Snippet #8980

Shirogane snarled. If there was one person in the world he would most like to fight, it would be Akikaze. For some odd reason, the two had never quite gotten along. Shirogane trained for countless hours just so he could beat her- which was no easy task. As he had found out more than once over the years at Shifting Shadows, this girl was tough.

And now, here she was, just asking for a fight. Her single question was enough to get the boy ticked off. He wasn't sure what Nao thought of her, not that it mattered much to him, but it became somewhat evident she didn't think very highly of Akikaze either. Of course, that could just be Nao taking out her annoyance on her... He watched silently as Nao walked away, her nose in the air. Why girls would make such a stupid gesture remained a mystery to him.

A glint of light reflected off the tanto caught Shirogane's eye and reminded him of the weapon at his neck. "What do you want, Akikaze?" he growled. "A fight?"
