Kagome looked thoughtfully at the ball in her hand as she raised it higher, her left leg outstretched behind her as her right hand was holding the weighted ball higher and outstretched before her.

"Kagome-Senpai is completely focused."

"I know, she's so pretty, but she's also extremely hard working with her workouts and exercises."

Kagome glanced back and frowned, "If you two have time to gossip, you have time to practice. Maki-San, you should work on your vaults, and Nonoko-San, you should be practicing your floor routine."

"Ah! Hai~!"

Kagome tossed the ball up carefully and went back wards so that her head touched the gymnasium mats and both hands came behind her and caught the ball. She switched legs so that her other leg was extended in the air. 'Eiji-Kun...'

"Nai, nai...I heard from one of the tennis players that Eiji and another Regular are in a relationship..."

"Ehh?!"

"No way, I was certain that he was completely straight..."

"Ano...he seemed a little fruity in my opinion, I always saw him hanging off of Fuji-Senpai in class, and then he's always holding onto Oishi-Senpai and Echizen-Kun...you know?"

"But that–"

"Ladies!" Kagome moved in a single fluid motion, her body coming up as her leg went down, tossing the ball backwards behind her where it bounced a few times before rolling up against the wall where the other weighted balls were. "If you aren't going to start exercises, then leave! Otherwise, get back to your workouts. As a girl, I expect the gossip...but as young women, I would think you'd have something better to do." At this, the girls quickly muttered out a line of apologies before rushing off to their appropriate stations for workouts. '...Eiji...BAKA!' Kagome grabbed her jacket from the side and left the gymnasium. Today was the day of the Gymnastics competition, and she was currently too peeved to care.

She stormed out of the Gymnasium and past one of the women in charge, "Something came up, I'll be leaving."

"Ah, your team will disqualify!"

Kagome frowned, "I didn't say I wasn't coming back, I said I was leaving, my team isn't up for another hour and a half. I'll be back soon." She walked outside and pulled on a pair of Agility Gym Shoes before taking off in a run. She didn't care that older men were staring at her, or the fact that all she had on under her white and blue team jacket was a long sleeve white and blue leotard. She didn't care. Pulling her cellphone out from her jacket pocket, she walked briskly towards the bus and waited as she dialed a number.

"MOSHI, MOSHI! You've called Kikumaru, Eiji! I'm not available to take your call, Nyan! So leave me a message, nai! Beep!"

Kagome frowned, "Oi, baka~ you made me irritated with weird rumors floating around, so I left the competition, I will assume you're on your way to the park courts for tennis, so I'll head that way." She snapped her phone shut and waited, watching a bus pull up, she sighed and waited for the people getting off to get off before she quickly jumped on and paid. Sitting down, she looked out the window. It wasn't far to walk, but it was quicker to ride the bus.

Eiji laughed as he and Shuusuke came up to the park that they and some other teams would be playing at. The courts were being cleaned by some of the early arrivers, and a little drink stand had been pulled up by the girls, Tomoka and Sakuno. "Ehh~! Sugoi, nai! It's not a big thing, but everyone is showing up to help out and have fun, nyan~!"

Shuusuke smiled, "Saa~"

"Eiji-Senpai!"

Both turned to see Ryoma and Momo, the taller of the two ran quickly over to the Dream Pair and pulled Eiji down with an arm over his neck.

"This going to be great; I'm stoked! Echizen was sleeping though, this kid...he lacks all forms of motivation, haa."

Shuusuke smiled, looking to Ryoma who yawned with sleepy tears in his eyes. "Why so tired?"

"...Ah...Okaa-San had me and my cousin doing extra chores since this morning, I was taking a small...catnap." He blushed and pulled his hat down when an arm round itself around his shoulders.

"Ochibi-kun, Kawaii! Haha~!" Eiji hung on the smaller boy for a moment when he heard something from behind.

"I didn't want to think about it, but I guess it's true."

"Who would have thought...one of the Tennis Regulars, and Eiji at that."

Eiji let go of Ryoma and looked at the two guys whispering behind them, they were from, "...Nani?"

"Oi!" Momo walked over and popped both roughly on their heads, "What's the secret?"

"Ah...Momo-Senpai! Oh, uh...mm."

Neither spoke.

"I know what the secret is."

Eiji jumped and turned in surprise, "Kagome-Senpai!"

"Told you once already, call me Kagome! I'm not your Senpai, we're in the same grade, same class. Ohayo, Fuji-San." Kagome waved as she walked over to the group. Not many knew her, but those who did were whispering up a storm.

Shuusuke smiled once more, nodding his head to Kagome. "Ohayo, Higurashi-San."

"Nai, Eiji-Kun, you never told me you were seeing a guy from the regulars."

Eiji's eyes widened, "E-EHH~!?"

Kagome nodded, "According to the girls and these boys, you are...in a word, gay. So..." she walked over to him until her nose was touching his. "Explain!"

"I...I don't know!" Eiji looked confused, he didn't know where these rumors had originated from, but they could return back to that place immediately!

Kagome turned to the two boys, a cold glare in her eyes, "Who started the rumor?"

"...I...It was...H-Horio-San...and Tomoka-San..."

"...who?"

A soft growl came from next to her and she turned to see a red faced Eiji looking at two first years. "BAKA! Baka, Baka, Baka!" He yelled out childishly. "Why would you two start such a horrible rumor!?"

Kagome walked over to the duo who looked equally unsure of what to say. Sighing, Kagome got down on her knees before them and smiled, "What made you think he was seeing someone in the Regulars team?"

Tomoka looked uncertainly at Horio who was looking down at his feet, finally, the girl muttered, "W-we saw him kissing someone in the regular's jacket...we were talking about it, and were overheard. It was a mistake, and we never meant for it to become a rumor!"

Kagome looked at the two blankly for a moment before laughing, "When it was raining?"

The two looked at her and nodded.

Standing, Kagome stepped over to Eiji and took his hand in hers, pulling him a bit, he stumbled forward and she caught his lips against hers. The kiss lasted for only a moment, but it was a sufficient amount of time for her to unzip his jacket and pull it from his shoulders. She broke apart, and took the jacket from him and pulled it on. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you only saw the jacket on the person he was kissing, you never actually saw...who he was kissing though...did you?"

Both blushed brightly, shaking their heads, they bowed apologetically to Eiji who sighed, scratching the back of his head as he pouted.

"Next time, don't go around randomly starting rumors...that's not nice..."

Kagome smiled, her phone buzzed in her pocket and she pulled it out, flipping it open, she answered, "Moshi, Mosh—"

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU! ONE OF THE TEAMS HAD TO FORFEIT FROM AN INJURY! WE ARE UP IN TWENTY MINUTES!"

Kagome held the phone away from her ears and cringed, placing the phone back to her ear, "...ah, I have to run! I'll be there soon! Stall!" She closed her phone and made to leave when someone's chest stopped her and she fell backwards into Eiji's arms.

"Ore-Sama couldn't help but overhearing your dilemma, if you wish, you may take Ore-Sama's car to your destination."

"Ah...i-is that really okay?"

"Of course." He pointed to the extremely long stretch limo that he and his team had arrived in just a few minutes ago, in time to see the exchange between Kagome and Eiji take place.

"Oh, thank you!" Kagome ran quickly past him and waved a quick farewell to Eiji who grinned.

"Bai, bai!" He waved back as she disappeared into the limo which quickly departed for her competition.

"..."

Eiji turned to see everyone staring at him and laughed nervously, "N-nani?"

"Nai, Eiji-Senpai..." Momo looked at the older boy, "You never told us you were dating such a cute girl..."

Eiji blinked a few times, "...e-ehhhHH!?"
