Usual legal junk, all events are coincidential, all my idea yadda-yadda-yadda-blah-blah-blah, you know the drill. Chapter 3, comment and enjoy!

  • * * The journey down to the field went quickly as the couple walked hand in hand. "So how many people are gonna be there?" Chris asked. "Well most of the guys have work today so we usually get ten of us together for a five-a-side game, but Martin got sick on Friday and he's been home since so we had to find another guy." she suddenly pulled his arm around her shoulders and put hers around his waist. "That would be you." She finished now walking much closer to him. The two arrived at the hardcourt of the field, where various bits of equipment could be easily set up and taken down quickly for different games, Chris noticed that 2 humans and 6 furries were already warming up in an "every man for himself" game. As they drew nearer a Wolf noticed them and called out for the others to stop, "Hey guys! Sarahs here, and she brought Kayo!" the others all watched them approahing, Chris turned to look at Sarah. "Kayo?" he looked at her inquiringly. "Nickname." she said with a smile on her face. "They thought it would be funny because it sounds like KO, short for knockout." Chris groaned and put his head in his hand at the joke, Sarah only giggled as they finally got to the other players and made a quick round of introductions, Chris noted that the furries were a wolf, a bear, a horse, a tiger, a mare and what he had difficulty in recognising as an aardvark. After shaking hands (and paws, and hooves) with everyone and an exchange of names they turned back to the hardcourt. Sarah quickly examined the players. "Hmmm..." she mused, "Boys versus girls?" she asked looking at everyone. The others looked at each other for agreement and all of them generally nodded or said "Yeah, ok" The two teams broke off onto different sides of the court. Chris was pleased to see that he had got the Wolf, the Horse, one of the humans and the Bear on his side. Whereas looking over Sarah was joined by the Mare, the Aardvark, the other human and the Tiger. The two Horses stepped up to the centre of the court and Sarah threw the ball up between them. A few minutes after the game began, Chris noticed that while none of the players were professionals, all of them were very good, he had only had the ball for a few seconds at a time before being intercepted or just having it taken from him. Both of the teams worked well together and it wasn't long before both scores went up into double figures. The girls had just scored and the guys had taken advantage of thier celebrations to have a quick planning session. Mark (the Wolf) took the ball and walked up the side of the court with it, Mike the Horse walked in time with him up the centre and Chris walked up the other side of the court. Sarah met Mark half way looking to challenge him for the ball, he passed it right to Mike, the Mare and the human girl had marked Chris, instead of passing it over to him, Mark had whirled past Sarah and Mike passed the ball back to him. The 3 guys quickened the pace up the court and 3 of the girls converged on Mark and Mike, Mark, about to be boxed in by Sarah and the Mare and the Tiger threw the ball hard to the right, Mike, instead of catching it doubled back and the ball flew right into Chris's waiting hands, now with only one other player to worry about Chris bolted up the court, he side-stepped the Aardvark and leapt upwards, dunking the ball into the net. Multiple cries of "YES!" leapt up from the guys, and Chris made his way back down the court. Sarah picked up the ball and went on the offensive. About two hours later the teams took a break. "Whats the score?" Chris asked the team in general. "97-94" both Mark and the Bear replied in unison. "And how much longer of the game is left?" Mike spoke up. "It ends when we go home." "Seriously?" "Seriously" the team replied. The game got back into full swing. Mike passed the ball to Chris and he dashed up to the centre of the court, as soon as he crossed half court Sarah materialised out of nowhere, barring his path. Chris stopped, he had no one to pass the ball too as the other guys were still running up to him, he stepped left and right in an attempt to get passed but Sarah matched his moves. Just as he considered side-stepping left and dashing right, Sarah lunged, but not for the ball... Her team mates ran past them to mark the other guys who stopped to watch as Sarahs hand flew to the back of Chris's neck and pulled him into a deep kiss, Chris almost dropped the ball, but he felt it being pulled from his grip as Sarah pushed past him and pushed him behind her, she took off at a lightning speed and Chris turned around just in time to see her 3 point shot from just out side the area. The girls high fived each other as the guys simply fell back to thier half while muttering something about "underhanded tactics" as Sarah walked past Chris he felt a sudden but gentle pain on his ass. He looked back to see Sarah and the girls giggling. The game continued long into the day and afternoon, both teams were evenly matched. Equaling each others moves and neither side seeming to gain the upperhand, although some slightly unorthodox methods had been employed during the game. Distractions had been organised, animal abilities had been used, size and weight had come into play, at one point fire was breathed and a couple of tops came off. But both side's refused to give up. "Score!?" Mike called out to both sides. "Umm..." it was getting hard to keep count now but both sides agreed on guys 947 - girls 948. The Bear glanced down at his watch, "It's almost quarter to eight" he said. Sarah glanced over at Mike, "We've got about 5 minutes left. Next point wins?" both teams silently agreed as the unofficial match of the century was about to be decided. Both sides were breaking the rules now, in both offense and defence, Chris recieved the ball from Mike, with Mark and the Bear flanking him he charged up the court. However a large green blur tackled him to the floor and pinned him to the ground, causing his human team mate to pick up the ball and carry on in his stead. The rest of his team abandoned him as Chris looked up to see Sarah sitting on his stomach. "I think this definitly counts as breaking the rules" he looked up at her. "I know" she said smiling down at him "But somehow I get the impression that you don't actually care" she leant down and placed her head next to his "but if you really want I could get off of you and we could pick this up later..." she whispered into his ear and pulled back slightly gazing at him with a seductive smile. "ITS OVER!!!" Chris looked up past Sarah to see both teams congratulating each other in some way, one or two of them were looking back at them and laughing when one of the girls called out "Sarah! You and your boyfriend can do it later!" Sarah blushed and got up, offering her hand down to him and pulling him up. The couple walked home in the fading light, laughing and walking close to eachother. "Wait a second, who won the game?" Chris said suddenly. Both of them doubled up with laughter as the drawn out silence confirmed that neither of them knew. "I don't know" Sarah said, trying to stop herself from laughing, she stopped walking and pulled him around into an embrace as she wrapped her arms around his waist pulling the lower half of her body up against his. "But I do know whose going to be a winner tonight." she smiled up at him. Pulling one of her arms up and running a claw smoothly down his chest. Chris broke the embrace and put his arm around her shoulders. The two walked arm in arm back to thier homes, gazing into each others eyes. Both walked up the path to Chris's house as he closed the gate behind them, unlocking the front door and holding it open for her. The two stepped in and Chris closed the door behind them. * * * Sorry about it being really short again, if anyone can help me with this problem I would gladly appreciate any help and I may even name a character after you... Or a child ;) Hope you enjoyed, more coming soon!
