Chapter 3: baseball game
The day wasn't turning out how Kagome expected. It was half amusing but freaky to. First it was meeting Kikyo, then the weird dream, the introducing of Miroku was very amusing but freaky at how perverted he is and how hard Sango could punch. Now Sango, Kagome and Kikyo were in the same gym class for the last period and frankly Kagome wanted this to end.
She never noticed Kikyo in her class and she wish she still hadn't. Talk about being competitive. Every game had turned into a competition.
'I can't take much more of this'
"It seems you and Kikyo have gotten off on the worst foot possible." Sango joked as the class was called outside. Kagome could only give a faint growl to respond to Sango's comment. Sango could see that Kagome was exhausted, probably from so many races with Kikyo and vault jumps. It bothered her that her best friend was making enemies with a dangerous girl like Kikyo "You should be careful with Kikyo. She can be deadly if you piss her off too much. What makes her so dangerous is not that she's just a powerful miko but that she knows it." Sango finished looking to receive a comment from the girl beside her. Kagome merely looked ahead of her. "She's not the only miko here but I'll take it easy with her. I'm not that stupid to go against someone I'm not ready for." Kagome said. "And besides she'd probably kill me any chance she'd get." The two girls chuckled a bit knowing hat with Kikyo it was probably true. The two walked closer to the group as the teacher began to talk. "Last thing we need is you getting killed in gym" chuckled Sango.
"Alright girls today we're going to start playing baseball. Nanashi- san will start as pitcher for Team A ."
Oh crud.
To Kagome's great luck she was put in team B and was up to bat. Yes sometimes Kagome wished to express her love for this life with a simple word starting with the wonderful letter F. Kagome thought of this word as she picked out a bat from a variety of broken ones, unknowing that someone came up towards her. Kagome only noticed Kikyo beside her a second later. When Kikyo smiled it didn't mean something good was going to happen. Kikyo merely picked up a glove. "Let's hope you don't end up in the nurse's after this girl." Said Kikyo.
Kagome was thinking of another wonderful little word now starting with B but she just took a bat and walked out letting Kikyo hear "Just try and strike me out."
"Take me out to the ball game."
Kagome sang quietly to relieve some nervousness from her as she step up to base.
"Take me out to the crowd."
The girl looked around just to remember this place before something ugly happens and she can't remember how to get to her locker.
The sun was bright and moving to the center of her vision. 'It's going to be hard to see the ball' she thought. She adjusted her position and helmet. She had a feeling she would need it. The teacher called for the game to begin and Kikyo wasted no time. With inhuman strength the pitcher whipped the ball to the catcher (I don't know the name of this player) before Kagome could gasp.
"Strike one!"
'Okay this is going to be tougher than I thought.' She turned to see Sango in the field with her mouth open in shock. The poor girl who received the ball still hadn't recovered from the force and speed panting on the ground. "Alright Kikyo-san!" Her human teammates, except for Sango, began to cheer for her. When the ball was finally returned to her Kikyo took the smallest pause and again whipped the ball at a break neck speed. The result however was different. With reflexes faster than one knew Kagome returned the force and sent the ball flying.right over the foul line.
"Foul ball! Strike two!"
Sango's mouth stretched further than before at fast Kagome had hit it. No doubt the youkai now thought she was different. But more importantly Kikyo must be pissed! Sure enough unknown to the untrained eye, Kikyo's aura started to glow purple. She seemed to be looking at Kagome's smirk. This did not bode well. Kikyo's attention seemed to be drawn behind her suddenly. Kagome looked in the same direction and noticed a figure sitting on the school gates. Inuyasha. Kikyo looked upon the figure for a few second more to then turn to her target.
'Does he want me to fail?' Thought Kagome.
Kikyo bent down and stood up to throw the ball.
'Is he waiting for it?'
Kikyo threw the ball that now glowed purple towards Kagome.
'I'll prove you wrong!'
CRACK!
The ball flew straight pass Kikyo's stunned face barely missing her and headed straight behind her, straight for Inuyasha. The hanyou barely had time to dodge the blue glowing ball that implanted itself in the tree behind him.
"Damn wench."
At Kagome's side everyone was in a stunned silence. Sango's face mouth was big enough to catch something as big a small bird. The youkai too were silent. Kagome dropped the bat.
'I didn't know..'
A wind danced passed across the students until a cheer interrupted it.
'.that I could do that anymore'
"Way to go Kagome-chan!" Kouga threw his arm up trying to end this tension.
The girl finally jogged to the first, second, third and finally home plate. The people had ended their silence and were now cheering. This game was proving to be different from the other ones.
Bottom of the ninth, 2 outs 'Gods this sounds so used' thought Kagome on second plate. School had ended but the game wore on. Many of the students had decided to watch the outcome. Miaka-chan was on third and just had to make it to home and the game was theirs but if she was out then the game was over. Kikyo was near and probably didn't want that because if Miaka won, then Kagome won.
The ball was hit and Miaka ran for it. Kagome followed towards Kikyo on third plate. Kikyo didn't seem to let Kagome have an easy task of touching the plate, so Kagome decided to give her friend a nudge to get out of the way. Just as she passed third the ball was thrown to Kikyo.
Kikyo had scanned the event. Miaka had already hit home the game was lost but Kagome wasn't just yet. Not wasting time Kikyo ran after Kagome. The said girl shortly noticed she was being followed.
"Crap!"
The two raced for the end trying to reach their destination.
'I'm not going to fail this time.'
Something in Kagome seemed to awaken. The some of crowd cheered for Miaka's victory while others watched the other two who were coming. Kagome seemed to be having trouble and was slightly slowing down.
'no.'
Kikyo decided to get her down before she had a chance to slide home. The two both jump and fell surrounded by a wall of dust. Neither one noticing Kagome was already bleeding.
As the dust settled it showed Kagome flat on her back, a hand touching the plate. Kikyo's legs were on top of Kagome and she had picked up a few scraps. The baseball lay beside her.
Sango ran to help her friend. Quickly she took Kouga's jacket and wrapped it around Kagome before anyone could see the wounds. The crowd stayed behind the gates but still they cheered. Kikyo had hit fallen hard but Kagome took more. Quickly she reached around her neck and found that no jewel lay there.
Kagome tried to sit up but it was hard enough trying to get up with someone's weight on you let alone with wounds. Yet she didn't feel most of the pain. Looking her at her fist she saw a glow. Why was she holding a jewel and why did she feel like she remembered it from somewhere.
"This doesn't belong to you thief." seethed Kikyo as she snatched the jewel from the girl.
Bitch.
Inuyasha walked up towards them as the crowd faded away. Sango was helping Kouga get Kagome on his back since the wounded girl. As the two youkai passed each other, growls were exchanged. Kikyo walked up to Inuyasha as the remaining three left.
"I told you she was dangerous." She said
"She's powerful. I don't think she knows how much." The hanyou replied. "Why did the jewel start glowing Kikyo?"
Kikyo appearance slightly turned angry, she had hoped he didn't noticed, "It sensed I was in danger and protected me from the more dangerous wounds."
Inuyasha looked at her form. She was covered indirt and scrapes covered her. "Here." He bent down and tried to pick Kikyo up
"What are you doing?" she replied.
"I'm going to take you home."
Her face frowned slightly. "Don't be so primitive. I have a car. I'll drive."
The two walked to the driveway until she was in the car.
"I want you to get rid of her Inuyasha." She said as she adjusted her rearview mirror. "You saw how she tried to hurt you. How she tried to hurt me."
"Alright."
As she drove off Kikyo's frown returned. Her hanyou still clinged to his instincts and savage-like traditions. She'll change that. She won't have that for a mate. Her frowned darkened. She used one of his words. This was not good.
"Gomen Kikyo" Inuyasha watched until Kikyo's car left. He looked at the Shikon no Tama and then to the nurse's window where Kagome was resting.
"But I have to find something out."
Ok I'm a bit though the next chapter and I think it'll be done by the end of the week. Thank you for your patience.
