Tenisu Kisaki
Summary:
Oishi brings his lovable cousin to practice with the Seigaku team, the same one who taught him how to play tennis! She tears apart the court and demolishes the Seigaku team, even the young Echizen. Her transfer to the school begins a heated battle between prodigies, Shusuke Fuji and Kagome Higurashi. Fuji/Kag

Practice was actually…pleasing. Kagome hadn't been pushed this hard since Sango decided she should learn to throw her boomerang.
Kagome's eyes instantly saddened at the thought of her friends. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, InuYasha, Kirara, Koga, Ayame, and Sesshoumaru; they were all gone…the ones who originally survived the final battle (Sango, Shippo, Miroku, Sesshoumaru) had lived long happy lives. Sango and Miroku were taken together; they both died in their sleep in each other's arms. The highest honor for a married couple, She had cried when she read the scrolls she had dug out of the attic, the well had sealed her from them when the jewel had been wished away and she didn't even get to see her friends go in peace. After the death of the Monk and the Slayer it is said that a Kitsune Thief raised from the ashes of the Shikon group, Little Shippo, he lived long until he was cornered and killed in a weakened state.
The only person she never found any information on was the cold lord himself, from which her poker face originated from.
She shook those thoughts that threatened to make her cry away and sped up, hoping to finish her laps before the others. The Inui Juice looked SO DAMN GROSS! The stuff was lethal! She watched freshmen and juniors drop from just a swallow of it. The only ones left were the Regulars and herself running.
"Here you go, Taka." Ryoma said, handing the shy guy a racket. Taka went into 'Burning' mode (As Kagome liked to call it) and shot forward, making a gap that Echizen used freely. Catching on, she shot up through the group, weaving much like her serve did and breaking out in the front.
"Hoi, hoi! Kaggie you are fast, but just how fast can you go?" Eiji laughed as he sped up to run beside her, she sent him an evil grin.
"You want me to go full speed? For the last two laps?" At this time Fuji caught up and nodded along with Eiji.
"See you later then!" Kagome poured on the speed, sprinting away from the pack at a speed only attainable by mountains of practice…or lots of running from hungry demons. She smiled into the wind, enjoying the feel of just being able to run.
It was enjoyable until she heard footsteps catching up to her. Confused, she turned her head to see Fuji's sharp blue eyes. Her own blue eyes widened, he was using her as a goal to catch up to. Kagome could only run at full speed for about ten minutes, plenty of time to finish her laps.
"You know…" Fuji panted, barely keeping pace with her, "You're really good at making people set new goals."
"Oh yea? What's your goal then?" Kagome stretched her legs to the fullest, silently daring him to try and keep up. He just sped up too.
"That should be obvious." He replied, blue eyes looking ahead at the corner they were about to turn around, "I want a good match, like the one Echizen gave me."
"Sounds like you want me to play you?"
"Yep." Fuji smiled at her, "But before then, how about we see who can outlast the other in an all out speed race?"
"Fine with me, if I win you get to show me to the street courts that Momo was talking about along with Eiji and Oishi." Kagome smiled, ready to add the very last of the strength into her legs if need be.
"Deal, and if I win you have go shopping with my sister tomorrow afternoon." Kagome paled, Yumiko was okay, but that woman loved shopping and had even told Kagome that if they ever went shopping together she would have a whole new wardrobe.
"Fine…" She agreed, turning quickly on her heel for a tight turn around the corner.
"Ready…" Kagome started, they had one more corner before they started their last lap.
"Set…" Fuji said just as they turned around the corner, the members who had already lost giving them awed looks. Inui and Ryuzaki regarded them with calm, yet amused expressions.
"GO!!!" They both yelled, passing the line in front of Inui. Kagome barely heard the freshmen cheering for Fuji, and some for her. She poured the last of her strength into her legs; making them stretch longer and go faster then she had ever been pushed in tennis. The makeshift vest she had was slowing her down by catching the wind, so to get rid of it while keeping her speed she unzipped the zipper and pumped her legs even faster.
Performing a small, tuck 'n Roll she shed the jacket and threw it off to the side; ahead of her was the rest of the Regulars, trying to keep to the time limit per lap, she could hear Fuji's heavy breathing coming from behind and Momo's yelled from the pack in front of her.
"OH HELL NO! Oishi, your cousin and Fuji are going to LAP US! That's not right, how can they have that much energy?"
"Kagome has always had high endurance; I won't be surprised if she still has energy AFTER practice." She heard Oishi say back. She had smoosh down her pride that her cousin thought so highly of her and just concentrate on running faster.
"Go Fuji!" Kagome could hear the cheers from the juniors and most of the freshmen. Oh well, she would just have to show them.
"I think those two will be even more of rivals then Kaidoh and Momo." Taka whispered to Oishi, pointing at the passing Kagome and Fuji, who had caught up to her. Both had looks of determination of their faces as they seemingly poured everything they had into running.
"We challenge her…" Oishi whispered…finally realizing why Kagome, even with a determined look on her face, glowed with happiness. "That was part of the reasons she came here." He told the confused group.
"Oh, I get it. The people in her area didn't challenge her so she decided to come here for a challenge?" Momo wondered aloud, he looked ahead to where he saw the two prodigies taking the last corner.
"Oishi…I think your cousin coming here might just be the biggest challenge for Fuji yet. This will be interesting on how it turns out." Momo grinned over his shoulder to Oishi, who was running beside Eiji.
"Yea it will." He agreed.
:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:...:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:
Kagome and Fuji tore around the corner, both breathing hard and sweating bucket fills. Kagome couldn't help but smile. She loved this challenge, but she wasn't going to lose!
Little did she know that Fuji was thinking along the same lines, except he noticed the girl's beside him feelings. He could tell she loved the challenge just as much as he was, if not more. All he had to do was keep up with her for a bit more and he wouldn't lose; they would tie, but he still wouldn't lose.
Two more feet and they were home free; they could watch the suffering of the Regulars as they drank 'Super Awesome Inui Juice Hirotenshi Remix'. He usually liked the Inui Juice, but that one didn't even look appetizing to him! That itself said something.
Kagome couldn't believe it! This boy, the same age as her, kept up with her step for step; he was struggling, but he was doing it! He was good…
She glanced at him and could almost see the gears in his head working overtime to figure out a way they both could win. A tie sounded like the only way, but it would mean they both would have to go shopping with Yumiko; Kagome allowed a smirk to pass over her lips.
She was going to drag everybody she could along with her. Oishi would be easy…so would Eiji but the others would need some bribing. Nodding slightly, hoping Fuji understood, she slowed down to an easier pace that he could keep up to better.
Fuji was surprised, how she had known what he was thinking was beyond him but he wasn't going to pass it up. He matched her stride for stride, and by the time they both crossed the finish line they were beat. They both crashed simultaneously to the ground and used each other's backs to lean against.
"That was (pant pant) one of the best (Pant) runs I've had in a long time" Kagome gasped, her breath coming out in short sharp intakes. Fuji just nodded in agreement, breathing too hard to even talk. Kagome looked over to where Inui was pouring a giant pitcher of his special Inui Juice into six HUGE cups.
"We don't have to drink that do we?" She asked shakily, backing away slowly unknowingly pushing Fuji back too.
"No, you two won. You get a break, but those guys haven't noticed that with you passing them, they all come in last place." Inui said that weird glint on his glasses. Kagome smiled sweetly and pointed to the cups.
"Can I help pass them out?"
Almost identical smiles spread across Inui's, Kagome's, and Fuji's faces. The members already out thanked the lord that it wasn't them receiving the juice from the scary trio.
:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:...:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:
The rest of the regulars finished just barely within the time limit. Kagome stood there waiting for them with her hands behind her back and a sickly sweet smile on her face.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Eiji murmured, looking at Inui and Fuji, whom had the same smile adorning their faces. Kagome stepped forward and held out two glasses filled with vile, bright pink, goo.
"Because I and Fuji lapped you; you all came in last place. Therefore not only do you have to drink this, but, you have to go shopping with me and Yumiko tomorrow!" Kagome's sweet smile darkened, daring anyone to go back on what she just said. Eiji and Oishi nodded obediently, knowing Kagome's wrath well. Taka nodded too once the glare was set in his direction, Momo and Kaidoh just groaned.
"I'll pass" Ryoma said, turning to walk away.
"Mada Mada Dane" Kagome mocked, she smirked when she got the desired result of Ryoma turning back around and glaring at her. She smiled triumphantly until she noticed the whole team staring behind her and that there was a slight shadow looming over her. She looked up and came face to face with a pair of familiar caramel colored eyes.
Kagome turned slowly and set her face into a steady glare as she faced the silver haired teen.
"Yes?"
"Just came to see if you and your Chibi self had any skills." Jin smirked at the way Kagome twitched from his verbal barb. He didn't expect her to come and stand next to him, throw her left arm around his neck and yank him down to her eye level.
"Listen here Jinny, I put you in the dirt once and I can do it again. OR we could get along and you won't have to sport any unnecessary bruises okay?" Kagome dug her knuckles into his gelled up hair. When she let him go, his hair was all over the place and a few of the people present snickered.
"I'd introduce you to Jinny here, but from the looks on your faces you already know him!" Kagome went and plopped down on the ground next to Oishi, who had been looking between his cousin and the violent Jin for the whole exchange.
"What? He was one of the Yamabuki students that helped me figure out how to get back here." Kagome cried when the Seigaku regulars stared openly at her, not noticing the escaping Jin.

Clothing Shopping, girl's best friend, and mans worst enemy. But the odd thing was, Kagome seemed to hold shopping in the same regard that the boys did. Yumiko dragged them throughout the whole mall, making them try on different outfits. She had won the pot-luck at her work and had a good amount of cash on her, so she was buying them all the outfits she thought was perfect. The boys had endured her torture enough when she finally set her sights on Kagome who was hiding in the dressing room.
"C'mon Kaggie! All the boys have gotten something! Why can't you just come out and show me, I swear it's just me out here." Yumiko pounded on the door, attempting to get the girl out.
"LIAR! I can hear Kaidoh's kitty hiss!" Kagome snarled from the room, "Can I please just go home?"
"Nope, you agreed to this. Now, I've gotten rid of all the boys so get your ass out here." Yumiko winked at the now dead silent guys and turned towards the door. "Please Kagome; no one is going to make fun of you Hun."
"Are you sure everyone is gone?" Kagome opened the door a crack to peek out. Big mistake because Yumiko's hand whipped out and pushed the door open while grabbing Kagome's hand all in one go. Kagome came stumbling out and nearly ran into a corner, that if not for her quick reflexes she would've had a nasty bruise.
"Damn Yumiko, watch where you are pulling people!" Kagome growled, turning around to go back and change. She hated shopping and now all her new friends had just witnessed the outfit of choice. It started with a army bathing suit top underneath a bright orange tube top that reached the same place as her practice shirt. A vest with many pockets and some short jean shorts the clerk called 'Daisy Duke's'.
"Wait, wait, wait, and wait! You look great Kagome! Doesn't she guys?" Yumiko gave them a look that clearly said 'say yes even if you don't think so'. They all nodded, not needing the extra encouragement for she did indeed look great.
"Thanks, but can I please go change?" Yumiko nodded and picked up a few more articles of clothes that nobody noticed she even picked up, except for her brother, Fuji. She smiled and grabbed the outfit from Kagome when she reemerged to go pay for that and mumbling about how the 'others' would look just as good.
"Do I even want to know?" Kagome asked, looking at them pleadingly. They all shook their heads in the negative way and Kagome sighed.
She should have never agreed to this.
"Time to eat! To the food court!" Yumiko smiled as Kagome squealed and nearly ran out of the store. The others followed behind at a more subdued pace (Well, as subdued a hungry Momo and Kaidoh can get.)
"Kagome calm down, it's just food." Oishi tried to reason with his cousin. But it fell on deaf ears as the girl froze and stood shock still, staring at a large crowd in the middle of the food court. It was a challenge issued by the mall; whoever can remain undefeated on the game for twenty or more games, they could win a free, three-day trip to an island with their choice of nine friends.
The game? Dance Dance Revolution.
The two closest too Kagome paled when they saw what she was looking at, who turned out to be Eiji and Oishi.
"Eh, Kaggie how bout we go over…" Eiji was once again cut off by Kagome running off in the direction of the machine. She pushed her way through the crowd and up unto the platform.
"Ready to go down girly?" the man said, a golden tooth shining from his mouth.
"Only if you are" Kagome smirked as the game commenced. Oishi shook his head and cursed which ever god decided to put a DDR machine RIGHT THERE!
"We aren't going to get out of here until she wins…are we?" Taka asked timidly, watching Kagome pull off some really strange, but cool, moves.
"Nope, Kaggie used DDR to help widen her reflexes and endurance…" Eiji yelled, "GO KAGGIE! KICK HIS ASS!"
:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:...:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:…:
"I can't believe you pulled me off that machine Momo! I had two more games and I would have won that vacation for all of us! Asshole!" Kagome snarled from her spot slung between Momo and Kaidoh so she wouldn't get away.
"If we had stayed any longer, Yumiko would have bought us all new underwear; so be grateful!" Momo growled back. Kagome shut up after that and amused herself by making faces at the ever smiling Fuji.
"You know, if you keep your face like that it might just get stuck like that." She growled over at him when her attempts to make him play with her failed miserably. Fuji just laughed and opened his eyes and stuck his tongue out at her. "See? Was that so hard?"
"Yes…Yes it was"
Everyone began laughing, sans the stony faced Kaidoh and the cold Ryoma.

Fuji waited for Kagome to stop trying to annoy him before studying her. From what he could tell just by being around her is that she can go from one emotion to another in ten seconds flat. It was confusing, and probably something she perfected at a young age. Another thing was that she was a whole different person while playing tennis, still ever changing and joyful, but could change to cold and letting no one see what she was thinking.
Fuji found two words that seemed to fit the Tokyo Prodigy very well; unknowingly using the same words that Inue used in his article on her.
Wild, and Untamed.
That's exactly what Kagome Higurashi was.
Only one flaw was in his plan to study the girl without anyone knowing; he had let his guard down. And one of the worst possible people caught him watching Kagome like a hawk.
His older, nosy, want to-be matchmaker sister.
