"Alright Kento what's up, what's wrong?" asked Cye.
"There's something that is bothering Kaye and she won't talk to me about it. Ever since we got back from Duelist's Island she has been distant." replied Kento.
"What do you mean?" asked Cye.
"Well during our match today, we would have gone into overtime, but Kaye got distracted. Then after our match she walked away to check out what distracted her, but she claimed that she was just walking the landing off I think she found something, but she won't show me what it is. When Kaye turned around, I actually saw something that I thought that I wouldn't ever see, I saw fear in Kaye's eyes Cye. Fear, I don't believe it. What would scare Kaye that much?" said Kento.
"I don't really know Kento, but I think that everyone should be included in this. Come on, let's get everyone inside and get to the bottom of whatever is going on, ok." replied Cye.
Not too far off, Kaye was trying to convince herself that an old memory wasn't coming back. "No it can't be him, he has been dead for a long time now, then what the heck did I see? This was his, so it has to be true, but why now, of all the times to appear why now? I know that Kento is way beyond concerned, he and the others probably are wondering what's the deal with me lately. I guess it's time to tell them about my past, this won't be easy for them to hear and it won't be easy for me to tell. Man I hate this, keeping my past from them, it's not fair and it's not right. I have to face it sooner or later." thought Kaye to herself.
"Kaye it's time to come inside." called Ryo.
"Ok Ryo I'm coming." Kaye called back as she walked to the Koji mansion. When Kaye entered, she noticed that everyone was sitting down waiting for her to join them.
"Hey guys what's up?" asked Kaye.
"We were about to ask you the same thing Kaye." replied Mia.
"What do you mean?" asked Kaye.
"Come on Kaye don't act like nothing is going on, ever since we got back from Duelist's Island, you have been acting so distant, what's the deal?" asked Kento. Kaye turned away from them and walked to the window. When Kaye got there, she waited a little longer to reply, but before her explanation Kaye took out the object that she has been hiding.
"It's a long story, after it's told I hope that you will still consider me a friend, and Kento I hope that you will still want to be with me, but if you don't I'll understand. The story takes place a long time ago, well before Mia and I first became friends and also before I recieved my armor. You see most of my life I've been a loner, traveling from place to place learning new things wherever I went. During my travels I came upon a guild that I stayed with for a while. Anyway, when I met the guild leader he noticed that I had a special ability. He was the one that helped me to start to develop my dream walking. His son Kesi was jealous of the fact that his father was teaching an outsider how to develop their ability instead of his own." said Kaye.
"So far Kaye it sounds lonely, but we don't see where it would change our minds about you." said Ryo.
"This is only the beginning of the story Ryo. You see Kesi decided that he would try and get me casted out from their guild. So he convinced the council that it was time to go for a battle to the death. Kesi's father told his son that there would be no need for the challange. Kesi was very good at convincing the council otherwise. So the challange went on as planned. A few hours later, the council had a battle field all ready to go. The council told the people from the guild not to interfere in any manner. Then the battle began, Kesi was the best fighter of the guild there was no question about it. That is how I got these scars on the middle of my back." said Kaye as she showed them.
"Kaye." whispered Mia.
"Anyway Kesi was so filled with anger and jealousy that he created a weapon of his own. It's called the dream dagger, this dagger is the one that I found earlier today. The dream dagger is a very powerful weapon, it can only be created by a dream walker. The dagger is a weapon of absolute power, it has the ability to destroy one's psyche beyond compare. It could even be fatal, based only on the creator's emotional state. In other words, it can kill just by having a small cut or it could also heal. Anyway, as I was saying, the battle raged on even further, Kesi's father couldn't take it any more, so he decided to put it to an end. I was on the ground trying to get myself back into the battle, when Kesi was about to deliver the finishing strike, his father came between us. Kesi's father was fast, but not fast enough, he got hurt, we didn't realize how bad until it was too late. Kesi's father died at his own son's hands, and I couldn't do anything to stop it." said Kaye.
"Kaye it wasn't your fault, he jumped in and stopped Kesi from killing you." replied Rowen.
"The story still doesn't end there Rowen. You see even though his father died, Kesi had this wild look in his eyes and came at me like he had nothing else to lose. I had to do the only thing possible, I didn't want to do it but he left me with no choice. It was him or me, so in a act of desperation I somehow knocked out his dream dagger out of his hands, it landed next to me Kesi came at me again, so I picked it up and I stabbed him with it. He held the dagger with both hands and fell to his death. I had his blood on my hands as well as his father's, before Kesi died he whispered that he would get his revenge for me killing his father and him.
Then he died, the council decided that it would be a good idea for me to leave and never come back. Given the circumstance I agreed, but not before there was a decent funeral for Kesi's father and Kesi. The council members agreed with my request about the funeral for Kesi's father, but not for Kesi. Kesi died with no honor so his spirit was bannished to the spirit realm for eternity. So then after the funeral I left never to come back.
Then towards the end of our sparring match Kento, I thought that I saw Kesi. I was trying to convince myself that it wasn't him so that is why I walked off. I found this embedded into a nearby tree, so I knew that he was there. When Kento, Lightning and I were caught in the portal, I had some I guess you can call them ghosts that decided to pay me a visit right then and there. What they say is true, one's past can come back and haunt you." explained Kaye.
"There's something that is bothering Kaye and she won't talk to me about it. Ever since we got back from Duelist's Island she has been distant." replied Kento.
"What do you mean?" asked Cye.
"Well during our match today, we would have gone into overtime, but Kaye got distracted.
