Lox nodded in response to Kasumi. "Master Kanpeki will be here in the morning. Should I Send word the duel is off for now?" Lox asked Shiro. "No that would not only make him upset, but he would view me as weak. Especially if he thinks I cannot carry on our monthly ritual because of something a bat did. That would stain my honor and my image." Shiro replied calmly. "Besides, Kasumi needs to see just how strong her fiance is. This is the perfect opportunity to show off." Shiro said with a smirk.
