   I never managed to go back to sleep, so I just lay in the bed, messing around with my sword, Excalibur. I looked to Adaliz as she started to awake, but I suddenly couldn't help but glare at Jay, when I realized his thin arms were wrapped around my sister.
   "Adaliz, dont just lay there. He's a servant of the royal family, I bet he doesn't know anything of love and affection. Don't trust the guy," I said and gritted my teeth. She nodded sadly and left his arms, while making sure he stayed asleep. I left the bed that had Taiyo in it, and she started to awake as well. I turned to her, and watched as her beautiful eyes opened.
   The red haired female sat up and put her hair into a clean ponytail. I looked away from her to the blue haired male, and spoke to the girls, "We can't leave until the birdie wakes up," I said, with a small chuckle from each of them. I smiled and went to the washroom, "Ada, knock on the door when he does."
   "Okay Brother!" She said and I closed the door, bringing my Excalibur with me. I laid it down on the countertop and got into the shower, after undressing. I couldn't help but speak aloud as the water ran over my bare body.
   "Love at first sight is fake, right? It has to be. There isn't a way I could fall into love within a day of meeting a girl. She's just that. A girl. I don't like her like that, I might, but I don't now,"  I washed myself and stood in the water with thoughts running through my head. I heard a knock and got out, dressing myself back into the clothes I had, because I hadn't brought anything else.
   "Ah, look, the birdie is awake," I said and chuckled. Jay just glared at me and stood, brushing his blue hair out of his eyes. "Where are we going now? You are the only one who can lead the way."
   He sighed, "I know I am. And how did I end up getting stuck with the Altairs... your sister is fine, but you definitely deserve to be fighting."
   I watched as he walked to the door, and opened it, leading the way outside and returning keys to the person who owned the room. I put Excalibur's sheath on my back, and Excalibur into it.
   We walked through crowds of people, watching as faces passed us. We stopped at a large gate over an hour afterwards, Jay led us through it, and there were tons of rooms in the building, "Woah...." I sighed out and Adaliz gripped Jay's hand, thinking it was me. She then yelled, realizing it was the blue-haired messenger, and ran to my side, clutching my hand.
   Taiyo smiled, and Jay spoke, "Welcome to the Barracks. The place you will be living throughout the tournament."
