"Would you like to go train?" Fate asked, getting up.
"Sure." Yoshioka said, getting up, and the two walked off, leaving Ixon and Tith behind.
They got out to a field, somewhere near the school. "So, how good are you at changing into a weapon?" He asked.
"I…I don't know…" She said, looking down at the ground. "Have you ever even CHANGED into a weapon before?" Fate asked her.
"Once…." She said, a bit nervous.
"Well this is going to be harder than I thought." He sighed. "Well, let's see you try."
Yoshioka transformed into a knife, just like that, and fell into Fate's hands, as Fate looked at the knife with wide eyes. "Wow… For only a second try, you're doing really good!" He stared at the knife. "Th-Thanks…" she blushed.
Fate smiled nicely. "You're welcome. Just don't get to stressed when we're fighting once we start getting missions... I'll handle it... The rules about weapons and Meisters are that weapons should be willing to give their lives up for their Meister... I think of it the other way around... If one of us were going to die, I would give my life up for you. I find you more important than me... Heck, I don't find myself important or useful in any way." He laughed.
Yoshioka smiled for once, as she had rarely smiled during the whole day. She giggled. Fate smiled. It had been the first time he had ever heard her laugh.
A boy peered in from the corner. He was a man with black hair that goes to his neck, with three white stripes going only going through half of his hair. His clothing was black, other than a grey skull somewhere near his neck. He had two little skull rings on his finger. His eyes were yellow.
The man moved from his spot, and left, with no explanation.
Tith ran over, screaming.

"Wait, what?" Fate tilted his head, looking at Tith.
"I dunno!" She said, gleefully, and skipped off.
Fate sighed. "I seriously don't know why she's so weird... Her dad is so serious and mean... And her mom is serious, not AS serious though..."
Yoshioka transformed back to her human form, and landed next to Fate. "Really...? My parents abandoned me when I was about 7. Or at least my dad did. You see this scar right?" She put her hand on her scar. "My dad was very abusive to me. He scratched me very badly, leaving these three scars. Then he abandoned me and my mom. Shortly after that, my mother died." She said, looking at Fate.
"If Tith's dad was abusive, she would be dead... He throws vending machines when he's angry..." Fate said, staring into the distance.
"Mhm…" Yoshioka looked down, her hand still on her scar.
"But… You still seemed to have a bad past… I feel sorry for you…"
