Chapter 2
It was a base I had never seen before. A flying boat, it was a piece of art. All wooden expect for the rocket boasters and the sails. It was docked on a beach with a wonderful surrounding. As I climbed aboard, I gasped in awe as I looked around.
"We don't have a spare room…" Cole sighed.
"Don't worry, she'll be with me," Zane smiled. He's really kind. But us in the same room?! He's a prince and we've just met!
"Kai, Jay! You're back!" I heard a girl cried in joy as she ran into view, her jet black hair flew behind her like a flag. It was very short, just above her shoulder. Her amber brown eyes were like Kai's. She went to hug him first and then kissed jay on the lips…
"Nya," Jay also said as he held onto her tightly.
"Nya is kai's sister and she and Jay are married," I turned my head to see Lloyd by my side, whispering to me.
"Oh, that makes more sense now," I whispered back and I stroked Kuri's white mane with my fingers, trying to get rid of knots. Cole took Kuri's reins out of my hand and led him to another part of the ship, or what they call it, 'The Destiny's Bounty'.
After that, Zane lead me to his room.
"Why?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" He questioned back.
"You're a prince… I shouldn't be in a room with you… I shouldn't be here at all…" I sighed. He stopped and placed both of his hands on my shoulders.
"I understand what you mean but I cannot leave a girl by herself, especially not after she had lost all of her memories plus you're under my responsibility." He opened the door and let me into his room. Someone must have already set it up because there was another futon on the floor.
"I'm really sorry for causing so much trouble for you…" I said as hung my head low.
"Don't worry, its fine, come, let's look at your head," He smiled as he moved closer to him and placed his warm hands on the back of my head.
"Ouch…" I muttered.
"Sorry."
I felt his hand dug through my knotted hair. Then he pressed with his fingers again and I gave a yelp.
"Sorry," he apologized again.
"Don't apologize, it's my fault for getting my head injured…"I told him. Then I felt a cream being spread where he had touched my head.
"Does it feel better?"
"Yeah," I replied… What's in that stuff? It feels really nice.
"The pain should hopefully go away in 3 days but meanwhile, think of the bounty as your home until you can regain your memories." I turned to look at him and he wore a bright smile of kindness. No wonder everyone on this ship respects him and got worried when he went out to save me… Kind Generals aren't common… Wait, how do I know that? But then again… Why would a prince be a General?
"Thank you very much," I said and returned the smile.
"Lord Zane, I'm here with some clothes for Sakaya!" I heard Nya's cheery voice from outside of the room.
"I'll let you go for a bit," Zane smiled and walked out of the room and let Nya in.
"Sorry if I haven't introduced myself but I'm Nya. Kai's my brother and Jay's my husband," She introduced herself as she gave the clothes to me.
"I'm Sakaya… I really don't know much…" I sighed.
"It's alright Jay told me everything… I'm really sorry about Kai, he can get really suspicious of people and he's a bit of a hot-headed person but once he cools down, he's really nice."
"It's alright… But I think he's right…"
"What do you mean?"
"I lost my memory in a battlefield… Maybe I was an assassin…"
"But… The Overlord doesn't need assassins, especially girls from Ninjago. It's just Kai being silly," She laughed. I just smiled. "They're just some clothes that I had just brought a couple of weeks ago."
"But you didn't have too."
"It's alright, I brought 2 sizes too small," she told me… It's true, she's taller than me. "Well, I got to go but come out in 30 minutes for dinner. Lord Zane is an excellent cook."
And she left… But why does he have to cook? I mean he's a prince and a general… I looked at the kimonos Nya had brought me. Most of them were red but I liked a certain one. It was light pink with a golden print of a cherry blossom tree at the bottom left hand corner and another one at the top right hand corner. The ribbons that wrapped around my waist was also a golden colour. I looked at myself in the mirror that's presented in Zane's room. I looked alright… But my brown hair doesn't look too well with it… I moved my fringe to the side and saw a small cut… It doesn't hurt me. I pressed my finger to it and my brain started to pound against my skull. My sight began to blur and my legs gave out weight.
'Sakaya we have to help them!'
'No, we have to keep on going!'
That's my voice right now…
'Watch out for the rock!'
What's going on? Who is this young girl I'm hearing?
'Kuri! Steady now!'
Next I heard a scream from me.
'Sakaya! Sakaya!'
Her voice slowly started to fade away but I had heard a scream from her.
"Sakaya!"
I heard my name being called but it wasn't the young girl. I opened my eyes slowly, trying to ignore my throbbing head. I saw Zane and Nya's head above mine.
"Owwww… What happened? Who is she?" I asked.
"Me?" Nya asked but I chose to ignore her… in fact both of them. My body started to move by its own. And I found myself on the rails of the decks of this floating ship.
"Where are you?!" I screamed out. I had no control of my body… Had my body figured out who she is but not my mind?
"Sakaya!" I heard Zane and Nya call for me again. I leaned over the rails and looked into the water.
"Where are you?" I whispered out. I had finally regained my body again.
"Sakaya," I heard Zane said as he placed his hand on my shoulder. I jumped in surprised but I realized I was leaning far too over the rails and I started to fall in. But I felt his strong arms wrapped around my waist and I stared in the water with disbelief. "What's wrong Sakaya? Speak to us!"
I felt my body shake and my legs felt weak again. My body collapsed in his arms and my eyes closed… I fell in unconsciousness. When I woke up again, I found myself in the futon in Zane's room. I closed my eyes and my mind started to replay the young girl voice. I didn't see what was going on but I could hear it… Was she related to me? This has to be just before I lost my memories. We were both riding Kuri and on a run. From her voice… She seems like 8… How old am I? 15? There's no way she could be my daughter… But if she was, she wouldn't call me by my first name… My name! It's definitely Sakaya. Was she my sister? Friend? Some girl I found while riding Kuri and begged me to go and get her parents? That means there was a war or battle in where we lived. I went to sit up and as I did, I opened my eyes but I felt a hand being pressed on my shoulder and pushed me back down.
"Slow down, you still need some rest," I heard Zane's gentle voice.
"Lord Zane…" I muttered.
"So you didn't lose your memory again?"
"What do you mean?"
"Nya and I got worried for you since you didn't show up for dinner and we found you in my room on the floor… Then you started to say 'who is she?' to Nya… Then you started to scream 'where are you?'" Zane informed me… I remained silent. "Is there something to need to tell me?" I still kept quiet. "Did you recover a bit of your memories?" … "Please," He said again and placed his hand on my shoulder.
"I…I…" I stammered, unable to find the words to explain. "I heard someone's voice… It was like a memory but there were no images… just our voice. From what I had figured so far, I think we were riding Kuri away from something… Like an attack was forced on my village. And at 1 point, I fell off Kuri and she called my name repeatedly… My name is definitely Sakaya."
"She?" He asked. I nodded.
"I can't remember who she is but… she knows who I am. I-I don't know if we're friends, sisters, cousins or just someone… I just don't know," I sighed and buried my face into my hands.
"Shhh, there, there. Don't worry, we'll figure this out together and you'll get your memory in no time." I heard Zane reassured me and he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
"Are you sure? I'm afraid I might never get it back!" I started to cry at this stage. He brought me into his arms and pulled me close to his chest… "I'll never get to see my family again! I-I… I…" I shouted but then whisper. Zane pulled apart and placed his hand on both of my shoulders and stared into my eyes.
"That's what I thought when I couldn't remember anything," He said. I gasped. He lost his memory too? "I didn't know where I was or who I was. And then I meet my team who was very supportive of me. And…"
"W-What did you do to regain it?" I asked, sniffing back my tears. His face turned into somewhat hurt. "Did you meet someone? Or someone told you?"
"No…"
"So what did you do?" I asked and wiped my tears away. He didn't say anything but reached for the hem of his shirt. "Umm… Lord Zane?" Once his shirt was off, I instantly looked down.
"Please look," What the hell is he talking about? Look at his bare chest?! I gulped before looking… and once I did, I wish I haven't done so.
HE'S A ROBOT?!
I flattened myself against the wall and I watched him closed the compartment in his chest.
"And I had never known until the same day I found my memories…" He sighed.
"D-Does the other knows?" I asked, my voice trembling in fear. He nodded.
"I thought all hope was lost before I regained my memories… But like everyone says, there's always a way and if there's will," He smiled and slip his shirt back on.
"S-S-So you're a-"
"A robot… yes," And he smiled again. What happens if I'm a robot?! Or something else?
"Y-you're not disturbed that I know?" I asked.
"No… Don't be afraid of me, I'm not going to hurt you."
"I'm not afraid of you… I'm afraid of my past…"
That's the end but just to let you know, Sensei Wu, Misako and Dr Julien aren't on the bounty. And I may leave it in Sakaya's POV. Please review!
