Sara walked with her new friend, Mari, trying to find Kaito. They found Kaito asleep under a sakura tree and woke him up. Kaito looked a bit pissed but didn't ell at them.

"What is it you two?" he asked, groggily.

"I think you're the only one who can help me. I want you to fight Raven," Mari spit out. Kaito jumped up.

"Raven? Are you crazy?" Kaito asked. You see Raven is Sakura's only daughter. She has raven black hair with black tips and red eyes. Since Raven is Sakura's daughter it wouldn't be wise to challenge.

"I know you want to master. You say it all the time. Now's your chance," Sara said, blowing. Kaito had to admit, he did want to fight her but he didn't want to get into trouble. The two girls looked at him with wide eyes and he sighed.

"Fine. I'll challenge her. What should I ask for as my prize?" he asked Sara and Mari. They both thought ad decided.

"I want to know my name," Mari said.

"And Suzu and I want to be able to see our mother," Sara added. They were pretty simple requests.

"Where is Raven?"

"She's this way. Come on!" Mari and Sara said. Both of them pulled him to a clearing where Raven was. When she heard them she turned, her red eyes piercing them. Kaito approached her and she stood up.

"What is it Young master Kaito?" she asked. Raven's voice was smooth like velvet.

Kaito looked at the girls then looked back at Raven, "I challenge you!"

Raven looked stunned but accepted, "Alright Kaito. What do you want if you win?"

"I want you to tell Mari her real name and allow Sara and Suzu to be able to see their mother."

"Alright Kaito. And If I win I want your sash since it's so special to you."

Without a second thought Kaito answered her, "Fine. You can fight in any form you wish; dragon or human. No magic or cheating or you lose. The loser is the other person that can no longer fight or they forfeit."

Raven nodded at the rules he had set and changed into her dragon form. She was a brown dragon with black fur and red eyes. Kaito also changed into his dragon form. He was a grayish-white dragon with black fur and gold eyes. Mari announced when the challenge began and Raven attacked Kaito first. Mari and Sara made sure to stay out of the way of the raging dragons. Kaito bit Raven's neck so in return she cut his face with her tail. They bit and scratched and hit each other with their tails. Soon they were both severely cut up and were breathing heavily. They faced each other, hoping the other would collapse until one of them did. Raven collapsed and her body turned back into her human form. Kaito changed back and fell to his knees once he was human again. Raven sat up a couple minutes later.

"Ok Kaito. You've won,' she turned to Mari and Sara, "You're real name is Sumariko now leave. And you and your sister are allowed to see your mother."

Raven collapsed again and Sumariko ran out of the barrier and back to her mother. Sara went and got Suzu and they went to see their mother. Kaito, however, was too injured to move. He stayed on his knees and watched Raven as she slept. Soon Raven's body had healed itself and she got up. Kaito was still seriously hurt. Raven took pity on him, something she rarely did, and walked over to him. She kissed his cheek and all of his wounds healed. She got up to leave but Kaito stopped her. He untied his blood red sash from around his waist and tied it around hers.

"It's a 'thank you' gift. I have another one back in my room so you can keep that one," he said. He smiled and walked away from Raven. Raven looked at the sash and, for once in her life, smiled. She then went back to her room and tried to get some rest.
