Umi walked through the war camp, she could feel the eyes of most of the samurai on her as she walked passed, as she came to the front lines of the siege camp she could see the people she wanted to see.
"No Maki, it's not working."
"Well what do you suggest, we can't climb the walls with that chasm in front of it and we can't attack from another direction."
"Well if we've sent three champions over and each time we've lost."
"Well it's a good think I'm here then." Umi said as she came up to the pair and taking off her helmet.
"Umi, your wearing your armour?" Maki said surprised by the blunettes entrance and her attire "And you grew your hair?"
"What are you doing here?" Eli said just as shocked "You were wounded, you should be resting."
"I'm fine, I've recovered." Umi replied "What seems to be the issue?"
"The castles got stumped." Eli sighed "We can't get near the thing except over this bridge and every time we try their champion stops use."
"Is that all." Umi said as she put her helmet back on and started to walk on the bridge "Wait here."
"Umi, come back." Maki shouted from the barricade and made to try and grab the blunette but a voice stopped her.
"Let her go Maki, you know how she is."
"Did you put her up to this?" Maki asked with a glare.
"No, I didn't, I tried keeping her back so she would be more rested but she insisted she come here." Kotori answered, holding on tight to the little girl wrapped in cloth in her arms "She also told me to tell you if she loses your to pull the army back."
"What?" shouted the pair aghast at the news but it was too late to stop her she was too far over the bridge now.
As Umi came to about three quarters of the way to the gate an arrow flew out and landed beside her followed by a voice "What is your purpose here?"
"I am here to challenge your best warrior." Umi stated calmly.
A few moments passed till the gates opened and a samurai in purple armour stood before Umi "Another fool to challenge for me to kill?" The man mocked.
"Not this time, if I defeat you your troops stand down, if you win my army leaves."
The man and his escorts burst out laughing at Umi comment, Umi merely stood watching them till they stopped "They must be desperate, very well I accept your terms."
Umi took up her stand drew her sword from her sheave, the man walked closer and responded in kind "I am Ryuzo Nakai, nephew to Kira Motonori might I know your name before I cut you down?"
'I would pity you, but your related to Kira so i do not.' Umi thought to herself.
"Your uncle caused me to leave my name behind for now, but you might know me and can call me Tsunami."
