[indent]Second up into the World Martial Arts Tournament ring was Bakuto.  First he started off pacing, Bakuto was barely able to contain his excitement.  Somehow he managed to bottle up is own excitement long enough to turn to his opponent and give him a respectful bow. He gave the fight the proper respect he believed is was owed and that of his opponent.  While he did not know his opponent Rhine he gave him the same respect he would give any man, woman or child that he would fight in any competition.

With very few words spoken Bakuto was quick to take up a fighting stance.  The moment he took up the stance his trembling and frantic excitement stopped.  His tone and facial expression changed, as he had gotten ready he got more serious about fight that was to come. His breath was steadied and his eyes pin pointed locked on his opponent. The only thing he waited for now was for the go ahead to begin his fight.[/indent]
