[center]Reactions of the round Lee vs Michael[/center]
[hr]
[indent]Bakuto had watched the  battles with firm concentration.  First battle he watched was the former champions battle that he had looked forward to watch, it didnt end as he expected.  Bakuto expected the champion to clean up the battle because he was the champion but he lost. Bakuto stood up on his feet the moment he lost.   Those last moments a lot happened at once, Michael the champion appeared to use some sort of Twister attack, but Lee didnt wait for the storm to pick up and quickly did away with the champion.  Bakuto had wanted to prove what he could do against what was considered the best being a champion and he as already defeated.



This Lee character got Bakuto's eye.   Bakuto could see how he won, he had youth and speed against the much older Michael.  Bakuto thought his next battle wouldnt be like any of the preliminary battles or the other rounds before this one.   This guy could fight, and fight fast on stop of that he had the strength Bakuto hadn't seen in a lot of the other competitors up until that moment.[/indent]

[hr]
[indent]The battled that followed this was a great treat for Bakuto, a battle of speed between two fighters but in the end the one they called Eclipse won the battle.  Once against much like Lee Bakuto saw someone else that had a similar strength that he also had.  Bakuto didnt know either but now his eyes were on Eclipse, Bakuto wanted to test his own speed against his and he thought he would get a chance possibly in the finals should both of them match it to the end of the tournament.[/indent]

[indent]The last battle of second round, Bakuto was getting fired up more before that fight had begun.  Then the ending happened, Bakuto stood up and loudly exclaimed, [color=lightblue]"Wait that was  the ending? She gives up in the middle of an intense fight? What's going on?!"[/color]  Bakuto's outrage wasnt answered, but he watched the battle from the roof he sat on, he watched like a hawk yet he didnt see what had happened.  This wasnt the right way this battle was meant to go.  Based on the two in the rings reaction they both seemed shocked.  Someone or something ruined that great fight and Bakuto was not happy the way it ended and was looking to put his frustrations and anger into his next fight.[/indent]

[indent]Bakuto waited for the semi finals for what seemed to him to take forever.  As his round was ready, he took his extra's senzu bean. as he ate it, he entered the ring.  Bakuto was thinking back about the past battles, this was the semi finals and the way the other battles ended.  Bakuto knew he could no longer hold back.  He showed a bit of what he could do in that last round, now he wasn't going to hold back against this Lee character.  

Something was wrong from that last fight but Bakuto couldn't dwell on that he had to focus on his fight and his fight alone.  Bakuto took his spot the same spot he had in his other round matches now he stood their waiting for his opponent to emerge. His demeanor and tone was different then the first round match up.  While the first round of the tournament Bakuto was excited and could barely control it his tone shift was more serious.  His gaze was stared straight at where his opponent would enter from, as he stood there silently he was focused on one thing.  The battle that is yet to come.[/indent]
