Chapter 25
The competition went on and Kitty soon saw how the room in the contender's box got more and more roomy. Soon, she, Hitomi and Ranessea watched Fuji beat a guy that apparently was the 5th squad's 6th seat.
Neliel smiled and looked up to the contender's box. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now in the semi finals; may I ask the final four to gather down here?"
Fuji stood ready already, panting a little bit from her last match. Kitty, Hitomi and Ranessea soon stood by her side.
"Ladies and gentlemen your final four. Petro Kitty, 9th seat from the 4th squad."
People cheered Kitty waving gently to the crowd.
"Jatsu Hitomi, 5th seat of the 10th squad."
Hitomi's applause was a bit louder than Kitty's, not that Kitty was surprised of this.
"Amazhagji Ranessea, 3rd seat of the 8th squad."
Ranessea smiled at the applause, her arms folded, pretty pleased with her situation.
"And last but not least, Fuji Kara 3rd seat of the 2nd squad."
Up in the taicho and fuku taicho box Komamura spoke up. "Well this is an interesting lineup for the final 4."
"Yes" Hisagi agreed. "This will be entertaining."
Neliel smiled where she stood. "OK ladies gather round."
The four ladies did, Kitty raising an eyebrow as Neliel took out a small round disk from her dress. "Now then this will decide how the next match will be like. One side is black, the other is white, and the side it lands on decides who you will fight. Petro san, you are up first."
Kitty walked up and Neliel threw the disk up in the air. It landed with the white side up.
"White it is" Neliel said, Kitty walking up to her right side. "Amazhagji san, you're next."
Ranessea walked up Neliel repeating the process. Kitty gulped. "Please be black please be black please be…"
"Black" Neliel said Kitty sighing in relief as Ranessea walked to Neliel's left side.
"Hitomi san," Neliel said smiling. "If this lands with the white side up you will fight Petro san, and Fuji san will fight Amazhagji san, if it lands on black you will fight Amazhagji san and Petro will fight Fuji san."
Hitomi nodded understanding and took a deep breath. Neliel threw the disk and Kitty swore that things went into slow motion as it came back down… landing with the white side up.
Kitty smiled gently. "I'm guessing you're regretting telling me to go to Shinigami academy now, or what Jatsu san?"
Hitomi smiled gently, "Nah, this will do perfectly. Best case scenario actually."
"Now then to select who will start" Neliel said smiling. "If this lands on white the first match is between Hitomi san and Petro san, if it lands on black its Fuji against Amazhagji."
Everyone nodded understanding. Neliel threw the disk again, and as it landed she smiled.
"Our first semi final match… Petro san against Hitomi san."
The audience cheered with excitement and up in the taicho and fuku taicho box Unohana and Hitsugaya, as well as Matsumoto and Soi Fon started making bets again.
The semi finals had started, and promised to be quite entertaining.
