We find Kenshi driving down the highway in his Cougar nicely dressed and smelling fresh. In the passenger seat is his beloved Leslie who also is clean and dressed up. "Can I change the radio station Kenshi?" she asked. Kenshi looked back at her and gave her a loving smile. "No." She narrowed her eyes and glared back at him. He returned his gaze to the road and started laughing. He changed his answer. "Alright, but you're not going to put it on some junk are you?" She turned her head and replied playfully, "Fine, I won't change it then." Kenshi smirked. "Yep, you're definitely a woman." Leslie turned back and glared again. "What's that supposed to mean?" Kenshi showed a false expression of worry. "Umm... it means you smell good?" She took this chance to insult him back. "Yep, that's a good way to distinguish males from females." He narrowed his eyes, still looking at the road. She stared at him smiling humorously. "Don't worry Kenshi, you smell good. In fact, I almost mistook you for a girl when I first saw you today." Kenshi halfway smiled back. "I don't know if I should feel complimented or insulted by that." She grinned even more. "Have I told you how stunning you look today?" "Oh I see how it is, now you're trying to make up for that evil insult." Her face formed an innocent expression. "Is it working?" Kenshi hesitated and lowered his head a little. "... Yes." She giggled a little at his response. She took his hand which was resting on the console between the two seats and held it in hers.

Kenshi turned into the parking lot of a nice restaurant. The two stepped out of the car and walked towards the entrance. Kenshi walked beside her. When they reached the door, Kenshi opened it and allowed Leslie to walk through first. She smiled at his kindness and walked in, followed by Kenshi. They stood at the doorway and a waitress approached them. Her eyes widened and she appeared to be surprised. She asked nervously, "Table for two?" Kenshi felt confused and hesitated. Leslie responded to the waitress, "Yes." The waitress showed them to a table and asked them what kind of drink they desired. She then left them and walked toward the back. Kenshi turned to Leslie. "What was that all about?" She replied, "I think she knows who you are." "Here in Nineveh?" "Well you are somewhat popular you know." Kenshi looked back at where the waitress had went and saw that she was with another waitress and both were looking back. This somewhat annoyed him. As he looked, they turned away and acted natural. Then Kenshi noticed other people in the room looking at him. This annoyed him even more. Then a large man walked into the building through the same door Kenshi and Leslie had entered. Kenshi looked at him and sensed that he had powers. He watched the man. The man looked back and started approaching. Kenshi stood up and took a defensive stance. The people around him were surprised but none of them moved. The man stopped several feet away. He spoke. "You must be Kenshi." Kenshi replied with a harsh tone, "And who are you?" "I have came from far away to meet you. My name is Tanso." Kenshi's eyes narrowed. Tanso responded, "I'm not here to fight." Kenshi loosened up some. "Then what are you here for?" "I came to meet the son of Bahamut." "How did you know about me? Where do you come from?" "I come from Dallas." "But that's over 100 miles from here. How did you know about me?" Tanso looked a bit confused. "How could I not know about you? Everyone knows the great Kenshi. Especially the other centra." Kenshi looked puzzled. "Centra?" "That's what people have started calling us. You don't watch much TV, do you?" Kenshi asked, "Do you know a centra called Cain?" "Of course, everyone knows Cain. The strongest known of the evil centra. He'd have to be strong to have been a match for you." Kenshi's face started showing anger again. Leslie jumped up. "Kenshi, don't get angry now." Kenshi said, "He got lucky. He won't defeat me again." Tanso replied with surprise, "He defeated you?" Leslie cut in again, "That was the past. And like Kenshi said, it won't happen again." Tanso smiled at her. "You two make a nice couple." Kenshi's angry face turned into a small smile and slight blush. Leslie smiled as well and looked over at Kenshi. Everyone in the room was watching the whole scene.

Another large man walked into the doors. Kenshi and Tanso sensed that he was another centra. They both watched him. The man smiled a little. "I have came to kill the dragon prince." He formed the hilt of his sword in his hand and started walking towards Kenshi. Kenshi thought about all the people in the room and said, "Let's take this outside." But the man formed an orange blade from his hilt and swung it down at Kenshi's head. Kenshi formed his sword and blocked the attack. Everyone else moved back from the fight, including Tanso. Everyone ran outside except for Tanso, Leslie, and a few daring people who watched from a distance. Kenshi swung his sword back at his opponent who jumped back and dodged the attack. The man started forming a blue ball of cold energy in his hands. Kenshi put his sword in front of him and prepared for the attack. The evil centra threw the ball missing Kenshi by several feet. Kenshi started to smile but looked back and saw that the ball was flying towards Leslie. Tanso formed his red sword and jumped in front of the ball. He absorbed it through his sword but the energy required to absorb it left him laying on the ground. Kenshi looked back to see a sword coming down at his head. He ducked and swung up his sword at the same time, barely defending the attack. Kenshi was very angry that he tried to attack Leslie. He swung his sword sideways toward his opponent. It was so fast that the normal humans only saw a blur. The attack was blocked however and countered with a diagonal slice downward. Kenshi jumped forward, holding his sword to his side, and cut through the neck of his enemy as he flew beside him. Kenshi landed and the decapitated centra fell to the ground. Kenshi angrily looked at the body. He noticed the bladeless hilt of the man's sword disappear.

He looked back at Leslie. "Are you ok?" She shook her head yes but looked down at Tanso. Kenshi looked down at him as well. Tanso raised his head and looked at Kenshi. Then he slowly raised himself and stood up smiling. "What a day. I saved Kenshi's girlfriend, I saw him fight, and I even saw him go up in rank." Kenshi was confused from the last remark until he noticed that his sword had changed to yellow. Leslie stated to Tanso with a tone of false anger, "I have a name you know." Tanso gained a worried expression. "Yes... Of course." Kenshi laughed and made his sword disappear. Leslie looked at Kenshi. "What are you laughing at?" Kenshi coughed a little. "Oh nothing..." She smiled slightly. Kenshi looked around, seeing that, although one person was quite disgusted by the decapitated corpse, no one was hurt. Kenshi was unhappy that his date with Leslie had been interrupted but she seemed happy so he didn't worry about it.
