"Sugu, it's time." Kirito said Leafa

"Are you sure your up to the challenge? I got completely destroyed." Leafa questioned.

"Of course. I still can't believe that you lost the duel." Kirito answered

"Yeah, I know. I still can't believe it myself but Zekken is really strong, be careful." Leafa continued.

"Okay, well I'll see you in at 3pm." Said Kirito

"See you then." Leafa ended

3PM

Kirito descended to an island surrounded by a mote of water and had a tree at the center. An audience cleared an area for the duel between The Black Swordsman and Zekken. Leafa was among the crowds as well as Liz, Sinon and Slica.

Zekken jumped down from the center tree.

"Wait, you're a girl!" Kirito blurted out not knowing he was speaking aloud.

"You got a problem with that?" Zekken replied

"No-No of course not! It's just that nobody told—" Zekken interrupted Kirito. "Calm down, I'm just messing with you"

"Oh. Sorry."Kirito apologised

"Do you want to duel then?" Zekken asked

"Yes, of course." Kirito responded without a second thought.

"Okay then. Do you want to fight on the ground or in the air?" Zekken questioned.

"Either is good."Kirito responded

"Ground it is then. No flying, you can only jump. You can use any moves or skills, I will only be using my sword. Remember, if you win, you will get my 11-hit-combo sword skill." Zekken continued. "I'll send you a duel invite."

Kirito rushed towards Zekken pulling out a single black sword: The Dark Repulser. He blocks, in an attempt to study her fighting style. Kirito counter attacks aiming for her legs. He has figured out his technique. Zekken is clay in Kirito's hand.

Kirito pushed forwards with a block. He says something. For some reason Zekken pulls back, emerging with the cloud of smoke created by her landing. She laughs as if it was some funny joke. As soon as she stops, she rushed Kirito. The duel was over. Kirito had lost. Zekken won under two minutes.

"Congratulations. Good job." Kirito spoke as the he turned to Zekken with a failed attempt of hiding a grin.

Kirito turned away ascends into the air and began to make his way home. Leafa follows
