Joining the Game

*}*Ariana and Christian*{*
Ariana laughed quietly when the tattooed girl and the demon she called “E-kun” wound up having an accidental kiss and stumbled off the mat embarrassed. “Somebody else’s turn!” the girl said her face red as an apple.

A slow smile made her way over Ariana’s face, “I will go next.” she handed her package to Christian and strode over to one side of the mat putting her straight dark purple hair that went to the end of her back into a high ponytail.

She worried about her curse often when the lights were out; let her have some much-needed fun, Christian thought smiling at his mistress.

“I’ll play too!” A new arrival said eagerly racing to the side opposite Ariana. Looking at him when he got there, she saw that it was a teenage boy with short spiked black hair and light blue eyes. Her dark honey gold eyes drifted to his right hand, where several rings shaped like different animals adorned his fingers. He’s a summoner.

“Alright then,” Ohno said with a laugh, “let’s get started.” He spun the spinner Christian had given him and called out: “Left leg, green!” Both legs inched forward to follow the spinner’s command.

A few minutes later, Christian’s eyes were twinkling as he chuckled at the comical scene on the mat. The teenage boy had his right leg bent, both arms twisted, and his left leg splayed. Meanwhile Ariana was doing a nice bridge below the boy, having decided it would be best not to twist. They looked like a mutilated T.

“Right hand blue,” Ariana’s hand slid over to the blue spot that was one spot over and kept the bridge up. The boy’s hand went under the young priestess and rested on a blue place under her back. Christian chuckled even more when that happened.

“I swear if we end up falling on each other…” a light blush dusted Ariana’s cheeks as she glanced over with a slight glare at her laughing demon butler.

“Don’t worry!” the light blue eyed boy said enthusiastically. “I’m sure we won’t.”

Ariana’s left hand went under his neck to a red spot, “You say that and yet we’re starting to be tangled up.” The boy’s body quivered as he laughed, infectious giggle making her join in, albeit more softly. Even if that happens, this is pretty fun, she thought with a grin.

4 spins later they were indeed tangled up together. “Isn’t this fun?” the black haired boy said with his head next to Ariana’s.

“Hilarious,” she said. She could almost see Christian’s mischievous smile.

“Right leg, yellow!” Ohno called laughingly. Their legs both crossed each other; Ariana’s body started wavering.

“Uh oh,” she said eyes wide watching her arms shake and shiver.

The boy grinned once more as his body shook as well. “Oh no!” he said dramatically, “We’re going down!” He drew out the last word as they both collapsed on the mat laughing. “Heh-heh, that was fun,” light blue eyes grinned at Ariana as he picked himself up and offered his hand.

Should I? What if he’s able to sense it? Her laugh froze for a moment as she thought about it. I should be polite…wait; he’s a summoner not an empath. But, it’s not related to any of those things; it’s altogether different. Ariana took his hand and was quickly pulled to her feet, pulling her hand away just as fast.

“Good game,” she managed a smile at the boy before rejoining Christian who offered her a seat. Sitting down she reflected on the game she had just played. That was fun, she smiled sadly, it almost makes you forget you have a curse.

“Who’s next?” Ohno said to the people with an inviting smile.
