Izumi Prepped herself for the jump off as she surveyed the setup of the opposing team. She set herself close to Rikyu and stay on him was as determined as she would her brother. She knew she had a strange advantage on him because as little as she knew about him he knew as little about her. Sure they'd seen her speed but unless they'd seen her play a game they had never seen her court skills or knew that she could control the ball in same way a pool hustler controlled the cue ball.
