Chapter 2: Two years later, we meet again…
As the semifinals of the National tournament continued on between Shitenhouji and Seigaku, no-one seemed to notice the hooded figure standing near the top of the courts, watching the Shitenhouji regulars play
As soon as the unofficial one-point match between Seigaku's dark green-haired, hazel-eyed rookie, Ryoma Echizen, and Shitenhouji's red-haired, brownish gold-eyed rookie, Kintarou Tooyama, ended and the teams began to discus between themselves or head out, the hooded figure walked over to stand in front of the Shitenhouji regulars.
All the teams turned to look at what was happening as the Shitenhouji tennis team regulars looked at the person in confusion, confused about who they were. They watched as the person reached up and pulled the hood of the jacket the person was wearing off of the person's face. From the person's slender hand with its well-manicured fingers, they knew that the person was a girl.
Shiraishi's eyes widened slightly as the thought of his best friend returning to him entered his mind. When the person removed their hood, all the regulars of the Shitenhouji team stood frozen in their spots, unable to believe that the only girl allowed as a regular in their team two years ago, had returned.
They couldn't believe how beautiful she had become in the two years they hadn't seen her. She had developed curves in all the right places which were easily visible even though she was wearing a pair of black stone-wash jeans and a white and blue hooded jacket. With that she was wearing white and black tennis shoes. Her blue-hued raven-black hair reached past her mid-back, curling slightly as it fell to her hips. Her face had become more angelic and her eyes shone a soft blue color as they looked over the Shitenhouji regulars. There was a black tennis bag on her shoulder which was soon to reach the ground as most if not all the Shitenhouji regulars ran to her and one-by-one hugged her.
The only ones who weren't hugging her were Shiraishi, who waited for his turn with slight impatience, their Coach, Watanabe Osamu, who smiled as he watched his team hug the girl they all seemed to adore even when they were all in their first year, and Kintarou, who didn't know who she was and was watching all his senpais hug the girl.
Kagome smiled at all the regulars around her before looking at the Captain of their team. As she watched Shiraishi smile back at her, she walked over to him and, without another word, they wrapped their arms around each other, Shiraishi burying his face in her soft raven waterfall of hair.
"I'm back, Kura-kun" she whispered to him softly to which he only tightened his arms around his best friend's slim waist before he whispered back, "Welcome back, Kago-chan"
As they hugged each other, Shiraishi couldn't help but smile at the feeling of his best friend in his arms again. He could feel his feelings for her rekindle. After all, he had never loved anyone else other than her ever since she had left for America. He had done as she asked- he had led Shitenhouji to the Nationals and he was proud of the fact that his team had reached till the semi-finals of the Nationals both times they had participated
Smiling, Kagome opened her eyes, which she had closed when Shiraishi had buried his face in her hair gently, only so see the Seigaku regulars standing a little ways away from them. Seeing the first year regular of the team, Kagome pulled away a bit from her long-time best friend and crush. Seeing his confused look, she smiled and gently kissed his cheek which made him smile at her.
Walking over to the Seigaku regulars, ignoring the widened eyes of the others, she smiled softly at them before stopping a couple of feet away from Ryoma. "It's been a while hasn't it, Ryoma-kun?" she said to him
Ryoma smirked at the older girl before smiling, "It has been a while. But I hadn't expected you to be coming to Japan, Kagome-chan." He said, a bit confused at seeing his best friend there after just a few days of not seeing her.
"Hmm... didn't I tell you that I would be coming to Japan to watch my previous team play in the nationals after winning in that inter-school tournament with my team?" she asked the hazel-eyed boy, an elegant eyebrow raised as she crossed her arms over her breasts.
"Che… I don't really remember" he said, smirking at her teasingly. Kagome smiled softly before shaking her head at him.
"Mada mada dane, Ry-o-ma" she said to him teasingly, making all the people around them laugh. The Shitenhouji regulars walked over to the raven-haired beauty, wondering how she knew the first year regular of the Seigaku Tennis Team.
Looking around at the Seigaku regulars, Kagome smiled and introduced herself, "Hey! You all must be wondering who I am, right?" she asked. Seeing them all nod, she bowed slightly and said, "I'm Kagome Higurashi. I used to study at Shitenhouji till about two years ago when I was forced to leave Japan due to my mother's job transfer. I met Ryoma-kun in America when he came there to participate in the U.S. Open. Ever since then, we both have been best friends." She said, looking at the hazel-eyed boy with a soft look in her sapphire blue orbs.
The others introduced themselves to which Kagome smiled. Suddenly, she felt something on her back, making her almost fall from the sudden weight on her back. "Kagome-chan" she heard a male voice say near her ear.
As she was about to fall, Kagome felt a pair of hands holding her up. She smiled at Shiraishi who was holding her up gently, with his hands on her arms. Turning slightly, she looked at the orange-haired, reddish-brown eyed boy, also called the Sleeping Beauty of Hyotei, Jirou Akutagawa. He was looking at her with awe, easily visible in his eyes.
Kagome blinked in surprise, "Umm... hi?" she said, a bit unsure of who he was.
