearance.
"My clone will go with them to keep an eye on them. I'll see what she's seeing, while I remain here in Sindria." I said.
I see excitement appear on Yamraiha's face.
"And yes, this is magic." I smirked.
I hear Sharrkan groan and Yamahira pounces on me.
"I told you magician better than swords! I'm so happy you mastered the water magic I've been teaching you!" She squeals.
"Depends. Though like I said before magic and swordsmanship are equals, because combine the two, you get an incredibly powerful force." I said.

Aaaannnnnddd......a argument between Yamraiha and Sharrkan begins....again.....

After that everyone began to leave but.....

"Princess."

I froze. And I can tell the others did also.

"I wish to speak with you in private, if it be alright?" Sinbad said.
I looked over at the others and they looked at me worried. I nodded and everyone else left. Now it was just me and Sinbad. I walked over to the front of his desk.
"What did you wish to speak about King Sinbad?" I said, trying not to let fear take over me.
My heart is pounding so loud. Sinbad looked up directly into my eyes.
"It's been quite sometime hasn't it Kimi? 6 years hasn't it?" He said with a smile.
"If this is about me chanting weird things last night, I am extremely sorry about that. My name is Kougyoku not Kimi. I was dead drunk." I said calmly as I bowed and rose up again.
Sinbad still had his smile.

"Eligos......feels uncomfortable....." Eligos said.
"Do you really think I believe you?" He said as the shadows covered his eyes.
"Believe whatever you want. I'll b-----!!" Suddenly he stood up and grabbed my wrist.
He looked down into my eyes, his only a few centimeters away from mine. Hurt, anger, loneliness, and...something else in his eyes.
"Do you have any idea how long I've been searching for you? Why did you hide who you were? And don't try to deny it. The blue jeweled chocker I gave you is one of a kind. I had it custom made just for you." Sinbad said as he lightly touched the blue jewel.
I want to run. I want to get away. He's furious. I feel it. I began shaking, my eyes filled with fear. He must of noticed this and quickly let's go.
"Sorry.......I didn't mean to scare you.....
Kimi....it's not your fault for what happened 6 years ago. You shouldn't blame yourself. You did what you could." Sinbad smiles warmly at me.

"It's is......it's is......it is...." I felt my voice trembling.

- 3rd POV -

She began shaking. Memories from the past returning to her. The day.....
"It's my fault......you all got hurt.....
It's my fault.......I'm nothing....
But a monster....." Kimi said as she held herself.
Sinbad looked at her shocked.
"That's not true! You did what you could to save everyone! Kimi it's not you fault!" Sinbad was about to walk over to her but....

"YES IT IS!! IT'S BECAUSE OF ME, EVERYONE DID GET HURT!! IF I WASN'T THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THAT SCAR ON YOUR CHEST AND STOMACH!! YOU AND EVERYONE ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF ME!!!" Kimi screamed as tears fell from her eyes.
Sinbad hugged her quickly. Kimi froze. He lightly stroked her hair to calm her down. She cried in his chest.
"You probably hate me for hiding that I was the princess of Kou the whole time....don't you....?" Kimi said dryly.
"I was surprised that it turn out my theory was right, but you must have had your reasons, so I forgive you." He said.

Kimi giggled. Indeed.....things have changed but.......
She stiffened when she felt him trace his hand down her back, making her shiver. He smirked and leans down near her ear, lips almost touching it.
"I ought to punish you Kougyoku....you been a naughty girl...
Trying to hide from me......Trying to play cat and mouse.....because I can guarantee, it will end in a endless night of pleasure....." Sinbad said huskily which sent Kimi pass out in his arms.
"O-Oi!" Sinbad caught her.
Her face was red with steam coming out and her eyes swirls.

Sinbad sighs but smiles. Kimi recovers and gives him a deadpanned face.
"And you are still the same Perverted Eggplant." Kimi said as she walked away towards the door.
His eye twitched. That damn nickname......
Kimi smirked as she left towards the door.
Sinbad eyed her up and down. The movements of her hips, the way she walked, he licked his lips. He remembers her dancing from last night and from 6 months ago. He wanted to ravish her. Mark her as his......

But her being the Kou Princess.....
Indeed there would be problems. But he didn't care.....if he made her his queen...he wouldn't let her go back to Kou. Not by a long shot. But....something was familiar...her movements reminded him of that woman called Melanie....
He heard the door closed and he sighs.
"At the rate it was going.....I would of taken her right here and now....." he said and licked his lips.

Kimi sang softly as she walked to her room. She went in and saw Ka Koubun helping her kids with their studies.
"We're saved!" Kanna and Crow cheer.
"Princess, I'm so glad you're alright! Prince Hakuryuu and the others have already left to the dungeon." Ka Koubun said.
I nodded. I am not happy with what is to come. What's more....Judar.....

It's been about 4 hours and I felt it.

Judar came. I waited till it was my turn to appear. Crow and Kanna next to me. I changed to my black kimono and my hair was straight down, all the way down to my knees. My hairpin, I have it in my bag.

"The Kou Empire will destroy Sindria!" Judar yells.

"What the hell are you doing Judar?" I said as I walked out.
Everyone else turned my way and their eyes widened when they saw me. My hair was flowing down to my knees, I wore a black kimono down to my knees, my gun strapped onto the left side of my waist, and my dagger to my right. My anklet on my right leg, and I wore my blue choker. I stopped walking and rested my hand on my hip. I glared coldly Judar. Crow and Kanna, I had them stay back with Ka Koubun, for there safety.

"(Whistles) Nice new look Kougyoku. But like you heard! That's why you don't need to stay here anymore! You made a mistake in Balbadd-----!!!" I interrupted him when I raised my hand.
I felt my eyes wanting to turn orange.
"I didn't make a mistake Judar. I chose to go against the monarchy in Balbadd. I chose to go against the Emperor on my own free will. Because of what my father was doing was wrong. Also, because the Empress wanted me gone. You know very well why she wants me gone." I said coldly.
He narrowed his eyes at me.
"Never thought you had it in you. But, come back. I'll make you a general. You wanted to fight for your country, right?" Judar extends his hand to me but I cross my arms and glare at him.
"You're right. I do want to fight for my country...." I said.
He grins and I felt all of Sindria glaring at me.
"However......" I said and everyone looked at me confused, " what will be the point of you making me a general, if I worked hard for everything I did?" I said.
"What?" Judar growled.
I closed my eyes and spoke.
"You heard me. You think I'm some weak little girl that wishes to get what she wants when ever she wants? I rather earn my way to become a general, because I learn to trust others and I learn value lessons while enduring the hardships. What boring life it will be if you just make me a general." I said as I opened my eyes.

They were orange......

Everyone gasped.

Judar clench his fist and glared menacingly at me.
"You.....YOU'RE THAT WOMAN WITH THE BUTTERFLY WINGS!!!??" Judar roared.
I smirked and slowly walked up to him in a prowling motion, leaving a trail of ice behind me.
"I did what my heart told me. I protected my friends and I will do it again. You want my answer, then I'll give it to you." I said as I stopped in front of him.

I turn towards everyone and take out my dagger. Everyone got into battle positions but......

CUT!!

I made a promise to protect this world.....

I made a promise to watch over my friends....

I made a promise to myself to face my fears.....

Everyone looked at me shocked with what I just did. I took my hair and tied it. I turned back and handed it to Judar. My hair was no longer the same. I have now two long side bangs that stop at my chest, and my hair is short to my ears. I held my hair in front of Judar, who looked at me horrified.

"This is my answer. I will not fight against Sindria. But I won't fight for Kou either. Especially because of that bitch. I have not betrayed Kou, nor have I betrayed Sindria. But,......I DO DECLARE WAR AGAINST AL-THAMEN!! IF NO ONE IS WILLING TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP AGAINST THEM, THEN I WILL!! I'LL DEFEAT THEM, THAT'S A PROMISE! EVEN IF I HAVE TO DO IT MYSELF!" I yelled.
Judar grabbed my hair. And his eyes glowed red. They widened in shock and anger.

"WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE FIVE DJIINS?! YOU SNUCK OUT TO CAPTURE DUNGEONS ON YOUR OWN, DIDN'T YOU?!" He yelled at me.
I looked at him with dead eyes.
"Tell what I just told you exactly to my brothers and that bitch of Gyokuen."
I said.
Judar smirks.
"Gladly. To think you yourself are actually going to go against the organization.....I wonder what trouble you'll cause. More that Kouen is going to kill you for having more djiins than him." Judar laughs as he ruffled my hair.
"What can I say? I'm a rouge Spirit!" I giggled.
"See yah Kougyoku! And don't get pregnant by that idiot king!" Judar cackled while me and Sinbad turned beat red.
"JUDAR!!!" I djiin equip to Vinea.
"Shit!" He yells and fly's away.

I sigh and undjiin equip. I touch my hair and turn towards the other.
"I swear to god if you even ask I'll kill you. And there is nothing going on between us." I glared at Hinahoho, Drakon, Pisti, and Spartos.
Hinahoho and Drakon smirk over at Sinbad he was trying to get away from being murdered by Ja'far. I walk over to Ka Koubun and the others.
"Suuuuuuuuurrrrrreeeeee....." Pisti said as she runs after me.
I roll my eyes and we all head to my room.

- Time Skip -

I was currently in my room. I was writing a letter to my brothers and Hakuryuu. I have to leave. I can't stay, what's more with what I declared, the organization is going to come after me. More, Sinbad mat try to keep me from leaving Sindria. I looked over to my bed and saw Kanna, Crow, and Pisti sleeping. It was quite funny watching Pisti sulk that Crow and Kanna are taller than her and that they are younger than her.

Knock, knock.

I finished my letters and sent them to them and I will have Ka Koubun give Hakuryuu's his. I went to the door and quietly open it. It was Ja'far.
"Sinbad wants to talk to you. Privately." He said seriously.
I nodded and closed my door. We walked in silence until Ja'far broke it.
"What you did was beyond reckless! How could you do something like that?!" Ja'far snapped at me.
I was shocked at his sudden out burst.
"Ja'far.....if you were in my position, what would you have said?" I questioned.
He hesitated to answer.
"See? Exactly. You can't respond unless you know what one feels or goes through. I made my choice." I said as we stopped at Sinbad's door.

I was about knock but....

"Come in Kimi."

I'm fucked......

I go in and I see Sinbad standing there with his arms crossed.
"Lock the door." He said.
OH HEL NO!
Rapidly shook my head. He walks over to me and I move out of the way. He locks the door and faces me. His eyes cold. I gulp.
"I want you to explain to me exactly by both you and Judar said the Empress of Kou wanted you gone and why you did such a reckless move declaring war to Al-Thamen?!" He walked towards me in a prowling motion.

I gulped and slowly backed away. What I didn't notice was.....I was walking back towards his desk. He slammed his arms down, caging me.
He looked down at me with cold eyes.
"The empress.....sigh.....wanted me dead because I over heard one of her meetings with Al-Thamen." I said.
Sinbad looked at me shocked.
He let me go. I can tell he wants me to keep going.
"But.....she manged to Kill her own sons....who also heard what happened. I manged to survived but was greatly injured. And...I was in a coma for 6 months." I said.

I remembered. Kougyoku's memories..... what she heard.....

I looked back at Sinbad and I saw he was in deep thought.
"For everyone's safety, I'm leaving Sindria tomorrow." I said and his eyes widened.

"No."

"Excuse me?!"

"As the king of Sindria, I forbid it. You won't leave Sindria, seeing that Kou will most likely mark you as a traitor and come after you. You'll remain here. End of discussion." He said.
Anger began to fill me.
"I will not remain in Sindria. And you are not my king!" I glared at him.
His eyes darkened. He walked over to me and pinned me to his desk.
"You will rem------!!" His eyes widened.

My eyes turned deadly orange and my djiins were ready to come out and kill him. He quickly let go of me as my hair turned black, my right eye orange, my left eye green, and my nails to claws, and the third eye.

Sinbad froze. She wasn't in djiin equip. He felt his djiins reaction.
"How dare you try and command our queen?" 5 different voices came out of her mouth.

Djiins.

"Filthy Singularity.....you have no control of her, not will you ever. To you, she nothing but a pawn to your game. You planned to implant Zepra inside of her, for you to spy on her family for your own selfish desires!" Her djiins boomed.
What are they talking about? They know something.
"Stay away from her. If not, we will kill you. Over our dead bodies you will control her, filthy bastard." They growled.
His eyes narrowed. He stood straight and looked down at them.
"Who you think you are to command me? I'm doing this for her safety. You really think you can stop me just by a mere threat?" Sinbad said.

Her djiins then smirked, confusing him.
"You're right, but who says we have to be the one to do it? Good bye Sinbad!" They cackled and Kimi dropped unconscious but Sinbad caught her on time. He held her close to him. Afraid to loose her. Their relationship....he wants to start a relationship....
But it's forbidden.....
He caressed her cheek and lightly bends down, and gently place his lips on hers. He then raised up and kissed her forehead lightly.

"I won't let them hurt you.....I promise.." he said.

- Time Skip: Night -

She looked down at the rail, she smiled, seeing her kids having fun. But frowns. Tonight....she will escape.

"Ka Koubun, I want you to train in Heliohapt." Kimi told him, as they were discussing earlier in her room.
"I'm not leaving you! I'm going with you!" He stood up.
"Same here!" Crow and Kanna yelled.
They all looked at her determined. Kimi sighs.
"Crow and Kanna, you will come with me. But Ka Koubun, you will go to Heliohapt and train there. Make sure to change your appearance and change your name." She smiled sadly at him.
He didn't want to leave her,but he understood she has her reasons.
"I understand. You'll escape first. I'll stay and give the message to Lord Hakuryuu." Ka Koubun said as he was handed the letter and a teleportation crystal.
All of their belongings packed.

"Thank you, Ka Koubun."

After what happened with Ithan's attack, Ka Koubun waited till later that night to speak with Hakuryuu.
Kimi used Sitri and quickly teleported away from Sindria, along with her kids. She made so no one will detect her presence and look for her. She also left a letter to the trio.

He walked to Hakuryuu's room. He knocked.
"Is something wrong Ka Koubun?" Hakuryuu asked as he let him in.
Ka Koubun handed the letter to him.
Hakuryuu looked confused. He opened it and began reading.
His hands shook and his eyes darken as he read it. He glared at Ka Koubun who flinched.
"I understand. I'll do what I can. I hope to meet her again one day." He sighs and quickly burns the letter, so no one will know where she went.

He then handed the letter that was written to trio. They were shocked and nodded. Just like Hakuryuu, they burned the letter. Ka Koubun then went back to his room. All of his belongings packed. He Cleaned off the markings on his face, he changed to the clothing to travel.

He was about to take out the crystal when.....

A red wire wrapped around his wrist.

"Where do you think you're going?"

He looked at then window and saw it was King Sinbad's viser, Ja'far.
"Tch!" Ka Koubun quickly cut the wire which caught Ja'far off guard and used the crystal, and was teleported away.

- Sindria: Unknown Island -

As he landed down and walked towards the doll, he saw a figure pick it up. As he closer, he saw it was a woman with green hair in a ponytail, bandages wrapped around half her face. She wore green ninja clothing.

She crushed it in the palms of her hands. She looked up and her eyes widened slightly when she saw Sinbad.
He was about to attack but she disappears before he even made a move. He ran and looked around but saw no one.

The woman was up in a tree hidden. She held in her hand a lotus blossom necklace that blooms. Next to her, a man with blue hair and warrior clothing.

"We'll find Kimi, Caria. We got to." The  man said.
"Hope you're right Alphonse. We've been reborn in this world. Still hard to believe." Caria said.
Alphonse sighs.
"Sinbad won't be happy when he finds out Kimi escaped Sindria. Still can't believe she was reborn as Kougyoku. " Alphonse said.

Both suddenly jumped back when a green light attack came at them. They looked up and their eyes widened. It was Sinbad in his Vepra djiin equip.
Both got ready to fight.
"Who are you, and how do you know Kougyoku?" Sinbad glared menacingly at them.
Suddenly two hands came out a rift and pulled them into the space warp.
Sinbad clicks his tongue and fly's back to Sindria.

Alibaba, Morgiana, Aladdin, and Hakuryuu were all discussing what happened today and what Kimi did. Aladdin casted a spell so no one can here what they are talking about.
"I hope Kimi will be alright. Do you know where she went Hakuryuu?" Alibaba asked.

"Kina"

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

Bet you never expected any of this! PLOT TWIST!!!!

Also I want to apologize for not updating the Magi of Time and Space. Either Friday or Saturday, or sometime this week I will be updated.
