"I think it sounds like a fun experience, dear."
Two days had passed since the captain of the Kyuudou club offered Kagome a position in the upcoming event. The young girl bit into her granola bar thoughtlessly, her mind clouded in indecision.
Kagome hummed around her snack, 'I've never gone to a competition before, though...'
Kagome's mother sat across from the teen, taking a sip from her tea before continuing, "If you really want to participate I won't stop you, but remember to give it your all and have fun." Her mother's gentle and approving smile made a small laugh break out of the young girl.
"I'll think about it, mom," the girl stopped to take a drink from her cup of tea, "Honestly, I'm leaning towards competing. It sounds kind of fun." Kagome's smile turned to a slight grimace, "I'm just a little worried at the pressure, the attention…"
Kun-Loon's brown eyes shined in dry amusement, "I'm sure it can't rival the pressure of missing a shot in the past, dear." The responding snort from her daughter made a smile break from the mother of two. "It could be fun to compete with your classmates, dear." With a light kiss to her daughter's forehead she continued, "It's not the first time you'll be the center of attention, remember your middle school's culture festival?"
Kagome failed to contained her laughter, almost choking on her snack, "Yeah, I do. That was a disaster!"
"If you could do that, you can pull this off easily."
Blue eyes looked at her mother in amusement, "You're right, mom," a soft smile graced the girl's lips, "Thanks."
A loud ringing echoed through the house, with a smile the brown haired woman made her way to the phone, her soft voice reaching the girl's ears easily, "You should give an answer to your captain soon, darling, you wouldn't want to keep her waiting for too long!"
Kagome hummed as she finished her bar, listening to her mother speak on the phone distantly.
'I'll speak to Araki-senpai before practice tomorrow.'
With a hum Kagome went to her room to get a start on her homework.
"Alright everyone, well done."
The club members gathered around their captain awaiting her speech, "As all of you already know a select few of us will be leaving on Monday for the tournament in Miyagi. I would like the people I mention to stand by me when I say their name."
The captain's cool voice swept over the names easily, a small group of males and females forming besides her.
"...and our last member, recently confirmed, is Higurashi Kagome."
Delighted gasps swept over the students, first years staring admiringly at the young girl embarrassingly walking up to the group. Everyone watched with smiles as her fellow participants smiled and patted her on the back, glad to have her join them.
"This will be the group representing our school in this years tournament."
The group bowed to the rest of the club, "We will give it our best, please continue to support us." Cheers and cries of support from their clubmates made them stand back up and smile.
"I will be attending the tournament with them, as it is to be expected."
An older voice was heard among the cheers, easily quieting them down, "Our assistant coach, Watanabe-sensei will stay with the rest of you to make sure you continue to improve this week."
"Hai, Noda-sensei!"
The male's serious features softened in a smile, "I'm sure all of you will do a great work this week, I expect you all to have fun and bring pride to our club."
"Hai, Noda-sensei!"
"That is all, you are all dismissed." The coach walked away confidently, his smile still in place. The second and third years participating in the event stood in place, giggles and snickers sounding among the small group. At the front of the group the captain watched in amusement as the coach froze in place, a small sound escaping his gaping mouth,
"Did you forget to mention something, Coach?"
Walking briskly back, the older man scratched his neck, "Don't forget to get to school early, there will be a bus waiting for us."
"At what time should we be here?"
"6:30 am sharp, we'll be getting there a day early to make sure we're well rested for the competition the day after, we'll give it our all." Watching the tall man walk away once again, the group snickered as their captain called out their final question.
"Where should we wait for the bus, coach?"
"At the front gates of the school!"
The coach's yell and backwards wave made the group laugh as they prepared to leave, taking all their possessions and going to their respective changing rooms.
The girls kept steady conversation as they changed, easily exchanging banter at their coach's expense, his forgetfulness being an everyday joke around them. Blue eyes shined in amusement as she joined the conversation, "If it wasn't for Araki-senpai, we would never get anything done."
With a final laugh, she took her equipment and left the room easily calling a simple goodbye to her fellow kyudoka.
"Higurashi-san."
'Woa, deja vu.'
Kagome's friendly smile brightened her eyes as she took in her upperclassman, "Araki-senpai, what can I help you with?"
"The rest of the group has already been told, I want to make sure you know this as well." The brown haired girl easily closed the space between both girls as she motioned them to continue walking. "You need to speak to your teachers about the tournament, they will probably give you assignments to do during our stay there, if you have any problems don't hesitate to ask me." Kagome's grateful smile prompted her to continue, "Obviously, since we have male and female participants, we will have two rooms in our stay at Miyagi. Make sure to bring enough clothes, your work, and everyone is responsible for their own equipment."
"What about our uniform? Will we be using the same one for the club or do we have another one."
Finally making their way outside, both girl's continued to the gates, "We use the same one we use for the club," grey eyes glanced at the black haired girl, "Unless it's a ceremony we don't use a different one." A small smile made itself known at the curiousity present in her companion's eyes.
"That's all, I believe." Seriousness returned to the brunette's eyes, "See you on Monday, Higurashi-san."
"Ah," Kagome lips broke into a slightly tense smile, "See you on Monday, Araki-senpai."
Blue eyes watched as her captain walked away confidently, eagerness continuing to grow inside of her.
'I can't wait!'
Her previous smile wavered into an excited grin, an eager laugh breaking through her facade. Bright eyes looked into the sky, "Let's hope excitement knocks on my door once again!"
AN: Can I just-
Please read Volleyball Hearts by YoursAlways. If you haven't already, most of you probably did, you have no idea what you're missing.
They are all just so... so in character and it's hilarious.
And shut up.
I love it. (half of the views on there are probably mine)
