=um, hey Kasei...=poked Maji. =what is it now?= growled Kasei =we don't have swords= whispered Maji =what?!= then realizing they never got their swords yet. =Lady Akari,can you give us swords?= asked Maji =I'm glad you noticed, i thought that you two were going to fight with your arms.= teased Lady Akari

Lady Akari then pulled out a necklace out of her robes, and did a silent prayer. Then from the ground, the floor began to light in a circle. On Kasei's circle show the yin sign, the black part. On Maji side showed the ying side, the white part. Then with Akari's final words, the dots in the middle of each circle shot up to from the floor to their waist, and formed the hilt of their swords, and soon the sword.

=thank you Lady Akari= screamed Maji. =much appreciated Lady Akari= proudfully kneeling.

+knock+knock =Are you ready?= yelled a soldier outside the door =Yeah, coming= Maji said gleefully. =good luck= Lady Akari yelled. =what?! you're not coming with us?= screeched Maji =no, i think i'll wait until the real contest starts.=replied Lady Akari.
