Revenge

You decide that you'll wait until Asahi has finished her training - it really *does* seem a shame to disturb her. Besides, you're curious about whether or not she can gain some mastery over the sword. Her weapons of choice are two daggers - she usually prefers *not* to use a sword.

Then again, the Battousai's weapon, that he used to kill Asahi's father, *was* a sword... So it's not *too* unlikely that she'll want to train with a sword. It just bothers you a little that Asahi has made no mention of this to you.

Can't trust anyone...

Asahi remains still for a moment, and then raises the sword, spinning round to slash through the air. However, she overshoots the strike, and stumbles, just about managing to avoid impaling herself on the blade.

You place a hand over your mouth to hide a smile, knowing exactly how Asahi will take *that*. By the time she turns enough to see you, your features have regained their calm, polite look.

Asahi looks down a moment, and then shrugs. "I suppose you must think that I'm rather foolish..." Her tone is calm, not revealling anything, but you know her well enough to realise that she's actually trying to suppress much deeper feelings.

What are you going to say?
