Kota was among the audience that sat around the ring, waiting for the fight to begin.  He had been participating in watching the Tournaments for a while now and this had been his fourth one!  The excitement built within him, whether if it was because it had been against his fathers wishes or if he enjoyed them did not matter, only that the fight was about to begin.  Forcing himself to a better seat, Kota quickly rushed down the stair cases to the very edge of the side-bleachers, watching with his up most attention on the fighters that were coming out.  They were warriors, yet they lived every day lives like most people.

That brought his hopes up...maybe, he too could be a part of the Tournament, and win the Zeni award!  He could feel it in his heart that one day, he would become a fighter of awesome power, just like the very ones that he was watching.  But now was not the time to be hoping and wishing.  Now was the time to be watching.  All eyes gathered on the ring, Kota's watching closest the most of all.
