Chapter Text
As Yamuraiha stepped out of the glowing portal, she immediately started to sprint down the hall of Sinbad's palace. It had been an entire year since she had been in Sindria yet she still remembered the palace inside and out. The former general ran all the way to the banquet hall and found the remaining six generals and Sinbad at the table. "Long time no see everyone!"
Everyone's attention turned to the newly dressed Yamuraiha who was standing at the entrance. Several eyes widened and several jaws dropped. Sinbad's face was a combination of both as he stared at his former general. "Sheesh, what's with you people?" Yamuraiha started to walk normally as if nothing had ever happened. "Well, anyways, I'm back. But it's only a temporary visit." "Yamuraiha! You're here!"
Sinbad stood up abruptly as he placed his hands on Yamuraiha's shoulders. "Yeah, I think I made that quite obvious." "Where have you been?!" Yamuraiha used her thumb to point behind her shoulder as she shrugged. "I used a portal to travel through time." "What?!" She shrugged again with a bored look on her face. "Yeah. Ja'far came with me, so did the others, like Alibaba and Kougyoku." "What?! Why?" "The future is much better. It's like Sindria everywhere except more modern." "More...Modern?" Yamuraiha nodded before placing her hands on her hips and smiling. "Yeah! It's much more fun! Judal and Kouha even came too!" "What?! And he hasn't killed you yet?!" "What? Of course not! Why would he-" Yamuraiha paused for a moment before the thought came to her. "Oh right. Well no, he wouldn't kill us now. He's changed a lot! Tons of people like him! He and Ja'far are now best friends or something like that. Kassim even tagged along too and we're all the best of friends!"
Everyone's eyes widened even more, including the people who already had their eyes wide open. "What?!" Sharrkan slammed the goblet in his hand on the table and stood up. "Best of friends?!" "Yeah." "Wha...How...W-Why?!" "What's so wrong about it?" "Everything that's what!" Yamuraiha rolled her eyes before placing her hands on Sinbad's to remove them from her shoulders. "Anyways, that's why I'm here!" "What?" "I wanted to bring you guys to the future!" "Wait what?!" "It'll be fun! Trust me Sinbad, you'll love it!" "No way! I'm not going to the future!" "No one asked you Sharrkan. Anyways, Sinbad, do you want to go?" "Wh-What?!" "Well? Do you?"
Sinbad stared at Yamuraiha and then looked at the others. "I...Um..." "Yamuraiha! You're here!" Everyone's attention turned to Aladdin, Morgiana, and Hakuryuu who had just entered the room. "Hi Aladdin!" "Yamuraiha, what are you wearing?" "Oh this? Just something I got into in the morning." Yamuraiha was wearing a zip denim jacket, khakis, and black flats. She didn't wear a single thing relating to her old appearance. "I usually wear something like this. Anyways, Sinbad, do you want to come?" "Come where?" "Yamuraiha's asking Sinbad to go to the future!" "The future?! Can I come?" "Sure Aladdin! Morgiana, Hakuryuu, would you like to come too?" "A-Alright..." Morgiana cocked her head to the side and then shrugged as she nodded. "Alright then, I'm guessing the others don't want to come," Yamuraiha turned her attention to the other six generals as she shook her head and looked back at Sinbad. "Do you want to come Sinbad?" "Well..." "Don't Sinbad! What will happen to Sindria if you go?! Who will protect it?" "What is there to protect Sindria from?" "Well there's...Well..." Yamuraiha and the others had left after all problems had been solved during the time, Sindria and Kou had even formed an alliance. "Well there's...Monsters!" "Which I'm sure you guys can take care of." "But still!"
Yamuraiha silenced Sharrkan with just a motion of her hand as she continued to look at the king. "So, you coming? I'm planning on asking Kouen and the others if they want to come too." "Well...I don't really think I should...Um..." "So you don't want to see the others again? Well, do you at least want to see Ja'far?" "Ja'far..." Sinbad had worried about his general in the time he was gone. Not in a relationship sort of way but the way a friend would care about a friend. They never had anything together that was like a relationship because neither found interest in the other that way. But since they were still friends, and friends cared about friends, Sinbad still had to admit that he worried about his other former general. "Well of course I worry about Ja'far." "Then you'll come with me to see him, yes?" "I..."
Sinbad paused for a moment as he pondered. He could see Ja'far again and maybe persuade both him and Yamuraiha to come back, no matter how good Yamuraiha made the future sound. "Alright. I'll go." "Great! I'll just go to Kou and we'll be on our way." Yamuraiha started to sprint back to the entrance of the banquet hall but then stopped to turn around and look at the king. "And don't pack anything. Materials will be supplied for you there. Just hang tight." Yamuraiha continued to run out of the palace, not noticing the confused look on Sinbad's face. "Materials will be supplied for you?"
The king turned to Aladdin who just shrugged.
"Maybe something they say in the future." "You're probably right..."
