Supernatural Death Note

Chapter Eighty: Games

"Hey, guys. There's shade trees near the open area and I thought we might set up there. Watari, are we using blankets or did you set up tables? Blankets would be easier to deal with, I think and make less work for you."

The older man smiled. "Blankets."

"Fantastic! Everyone ready? You are coming, Watari?"

"I am," he said softly.

"Let's go, guys!"

Near and Watari followed as they headed into a portion of the gardens that wasn't used that often. The older male had set up a large blanket for everyone to sit on. There were several baskets and coolers there. A badminton net had been set up and there were balls around for various types of games.

Dean stood with a look of awe on his face. "This is great! Thank you, Watari. Hey, what new foods am I going to learn to like today, or, are we actually eating unhealthy?" He grinned when he asked the question.

He laughed softly, watching as Near claimed a corner of the blanket under a thick canopy of trees. "Unhealthy. I thought that since it was fun day, we could splurge a bit."

"Thank you." They watched the boys running towards the gaming equipment and grabbing a volleyball. The three looked over at the others. Mello shouted at the others, "There's three of us. Dean, Sam, Ryuuzaki, Sarah, and Lisa! You five and us three makes eight. We can play with that many."

L shook his head and wandered to the boys. Watari had put his foot down about him working today, helped by Matt and Mello.

Mello had them in a group. "Matt and I are the captains. We get to choose teams. I won the toss." He grinned at Matt.

Dean looked at Lisa, "Sam will be picked first. He's 6'4" and has probably played it in college. Mello! Each side has to have a girl."

The blond stuck his tongue out at him. "Don't you think I know that! Goof!"

Dean grinned. "I can cut that dirty thing out, you know?"

"You'd have to catch me first," he snickered.

Sam murmured to Lisa, "Mello wouldn't get far. Dean can run fast."

Matt snickered. "Mello's pretty damned fast when he wants to be. I'll take Lisa!"

The blond poked his friend. "I got to go first so meh...I'll take Ben!"

Dean grinned at the joy on Ben's face. Matt yelled, "I still get Lisa. Your turn."

"Hmmm...decisions, decisions. I'll take Dean."

Dean spoke up, "Well, that's decided. You have to have a girl so you get Sarah. Ryuuzaki and Sam go to Matt."

The group nodded, heading towards their teams.

"Mello, I appreciate this, but with me on your team, we're probably going to lose. I will fight hard though."

The blond grinned. "We'll kick butt; we've got Ben after all." Dean winked at Ben. "He's our secret weapon against his Uncle Sammy."

The little boy giggled at that when Mello ruffled his hair. "Ok, we ready guys?"

"Flip a coin and see who serves first?"

Sam pulled a quarter out of his pocket. He tossed into the air and yelled, 'call!'"

"Heads," Mello called.

Dean called out, "It's heads! All right!"

Mello tossed Dean the ball. "Your serve first."
