(As I have promised I'm no longer logging Kyoko's tale in diary format. It will now be told as a regular story to include all the pretty details and what not that Kyoko could never manage to describe.

Kyoko: HEY!!)

By now Kyoko had told Yukina and Sakuya her dark deed. She explained to them that she had given up her claim as Kairi's guardian and allowed the organization to do as the please with her. She could still remember the conversation they had in her mind. "This is bad...Kyoko you didn't give up just your claim as Kairi's guardian....but as the guardian to ALL the Princesses of heart. Luckily Belle isn't in danger....but we don't know about the others." said Yukina with a worried look on her face. She remembered Sakuya's grim expression. "If the heart falters so will the key. You and Sora are more connected than anyone. Taint yourself and you'll continue to taint the exsistence he has." she said with a tone that matched her face. Kyoko sighed, "Then what do I do? I know I want to save Kairi....but what about the other princesses?" she asked. Yukina and Sakuya looked at each other and then finally Sakuya spoke. "We have to reinstate your claim as guardian...you have to prove you're willing to help all the princesses." she said.


The memory faded and Kyoko was once again in her cabin looking at the floor. What a mess she made. All because of her selfishness. Both Riku and Namine had warned her not to give in and yet here she was sitting in troubles far too deep to think about. Though the answer was clear as a whistle. Once they were done with trading in Bikanel they'd have to find the worlds of the other Princesses. They'd have to find Agrabah and Wonderland again,and the other worlds which they'd never been to. This set her journey to find Sora so behind she couldn't even grasp the concept. She'd failed. Not just herself, but everyone, everyone who had been counting on her. She sat there and slammed her head on the table she sat at. "Ouch" she mumbled. There was no time for self pitty, she had no right for it. It was time to do her job no matter what, and she'd be damn grateful for her friends willing to help her out.

She got up and paced around her cabin room. Each room aboard the Wingbeat was grand and stately, it made Kyoko feel like a Princess wandering around in a castle. She went over to the small window that was near her bed. She pulled back the long curtain and was surprised to see that they were no longer flying through space. She could see a clear azure sky and below a sea of gold. No wait...that wasn't gold at all it was... "Sand." said Kyoko in a breathless tone. It was the most beautiful sand she'd ever seen. It shimmered and shined all shades of gold, amber and orange. They had arrived in Yukina's home world. The place of her birth. The Bikanel Desert. Kyoko couldn't help but feel excitement run through her. She grabbed her shoes and slipped them on before running out of her room. She ran down the winding metal corridors until she reached the elevator that took her to the bridge. She walked in to see everyone hustling and bustling as if there was much to do. Yukina and Sakuya were bent over a large map in the center of the bridge while Riccio was busy cleaning and buffing the treasures that the girls had gotten during their last trips. Wedge was busy piloting the massive airship and Scipio was...nowhere to be found. She frowned and walked over to Yukina. "Hey where's Scip?" she asked. Yukina snorted at the question and rolled her eyes. "His majesty is in his quarters thinking.....though what he's thinking about I have no clue...nor do I care. He's just trying to run away from his work." she said with a firm nod. Kyoko giggled and then ran off from the bridge back into the corridor and stopped dead in her tracks.

A scream almost left her but she covered her mouth. A tall pale boy stood at the end of the corridor almost looking like some kind of ghost. His platinum hair and grayish eyes added to the haunting look he had about him. Though she knew this was no ghost, it was just the cook, Crisipius, Crispy for short. He was a kind sweethearted boy but he always gave Kyoko the heebee jeebees. He walked over to her wearing the same smile that was constantly plastered to his face. "Hello Miss Kyoko." he said to her greeting her formaly as always. Kyoko nodded her head and gave him a weak smile. "Hello Crispy." she said with good manners. "Seems Scipio has vanished on us again." he said with another smile though his tone indicated complete sarcasm. "Seems so" she replied with a nod. He gave her another strained looking smile. "Scipio hides so many secrets from the rest of us." he said in a mysterious tone of voice. Kyoko blinked and canted her head to the side. "What do you mean?" she asked him. "Hmm? Oh...I suppose you'll find out." he said with a smile before continuing to walk off. Kyoko turned and in an instant Crisipius was gone. It made Kyoko shiver at the thought of how quickly he moved.

She shook her head and then continued walking down the corridor and back into the elevator, like everyone else she knew where Scipio's room was located, also like everyone else she never went inside. It was a hidden rule amongst them all, it was a rule that even Yukina herself abided by. She hit the button that would take her to the floor his room was located on. When the elevator stopped she stepped out. This floor scared her for some odd reason. Scipio was the only one who lived on this floor, while everyone else shared the remaining two floors on the ship. Though this corridor had rooms as well. Rooms Kyoko was too scared to venture into. They were always unoccupied, with no one going in or out of them. She saw Scipio's door at the end of the corridor and began to walk forward, her eyes often shifting from side to side. The empty rooms gave her an eerie feeling. Once she reached Scipio's door she knocked on it. "Um, Scipio?" she called out. At once the door opened slowly though by itself. A shiver ran down her spine. Was this an invite to go in?
