Kazuto closed the door to his home and put the package down on the ground. He took off his black jacket and ran his hair through his snow covered hair, making the snow fall onto the floor in small drops of water from the heat of home. He began to take off his black shoes when he heard the footsteps of a certain sister.

"Onii-chan did you get it!?" Suguha said in an excited voice as she bounced up and down in place.

"Nope, I just have a shinai sized boxed with me for fun."

"… This is why you have so few friends."

"Whatever, you want you package or not?"

"Yes!" Kazuto quickly passed the box to Suguha who quickly ran off to the living room to open her book. He sighed as he saw his kendo crazy sister get over excited and followed her.

"Next time, can you order this under your name?" he asked as she walked in the living room to see Suguha practically rip the box open with the scissors.

"I will but come over and look at it!" she said as she brought it out of its box. Kazuto walked over and saw how the shinai looked. He felt his blood go cold as his eyes saw it. This shinai was longer then her old one and was more reinforced at the nakayui (1).

"S-so why did you buy a new one?"

"Well because last week when we were having our having our mock battle…"

Kazuto and Suguha, dressed in their kendo bogu (2), stood away from each other with their shinai at hand, one of them shaking.

'I know I wanted to bond but I should've chosen something less dangerous!' Kazuto thought as he tried to steady his grip on the bamboo sword to get his shaking hand to stop moving. They have had these mock battles on Kazuto's suggestion since he had hoped that it would be a good way to bond, ultimately forgetting how his sister could kill him with just a slash.

"Are you ready Onii-chan?" Suguha asked as she raised her shinai in her usual pose.

"Y-yeah." He answered as he raised his own shinai.

'I'm ready to die…'he thought as he and Suguha began to move around in the dojo. They began to circle each other and slowly, Suguha got closer without Kazuto noticing since he was so preoccupied in the movements of her shinai rather than Suguha herself.

Finally Suguha sent the first swing. Kazuto quickly blocked it and moved back slightly, getting out of the range of the wooden sword but that didn't stop Suguha. She quickly came and began sending strike after strike in an attempt to gain a hit on Kazuto, but all of them were dodged by reflex on Kazuto's part.

'God is she trying to kill me!?' Kazuto thought as evaded the attacks. By memory, his body quickly moved in a defensive stance and blocked another strike that was thrown his way, aimed for his forearm.

"You're getting better!" Suguha said as she moved back to gain some distance from him.

"I-Is that so…" he said as he finally began to formulate a plan in his head to last longer in this battle than his usual 4 minutes. He shifted his defensive pose into an offense one, with his shinai raised upwards and his legs apart.

"You're going to attack?"

"I might as well before I lose!"

"What makes you think you're going to lose?"

"What makes you think I have a chance at winning?"

"Good point." Suguha said as she got into her own defensive stance in preparation of Kazuto's attack.

'Well at least it doesn't look like he's in danger of hurting himself.' Suguha thought as she saw Kazuto's pose since she could remember when Kazuto had hurt himself as a child learning the basics when they had both done kendo together.

'I guess it's now or never.' Kazuto thought as he shifted slightly to move in position, to have his strike hit where he planned. Well, that was if it even worked in the first place. He finally moved ahead to strike Suguha who was already ready for the incoming strike.

'If I can just get close enough…' he thought as he moved the shinai just slightly downward and began to move sideways as well. Finally, as he was a few feet from her, he moved his shinai to hit her side instead of her front. Moving his body sideways as well, his plan was to desperately get a hit on her by feigning to go one way and going the other; an old move but an effective one at that.

As Suguha moved to counter it before it hit her, Kazuto once again moved unexpectedly. He moved his shinai to purposely hit hers and make it move back from the momentum. Kazuto quickly moved back to Suguha's side, away from her shinai, and aimed to hit her side. But what he didn't couldn't on was that the momentum of his previous strike to be used as a counterattack. Suguha had kept on moving her shinai around and spun after Kazuto had hit her shinai away, to hit him or to counter his attack. What happened was something neither of them expecting.

Instead of hitting arm, chest, or shinai, she had smacked him right in the back of the head, automatically making him stiffen from the pain before falling to the floor from the hit.

"O-Onii-chan! Are you okay!?" Suguha asked panically as she bent down to ask her brother who was faced down on the floor.

"I give up… just let me stay here until I can feel my head… maybe I'll take a nap…" Kazuto said as he put his left hand on the spot that the shinai hit the protective gear as if to cover the pain that was spreading.

"I-I'll go get some ice! Then well ask Oka-san if we should take you to the doctor!"

"…nap time."

"Don't! What if you have a concussion!?"

"Okay, okay. Just help me get the head gear off." Suguha quickly took it off and moved Kazuto's hair out of the way and saw that a bump was indeed forming.

'I really need to learn how to hold back…' Suguha thought as she recalled the first time this happened when it was mid-January.

"I guess this is what happens when I go against a kendo finalist," Kazuto said before getting up, "I'm going to get ice for my head… and pain killers…" Suguha watched as her brother walked away and then looking at her shinai, seeing the area that hit Kazuto changed.

"That hit I gave you made some splinters happen on my old shinai and since I can't use it like that, that is where this new one comes in!" Suguha said as she raised the new shinai in her hands. Kazuto touched where the bump previously was, still stinging slightly at touch.

"This still hurts you know."

"Sorry, I forgot to hold back again."

"There needs to be protective gear that protects me from you."

"Don't exaggerate."

"It would be an exaggeration if I said that I need a full paramedic team on standby when fighting you."

"This is why you have so few friends."

"Whatever, the only good thing about you hitting people is that you got a boyfriend by doing that, right?"

"Uh… I uh… shut up."

"You're not denying it."

"Shut it."

"Do you call him Nagata or Shinichi?"

"Do you want me to test this thing on your head!?" Suguha said with a red face as she raised the shinai, making Kazuto quickly scramble behind the couch and hold the back of his head.

"H-hey my head just healed… y-you wouldn't want me to go to the hospital would you?"

"Let me think about that as I hit you!"

"Crap!" Kazuto said before he ran out of the room with Suguha chasing him.

(1) Nakayui- that is basically where the four slates of bamboo that is in the shinai are held together.

(2) Bogu- kendo armor/ protective gear.

A/N: Thought I'd save you some time from Googling it. And this is the end of day 1! I've wanted to do a kendo scene for… a long time ago actually but I never got around to writing it… or the opportunity to… hope you enjoyed reading this and till next week! SEASON 2! *goes running away screaming*
