One month ago: “Come Zack can’t you keep up?” – Hikaru smirked.
“You’re the one with his sword on the ground.” – I answered trying to compose my self.
“Lucky shot and you know it.”- Hikaru spoke as he got up from the ground reaching for his sword.
“You are such a sore loser.” – I smiled as I sheeted my sword grabbing a bottle of water. “Here you go.” – As I tossed my brother the bottle he got closed to me placing his sword on my neck.
“You left your guard down.” – He smiled as I looked at him laughing. “What are you laughing about?”- Hikaru asked.
“You’re the one that left his guard down look at your chest.”- Hikaru looked down and saw the tip of my short sword had pierced his clothes and drop of blood started to flow down his chest.
“Enough!! Practice is over.” – Master O’s vice rumbled in the arena. As I walked away Hikaru launched another attack Master O. grabbed his hand stopping him as I turned my head and his blade was an inch from my face. “I said practice was over.” – He roared.
“He was wide open it’s not my fault that he turned his back on the enemy.” – Hikaru jested.
“I’m not your enemy you fool.”- I said in a loud voice.
“Well sometimes I wonder.”- Hikaru replied.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”- I grabbed him by his collar.
“Enough!!”- We were separated by Master O. “The two of you are behaving like children I will not tolerate any more foolishness from any of you.”
“Whatever! I’m out of here.”- Hikaru started to leave.
“Hikaru”- Master spoke.
“What?”- Hikaru answered in an irritated tone.
“Cool your head for a while then come see me I have some issues to discuss with you.”
“I’ll think about it when the time comes.”- He continued to walk towards the door.
“You have no choice in the matter understand.” – Master finally said as Hikaru left.
