Mission: Avoid Sudden Death!
Will This Change Our Relationship?
"Hell, no!" Soul yelled at his best friend as everyone who was on the ground or had fled from Patty retained their composers, "I'm not gonna kiss Maka!"
"I refuse to change my dare!" the knucklehead pressed.
"Then, you have to play with Kid, Liz, and Patty!"
"HAHA! That leaves Crona, Tsubaki, and Maka with you! This will be easy!"
'Soul, if we lose, I'm going to hurt you…' I thought, frowning at the whole situation.
Soul was frowning as well at Black Star, but then, rounded up our team to set a strategy.
"Maka, you guard Patty. Crona can guard Liz and Tsubaki gets Kid." he said.
"Why do I get Patty?" I asked.
"Do you want her scaring Crona?"
I stayed silent and just nodded.
"Alright. Let's go."
The two teams got into their positions for the start of the game.
Whoot. Whoot. Whoot.
The ball was checked and in play on Black Star's team. The ninja ran down the court as Soul was right on his heels. He jumped up to shoot the ball, only to get it stolen by Soul.
"Tsubaki!" he called, passing it over to the weapon.
She turned and ran for the other basket, making us a point. Kid got the ball and got ready to put it back in play. After a quick pass to Patty, I pathetically tried running after the hyperactive girl, only to end up losing her and letting her get a point for her team.
"Shit…" my partner hissed.
"It's just one point, Soul." I told him.
"Yea, but still."
I nodded, knowing why he didn't want even one point for Black Star. I got the ball to put in back in play, passing it over to Soul. Though the ball didn't agree with me and went flying at Crona, hitting him in the face. He started crying and, feeling bad for him, I ran over to see if he was okay.
"Maka, Crona, come on!" I heard Soul yelling at us, "Kid has the ball!"
His obsession with symmetry would surely land him a basket and that's just what happened even though the ninja's weapon tried to prevent it.
Tsubaki passed the ball into Soul as I got Crona to calm down and get back up to play. My weapon and his best friend looked as if they were dancing as Soul tried making his way to the basket that would score for us. After faking right and fooling the ninja, he got us yet another point.
"Two to two." I commented, "One more basket decides the winner…"
Black Star got the ball and looked around at his options. Kid, Patty, or Liz?
"LIZ!" he yelled, throwing the ball at the older sister who had only been playing with her nails the whole game.
"What?" she said, looking up.
It was her turn at kiss the ball.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" she yelled as the ball flew up.
"MOVE IT! MOVE IT! MOVE IT!" Black Star yelled as he ran for the ball.
His speed had increased to where Soul was left in the dust. The only one on our team close enough was Crona.
'Oh, dear Shinigami-sama…' I thought.
"CRONA!" my weapon and I yelled, "GET THE BALL!"
"What?" he said timidly before Black Star ran on his face to get the ball.
He fell down to the ground, crying once again, as Ragnarok came out to bully the poor boy.
"SHIT!" Soul cursed, running after Black Star.
All I could do at this point was watch.
And watch.
And watch.
As Black Star flew up a second time.
And dunk the ball.
Right in the basket.
And score the Fate-deciding point.
Now, I'm really gonna kill Black Star.
