Kankyo and Shizuka walked behind Soul and Black star listening to the two arguing on whose team was going to win. Shizuka was now dressed in blue jeans and a purple tank top with a black hoodie which she left unzipped. Kankyo walked next to her in a pair of light blue Basketball shorts with a Black tank top on.

"How do they know where we live?" Whispered Shizuka

"My guess would be Kid found it out for them."

"Great."

"Brightside we can use this to learn more about them."

Shizuka nodded then said "Ok. Better question. Why are you wearing a shirt when you're just going to take it off as soon as the game starts?"

"How can you joke at a time like this?" asked Kankyo trying his best impression of Shizuka's stern voice

"I must have picked it up somewhere?" She shugged

Kankyo chuckled in response, the fact that she was trying to crack a joke worried him. Shizuka had a dry sense of humor most of her jokes were well placed movie quotes in conversations or a sarcastic comment that she didn't intend to be funny. The fact that she was trying to crack a joke meant she was fall apart and she was trying to lighten the heavy mood they were both feeling. Kankyo felt bad that was usually his job but he was distracted by the fact that it was Shizuka who agreed to play this game with them.

They finally got to the court to hear the others discussing who would be captain and possible punishments. Some suggested Kid as team leader others said Suggested letting Kankyo or Shizuka be team leader. It was final decided that Black star was leader on one team and Soul the other. Now it was time to pick teams and punishments.

Shizuka leaned over to Kankyo "You thinking what I'm thinking?" she whispered

"That it's too hot to play with a shirt on, and that I'm all for you joining me on the "skins" team." Kankyo said with a grin.

"Worked hard on that one did you?" She replied with a smile. "No, the punishments are a good way to mess with Black star and Soul; something small that the others will agree too."

"How about Black star has to serve the other teams' every wish for a week." Offer up Kankyo with a side glance at Shizuka.

Shizuka had to shrug at his offer was a good idea a possible blow to his pride; she just wished they had time to plan with this. She was beginning wonder why she even agreed to go to this. It just came out but she could not think of a reason as to why. Some would say she subconsciously wanted to go. Others would say it was the fact she was asked to go somewhere by a couple of boys who she had to admit were cute, but neither were her type. She hated to admit it but her type was someone like Kankyo a joker, a flirt, an extrovert. She had crushed on many a boy like him; people over the years told them they would be cute together. The idea was just too odd she often thought of him as a brother but there was always someone who reminded her otherwise. The calling of her name snapped her out of her thoughts she was called to Soul's team. She had missed what his punishment would be but she didn't care she wanted Black star to lose anyway. Her team had Soul, Tsubaki, Kankyo and herself. Black stars team had Kid, Patty, Liz and Maka. The game was quick the final score was 7-6 Black star lost. Kankyo in excitement had picked up Shizuka and now parading her around the court.

"Put me down!" Shizuka shouted he had somehow lifted her onto his shoulders. She felt uneasy being this high in the air. Kankyo was already about 6'1" Being on his shoulder put her at about 5'8" off the ground. If you add her height it was higher than she liked with him running around and no real support.

"Come on I'm celebrating your winning shot!"

"Well you can do that with me firmly on the ground." She was done with this and was tempted to see if she could get down by jumping off. She probably could but not without hurting Kankyo. He finally knelt down so she could get off easily.

"Hey, would guys like to get some ice cream with us?" asked Soul

"Actually we have to go." Kankyo.
