"I believe her. I think she really wants our help and to help us." Kamio told Yuu.
"What? So, are you telling me not to fight her now?" Yuu asked him.
"No, you two can still fight, but I think you should let her come with us, win or lose," Kamio said.
"I'll have to think about it." She said, as she turned around and started towards the rooms once again.
Kamio walked through Festival Town's main street. 'She's so stubborn.' Kamio thought to himself.
He wasn't watching where he was going and bumped into a person, knocking both him and her down. "I-I-I'm sorry!" Kamio stammered.
"That's okay." A woman with white hair, kept in a braided low ponytail, told him.
The woman started to pick up the things she had dropped. "Here, let me help you!" Kamio told her and began picking things up.
"Ah, thank you." The woman said to him. Kamio looked at the woman.
'She looks familiar.' Kamio thought. Blue eyes looked back at him.
"Is something on my face?" She asked him, embarrassed.
"What?"
"You were staring at me." She explained.
"I-I'm sorry!" Kamio began. "It's just you look like someone I know." Kamio finished helping her pick up her stuff.
"Thank you for your help. "She told him.
"No problem. He-he."
She turned her back to him. "Well, goodbye for now." She said as she started walking away.
The woman stopped walking and turned back towards Kamio. "Hey, wait a minute! Didn't you say I look like someone you know?" She asked.
"Y-y-yeah, I did say that," Kamio answered.
"Tell me who they are, maybe I know them."
'Should I? She might be an enemy.' Kamio thought to himself.
Yuu sat on her chair in her waiting room. 'Damn, I don't know what to think.' Yuu thought.
Outside the arena, people were starting to fill in the surrounding bleachers. The announcer stood on top of the arena stage. "Are you sure?" He asked a person behind him.
The person wore a white cloak with orange stripes on the edges and a hood to hide his face.
"Yes, I have no doubt that Shadows Mask will make it to the final round. I will beat him and arrest him." The man said.
After a few minutes, preparations were complete. The announcer stood on top of the stage looking out into the crowd of people. "I would first like to thank each of you for coming to the annual Festival Town Tournament!" The announcer said, enthusiastically.
"I would like to remind everyone of the match-ups before we begin." The announcer began.
"The first match will be between our returning champion, Yuukimo, and an old face here, Statir! Match two will be between two new faces Yuu and Blindside..."
Match 1: Yuukimo vs. Statir
Match 2: Blindside vs. Yuu
Match 3: Nii vs. Travis
Match 4: Warden vs. Shadows Mask
Match 5: Harry vs. Pette
Match 6: I vs. Kit
Match 7: OPI vs. Jack
Match 8: Nin vs. White
The announcer went through each of the other match-ups and continued with the rest of the pre-tournament talk. "That is all I have to say; now Yuukimo, Statir please come on up here."
Two people walked up onto the stage. One, a man wearing a black skin-tight suit and had short black hair, the other, a woman, wearing a purple vest with a white short-sleeved undershirt and a brown pair of pants and had long brown hair kept in a ponytail. "Remember you two, keep this a clean fight." The announcer told them.
"Of course!" They replied in unison.
They stared each other in the eyes. "Ok then, let the tournament begin!"
