(Akira)
I replied, "Not exactly, but close. Sora's a pretty good spear fighter. Her expertise in the spear is unmatched. Daisuke's an excellent swordsman, but mention their two obsessions... And they turn into completely different people."

I nodded and looked at Shinichi. "And you Shinichi-senpai? What are you an expert at?" I asked curiously.

(Shinichi)
I replied, "Like Akira, I too wield the glaive. Though I'll admit I'm pretty much a traditional glaive fighter. Akira is a conservative glaive fighter. He combines his focus as both a viloinist and as a martial artist, and he combines his skills from his martial arts and dancing and incorporates them into his glaive skills. Akira's strength in the glaive is his unpredictablity, which may give him an edge against quite a lot of other glaive fighters."
(Akira)
I replied, "Shinichi is the master of the ancient ways of the glaive school of Nami Ryu, Wave Style glaive combat. Like my true skill of the glaive, it's more defensive than offensive. Unlike my school of glaive combat, Nami Ryu is totally traditional."

I nodded in understanding. I looked from Akira to Shinichi then back to Akira. Traditional and conservative. I briefly wondered what style mine would be considered. I pushed the thought aside and looked at the two. "Well, you've met Michiru-mama and Setsuna-mama, maybe, hopefully, you'll get to meet Haruka-papa." I said.

I asked, "Well, you were conscious while we were trapped inside the youma, Akira. And you've seen Saturn fight... So what do you think her fighting style is?"
(Akira)
I replied, "I'd put her fighting style at traditional. She seems to follow tradition more, while my fighting style tends to break tradition."
(Shinichi)
I asked, "Out of curiousity, what is your glaive style, Kira?"

As Shinichi asked Akira about his particular style I found myself wanting to know. "Yes, what exactly is your style?" I asked repeating Shinichi.

(Akira)
I said, "It's not really a style that I know, per se, but my body and soul seems to instinctively know this style of glaive combat while my mind doesn't. It's Sagitta Ryu, or Archer Style."
(Shinichi)
My jaw dropped to the floor. I thought, 'Kira-kun's true style of glaive combat is the legendary Sagitta Ryu? It's almost impossible to know that style.'

I said nothing but turned quickly as I heard something hit the floor. Setsuna-mama, it appeared had dropped some files she had holding scattering papers everywhere. That's strange, I hadn't even heard her come in and usually I noticed when anyone entered any room dispite the noise or not. "Setsuna-mama? Are you all right?" I asked crouching down and helping to pick up the papers.
(Setsuna)
I had only caught a bit of the converstation, but for that child to know Sagitta Ryu wasn't possible. That mere idea that he did startled me into dropping my papers. "Yes, I am fine Hotaru-chan." I said as I also started to pick up the files. I had to quickly gather them before any of the information caught the young men's attention.

(Shinichi)
I regained my composure but I was still shocked. I looked down and silently said, "Sagitta Ryu. An ancient style of glaive combat that pits one against many, and takes advantage of all the speeds necessary for battle. How could Kira-kun instinctively know this style?"

(Hotaru)
I glanced at Shinichi. Funny, I could have sworn that he said something. I shook my head and handed Setsuna the last of the papers. "Here you are Setsuna-mama." I said with a bright smile. I watched her excuse herself and then she hurried into the room where Michiru-mama was. Although no one could really tell that she was hurring considering her walk was graceful and composed but to me, it was rushed and a bit frantic.

(Akira)
That's when I felt it. It wasn't the same darkness that I felt on the stairs of Strata Academy, but it was a form of darkness, coming this way.
I shouted, "Shinichi!"
(Shinichi)
I nodded, "I feel it too. It's not the same, but it's still a form of dark energy. But there seems to be only one."
(Akira)
I said, "Hotaru, Setsuna, Michiru, don't go outside. I sense the presence of a seriously unwanted house guest outside."

I stood there a moment before nodding. Trouble? Knowing Michiru and Setsuna they would transform to battle it. "Let me go tell Michiru-mama and Setsuna-mama." I said. I left the room then shortly after. I wondered if I would be able to help. "They agreed to say inside but they wish to know why."

I smiled at Hotaru, "I just don't my new friend to lose the people she cares about. I promised I'd protect you, and that also means I'll help protect the people the person cares about as well."
That's when I winked, "If I get in trouble, I'll call Sagitta."
(Shinichi)
I said, "I'll protect them too, Aki..." Just then, I got a huge headache. I started seeing myself in... Another time, wearing royal clothing, and a figure that looked like Akira. I thought, 'What's happening to me?'

I smiled and felt a little flattered that he cared enough about me to want to protect my family, even if he had only met me. I turned to Shinichi as he started to speak. "Shinichi-senpai? Are you all right?" I asked.
(Sora)
I dropped the glass I had been holding, bearly registering the noise of it shattering as a massive headache hit me from out of nowhere. I grabbed the side of my head and rested my free hand on the table. "W-what's happening?" I asked myself. I started to see things, strange things, strange but they seemed familiar almost. 'Who is that?' I wondered as I saw someone who looked scarily similar to Akira.

(Shinichi)
I stammered, "I... Just have a headache... I'll be fine..."
(Somewhere, a swordsman in training is also experiencing the same thing.)
(Akira)
I said, "I'll be fine. Don't worry. I'll deal with the darkness."
(Shinichi)
I stammered, "You'd... Better not die, Kira."'
(Akira)
I said, "I won't." I stepped outside, and closed the door. And I saw a person with a dark aura. I snarled, "You're a youma, aren't you? Show your true form, you pondscum."
The man transformed into a similr youma that Saturn had defeated. He sneered, "You're no ordinary brat either."
