Alibaba's P.O.V

The moment my eyes met Lyra's blue eyes, I knew I couldn't help myself and let my feelings shown. Her lips tugged up as the both of us struggled to let the things we kept on hiding, I kept on hiding to them, especialy to that person.

"Okay that's enough. It's not funny anymore", Hakuryuu's irritated voice said. And my feelings broke out since I can't help it anymore.

"HahhahahhaHaahHaAhAhahahhahhahahaahaaahHaAhAhaaahahHaAhHaHaHAhAahH!!!!!" Both of us laughed out loudly. I mean, I know that hes just a kid back then, but to fall for Lyra's tricks easily for many times? That's crazy!!

"I'i'm sorry... its just very funny." Lyra said wiping the forming tears on her eyes. Her hair is a mess and so are her clothes. Her hair fell to her face though it doesn't make her less appealing.

Hakuryuu's face flushed when his eyes met Lyra's blue eyes. It's funny really, there friendship is funny. It is like Lyra and Hakuryuu reminded of me and Cassim. He would tease me a lot too like what Lyra is doing.

"Lyra-san is really a wonderful person, ne Alibaba-kun?" Aladdin asked of me and I couldn't help but nodd in agreement. At first, I thought she is a mysterious person but it turns out that she us extremely shy and talked to us only because of Aladdin.

"Ne, Alibaba-kun, shall we tell her?" Aladdin's eyes turned serious as did mine. I looked at Lyra and her head turned to me confusedly.

"Alibaba..?"

Lyra's P.O.V

I looked at the four of them confused. What's with the sudden change of atmosphere?

"Lyra, we're—"

"Oh, it seems that Lyra here is awake." Sinbad entered the hallway walking casualy in the middle of the atmosphere. He looked confused at the situation so I smiled like I usually does and turned to the purple-head king.

"Hello King Sinbad, To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"

Sinbad stared at my orbs and smiled, "Just checking up on you. Besides, we never had the chance to spar after all this mess, so I thought, why not now?"

I brightened at his words and stood up excitedly at his invitation. I dragged Sinbd outside before the four could protest at the idea.'seriously, those four are such a spoil sport.'

I heard Sinbad chuckled in pure amusement and chuckled myself at my silliness. Of course, the can't stop me if they tried.

"Is this place, okay?" I asked. This is the place where they sparred with Alibaba and this is the first thing that came to my mind.

"Sure, just tell me when you're ready." I smirked which evidently suprised him. My personality changes when I'm on a fight and I'm proud off it. After all, how could I be ashamed of it if I actually like it?

I took out my small twin daggers and braced myself for an attack that Sinbad may tackle. Letting my grip on the daggers loosen, i eyed his movements warily as he took out his sword. 'Taking his damn sweet time...? Now, I can't ignore that.'

In a flash, I dissapeared and he looked around suprised that he cant sense my presence completely. Knowing he cant drop his guard, Sinbad readied his sword making me chuckle to myself. 'Just what I expected...'

I reappeared on his back and I'm not suprised that he blocked it. With his sword in his hand, he clashed with my daggers and pushed me back.

It's obvious that Sinbad had much strength with his body of his. I jumped back to the ground as my footwork got messed up when it contact the ground. I smirked for a second and another round of clash started without any magoi being used.

----------------------------------------------------

"Waaahhh~!" I slumped to the ground as Sinbad brushed his clothes. Sinbad is really a strong person. So far, I only managed to cut some parts of his body and actually manage to caught him off guard, that happened only 2 or 3 times the whole fight.

"You're pretty good yourself." Sinbad said as he smile down to me. Man, if only he erase that stupid smile of his, then I could say that he fully got my respect. He only has half of mine now because of it.

"It seems like your swordmanship is pretty good. How about your use of magoi?"

Third's P.O.V

"It seems like your swordmanship is pretty good. How about your use of magoi?" As soon as those words have left his mouth, Darkness ruled his vision but he kept his calm on. 'What happened?' Sinbad asked to himself.

Hearing something fell to the ground, he whipped his eyes to the right where it came from based on his hearing. Silence once again ruled him and for a moment something flashed before his eyes that made him dazed for moments.

"Sinbad? Hello? You still there?!" Lyra waved her hands infront of Sinbad's eyes. What did Sinbad saw that made him like this? Lyra knew her spell very well.

Nightmare Realm is a spe that cuts off all the senses of the body. Normally, any person would go mad just from being cut from his senses but this is Sinbad of the Seven Seas she is talking about.
When the spell cutted off the senses, it would pull something from the memories and create the nightmare that the victim never expect to happen. 'I shouldn't have casted it on him...'

"Sinbad..?!"

Sinbad's eyes flashed back to color and Lyra jumped when she felt his hand on her arm. "U-uh King S-Sinbad?"

Lyra froze when she saw his gaze. Even from her distance, she could clearly saw her reflection from his orbs and started to shake at the intensity of the face that the king is making.

"N-no!.....S-Stay..A-away..!!" Something red flashed from Lyra's eyes and she started shaking uncontrollably. Luckily, the famed right hand of Sinbad who is searching for the King who apparently skipped his king duties once again and found the state they're on.

Sin's face is looking at Lyra's face but the said girl is currently trembling while seating at the ground. Ja'Far's instincts kicked in and he immediately separated the two. The attendant couldn't know the intensity of the grip that the king had inflicted but he could only estimate. "Are you okay, Lyra?"

Lyra's once mischievous glint in her eyes vanished and replaced by fear. Only fear could be seen on those eyes. Fear that overwhelmed the anguish, the hurt and remorse that glint now in her eyes.

"I.........i..." Lyra tried to say but tears betrayed her and fell fast from her face quickly. Ja'Far could only watch as his king fainted in his arms. 'Ugh...what to do?.... How could I place Sin in his chambers if I can't leave Lyra here? Hmm..."

"Oy Ja'Far! What happened?!"

As if an angel heard his problems, Sharkkhan happened to walk by with Hinahoho and Drakon in suit. 'Thank Goodness....It'll be a pain to take the both of them.'
