I walked out of the castle chapel, my eyes on the ground, mumbling softly to myself. I went through a couple doorways, rounded the corner into a lift stop, and came to a huge door. Frowning, I moved towards it slowly. I had taken a wrong turn and had been to lost in my thoughts to realize it. But now, instead of being lost in my thoughts, I was actually lost.

I hesitated before pushing the door open, walking inside. It never hurt to explore, and it would get my mind off of Sachiel...

I peered around slowly. The room was rather dim with six, glowing blue chambers that reached the ceiling. The bottom looked to be covered in some kind of rock which was creeping up the pillar. I moved closer to one of them and nearly stumbled over when I saw someone was inside.

I bit my lip, hard, and leaned in closer still, squinting to see past the thick glass. I cried out and covered my mouth. It was the little girl we had kidnapped from Wonderland. I walked backwards, my entire body quivering. When I hit something soft behind me, I bit my lip and fell to my knees, covering my head. I expected to get hit from Ansem finding me in here. What if this was off-limits?

"...You're too jumpy, Destiny..."

I looked up, peering through hair and my fingers. "...S-Sachiel? Oh..." I relaxed, slowly dropping my arms, but I stayed on my knees. "S-Sorry, I got lost."

"You shouldn't be in here."

I slowly stood. "Why not?"

"You're just...not supposed to." He murmured, grabbing my shoulders and trying to steer me out of the room. I dug my heels into the ground. I wanted to know what was going on.

"Sachiel, tell me what's going on! Why are the girls we kidnapped here!?"

He sighed and stayed silent for a moment before answering me. "They're Princesses the of Heart. There's seven of them, or so Lady Maleficent says."

I frowned. "Seven? We have to kidnap seven of them? Sachiel, why!?"

"Destiny, it doesn't matter. But if Ansem finds out you were in here, he'll be mad. Let's go." He started to push me out again and I went willingly, even if I wasn't happy about it. But it wouldn't be very smart to stay behind and have Ansem catch us. I was afraid of the beating he would have in store for us.

The next morning, we were called into Ansem's study. We were both kneeling, as usual.

"You two will be going to another world today and you will be dealing with Pirates. Maleficent and Riku will be accompanying you."

Sachiel almost glared at Ansem. "What? You don't trust us, or something?"

"Of course I trust you, dear Sachiel.'' The man's lips curved into a smirk. "You guys and Maleficent will be the ones watching over Riku to make sure he does his duty."

I frowned, looking to Sachiel. "Weird." I murmured with a shake of my head before looking back to Ansem.

"Riku is being briefed by Maleficent in one of the other rooms. You all will leave when they are ready."

We both nodded and stood. Sachiel muttered a, "Yes, Lord Ansem," before turning and leaving. I followed after him, really not wanting to be left with the self proclaimed 'Seeker of Darkness.'

When we got to the new world, I discovered that it was a huge Pirate Ship! The captain was a man whom, like Jafar, dressed in red, white and black. His hair was black, he had a little mustache, and he was missing a hand. His name was Captain Hook, and I decided that I liked him much better than I liked Jafar.

I sat down on the deck, crossing my arms and pressing my bare feet together. I tugged at the sleeve of the outfit that I had thrown together: a pair of black capris that I had cut to make them jagged, a pink and black striped tube-top, and lots of gold costume jewelry I had found throughout worlds we had been to.

Despite my efforts of trying to blend in with the pirates, I stuck out like a sore thumb – mostly because I was a girl, but partly because of the way I was dressed. I gave a sigh and looked at Sachiel.

He was dressed as usual, black, chains and all, and he was leaning against one of the masts of the huge ship. His arms were crossed and I couldn't see his eyes.

I leaned back all the way until I fell onto my back against the hard wooden deck. "Sachiel?"

"Yeah?" He murmured, not even shifting to look at me.

"I don't like kidnapping the princesses."

"Yeah, I know. You've told me." He murmured, a little irritated. I didn't know who he was mad at; Me, Riku, Ansem... or just the world.

"Well it's not nice." I murmured, staring up at the sky. There had to be a billion stars. And each one was a world, right? I sighed.

"What's wrong now?" He sighed, obviously not very happy anymore.

"Nothing..." I murmured, glancing over to Riku.

"You're lying. You're terrible at it, too. What's wrong?"

"Well..." I sighed, lacing my fingers together and laying them over my stomach. I thought about what I was going to say for a few moments before rolling over on my stomach, looking up at Sachiel again.

"Well? Spit it out already..."

"Well, okay. So, what if I like this guy...that I shouldn't like? 'Cause... see, he's cocky," I held out a finger. "And he's too independent, and he's violent..."

Sachiel finally shook his hair from his face, staring at me. I kicked my feet slightly, waiting for an answer.

"You like Riku... well, I'm sure that he'd be glad to screw you. Seeing as you show off your body like that all the damn time." He glared. "Like what you're wearing right now. Those pants are almost skin tight. Your shirt? Barely there."

I sat up, my mouth open. I was shocked he would say something like that ... even if it was true... It wasn't very nice! "S-Sachiel! Shut up!"

He glared at me and walked right into the Captain's Cabin, shaking his head. I glared at him as he did so and then leaned back on my hands. He was just so clueless sometimes. But I was sort-of glad that he hadn't figured it out. He couldn't find out I was already falling in love with him...

End Part Six

Author's Notes: I told you it was short, only South of about 1500 words, but a LOT of what was in the old chapter was boring and had nothing to do with the story, really. So please read and review!
