Chapter One
x-X-x
Kagome didn't know when it started, but she was playing tennis again. When her mom and divorced she made sure she had no interest at all in it. Seems like she couldn't escape tennis, but she didn't mind all that much. Kagome had lost her mom, little brother, and grandfather in the shrine fire that Inuyasha caused.
Inuyasha had killed them right in front of her, making her watch every single thing. Just thinking about it made her sick to her stomach and want to cry. He told her since he had the jewel, she was no use to her, and that she had no reason to live.
Kagome had nightmares of that night to this very day. But she didn't want to worry her father so she smiled. She was still hurting inside, that was a given, but she had to be strong. She was going to live, and make Inuyasha one day regret what he did to her.
Yes, Kagome was going to prove him wrong. She would live, and she did have family still, her brother Ryoma, who stayed with her father when their parents divorced, and her father. She was going to start living with them again. And that was where she was right now. In her new room, and in a new house. Her brother had yet to come home, and she had already unpacked.
She had put all of her books on her three bookshelves that were all filled, in the corner of the room by her closet was an easel, along with her desk right next to the easel. The desk was neat and had separate stands for pencils, pens, markers, and other things for drawings. By her desk there was all her sport material. She had a pair of ice skates, roller blades, tennis racket, and her tennis balls. All in all her room was pretty much done...all that she had left to do was wait for the rest of the boxes to be delivered. She should have three more boxes, but she had to wait.
Since she had done all she could Nanako told her something that had to be done today.
She had to go and register for school and meet Ryoma after his practice then walk home together. Nanako told Ryoma that she was going to meet him after tennis practice. She said she would show her where the school was then, would have to be on her way. (To let you know school is already out. They are doing to give her a tour while she is there, and by the time the tour is done, Ryoma's practice should be over.)
"Ne, Nana-chan, " Kagome stated, addressing her cousin, who turned to her with a puzzled look on her face. Kagome smiled inwardly, Nanako probably wasn't expecting her to give her a nickname like she did with Ryoma.
"Nana-chan?" Nanako asked, she was clearly confused. Kagome and her weren't that close, to be honest she was kinda nervous to be around the girl. She was pretty and her personality made you want to be around her. Nanako was sorta jealous, shaking her head she tried to rid herself of such thoughts.
Kagome's face broke out into a smile as put her hands behind her back, " Yeah, Nana-chan. It's cute! Right?" She gave Nanako a teasing wink before she started to hum lightly.
"Hai!" Nanako smiled, a light blush covering her cheeks.
"So Nana-chan, since we don't know each other that well, I was hoping this weekend we could go shopping and get to know each other..is that ok?" She asked, smile still in place as her blue eyes shinned.
Nanako nodded, "Hai, that would be fun! I know a couple places that you would adore."
"Really?" Kagome was curious on what the stores were. Kagome wasn't a big shopping type of person, but she did like shopping every so often. And she did like clothes, she just didn't like spending all day walking around going store to store for hours on end. IT was rather annoying to her.
'Hai! There are some good drawing stores here, I heard from Aunty that you like to draw. There are also some good cake shops here!"Nanako smiled, her Aunt had told her that Kagome had a soft spot for sweets, and judging by the look the crossed her face when she mentioned cake, her aunt was right on the dot.
Kagome broke out into a smile, her eyes sparkling, " I can't wait!" after that they both talked about little things, but before long they both lapsed into silence. Sighing Kagome looked at Nanak from the side of her eyes. She guessed she might as well ask about Ryoma, he hasn't been mailing her like he used too.
"Nanako? How has Ryoma been. He hasn't been calling or mailing me any letters in the last couple of months." Kagome asked breaking the silence, her voice soft.
Nanako gave a small smile."Ryoma is a Seigaku regular. He has been fine at the most part. He has become a great tennis player." Nanako answered her question.
"Well we're here. I have to get going."Nanako said as they arrived in front of the school, and waved goodbye to Kagome.
Kagome looked at the school entrance for a moment, and took in how big the school was compared to her old one. Letting out a sigh she walked in and headed to the school building entrance, it took her awhile to locate the office of the school, but when Kagome found it she went in and saw a secretary at the front desk. The woman had red hair that went to her shoulders, wore a white top, and she had green eyes and freckles covering her cheeks.
"Excuse me miss. I'm going to be a new student her and need a schedule and a uniform." Kagome told the secretary that was now looking at her.
The secretary gave Kagome a smile."You must be Miss Kagome Echizen. Am I right."she asked as Kagome nodded. She seemed nice, and had the air of friendlessness around her.
The secretary went and grabbed a bag and a piece of paper that was on top of it and walked over to me and gave them to Kagome."Here is your uniform and schedule. My name is Kisa Tajika and I will be showing you around the school and where other things are." she said with a smile and beckoned Kagome to follow her.
"This will be your home room, Miss Yamnai is your teacher's name. She is really strict when it comes to class attendance, but otherwise she is very nice." Kisa said pointing to the room. " and next is English with Mr. Inaire . He is an ok teacher. He doesn't like anyone slacking off, or sleeping while he is in the room. The third class is with some of the upperclassmen. It is Japanese legends. The teacher is Mr. Katari. He is the strictest of all the teachers. He wears and emotionless mask, and can scare anyone. Just don't get one his bad side and you will do fine."she said the last part in a stern voice.
"Your third class is Physics with the upperclassmen again. And your final class is with the upperclassmen again for advanced calculus." Kisa said finishing up her tour inside the school.
"Why do I have so many classed with upperclassmen?" Kagome asked. Kisa smiled when she asked.
"You have one of the highest scores when you took the entrance exams. The only thing that is holding you back to skipping a whole grade is English."Kisa told her with a big smile on her face.
"Well now should I show you the tour of where the clubs meet and such?"she asked, and Kagome sighed but nodded anyway.
Kisa had shown Kagome where certain clubs meet and what clubs she could join. They were stopped talking when they reached the tennis courts where there the tennis club was practicing. They stopped for a minute when Kisa started to explain what was going on here, but she was cut short when one of the tennis club members came running through the gate holding his hand over his mouth heading towards the drinking fountain. Kagome and Kisa both sweatdroped.
"Miss Tajika what do I do the pleasure of you coming to the tennis courts." asked coach Ryuzaki coming up from behind them, with Tezuka by her side.
Kisa smiled at the woman."I was showing a new student around. We are just passing through." she told the woman as she gestured her head to Kagome.
The woman's eyes shifted to Kagome. "Kagome I would like you to meet Coach Ryuzaki . This is Kagome Echizen." Kisa said introducing them to each other.
Kagome bowed to the older woman " um.. It's a pleasure meeting you."...
"...Echizen... Are you related to Ryoma." she asked. When she did, it caught a certain captain's attention that was next to her.
"Um. Yes I'm his older sister. I have been living with my mother until recently. I have moved back her and started living with them again." Kagome told them as they took a couple of seconds to absorb the information. They kinda looked shocked. Kagome mentally laughed, she guessed they weren't expecting him to have a sister.
"Are you going to be staying, for the last ten minutes of practice?" Ryuzaki asked her, curious about the Older Echizen.
Kaome nodded. "Yes I want to see how much Ryoma has improved on his tennis."Kagome told them with a smile on her face. Ryuzaki nodded, and told Tezuka to go on in and she would stay with her while practice was still going on, and she also told Kisa she was free to leave, and she would keep Kagome company.
"So Kagome do you play tennis?"Ryuzaki asked kagome as she watched a march between Ryoma and Momoshiro.
"Yes. My dad was the one who taught me tennis. The same with Ryoma. I love playing tennis. Before Ryoma and my parents divorced Ryoma and I would always see who could get the strongest. We made a promise to each other. We both said we would one day challenge each other as a pro tennis player, and see who is strongest." Kagome told the coach.
The couch gave a smirk. And thought that sounded just like Ryoma." That does sound like him." the coach said voicing her thoughts. Kagome smiled at this."Yah you are right." They stopped their conversation when they saw that everyone was clearing out, and the only ones left were the regulars, and that was because Tezuka was talking to them. When he was done talking they all left the courts.
"Hey who is that next to grandma huh?" Momoshiro asked as they exited the courts and getting the other regular's attention while doing so.
The regulars turned to see a girl about their age talking to the coach. They also saw that Ryoma was making his was to them and they followed suit.
"Kagome what are you doing here?" Ryoma asked, forgetting what Nanako told him this morning.
Kagome sighed then said."Did you forget that I had to register today. Nanako said she told you." She should of guessed this was going to happen. He did tend to forget things a lot.
Ryoma blinked trying to remember. But he shook his head. Kagome sighed yet again." Come on lets just get going home. Nana-chan said dinner should be ready by the time your practice was over and walked home." Kagome informed him, while noticing the other regulars staring at her, but she. ignored it, even though she though a couple of them were cute.
Kagome saw that the regulars were still staring at her so she turned her attention to them and smiled." I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Kagome Echizen, and I'm Ryoma's older sister." she said as she introduced herself, smile still in place.
"I didn't know O'chibi had a sister. Why didn't you start at the same time as O'chibi did ..Nya?" Eiji asked. He was curious, and when he was curious there was no stopping him.
"I live with our mother, and have just recently moved back in with him and our father." Kagome smiled, she knew she was going to be repeating that a lot in the next few months.
"Anyway, we should probably head home. Nanako said she wanted us home right away." Kagome told him, as she looked at Ryoma in the eyes and silently told him to lead the way, and so he did.
Most of the Regulars watched as the siblings walked away and to the locker room. As Ryoma walked in to change, Kagome waited outside for him.
Momo then spoke, "Man, she's cute! How's Echizen the younger brother of a girl like her?"
"Saa, Momoshiro, do you need a lesson in 'The Birds and the Bees'?" Fuji asked with his normal smile while mentally agreeing with the younger boy about Ryoma's sister.
Momo stuttered, "N-nani! Se-sempai!" He has a large blush covering his cheeks, as Fuji chuckled, enjoying teasing the underclassmen.
"Is that a yes Momo?" Fuji asked, acting innocent. There were a couple of snickers in the background from other regulars.
"Ne, Fujiko! It's not nice to tease him like that...even if he doesn't know about 'that'. Its not like they aren't going to learn about it in class...you remember the class..." Eiji said, glomping Fuji from behind.
"Saaa, you're right...'that' class was fun." Fuji told his friend, a smirk coming to his lips, which only made the others in the room shiver. They didn't want to know what to know about what he was thinking, because from the look on his face it meant it would only scare them and their innocent minds.
Closing the locker, Ryoma headed to the door, but not before uttering, "Mada mada dane, Sempai's." then left the club room leaving behind the rest of the regulars.
