Kaye was finished telling her tale of the past to her friends. The silence that came after her explanation is what Kaye knew what would happen. So Kaye put the dream dagger back into her pocket and quietly left the room. No one knew what to say, they were all too stunned to say anything at all.
"I knew that if I told them about that part of my past was a bad idea, but they had to know why I was acting so distant." thought Kaye to herself. Kaye opened up the door to her room and started packing. Lightning was in Kaye's room and noticed that she was upset so he decided to see why.
'Kaye, what happened, did you and Kento have a fight?' asked Lightning.
'No Lightning, we didn't have a fight, I told them a part of my past that I was hoping that I would never have to go through again.' replied Kaye sadly.
'What are you doing then, running away?' asked Lightning.
'No Lightning I'm not running from my past, I'm running towards it. I have some unfinished business to take care of. I have to go back to that village that I left a long time ago, if I'm ever going to be fully at peace with the ghosts of my past.' answered Kaye.
'When were you thinking of going, now when everyone is downstairs or in the middle of the night when they are all alseep? Well know this Kaye, whatever you decide to do, I'm going to go with you. We are partners after all, right.' said Lightning.
'Thank you Lightning that would probably be the best thing right at this moment.' replied Kaye.
'Hey someone has to watch your back!' said Lightning with a wink. Kaye winked back and hid her backpack so the others wouldn't be able to find it. Kaye began to write two separate letters, one to everyone in general and one specifically for Kento. Kaye also hid the two letters until later tonight.
Meanwhile the others were all still downstairs, finally the silence was broken. "So that's why Kaye has been so distant, I knew that something was wrong but I couldn't imagine that it would be something like this." said Kento quietly.
"I know Kento, I'm surprised that she was able to keep it inside of her for so long." replied Cye.
"Well what do we do now?" asked Ryo.
"What can we do Ryo, we don't have a clue on how to even approach this, so what do you suggest that we do?" asked Sage.
"Guys stop it, this arguement is getting us nowhere, somehow we need Kaye to try and tell us more." said Mia. Kaye and Lightning were on top of the stairs listening to the conversation that was going on.
"What else do you need to know?" asked Kaye quietly. Everyone jumped when Kaye spoke.
"Kaye, you don't have to talk about it any more if you don't want to." said Rowen.
"Thanks Rowen, but I think that since it's out in the open I better answer your questions." replied Kaye.
"We'll only ask if you want us to, if you feel that the questions are too painful to answer then we'll understand." said Mia.
"No it's fine, just ask already and let's get this over with." replied Kaye.
"Kaye is this guild far from here?" asked Cye.
"It's about a two day walk from here." replied Kaye.
"What's the name of the guild?" asked Rowen.
"It's called Mekio, hey I know what you guys are leading up to and all of you can just forget it so don't even go there." said Kaye with a hint of anger rising in her voice.
"Kaye we just want to help you, please let us." said Kento as he got up and walked towards Kaye. Kaye didn't noticed that Kento was right in front of her now. He knelt down and met his eyes with Kaye's. Somehow Kaye knew that she always felt better when Kento was with her. With tears threatening to come down, Kaye quickly turned and walked to the door and headed outside with Lightning close in tow.
"I'm sorry Kento, I hope that someday you'll understand and most of all, be able to forgive me. If I don't do this on my own, I'll never be free of my past." whispered Kaye.
"No! How can she just take off like that, doesn't Kaye know how much I want to help her?" asked Kento as he restrained himself from breaking any of Mia's furniture.
"We all want to help her Kento, but Kaye will come back here on her own, I think that she needs a little time to cool off. Come on Kento, I'll make you something to eat, what do you say to that." said Cye.
"Sorry Cye, but I'm not hungry I just want to be alone ok." replied Kento sadly.
"Sure Kento no problem." said Cye. Everyone watched Kento in shock when he left the room.
"Wow he's taking this really hard, it's not like Kento to pass up food." said Sage.
"Sage, how can you joke about something like that?" asked Mia with a hint of anger. Sage threw a glance at Mia that told her he wasn't joking around. He was just as worried as the rest of them.
"Oh, I see, I'm sorry Sage." replied Mia.
"It's ok Mia, but seriously what can we do, does anyone have any ideas?" asked Sage.
Outside not too far away Kesi was watching with interest to the event that just took place. "Well now isn't that interesting, I thought for sure that Kaye would of never told them about that part of her life. This could be a problem, but then again it could also work towards my advantage as well. Oh great Phoenix I call upon you!" called Kesi. Phoenix came to surface and was wondering what Kesi wanted.
"Kesi what do you want?" asked Phoenix.
"Phoenix, could you possibly show me what is taking place in my old guild right now?" asked Kesi.
"Of course I can, but why do you want to know?" asked Phoenix.
"I want to see who I can have to fight along my side against Kaye." answered Kesi.
"Oh yes I do see where you are going with this, I'll show you what has happened since you died until now, but then I have to leave your body because you are now ready to deal with her on your own." replied Phoenix. Kesi nodded in understanding, then Phoenix conjured up a magical looking glass that showed Kesi what happened in the last few years. He saw a very strong young man that has great fighting strength. The young man was also very cunning and could adapt to any situation. He was in a sparring match that had at least five guys in the same rank as him attack at the same time. The young man won with no problem. But there was also something very familar about him that kept Kesi's attention. "Yes Kesi, he is your son, his name is Tenichi. You didn't remember that you have a son did you?" asked Phoenix.
"Does he remember what happened a few years ago, during the battle between me and Kaye?" asked Kesi impatiently.
"Of course he does Kesi, Tenichi was there when it was going on, his feelings towards Kaye are the same as yours. So you have someone else to help you defeat her. Now I must leave, you are more than ready to exact your revenge, but keep in mind the bargin that we made Kesi." warned Phoenix.
"Yes, yes I'll remember Phoenix." answered Kesi. With that, Phoenix vanished from Kesi's body and Kesi started his venture back to Mekio. "Soon Kaye very soon we'll meet face to face and there will be noting that you or your friends can do to stop us from completing our revenge on you." said Kesi.
The phoenix reappeared in the shadows of the trees, and watched Kesi leave. "We'll see on how you fair against her now vs then Kesi. Kaye is more powerful now than before, but if you fail, oh well I can always find others to take your place." mused Phoenix before she faded away.
"I knew that if I told them about that part of my past was a bad idea, but they had to know why I was acting so distant." thought Kaye to herself. Kaye opened up the door to her room and started packing. Lightning was in Kaye's room and noticed that she was upset so he decided to see why.
