D7:LA R3 Kakita Kazuko vs Akodo Kichiro

[Akodo Kichiro]

Kichiro once more steps into the ring. A crack of his neck and some controlled breathing to settle his nerves. Against the Kakita now within their own academy. We're in the big leagues paired off against the legendary dueling family themselves.

"We meet again Kakita-san. I had stopped by that noodle shop you mentioned. Most excellent thank you for the recommendation." There is a nervousness to his light hearted tone. Rather ramble and delay for a moment longer before the Kakita's signature talent is put on display. A light cough and harsh words to himself sets the mood internally as he begins his mental ritual to focus.

[Kakita Kazuko]

Kazuko stretches before entering the ring, letting out a deep sigh as if she wasn't satisfied with her prior duels. As it's not even the semi finals, she really isn't expecting much out of her third duel although the Lion may surprise her once again.

"Of course, it would be a shame to let such talent go unrecognized, no? How about we all go there again after the duels? I bet I can beat you at Go this time!"

The lion's spirit burns bright but it is ultimately is not enough.

[Kakita Kazuko]

Kazuko swings her blade, grazing Kichiro's arm before sheathing it in one fluid movement, barely able to avoid getting hit herself. Even though it was nearly a kharmic strike, she's grinning widely, almost regretting having to knock him out of the tournament when it's so early. It turns out the Lion had a couple more tricks up his sleeve, but no amount of tricks he can muster would be enough to beat raw talent combined with relentless drilling.

"That was very close, Kichiro-san! You have both surprised and impressed me."
