Stealing Kisses
Summary: She was the cousin of 'hissss' you guessed it, Kaoru Kaidou, and an obviously seasoned Tennis Player. She wasn't trying to show off, and she hadn't meant to make herself an enemy out of Tomoka, a random fan girl of the kid she'd beaten, but what really got to her, was the boy who had seemingly appeared out of no where, and kissed her. She won't say anything to her older cousin, he'd kill the guy...but...that was her first kiss, what's she supposed to do now? Let it be? Not a snowballs chance in hell!
Genre: Romance/Humor

"Nii-San~!"
Silence filled the house as a softly spoken voice called out from the front foyer of the house that was lightly lit.
"He left a while ago, Hazue-Kun."
Hazue turned to see a girl sitting on the floor tying her shoes. "He always leaves before saying goodbye!" He sighed, "Anyways, I'll be leaving too, I have early morning practice; what about you Kagome-Nee?"
Smiling, Kagome stood and stretched, "I'm going to catch up to your brother and follow him through school. After all, it is my first day,"
Hazue frowned, "I'm not sure how that will work for you; he's probably already half way to Seigaku, do you know how to get there from here?"
"Yeah, he told me last night, and if I plan on catching up to him," She gave him a small smile, "...then I'd better hurry." She was out the door before he could say anything else.

Kaoru "Viper" Kaidou was, as Hazue had said, already half way to Seigaku, and showed no signs of slowing down. In fact, he had hit the peak of his jog and was now increasing speed. Intending on making it to school quietly without interruptions, he continued on his way, only to be knocked down by a sudden collision about eight or nine minuets later. He rubbed his wrist irritably and hissed out his aggravation for causing harm to his dominant hand to keep himself from hitting the ground. Glancing up, his eyes widened before they softened and he had to close his eyes and inhale a few times to keep himself from murdering the one person who meant more to him then Tennis, his father, mother and brother not included.
"How did you catch up so quickly?" He held his hand out, "I thought I left you at the house, Kagome."
"Heh," Kagome took his hand and pulled herself up onto her feet. "I grew up in Tokyo, Kaoru-Nii, I know the shortcuts here as well as you do."
He gave a small smirk, "Well, since you're here, do you want to run with me?"
Kagome gave a nod, "If it's no trouble,"
"None at all."

The Seigaku Regulars were just arriving as Kaoru and Kagome made their way to the school gates, Kagome passed through the gates a few seconds before Kaoru who huffed and hissed his irritation.
"I won!"
The group of Tennis players stared curiously at the girl who was hopping up and down on her feet gleefully.
"Since when do you go jogging with random girls, Viper?"
Kagome turned curiously to the boys and then to Kaoru who blushed, "Viper? Is that some kind of nickname?"
"...something like that,"
"Hm, Viper...yeah, it fits. At first I thought you were shhhushing me. But it makes more since with the nickname to think you were hissing at me. And you," She pointed at a taller boy with spiked out black hair and brown hair. "Who are you calling a random girl?"
The guy laughed a bit at the threatening aura she seemed to be letting off. "Sorry kid, didn't mean that as an insult."
"...I'm not a kid either." Her eyes had seemingly darkened with her glare.
"Heh, I'm not winning this..."
"Hissssh,"
"You guys can cut in at anytime!" The guy snapped at the other six guys behind him, but all of them had turned away to show how inclined they were to interrupt the two.
Kagome smiled and walked over to her cousin, "I'm probably your senior, so don't go calling me kid; got it?" She looked the boy in the eyes before walking off with Kaoru.

Momoshiro stared in surprise at the gall of the little girl who had just left with their teammate. "So that's Kaidou's taste..."
Inui was writing something down in his Data Book at the new presentation of the girl by the snakish Counter Puncher's side.
"Hm," Ryoma who had been listening had other ideas on the matter, but what was it to him if he thought that girl and Kaidou were an item, it's not like it had anything to do with him, right?
"Oi! Oishi-Chan, we need to go." Eiji tugged at his doubles partners' blazer.
"Yeah, you should all hurry to the courts too."
Looking around, the group found that Tezuka and Fuji had already left, and followed their example.
-x-x-x-
"Thanks, Kaoru-Nii!" Kagome smiled as he blushed and went on his way to the tennis courts, having showed her to the office to get her schedule and books.
"You don't look as if you are related to Kaidou-San, how old did you say you were? Twelve?" The woman behind the desk asked.
"...no...fourteen." Kagome gritted out irritably, she understood why everyone made the same annoying mistake, but she hated it. Yes, she was short, she was small, her body was petite and she was just barely a B cup...but seriously, did she really look twelve? She was the same age as Kaoru, but he was a giant in comparison to her. Kagome sighed, "Which way should I go to get to the Tennis Courts?" She asked the woman behind the counter who was still looking doubtfully at her.
"Down the hall, take the east halls exit and they'll be on the left of the field, you can't miss them."
Kagome nodded her silent thanks before walking out with her stuff in her bag.
She made her way towards her cousins' locker; she had gone to the school the day before with him and had placed a couple items in his locker so that she wouldn't need to run with them today. Grabbing a bag from the locker, she shut it and turned the dial, grateful that he'd told her the code to unlock it.
"Milk doesn't work worth crap, because I drink two cups a day and I'm still short!" Kagome muttered irritably as she recalled her mom's own words; being told to drink lots of milk to grow tall and strong.
"Who's that?"
"Never saw her before,"
Kagome could hear them behind her, the gossip mongrels; every school had them, and she always found herself making enemies with that sort. Walking past the group, she made her way towards the east exit and then the tennis courts. She could see the Regulars making their way towards the courts, with the exception of two; one of the two missing was her cousin. "Where is Kaoru?"
Her question was heard by the annoying one from earlier who turned and gave her a creepy laugh. "Your boyfriend is changing,"
'...Boyfriend?' Kagome mentally gagged, "Eww...what is your name?"
"Momoshiro, call me Momo." He said, "Not to sound rude, but aren't you being a little harsh about Kaidou-San? I mean, yeah, he hisses a lot, but that doesn't make him eww."
'Better than the name I was going to call him,' Kagome sighed, "Do you see your friends behind you?"
Momo turned, "Yeah, what about them?"
"What are they doing?"
"...nothing?"
Kagome laughed, "Not talking, follow their example, and don't speak."
"Hey!"
"Hisssh,"
Kagome smiled, "Kaoru, nai...apparently we are a couple."
Kaoru made a sour face and glared, "Eww, no offence."
Kagome laughed out at that, "None taken." Kagome walked off to the courts leaving the group behind her.
-x-x-x-
"I don't get it!" Momo cried out, "She is so cute; I thought the two of you were a couple."
"She's my cousin!" Kaoru snapped, hissing as he did so.
"Ah, I see." Fuji smiled, "I thought it was something like that."
Momo frowned, "Why didn't you say anything to me?"
"I was uncertain of the facts. Ah, interesting." Fuji stared in the direction of the courts, they had been walking towards them since the girl left and now, they were watching her and their youngest Regular exchange volley's and serves.
"She play's tennis too?"
Kaoru glanced at Eiji from his side and smirked, "Better than the Kid,"
"EH!?"
They watched the game continue with a few points made by both sides, but Kaoru was right, she definitely had a head over Ryoma.
"How long has she been playing?" This question came from Fuji.
"Ah, since she learned that by hitting a tennis ball really hard at a, it boy would get them to leave her alone."
"..."
"In second grade, a boy pushed her off the swings and she took a racquet from one of the older students, grabbed a ball, and knocked the boy down onto his face with a well placed serve."
Eiji and Momoshiro laughed hard at the story, the rest smiled with the exception of Tezuka who was watching the match intently.
The girl did something strange with her hits, they did as they were supposed to, but the way she put a reverse spin on the ball sent it down in a low and reversed arch so that it was just an inch above the net, and then the ball would hit close to the line in the service box, and bounce out quickly, making it nearly impossible for Ryoma to get a hit off the ball when he started out at the Baseline. She switched it up too. Apparently, she could send the ball anywhere, and it would work in the same way so long as it was next to the line, bouncing directly out and earning her a point.
"..." Ryoma seemed to be studying that particular spin as well. There wasn't anyway to know, however, which way it would go. She could serve it left, and it would drop low and swerve to the right.
"Game Set, Higurashi wins! Games Three to One, Higurashi in the lead."
"She's doing well," Eiji grinned.
Tezuka scoffed, "Ryoma has come back from worst situations; he'll turn this match around."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that, hisssh~"
-x-x-x-
Kagome, who was completely oblivious to the conversation between her cousin and his friends, smiled brightly as she scored another point off of the annoying boy who had told her that the girls' tennis team was on the other side and that she'd get hurt if she stayed where she was. What, so she's short, that makes her weak?
"Fifteen to love, Higurashi!"
Kagome would end this, and make sure he didn't get more than another games worth of points off her. She would humiliate him, for thinking that she was too weak to be on the boy's tennis court!
