Preliminary Rounds

Yarashi's spell faded away, "damn it! the one time i needed it to work most!", he yelled.

"I think you stopped on purpose. Because you love me back."

Yarashi just got even more furious, "one of thease days ..." he said, reaching for his sword.

Tori pickpocketted hsi sword and taunted him. "No swords until your fight starts."

Gin felt if he get into this his head will rip off so he but out and went back to training

Yarashi had an idea "I'll ..." he gulped, "I'll kiss you if you give it back now".

"No way. You'll just try to kill me with it."

Yarashi sighed, "thats not the case at all, I can see how hard your trying for me, and I respect that, but my blade is the only way I feel at home, id do anything to get it back", he admited.

"mmm...hmm...i'll thimk about it"

Gin Saw the love that he and the sword have it was unmatch and said" Yarashi does love that sword that much."

Yarashi continued, "i'll even take ouy out on a date when this is over, just please givee it back", he was knealing now, "you have my word on it".

"Well...if it's that important, it can't hurt to give it back." Tori returned the sword

Yuna watched all this while waiting to fight Sakura.

Namide sighed and lay her head on Ryuji's shoulder. "Ryuji...I'm tired I hope you don't mind if I use you as a pillow."

"Belive me", Yarashi said, "the hero blade is the only thing I have that reminds me of my bonds", he paused for a moment, "you, who put me on the path to creating it, and Gin, who helped me get it in the first place".

Gin said to Yarashi" That right, yarashi is the dude who save me from not dieing from the dragon"

Ryuji sighed. "No, Go ahead. This is just seeming more like a bunch of children squabbling than the true test of strength and courage my grandfather told me about. Is there even still honor in this competition?"

Yuna looked at Ryuji. "I know what you mean." She then sighed. "At least if we ever face each other we'll give each other a good fight."

Namide started to purr while placing a hand on her stomach and then yawned. "Hmm...what a person does outside of combat doesn't show what they are like while in combat Ryuji."

"I suppose you're right Namide-san." He turned to Yuna. "And I look forward to it .Let's both aim to face each other then."

May walked over, her leg still hurt. "Namide, I didn't go far." Her face gave away that she got into trouble.

Sakura ran over to Ryuji. "Hey now, Yuna has to face me first, does that mean you expect me to lose?"

"You don't want me to answer that Sakura-chan. I'm still kinda freaked out by what you did to me while I was asleep, even if it did save my life. In fact, I'm thinking about getting a restraining order." Ryuji did not realize how awkward what he had said sounded.

Yuna looked at Sakura and smirked. "Yes I do expect you to lose but not because I'm cocky more that I just trust my strength. But if You win then best of luck to you in the rest of the tournament."

Namide looked at May and pulled her into the seat next to her again. "Tell me what happened."

"well then, I will just have to beat you and Ryuji, then I will show all of you!" Sakura let out a giggle and smiled innocently.

The announcer spoke.

"Okay everyone the preliminary rounds will start soon and I will be announcing the match ups."

She yawned again and started to fall asleep. "May...if and when Guilford comes back wake me ok?"
