Akita listened very carefully to Brass's explanation of the Room of Spirit and Time, then looked at the others.  Each of them would be spending a day in there, but it would feel like a year.  Akita didn't mind going in on the second day, but how would they pair up?  Of course the woman would want to be sent in with her son, but was that the right thing?  She definitely wasn't as strong as Kiro and Shaz, but even though she didn't train the same, she was always training her ki.  Did Suno need to learn how to be in touch with his ki, or did he need to get stronger?  She let out a sigh as she looked at her little boy.  If Suno went without her, the next time she would see him, he wouldn't be so little.  It was a selfish thought, Akita knew this, but she couldn't help but worry.  Missing Shin's growth throughout a year wouldn't be so bad, considering he was done growing.  Then again, Suno would need to train with Shin to gain the training he really needed.  As far as Suno going in with Kiro, it was out of the question.  Suno would need at least one of his parents, especially if it was going to feel like a year.

Akita could accept Suno going into the Room with his father, but then she thought of being in the room with Kiro for a year.  It wasn't that she didn't like him- he was like a brother to her!  The problem was they were off par.  Kiro was so much stronger than her, how could Akita keep up with his training?  Shaz and Kiro were so close in power, they could continue to challenge and test each other every single day.  She shook her head.  Any way they went, it seemed they would lose.  After a moment of thinking, Akita spoke.  "I think Shaz and Suno should go in together today.  Kiro and I can train tomorrow."
