Third's P.O.V

Amyra appeared beside her with a small smile on her face contrast on the face that her niece is making. 'Well, shall you put your daggers back first and watch how you b~o~y~f~r~i~e~n~d fight first?'  

"Hakuryuu isn't my boyfriend you stupid aunt!!!"

'Ouch...that hurts a lot Ly-chan. You musn't say that to your aunt specially to your mother's sister. Who knows what'll happen if she gor wind of it.' 

"She wouldn't if you won't tell her." Lyra countered. "Unless you're pride can take it, letting your YOUNGER SIBLING do your task.." 

Amyra's eyebrows visibly twitched. Seems like Lyra's words struck something in her. Lyra rolled her eyes and looked in front of her as Hakuryuu faced the masked pirates on. At the next second, Lyra made a confused face,'What did Hakuryuu do to dodge those water?'

"You still soooo adorable Ly-chan~ Seems like your boyfriend is also capable eh?"

"What did you mean stupid aunt?" Amyra disregarded the rude word and instead looked at the fight with a distant smile. Her eyes bluried and she got a distant look in her eyes when Lyra observed the sudden behaviors, '??'

"Zagan is an earth-affinity djiin therefore water element attacks are of no effect on him. You should atleast know that much Ly-chan~" Lyra turned her head sharply huffing and watched as Hakuryuu managed to defeat the pirates that all lunged into him at the same time cornering him. Alibaba screamed while Hakuryuu just mantained his calm look and raised his hands as his fingers turn to that of a wood and suddenly blew the mask pirates away. Lyra blinked and wiped her eyes thinking that it is only her imagination to find a dragon in the form of the wood hovering over Hakuryuu's form connected to his left arm.

"This is the end..."

Hakuryuu stated calmly. Lyra couldn't help but clap her hands since the fight ended one sided. It escalated fast that she didn't have to raise her hand to interupt. Lyra's eyes twinkled in delight lowering her guard completely that she didn't notice it at first. Amyra smiled and started to give out a strange look beside her. Lyra opened her mouth to get Hakuryuu's attention when she felt a small hand gripped her arm tightly and covered her mouth not giving her the chance to do what she planned.

Lyra's eyes widened when she can't find any strength in her body at all. Her eyes trailed over to her aunt with a strange face with an accusing gaze which Amyra returned with a slight sheepish look. Amyra closed her right eye and stuck her tongue out childishly, 'Sorry Ly-chan~ bear with it for a while....'

Lyra's gaze burned through Amyra's form and a part of her body started vanishing as Lyra caught the childishlook on her aunt's face before completely disappearing.

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!!!"

Lyra heard the her assailant shout in her ears as she felt a sharp pain in her neck. Something dripped but she couldn't check what it is since this boy is currently restraining her helpless form. Lyra felt all the gaze turn to her when the boy shouted. She could see her friends' suprised face when they saw her and she only gaze out a sheepish look as she felt the hand on her mouth tightened its hold. "Try anything and else you'll see this girl's head off."

"Lyra!!!" Aladdin shouted.

Aladdin and Alibaba sheathed their weapons in alarm but the boy deepened whatever sharp object he has on her neck. Something dripped to her clothes and that made Aladdin and Alibaba stop in their tracks.

"That's right. Just be good and hand us the cargo."

Alibaba, Aladdin, Morgiana and Hakuryuu didn't do anything as the masked pirates carried the cargo out of the ship. The boy just quietly watched over them as he held Lyra in hostage. After a few minutes, the boy hopped inside one of the bubbles with Lyra still in hostage, hakuryuu immediately placed a seed on the last cargo  that's behind him as the mask pirate finally took it and carried it to their ship. After seeing that the cargos are all now loaded in their ship, he gaze Aladdin a final look and said, "See Yah!!!"

The ship that's inside the bubble and the bubble in which carried the boy and lyra submerged underwater immediately as Aladdin and Alibaba rushed to the ship's rail and look below, "Those bastards...They escaped into the sea..."

"They took Lyra!!!"

Hakuryuu clenched his fists but said nothing. It was rather strange that Lyra didn't fought the boy, something must have happened.

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

As soon as the bubble submerged underwater, Lyra's consciousness blanked out as she felt a sharp pain tingling on her neck. The next thing that she knew, she is sitting at what seemed to be a port as she leaned on the cargo earlier for support. Hearing a loud commotion somewhere, Lyra struggled to see what's happening. It seemed like her feet got twisted and is now aching red as she restrained the pain inside her.  The moment she peeked, she saw running pirates to one of a cave entrance hurrying as they took off their masks immediately. Lyra's face blanked to find that the pirates are just kids making excited faces. Lyra blinked as if she couldn't believe what she's seeing.

"What the......."Lyra could't help but mutter that she didn't see a girl standing behind her.

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

So................After minutes of walking, they arrived in what seemed to be a dinner hall. All she could see are children from different ages in front of her eating noisily as a woman sat at the front carrying kids; one that seemed asleep while the other chatters loudly.

'What's up with these kids? They are sooo MANY!!'

"Come inside, Mother has heard of you..."

The girl led her to the woman at the center and they passed through plenty of kids that seemed to be enjoying themselves. Lyra didn't know it herself and can't help but ask herself how she managed to pass in the middle of the feasting kids.

"Is this the girl?" The woman asked gently. The girl nodded.  Lyra didn't dare to look at the woman casually. Memories flooded her mind. Memories she didn't want to reminise. "Poor Girl.....Place her with the town kids...Hopefully she'll join the family soon..."

Lyra felt her shiver down to her spine. The girl led her to the other room wherein different kids are tied and gagged. Lyra sat on the corner and pursed her lips not speaking any thing. One of the kids with light hair looked at her in confusion but she remained silent. "Olga!! This is Bad!! T-The Ship...!!"

Lyra ignored the ruckus outside and just hugged her knees as she body started to reveal her shivering form. Her eyes started to narrow and her breathing quickened. Her eyes turned glossy and anyone could see how pitiful her state is. "H-Haku...............r...yuu."
