Forecast... Rain in the Morning cloudy in the evening

Saturday

"Are you sure you're ready for this Kreed?" Yosuke growled at me. To which I just smiled evilly.

"Brosuke, I was born ready!" We quickly looked away from each other as all of our friends were lined against the gym wall, well and a few more people as well. "My first pick will be... Mhmmm, Chie."

"Yu." Yosuke quickly pointed to the leader of our group. Chie and Yu walked up to their respected captain. I smiled at Yosuke, I had a plan, but 4 it to work... I need thee people without a doubt.

"Daisuke." Daisuke jog up and gave he a high five as he did so; now I had two of three that I needed to win!

"Kou!" Yosuke thought he knew my plan, smiling as Kou walked to join him. To really dell the effect, I cursed under my breathe.

"Mhmmmm..." Okay, so to let you in on just now, Em finally got over her cold. She was lined up like everyone else. "Em."

That was it... I had the three I needed. And Yosuke was still none the wiser. "Ai-chan." Ebihara was happy to join the team Kou was on. To be honest... she had gotten a lot nicer after the basketball game. Even apologized to Chie and eat lunch with us today.

"Yukiko-san." Yukiko looked confused as ever as she walked over to my team. The battle was going to be a brutal one... so anyway... we continued to pick team members until two people were left. "Who invited the 007 wanna-be!?"

I whisper that to Chie and shrugged at me. So I sighed and looked at a smaller girl next to Asshole number one. She was around Chie's height with shoulder length chestnut brown hair that she kept outta her face using a hair clip. Her eyes were brown as well. She had on the school uniform, but I could see shorts under the skirt that were white with so sort of design over them.

Of course all of the girls had spandex or shorts on for today. After all, everyone had agreed to a game... of... DODGEBALL! I love this game, still we had just enough people to make it a fair fight so I looked at the girl. "Hey! What's your name?"

"Me?" The girl pointed to herself bringing her dark blue arm warmers into view. I nodded at her. "Kyko Seno."

"Okay... Kyko, you're on my team." The girl quickly ran up to my team. My team was complete! Now we just had to wait for Yosuke to finish gathering up the dodgeballs that the school was letting us use. So I decided to use that time wisely. "Chie, Daisuke, Em... I have a plan!"

"Cool." Daisuke was smiling... Still, hey he was already having fun.

"You sure about this?" Chie looked just a little bit concerned for me; I guess I looked a bit too serious. Em just smiled at me... she already knew what the plan was. After all, it's how we won all of our dodgeball games.

"Calm down Chie!" Em pushed the turquoise part of her hair out of her face. "It's not like we made a bet against Yosuke. We just wanna play the game the way we always do."

"Okay..." Chie still didn't seem very convinced. Besides, there was one part that I left out of the conversation.

"Actually there was a bet." Everyone quickly looked at me. "The losing team buys the winning team Aiya's."

This made Chie's eyes grow wide. There was a chance for her to get Aiya's, now there wasn't much that would stop her. I already knew she was thinking of what to order. "Hey Daisuke?"

"Yeah dude?"

"Ever play goalie?" Daisuke just nodded at my question... well, this was going to be a hell of a lot easier for us. "Cool, your team mates are the goal today."

He nodded quickly and I turned to em and we fist bumped. We were ready now! We all line up against the wall as, well surprisingly, Mr. Kondo started to place the balls down at half court.

"Okay you all know the rules! If you get hit you're out. If someone catches the ball you threw, you're out and someone on the other team gets to come back in. If the ball hits the floor or wall then you, you are still in." Mr. Kondo stepped to the side of the court. "On your mark, get set..."

You wouldn't know it by looking at everyone on the court, but we were all friends getting ready to play a friendly game. Yet it looked like some of us were going to kill someone! Mostly me towards the wannabe spy. I really didn't like him if you couldn't tell yet. Anyway! So, we were all ready to run for the center. Anticipating the opponent moves, waiting for the- "DODGEBALL!"

Both sides made a mad dash for the center of court... except Ai, Yukiko, and me. Why didn't I run for it? Well... it was all part of the plan! There really wasn't much that I hoped would stop this plan. Everyone ran back to their team. "Em! Ball!"

I knew Em would grab at least two balls, giving her an extra. at which she threw at me. I looked for someone who was going to get cocky to hit with the ba-. A dodge ball zipped through the air and slammed right into shoulder. Knocking me off balance. "Bloody hell that was easy!" Oh go fucking figure that would happen. Em and Chie just stared at me for a second, hell everyone did... except Kyko... I noticed her as I started for the side lines, she threw the ball in her hand just as everyone started up again. Just as Kou went to throw a ball at Yukiko, Kyko's ball smacked him in the cheek... ow, but at the same time wow! Kyko had an arm. "Okay lass, you're out!"

Oh my fucking god he was calling peo- and Yukiko was out... God damnit. "Come Chie!" I started giving support as best as I could. Daisuke was Jame's next target, and of course as he wasn't paying attention Yosuke got him in the side. He ran up to me and shrugged. "Is fine dude, nice try... Em! You got this!"

"First line!" Mr. Kondo called the timer as Yosuke's team moved forward to attack, then just as they did, I noticed Yu walking to the sideline and Kyko doing a fist pump. Now I was impressed, the girl was a ninja. One of those people that you think needed help and then slit your enemies throats as you focused and the one you knew you could take.

"Ow!" I heard Ai yell out in a little bit of pain as she walked off to the side. "Nice throw whoever did that." Again... nicer! It was a miracle, still... game went on. James started from on one end of the court and started to run forward. He dodged one ball to the left, blocked another, dodged right and freaking jumped the last one to get one of the last people on my team in the face.

"Is this all you guys can do?"

"That's it... I'm pissed..." I curled my hands into fist as now the game was three, my team... to five, Yosuke's. Not that I really cared, but damn, I at least wanted that bastard to get out before we lost! "Come on Em! Chie! Kyko!"

"Second line!"

Yeah, this was so not what I thought was going to happen... a black haired girl on Yosuke's team threw a ball at Kyko, and... SHE CAUGHT IT! I moved fast, I ran onto the court and slid to a ball and blocked one ball, blocked another, a third. "Hey, Em!"

"Is it time?"

"Hell yeah!" Chie and Kyko looked confused as me and Em started to run at our opponents, Yosuke reeled back as me and Em passed by him, Em tossed her ball and it hit Yosuke's arm. I barely dodged a ball from James and got another guy on Yosuke's team. Em and me both stopped just short of the out of bounds line and did a 180 and ran back. The plan was almost done.

"Turquoise, got yeah!" Damned asshole slid in front of me, I almost fell on him, and he hit Em right in the stomach. Em just looked at him with his smugg smile.

"E-Em-senpai, are you okay?" I overhead Kyko call out in concern.

"Yeah, Chie, Kreed, Kyko..." Em walked off to the side lines. "Kick his ass!"

Nice save there , still the game continued. Only now, I wanted to kick some ass! Chie and me got ready to take out the last people on Yosuke's team. Which made things a little awkward when the moment we went to throw...

We both hit the last guy (besides James), who turned to us a yelled, "I'm already out you morons!"

Me and Chie both turned and looked at Kyko... damn she was good, it was almost scary how good she was at this game... She just gave us an innocent smile and the game continued... it was now three versus one. I smiled and slipped one headphone into my ear and played the i-pod.

A warning to the people, the good and the evil, this is war. To the soldier, the civilian, the martyr, the victim, this is war. It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie, the moment to live and the moment to die, the moment to fight, the moment to fight to fight, to fight, to fight!

Kyko moved over to the edge of the gym and waited for a chance to strike. James simply grabbed the nearest ball and tossed it in the air a bit. This was about to get interesting.

To the right, To the left we will fight to the death! To the edge of the earth it's a brave new world from the last to the first to the right, to the left we will fight to the death! to the edge of the earth it's a brave new world it's a brave new world!

Chie made the first move and threw the ball straight at James's face. He deflected it, Kyko threw her ball now. Once again... he deflected it!

A warning to the prophet, the liar, the honest, this is war. To the leader, the pariah, the victor, the messiah, this is war. It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie, the moment to live and the moment to die, the moment to fight, the moment to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight! To the right, To the left we will fight to the death! To the edge of the earth it's a brave new world From the last to the first.

James deflected her ball and threw one at Chie, which she easily dodged. Yet, the moment she stopped moving, a ball hit her leg... she was out! I was in shock!

To the right, To the left We will fight to the death! To the edge of the earth It's a brave new world It's a brave new world It's a brave new world! I do believe in the light Raise your hands into the sky The fight is done, the war is won Lift your hands toward the sun Toward the sun Toward the sun Toward the sun The war is won.

I just stood there as my girlfriend walked off the court sighing in defeat. I wasn't mad or anything, just amazed at what just happened, she was probably the most athletic person I knew! As I was lost in thought... I failed to notice another ball flying towards me, the moment I turned around... it was too late. To the right, To the left We will fight to the death! To the edge of the earth It's a brave new world From the last to the first.

Just before it hit me... Kyko jumped in the way and the ball hit her in the shoulder and landed on the ground next to her. "Ow..." Now I was completely taken off guard... I had never heard or seen that happening... Kyko just saved me from getting out... I quickly snapped out of it and charged at James. We both readied our weapons of choice.

To the right, To the left We will fight to the death! To the edge of the earth It's a brave new world It's a brave new world It's a brave new world! A brave new world The war is won The war is won A brave new world.

We were both mere inches away from each other and the balls flew through the air...

"I have never heard of a tie in dodgeball before!" Em was excited as the hole gang walked in the direction of Aiya's dinner. Yep, that's what happened... me and James hit each other at the same moment... and since everyone was getting hungry... we just decided to leave for food... though it seemed like only the members of the investigation team and Kyko wanted Aiya's this day. Meh... "That was so kickass!" Em jumped into the air as she did a fist pump with the excitement that she was feeling at that moment.

Yosuke smiled at Em's excitement. "So this is what the genius sister is really like? Who'd a thought?"

Em glared back at him, but her cheeks were a little red. "Oh, I don't know, maybe my foot up your ass!"

"You do act differently at school Em-senpai." Kyko spook up as she jogged up next to Em. She had a big smile on her face. "Though you're still kind to most people... I guess Yosuke-senpai is just annoying then."

"HEY!" I started to bust out laughing at this. Oh, that was beautiful! Yukiko also started up one of her laughing fits. After the laughter finally died down, Chie smiled a very devious smile!

"Hey, I have an idea!" We all looked at Chie as she started to sneak forward little by little. "Last one to Aiya's buys!"

Before anyone could even think of dismissing the claim, she shot forward like a bat outta hell! Everyone but Yu and me started to run. "You seem happy."

I looked back at Narukami. I had one of the biggest smiles ever on my face. "What gave it way...? I don't think I've ever been this happy, and I've made a decision... I wanna live... not for a job... or to please anyone... for me, I'm gonna live for me and the ones that I love!"

Yu smiled as he walked ahead of me. "So, your family, us, and more specifically... Chie."

I started to blush and Yu laughed... damn he was good at reading people. "Yeah..." That moment... light burst out from me and I could see my Persona... yet, somehow I noticed it start to change. the hair turned dark red and and spiked out from the back of its head to the front. it had two normal wooden arms instead of the one huge one... it held a white book in one hand and had a push pin sticking out of its chest. I heard its name resonate in my head. "Voodoo Doll..."

I looked back at Yu... and I smiled. "Damn that's gonna be useful!" and without a second thought... I ran past Yu. "Also... I'm not paying for Aiya's!"

I heard Yu laughed as he ran after me and I could have sworn he whispered something that sounded like... "Rank five huh?"

Sup! So... one, bet you guys didn't see that one coming! If you did... where did you hide the bug!? Anyway... all joking aside. Thanks to R4z0R for submitting Kyko. I hope you guys enjoyed and please send your feedback!
