The tournament was still running. The dark tournament to be exact. Touya wasn't nervous. He knew he could win against anyone who was thrown at him. After all, he was an ice shinobi who finished all his training. Unlike the Blue Dragon Sieryu.

"...Hmm...Is there something on your mind, Touya?" Jin asked. Touya looked at him and shook his head.

"Why would there be?" Touya asked kind of glaring. Jin shrugged. "You just had this weird look on your face...Like you were disgusted." Touya shrugged and sat down moving his fingers over a railing in the hallway.

There was nothing wrong with him, he was just bored. He heard Jin sighed.

"You should lighten up...The tournament won't be hard." Touya looked up at him. "I know that...We'll win this tournament and be free." "We'll finally see the light then?" Jin asked, his eyes standing up and a huge grin on his face.

"That's right." Came another voice. They looked over and seen Risho. Their leader.

"Oh hey leader!" Jin tried to hug him, but was pushed away. "...Come Touya." Touya rose an eyebrow, but followed anyway. Risho took him out to watch a fight.

"Why are we here?" Touya asked. Risho pointed downward. "See him." Touya looked down to see a purple haired samurai in a white kimono. He was very skilled.

"Yes...What about him?" "We may need to becareful over him." "Why is that?" Risho closed his eyes.

"His sword." Touya looked at him. "His sword?" Risho nodded than pointed at the fight again.

"His sword is very powerful...Much more powerfull than your ice or my clay...Not even Gama's paint will work." Touya gasped a little than looked down at the samurai. The samurai won.

Than he heard Koto anouncing his name. "The winner is Shishiwakamaru!" Touya stared. He than seen Shishiwakamaru look up at him. His red eyes on his aqua. They had made contact. Of all the people in the stadium. Their eyes met.

"Let's go." Touya said walking away. He than couldn't get Shishiwakamaru's face out of his mind. Damn Risho for taking him out there. Now he had a samurai in his mind.

"Touya?" "What now?" "...Uh...You look a bit..." "Jin...Go away!" Touya stromed off. "Geez...Someone woke up on the wrong side of the wind." Jin sighed and sat down.

Touya went to his team's room and sat down. Jin was driving him insane today. And with Shishi looking at him. A skilled samurai looking at him...Like he wanted to kill him. That just made him more stressed.

He felt a hand on his shoulder, and he flinched. He looked up. It was Gama.

"You're stressed...Try to calm down." "...With Jin around?"

Gama thought for a second. "Good point." He said sitting down.

"So, tell me what is on your mind." "...Jin is a complete idiot that is making me nervous, and a very skilled samurai stared me in the eye like he wanted to kill me. I'm worried about losing and never seeing light, I'm worried about facing that Samurai, I'm worried about what Jin will do next..." Gama put a hand over his mouth.

"Okay...That's enough." Touya nodded than Gama removed his hand.

"Why is all this on your mind?" Touya shrugged and laid his head down. "I don't know...I don't know."
