By the time I woke up my clothes were changed and I was dry. It was about midday and once more Ryoku was nowhere to be found. I stood and stretched. Walking over to the river, I remembered Ryoku saying, “Tomorrow we’ll practice with your weapon.” At the river I glanced around again for him before bending down to take a sip of water.
I heard something fly just over my head. It whipped through the air like a giant boomerang had just flown over head. I was so startled I plummeted into the river. I swam back to the bank and climbed out.
“What’s the big idea?” I panted. I was sure it was Ryoku.
“Now, now, Kiko” A voice sounded from behind the bushes that bordered the river area.
A pretty tall guy; black hair, red cloak, goofy grin, you know him, stepped out of the bushes.
“Control your temper.” He sat himself down, placing his head in his hands, with the same old goofy grin.
“And don’t throw things at me!” I muttered, planting myself in front of him.
“Now then,” Ryoku seemed to have forgotten about our argument already, “I said we’d be working on your weapon today.”
“And I said that I was too young to handle a weapon.” I challenged.
“Ah, but you also said that you couldn’t swim across the river.” He won.
“Okay, whatever.”
He stood up and dusted himself off. Pulling from behind him once again, a small sword. No, a tiny sword. But it certainly wasn’t a dagger. I stood up too, and he handed me the mini sword.
