Kumo was walking down the water of Shoreline Beach when he first saw it. He was on his way home when he tripped. He looked behind himself and saw a gold shimmer in the sand. So he reached down and picked up what looked like a key lying in the sand. It had a weird shape to it, a sharp point and a curve on the end of it, so he kept it in his pocket and kept walking.

The next day, he woke to the sound of rocks hitting his window."Kumo!! Kumo!!" came sounds from outside

He quickly scrambled to his feet. "Kumo, come on!! The tournament's about to start"

Kumo looked out his window and saw Yumi standing down there. How could he forget! The annual "Tournament of the Beaches" was today! He grabbed his stuff and breakfast and ran out the door.

"So who are you rooting for?" Yumi asked.

"Mizu of course!" replied Kumo. "He's one of the best in all of town."

"Well he better be cause I heard that Iwa and his gang were competing this time."

"Them again? I mean I know that they are the toughest of the tough, but they win every year. Can't they just let someone else win just once?"

"Of course not," said Yumi. "They just want to show off."

"Well it's getting annoying and I hope Mizu can teach them a lesson."

When they got there, the place was packed. The tournament was being held down in town square.

"Come on," said Yumi. "They're about to announce the sceduale"
