"All right, Shinra, looks like they are planning something, be on your guard." Shira said to his partner as they rushed towards the guy low to the ground.

"But he looks so damn lazy, just crouching like that! Plus, I'm hungry and have to go eat soon, so I want to get this finished as quick as possible!" Shinra whined.

"NOW!" Kino shouted, dashing forward and pulling the sword out of it's sheath. He swung the sword in a downward motion, while swinging the sheath towards the girls side, which seemed like it fell all into one fluid motion from when he was crouching.

"Wha-" Shinra cried as she blocked the sword coming at her face, then feeling a sharp blow to her side as the sheath connected with her ribs.

"Shinra!" Shira cried, as he switched back to his human form and catching Shinra before she hit the ground. "Shinra, are you all right?" Shira said, looking at Shinra as she clutched her side and gasped for air.

"Think we overdid it?" Kino asked, putting the sheath back on the sword. "Maybe, I think you broke her ribs." Dayna said, as she too transformed back.

"The match has ended, Kino and Dayna, you win. Now to get Shinra to the infirmary. This looks pretty bad." Cid said, rushing up to the four.

"Sorry 'bout that, I didn't mean to swing that hard." Kino said, rubbing the back of his head. "Kino! Good job on winning!" Black*Star said, as he walked up to him.

"MAKA...CHOP!"

~CRACK~

"Owwwww...What was that for Maka?" Black*Star complained as he rubbed the back of his head. "My student is seriously injured and all you have to say is 'Good Job'? Show some respect, tell him to be careful!" Maka yelled at Black*Star.

"What can I say? He takes after the Great me!" Black*Star said, triumphantly. "Oh, never mind, just help us get Shinra to the infirmary." Maka said, storming off.

"Somethings never change, eh, Black*Star." a voice behind Black*Star said. "I know, glad they keep this way, Kidd-kun." Black*Star said, giggling. "That was a funny battle, eh, sis?" Patty giggled. "Yes, very interesting..." Liz said, looking at her nails.

"Well, let's go help them." Black*Star said, walking up behind Tsubaki. "All right, then after, I have some one I'd like you to meet." Kidd said, smiling.


So, I know this chapter is a bit short and all, but it had to be. It's for suspense!. So, continue reading and I should have the next chapter up some time this week!
