You didn't want to go?", I ask Ozeki.
He shook his head, "No, me not being there is my message to Ushio".
I nod my head in understanding.
Twelve more days remain of the tournament. Let's see if the boys can pull through on their promise
To defeat the Yokozuna
************************************
Lexi's POV
It's the fourth day of the tournament and the banners have been raised once again to indicate a full house in the Ryogoku Kokigikan stadium.
"Right Lexi-chan, you remember what my brother said?", Saki asks.
I sigh, "Yes, I am to sit my cute butt down for the entire tournament and not get carried away with anything".
Saki laughs, "Correct and I am your guard for today to make sure that you are following the rules".
'Why me? God why did it have to be an overprotective bear of a man?' I quietly ask the heavens as I am going to go crazy if I don't at least walk now and again.
I turn to look at the crowd as the wrestlers enter. Seems they were already excited for the so-called match of the day:
Onimaru vs The peacock of the sumo world: Daihannya Nagamitsu aka Hyoudou Masato 4th Seat of Eastern Maegashira.
"You're dumb Hyoudou", someone calls.
"Hey! Who just called me dumb? I'm not dumb", he shouts back and raises his fist towards the crowd.
I just sweat drop at the sight.
How that idiot made it this far, certainly passed my expectations. He even changed his name to the current one to remind everyone that he is also amongst the National Treasure generation. Though, to be honest it's good to see that he hasn't changed. Just like the good old days.
Then when I look over to Ushio, I can see him smiling up at the old Oodachi High lot. He looks more focused today and it would be thanks to those guys and I have no doubt that they worked all day yesterday on a strategy to defeat Hyoudou.
As they both enter the ring, Hyodou does he's signature salt wall. Basically, the idiot throws more salt than anyone else. He's not that good either, and most of the time, he drenches the audience in salt. Even poor Ushio looks a little dumbfounded by the display; but that's Hyoudou all over.
Well, let's see how this plays out.
No one's POV
Everyone knows that Hyoudou does a lot of side-stepping on the initial charge; so Onimaru was prepared; however, this is the most unpredictable sumo wrestler he will ever fight against.
"Oi", Daihannaya calls out to Onimaru, "Don't you think you are taking me too lightly?"
'BEGIN', calls and Daihannya charges forward and slams into Onimaru. "Like I'd sidestep against a pipsqueak like you", he taunts.
Lexi and Saki are shocked at this approach and how quickly Onimaru has been caught up in a hand grappling match on the edge of the ring.
