Hope you like, here's chapter 3. Nothing really to say, I'll update my Shaman King like tomorrow or next weekend...
It was time again for Sai to give the Emperor another lesson.
A while into the lesson, another older man cam in, escorted by 2 guards. Sakura had a confused look on her face as the man sat by the Go board.
Sai and the man had a short conversation before Sai continued the lesson.

"Another good lesson," the Emperor said as he bowed towards Sai. Sai bowed back and the both stood up. The elder man stood up also.
The next thing on the Emperor's list was to go watch a dance that Sakura was in.
Sakura asked the general to be excused for a while. His disagreed with her for a while until he finally let her go. She ran towards the room the other girls were in.
One of the girls helped her changed; she was late.
The girl finished her hair and Sakura slipped on her mask. The rest did the same and took their ribbons and made their way to the grand hall.
The drums and flutes were coming in at the same time. They all bowed before the Emperor; he bowed back.
They took their positions as the musics got ready. The drums beat 4 times before Sakura and the other four dancers started. The flutes chimed in.
The Emperor looked pleased watching the dance and hearing the music.
A minute or two into the dance, everyone dancing and making music seemed tired, but it slowed down signaling the end.
The dance looked like a ballet performance with ribbons; it was very graceful and beautiful.
Sakura ended in the middle with one foot spaced in front of the other and her fingers touching her front foot.
Everyone clapped and the Emperor gave his compliments.
Sai had watched one dancer in particular; the one in the middle seemed just a little more graceful than the others.
He got up and followed them to give his compliments.
The 5 girls went into a room and changed back. When one came to, Sai asked who ended in the middle.
"Oh, that was Mitsu Sakura," she said with a smile. "Arigato," he smiled back.
He decided to ask Sakura later because she had to get back to her position.He went back as well.
Sai and Sakura crossed paths every now and then.

Sakura went outside to teach sword techniques to the soldiers. She had them do motions and stretches before moving on to any harder stuff.
"Everyone, break up into pairs and work on defensive techniques," Sakura ordered. "Hai." They did as they were told.
Sakura went around to the groups to make sure they were doing everything properly. "Mitsu-sensei," one of the soldiers called.
She walked over to the voice. A soldier asked if he was doing his form right. It was pretty well, but she adjusted a few things. "Arigato."
"Mitsu!" the general yelled. "Hai," she replied as she ran over to him. "You're time is done," he said as he gazed at her. "Hai," she replied to him, "Everyone, your lesson is done for today. Please put your swords back." They did as they were told.
They were led off to another site as Sakura was ordered to stay with the Emperor.
Well, there's what I do in my spare time when I have other school-related things to be doing...
