Sachiko narrowed her eyes and fixated her concentration on Yoh. To her, Yoh seemed like an easy opponent since he was sleeping most of time. She snickered slightly as she pulled out two M-1911 pistols that were in a bag that had been slung across her back.

"So you're Yoh Asakura? You don't seem like much of a challenge. I bet your ghost isn't all that powerful either. By the way, where is your spirit partner, huh? I don't see any ghosts around."

Yoh chuckled and looked at Sachiko with a calm expression played on his face. He stepped forward a bit, and pulled a memorial tablet out of his pocket.

"Relax and be patient. I'll introduce Amidamaru to you soon enough. But first, show me your ghost."

Sachiko smirked and suddenly the spirit of a middle-aged man with dark brown eyes, and waist-length dirty blonde hair appeared behind Sachiko. His hair was tied back into a ponytail, and his eyes were behind a pair of sunglasses. He was wearing a pair of black baggy cargo jeans, a black muscle tank top, and a pair of black boots. On his one shoulder was a tattoo of a dragon. He held an M-1911 pistol in each of his hands.

Sachiko crossed her arms over her chest and looked over at Yoh. She didn't think that his ghost could possibly be as cool as hers. Still Yoh kept a calm expression on his face. He didn't seem too shocked by Sachiko's ghost.

"So what's his name? He does have a name, right?"

"Of course he has a name. His name is Zach. Zachary Brown. He's an assassin if you didn't know. He's a pretty damn good one at that too. He's a really good spirit partner to have around. So, where's this Amidamaru you speak of?"

Yoh grinned broadly and looked over towards Sachiko. He then took out his own memorial tablet and summoned Amidamaru, who appeared behind him. Sachiko's eyes widened as she gazed at how powerful Amidamaru looked. But just so Yoh wouldn't know that she was absolutely stunned, she just smirked.

"Your spirit partner is pretty cool...but, he still doesn't look as powerful as Zach is."

Yoh narrowed his eyes, as he could tell that Sachiko was lying about Amidamaru. He unsheathed the sword that he had and gripped it tightly in his hand.

"I'll have you know that Amidamaru is one of the best spirit partners that there is. We will beat you."

Sachiko let out a laugh and glanced over at Yoh.

"I'd like to see you try to even touch me."

Meanwhile, Manta stood off to the side watching the two showing off. He didn't want to get involved because he was friends with both of them. He just wanted both of them to come out alive.
