"Tango? What?" said Ally.

"She doesn't know? It's about her after all. The little missy should know," grinned Max. "We're gonna have a swordfight. He's going down. It will start at noon. Have a partner." Max left.

"Hear that Josh. Have a partner."

"Me? This is going to be fun! Should I just Kessia, KessiaUG, Kessiain, or my new one, KessiaCrystal. Totally awesome new sword. Have you heard of Sword Keys? They're awesome. They can change your sword to take on your opponents weakness. Your dad has one for you. I forgot to pick it up before we left. What sword are you going to use?" asked Josh.

"Kaidarkra, Kyolightera. Got to phone dad, ask him to use his sword."

"Pardon? You are speaking a completely different language!" said Lana.

"And you're fighting with the champion swordsman! You guys must be mad!" said Riley.

Ally hugged Kyo. "Promise you'll come back not hurt okay?" she buried her face into his chest.

Practice Arena

"Team Champion Max and Mike versus Team Flaming Wolf Kyo and Josh. Please get ready to take out your swords."

"Summoning KessiabladeUG!" KessiabladeUG appeared. "Dress spirit Kessiablade style." Josh was wearing his black M.A.D.E. shirt and black cargo pants.

"What is that?" asked Mike.

"Probably something to phyche us!" said Max.

"Summoning Kyolightera!" Kyolightera appeared in his hand. "Dress Spirit Kyolightera style!" Kyo changed to black cargo pants, and a red tank top with a black phoenix on the back. He wore black finger-less gloves, and his sword was in a red case on his back.

"He's got his fathers spunk, but is he as good as him," said a mysterious voice.

"Kyo and Max will start. The rules are keep the battle clean. No stabbing, killing or slashing. To tag your partner, touch and part of his body. Keep it PG-13. Now, in position."

Kyo stood infront of Max.

"Those looks don't scare me," said Max.

"Good. I didn't want them to."

"Fight!" Max started throwing attacks at Kyo.

"You're so arrogent." Kyo looked at his watch. "Tired yet?"

Max made one powerful attack, and Kyo stopped it between his fingers. "What are you? Superhuman?"

"No, you aren't that great."

"Death match!" called out Max.

Josh and Mike stepped into the playing field.

"Fight!"

Mike charged for Josh. Max did the same to Kyo. "Kyo! All out!" Kyo and Josh were both boxed into a corner. "This is done," said Max.

"Think so?" Kyo jumped and flipped over them both. He held Josh's sword, as well as his own.

"What? How did he?!" Mike and Max were biwildered. The two swords were pointed to the back of their heads. It was over.

"Winners are Team Flaming Wolf." Everyone was speechless.

Kyo and Josh returned to their normal clothing. "That's the last time I use that must power for amutures," said Josh.

"I'm going back to sleep. See you later." Josh followed Kyo back into their room. As Kyo walked in, Ally came running up to him and huggec him tightly. Then she said firmly, "DON'T YOU EVER DO THIS TO ME AGAIN!" She let go of him. Curling up into a ball again, he slept peacefully.

"Why does he alway do that? Hey where did Josh go?" asked Lana.

"They must be pretty tired. They're both sleeping," said Riley.

After supper, they all went to sleep early, except for Kyo. Midnight struck and Kyo was still feeling the cold air of the night on the balcony. He was sitting on the rail, his feet swinging in the free air. Everything was silent. Maybe a few cars every now and then, or some snoring, but that didn't matter. His cellphone rang.

"Hm?"

"I thought you would have been awake."

"Hey Dad," said Kyo smiling. His voice was calm, with no clue of sleepyness. This was the longest time he had ever been away from his dad. It was kind of weird. Ally openned the door unoticed. "Yea. I'm fine. How did you know I'd be awake? Intuition my foot. It was sort of odvious I'd be awake. I start tomorrow, well.. today.. yea.. this morning. Huh? Ally?" Ally's heart jumped. "Yea. I know. The resemblence is remarkable." He looked into the starry night. "Of course not! I like her because, she's a sweet girl. Shut up. Pardon? Matt and Kali? Mrs. Granger's going to kill her! Hey, how do you know that anyways? YOU READ MY MAIL!! Don't I have a nice father!" Ally had to resist laughing. Finally, he tapped him on his shoulder. He jumped, and turned his head. "How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough to hear you say I was sweet." She kissed him on his cheek.

"Dad, I'm getting tired. Talk to you tomorrow." They both hung up.

"Do you miss him?" asked Ally.

"Miss who?" asked Kyo.

"Your dad. He seems really nice."

"He cares about what I'm doing. He's always there to listen. After my mom died, Trinity said that he tried to keep in touch often. He wasn't very talkative, and still isn't, but he knows when somethings wrong. Kind of like Chris. I can say hi, and put on a happy face, and he can see right through it."

"Chris? How long have you been friends?" asked Ally.

"A long time. I think I met him when I was one month. It's like we were destined to be friends."

"One month. You couldn't do much then. How do you know it's one month?" asked Ally.

"My dad told me. Chris' parent are Kylee and Thomas Hybird."

"You mean those two explorers who travel around studying cultures."

"That's them. They're company does a special program for schools. Chris' school always getting the freebie."

"Friends in high places. Well more like parents in high places." It was silent for a while. Ally broke the silence. "I heard you say I looked like someone."

"I see. You want to know who you look like right?" Ally nodded. "You look like two people. First is my godmother, and the second.." Kyo paused.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"No, I'll tell you." He took out his wallet and took out a photo, and handed it to her. There was a young woman with long blonde hair and clear blue eyes.

"Who is she? She's so beautiful."

"That's my mom."

"Your mother?" Kyo nodded. They talked for a little longer then Ally went inside to sleep.

"You were out here all night?" Ally came through the door dressed in her gray kilt and white blouse. Kyo got up. "Yea. I was." He fixed her collar, and went inside to change.

Ally knew that Kyo hadn't slept all week. She was relieved when on Friday night. He went to bed early. It was then she made a call.

"Hello? Mr. Hiwatari?"

"Hi Ally."

"How did you know it was me?"

"Instinct. What's the matter?"

"Well.. I was wondering.. what was up with the no sleeping for a week thing." She could here a faint laugh.

"It's a normal thing."

"Normal? Not going to sleep for a week is normal!"

"For Kyo it is. He goes to bed when he's tired. Spends the time stargazing. Most of the time I make him do his homework though."

"Well, I thought I'd get that out fo my system."

"No problem. Call anytime."

"Bye." She hung up. "I still don't see how that's normal."

Monday after school

"Miss home? Dad's calling us back home," said Trinity.

"Did he call us or me?" asked Kyo, looking up from his notebook.

"You. It was really weird. He asked if you could get a ride home."

"When?"

"Friday night."

"It's only monday."

"I'm quite aware of that."

"So I have to deal with four more days? Oh this is going to be fun." Kyo rolled onto the bed.

"What also was weird, was that he asked if Ally was free this weekend."

"I'm free. I need to get out of this place. My parents don't want me to come back home."

"Alright then, do you want your own room? Or do you want to share a bed with my baby brother?" She could see that bright blush appear on Ally's face.

"Trinity! You're so mean!!" said Kyo.

"Anyways, I've got to go. See you Friday."

"Hey Kyo. I forgot to tell you something." said Ally, walking beside him in the hallway to class. "You're going to have to join a club."

"A club? What for? I really don't want to."

"It's school rule. By the first month, of admisson you must be in an after school activity or club. It's says on the bulliten board in the main hall on the third floor."

"And you memorized this why?" asked Kyo, entering the chemistry lab.

"For your sake, because if you don't you'll get kicked out of the school. Chris joined the chemistry club, and Josh joined the sword club. Maybe you should join the fighting club. Here's the brochure." Kyo flipped through it.

"Which one are you in?" asked Kyo, astonished by the amount of different clubs there were.

"Journalist. My mom coaches the Fighting Club. And I think you told me you took Martial Arts."

"Yea. That's right. Maybe I should. It could be fun, I guess."

"Come on, let's go sign you up!" She took Kyo's arm and ran through the crowd.

Classes ended quicker than I thought. It didn't drag on like it usually did. So, I made my way to the room. I quickly changed into the clothes I use to fight with Kyolightera. I headed to club 'hangout', as refered by Ally. There was Ally's mom. Ally looked a lot like her. She had long blonde hair, and crystal blue eyes. "Hello. You're Kyo, right?" She seemed very familiar to me. Like I've met her before. "We should see where you are in terms of fighting." They stepped into a sound proof room with no windows. The door camouflaged with the room. Making it hard to find unless you see the silver door knob. "Let us begin. Don't hold back, Kyosuke."
