Things in Bold are just exaggerated, as if you didn't already know.

Chapter 1: The Rivalry
It was bottom of the ninth inning, Pukka High with 10 runs, Tokyo High with 11. But there were two bases filled with Pukka players. Pukka High's best batter was up, to bad against Tokyo High's best and fastest pitcher. Students in the stands were cheering. Pukka and Tokyo High had been arch rivals since the education system had started, and this game was a bragging right to rub in the enemy's face.
"Yeah, hit it out Okimaru! "One Pukka girl cheered. She had given her spirit completely to the Pukka High school. She even wore her school uniform to the game on a Saturday. A white collared shirt with a gray vest, black skirt, black tie and extremely baggy socks that loosely hung over her black shoes.(Basically a lot of black... after all they are The Pukka High Pandas) Her grayish-blue eyes showed much determination as she stood up and punched her fist into the air.
"Go Pukka Pandas! "She yelled, as if she was part of the game. Her class mates that sat next to her all got -.- looks.
"Hey Zoey...it's cool that your really into school spirit but maybe you could turn it down a notch. "One suggested. Zoey shot a glare at the girl.
"Are you crazy? If we don't win then that means I won't be able to rub it in Higurashi's face! "She said. Her friends just sighed as there was a little 'ahem' from Zoey's side.
"I heard that... "A voice said. Zoey looked over a smirked as she sat back down with her arms crossed.
"Good, I was hopping you would. "She mumbled.
"Kagome, please don't start this again. "A Tokyo High student sighed as the familiar raven haired girl growled.
"And by the way, I wouldn't waste the little brain cells you have on working on that victory brag! Okimaru is the lamest hitter I've ever seen. "Kagome snorted.
"Then how'd he get a triple the last time he got to bat? I guess it's just because of your sucky pitcher. "Zoey shrugged and glared over at Kagome. The two girls got locked in a sparky glare. Their friends all sighed and looked down at the baseball game.
"Hey Zoe, are you going to pay attention to the game or not? In case you haven't noticed this is a really intense moment. "One of the Pukka girls said. Zoey broke away from her glaring match and looked over at the score board confused.
"Dude...two strikes and three balls already? How long was I arguing with Higurashi for? "
She looked down at the field where the pitcher prepared. She felt sweat beading all over her face. Her blue eyes glanced over at Kagome, who was pretty much watching the game as intensely as Zoey was. The red head's(Zoey's) eyes widened as the pitcher moved to throw the ball. Everything seemed to happen in slow motion as the students kept their eyes on the baseball from the bleachers. The ball was about to leave the pitcher's fingers as Zoey felt her own heart pounding. It was almost unbearable..
Finally the ball flew in the air towards Okimaru. He swung his bat and everyone grew silent as the perfect swing came in contact with the perfect hit. People watched as it flew up. It began it's landing towards a Tokyo High outfielder as Pukka's hitter sprinted towards first base. Tokyo held his mitt out, people were sure the ball would land in it. Kagome got an evil glare on her face as Zoey chewed on her nails.
Gravity seemed to be working slow today. But finally the ball fell out of the sky. The Tokyo outfielder was so sure that he would catch it. Zoey closed her eyes and looked away not wanting to see the terror. She was surprised that after a few seconds there was no cheering from Tokyo High students.
'He had to of caught the ball by now... '
She slowly opened her eyes and looked back towards the field. Her blue orbs widened as she saw the ball laying on the ground right next to the catcher who still had his mitt in the air. Even Okimaru on second base was to dazed to move. The referee looked at the crowd confused, him being the only one that wasn't shocked.
"Uh...you kids do know it's game on, right? "He said. Everyone looked at him then some switch had be turned on as the Tokyo player reached down for the ball. This cause the runner on third base to sprint forward, followed by second base. Okimaru ran himself to get a better score. Even the crowd was suddenly hyper as they cheered out team member's names. Kagome and Zoey seemed to cheer the loudest. Their friends remained quiet though, knowing it'd be pointless since Kagome and Zoey were cheering so loud it would block out their own words.
Zoey's cheers grew louder as the runner reached home. It was 11 to 11 now, tied, something worst then losing. But the second runner was hurrying in. Kagome cheered on her team as someone threw the ball towards home. This was it, a race between the runner and the ball. Pukka's runner slid, making a big fog of sand smoke that the ball disappeared into. No one could see what had happened. Everyone was silent as the smoke cleared. There was a little gasp as people saw the ball safely in the catcher's mitt with his foot on home plate. And there layed the runner, his fingers just missing the plate.
"Out! "The referee called.
A few people cheered, glad that there team had at least tied. But two girls remained silent and shocked. Zoey and Kagome looked at each other with worried looks.
The two girls walked down the street. Kagome glanced over at the red head who walked on the side walk opposite of her. It was so misfortunate that they lived close to each other and had to walk the same way to get home. Even walking home was a competition to them, seeing who would get there fastest. It wasn't really fair though since Kagome's shrine was closer. Kagome sighed.
"Hopefully the Feudal Era will cheer me up... "
She thought about the hanyou Inuyasha and all the other stressful things in that era.
"I really doubt that... "
She didn't feel like leaving tonight but she promised Inuyasha. And he was mad enough already that she stayed for the baseball game. Meanwhile Zoey walked with her arms crossed. Every once in a while she would adjust her heavy panda backpack.
"This stinks... I can't say anything snappy to Kagome because we tied... "
She noticed them getting closer to Kagome's house. Zoey narrowed her eyes.
"There's still one more thing that can decide tonight's winner... "
Kagome noticed the red head's walking speed up. She glared and sped up herself. This continued on and on until eventually both girls were running. Soon they were forced to be on the same side walk as they ran right next to each other.
"Give it up Higurashi! "Zoey growled.
"You give up! You know I'm just going to win like always! "Kagome snapped.
"You just win because you live closer! How about this, first one to that crummy shack with the well in it at your shrine wins! "Zoey knew about the well from the time she had to go over to Kagome's to seal stuff for a school fundraiser. She did it not only to make Kagome made, but because they were sealing 'antiques'...at least that's what she told Kagome's grandpa.
"Fine! Eat my dust! "Kagome confirmed the contest and sped up. The shrine was coming up and both girls were still neck and neck. They ran up the steps so fast that it barely took a second. Kagome's grandpa who was praying by the nearby sacred tree noticed the two zip by.
"Welcome home Kagome! "He called. Kagome ignored her grandfather. Well really it wasn't ignoring since she was to caught up in beating Zoey to even notice her grandpa's words. Both girls locked their eyes on the building with the well in it. Within a few seconds they were going up the steps, both panting.
The door slid open as they ran towards the well. They reached out their hands to touch the finish line. But to make this story go faster, Buyo just so happened to walk by right in front of Kagome's feet. The raven haired girl's eyes widened as she flew forward and knocked into Zoey. The two girl practically glided right into the well(I know, so original, right?).
"Crap! "Zoey yelled as she expected a hard landing. But she couldn't feel any hard ground, but there was still the feeling of falling.
"Wow...this is a really deep well... "
She opened her eyes and gasped. She was surrounded by a bright blue light. She saw Kagome to her side with wide eyes. Kagome slapped her forehead.
"Higurashi, what the hell did you- "Zoey couldn't finish her sentence since she felt the hard ground suddenly hit beneath her. She landed head first, thus knocking her out. (Yay!)
That is the first chap! Trust me it gets much more interesting in the next chapter which is already posted so you might as well go read it:) Thanks people, you rock my socks!
