Elliot smiled. "Good," she replied.

Shiki smiled.

"So, when were you guys intending to go?" Elliot asked.

Abby smiled."after you got here and had a bite to eat"

Elliot nodded and downed a piece of toast. "Well, I'm good." She said.

Abby blinked."are you sure?"

"Yes," Elliot replied. "Let's get going so you can win this."

Abby noddedhappily.'rigth!",she said heading out the door.

Shiki smiled as they walked.

"Abby seems a bit...off," Elliot said quietly to Shiki. "Is she worried about anythig?"

Shikilookedto her."just thematch i think....",he saidquitely.

Elliot nodded, not voicing her thoughts. I get the feeling that Abby's worried about more than just the match. She thought. And Xing looks a bit drawn...he's got something on his mind as well.

Shiki looked to her."i have to admit i cant wiat for the fight!"

Elliot smiled a bit. "Neither can I," she replied.

Shiki lughed a little."Espicially whenAbby kics the other guys but"

Elliot laughed and nodded. "So true, so true." She replied.

Abby smiled some then cameto a stop in a lrge field."hhm this is it..."

"Where's your opponent?" Xing asked, looking around and seeing no one.

Abby sighed."i have no ide-",she stopped hearing the sound of blades clanking together.Turning her head she spotted a boy walking towards her. He had stort black hair, with a neon green steak on the left side of the hair. He had pearceing green eyes. His weapons were all tupes of blades,includeing a homemade one that looked like a giant boomerang with blades on the edge."Ah your Abby Asakura i presume?",he said calmly.

Abby felt a chill go through her,but slowly nodded."that I am,you must be Zeki Akashumo"

Elliot stared. "Asakura...?" She asked. "Your last name isn't Serino; it's Asakura."

Admidamaru -who had fallowed- looked to Elliot."yes,you know this, you were in thehospital when i told everyone"

"Yeah, sorry 'bout that." Elliot replied. "Didn't get much sleep last night...."

Shiki looked at her."whys that?"

"I'm not sure," Elliot replied. "But something's been really bothering me lately, and I'm not sure what it is."

Shiki sighed"is everyone haveing trouble BUT me?"

"Looks like it." Xing replied with a cockeyed grin.
