P.O.V. [Name]

I sighed as I looked at the two females in front of me. I have to admit it seems like their a bit more skilled than when the four of us originally fought Shimo. I guess they've been training like we have. 

We didn't use our swords since they'd be a little to dangerous for a friendly spar and we still haven't gotten used to using them in battle competently yet. Aoi then stood up and looked at us with a smile. 

"I have to admit the two of you have gotten a lot better since the last time we trained," She said looking at us. 

"Yeah, I could say the same to you," I said looking at the blue haired female in front of me. She smiled when I said this and her face her face quickly changed to more serious one as she and Sayaka readied themselves. 

I then turned and looked in the direction that the two were facing and saw Shimo looking at us with a smile. I reached for the Masamune and he smiled. "I wouldn't be so quick to draw attention," He said as he looked at us. 

"Since when do we have a reason to listen to you?" Blaze asked looking at the male in front of us.

"Ever since I got some extra leverage," He said as he snapped his fingers when he did I heard something above us and looked to see Flare floating in the air. She had chains made of ice around her and several ice spikes were floating around her. 

My eyes widened when I saw this and looked at the male. I once again reached for my blade but when I did Shimo smiled and I heard the ice start to move towards Flare. When I heard this I took my hands away from the Masamune and he looked at us. 

"What do you want?" I asked looking at him. 

"Revenge mostly," He said looking at me. When he said this I looked at him and he smiled. "I'm not going to waste a lot of time, so here's what I want. In five hours I want the four of you to meet me where we first met," He said looking at the four of us. 

"Why?" Sayaka asked looking at the male. 

"That's where all this started, it's only natural that's where it should all end," He said looking at us. I tensed up hearing this and looked a Blaze. That was the place that he died, sure he's gotten stronger but if what King said is true then that power is only temporary and we'll be out of breath in no time. 

"I was never one for traps or deception so yes I intend to fight you and yes my friend will be there. Weather he chooses to fight or not is completely up to him. However if I had to guess then I'd say that he probably does intend to fight," He said looking at us. 

I tensed up hearing this and looked at the male. I'm sure he has something planned for when we show up but there's no way of telling what it is. "Oh and feel free to tell King and his precious little tamer about this as well, I'd tell him myself but I'd rather not risk making a scene in the middle of Star Shade," He said looking at us. 

He then began to stand and looked at us. "Oh and if I see that you brought anyone apart from the six of you then I'll kill her then and there," Shimo said looking at us. When he said this I saw Blaze tense up and Shimo smiled. 

"Remember you have five hours and I'll be waiting, If you don't show up then you may want to send a search party to find this poor girls remains," Shimo said as he began to fade away. When he did we saw Flare also start to fade away. 

When he said this I looked at Blaze and sighed. "So what do you think we should do?" I asked looking at him. 

"I think we should do what he says," He said looking at me. 

"Blaze you know that," I began only for him to cut me off. 

"Yeah, he's probably got some traps planned and he also has his friend with him. So he clearly has the advantage over us," Blaze said looking at me. I sighed hearing this and looked at the male. So he does know the situation we're in but I also know the situation he's in. 

"Just try to stay clam," I heard Sayaka say behind us. When I looked at her she sighed and continued to explain. "He'll be where we first met and that we have five hours right? Well it only takes three to get there so we have two extra hours to prepare," Sayaka said looking at us. 

"We should probably also tell King he might have some information on Shimo that might make defeating him a bit easier," I said looking at Blaze when I said this he nodded and we looked at Aoi and Sayaka. 

"We'll meet the two of you in two hours," I said looking at them. 

"Okay, let's meet in a few hours," I said looking at the two when I said this the two nodded and began to walk away. When they did I turned and looked at Blaze. "Don't worry I'm sure that we'll get her back," I said looking at him. 

"Yeah, I know," Blaze said as he began to walk down the streets. I must say that even if I hate Shimo I do agree with him. It's about time we end this feud between us before it gets even more out of hand.
