"Now THAT'S a katana!"

Swords struck once more, the warriors holding them staring intently at each other's eyes.

"I'm glad you like my Gambol Shroud." said Blake Belladonna, narrowing her golden eyes. "While you were still stealing cookies from the tray I studied the blade. I am quite proficient with it."

"Hmmmm I think I'm a lil better at it than you." said Ruby Rose, her silver eyes shining in fierce glee. "Show me what you got Belladonna!"

The katanas clashed. The pair were ninjas from the ancient clans of the Rose-Xiao Longs and the Belladonnas. Blake's parents were preparing her to take the mantle of clan leader, while Ruby had already achieved fame as an honorable hero.

"How do you like my Crimson Moon?" Ruby said "It's not quite like my beautiful Crescent Rose, but I'm proud to have made it all by myself."

"It is indeed a stern weapon. I expected nothing less from a fine craftsman like yourself." Blake nodded in approval. "However-"

In an instant, Blake slashed at Ruby's right side, taking her sword away and kicking Ruby to the curb.

"-A blade held by a novice would naturally lose against a master."

Ruby puffed her cheeks. "No fair! Stupid rules, I'm so much better with a scythe…"

Blake laughed heartily at that. She threw Crimson Moon back to Ruby, placing Gambol Shroud back in her sheath.

"It's for the ceremony my love." Blake smoothed out her hair. "Our wedding is but a few scant days away and we need you ready for any challengers to the claim. Swords are the tradition."

"Yeah I know but it's not the same as my Crescent Rose~" Ruby whined a bit. "You sure Adam isn't gonna crash it?"

"He won't try. Yang and I saw to that." Blake patted her sword gently. "We will try this again later."

"Good," Ruby got up from the ground, dusting herself. "So I only have to worry about Ilia…"

"Ilia? Why do you say that?"

Ruby kinda shrugged. "She's been kind of distant lately. You know she had a crush on you for years right?"

"Ilia and I resolved that some time ago," Blake shook her head. "She won't try."

"I hope so." Ruby kissed her fiancé on the lips. "Wanna go another round?"

The sound of stomach growling interrupted them. Blake blushed.

"I would like some fish please."

"Good thing I packed some!"
