Hey guys! I know I haven't been around for a while but I'm working now so its kinda hard to keep up with anything :P Anyways please enjoy!

Its been only two weeks since the princess began to live in sector 8. She sat in the small living room of her apartment. She spent a good amount of her time cleaning up the run down living space to bring some life to it. It was very difficult for the apartment itself was so poorly made. She sat on the couch that was old and filled with dust but didn't pay too much attention to it. She leaned back thinking quietly to herself.

"What an impulsive jerk." She whispered. She thought of what had happened earlier this morning.

Flashback.

Kimiko and Nikki walked to the kitchen ready to serve the hungry residents of the sector. Unfortunately for Kimiko, she was still not use to working in the kitchen. Living a lifestyle where you food is properly made for you everyday without a second thought, it made cooking very difficult. Nikki was very lennient with her. She didn't make too much of a fuss when she messed up on a few things, but groaned every so often to show her irritation. Of course, the overpowering Rai walked in to see how things were and watched as Kimiko stumbled when she cleaned the dishes and put the food in the wrong spots. When Kimiko dropped all the dishes, they shattered instantly and she groaned to herself as she looked up at the ceiling.

Kimiko went to begin picking up the shattered pieces but quickly retreated as she saw Rai bend down and begin to pick them up.

"If I knew you were going to be this useless I would have reconsidered." He mumbled roughly not making eye contact with her. Kimiko felt her anger building quickly as she groaned and walked the other way.

End Flashback.

She sat there fiddling with the loose threads from the couch and she slowly sighed.

"I apologize if I am unaware of specific duties. I have talent, just not what your trying to make me do. Do not just state I am useless you jerk." She grumbled to herself as she pulled out the pocket watch and opened it to show the young woman again.

" I wonder if he was ever rude to such a beauty as you." She said sadly as she put it back in her pocket. She sat there for a few moment longer pondering her thoughts quietly to herself.

"but, I understand you Rai. I am not strong like Clay is, or Cunning like Nikki. But, I will prove you wrong and show you I am NOT useless." She growled gripping the couch tightly. She closed her eyes thinking back when she lived in the castle and how simple everything seemed so simple but now...

"Hey get up Princess!" Screamed a voice when the door slammed open. Kimiko jolted and fell on the floor.

"Geez Nikki! I could have gotten a heart attack!" Kimiko yelled gripping at her chest tightly. Nikki chuckled but quickly stopped.

"Oh, I almost forgot why I came." She staggared through her side bag that was brown leather. She pulled out a bag and handed it to me. I began to open the very neat tight bag.

"I know its not perfect but I cleaned it up as best as I could for ya." She said scratching the back of her head. I opened it completely to see it was my silk dress I came her with. It was pretty out washed now and you were able to see clearly the wholes in it. But, it smelt fresh.

"Did you clean my silk?" Kimiko asked. Nikki snorted.

" hey you know its pretty expensive and you decided to neglect so I just thought Id help ya out a bit." She retorted. Kimiko smiled as she stood up and gave Nikki a large hug.

"Thank you Nikki." She said simply. Nikki stood there oddly confused.

"Ugh its no biggy really. Just remember you cant replace that. Its so rare to have silk in the sectors." Kimiko let go of her hold of Nikki and looked at her.

"How much is Silk worth in the sectors?" She asked.

"Well it all just depends on what sector you sell it to. Sell it to sector 5 or above and your talking about enough food and money to supply a whole sector for months." Nikki explained. Kimiko had it! She knew how she was gonna show Rai she was useful. It was with the only thing she knew she was good at. Shopping.

"Where's Rai?" Kimiko asked quickly.

"Last time I checked, he was down at the square with the kids." She said. But soon enough, Kimiko was dashing down the hall to catch the elevator to make it outside.

When she did, she sprinted all the way down till she made it to the square. She was out of breath not used to running so fast in skinny jeans. She looked out to see Rai playing what looked to be tag with the kids. Kimiko became confused. Was this really the same man that has screamed in her face? Threatened to kill her? Put a knife to her neck? He seemed so gentle. Patient. Fun. Kimiko walked up slowly as she caught Rai's eyes. He stopped his horse play and watched her. All the kids stopped as well. Kimiko watched as a little girl walked up to her and bowed in front of her. Kimiko was actually quite shocked that she did that.

"Dear there is no need to bow to me." She said sweetly. The little girl looked up at her and smiled.

"I was taught to show my respect to the royal family." She said. In the honest truth, that confused Kimiko more then anything. She could have sworn that these people hated Royals. Then, why was this little girl showing her respect? Rai soon came between them and looked at Kimiko with cold eyes. He shifted his eyes to the little girl.

"She isn't a Royal. She is everyone else." He said. The little girl nodded and went back to playing with all the other kids. He soon turned back to face her.

"So whats up princess?" He said crossing his arms. She gave him a scowl from saying she wasn't royalty. Well...she wasn't...at least anymore. She blew off and put up a large smile on her face. She quickly grabbed his arm and started to run out into the direction of the warehouse where they kept the motorcycles and tanks.

"What the hell let go!" He yelled trying to keep up with her pace.

"Just shush up would ya?" She called back still running straight.

"This is kidnapping!" He yelled catching people's attention.

"You are older then I now would be quiet?" She yelled back.

"Where are we going?" He yelled.

"Shut up!"

A few moment later she stopped them at the entrance of the warehouse. After catching his breath he looked up to see where they were and looked at her with a confused look.

"Why are we here?" He asked.

"You said I was useless." She said not facing him and ignoring his question. He winced in shock when she said that.

"And in the end you are probably right. I have lived in a world outside of the world. I don't know how to fight. I cant build. I barely clean." She faced him smiling. "It must be difficult to have to deal with someone with nothing to uphold." Rai looked at her with an open jaw.

"Look, I didn't mean what I said I was just-"

"No you were right. But, I want to help in any way I can. So," She pulled out her silk and showed it to him. His jaw dropped completely.

"That's-"
"Silk. The best of the best. Whats funny is that I have never seen any value in this for I have closest filled with silk. But, this simple dress is enough to help so many.." She looked down at it with sorrow.

"If your thinking about selling it, no one in sector 8 will have enough money to buy it from you." He said simply.

"Oh, I don't plan on selling it in sector 8. I was thinking more of sector 4." She smiled slyly.

"Are you nuts! They see you and they will report you immediately!" He yelled.

"Then Ill desguise myself. Come with me. I need a navigator." She smirked.

"No way." He said crossing his arms.

"And why not!" She yelled.

"If you haven't noticed I'm a wanted man and if I'm caught, sector 8 will be no more." He said.

"But, how will they know its you? The only time I have seen you was with a mask on. The world knows nothing of what you look like. Just go like a normal person." She said. There was something in Rai's eyes that was bothering her slightly.

"I don't know..." He said quietly. Kimiko walked up to him putting the silk in between them.

"Please Rai, its the only way I can think of right now that can help you in any way." She said. Rai looked down at her and her large blue eyes. He felt his heart cringe.

"Fine..." he said quietly and suddenly felt arms wrap around his neck.

"Thank you Rai! I promise you, you will not regret this!" She yelled. She let go and saw him with a sad smile. He sighed and shook off any sign of emotion and took out a pair of keys from his pocket. He smirked and looked at her.

"Fine, I'm driving."

They walked into the warehouse and Kimiko looked to see all the auto motives they had. Ranging from cars to bikes to tanks. She was in complete awe. How can such a poor sector afford so much. There were stolen. Kimiko's face dropped from surprised to completely irritated she didn't see it the first time.

"Aye, who's in here?" Yelled a voice from underneath one of the large hummers.

"Dojo get out here." Rai said banging on the top of the hummer. A man pulled out wearing a large green jumpsuit and had large black beady eyes and blonde shaggy hair.

"Hey you gotta be so mean to my cars?" He said leaning up against the hummer.

"Dojo, this is Kimiko. Kimiko, this is our Mechanic, Dojo." Rai introduced.

"Nice to meet you." She said sweetly.
"Hey kid, Now Rai I got a problem." Completely ignoring her.

"And what would that be? Rai responded.

"Well our pretty Betty over here has a messed up engine. The rudders just totally collapsed you cant even turn it on now." He explained.

"Well cant you fix it?" This is down to our last hummer." Rai said.

"I need to replace things Rai, There are parts in these that are totally just destroyed." He said. Rai threw his head back and groaned.

"Looks like im heading back to Spicers Court when I get back from sector 4." Kimiko turned to him in shock.

"Your gonna steal?" She exclaimed.

"How do you think we got all this. Spicers make the best stuff and that's where we get all of our equipment." He explained.

"I don't know Rai, They bumped up their security since there with Young now. Also, didn't they almost catch you last time?" Dojo pointed out.

"Details details." Rai waved. Kimiko thought for a moment.

"Why don't we just go by a new hummer?" Kimiko asked. Rai looked at her confused.

"Well we have enough silk to have enough food for months. Theres gotta be enough to buy some parts you need." She explained.

"Kim, that silk isn't cover all the parts we need.' He said. She thought for another second and smiled. She pulled out the pocket watch from earlier.

"What about this. Its pure gold. I know its not mine but it could get that parts alone." She said handing him the locket. He opened it to see that woman's photo and sadness went through his eyes. He shut it tight and put it in his pocket.

"Fine..Dojo give us the list of the parts and well go buy them." He said.

"Woohooo! New parts! I cant wait!" He yelled trying to find a pen and paper to write down the list. Kimiko looked up at Rai with his blank expression.

"Rai, Who's the woman in the photo?" She asked. He lifted his head and sighed.

"Someone I use to know." He said. And that was the end of that conversation. Soon enough we got the list and we were off on the bike driving up to sector 4.
