They stopped looking at a huge body of water. Naomi sighed, "Sh!t..." This long walk from the forest and all it lead to was a body of water. Yui sniffed the air. "Powerful magic! Meow!!" Naomi agreed, "Yeah its close by." Lyn gasped, "A SHIP!" They turned seeing a ship gliding above the waves coming towards them. She saw someone waving at her direction. (Wait is that??...) When the ship got close the wings on the sides flapped slowly keeping it afloat. "AHOY! Well if it isn't my niece Naomi!" Naomi had tears in her eye when she looked up and watched the person jump down. The guy bowed and out stretched his arms, "Are you going to hug your uncle!" He smiled. Naomi walked slowly and picked up speed then jumped into his arms. "Uncle Yu! I never thought I see you again!" He laughed a bit when she said this. "Man you grew! Such a fine young lady. I'm sorry about what happened to Nick, he took very good care of you. What happen to your eye, Naomi?" Naomi sighed and stepped back from his grasp, "A battle, let's just say that... What brought you here? I thought you died or moved somewhere else." He crossed his arms, he was wearing a steam punk type pirate clothing. The ship was a steam punk theme. The golden black textures and the gears moving around made Naomi smile big. "Steam punk. Such an amazing theme, fits you best Uncle Yu." He laughed and looked towards his ship, "I've got someone for you to meet. Yumie!" A girl came and stood over the railing, "Well, is this your little niece!" she said has she jumped down to greet Naomi. She was wearing the same type of clothing like her uncle did. "Hello, miss Naomi. Glad to finally meet the person your uncle talks about from time to time. He was worried about you, Oh, the names Yumie." They shook hands and talked a bit. Yui sniffed around a bit having a confused look and Lyn noticed, "Something wrong, Yui?" Yui scratched her a bit, "I thought something was close... But its Nyothing..." She said with a smile. Lyn nodded feeling a bit skeptical about what she said.

"Naomi, you need a ride right? Hop on and your friends too. I know what your plan is, I saw one of there places from over the mountain. I noticed some guards, but one place isn't being guarded and it has an opening through a vent." "You sure, uncle?" He nodded. Naomi turned and got everyone together, "Alright, we're taking a ride. Uncle said we could so.. you guys ready, also he knows one of their locations... What I understand is that its over the mountain..." ShaKi froze, "That dipsh!t? Damn I thought he didn't get this far... F#$king Jean." Jean an average guy, always pushed himself on girls, a complete rude bastard. The girls were around him due to his looks, the golden hair sold the hadsome features he had. Naomi sighed, "I thought I never see him again... Always trying to touch me..." When she said this shivers went up her spine. "Nick fought him thousands of times... But he got awaya buch of those times. Sneaky bastard..." Yui hissed, "Sounds like a purrvert! I'll rip him to shreds for touch mew!" Yui grabbed Naomi's arm and held it tight. (I swear... I think I know this girl... But... She acts like she knows me because of how attached she is... She probably didn't know who I was till just now, because of her reaction. She keeps galncing and hoping I remember, but I don't.. Sorry Yui...) Everyone else got on but before Naomi a Yui got on, Yui stopped Naomi. "You don't remember me...? I was your cat... That small kitten you had when you were five.." Naomi scratched her head, "I don't remember... Wait..." Naomi glanced her up and down and looked at Yui's calico hair color.

"Hmm..." Naomi kept scratching her head. (I can't remember... Why can't I...) Yui sighed, "You were taken and lost your memory... I would stay close to you, but that was before I turned into a human..." Naomi stepped back grabbing her head. (Wait... No wonder... Yui... That cat would stay close... It was a stray, but my mom let me keep it because...) Naomi walked towards her "Mew?" Yui's eyes widen when Naomi hugged her, "My cat... That's you wasn't it..? I'm very sorry I had to think for a moment. My memory has been hazy lately.. I can't focus on much..." Yui cried and hugged Naomi with a squeeze of happiness. "Let's go buddy..." Yui nodded and got happy and they climbed aboard the ship. (My mother told me when I was thirteen, that I was taken by someone... Kept me in a basement.. When the police found me I had a soulless look. Like was dead... The color was washed out of my face and I didn't know who anyone was... Aparently I was beaten with a whip and had bruises up and down my body including the private areas, I was different from then. I knew I was afraid from people touching me, but before I was told it was natural... When I told Nick, he held me close and told me to not worry and he wasn't going to do that bad stuff to me... When I think about this I can only think about that face, my face, sitting lifeless not careing what happened just glad the pain stopped...) Naomi gazed into the ocean, "I wished I never remember that... I don't understand why I was picked... I didn't..." Naomi sighed "F#$k my childhood, right now it doesn't exist... This is the present, right now this is me. But... I can't just forget, its a hell that lives in my head..." She said to the sky. (Dad...)
