Princess Kryla
Part 2

"Mr. Millardo. The Masquerader was last detected near colony L2. Shall I set a course there, sir?" The Libra's navigator asked.

"No, I'll go in alone on the Epyon. Stay out of the way." Millardo said as he got up and headed to his gundam. "What are you up to, Kai? There must be something you're trying to do."

Kai had followed the trace she got to colony L2. There she hoped to find her elder sister, Neshia. She had two days to find her, or Kai would have to be queen. She wasn't exactly looking foward to becoming queen. Kai found a girl who looked similar to her sister on the colony. The girl had all the same features as Neshia. Yet there was no way Kai could think of to find out.

Kai managed to get a temorary job working at a bakery. The girl she thought to be Neshia worked as one of the bakers. The girl even went by the name of Neshia. Kai got along with her very well. Perhaps when their work was done, Kai would talk to her.

"Hey Neshia, are you finished with the loaves of angel bread?" Kai asked. Neshia nodded.

"Are you done, Ky?" Neshia asked. Kai smiled and nodded.

"Looks like we've finished our work early today." Kai said. "Oh, I hear that the park nearby has just been finished. You want to go check it out?" Neshia said. Kai nodded and the two left the bakery.

Duo walked around colony L2. His tracer that he had put on Kai a few months ago had shown him here. He knew that he shouldn't make her come back, but the house seemed so empty without her there. He continued to follow her.

He found himself in the new park, the same one Kai and Neshia were at. Both seemed to be so happy being together. Duo didn't even think he had the strength to even try to talk to her.

Suddenly Millardo Peacecraft walked into the park. Neshia was the first to see him.

"Why can't you leave us alone?" Neshia snapped without warning. Kai looked up at Millardo. Perhaps he would help her find out if this was Neshia or not.

"I'm not here to bother anyone." Millardo said.

"Yeah right. That's what you said three years ago. Stripped a world of it's rulers. Killed all of them but two. I fotunately, got way from you. You took my dear baby sister to this place. I think you should deserve the same fate, but you already have." Neshia said.

Kai stepped in front of her. "Leave Zechs. It's bad enough that you're imprinted into my memory, but leave my sister alone." Kai said as she looked into his blue eyes.

"Ky, what are you talking about? You're not my sister, are you?" Neshia said. Kai nodded.

"You've forgotten sister that I can change. Plus, three years locked in a building didn't help my skin either." Kai said. Neshia's indigo eyes started to water.

"Krlya? I can't believe I found you. Now we'll never be apart." Neshia said as she hugged Kai. Kai noticed that Millardo had walked away. Kai smiled and held her sister. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a flash of chestnut colored hair disappear.

I'm so sorry, Duo. Perhaps we'll be together some day. I just want to be with my sister now.

Duo walked slowly back to his shuttle. He was kicking the ground as he walked.

Why didn't you just tell me, Kai. I wouldn't have told the others. Now we both feel bad and the other will wonder why. I hope you two will be happy. I know we'll be together again someday. I'll just tell the others that I was out looking around at some stuff.

Neshia and Kai returned to their new home on colony N23. Neshia became busy gettting everything together. They had one more day before the heir had to be crowned. Kai just stayed out of the way. Organization wasn't her thing. She only followed what she was told. A servant came up to Kai.

"Princess, there is a message from Earth. I believe it's from Ms. Relena." The servant said.

Kai nodded and went to the main computer room. There on the screen stood Relena Peacecraft.

"Good day Relena. You don't know how greatful I am for your help. I apologize for my sister, though. She is busy getting things ready for her cornation tommorrow." Kai said.

"I wonder if she would mind if we had it on Earth, here in the Snactted Kingdom. I could have it ready by the time you arrive." Relena offered.

"We've imposed on you too much already. I really don't.." Kai said.

"I want to do this. Your sister may not know, but it was my brother who did this to you and I want to right it." Relena interupted.

"But helping us build the colony is more than enough." Kai said.

"What's going on, Krlya? Princess Relena." Neshia said as she entered the room. Relena looked at Neshia.

"Princess Neshia. I want to congratuate you and your people. I would like to help you with the cornation." Relena said.

"Oh, Princess Relena. You've done so much for my people already. I don't want you going out of your way to do more." Neshia said.

"Nosense. We would be more than happy to help you." Relena said.

Neshia looked to Kai and nodded. "It seems that I can't convince you otherwise. I accept your kind offer, Princess Relena." Neshia said. Kai stomped out. "I can't believe this. Now I'm going to Earth and Millardo will see the real me. This can't get any worst." Kai said to herself. Neshia quickly caught up to Kai.

"Hey, in a few hours, we'll be leaving for Earth. Don't worry. Relena and I decided on a masked ball. No one will reconize you, unless they've seen you from before. I should be the only one." Neshia said.

"Is Relena inviting anyone herself?" Kai asked.

"I think so. I don't mind. She's being more than kind enough. Gather your things and be ready to leave." Neshia said as she quickly walked off to attend to something else.

Kai frowned. Knowing Relena, he brother will be there and so will the other five people she wasn't in the mood to see again right now. Unfotunately, she had no say so in it, so she took a deep breath and went to her room to gather her things.
