"Hey twerp" Shark smiled and pushed by people on motorcycle driving by Yuma. Yuma shook his head and kept heading home on his way from school. "Why do you let him all you those names Yuma?" Astral asked appearing beside him "Aw he's just Shark that's how he is" Yuma brushed it off smiling "Humans are funny" Astral mused. "Well you're not so normal yourself" Yuma shot back eyeing the blue spirit. He stepped inside and looked around for his older sister "Kari?" he called. No answer. He sighed relived and ran up to his room in the attic.

After Yuma had laid down in his hammock Astral asked "why don't you call shark anything back if it is nothing Yuma?" Yuma looked up at Astral. "Well because he's Shark!" "That was your answer to my last question perhaps you should instead tell me what it means 'to be shark'" Astral sat on the floor. "Astral" Yuma sighed. "Shark is like a lone wolf and not friends with someone like me he's someone untouchable I can't give him names like…pet name s…he's well he's Shark." Yuma ended smiling.

"You like him" Astral confirmed. "What? Astral you know I don't he's a jerk" Yuma defended himself his face flushing. "No that's the way Katori smiles when she talks about Shark I know you like him in the same way she does." Astral crossed his arms. "Astral your crazy" Yuma replied turning away so Astral didn't see the red deepen on his face "Your only trying to convince yourself that" Astral said letting it go.

"What do ya mean? I so kicked butt that last duel!" Yuma exclaimed to Astral pumping his fist in the air. "Talking to yourself again Yuma?" Shark mused walking up to him. "No I'm ta…" Yuma trailed off knowing if he said anything about Astral Shark wouldn't believe him. "so what if I am?" Yuma shot "Why is it you always respond to him in yelling?" Astral asked. Yuma shot him a look. "Nothing I guess" Shark shrugged and started to leave "oh I forgot loser I had something to ask you" Shark said stopping. Shark walked back to Yuma and whisperd a few moments in his ear. Yuma shook his head yes as Shark steped away. Shark smiled "later" he turned and walked away.

Yuma slowly fell backwards ending sprawled on the pavement. "What did he ask you Yuma?" Astral asked looking down at him. "H-he asked if I would go to the dance…with him" Yuma breathed slowly getting up. "I told you, you like him." Astral said walking away "Hey! Hey Astral wait up!" Yuma called running after him.

"Gosh Astral" Yuma exclaimed trying to tie his tie. "Yes?" Astral came over to him "do I look alright?" Astral looked him over. Yuma was wearing a black dress shirt with a purple tie tucked into black pants. "You look alright to me" Astral shook his head. "Why are you not wearing your blue tie?" he asked "oh" Yuma smiled "I know Shark will wear purple" Astral smiled something he didn't often do. "Ok! I'm ready!" Yuma headed down stairs.

"Yuma!" Kari yelled. Yuma cringed. "Yah?" "Where are you going?" she crossed her arms. "school" Yuma slowly backed away from her "it's a Friday night" she raised an eyebrow. "dance
