I will teach you how to be a weapon Ayoko!

"Why?" I asked, smiling at him "Turn that frown upside down!"

"Come on Ayoko, I'm not in the mood." I grumbled.

"Sorry..." I mumbled, hanging my head down low.

Now at the hotel's restaurant, I sat down at a table with a glass of water and a hard boiled egg.

I sat down at the same table with 2 sunny side up egg and 2 strips of bacon.

I lazily rolled the egg around my plate and took small sips of water. [How do people eat so much?] I wondered.

I took a bite of my egg and smiled "This is amazing!"

[Rub it in my face why don't ya?] "Glad your enjoying." I said in my usual monotone voice. "I'm sorry our first day of the mentoring program ended in failure."

"Don't be sorry!" I said, my smile widening "in the end the kishin died and that's all that matters."

"What mattered was that we improved on your training. That didn't happen. We easily could have killed a Kishin like that, the point was to teach you, and I failed in that."

"It did give me some experience though."

"I suppose, but I still didn't accomplish what needed to be done."

"Ace, there are many other missions I could go on, it's okay."

"I guess your right..." I sighed.

"Now let's finish up quickly and leave."

"Alright." I swallowed the egg whole, and washed it down with the water, then stood up. "Ready?"

"Yea." I said with a mouth full of bacon.

I ran out the door, and went to check out, signalling Ayoko to go to the boat.

I walked to the docks and waited next to our boat for Ace, tapping my foot.

I arrived at the boat, slouched over, bags under my eyes, and a glum expression as always. "Ready to go?"

"Yea." I replied, getting on the boat. I didn't really try to be that perky since he didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

Once we were aboard the ship, I walked to our cabin and sat on the bed.

Instead of going to the cabin with Ace, I just looked at the ocean and smiled.

I lie down on the bed and tried to fall asleep, but it was too early in the morning.

I rested my elbows on the railings and took in a deep breath. "God I love the ocean." I whispered, smiling at the beautiful clear blue sky.
