I stare at the ring laying on our bed as tears roll down my face.

"What have I done?" I sit on the side of the bed and put my head in my hands. "I'm such an idiot!"

She's the only person in the world that made me feel truly happy and loved. She's the only woman I would ever cry over. And now I've lost her. I should go after her.....but I can't. I might have not taken that women to bed but we did kiss and.....I know that's where it was headed. All because I got f****ing drunk.

I grab the ring and hold it tightly, praying that this is all just a horrible nightmare that I will wake up from.

3 Years later

I'm sitting in the bar drinking (nonalcoholic of course:been sober three years) and joking around with the guys, when Boss comes in from taking a phone call.

"Hey, we might have a new mission involving a Da Vinci."

We all look up.

"It's in Miami in The States. We would be taking it straight from an auction."

"Well, that certainly doesn't sound bad." Kenshi replied.

"~Yea!We can go and hang ten with all the beach babes~" Hiro seems excited about it.

"....." Takuto still hasn't said anything, but then again he's stuffing his face with pork noodles.

"There is a catch though," Boss starts,"The informant that just contacted me, well, she's the leader of The Lost Kids. And she wants to work with us on this mission."

"Wow. That's the group of all women thieves,right? Why did she call you?" I ask. The Lost Kids is a group of American thieves who have been rising quickly in the last two or three years. I met her once with Boss at the Thieves Guild. She didn't seemed like she could be a leader.

"Because she knows we take an interest in Da Vinci paintings and she caught wind of one. The mission will be this weekend. So what do you guys say?"

They all turn and look at me. I grin cockily,"It's show time."

Later that week

After getting off the plane and checking into the hotel early, we are walking around Tampa.

"Too hot. How the hell do they live in this year round and wear jeans. It's Autumn out here. I'm gonna die." Takuto grumbles.

"We have to get him out of this heat, it's only gonna get worse." Boss looks at me. "Do you think we should head over to the location early or find something else to do?"

Hiro and Kenshi are trying to calm Takuto down. I look down the road and see the aquarium.

"Come on guys." I start walking toward it, the rest of them following, Takuto grumbling all the way.

We are going up to the counter when I see her. Long black hair with ruby red and electric blue tips. She's more muscular, but that definitely looks like her.

It can't be!? Can it? She tells us to wait one moment. It seems like she finishes whatever work it is she has on the computer and turns her attention to us.

"How may I help you?" She asks with a smile. Oh my God! Her voice and her eyes! Those blue eyes! But it can't be....it just can't be!

"Five please." I watch as she handles the transaction, trying hard to keep my rising hope....and sadness down. She hands us our tickets and Hiro and Takuto immediately take off towards the gift shops. We turn and go to walk away when..

"C'mon, Ono! Early lunch break!" A petite blonde runs up beside her. I stop and turn to look back.

"Do you think....do you think it's her?" Boss asks quietly. I'm so shocked that I can't even speak. Is it really her?
