Amami
Amami emerged from the Ramen stand with a smile on her face. Her stomach was now full and so she was ready and willing to go face the day. She began to casually amble towards the northern side of the city, with the intention of meeting up with some of her friends. They were old college pals who had also come to Tokyo seeking jobs, so Amami had kept in touch with them. Sure, sometimes seeing them brought about unpleasant memories, but it was a small price to pay for having such great friends. Besides, who else had she gone into a real battle with? Who else did she share such a close bond with? The answer to that question, of course, was nobody
As she was walking, she noticed a girl jumping along the roofs with a big axe on her back. Amami furrowed her brows and mumbled "What the?" However, she didn't consider it for very long, deciding "She must be practicing for a movie or something" At that, Amami continued her walk into the Northern part of the city, watching various people walk by. Eventually, Amami found a seat on a bench and began passively people watching, enjoying the view as they walked to their various destinations. She wasn't sure why, but today felt different from most days, and Amami was looking forward to uncovering the answer.

Kasumi
Kasumi lounged around on her roof for a few more minutes before deciding to get back out into the city. She got up and stretched with a yawn that didn't befit a seasoned warrior like Kasumi. It was light, girlish even, it was the yawn truly befitting a still young woman. She grabbed her axe from where it lay on the ground and gently locked it onto her back before taking off across the roofs of the city again. About a week ago she'd heard of a place where people could still go to practice fighting. It was a place for normal people, sure, but if she was careful then she might just get away with it. The place had been described, at Kasumi's request, to her as a Shrine, so that was what Kasumi looked for. However, then an arrow embedded itself next to Kasumi's feet, and she turned to find another Sekirei facing her. The woman wore a shortened version of a Shrine Maiden's outfit, and held a bow in hand.
"I am number 26, Kumiko, and I would like to challenge you to a duel in the name of my Ashikabi." Of course, Kumiko didn't wait for an answer either, she was already prepping another arrow. Kasumi, however, didn't want to fight without her Ashikabi. After all, what would be the point in a duel if she didn't have a cause to fight for? So Kasumi drew her axe but began to flee, heading for that Shrine. After all, she reasoned, they couldn't fight with too many normal people around. It took minutes of jumping and narrowly dodging arrows, and indeed one she didn't dodge lodged into her left arm. However, as she jumped into the shrine, an arrow caught her in the lower leg, causing Kasumi to release a loud yell of pain as she smacked into the ground with a loud THUD! She could hear Kumiko coming up to finish the job, and though Kasumi ripped out the arrow and readied her axe to block, she wasn't so sure if she could win. She got to her feet painfully, and readied to fight whether she liked it or not, even though she could hear people in the Shrine.
