Tenisu Kisaki
Summary:
Oishi brings his lovable cousin to practice with the Seigaku team, the same one who taught him how to play! She tears apart the court and demolishes the Seigaku team, even the young Echizen. Her transfer to the school begins a heated battle between two prodigies. Shusuke Fuji and Kagome Higurashi.
Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever, own any part of InuYasha or Prince of Tennis; no matter how much I wish otherwise.
'Ever since we left the shrine I've had this strange chill running down my spine.' Kagome mused worriedly, her slender fingers tapping her leg in rhythm with the beat of the American song playing in her ears.
When the team had reentered the bus, seat switches were made. Eiji switched with Fuji, who switched Momo, and again had to switch with her seatmate Oishi. And once the bus started moving she had no chance to switch seats herself.
Thank god they only had five more minutes until they reached the camp. Fuji had decided to occupy himself by playing a one-sided game of twenty questions with her. Usually she would happily play along but right now she just wanted to think, mainly about her family.
'God, why am I lying to myself? I haven't thought of Mama, Souta, or Gramps since we left. Only Yuka and Ayumi and the team…' Kagome shook her head to no prevail. She couldn't get Ayumi and the hurtful words that were thrown at her out of her head. Ayumi had been Kagome's friend once, but changed ever since Kagome 'stole' the boy she liked from the boys team at Sanatoria. Kagome hadn't even liked the damn guy! But Ayumi decided that it was all Kagome's fault and started spreading vicious rumors and began attempting to overthrow Kagome as team captain. Which, apparently, once she left Ayumi's poisonous words wormed their way into the team's head and finally did Ayumi get what she wanted. Too bad Kagome was already gone by the time that had happened.
Kagome let out a huge, depressed sigh. She watched and counted the trees as they flew by, not noticing the strange looks she was getting from her friends, Kagome continued in her mini pity party inside of her own head.
"Is she okay Fujiko?" Eiji whispered from across the aisle, afraid to break Kagome out of whatever trance she was in.
"I don't know Eijiko." Fuji whispered back, sorely tempted to poke Kagome's cheek and annoy her.
"Well, she should cheer up once we get to the camp. She always did love the outdoors." Oishi put in from behind them. Just as he said that Kagome's face brightened somewhat and she opened the window, letting the fresh smell of wild forest into the bus.
Everyone breathed in the fresh air as it circled through the bus, driving out the stuffy and humid air they had all been stuck breathing for the past two hours. Kagome let out a content sigh as the fresh air reminded her somewhat of her times in the feudal era, though the air was even cleaner then.
"Just around this next bend guys and we're at the camp. Get ready to unload and get straight to work." Ryuzaki called from the front as everyone started packing everything up.
"Finally! We can get out of here and get some work done." Oishi stretched, a smile located on his face as usual. When the bus did stop, Eiji barreled out of the bus, hitting people in the head with his bag carelessly.
"What am I going to do with him?" sighed the other half of the Golden Pair.
"He'd make a very nice throw rug." Kagome suggested off handedly as she walked down the aisle to exit the bus much more calmly then her friend.
"KAGOME!" came from Oishi, Ryuzaki, and Momo.
"What?" She laughed as she stretched. "Just think, every time he gets dirty you can take him out and beat him." The reaction was instantaneous as the team laughed and Kagome took off running from the irate red head.
The first impression of the cabin was 'haunted' for the majority of the team. Especially when the first years scared the crap out of the team but once Kagome looked around, she ushered everyone out of the cabin, even the freshmen who were supposed to do this job, and set to work.
"Now, for some music and then to make this place livable." She mused to herself as she set up a boom box in what was going to be the living room after the furniture was cleaned up and the cobwebs were gone…and it was dusted, aired out, and the windows washed, cooking to be done…
So much work, so little time
Cranking the music high, Kagome set to work. Singing along and dancing around while cleaning to some American singer named Adam Lambert. The lyrics were very dirty but it was good working music so she left it on, despite blushing at parts in 'For your Entertainment'.
'I wonder how long it's been since somebody's been in here?' Kagome thought as she dusted. She was cleaning at top speed, going through each room faster than any professional maid could. 'It kind of reminds me of that haunted mansion that Naraku resided in for a bit…'
Her thoughts turned towards her feudal adventures as she started cooking. Her time there had been among the most terrifying and yet wonderful days of her life. InuYasha was a irreplaceable brother, after she got over the fact that he couldn't love her the way she had loved him at first. Shippo was her one and only son, oh how she missed her baby. Kirara, the trustworthy companion who could never be replaced. Sango was the sister she never had, and Miroku was more of a cousin who she could trust with everything.
Kind of weird that her sister had planned on marrying her cousin
But it was never meant to be for the group. The final battle had ended up killing everyone in some way, except for the Ice Lord of the West. InuYasha died after a change of heart as he was pierced in the forehead by a tentacle aiming for Sesshoumaru's back. Kirara was obliterated to the point that all that remained was cream colored patches of fur stained dark with blood.
Sango, mad with rage from the sight of her dear friend blown to pieces, went on a rampage. Killing everything that stood in her way, but she could not bring herself to kill her brother who had tormented her dreams and worried brain since the woman had joined the group. He killed her with her own sword, tears flowing from his eyes as he did so. Naraku freed the boy just as his sister died, further creating that rift between sanity and insanity.
Miroku was killed trying to save Sango when Kanna and Hakudoshi stuck him down combing their powers of destruction and void. And Shippo…dear sweet, innocent, Shippo, who had been left behind for safety turned into the key for unlocking Kagome's dormant powers and rage as she watched Naraku mutilate his small body in front of her eyes as Sesshoumaru held her back from getting killed herself.
Tears began falling silently from Kagome's eyes as she relived that day. It was by far the worst day of her life and the images that were forever ingrained into her mind replayed it all scene by scene.
It wasn't until two strong arms wrapped around her did she realize that she was not only on the floor, but crying as well. All she could do by then was turn and bury her face into the chest of her comforter.
Dark blue eyes studied the girl in his arms as he rubbed her back soothingly as he did for his sister whenever a relationship went sour or a horrid memory resurfaced. All Fuji could do is wonder what put this girl into such a fit of tears.
I swear I feel the murderous intent rolling off my computer right now. I am sooooo sorry for the lack of updates. But moving houses does that to people. In the midst of the moving I forgot not only to update, but what my password to my account was. Though I don't blame anyone who has given up on my stories after so long, I do apologize for the wait.
But now that it's not only Spring Break, but I also have a good computer and remember all my passwords, I should be pumping out chapters just a bit faster. =}

I wonder if any of you noticed my tribute to Adam Lambert up there, but it's there XD
I was listening to the CD as I wrote this and decided 'what the hey, let's throw Adam in there'
