//lol. You really know how to read my characters. The word that I think of when talking about Kira is 'tomboy'. // Kira ran after him and stopped in front of the soccer net. This was a minor setback. She stayed where she was, thinking. After a few seconds, she smiled and stepped into the net. If John moved, she could easily get out and follow him. But before he had time to do that, she bent down and lifted the bottom of the net all in one motion. Normally it would have taken her a little longer, but you can't blame her for 'accidentally' using some levitating magic. It was above her head in less than two seconds and she ran at John, dropping it behind her. Nat looked at Becca. "Sure...tag's not really my favorite game anyway," he said. He jogged over toward Kira and John just in time to see Kira lift the goal impossibly fast. "Kira never stops amazing me..." He muttered, mostly to himself but loud enough for Becca to hear.

“Please, she uses magic that she can’t control…I don’t see that as amazement…really more of carelessness.” Becca said looking at the same scene. She wasn’t trying to sound snooty or anything but their mother had told them countless times to not use their magic, and while once in awhile by accident it would be expectable…it seemed as if no one listened to the rules and she knew one day there mom would yell at them for it.
As she was lifting the net John had already taken off to the right heading towards his siblings at full speed quickly pushing himself to his fullest potential as he crashed through his siblings, not letting it affect him, though he mused that he probably could have gone around…crashing in between Becca and Noah was so much fun…unfortunately…Becca had stumbled and almost fallen to the ground and at the moment wanted to throttle John.

Nat shrugged. "Yeah, but she controlled it enough to not injure anyone..." Yet.
Kira veered to her left, John's right, and followed. She was about five steps behind him when he crashed through Nat and Becca. Kira smiled to herself and decided that it would be appropriate to use magic to stop herself from running into Nat and Becca. After all, Mum always told them not to hurt each other. Kira jumped. Nat saw it coming and ducked, although he hadn't needed to. Kira flew about four feet into the air and landed on top of John, tackling him. "HA! You're it! No tag backs," Kira said, getting off her brother and brushing herself off. She had a few stains on the knees of her pants, but other than that, she looked OK.
"Er...guys...how about we play two-on-two soccer?" Nathaniel said, approaching Kira and John. "WHAT? I just tagged him!" Kira said disappointedly.

“And even still I wouldn’t be it! You used magic and mom said no magic!” John said crossing his arms and sticking his tongue out at Kira, “So NAHHH.” He said as he blew a raspberry at her. Becca hid back a giggle and a smile and stepped in between John and Kira so Kira would not kill John, “So, how about it? Soccer?” She asked and John considered for a second and nodded. “Who would be on whose team? And who would be ref?” John asked and Becca looked at Noah, they had not talked about that yet.

"Why you little..." Kira said, taking a step toward John. Nat grabbed her arm with one hand and covered her mouth with the other. He pulled her away from John and said, "Er...boys vs. girls? Or me and Kira vs. you two...anything works. And do we really need a ref? We could ask Uncle Jake...no, he's probably still not trusted to be alone with us after Mum found out about him teaching magic...so...I don't know." All this time he was holding Kira back to keep her from pummeling her other brother.
//LOL! This reminds me of HH...Danny M. was holding Andy and (Paige? I think it was...it might have been Kathleen, but I don't think so) to keep them from destroying Smee.//

//Yeah, it was Paige cause Kathleen never met Smee, I just knew the guy ooc.//
“Let’s go boys vs. girls.” Becca said as John had backed up to stay away from Kira, “And rule #1 is not un-necessary roughness or the other team automatically wins!” John said and Becca laughed but nodded, as Kira did not need to kill John. “And yeah…that sucks but it’s your fault. If YOU hadn’t gotten caught you wouldn’t have gotten in trouble.” Becca said with a small giggle as she spoke to Noah about the fact that Uncle Jake was not allowed to be alone with them. “I bet your going to loose your quidditch lessons too.” Becca added with a cheeky grin. “But yeah, we don’t need a ref…just don’t be rough and no killing siblings and someone needs to go ask mom and dad for a ball…” Becca said counting the things out on her fingers.

"I nominate Kira!" Nat said immediately, pushing her toward their parents. Kira stopped for a second, turned, but then walked off toward Kat and Brent, brushing herself off and grumbling. Nat heaved a sigh of relief and looked back at John and Becca. "OK, boys vs. girls. And it's not my fault I got caught...OK, maybe a little...but I wasn't the one that screamed!" He protested.
Brent looked at Kat as he saw Kira walking toward them. "Complaint, apologize in advance, or need something?" He muttered to Kat. "I'm going with the middle..." he added.

“I bet they need something to play.” Kat said with a small chuckle, “We didn’t bring anything for them and you know that Nathaniel doesn’t like tag that much.” She said, “And for this bet, if I’m right then you spend 2 nights out on the couch, if you are right you don’t have to spend any nights out on the couch.” She said with a smirk.
“Ok, Kira screamed as did John…but John had a reason. John got hurt and you weren’t checking to see what happened when you cast the spell so it is your fault!” Becca said with a laugh and an “I know EVERYTHING” look. John snorted, “Please get the queen look off your face….you look like a constipated donkey.” John said and Becca glared and made to smack him.

Nathaniel caught Becca's hand in the air, hesitated, and let go. "Meh, go ahead. He can fend for himself..." He said, taking a step back from them, shrugging.
Brent thought for a second and then said, "Deal." He watched Kira walk up to them, looking mad. Dang, it was probably the first one. Oh well, neither of us win. She looked at Kat. "Mum, can we have a soccer ball?" She asked. Brent swore under his breath, not looking at Kat, knowing she would have that smug smile on her face.

“Of course dear.” Kat said with a smile as she conjured up a soccer ball and handed it to Kira. “But please, no hitting any of your siblings in the face.” She added with a small chuckle.
Becca made a swing for John but he ducked…sadly Becca didn’t give him that easily so when he ducked Becca tried to knee him…and she hit his balls and his mouth giving him a bloody lip and causing him to fall to the ground, out of breath and bleeding from the lip. “Never, EVER call me a constipated donkey.” Becca said as she shook her hair out of her face. John tried to say something but all that came out was a small squeak.

Kira accepted the ball and kicked it back to where her siblings were. She gave it a final hard kick. The ball flew into the air and started to come down...right at John.
Nathaniel watched as Becca attacked their brother. He blinked, eyes widening. "Sheesh...violent sister..." He muttered, hoping Becca didn't hear him. He saw the ball coming down and leaped forward, hitting it with his arm and deflecting it at the ground. "Two violent sisters..." He added, hoping to Merlin that neither of them heard him.

“I didn’t TRY! I tried to KICK him in the shin, but he was too close so it didn’t work properly and then he ducked into my knee which was coming up to kick him!” Becca protested as John still lay on the ground and look of pure pain on his face. Becca crossed her arms and glared at Noah, “Be glad Kira didn’t here you or she’d do the same thing to you!” She added and stuck her tongue out at Noah. John gave a small groan that sounded like, “Mom.” In addition, Becca sighed, “He can’t play soccer right now…I don’t even know if he could walk to mom.” She said looking at him. He was on the ground, hands in between his legs with his mouth gushing blood because he had split his lip in two places. “I didn’t try.” Becca said again looking at her brother, “Should I go get mom and dad?” She asked.

Nathaniel looked frozen by the thought of deciding what course of action to take. "Um....I...guess..." He muttered, looking at Kira for suggestions. Kira thought for a second, "Yeah, take him to them. OOH! Can I levitate him?!" She asked excitedly. "NO!" Nat said forcefully, startling Kira enough to make her step back. "No, bad idea...even I don't trust you enough to get him all the way over there...uninjured." "He's all ready injured," Kira pointed out. "Any MORE injured..." Nat said, rolling his eyes.

“We don’t need to have half his body levitate while the other half stays on the ground. Besides! Mom said NO magic!” Becca said, “I’ll go get mom and dad…Kira…make sure Nathaniel doesn’t do anything stupid.” She said before running off towards her parents at full speed. It wasn’t long before they came into view and she slowed her sprint down to a run.
Kat was watching the playground and gave a small sigh with Becca came running towards them, “Something happened…there is no way they could need something else this soon.” She muttered.

Brent saw his chance to get off the couch for the next two days. "Do you think she hurt someone, Kira hurt someone, Noah hurt someone, John hurt someone, or someone else did?" He asked. "I'm going with Kira...she can play pretty rough..."
Jake shook his head. "Becca," he said simply, not taking his eyes from the ground. He seemed to know more about the kids than Brent did, although Kat saw HIM as the irresponsible one...rightfully, but still...

“The guilty party is always the one to come to the parents.” Kat said agreeing with Jake with a smirk as Becca stopped in front of them. She opened her mouth to say something and then closed it before looking at the ground and having her shoes play in the dirt. “We were gonna play soccer…and John called me a name…and I was gonna get back at him…but he ducked…so I was gonna kick him in the shin…and he was too close…and he’s bleeding.” Becca said still looking at the ground, the sound of tears in her voice. Had she looked up both of her parents would have seen her eyes filled with tears. Kat sighed, “Is he on the soccer field?” She asked calmly and Becca gave a nod.

"Me do something stupid?" Nathaniel asked indignantly, but Becca was all ready too far away. Kira sent him a smug smile and took a step toward him. Nat backed away, circling around John and looking impatiently for Becca and their parents.
Brent swore under his breath and sent Jake a glare, only because there was no one else to glare at. If he had glared at Kat...he could kiss the bed good bye for a month.

“He needs help mommy and daddy.” Becca said still not looking at her parents. Kat gave a small smile and picked Becca up, “Come on Brent…if what I think has happen John will be a bit more comfortable talking to you about it.” Kat said with a slight chuckle as Becca buried her head in her mothers shoulder. Kat began walking towards the soccer field, but because it was large she wasn’t quiet sure where the kids would be.

Brent blinked twice and followed, looking back at Jake with a look that clearly said, Never mind, you can be near our children. Help! But Jake didn't notice, as he was still looking at the ground, the picture of a chastised child uncle.
Kira lunged for Nathaniel, and he ducked away, running toward where Becca had gone. He looked behind him for Kira. She was gone. He turned to face forward and suddenly there she was. With a small yelp, he turned to the left and...ran straight into a swing. This would have only been a minor setback, had he noticed. But, he didn't. He continued running and suddenly he was up in the air, swinging his legs wildly. "Woah!" He yelled, and flew off the other end of the swing, landing on the ground and rolling a somersault, then coming to a halt on his back. Kira wasn't there anymore, she had gone back to John before she saw him run up the swing. Silent tears appeared in the corner of Nat's eyes, but he wiped them away and sat up slowly.

Kat looked around and spotted Kira and John who was still on the ground and it was evident he had cried a tiny bit, but had stopped by now. Once she got close, she put Becca down who simply sat down and tried to dry her own eyes. Kat walked over and kneeled next to John, “Honey what happened?” She asked but John just shook his head and Kat looked up at Kira, “What happened?” She asked looking at Kira cuing her to explain before looking at John and taking out her wand to fix up his lip.

KIra seemed all too eager to share the story. "Well, John called Becca a constipated donkey and she kneed him in a not-so-nice place and in the mouth, and then he fell down and Becca went to get you and I ran after Nat and...wait...where is he?" She suddenly wondered, looking around. She saw him sitting up next to the swings with what looked like red Kool-Aid on his face and leg,, but wasn't... "Oh...um...mommy?" Kira asked in her best 'innocent-and-trying--not-to-get-grounded' voice. "I think Noah might need you a little more than John..." She said simply, pointing at her brother.
By this time, Nat had started crying again, despite his attempts not to. He had laid back down involuntarily. His face was cut up from some stray wood chips that had been in the sand, he had sand in his eye, the wind was knocked out of him, and he couldn't even consider the idea of trying to stand up to get help, as his right leg was twisted at an odd angle underneath him.
//Ugh. This brings back a really bad memory. I was like 7 and at an after school thing, and this kid was on a teeter totter or whatever they're called, and two high school kids jumped on the other end, and he went flying off of it. When I saw him, it literally looked like someone had gotten a few gallons of red Kool-Aid and dunked it on him. I will never forget that one picture...//

“I’ll be right there sweetie.” Kat said as she was already half way through the spell to stop the blood and stitch up the lip, and once she cleaned it up, she fixed the broken nose he had gotten. She sighed and then looked at Noah and closed her eyes for a second before opening them and then running over, “Noah…” She whispered taking quick work of what had happened to him. Quickly she straightened his leg, put it in a brace, and cleaned the blood off his face and the cuts. She did not know how to mend bones, as she had become an Unspeakable instead of a healer like she had originally planned. “Honey, can you move at all?” She asked.

Noah shook his head, still crying softly. "Just my head..." He said through the tears. By now, Kira had come over and looked at her brother. "Merlin, Noah, what did you DO?" She asked, eyes wide. She hadn't seen him as well from where John had been, and now saw the full extent of the injuries. Noah didn't answer. Brent went over to John, not yet aware of Noah's predicament. He sat down next to him, looking at Becca. "So..." He said slowly. "What happened?" He asked, looking from Becca to John. Jake felt something was wrong and walked over to where the kids were. On the way, his slow strides turned into a jog, and then a run, and then a sprint. He saw Noah and gasped, almost stopping where he was. But he continued, kneeling down next to him. "Dear Merlin..." He murmured. "What the bloody hell happened?" He asked, looking at Noah and Kat. Kira would normally have snickered at the irony of the comment, but remained quiet. //Jake knows how to mend bones...that's all the Healing he knows, basic bone breaks. Scratches, cuts, gashes, etc., and he's helpless. //

//....How convieniet...except for the fact mending bones is very sophisiticated spell work. Even Madam Pomphry admitted it...it was easy for her cause she had done it so many times but it did take awhile, and the body still had to heal...//
"John called my a constipated donkey...I went to smack him and he ducked...so I went to kick him in the shin...and he was too close...so he had a man test and then his was still ducking and his face impaled my leg...." Becca explained softly looking at her shoes. John was able to nod and was slowly getting the breath back in his lungs.
Kat sighed, "I don't know what happened, that's what I want to know. So...Becca caused John's injuries..Kira...what was happening with you and Noah?" She asked. Kat wasn't accusing, but she knew John had been on the ground, and Becca was with her, so the only person who could have seen anything would have been her.

//OK, fine, you caught him. He can temporarily mend it, kind of like it's wrapped around with a magical cast...which is no excuse for a real Healer...but it'll at least get someone TO a Healer...//
Kira looked down. "Well, I was chasing Noah, and then he ran by the swings and I went back by John before Becca came back and got all mad like she does because I didn't stay by him and blah blah blah, and then you came, and then he came," she said, pointing at Brent, "and then I saw Noah and he was all...bloody and stuff...and then I pointed at him and then you asked me to explain and then I did and then then is now..." Kira said, using the same voice Noah had to explain his Leg-Locker charms, and not pausing to breathe until she was finished.
"Ah...I see..." Brent said, still surprised at the wide vocabulary the six year olds had. He looked at John and then back at Becca. "Becca, maybe you should go find your mother..." he suggested, still unaware of what had happened to Noah.
