[RL with Kaito: Don't Blink]

[seventh_gospel]

The heat was immense, the sound of the crowd was reaching high levels. Down in the pit two robots were going at it, the final fighters in this underground tournament. Sand sprayed up from the floor with every hit, and every strike got another cheer from the crowd

Bass caught Kaito's tumble out of the corner of his eyes, although by the time he looked the magician was out of sight. On reappearance he rolled his eyes; he had warned him it was dangerous here. Still pumped up from the fight and the wild cheering he went to the edge of the pit and through a door to the fighters' rooms beyond, and from there to find the head of this thing so he could collect his prize money.

Not that it was about the money-- these illegal events were how he chose to keep fit when Megaman wasn't an option. But it certainly helped with the rent.

Once his business had been taken care of, Bass moved outside and started walking back to his apartment, knowing full well Kaito would catch up with him when he spotted him.

Right on schedule. Bass turned and glanced over his shoulder, watching Kaito come up to his side. Chuckling, he flipped his hand through his hair and grinned.

"I told you I'd win." It wasn't a rebuttal sort of statement, like a child might say to their sibling when their mother sides with them. It was more a statement of fact, and the smirk that accompanied it gave it an irrefutable tone.
