IB IS HELL…ENOUGH SAID

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

START OF DAY 3-

"You have been practicing! I knew it!" Joshua called out in a matter of fact way on the floor of the Wildkat.

"Maybe?" Neku said beating Joshua in another round of Tin Pin slammer.

"What's the point of this game again?" Shiki asked in a bubbly sort of manner.

"It's a battle of souls" Neku said getting up, reciting the mantra he picked up the second to last game he was in with Josh.

"Oh OK" Shiki added as if she knew what the hell they where talking about.

"Hey it is a nice day…" Beat said looking out. "No mission either who says we just like walk?"

"I'm in…" Rhyme said smiling. They had been stuck inside for what seemed about three days now, why not take a little break?

"We'll stay…" Mr. H and Joshua said congruently. They probably had some big important 'Angel' stuff to take care of probably…Or most likely there to cure their bruised egos.

"You alight with going?" Shiki asked Neku, getting a simple shrug as a response.

"Okay we's off!" Beat called out waving, his sister following behind.

"We'll go by ourselves" Shiki spoke clinging to Neku's arm leading him out. Neku could only just stare at the sudden jump Shiki had in her step.

Who has a jump in their step after having their best friend killed only days ago?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

/He must like Shiki more! / Shiki thought clinging to Neku's arm.

/Why am I thinking in third person? Well…he must have loved me…but look at me…I am in the body Neku fell in love with right? / She asked herself softly.

/Yah…I am aren't I? What if he only finds this body sexy…and thus likes Eri and…damnit Eri…why even in this! / She kept thinking when Neku came to an abrupt stop.

"Something the matter?"

"Hey it's the kid with the headphones!" the obviously no longer in fifth grade shooter pointed out. He had retained his boyish look, but was taller by at least half a foot.

How much a few months made?

He was at that moment with the kid named Yammer who used the mod pins, and a coupe of others playing Tin Pin. "How's the rookie of the year?"

Neku coughed a little more or less embarrassed, Shiki could only let out a very nervous giggle.

"Neku you never told me you talked to little-"

"It's a long story Shiki…"

Shooter laughed. "Nah its cool Phones is a really cool guy…hey that your girlfriend phones…you cootie insured?"

"Cootie insured? Neku how old are these kids?"

Neku just stood like a statue slowly growing darker red by the minute.

"I would say…fifth grade?"

"Sixth…" Shooter added with a hint of scoff.

Shiki's giggle turned into laughter.

"Ugh"

"Sorry took your honor dude I can give it back to you if you play me with your souls!" he called out.

"You have more than one soul?" Shiki asked staring up in thought.

"Hell yah!" Shooter exclaimed holding out Red Kaiser. "The strongest soul wins!"

"He means pins…" Neku shrugged

"Oh…I am still confused"

"Just watch…" Neku said getting down on the floor whilst Shooter squatted as well.

"Wait is this that game you and Joshua where playing?"

"Yep…Tin Pin Slammer…"

"Oh right the thing they keep advertising" She spoke with a hint of nostalgia with her voice…which further increased her jealousy.

/Why the hell does any important moment with us happen with me in Shiki's body!?/

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So now in the short period of time they had, Shooter and Neku decided for the Hell of it play a few dozen rounds of Tin Pin slammer.

It truly was an addicting game. During it Shiki served as both a good luck charm and as well a pupil of Neku who taught her the ropes whilst he played.

Still not understanding it at all, Shiki only nodded when she needed to.

She would really never understand these things.

"Hey Neku can we go…I dunno shopping?"

"In a bit…" he spoke standing up in the middle of a match.

"Uhh fine…" she said looking away

/Maybe he does like my old body? /

"I won!" Neku called out smiling kissing Shiki for good luck.

/Or not…/

So once again, Shiki had begun feeling jealous of her own body. /Maybe this is…nah it couldn't be? No one else seemed to have an entry fee…the rules are changed…/

"Right?" she asked out loud, causing stared to float around the group of boys to her.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"No mission…I wonder why" Neku said under his breath as he looked at the phone. Then and there…it rang. "Watch out…you got a yoctosecond!"

"Yocto…sec-?"

Just like that a few noise where smashing through destroying any players in their path, a great siege of Woolys.

"Oh that…"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So battle positions where set and Neku and Shiki prepared for the worst. Shooter and Yammy where prepared as well to fight off the oncoming bull rush…

…soon enough the rush came to them. They started to fight but this was a planned attack…it was one of those moments where you felt your time was done yet you had a chance, almost like a real game.

But then a noise came from behind them. "RAPHAEL!" called the voice and the noise where struck down by a bright light.

"Gotta be more careful" Mr. H said with a sly smile to the kids.

"So that's it?" Neku said with a blink to the Mission Complete sign on his phone.

"Guessing so" Shiki said returning to Neku's arm. She had to prove his loyalty one way or another.

"A few more days to go then…" Joshua said with a smirk behind mr. H.

"So where's the delinquent twins?"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Fuck…" Was the only word out of Sho's mouth. Fucking Angels…what where they doing in the game?

End of Day 3
