Adoption Of A Neko

But when she does get adopted into a big loving family, she doesn't know how to act. She was no longer Kagome Higurashi, abandoned child, she was now Kagome Kikumaru, little sister of Eiji Kikumaru, and new student at Seigaku middle school.

Kagome blinked, "Doing it wrong?" She didn't know how she was doing it wrong. She frowned as she looked at the tennis ball, and then to her racquet.

The boy sighed setting his tennis bag and book bag down, before walking closer to her and taking the tennis ball out of her hand.

"..bend your arm a bit and make sure you are slightly facing forward, but not all the way." Green Eyes told her, causing her to blink before registering what he said.

"H-hai!" Kagome bent her arm she was holding the tennis racquet in and turned her body slightly.

The boy, Green Eyes, sighed before Kagome felt something kick her feet further apart, "Your feet should never be that close together...unless you want to eat dirt later in the match."

Kagome nodded, and squeaked when she felt hands on her waist move her hips so that they were at an angle, "Never stay fully straight, you want to be able to move in either direction at any given point."

The boy stepped back and gave her the ball, "Now try."

Kagome took the ball and threw it up into the air, as she went to hit it she ended up missing again.

She heard chuckling behind her, "You're still doing it wrong."

The boy picked up a tennis ball off the ground and moved closer to her so that his chest was against Kagome's and placed his hand on hers so that it overlapped hers on the tennis racquet. The boy threw the ball up in the air and led Kagome through the movement to hit the ball against the wall. The ball went through the air and hit the wall that was on the other side of the tennis court.

With wide eyes Kagome turned around as the boy took a step back from her.

"Now do you see? Try that. Don't look around for the ball, feel it in the air." The boy picked up another ball off the ground and handed it to her, "Now you try."

Kagome nodded, and took the ball and got into the right position he had put her in before. Taking a deep breath she threw the ball in the air and waited for a couple seconds before moving her arm and hit.

The ball went through the air; Kagome could only look with wide eyes when she heard the sound of the ball hitting the strings of the racquet.

"Yatta!" Kagome smiled eyes wide with joy. She had hit it! She hit the ball! She quickly turned around and looked at the boy who had helped her with a bright smile on her face.

"Thank you! Thank you very much!" Kagome was happy, she had gotten somewhere!

The boy smirked, "How long have you been at this?" He could tell she had been here for a while. She was sweating and he could tell she'd been really irritated at trying to hit the ball when he'd arrived.

Kagome looked at the ground, "..about a half hour or so..." She paused looking up at the green eyed boy again. "I just started learning tennis today..." She was trying to justify why she was so horrible...and she knew she was.

Kagome had a lot of practice to do to get strong or even play a good match with anyone.

"Hmmmm" The boy gave her a calculating look, as if trying to place something.

Kagome fidgeted for a few moments, before she spoke up, "Umm, my name is Kikumaru, Kagome...thank you for helping me..." She gave a small bow to the boy who stood in front of her.

"Kikumaru?" Green eyes questioned, eyes narrowing. He knew that name. It was the same name from one of the Seigaku players.

Kagome blinked, "Um yes...?" She didn't understand why he looked threatened by her name.

"Any relationship to Seigaku?"

Kagome nodded, "My Aniki plays on the Seigaku tennis team...if that is what you mean..." Did he know her brother in some way?

The green eyes narrowed, "Why isn't your brother teaching you then?" It came out in a sneer, but Kagome didn't take it too heart.

Biting her lip she held her head high, "I don't need my Aniki to teach me...besides I want to get stronger on my own...not because of him...and I only have a week to play a decent game..."

The boy looked at her for a few minutes as if trying to see if she was telling the truth before he smirked, "You want to get stronger, hmmm." A gleam came into his eyes, "Well, the name's Kirihara, Akaya...and from now on, I am going to be teaching you how to play tennis...let's see if you are serious about getting stronger...Kagome-Chan."
