"This... Is so...hard!" I was laying on the sand with my sword lying in the sand next to me. I have been practicing with it for the past half hour and already I could feel muscles in places I never knew I muscles. I looked to the side and watched sand filter through my fingers while Finn sat in a cracked open coconut. With the butt of my blade I could now smash the thick outer skin of the fruit and eat the inside. Finn seemed to like the husk after I was through with it.

I got back up slowly before hefting the sword over my shoulder and giving my practice dummy a glare. I had made a new model that somehow, without my realizing it had turned out to look a lot like Sesshomaru.

"I want to decapitate you." I yelled at the leaf man and not expecting a response. I leveled my blade at its throat. "Then you would say something like 'But princess, that sword is a little to much for you don't you think?' and the I would crush you and stomp all over your pride." I dropped my sword and it fell limply to my side.

"I'm going to lose my mind soon." I fell down next to Finn. "Maybe insanity in a nice place."

This chapter was written to They Might Be Giants song Istanbul...it's a strange song with an addicting beat.
