"This should be interesting." Akera said as he looked down at the ring. Yu who sat beside him smirked.

"None of the players have even come out yet." Yu said. Akera glanced over at her. It was strange seeming him so interested in something like this. Usually he was just very mellow and had a smoke whenever he could. Yu pulled some her brown hair out of her face.

"Yeah but the teams are evenly matched tonight so it should be interesting." Shifa said. Yu raised an eyebrow at the other girl but said nothing. Burak and Kai sat quietly watching the people around them and their friends talk. Shifa sighed and turned to them. "Are you to going to talk or are you going to brood the whole time?" She asked innocently. Kai frowned at her and Burak smirked.

"What I can't scope out girls?" He asked. Shifa stared at him with an annoyed look.

"Please like they would actually look at you." Burak stared at her half surprise she actually said it and half surprised she challenged him. She smirked at him and Kai gave a small laugh behind him. He frowned at her.

"Burak don't take it personally Shifa likes to get under people's skin." Takumi called at him from a few seats down. Burak went red at Shifa smirked at him then turned making her black braid swing.

"Yu do you know the rules of the game?" Shifa asked. The water bender shrugged.

"A few I suppose. I mean I've read about it in the paper." Akera glanced back at her.

"Just ask if you have any questions then." Yu smiled.

"I think it's pretty easy to understand six people fighting each other with bending...no offense." Akera shrugged and smiled before taking his eyes away from her and the rest of them. He glanced at the ring just as the speaker came on.

"And now folks I would like to introduce the Bearcats!" The crowd around them screamed and cheered for the team as they came up on the platform. "The Bearcats are currently led by fire bender Lee Harmuo and he is accompanied by his teammates water bender Mikasa Lung and earth bender Arimozo Hertachi!" he crow still cheered and the teens leaned their heads forward to see them. "The bear cats have done very well this and have even beat the Fire ferrets! They will sometimes sign autographs and talk to their fans after the fight!So look out for them on your way out folks!

"Next up we have the Lion Turtles led by earth bender Saiga Ogata. Saiga is accompanied by water bender Akira Hasuki and fire bender Hikaru Shirihama." The crowd cheered louder this time. Kai scowled. and turned.

"Burak." He frowned as well but stayed silent.

"The Lion Turtles started out ruff this season but have gotten back up on their game! Their leader Saiga Ogata is known for his good looks and is a very popular person around these parts." The crowd, mainly girls, cheered as they talked about him.

The man went silent then and the took the mike. " I want a clean game!" He said as he looked at the players. They stared intently at each other. He watched them for a moment then the bell rung. Immediately the crowd was cheering and screaming. The firebender walked as close to the edge of the zone as he could. Immediately the earth bender pushed him back to the next zone.

"I don't understand he just walked up there. I thought you wanted to be as far away from the edge as you can get." Yu asked.

"The fire bender Hikaru always does it. He can fight easier that way. But since it's illegal just to go back there he has to do it that way." Shifa called over the crowd. Yu nodded as she watched. Suddenly the water bender on the Lion Turtle's side, Akira pushed a stream of water forward and on to the earth bender Arimozo. The crowd cheered and Shifa smirked.

"Her name is oddly similar to your's Akera." Shifa said. Akera rolled his eyes at the fifteen year old and looked back the ring. It was five people now. The three on the Lion Turtles and then the fire bender and water bender on the Bearcats.

"SAIGA I LOVE YOU!" Kai scowled as she heard one of the fans scream Saiga's name. Saiga however paid o attention. He and Hikaru had targeted the firebender Lee. The girl Akira watched the other water bender Mikasa intently. Mikasa was a hard opponent despite not being the captain and they all knew that.

Saiga lifted up block of earth and threw it up at Lee while Hikaru shot blasts of fire at him. They pushed him back a zone and he shot a blast of fire towards them that they easily blocked.

On the other side Mikasa remained emotionless. She ducked down just as Akira went to throw some water at her. Instead of hitting Akira she aimed for Hikaru.

"Hikaru!" Akira called. The water hit he firebdner and he was pushed back a zone. He frowned and wiped water off his helmet.

"And Mikasa has pushed Hikaru back a zone. If he is pushed back any more he will be out of this round! A very smart move preformed by the Bearcat's water bender, folks!" cried the announcer. Hikaru frowned and the instead of aiming at Lee he aimed at Mikasa. The water bender backed up slightly and turned but Akira was on her tail. She shot water at her and Mikasa was sent back a zone.

"Only a few more zones and the Lion Turtles will win!" Takumi said. Yu nodded excitedly as she watched. Saiga then with one rock disk threw it at Lee. He backed up a zone. The Lion Turtles advanced one zone up from where they were. Hikaru who was still in the back watched silently seeing if he could get a blast in. Saiga glanced over at Akira and she nodded. She quickly ran and Hikaru took his chance. He shot a blast of fire towards Mikasa. Mikasa fell back into the last zone and frowned. Akira and Saiga on the other hand had easily pushed Lee back. They attacked him at once her he feel back off the ring. Mikasa frownd looked at all of them.

"And there is only one left now! Either Mikasa will have to push them all back one zone or push them over the back or she'll lose the game!" She watched them intently. Akira and Saiga glanced at each other but t was a wrong move. At the spit second they both turned Mikasa sent a stream of water a them. However it only hit Akira and sent his skidding back to the zone Hikaru was in.

Saiga raised his eyebrow at the girl and frowned. She could easily push him back. She was smart and strong. He smirked at her and decided to take the direct approach. He took an earth disk and shot it at her then took another on and put it where he though she was goin to go. Mikasa noticed this and turned to go the other way. She pulled the water up and went to throw it at Saiga but it was too late. He had already shot a disk at her when she was bringing up the water. She gasped and then was pushed back and over the side.

The crowd cheered. "And the Lion Turtles Win!" Kai pursed her lips and stood up.

"Burak and I will be back a little later just go along without us."


"Not a bad game." Saiga commented. Akira smiled shyly at him and nodded as she took off her uniform. Saiga glanced over at Hikaru who nodded. He had known how to deal with his teammates for a while. Hikaru was never one to talk much so he had to often look over to see if he nodded or shook his head. Akira was kind but a little shy however dependable but the only problem was that she liked Saiga... a lot.

"Can I help you?" Saiga frowned slightly a he heard a familar voice.

"Is Saiga here?"

"Sorry but his fan club isn't allowed back here." The girl snorted.

"We're hardly from his fan club." Saiga turned and clapped his hands.

"Ah...Kai ad Burak good to see you again." Akira gave him a skeptical look. "It's fine Akira their friends." Akira nodded as Hikaru came up to them.

"Hikaru and I are going to talk to the fans. Your their favorite so don't be long." Saiga nodded as she and the fire bender walked away.

"So hot stuff and Burak what are you doing here?" Kai narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms. Burak sighed.

"You can't just dump a load of info on us and think were done. Why didn't you tell us you were a pro-bender? Do you even live where you say you do?" Saiga rolled his eyes at them.

"It was no use to tell you I was a pro-bender. It wouldn't have helped you. Did you tell the others about the thing I told you about?" Saiga asked. He walked back over to his locker and stuck his uniform in it before taking his shirt and putting it on. Kai went slightly red and he smirked at her.

"Of course not." She answered him. Saiga shook his head and walked back to them.

"Then how exactly are you going to find the person?" Kai narrowed her eyes and Burak frowned.

"Do you guys hear something?" Saiga and Kai glanced at each other and shook their heads. Then all three of them gasped. The room shook a bit and Kai stumbled. Saiga grabbed her and Burak grabbed one of the locker doors.

"What was that?" Kai asked as she pushed herself away from Saiga.

"I don't know but we need to go find out." Burak said.
