(Just so you know, shadow movement is when a person using shadow road leaves a number of images from high speed moving.)

Ch. 2: What are you?

"I'm tired of waiting! Where the hell is your boyfriend Ringo?!" shouted Mikan in her obvious impatience.

"He is not my boyfriend!" shouted Ringo as she blushed.

"Her face says otherwise," said Ume standing with a doll in her arm.

"He'd better hurry up. I'm tired of waiting," said Ikki to Kazu.

"Ditto," he said lightly. All of a sudden in a far off view, a figure could be seen hopping the buildings.

"That's him!" said Ringo. *I was afraid you wouldn't come,* she said in her mind. Soken then jumped to the ground and in one leap, he jumped over the tower at which they were meeting and landed lightly in the presence of the other AT riders. Ringo's face turned red.

"Sorry for being so late. I had to get my AT's tuned," he said wiping off his pants. "Okay. Follow me, but don't go overboard with your speed. I'm sure you guys are faster than me," he said modestly.

"So you are Ringo's new boyfriend!" laughed Mikan and Ume.

"Shut up Mikan!" yelled a blushing Ringo. Soken put his hood over his head. "Can we get going now?" asked Ringo.

"Ok! Follow me!" Soken hops off and skates moderately towards the lake. Ikki, Ume, Mikan, Ringo, Kazu, Akito, and Buccha proceeded to follow him.

_

"All right!" said Soken as they arrived at the lake where multiple pillars suddenly spouted from the lake. "This will be a B class parts war to avoid excessive pain. If you don't know, that's disc. It will be 4 on 4 including Ringo, Mikan, Ume, and I versus the rest of you. Sound good?"

"Sounds good to me," said Ikki.

"Why would I waste my time doing stupid shit like this?!" said a forceful Agito.

"Stop whining Agito!" yelled Ikki. "It's not like it'll kill you!"

"Whatever. You idiots aren't shit without me anyway."

"I think we are ready," said Kazu with a sweat mark on the back of his head.

"The runners will be Agito and I so we can have some fun," said Soken. "The points will be the only different colored pillars on each side." He sets the disc down on the middle pillar.

"Uh, Soken?" said Buccha

"What?"

"Where is the other pole for you guys if ours is right here?"

"Over there," he said pointing to the middle tower.

"You're a dumb ass, but it is your loss," said a chuckling Agito.

"You're out of your mind kid!" yelled Mikan. "There's no way you can get up there that fast!"

"I can, and I will," said Soken confidently. "Okay. Ready?" Soken jumps back. "No more words period. Talking will cost a point. Start." Every body rushed for the disc no sooner did the word leave his lips. Soken, however, didn't move. Luckily for Agito, Ikki slipped out with the disc.

Mikan growled seeing that Soken wasn't doing anything to Stop Ikki or reach for the disc.

Ikki had Ringo right on his tail and quickly tossed it to Agito. At that moment, Soken's eyes opened and he himself disappeared.

Agito chuckled as he rushed to his team's point pillar with no one in his way. *What the hell is that kid doing?* thought Mikan. *We're doomed,* thought Ume. *Come on, Soken,* thought Ringo.

Then as if out of nowhere, Agito touched the pillar with his hand instead of the disc. *What the fuck!!??!!* thought Agito. Soken could then be seen jumping the buildings and heading for the tower while every body stood in place with awe.

"That's one," said Soken coolly. He looked over at a particular building and saw someone watching the parts war from atop it. It was a girl with strawberry blonde hair. Sitting with a studious expression on her face.

*She'd better be paying close attention to this one,* he thought. He jumps down with the disc and tosses it atop the middle pillar once more. "I know you guys can do better. Don't hold back at all. Treat this like a life-threatening parts war."

Agito growls angrily as he ties his hooks onto his legs. "I'll make you wish you hadn't said that bitch!" he yelled.

Another girl with plain blonde hair was seen sitting atop a tree gazing at Agito. "I love it when he gets pissed!" she said to herself watching him.

"Start." Once again, the dive for the disc began but the disc sunk through the ground before it could be retrieved by any one. Ringo looked to see that Soken had pulled it from under the ground through the shadows.

Ringo, being the first to see him with the disc ran for the tower. Soken tossed the disc to her while Mikan and Ume occupied Ikki and Kazu. Ringo started hopping buildings when Buccha jumped up from between the building and was ready to hit Ringo full force to respect Soken's request, but before the punch came down, Soken used shadow movement to not only retrieve Ringo before contact, but he hopped lightly off of Buccha's head. Ringo began to blush in Soken's arms.

Agito then appeared with his wildly spinning fangs and a bloodlust ablaze.

"Get him Agito," said the blonde female quietly.

"Teach him a lesson teacher," said the strawberry blonde one.

Soken whispered something in Ringo's ear. Her eyes opened wide as she nodded.

"No talking, BITCH!!!" screamed Agito in his lustful state. At that moment, Agito saw what he saw the day before. Reaper's image shadowed by Agito as his hooks fell apart.

"What the fuck?!" said Agito as Soken disappeared with Ringo in his arms.

The strawberry blonde stood wiping herself off. "Guess it's time to go," she said shadowing away.

"Where'd they go?" asked Ikki.

"Who knows," said Mikan. "We have no choice but to wait and hope something bad doesn't happen."
