Considering the hour Tasha skipped the sloppy joes and went straight to brownies. Which by using her powers managed to bake very quickly. After little Kazuki had eaten his fill she had picked him up and carried him off to her room. Passing by Mizuki and waving quietly on her way up. She'd have to arrange for a proper bed later, but for tonight the little guy could sleep with her. She wrapped him up in blankets and fell asleep hugging him.
---------------
Beaux stalked silently through the house. It seemed easier to make no noise these days than it did to make noise while walking. He slips up to his room and puts both his armor/shirt and his weapons away. He finds Kazuki and waits till he's sure the boy's asleep before draping a blanket over him and turning the tv off.

He walks over to the dark blade and examines it briefly, making sure not to touch it, he didn't want to risk making a noise and waking Kazuki. He glanced over at his, was the word friend right? it had been a long time since Beaux had considered someone a friend. There was Mizuki, of course, but she was a very special case. He stood pondering his relationship with the young vampire in the room with him for several minutes.

Upon closing his eyes Beaux felt the presences of everyone in the house. Kyo and Sakura in their room. Saya and Sayuri in their respective rooms. Tasha attempting to put little Kazuki asleep after stuffing him with food. And Mizuki, the only person seemingly out of place and who he most wished to see right now, was in the parlor.

Beaux made his way there, intentionally scraping the door against the floor softly to announce his entrance so as not to risk startling her by just appearing in the room. He'd freaked a few people out like that in the past, and considering the hour it seemed best not to risk startling her. Not that he thought she would, but people had a knack for yelping when they get startled by something in the middle of the night. "It's been an eventful day, hasn't it?" He whispered, leaning his bare back gently against the wall.

Mizuki's eyes had opened upon instinct at the sound of the door closing. Even before he had spoken, Mizuki had known exactally who it was in the room with her. "Indeed it has, Beaux," she answered in the same whispering tone, turning to face where she saw his silhouette against the wall. Though she had just seconds ago felt she needed some time alone, spending some time with Beaux sounded even better. That is, if he wasn't going to tell her he was going to go to bed with the others as well.

"Are you going to go and lay down like everyone else now?" Mizuki asked, still whispering,managing to keep the hope of him saying "no" out of her tone.

He smiled playfully to himself behind the veil of darkness. "I had considered it." He said yawning exaggeratedly before he moved quietly but swiftly from his position at the wall to mere inches from her. He looked down at her smiling broadly through the darkness. "But I could be persuaded not to, rather easily." He glided over to the arm of the couch. "Besides I don't think I'd sleep too well, just yet. Would you like to talk?" He asked, patting the cushion next to him.

Mizuki's pulse had sped up slightly when Beaux had moved so close before her, and again when he spoke to her. "I'd love to," she admitted with a larger smile. She turned and walked over to take a seat where he had indicated just seconds before, crossing her legs in front of her. Her dark dress blended with the shadows so perfectly that it was practically a part of it.

"So, did you have any specific topics in mind, or were you thinking of a more spur of the moment kind of conversation?" Mizuki asked, pulling her hair over her shoulder. She began twisting the strands around and around as she waited for his answer patiently, enjoying even the short moment they were spending in silence more than she would have had she had been alone. She was silently very glad that he had said he would stay. After all the events the day had brought, she didn't quite feel herself anymore, and spending time with Beaux would help ease a large majority of that stress.

Beaux spun around softly so that he was facing Mizuki and then he leaned forward, resting his sternum lightly on her head as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "There's something weighing on my mind rather heavily." He paused a moment, liking his lips before continuing. He didn't want to worry her, but he couldn't keep this to himself any longer and she was the only person he felt he could talk to. "While we were trapped in Kazuki's head today, there was a vampiress, Haruka, she seemed to be the one causing the problems and Kazuki's mental state. She's gone now, but" He hugs her a little more tightly. "I'm worried. There's no telling how much damage she caused while she was in there. I feel like there was something I could have done to protect him, but I don't know what. Dannern said that with my talents I have a power similar to what Kale, my father's mentor, had but I have no idea of what I can possibly do with it. I've come to terms with being whatever it is I am, but I just don't get how I'm supposed to use my abilities." Tears began slowly rolling down his face. "I've spent every waking moment of the past 37 years training, mastering energy so that I can protect something. I can create barriers strong enough to repel nuclear warheads and I can send out enough energy vaporize a continent, but I can't even protect those closest to me."

"Beaux..." Mizuki whispered softly, wrapping her arms around him as gently, yet reasurringly, as possile. Though she couldn't see his silent tears, she could hear them in his words.

"You can protect those around you, and you do so excellently all the time. You protected everyone from me when Adelheid took over me, did you not, and today, you helped us all again against the trap inside Kazuki's mind."

She began slowly running her fingertips in steady lines up and down his spine, hoping to comfort him some in the process. "As for Haruka, you did all you possibly could today, Beaux, and besides, Kazuki has the Kokuyoku inside of him, so anything that she ever thought of doing, he'll be able to fight it off and/or mend it for Kazuki. Mom's told me so many stories about Dad's experiences with the Kokuyoku to help me ease off my own sadness for not being able to help him anymore than I can, so trust me when I say this, okay, love?"

Kazuki: { rolls over and he stares at the ceiling but looks at his hand} hmmm I wonder if I can pull that move off I need a kattana so I guess that sword will do for some reason I rerember alot of moves from docter kale and I rerember when his wife bella was alive she used swords but also had control of ice I rerember watching some of her moves but it was a long time ago huh lets see * "now close your eyes and visual your self attacking the opponent and visual ice in place of the sword"* holy crap! I got it! { he grabs the black kattana and he runs down stairs to beaux and mizuki} hey sorry to interupt the moment but can I borrow beaux for one second okay beaux come and attack me with that gun of yours dont hold back k { he rerembers slightly who bella held her sword and he gets into a stance simiair} allright bring it! you see its weird I've been rerembering alot of my memories when I was real little into really good detail ever since we came back from the little incident today after this you 2 can get back to what ever you want

"Thank you love. I-" The rest of his sentence was cut off by Kazuki rushing down the stairs. With a couple quick sparks the trail of tears was evaporated from his face as he turned annoyed towards Kazuki. "Kazuki, I've already put Dannern away, and-" His mouth stopped moving when he saw the stance Kazuki had taken. Mother's... His face took on a look of absolute fury, and his voice dropped to just above a whisper with a tone as cold as the ice his mother had created. "Kazuki...drop that stance. And go back to bed." He had never felt any malice towards Kazuki before, nothing even close to this at least. He felt like he was about to explode. He had to tear his hands away from Mizuki and formed them into fists to keep from digging into her with them. He jumped from the couch over to the door. "Forget any memories of that you may have recalled."

He stalked out of the house into the cool night air, but it did little to calm the rage that had erupted within him. He sat at the base of the steps up to the house and looked down at his hands as he slowly pried them open. He could distinguish the pale glinting of fresh blood from where his nails had dug into his palms. Kazuki, does he realize what he's done? I doubt it. He gripped the top of the stone step he had sat down on, turning the stone to powder, and released a draconic roar. To all but someone with pure draconic blood, like Tasha, it would seem like he was screaming in silence, but to her...
-----------------------
Tasha woke with a start at a sound she had not heard in a very long time. It wasn't something any dog, werewolf, or vampire could hear. The term heard was hardly adequate to explain it. It was a bellow that reverberated with her draconic blood. Somewhere, close, a dragon was feeling an intense and painful emotion. But the only dragon nearby was Beaux. And the only thing she knew of that had ever caused him to act like was his mother's death, but that was years ago. What could be causing it now? Mizuki? Had something happened to her?

Tasha untangled herself from little Kazuki, doing her best not to disturb him and slipped out of the room. She rushed down the stairs to the den. She saw Kazuki standing there still, holding his katana at the ready. She barked at him. "What happened?"

Kazuki: { he walks to where beaux is and grabs his collar } r you series forget my memories thats just like saying forget who I am I'm not gonna trash memeories just because it makes you sad this is the only thing I really rerember well not anything else and your walk up to me and say to forget about it hate me if you want I dont I care its painful for me to she was technically my aunt probably not as paiunful as you but dont you dare tell me to forget about that who the hell do you think you are! id you want me to forget so badly then youll have to make me because it may be said but you should never forget about people if my mom dided sure I'd want to forget as well but it would make her said if I forgot all about her just like that the same applies to your mom! never forget her and rerember the times you spent with her because when it comes down to it your memories of those times will allways be with you { his eye turn black and his pupils are golden yellow and their slits { and he then lets go of beaux and he starts coughing and and his eyes turn back to normal and he falls to the ground and he coughs up blood} **** a rebound { he stands up} those who forget about others because they dont like it are the real cowards who cant face the truth and act like it wasent real.......look I'm sorry I made you rerember it was my fault.................... I'm sorry okay { he walks back inside and he leans on the wall} used my powers to much today looks like I'm done for tonight { he slides down the wall near the door and he looks up at tasha} the old man got pissed because I rerembered something about his mom and I was happy about it ...... idiot { he shuts his eyes and he just falls asleep instently}

Beaux appeared in the room before Kazuki with a flash and slapped him awake. "Don't pretend to know me, fool. It's not that I want to forget her, it sure as hell isn't that." He turned around and took several steps away from Kazuki taking a deep breath. "I just, don't just come out of the blue and ask me to fight that form, alright? It isn't yours, and you never received the training to use it. She died when you were three, she stopped practicing the sword 10 years before that, and the magic five years before that, so those were the kokuyoku's memories not yours. Don't go claiming them. If you want to we can have a go tomorrow. I'll be more than happy to do it then. I'll even help you polish your form if you like." He walked over to Mizuki. "Good night Mizuki." He bends down and kisses her cheek, whispering. "Sorry, I need to sleep now." He inclines his head to Tasha as he's walking past. "Tasha." His sleep would be restless for his mind tonight, but it would still mend his ribs.
---------------
Tasha looks from one person to another before tugging on her hair. "Ghah! You people!" She stamps her feet all the way back up to her room.

Mizuki slouched back into the couch as Beaux and Tasha left the room. Pulling her legs up, making sure that the skirt of her dress curled in around her legs in a proper manner, she layed her forehead on her knees and sighed softly. So it really will be some quality alone time, I suppose, she thought to herself while closing her eyes. Oh well. It's best that he's going to sleep as well. After today, he deserves it, as does everyone else. I didn't do much of anything, though, so perhaps it's best that I'm staying up for a little while alone.

After a few moments in silence, she slid off of the couch and stood, walking to the door leading outside. Opening it as silently as possibly, she slipped out into the serene calmness of the night.

The night air was brisk, but it felt nice against her as she walked down, coming to a stop at the tree she had climbed up earlier that same day. She ran her fingertips against the bark as she walked around it's roots, looking out at the lake not too far down the small dirt road. All the while, her thoughts were racing with not only her previous thoughts, but also what Beaux had just told her. It would be a long night, it seemed. Knowing she needed to return to the house and try to get a little sleep herself, Mizuki turned and slowly walked back, humming a gentle and near-silent melody to herself as she did so.

When she appeared back at the house, she slipped back inside just as quietly as she had left it, looking around for anyone who was awake. From what she could hear, everyone was at least upstairs. That was good. She found herself taking the steps two at a time until she was at the top and walking towards her bedroom. She was tempted to knock on Beaux's door and see if he was still awake, but she didn't want to risk waking him if he wasn't, so, deciding against it quickly, she turned and walked into her own room, practically falling onto her bed with a light 'thud.' Laying back, she sighed and pulled a pillow on her chest, which she then embraced to her body.

Please let tomorrow be better than today was...I know this whole tournament's about to start and all, but until then, I just hope that things can go as smoothly as possible.. She stood once more a few moments later and grabbed her sleep clothes before taking a long, drugout shower.

Afterwords, now changed into a pair of navy pajama pants and a white tank top, she layed back down and rolled onto her side, trying to fall asleep, but finding it just as hard as she had originally suspected it to be.

Kazuki: { he walks outside infront of the forest and the snow stands infront of a group of trees} it may not be mine and you say thse memories dont belong to me I dont see his memeories I've only seen them once I only saw a glimpse} { he holds his head and he puts massive stress on his body} I'll prove it al that I can pull it off and then I'll { he picks up his sword} rahhhhhhh!!!! { his eyes turn yellow he swings his sword multiple times and black flames fly out of the sword and then he swings one last time and ice rises from the snow strikeing a few of the trees and encircling him and he sees his reflextion} *breathing heavily and he takes his hand and he starts chanting} as this acursed fate is spent seek out and destroy those who oppose me feed to fill your hungry and show your true form FEED FILL YOUR FANGS WITH BLOOD! VAMPIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!! BITE!!!!!!!!!!! {he smashes the ice and the ice bursts into flames but it stays frozen} come on come o break through! { he coughs up blood he sees beauxs reflextion in the ice and then the kokuyoku} RAHH!!! SCREW!...........................YOU! { he breaks through it and the mark on his hand stops glowing and his har turns back to its regluar black color before the curse took effect and his eyes turn to their regular color and his arm snaps and it changes into a pitch black color and he falls to the ground} crap whoops aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AH AH AH AH AH AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! { he trys to stand up buy he cant move because of the pain} dammit stupid curse F*CKING Rebound!

kokuyoku: well your screwed because you just wasted all the power you had on ice because your eho got the better of you and such so it will be awhile before you can fight

Kazuki: shut up your not gonna tell me I can or cant fight I still have my human side to rely on { he stands up and he walks back to the house and he wraps up his arm and puts it in a sling and he finally walks back to his room} I'll become stronger but right now { he rollls over and he dozes off and he rerember bits and pieces from his early childhood} ice sword dragons kiba werewolf sam magic I dont { he falls innto a deep sleep} { his arm starts healing}

Kokuyoku: what the hell * this isnt normal he shouldnt be healing this quickly*

Kazuki's shouting in the night had woken Beaux from his sleep, mere minutes after it had finally overtaken him. He walked over to the window and jumped up to the roof, to observe Kazuki's outburst. What is he doing? Why does he feel like he has to be better than everyone? Is this because of the Kokuyoku's influence or that wench Haruka's or is Kazuki just like this? Why does he feel it's necessary to try and copy my parents? From what dad told me Kyo was stronger than him, even with his current powers. And mom...well she just had some magic in her blood. Magic...hm, I wonder. He starts to take a breath and then he remembers his still broken rib. Tomorrow maybe.

He started back towards his room, but stopped and dropped down into Kazuki's briefly instead. He examined the boy's arm, cutting away the bandages silently. Damaged, like dad was after using Despair's power. Not surprising since he was using black flames, similar to that time, but he's healing and rapidly too. Even for him. He swings back out into the light of the stars, but instead of heading back to his room he felt a pull coming from Mizuki's. Although, that could have just been his own desires manifesting in the back of his mind.

He slid silently into the room, immediately a sens of peace rolled over his mind. He knew he'd be able to sleep now as he turned to leave he thought he saw a bit of movement, but she was probably just sleeping restlessly he reasoned. It had been a rough day after all. He turned back and reached towards her through the blackness, but stopped himself for fear of risking waking her if she was indeed asleep and instead sat in a large comfy chair next to the bed and quickly dozed off, resting his head against the cushy back and his hands interlocked on his lap.

Kazuki: { he rolls over on his back and in his dreams he just rerembers his past} I rerember but barely that time where mizuki got that mark on her leg it was because I couldnt protect her from anything I was weak so I decided if she didnt want my help I'd take up fightning to release my frustration and soon after I took up the sword and swore I'd do anything and id become the strongest I cant let anyone stand in my way if I was diffrent then maybe maybe I could of changed how I lived my life but I have no choice with my dad losing his powers i have to protect everything important to me I'll become stronger and besides if I just run that means the kokuyoku will win I have to over take him somehow but I musnt lose my self in the process I have to become stronger without the kokuyokus help so I can make everything back to the way it was when we were a normal family just me getting introuble at school for fightning mizuki covering for me doctor kale frequently visiting and this time tasha and beaux can come back to I will win this thing { he rolls back over}

Waking from a dark and long past memory/dream, Mizuki turned over in her bed and noticed a scent not belonging to her within the room. It was definally recognizable, however, and she smiled to herself as she sat up, looking for where he was at. She spotted him seconds later sitting in the chair not too far from her bed, his breathing slow and sleady with slumber. Turning to look at her clock, she noticed that she hadn't been asleep too long, but what little she had been had been so blanketed with the memory-based dream that it felt like it had only been a matter of seconds, perhaps. I wonder how long he's been in here..

Though it wasn't cold in her room, it wasn't nessicarely hot either. With a quick thought, Mizuki was pulling one of the two blankets off of her bed and standing, stepping silently over towards Beaux's sleeping form. She carefully and gently drapped the blanket over his body, watching him a moment after she was done, her smile widening even more. He was absolutely perfect in every way imaginable. Goodnight, Beaux. She fought the urge to lean down and kiss him and tiptoed back to her bed and layed back down.

However, she didn't close her eyes back. Not yet. Her sleep had been too...rough, she supposed, and she didn't want to go back and risk seeing even further into that memory again. She reached down, absentmindedly touching her fingers against the side of her right leg's thigh, where a hidden, but still evident scar remained.

I was so terrible to him as a child...I truely do wish I could go back and change how I treated him, but I can't....All I can do now is try to make up for it and be here for him whenever possible, and hope that he puts all those past memories out of his mind.. Sighing under her breath, the sound of it not even heard by Mizuki herself, she glanced back to Beaux and pulled her hand away from the scar that she had touched through her pajama pants, laying it beside her on the bed again.

Kazuki: * mizuki hey mizuki wait up come on* { dreaming about hiw she got the scar}

Kazuki: hey mizuki mizuki what are we doing here

Mizuki: shut up and just listen would you { starts explainging all these really stupid reasons why their there}

Kazuki: uhhh those arent very good reasons why were in a abandoned factory

Mizuki: shut up and just go get that thing for me would you}

Kazuki: fine { he stands up and grabs some sort of weird relic like thing}

Mizuki: yes score

Kazuki: {turns around and some cloaked man takes a knife and stabs at mizuki}

Mizuki: { jumps out of the way because of reflex but her leg gets cut pretty bad and she falls to the ground}

KAzuki: { his face gets pissed and the man with the knife walks towards mizuki} grahhh { picks up a pipe and he runs at the man} get away from my sister! { wacks the man in the face and when the man falls to the ground kazuki keeps beating him with the pipe and then he stops and drops the pipe} hehhahahahaahahahahahahaha!!!! { he walks over to mizuki and he helps her up} are you okay ididiot this is why I told you we shouldnt do this sort of thing though I never expected some psycho to try to kill us

{ he stops dreaming}

Kazuki: that was the first day that I felt diffrent like inhumane I felt all this power flowing through me I couldnt be stopped { he falls back asleep}

*flashback/dream-53 years in the past*
"Hey mom, what are you wearing that for?" Bella turned and picked up the young Beaux. "I'm going to go practice with your aunt Samantha." "Cool! What's this called anyways?" "Anyway." "Right, so what is this white outfit? A dress?" "No, it's called a gi. People where it when they practice martial arts." "Oh, can I come watch?" Bella bites the inside of her lip, considering. She seems to look over Beaux for a moment and smiles before nodding her head.
*45 years in the past.*
"You're doing great Beaux. I think you might even be able to go up against me or your mom now." After finishing a series of slashes he turns to Sam and bows. "Thank you sensei, but I don't think fighting my mother would be a good idea." "Never know till ya try. Now come on. Let's go." "What?" "I said you might be able to go up against me, didn't I? Let's go." The rest of the students all looked at each other, then to Beaux, and then they all scurried back to the walls. Beaux didn't have time to refuse again. The next thing he knew the woman who had been teaching him a moment ago was flying at him, faster than he had ever seen. He got his sword up just in time to block the attack, but her sword smashed his to pieces and continued past into his shoulder. He had to spend the next three weeks with a broken shoulder blade.
*43 years in the past*
"Ok, Beaux, do you know what puts such a huge gap between us?" "A couple decades." "No, care to try again?" Bella said as she smacked him on the head with the flat of her blade. They were no longer using wooden training swords, but the edges of these had been dulled. Not that that prevented his bones from getting broken though he had noticed that he seemed to recover a little faster than most people. "I have no idea." She bent in close to his ear and whispered. "Magic." He looked at her quizzically for a moment. "What?" "I'll explain it to you in a few years." She gestured towards the spectators, one of which was Tasha who always managed to cheer him on, even when he was getting the crap beat out of him and everybody else only cringed, glad they weren't the ones being smashed up.
*40 years in the past*
Bella had taken Beaux out to a traditionally styled Japanese hot spring. At first he was confused and then she placed her hand on top of the broiling water. She took in and released a long breath the water stopped bubbling and steaming. "Mom, what did you just do?" "Like I said before, magic is what separates us at this point Beaux. You're as good, if not better than both your aunt and myself at each of our respective styles." "Can you teach me?" "Unfortunately, starting the use of magic isn't really something that can be taught. You kind of have to feel your way through it. And not everyone can use magic either, you have to have it in your blood, or receive...I guess gift would be the best way to put it." "Gift?" "It's kind of like an element housing itself in your body, allowing you to channel it and begin accessing your magic. I had hoped that you would have found the magic on your own over the past three years, but you haven't so I thought you might need an obvious demonstration to get you started." "So, do you have one of these gifts?" "Yes, but there's no way of transferring it, safely."
*12 years in the past*
Beaux, holding baby Kazuki, was sitting in the hall of the hospital with Sakura, holding baby Mizuki, while Kyo, Kiba, and Eugene, as he had started calling his father in an effort to annoy him, were in the room with the dying Bella. Dad didn't explain what was wrong with her. Yes she was getting old, but she had seemed healthier than most thirty year olds. He felt a cold chill and turned expectantly towards the door where Kiba walked out, head hung low, he patted Beaux on the shoulder and left. Later when he had asked Eugene he had just said that it was too much of a strain, but wouldn't go into further details.
*end*
Beaux awoke groggily from the dream and began looking around taking in his surroundings. Where? Oh yeah. I'm in Mizuki's room. He glances over at the bed and cracks a smile at the girl. He reaches up to his neck to work the crick out and notices the blanket that's been draped over him. Mizuki...did I wake her up last night? After hearing the satisfying pop he draped his blanket over Mizuki and kissed her softly on the forehead before exiting the room. He took a quick shower and as he was reaching for his armor-shirt he stopped when his eyes caught sight of a white gi in the closet. He began changing into it, remembering his dream. As he tugged on the belt he noticed the red dragon insignia over his heart. Didn't my first gi have that too and doesn't, oh. Dad...I guess you were there more than I gave you credit for, and still are.

Kazuki: { wakes up and he sits in his bed for a few minutes and then he gets changed and he walks out of the room and down the stirs to the dining room and he sits there with his head on the table} so tired

saya: { walks up behind him with a letter} hey sleepy head another letter from the tournament comittee came

Kazuki: uhhh { he grabs the letter} dear kokuyoku and friends you are incline to make an appearance at the dinner party so that we can I dont care { he throws the letter away}

Saya: wow your lazy okay so after that it says the champion of the tournament was the one requesting your appearance at the party this invite was sent to all other participants later in the evening a carriage will come to pick you up and take you to the party and you must dress up in proper attire

Kazuki: I dont want to go though we get to meet our competition is a great opportunity to see if it will be worthwhile I guess I'll have to get dressed up if I want to see who we'll be up against

Saya: yeah in your room in the closet it should be nice enough for you to attend so thats all taken care of { she puts the letter on the table}

Kazuki: I'm gonna die saya can you make me some food please

Saya: fine { she walks into the kitchen and starts cooking} hey sayuri

Sayuri: { walks in from the other room} what is it m'lady

Saya: you dont have to be formal you know

Sayuri: sorry just a habit would you like help with that

Saya: sure why not

Kazuki: someone help me I'm dieing of hunger

Seth wakes up to an annoying churping noise "Animals are so uncaring." Seth rubs his eyes and stands u walking up a dirt road. "if i remember correctly the energy from yesterday came from this direction." Seth begins to walk up the dirt road i shouldnt be too far away... Seth yawns and quickens his pace "i hope i can take a shower soon..." Seth feels his hair, greasy and messy "ohhhh, i need a shower."

Beaux set Dannern, in gun form, on the windowsill and walked downstairs, sniffing the air as the smell of cooking hit his nostrils. He popped his head into the kitchen to see what was going on. Kazuki, looks like he's fully healed already. This is crazy. He begins rummaging through the cabinets. "Kazuki, when you've had breakfast come outside. We'll spar some. I'll even shoot you if that's what you want." He bites down on a bagel. 'Beaux, if you want a practice sword that might not break from a single swing, but wouldn't be a waste if it did break. Try making one out of the metal in the dirt.' Are you serious? 'Quite, I've watched people do it before.' Alright.

He holds his right out parallel to the ground. "Alright, just like bringing the weapon back to my hand." A blue lightning bolt streaked from his hand down into the ground. For a couple minutes nothing seemed to happen, but then particles began rising up and collecting in his palm. "Well, this is actually working." After a few minutes more the particles had coalesced into a sword shape. "And now let's try that." The blade took on a blue shine and then faded to a mottled black, but now it was an actual katana. He swung it around experimentally and then made a second. "Alright, Dann you had a good idea." He stuck it into the ground and did a quick warm up before performing katas, switching off between the single blade and two blade forms and even using a form that intermixed the two forms.
-------------------
Tasha let out a long yawn and then began tickling little Kazuki. "Come on sleepy head, wake up. It's time for breakfast!"
