The young woman screamed as the bold of lightning hit her. She smiled warmly even though pain was rippling through her body.

"This was fun Raitei." She said as she fell to the ground.

Ginji's eyes shot open. The memory, no, nightmare had haunted him for the past few nights. It had been years since he thought of her so why now? Why was he thinking about her and thank dreadful night?

"Ginji, what's wrong?" A sleepy voice asked. Ginji looked over at Ban. His friend's eyes were half-opened.

"Nothing, just a nightmare." Ginji said with a weak smile.

"Ok." Ban said before falling back to sleep. Ginji waited a while until he was sure that Ban was completely asleep before he left the car.

Ginji sighed as he began walking away from Miss Ladybug. He walked absent-mindedly until he ended up at an entrance to the Limitless Fortress. He was a bit shock that he had ended up there and he sighed sadly.

"Mr Ginji?"

Ginji turned around and saw Kazuki.

"Hello Kazuki." Ginji said softly.

"What's wrong? And where's Ban?" Kazuki asked.

"He's back at the car. He doesn't know I'm here. I had a nightmare about her…"

"Ah I see. Mr Ginji, I think it's about time you knew the truth." Kazuki said with a sad smile.

Ban let out a growl as he lit his cigarette. He had woken less than an hour ago to find Ginji missing. He had tried looking with no luck and ended up at the Honky Tonk in case Ginji turned up.

"So how did you manage to lose Ginji?" Paul asked as he put a cup of coffee in front of Ban.

"I just woke up and he wasn't there." Ban replied, "I bet the idiot went for a walk and got lost."

Paul looked out the window and his eyes widen. Ban noticed and looked out the window too. He noticed flashes coming from the Limitless Fortress.

"Oh no, that can't be him." Ban said concerned. He growled, "That idiot. Why is he there?"

Ban stubbed out his smoke and ran out the door to his beloved Miss Ladybug.

"WHERE IS SHE?" Raitei yelled as he flung Juubei back with an electrical bolt

"We promised we wouldn't tell you Mr Ginji. Before she provoked that battle with you, she told us she wanted to leave." Makubex said as he peek his head out from behind Emishi.

"She didn't want to break your heart. So she decided that she had to fake her death." Kazuki added.

"AND YOU AGREED?" Raitei sent a bolt of electricity towards Kazuki, sending the thread spinner flying back.

"She assumed that you would turn into Raitei if she broke your heart by abandoning you and that you would hurt a lot of people. Having you think you killed her would minimise damaged. We all agreed." Makubex said.

Raitei was about to raise his arm to send a bolt towards Emishi and Makubex when he suddenly went flying across the room. Now standing where Raitei once stood was Ban Midou.

"You moron. How dare you become the Lightning Emperor?" He shouted.

"Midou, where'd you come from?" Emishi asked shocked at the Jagan user's sudden appearance.

"Does it matter? What happened here?" Ban asked angrily.

"They lied to me. They all lied."

Ban looked over at his friend who had reverted back to his usual self. Ban walked over to Ginji and carefully asked, "About what Ginji?"

"About her. The only woman I truly loved." Ginji said sadly. All the anger had disappeared from the young blonde, only to be replaced by sadness.

"Go to the care. It's outside. I'll be out in a minute."

Ginji nodded and walked away. Ban waited for him to be completely gone before turning around and facing Makubex, who had come out from behind Emishi.

"What was this all about?" Ban asked, his voice laced with anger.

"Long before you took our leader, he was in love. Her name was Kyoko Shiori, the Empress of Night. She was incredibly beautiful, with flowing jet black hair and the darkest blue eyes I've ever seen. Everyone was amazed by her beauty. Mr Ginji quickly fell in love with her and she fell in love with him too." Makubex said.

Kyoko lay on the roof of an outer building of the Limitless Fortress. She loved staring at the night sky. She found the stars so beautiful.

"Miss Kyoko, what are you doing up here?" Kazuki asked as he walked over to her and sat down.

"I'm admiring the stars. They are so beautiful. I believe their beauty surpasses my own." Kyoko replied as she looked from the stars to Kazuki.

"A lot of men here would disagree." Kazuki said as he lay down next to her.

"That's only because they don't see the beauty that the stars hold… Kazuki, I want to leave this place." Kyoko said as she looked back at the stars.

"Why Miss Kyoko?" Kazuki asked curiously.

"This place is horrible and has little beauty. I can't take it anymore, I just want to leave."

"But what about Ginji?"

Kyoko let out a sad sigh, "I can't break his heart. He might not handle it and he could hurt innocent people."

"That is true." Kazuki agreed.

"He has to think he killed me. I believe that's the only option. If he were to think I was killed by someone else's hands he would stop at nothing to hunt them down. But if he were to think that he killed me, the loss of innocent life will be minimal."

"I understand."

"Kazuki, tell the other three kings. I die in two days."

Ban looked at Kazuki who had taken over explaining what happened.

"So you all agreed to it?" Ban asked.

"Yes and we kept it secret from Ginji for a few years now." Kazuki replied.

"So why tell him?"

"Kyoko said he would forget her forever but she's returned to Shinjuku a few days ago and I'm guessing Ginji felt her presences like the rest of us did. One of Shido's animals saw her but she hasn't approached any of us. He began remembering her. So I decided to tell him. It's about time he knew." Kazuki said.

"I see. Well I better go and I believe all of you should avoid Ginji for the time being. Make sure you tell monkey trainer that too." Ban said before stalking off.

Tears streamed down Ginji's face. Kyoko was still alive and she had left him. She abandoned him. Ginji loved her so much and believed that she loved him in return. The car door opened, tearing Ginji from his line of thought. He wiped away his tears and looked over at Ban.

"Ban…" He said weakly.

"Thread spinner and the computer brat explained what happened. I would have been pissed off too. Hevn call on my way to the car. She has a job for us. Do you think you'll be up to it?" Ban asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." Ginji said softly. Ban started up the car and drove to the Honky Tonk.
