"We're sorry, Master," Ally said, bowing down respectfully and in apology.  She noticed Akita copy her.  Her own muscles weren't too sore from the journey, but she wondered about Kiro and Akita.  She had been training for years and yet the two seemed to be right behind her in strength.  She was proud, but had to admit she was inspired, possibly even jealous, by the two.

Akita followed Ally's lead and bowed to Roshi.  She felt that they really let Roshi down, but she knew she could make it up during the tournament.  When she came up from the bow she noticed a boy race across the area from registration.
