"Hmm..." Kogeki did a thought face with paw in his chin and then tell her. "It is a tempt offer. One that I can accept. Great boons is always great and useful, so why not? Lead the way demon lady Pyra." 

He let Pyra guide them though the path, while Kogeki was silent for a few minutes in the way. He was in...deep thought until he decided to ask her something. "...Pyra. Mind if I ask you something? How much...do you remember? About your previous life?" Kogeki was talking about a life of be human, but he is trying to say such things in case there any Pokemon around. "Do you sometimes get the feeling if you...truly want to remember?"

Kogeki look to his own paw. "...I don't remember very much. Just few things to know who I am. And my battle skills...but...I don't know. When I look in the mirror, or to this...scarf, I feel I should remember something important. But...I also the feeling if I discovered, I might found something terrible."

Kogeki sigh. "You keep calling me a "phantom brave" or "ghost warrior" but I don't feel that way. Right now, I feel like a coward for...think in such things. And I think I owe you some apologise too. I made mistakes in my day as leader: Almost picking a fight with Team Artificer. Getting mad towards the Guildmaster daughter. My temper is something I will work with, and for that reason, I sorry."

"Fantastic and great!" Pyra clapped her hands in delight and did a little jig at her friend's agreement, and did as they requested. His question later on stopped the lil' fiendess in her tracks to turn and look at Kogeki, her expression surprised and then immediately thoughtful for but a moment, before she shakes her head.

"Nothing. Have no memory, null past recollections, inklings or suspicions of my life before I meet you and our dear friends. Nothing at all. *Shrugs* I do not care about that, though, no. Who am I now, my own purpose for existence, own adventures, growth, and goals, the duty-bonds for the ones I love.....that is all which matters to me. It is those that make me Pyra, Dark Demoness of the Infernal Flames, Sworn Guardian of Darkness Defiers and My Friends, after all, yes. "

She listens quietly as the spiritual ninja quietly vents his anxious doubts to her, her smile fading away with each word until she was expressionless. Then, when he was finished and after a moment's pause, Pyra reached forward to wrap him in a hug, closeing her eyes and rubbing his back in a hopefully comforting way.

"....Oh dear Kogeki, you silly noble fool. Need no your forgiven, I do not, for you have done nothing so grossly erronous-wrong to deserve such, no, and you have already taken steps to better-improve yourself. Do not dwell on the past, whom you were and might become from memories foggy-lost. Do not to judge yourself wanting and waning, without a good Future, when you are anything but. You are you, my Phantom Brave, He Who Strides With Dutiful Purpose Through Shade and Shadows. Focus on the now, and how to become more and complete in who you wish to become. For I see only greatness, boldness, and wisdom in you, now and in times yet to come."

Pyra opened her eyes and looked deeply into his own.

"Do you understand, my dear Kogeki?"
