Jet clenched his fist as flames appeared around him in a circle, burning a pentagram symbol in the football turf. Shadow just smirked. It was demon against demon. Shadow shot off like a bullet and went straight for Jet's throat. The hawk dodged the vampire and summoned a flaming sword in his hands. He came back with a stab at the vampire that Shadow just dodged in the nick of time.

"Oh a sword then?" Shadow taunted. "Well I have something better!" He quickly transformed into an entire colony of bats and flew around the demon hawk in an effort to confuse him.

Jet spun around slashing his sword at the bats, missing them by a hair.

"AUGHHH!" Jet screeched and slashed one more time at the bats. This time he managed to hit some and they stopped flying around him.

"AH!" Shadow changed back to his hedgehog form and examined his arm. There was a deep cut in it and it was bleeding out. "Why you little!" He pounced at Jet and turned into a wolf. Jet's sword got knocked out of his hands and landed far away on the field. Shadow growled and tried to bite at the hawk's head but Jet protected himself by holding up his arms shielding his face. Shadow bit down on Jet's forearms. Jet screamed and managed to kick the wolf off of him and he scrambled to get up. He punched Shadow wolf sending him down to the ground. The wolf changed back.

"Is that all you got?" Shadow asked while trying to catch his breath.

The crowd around them had gotten bigger and they were chanting "fight! Fight!" over and over again.

Jet's forearms were bleeding from Shadow wolf's bite and he was still dizzy from trying to fight off the bats but he didn't want to give up. Shadow threw a punch at him but the hawk managed to dodge it and getting in a swift kick to Shadow's legs, sending him to the ground.

Shadow started spitting out some of his own blood. "You're better than I thought you were." He got up and breathed. "But I'm not done yet!" He zipped to the hawk, caught him by the head and pinned his arms against his back. "I didn't want to have to do this but…" Shadow moved Jet's head to expose his neck. Jet struggled but Shadow was stronger than he was. The black and red hedgehog's fangs elongated and he inched towards the hawk's neck flesh. Jet quickly went to his last resort. He pulled back his leg and kicked him right in the groin. Shadow felt it and released the hawk. He staggered backwards and fell on the ground in pain.

"YOU CHEAP ASS!" He yelled at Jet who got up off the ground in a hurry. "YOU MOTHERFUCKING CHEAP ASS!"

The crowd around them stopped cheering and started to complain.

"What a letdown."

"I can't believe I skipped class for this."

"Crotch kick? What are we, in Middle School?"

The crowd quickly disbanded and the coach came running outside in the mud.

"What is going on here?!" Coach Bernard looked at the scene. Shadow was on the ground crying in pain and jet was trying to stop his life flashing before his eyes.

"Coach! It's not what you think!" Jet shouted.

"There was a fight here! Wasn't there?!" The coach saw their wounds. "Both of you! To the nurse and then the office!"

Coach Bernard helped Shadow up off the ground and walked them both to the nurse. After they had been treated they both were sent to Principal Griffith's office.

The golden griffin shook his head. The two sat in chairs facing his desk. "Shadow I'm not surprised you're here but I am surprised to see one of the new students here. The coach told me that you two were in a fight."

The two pointed at each other. "He started it!"

"You both are guilty." The griffin replied to them. "Now we're going to have to call your parents and then after that instead of suspension because Shadow can't miss any more days, you two will have to help the student council with the dance."

"WHAT?!" Both boys exclaimed. Shadow got up out of his chair. "There's no way I'm helping with the dance, I don't even want to go!"

"Yeah! I don't want to go either!" Jet joined in.

"It will be a good thing for you two to help out the school instead of tarnishing it. You will start tomorrow."

Shadow sat on the brick wall out in the front of the school outside. "My mom is going to stake me."

"This is all your fault!" Jet yelled at him as he walked over towards him. "I could just deal with suspension but you just HAVE to get in trouble too much and now I have to waste my time with that stupid dance!"

Shadow jumped off the wall. "Hey! I'm stuck with the dance too. And my mom is going to be so pissed when she finds out I fucked up again!"

"Chill out!" Sonic appeared in the doorway outside. "It's not that bad of a punishment."

"Did you just hear what I said?" Shadow asked.

"Shadow, your mom should be used to you messing up by now." Sonic pulled up his wolf backpack. "Hey did you guys see my backpack?" He asked.

"I don't care about your stupid backpack. This sucks! First Kris won't talk to me then this!" Shadow stomped on the ground in frustration.

"Shadow, will you just cooperate and pull through with it? It isn't that bad." Sonic repeated himself. "And I'm sure Kris will talk to you eventually, just wait until she isn't mad at you anymore."

"How am I supposed to know that?"

"I dunno."

"…"

"Hey, I have to get going." Jet said finally. "I have to meet Wave and Storm at the skate park.

"Oh I'm going to the skate park too." Sonic replied. "I'll do my homework later, if anyone sees Tails tell him I've already done it."

Jet nodded and got on his skateboard. "You'll be impressed with my moves."

Sonic smirked. "Oh really? Race ya there." He started to run after him. "Bye Shadow! See you on Monday!"

"Uh huh…" Shadow was busy looking on his phone to really say goodbye, but he didn't really care. He didn't want to go home and get yelled at just yet.

"Hey Kris, can I talk to you?" Amy walked beside Kris on her way home. "Are you still mad at Shadow? Because I think he really wants you to talk to him."

"Well, I am still, a little. But he shouldn't have just said those things about me out loud." Kris replied. She morphed into her snow leopard form.

The pink vampire shook her head. "I know but I talked to him and he's really sorry he did."

"Then why did he tell you and not me?"

Amy changed her voice to a whisper. "I think it may have something to do with Ky being around you when he tries to."

"Like he's afraid or something?" The ghost asked.

"Maybe."

"Oh."

"He'll have to catch you when he's not around."

"Hey girls, what are you talking about?" Ky appeared behind them and ruffled their hair

"Nothing." Kris answered. "Stop it."

"It certainly sounds like something."

Amy gave him a look. "We were talking about how Shadow is sorry for what he did."

Ky frowned.

"Ky you can't be babysitting me all of my death. Let me talk to him." Kris demanded.

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I don't like him."

"Who cares if you don't like him? I do and he's my boyfriend!"

"You're too young for a boyfriend!"

"Ky, don't let your stupid childish beef with him ruin my unlife!" The ghost pushed the male vampire and started to run home.

"Kris!" Ky called after her but she didn't respond. He sighed.

"I agree, your beef with him is childish. You need to grow up." Amy changed into her bat form and flew home, leaving Ky alone with himself.

"Maybe I do…"
