Kid returned a few minutes later, Liz handed a tee-shirt in through the door, smirking. I assumed Kid was outside the door. I threw on the tee and stepped out of the infirmary. Kid's cheeks were still a bit red, but my temporary healing had worn off and I could barely stand, so he put am arm around my torso to help me. It was silent the whole way home, I had really screwed up this time.

We arrived at the mansion, and Kid carried me up the stairs, I was thankful, but why wasn't he speaking? He layed me on the bed, and left, muttering something about making dinner. I don't understand, I thought...

Things were way too awkward between me and Kid for us to do anything together anymore, after a couple days of rest my wound was naturally healed enough for me to stand and walk, but classes sometimes had battles between students, and the school didn't want me to get hurt any further.

Three more days had passed, Kid started talking to me, though usually brief, and my wound was mostly healed, I could now attend classes. I was assigned to another fight with BlackStar, and this time we would have our weapons.

I stepped to the front of the classroom, my wound was still bleeding but it got better, I could fight now, and I had taken on some easier missions, mostly retrieval though. Brit stood to my left, and Tsubaki just behind BlackStar. I took a deep breath and held out my left hand. "Brit. BladeDancer." I closed my eyes, Brit nodded, and almost immediately I felt the cool handle of a sword in my hand. I opened my eyes and glared at BlackStar. "Round two, good luck, Blue." I emphasized the last bit, and watched him get steaming mad. A smirk almost immediately formed on my face, and he stopped cold.

"Tsubaki, Enchanted Sword mode!" He called, Tsubaki smiled lightly and took on the form of a katana, the blade was dark, this was going to be interesting. I studied his position, form, and technique, he was a skilled fighter, I'll give him that, but he wouldn't beat me this time either.

After about 2 minutes of dodging and blocking BlackStar's attacks, I began to strike back, the room dimmed and Brit's blade began to glow, BlackStar continued to attack, this wouldn't get him anywhere. We had each landed a couple of hits on eachother, but neither of us were bleeding yet, despite both of us using swords. He was planning something, he had to be, or he would have finished this by now. I let the light of the room go, it had done its job for now. The lights went back to normal, as did the blade of  my sword. Brit transformed to Spear form. It was time to deal some real damage. I held her out in front of me, our soul wavelengths merged, this wasn't my proper resonance spell, but it would be enough to at least knock him out. A circle appeared in the air in front of me, spinning faster and faster until...

The circle opened up and a large sphere of light appeared, "Kaleidosco-" I began, BlackStar smirked, Damn it, I fell into his trap. A few moments ago my Kaleidoscope was aimed directly at him, now he was behind me, what happened?! He brought an elbow up at my side, hitting my wound full-force with his soul wavelength, my kaleidoscope had already dissipated and the light was just returning to the room, I brought a hand to the newly opened wound, coughing, blood dripped down my chin, I fell to my knees, the last thing I heard was someone calling my name.
