Sightless
Chapter 3
Both of the GetBackers were pushed into the abandon warehouse. Kazuki and Shido closed the door as a hail of bullets hit the door. Ban rolled off of Ginji and continued until he was a few feet away. Kazuki and Shido went to Ginji as he sat up. Himiko knelt by Ban. He was on his side with his back to Ginji and the others.
"Ginji, are you alright?" Kazuki asked. Ginji smiled at Kazuki.
"I'm fine Kazuki!"
"But didn't get hit by the bullet?" Shido asked. Kazuki and Shido watched Ginji blink.
"What Bullet?" He said. Ban stood up slowly hiding his left arm. Himiko glared at Ban as he waved her off. Shido and Kazuki looked at Ban as he continued forward without looking at them. "Ban-chan?"
"Look...." Himiko whispered as the lights went on. Ginji and the other two looked up at the platform leading to the stairs to see spikey silver hair and blue eyes that were identical to Ban's. Ginji looked at the man, then at Ban. Their eyes were alike.
"Thiras," Ban whispered as he glared at the man. Ginji stood with Shido and Kazuki. Everyone had their eyes on Thiras, waiting for him to answer.
"Ah, Ban...so lovely to see you here. I thought after that accident earlier today you would have stayed home." Thiras spoke.
"His voice....it is similar to Ban's...." Kazuki whispered. Himiko moved up next to Ban with her hands at her belt.
"Ah, Himiko...I hear Ban killed your brother." Thiras smirked. Ban's glare hardened as Himiko flinched. "Why don't you come with me, I'm better than that murderer."
"Ban isn't a Murderer!" Ginji shouted at the man.
"Ah, the ever faithful partner Ginji Amano. I know a lot about you Raitei..." Thiras said softly. Ban growled at the man.
"Why did you steal Mirage's statue Thiras?" Himiko asked. Thiras laughed as men began to flood into the room, surrounding the recovery group.
"Ask Ban Himiko-chan, he knows." Thiras said. "Haven't you told anyone Ban? Have you told them who you really are?"
"Ban-chan?" Ginji looked Ban. He was sweating slightly as he gripped his left arm. Ginji looked down at Ban's feet to see a pool of blood. Ban got hit by the bullet...The jagan man stepped back as he glared Thiras.
"Snake for brains! What is he talking about?" Shido ask as he turned toward the circling men with Kazuki. The thread master glanced back at Ban. It seems Ban has more in depth connection to this mission than any of us.
"Shall I tell them Ban-kun?" Thiras emphasised 'Ban-kun'. Ban suddenly smirked and stood tall.
"Blackmailing me? That's low even for you Thiras..." The man on the balcony narrowed his eyes. "We came for the statues. So you can hand them over the easy way or the hard way. You know the hard way is always been my favorite." Ban said. Thiras growled and pounded on the railing.
"Kill them! Bring me back my prize!" He bellowed in the abandoned building. The scores of men charged at the group. Shido smirked.
"About time for some action!" Shido said as he jumped at the men. Kazuki pulled his bell from his hair and whipped his threads at the men. Ginji was with Himiko and together they were sending lightning bolts and flames at the men.
"Where is Ban?" Kazuki called from the center of a group of men. His threads encircled them and yanked them back slamming them into the wall.
"He's making his way to Thiras!" Himiko shouted hoarsely. She held her throat as she breathed flames out again.
Ban made his way swiftly the Thiras and jumped onto the balcony. Thiras attack Ban once he landed. Ban was sent back into the other railing, his back arching over the railing. Thiras was suddenly over Ban holding his neck. He smirked and pushed Ban back over the railing more.
"You are nothing to me Ban!" Thiras hissed. "You are nothing but a speck! An insignificant speck that gets in the way." His grip tightened. Ban grabbed his hand and started to apply his 200 kg force grip to it. Thiras leaned down to Ban and whispered in his ear. "Although dear brother, we are alike in more ways than one. Hand over the other two statues and your partner and I will all you to live."
"I would rather die!" Ban shouted as he brought up his knee and pushed Thiras away. The grip around his neck wouldn't let go though. Ban was dragged to his knees before Thiras.
"That can be arranged Ban!" Thiras said as he turned to the fighting. Most of his men were out and the other were backing away. "Himiko!" Lady Poison turned to Thiras.
"BAN!" She shouted. Kazuki put a barrier before the rest of the men before turning the balcony. His eyes widened. Ban was on his knees before Thiras. His side was bleeding and so was his arm.
"How..." Shido whispered as he saw. He couldn't believe that Midou would be topped by a guy like Thiras. Ginji was also looking, but the look of unbelief in his eyes. Thiras held Ban's neck as he back handed his face. Ban's head snapped toward the side, his cheek red and the corner of his mouth bleeding. His purple sunglasses flew off his face and skidded on the ground to Ginji's feet, cracked.
"I have one demand Himiko." Thiras said calmly as Ginji picked up Ban's sunglasses. "Hand over Raitei." Ginji's eyes widened.
"Me...?"
"What?" Kazuki said.
"You're insane!" Shido shouted. Thiras smirked and raised Ban high enough to slam the side of his head into the railing. Ban didn't make a sound. Ginji watched as blood dripped from the side of Ban's head.
"Your choice Himiko..." Thiras nearly purred in victory.
"I..."
"Himiko..." Ban croaked. "Remember what I told you...if you..." Thiras grip tightened. "Ginji...don't you dare...hand yourself over." Ban looked at them from the corner of his eye.
"Shut up!" Thiras punched Ban in the stomach. "Answer the question Himiko!"
"I think he answered for me..." Himiko said softly. She looked back at Ginji.
"But Himiko! We have to save Ban!" He looked angry. Kazuki put a hand on Ginji's shoulder and looked at him. "Kazu-chan...please Ban..."
"I think he can help himself," Kazuki whispered. Ginji looked back to see Ban staring into Thiras's eyes.
"No!" Thiras shouted as Ban suddenly pried his grip open and vault toward the railing as Thiras was trapped in a dream. He slid over the edge and fell to the ground. He rolled as he hit the ground and sat there. Shido appeared beside Ban and lifted him up. He walked to Kazuki and Ginji with Ban hanging off him. Kazuki and Ginji took Ban between them and held them.
"Ban-chan! Are you alright? Ban-chan!" Ginji asked worriedly.
"Let's...get out of here..." Ban whispered as he barely held himself up.
"BAN!" Thiras yelled as he turned to the leaving group. "KILL THEM ALL!" Kazuki, Ban, and Ginji were at the door as they turned to see the men hold up guns toward them. Himiko and Shido were trying to open the doors again.
"Itomaki...help them open the door." Ban said as he stood up a bit leaning on Ginji.
"Ban..." Ginji looked at Ban. Kazuki nodded and ran to help Himiko. The men cocked their guns. Ginji held Ban turning slightly so Ban was behind him now. "Stay behind me Ban..." Ginji said with determination. Just as they were about to shoot, they dropped their guns as Kazuki, Himiko, and Shido got the door open. Ginji blinked but then started to stumble back as Ban weighed him down. "Ban!" Ginji knelt down as Ban's eyes slid closed as blood flowed from them. "Himiko, something is wrong with Ban!" He panicked as Ban's breathing slowed down.
"My god...we have to get him to Mirage...she's a doctor." Himiko said. Ginji panicked more as Himiko said that.
"Shido, help Ginji carry Ban. Himiko and I will be guards." Kazuki said. Shido nodded and quickly got Ban with Ginji and ran out. Kazuki looked at the men. The Jagan eye...He thought as Himiko and himself left. Have you used it more than three times Ban?

Ginji paced around in Mirage's living room. Himiko and Hevn helped patch them up as Mirage worked on Ban. She had them rush Ban into her clinic in her home. That was three hours ago. Ginji was worried, they should have been out by now. Himiko served tea to Kazuki and Shido. Hevn had left but asked they call when they got news.
"Ginji he'll be fine..." Himiko said to him. Ginji turned to her and turned into Tare Ginji (His SD form). He had tears in his eyes as he grabbed Himiko's arm.
"But Himiko! What happened to him to faint like that?" He asked. The dark haired female looked down at her tea sadly not wanting to answer Ginji.
"I believe it was the Jagan." Kazuki said. Ginji turned back normal and frowned.
"What do you mean? He only used it twice," He said. Kazuki looked at Himiko.
"No Ginji...He used it four times. Two times before he went to the Honky Tonk, then two during the battle." She explained sadly. "Ban told me...that if anything should happen to Ginji to hand over the statues to Thiras."
"Who exactly was that Bastard anyway? He had eyes like Midou..." Shido said looking at Himiko.
"He is Ban's brother..." Himiko whispered. Ginji froze.
"Ban's brother...?" He repeated to himself. The door behind him opened to reveal a tired and sweaty Mirage. Ginji stood up and looked at her. She smiled as she wiped her hands off on the towel.
"The bullet wound on his side had to be stitched up because he ripped it open wider. He had no signs of a concussion or any head trauma." Mirage sighed and rubbed her eyes. "His arm was shot, I took the bullet out but he's arm has to be in a sling for his muscles to heal properly. The fall from the balcony didn't seem to effect his legs in anyway from what I can see."
"Is he going to heal?" Kazuki asked. Mirage nodded but frowned.
"What, what's wrong?" Ginji asked as he grabbed Mirage's shoulders. "Ban's going to be okay right?"
"Yes, but...from using the Jagan more that three times it rendered his retina obsolete." She said sadly.
"What..."
"It means, he's blind Ginji..." Kazuki explained.
