The Half -Chapter 7: Ugo's guidance

The drive that was to be directed into heading towards Sindria, was only to pushed back; like a wave, recoiling from the shore. It would return again, but not on command. For the meantime, Kyo, would have to undergo a slight change in plans. Her body had lost consciousness at some point, and the sounds of rushing waves faded in...

With a moan of discomfort, her subconscious twisted with her consciousness...

"Baal...! Where are you...?" she found her mind calling out. She had not remembered his name in such a long while. He was a tyrant of a caretaker, but was all she knew for what must have been years longer than she had thought. And his voice was not to call back to her in his usual tone of annoyance with her.

"Baal..." she spoke again.

"Aladdin..." something whispered.

"Hm..?" she mumbled,

"Aladdin... find him..."

"But.. who's... Aladdin?" she hesitated, her body remained lying down and her eyes shut, "I know this voice... it was there when I was little.. in the palace..."

A light chuckle chimed threw her ears.

"I don't have much time, Princess, but find Aladdin; he will guide and help you in your world." His voice began to fade off, and with a strained body, Kyo tried to call out for him more:

"Ugo...?" she spoke as if she were repeating it. "Ugo..." she repeated herself once more, "Ugo..." her conscious began to shimmer, and her eyes slowly opened.

"Oi, Oi! She's awake!" A face smiled.

"Huh...?" she mumbled, turning her head towards the voice,

"Morigana!" he called towards someone else.

"Yes..!" a female's voice replied and in an instant, she too was at Kyo's side, holding a bowl filled with water.

"Here." the red head announced, holding the bowl out as Kyo began to sit up slowly, with moans and groans of aching in her body.

"Thank.. you.." she hadn't realized how dry her mouth was, until she took the bowl to her lips, and drank it down slowly. Holding the bowl in her left hand, as Kyo's eyes focused in to the two people.

"How do you feel?" A blonde male asked, but Kyo's eyes only looked from the blonde, to the red head, back and forth slowly. Her blue eyes moving back and forth as if she were scanning not only the people, but what was around herself.

She had seemed to pick up that she was, indeed, on a beach; foliage close by caught her attention as well. Islands tended to have this much green, this close to the water, more than main lands...

"I'm Alibab, and this is Morigana!" he smiled, pointed from his self to the female, who only gave a light nod. Her eyes seemed sharp in Kyo's perspective, but she slowly replied, putting her free hand on her chest.

"Kyo..." she coughed slightly, then turned her head to get a better view of her surroundings. "Where.. am I?"

"You're on an island," Kyo was right, "We were forced to stop here, to avoid the storm, and we found you this morning, here..! Did you get caught in the storm?"

"Alibaba..." the one named Morigana started, as if to hold him back from rushing with so much to say, and ask.

The blue haired female shook her head, "No. The ship I was on was encountered with a Southern Sea Creature."

"Wah!? What happened then!?"

"I fell … overboard..?" she questioned, as if she herself was trying to remember it all, "And then I saw it under water, and grabbed onto it... But then.." she looked down at her hands, "I let go, as I then remembered being in it's mouth."

"In it's mouth!?" he exclaimed,

"Alibaba..." she gestured, in trying to calm him down once more.

"But how did you get out and on a beach then?"

"I... don't know." she closed her hands slowly, the empty bowl sitting on her lap as she looked from her hands back up, and another voice chimed in.

"Alibaba! Morigana!" Another called out, his seemed younger, and his hair... his hair matched her own in color.

"I see you woke up." he smiled, as he stood along side the other two. A golden flute around his neck, as he held his hands behind his back, as his eyes then went down from Kyo's face to her chest. A satisfied like smile came across his face, as he marveled over the well developed breasts of the female. Kyo's own eyes followed his, down to her chest, and then back up with a scowl as she flicked the boy in the forehead hard; pushing him back as he whined and rubbed at his head.

"You shouldn't stare, kid." she declared as she slowly pushed herself up to her feet, slowly.

"I thank you for the help, but I need to get going.." Kyo started, as she began to walk off, as if she knew how to get off the island,"I have to find someone named 'Aladdin'."

"Hm? Why are you looking for me?" The boy recovered, and then pointed to himself, with his head tilted to one side in puzzlement.

"What do you need with Aladdin?" asked Alibaba, who, too, stood up along with the female: Morigana.

Kyo turned on her heels and looked to the one pointing to himself.

"How... do you know Ugo?" Kyo asked, sending a surprised look into Aladdin's eyes, as he heard the name "Ugo."

"He's my friend, but how do YOU Know him?"

Hesitant, Kyo thought on her words for a moment. She couldn't just blurt out everything and how she she might know the name Ugo.

"He.. told me to find you. But why?"
