Rix contemplated what to wear, although she would not play unfair unless he did, it would be useful to have him distracted. Rix was in no way ugly or fat, in fact, she was beautiful and had a great figure and she was aware of it. She tied her long, silky hair up in a ponytail that swished when she walked and evilly smiled while she put her clothes on imagining his shock but little did she know Artemis was also thinking a distraction would be helpful.

Artemis sat in his room glad, for once, that Butler had forced him to work out. He knew that Rix would use her assets as well as she can and he couldn`t object after all he was going to do the same. She smiled his vampire smile once again knowing that Rix was in for a shock.

They both walked confidently to the court with the same thought running through their head. He`s /She`s in for the surprise of a life time. Victory shall be mine!

Author`s Note:

How much would you hate me if I ended it here? LOL (Yes, I use LOL) I just started writing my first fan fiction, I can`t have people hate my guts already. On with the story now

Artemis was first to arrive and was warming up when Rix arrived grinning mischievously but was immediately taken aback. She had prepared herself for Artemis to be ready to be for retaliation and also surprise her but she never expected him to go all out. Her preparations paled in comparison. The game hadn`t even started yet but he was already wining.

Artemis carried on warming up and was pleased by her reaction. He flexed and stretched very much aware of her eyes on him but kept calm not wanting to stare at her yet. "Like what you see?" He smirked. As he predicted her face turned bright red and she tried to deny it stuttering. "You didn`t have to go shirtless, you know?" She asked. "You wouldn`t have enjoyed the game as much if I hadn`t. Besides it was a perfect opportunity to show off my newly developed six-pack." Artemis replied matter-of-factly. "Whatever" she grumbled trying to hide her embarrassment. "Before we play, might I add, that you look stunning today?" He said laughing. Artemis thought it wasn`t possible for her face to get redder but it did but for some reason died down as quickly as it got red and was replaced by a smug grin. "Thank you, I put in a little extra effort, I`m glad you noticed."

She was wearing a black shirt that cinched at the waist and hugged her hips but was loose at the top and of the shoulder that was low cut so you could see the red sports bar she had on underneath with short shorts. What made Artemis laugh however was what was written on the shirt. It said: Don`t hate me `cause I`m beautiful, hate your boyfriend `cause he thinks I am. This was VERY Rix like he decided. "Where`d you get the shirt?" He asked genuinely curious. "I personally designed it myself." She answered. "I read that quote somewhere and took a genuine and immediate liking to it. I think it fits my personality very well."

Chuckling they walked onto the court and were about to begin the game when Artemis asked "What`s in it for the winner?" "How about, being a slave for a week?" Rix offered. "Sounds fair enough" he grunted and they at last began to play. It was an intense game where the rallies seemed to never stop and both flew back and forth across the court hoping to score a point. They were very evenly matched much to their chagrin and their scores were constantly tied. Although physical skill was important, this was a battle of wits and self-control. The first to give into frustration and make a reckless move would lose. They played for an hour and a half until that one moment when one made a reckless error, tired at lack of progress. After that they shook hands and exchanged compliments. It was decided Rix was to be Artemis` slave for a week.

The REAL Author's Note:

How was it? I was really conflicted on who should win and I was going to have a poll then I realized that my story isn`t popular enough for that. If(hopefully when) my story has more readers/reviewers I will make them compete again and use the results^^ Anyone else want to see a teenage Artemis shirtless?
