~..Chapter 3..~
After the out burst the courts were oddly silent. The members were watching them curiously wondering what the yelling was about. It was not every day that the regulars randomly yelled things out in shock unless the shock was drinking Inui's newest creation of juices. But aside from that, there was nothing.
Seeing the looks directed towards them, Tezuka placed a hand up silencing what would be a round of questions. He didn't want to have this conversation out in the open especially since they were disrupting practice, "Let's take this to the club room!" he declared as he turned on his heels and headed towards the locker room reserved for the regulars only. and there manager, with his team following behind him obediently, while casting curious glances behind them, towards the twins. It was fascinating really, who would have guessed that their little baby was a twin. Certainly not them, that was for sure.
Seeing their senpai's staring at them, they decided play with them. So, Ryoma smirked at them while Kagome just smiled, a smile that frightening made the regulars think of their very own sadist. Oishi, Eiji, Taka, Inui, Kaidoh and Momoshiro turned to look at Fuji who was humming while walking a bit in front of them and in the back of Tezuka, and a smile on his lips while his eyes were closed.
"Scary." commented Momoshiro as he glanced from Ryoma's twin to Fuji and back again. "I don't think Seigaku can handle another Fuji-senpai."
Hearing the comment the second year made, the light brown haired tensai turned to look at him, "Did you say something, Momoshiro?" questioned Fuji staring at his kohai with a smile, the blue diamonds of his eyes barely peeking out from beneath his lashes.
The dunk smash player shook his head and flat out denied saying anything to which Fuji just hummed and turned back around to continue his trek towards the clubroom. Seeing that he was no longer the center of his sadistic senpai's attention, Momoshiro sighed in relief. he really thought Fuji was about to attack him.
Upon reaching the clubroom, and after everyone took their seats, minus Ryuuzaki-sensei who stayed behind to watch over the rest of the club, Tezuka cleared his throat and was about to address his team, but before he could say anything two of Seigaku's hyperactive males burst out with questions of their own.
"I didn't know you had a twin, brat! Why didn't you tell us?" called Momoshiro
The red head acrobat was quick to jump in and add his own two cents as well, "Yay, ochibi, why didn't you tell us, nya?" Eiji shouted from his position beside Oishi.
"Yon never asked." was Ryoma's simple response as he glanced at his senpai's from beneath unruly bangs, a smirk tugging at his lips
A soft chuckle was heard, "Saa...do you play tennis?" asked Fuji turning his attention towards Kagome, after his amusement with what Ryoma said ceased, and noticed the tennis bag hanging from her shoulder.
Kagome hummed, a smirk gracing her lips as she glanced from her bag before looking towards her brother. The regulars couldn't help but notice how much their smirks looked oddly alike but they brushed it off thinking that them being twins had something to do with it.
"Maybe her and ochibi could have a match, nya?"
The statement earned several agreements. Everyone did want to see a match like that. Was there someone as good as Ryoma, who could match the prodigy in skill. It would be interesting to see and they couldn't deny that.
"Yeah. That would be a good match don't you think." whispered Taka
"It would be a good time to gather some interesting data" commented Inui pushing his glasses up.
Not really in the mood to play a game at the moment Kagome waved the comment off, "Maybe later!" she amended which earned several groans of disappointed, the loudest being done by Momoshiro and Eiji.
Voices talking quite loudly caused the group to look out of the window and watched as the members of the tennis club left the courts.
"Ryuuzaki-sensei let practice out." commented Eiji bouncing in his seat before wrapping his arms around his double partners asking the vice captain why their coach at release everyone early to which the motherly male shook his head and told the cat-like acrobat he didn't know why.
Kagome turned so she was facing the red head and told him something that caused his to get this big smile on his face before he leaped over and hugged the girl disguised as a boy, and began chatting excitedly with her which caused Momoshiro, Taka and Oishi to join in as well.
Ryoma looked at his twin sister, and unconsciously smiled. He was really happy that his sister was getting along well with his friends and teammates. The small twist to his lips didn't go unnoticed by the more keen observers who had easily caught such a rare expression.
Fuji couldn't help but let his smile widen, Inui took data and Tezuka's eyes softened at the sight.
Ryoma tugged at his cap. He had really missed his sister. The last time they had seen each other was when they were twelve, before Ryoma started at Seigaku and became to busy to visit, than afterwards he returned to America with their parents to play in the U.S. Open. They spoke constantly, via phones and emails whenever they could but talking and seeing each other were quite different.
Golden brown eyes took in the changes to his sisters form and inwardly growled. Kagome had always been beautiful but now she was breathtakingly gorgeous. The fantasy of all men alike, and some woman, just like he knew woman fancied him, and men as well, he just chose to play the oblivious card.
"Hey Kagome?"
Kagome turned and smiled at her brother. She had missed him greatly, she watched him on the television, seen him in the sports weekly magazine and spoke to him whenever she had the time to but seeing him in person after three years, well, she was deliriously happy.
"Yes what is it, Ryo-chan?"
"You want to go to the street courts, later. I want to have a match with you!" declared Ryoma with a small smirk
Kagome just continued to smile before nodding her head. "I have to call to confirm this with my aniki first though."
Ryoma rose an eyebrow in curiosity. "What aniki?"
"He adopted me a while ago. I'm staying with him for the time being. You'll meet him when he comes to pick me up. I'm staying with him." replied Kagome as she grabbed her bag and opened the smallest pocket. Her eyes widened in surprise though when instead of being met with a single dark blue Nokia phone, she saw two apple iphone 3gs in it's place. One was black and silver while the other was black and purple. Gaping slightly she grabbed the note that was posted upon one of the cell phone covers.
Kagome,
Just thought you and your brother could use a better means to communicate, so I got both of you the newest phone out.
I'll see you later,
Sesshoumaru.
Ryoma looked worried at his sister. "Kagome, are you alright?"
"I have the coolest aniki ever." Kagome cheered as she grabbed the black and silver phone and tossed it towards Ryoma who caught it expertly, while she pulled out the black and purple phone and quickly pushed in her brothers office number. She couldn't believe he actually got her the phone and what's more he brought one for her brother as well.
Hearing the click, signifying someone had answered she waited till the secretary said her customary greeting before she spoke asking to speak with 'Sesshoumaru Taishou'. Upon hearing her voice and knowing she was not a business partner of Sesshoumaru the secretaries voice turned from professionally polite to a snobby high class bitch as she told Kagome that, 'Mr. Taishou is a very busy man and doesn't have the time to waste on little girls.
Growling into the receiver Kagome narrowed her eyes and told the woman that Sesshoumaru would want to speak to her. Upon hearing that the woman went off ranting about this and that and how Mr. Taishou will not tolerate gold digging whores calling him at work and interrupting him.
The reply alone had Kagome clutching at the phone in her hand as she bared impressive looking teeth at nobody in particular though, the regulars had a feeling that the look was for the person who was denying her the right to speak with her brother. And by how the person was treating kagome, they had a feeling the person on the other side of the phone was a woman...a jealous woman who was giving kagome trouble, "Listen, I can have you fired if I so much as breathed this to him."
The regulars shared a look before looking towards Ryoma who was watching his 'brother' intently. They turned their attention back towards kagome when they heard him utter his name, 'Echizen Kagome' before pausing to listen to whatever else was being said. And than they heard him say whatever' and another pause and than a grunt was issued.
Kagome released a sigh when the woman's voice could be heard telling her brother that she was on the phone and neary snickered when Sesshoumaru told the bitch to put her through and the next time she dared to speak badly to anyone that was calling to speak to him again that she would be fired. Especially the person she was insulting and causing problems happen to be his sister.
The regulars and Ryoma just blinked at Kagome when they saw the smile and decided it was best that they didn't know what happened to cause such a smile to come upon her face, though Fuji and Inui did look curious about it. It was than that they remembered that kagome had tossed her brother something and they glanced at the boys hand.
"Wow, cool phone ochibi, nya!" called Eiji
Ryoma stared at the phone in his hand before once again staring at his sister, wondering who was this brother of hers that could afford to buy such an ecpensive phone. Seeing his senpai's curious expression, Ryoma smirked and held the device out so the red head could look at it. His Eiji didn't just look and sound like a cat, he even had traits found in cats such as their curiousity. It made him think that his senpai might have been a cat in his past life, but than again, he had no room to talk, as he too, could be compared to a cat.
"Aniki, thanks for the phones. Your the greatest." Kagome's voice caused them to look over at the younger Echizen who seemed to be listening intently to whatever this aniki of hers was telling her, before she nodded her head, "Will it be alright for me to hang out with Ryo-chan and his teammates at the street courts."
Another pause as they waited to see how her brother will take the news. They hoped he agreed to let Kagome go with them it will give them a chance to get to know their baby boy's sibling better. And vice versa as well. The news must have been good because a big grin erupted on her face as she wished her brother a good day and hung up the phone, facing them she told them that she could come with them and that he will pick her up later at the courts.
"Great let's go, nya" Cheered Eiji as he grabbed Oishi and started dragging him out of the clubroom and towards the gates with that the rest of the regulars plus Kagome following behind them.
Hope you like.
