~chapter 4~

"So when is this match happening?" Yuffie asked sitting down.

Sora sighed, "Next week."

Yuffie looked at him, "It's Thursday! On what day of next week?"

Sora laid back, "Tuesday..........Tuesday at noon. Could go well into the night since this is such a big match. Mor people are entering than I thought."

"How many?" Kairi asked.

"Probably over 100 then there's the teams." Sora replied.

"So it's 100 people then teams. Are you competing in both?" Yuffie asked.

"Well until the last 10 battles you allowed to fight in a team. Then down at the last 10 you go off and pick one member of the team to fight in the last 10, then fight the next day." Sora sighed.

"So I could enter with Squall and then pick him for the individual." Yuffie smiled.

"Not quite." Kairi said sitting down next to Yuffie. "You forget this is a death match. There's the possibility of your team losing. Then if you do win and you pick Squall to go then there's the possibility that he'll lose."

Yuffie sighed, "You always have to bring someone down don't you?"

Sora looked at Yuffie, "I heard there's gonna be a match before then where you just fight. Teams or individuals."

"No death?" Yuffie asked.

Sora shook his head, "Nope, no death."

Yuffie stood up with a smile, "I have to tell Squall!"

"I think that Leon might already know. He's probably been reading the paper all day." Kairi said standing up.

Yuffie smiled, "Oh well no shame in letting him know again."

"No need." A voice said behind them.

Yuffie and Kairi turned around and Leon was there.

"You don't think that I would participate in another match with you do you?" He asked.

"Uhh, I was thinking so." Yuffie said. "Come on Squall it'll be fun."

"If you want to keep going around with me then stop calling me Squall." Leon said.

Yuffie's smile went away, "Come on. What's the big deal with calling you Squall I mean it's your real name."

"Not any more." Leon sighed.

"And why not!" Yuffie yelled.

Kairi and Sora stared at them arguing with each other.

"Do you think if we left they would notice?" Kairi whispered.

"Probably not." Sora whispered back.

"YOUR GONNA PARTICAPATE!" Yuffie yelled.

Leon crossed his arms, "Why should I?"

Yuffie's face went blank and then she crossed her arms and began to walk away.

Kairi and Sora looked at them.

"What happened with you two?" Sora asked picking his keyblade up.

"She's always been like that. Selfish." Leon replied.

"You two have been fighting more often now." Kairi said.

Leon looked at Kairi and then crossed his arms, "We're not fighting she's just being herself and bringing up conflict with me." he sighed, "She's just being herself.....selfish."

"Well you can't blame her for something that she enjoys to do. I mean you like to fight, she likes to fight. You guys both make a great team I don't see why you don't want to fight in that tournament." Kairi said.

"Because I'm tired of it." Leon and said walking away.

Kairi looked at Sora.

"He's tired of fighting?" Sora said with a confused look on his face. "He loves to fight."
