Abby nodded."and you will, i just know it-well if you ever have to fight him that is",she said geinning widely.

"I'll probably have to fight him no matter what." Xing said. "He'll make sure of it."

Abby smiled some."when you do, you'll win, we'll all be there for you",she said all happy like. Then got a seriously serious loook.'and dont try and not tell us ,i did that and it failed ... twice ... were going to be there for you no mader what"

"Eep! I will! I promise!" Xing said, inching away from the girl.

A few days later, Elliot was in her hotel room, getting ready for her date with Shiki. "Elliot..." Spire started.

Elliot didn't listen. She was looking for a dress...or at least something that looked less like a motorcycle mechanic and more like a girl on a date. No such luck. "AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!"

Abby giggeled as she watched Shiki running up and down the stairs as he was getting ready for his date with Elliot. She had gotten home a day ago, and had been foruced to sit a relax,but with Shiki going out, and her being able to sneak away easily form Xing,she was palining on going out back, and practiceing.

Xing came down the stairs, tapping something on his phone, only to nearly get run over by Shiki going the other way. "Yeow! What's got him hyper? Too much coffee?"

Abby laughed."no, todays his date with Eliot , he's never had one",she said calmly.She was in her P.J.'s. Wanting to be conffy. "so whats your plans for today Xing?",she asked streaching a little.

Shiki paused as he went up the stairs."Remember Abby, your under orders to take it easy!",he said as he ran back up the stairs.

"Ehhh....nothing really." Xing said. "I haven't gotten word of my next battle, yet. So I've just been catching up on homework."

Abby gave a small smile."Sounds like fun",she said and streached a little.

"Oh yeah. Loads." Xing said, once again dodging Shiki. "I completely forgot about my history paper!"

Abby laughed a little."how nice",she said looking outside."its nice out"

"Yeah..." Xing said. "And I'm stuck doing homework...."

Abby looked to him."you could take a brake and come outside",she saudgested as Shiki ran by looking for his pants.-he's wearing boxers-

Xing snorted in laughter. "Shiki...try looking in your closet." He said, snickering.

Shiki looked to them."I looked there!",he said in a panic.

Abby smiled."try the laudry basket, i did a bunch of loads the other day... so its all clean"

Shiki nodded and took off back up the stairs.

Once Shiki was upstairs, Xing burst out laughing. "Hah! He's worse than a kid lost in the high school!"

Abby laughed a little and gave a nod."yeah ,he is"

"Want to bet on how long it'll take before he tracks down his pants?" Xing asked.

Abby smirked."sure but what kind of bet"

"If I win, you follow doctor's orders." Xing said. "If you win...you get to ignore me any time you want."

Abbby laughed."but i dont like ignoreing you",she said but shrugged."alright then I say.... less then Ten minites..."

"Hm...I say more than thirty minutes, just to give him a chance." Xing said.

Yukina smiled and held out hr hand."then its a bet we have"

Xing shook it. "Bet." He said.

Abby laughed a little."right"
