Part 1
A/N: an early Christmas two-shot I wanted to dedicate to my reviewers… Since I'll be on vacation from the 16th of this month till the 2nd of next month, I wanted to write this early Christmas two-shot for you all…
I won't give any summary this time... you'll have to read and review to find out… As usual, I own nothing but the plot and any OCs I add… The only warning will be OOCness and maybe some sudden twists, though that's not that likely… also, I won't give any descriptions... This is set in the PoT universe… Yukimura doesn't go to hospital in this…
Please read and review…:)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Mother! You can't do this to me!!" said a girl with hip-length blue-hued raven black hair, a curvaceous frame, covered by the Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku school uniform, angelic features with soft pink lips, a cute nose, high cheekbones and gorgeous sapphire blue eyes. She was holding a silver and black mobile phone in her feminine and didn't seem to be happy at all.
There was a pause as her mother replied to her and tried to get her to change her mind. The girl sighed and covered her eyes with her free hand, her other still holding the phone she was using.
She sighed before saying in her soft voice, "But mother… you know that I'm in love with someone else. Why do you want me to get betrothed to someone I don't even know, only for a business merger?"
She groaned when she heard her mother's reply. Sighing, she finally replied, "Fine, I'll get him if I can on Christmas." There was a pause as she heard her mother reply, "Alright, if I can't then you can ask them about it." There was another short pause as she listened to her mother again, and then said, "Fine. I have to go now. I'll talk to you later, mother."
Wishing her mother a quick good-bye, she flipped her phone closed and put it back in her bag. Burying her face in her hands she groaned softly before saying, "What should I do now?"
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the tennis team's second year ace's voice say, "Kagome-chan… where are you?" followed by the team trickster's voice shout her name as well. They were calling for her.
She sighed softly before standing up from the bench she was sitting on, lifting up her bag as she did.
As she did, the said two boys ran over to her, looking her over worriedly; after all, she was their team coach and manager. She smiled at the two boys who just looked at each other before turning to her questioningly.
"Have you been tensed about something, Kagome-chan, puri?" Masaharu Niou, the pale blue-haired, dark-green eyed trickster of their tennis team asked, not wanting their always smiling manager, coach and friend to seem so sad all of a sudden.
She sighed softly, not wanting to trouble the others with her problems, though she always shared the team's sadness and joy and helped them feel and, thus, play better. She was always there for them, yet she never shared her problems with them. That was something they weren't happy about
As she opened her mouth to tell them that she had no problem, all she got from the two boys were glares from each pair of green eyes.
"Don't lie to us, Kagome-chan. We know you have some problem. We heard you ask yourself what you should do now. So don't you dare lie to us!" Akaya Kirihara, the black-haired, emerald-green eyed second year ace of their team said.
Seeing her look at the ground, a bit ashamedly, he continued, "Please Kagome-chan. You always help us when we have problems. You even helped me with my English when I was having trouble with it. If it weren't for your help, I'm sure I would have failed in the surprise test the teacher took the next day"
He looked at the one girl in the whole school he as well as all the other regulars respected and cared about and said, "You helped Mura-buchou when he wasn't ready to see the doctor when he wasn't feeling well. If it wasn't for you he would have been in the hospital right now, Kagome-chan. You even helped Yagyuu-senpai in the council work, Marui-senpai with his stamina training, Jackal-senpai with his defense training, Renji-senpai with some data problems he was having, Sanada-fuku-buchou with the training he wasn't ready to let anyone else know about. And you don't even mind when Niou-senpai plays tricks on you, even if all of us mind it." He sent a glare at Niou who smirked at him.
She sighed; yes, she had helped everyone, but that was what she was supposed to do as the manager and coach of their team, right?
Niou looked at her and said, "Come on, Kagome-chan, puri. Confide in us, atleast this one time. Maybe we'll be able to help you with the problem you have, puri."
Kagome sighed softly, "Well Aka-kun, Haru-kun…" the two boys looked at her expectantly, making her giggle slightly at the cute looks they were giving her, "my mother just called me and said that if I don't bring my boyfriend home for Christmas next month, she'll talk to our family's business partner and betroth me to the person's son." Seeing their shocked looks, she continued, "Now the problem is that not only do I not have a boyfriend but also that I don't know the guy my mother wants to betroth me to."
She sighed and sat down on the bench again. The two boys shared a look, silently telling each other, 'Kagome-chan might get betrothed if Mura-buchou doesn't ask her out soon. We have to tell him'
Kagome, oblivious to their thoughts, stood up again before sighing; she was sighing a lot today, wasn't she?
Looking at her two friends she said, "Could you tell Seiichi-kun that I'll be a bit late for practice today? I have to give the team papers to the Principal's secretary, so that in the upcoming tournament we won't have any problems"
The two boys looked at each other and with the combined thought of 'Better for us. We'll be able to tell Mura-buchou about this without letting Kagome-chan find out', they nodded at her and promised to deliver her message to their captain.
Wishing them a quick 'See you in a few minutes' she made her way to the Principal's office to finish with the papers she had to give him, all the while thinking about how she would ask the guy she had a crush on out, so that she wouldn't have to be betrothed to someone she doesn't know anything about.
Meanwhile, with Niou and Kirihara:
They had already reached the courts where all the regulars were gathered, waiting for their two fellow regulars and friends as they went to fetch their coach.
As the two ran over to where their captain and vice-captain were standing, all the other regulars looked at them, then looked at each other and then made their way towards where the two boys were headed wanting to know why they were running so fast and why their coach wasn't with them.
Stopping in front of the captain of their team, the two boys bent down, hands on their knees, trying to catch their breathe while waiting for the other regulars to surround them.
When the other regulars were surrounding them, they stood up straight and looked at Yukimura. "Buchou, Kagome-chan might get betrothed." Kirihara said, making all their, sans his own and Niou's, eyes widen in surprise. They looked at their captain only to see his eyes widened in surprise. They knew he was in love with their Manager and Coach, as was she in love with him as well.
What they didn't get, however, was why the two of them weren't together yet. Everyone knew about the feelings they held for each other, except for themselves, who had no idea about the other's feelings for them.
"Betrothed?" he asked the two boys. The two boys nodded before Niou replied, "Yes, buchou; though, Kagome-chan doesn't seem to know who the guy is really. He's her parents' business partner's son, apparently, puri."
"How do you know all this, Niou-kun?" Hiroshi Yagyuu, the purple-haired, brown-eyed regular of their team, who wore oval glasses and was also nicknamed the 'Gentleman', asked, adjusting his glasses slightly, as he looked at the two boys.
"Well, when we went to look for Kagome-chan, we overheard her asking herself what she should do now, puri." He replied as Kirihara nodded his head in agreement. "When we asked her about it; at first she wasn't ready to tell us, as usual, puri." The last part of his sentence made them all chuckle or smirk and nod their heads.
Kirihara continued for his senpai, "Finally after a bit of persuading, she told us that her mother wants her to take her boyfriend home on Christmas to meet her family or else, Kagome-chan will be betrothed to their business partner's son."
"I see." Seiichi Yukimura, the dark blue-haired, indigo-eyed captain of their team said, nodding in understanding. He knew, as well as everyone else that Kagome didn't have a boyfriend. He loved her, but he really didn't know if she felt the same way for him as he felt for her.
He wouldn't let her get betrothed, he decided. He would confess to her after practice today and if she felt the same way for him as he felt for her, he would go to meet her family on Christmas as her boyfriend. He nodded his head once, which along with the determined look in his eyes made the others smile, knowing that Kagome would no longer be boyfriend-less.
With that they started talking and discussing about other, less serious things till Kagome came over; having finished the work she had with the Principal's secretary.
Finally practice began, and Kagome watched over the team as they played games against each other, correcting them and helping them whenever she had to.
All the while, unknown to her, Yukimura had been watching her out of the corner of his eye, trying to figure out how he would confess to her.
Finally getting an idea, he smiled his usual smile and walked over to her from his place where he was watching Sanada play against Niou. Kagome was watching Kirihara play against Yagyuu as she helped Kirihara try to control his devil mode as he played. She kept saying things to him in her soft voice helping his calm down his demon.
Stopping next to her, as well as gaining all the other regulars' attention as well, he called her, "Kagome-chan?" Kagome turned to him and smiled softly, before saying in her soft sweet voice, "Yes, Seiichi-kun?" he loved hearing her voice say his, as well as the others', names or the short forms of their names which she gave them. Though it was quite obvious why none of them seemed to mind her calling them by their first names or shortening their names as she did
"Would you mind playing a friendly game with me?" Yukimura asked her, with the same smile on his face. They all knew that Kagome was a prodigy as well as the fact that the Principal was trying to find out if it was alright for a girl to play in the Boy's tennis team.
Kagome looked at him questioningly, but agreed none-the-less. "Alright, Seiichi-kun. Just let me change into some proper clothes alright?" He looked at her questioningly, to which she just answered, "Well, I always bring some extra training clothes, just incase I can get to play and practice with you all. You know, incase the Principal says that I will be allowed to play as a part of you team." she blushed softly and looked down, making the others smile at her adorable yet sexy cuteness.
She looked back up at him. At his nod, she smiled before saying, "Do you mind if I use the locker rooms to change?"
He smiled and replied, "Go ahead, Kagome-chan. We'll be right here alright?"
Kagome smiled and nodded. With that, she walked over towards the locker rooms throwing a "Be right back" over her shoulder at them
As she went and changed, the other regulars continued with their practice games as Yukimura watched over Kirihara's game against Yagyuu, trying his best to calm Kirihara down like Kagome does.
