PLESE REVIEW!!!
Chapter 39
Tanya hung the picture of the sleeping couple next to the last one they had taken of them.
She admired her work.
The new picture read, "Sweet dreams! We caught you again! Happy Christmas Eve!"
She laughed again and left the room. 'Wonder how many more times I'll be able to do this!'
^_^
"They did it again didn't they?"
"Yep," Kat said while stretching.
"Hungry?"
"Sure."
A plate of steaming orange chicken appeared next to her.
Kat picked up the pair of chopsticks on the side of the tray and grabbed a huge piece.
"You hungry?" she asked.
He opened his mouth to speak and Kat shoved the large piece in it.
His golden eyes blazed at her as he tried to chew the piece.
Kageunsei came out and lay in the sun on the porch.
"Feeling better?" Kat asked trying to sound cheery.
The wolf nodded slightly and Kat poked him in the ribs.
The wolf opened his mouth to growl and Kat shoved a massive piece of chicken into it.
Two pairs of golden eyes glared at her while trying to chew the tangy chicken.
"Like it?" Kat asked.
They continued to glare at her.
"Oh come on! Cheer up!" she said.
They ignored her.
Mayonaka came out to join them, "Morning."
Kat nodded to him.
Inuyasha came out with Tanya hiding behind him, "Please don't kill us!"
Kat glared, "Well, since its Christmas Eve, I'll let you off the hook but that doesn't mean Kenshin will."
Tanya laughed nervously, "Hope he does."
The others sat on the porch steps sipping tea and coffee.
Kageunsei continued to stare off into the distance.
"Anyone up for a game of volleyball?" Kat asked.
"Sure," everyone mumbled.
Kat poked Kenshin he nodded and a net appeared.
Sand appeared around the net and a ball dropped into the sand from out of no where.
Kat stood up and walked to the area when she looked back she saw everyone still sitting on the porch, "I can't play by myself!"
"How can she be so cheery?" Inuyasha asked.
"Isn't that why everyone likes her? After all that's happened she's still cheery," Tanya said standing up to join her best friend.
The hitokiri stood up, "That's one of the reasons why I like her, I probably never will find out what makes her so happy though."
Inuyasha followed him out to the court.
Mayonaka sighed, "I'm always left out aren't I?"
Kat, Kenshin and Mayonaka were on one team Tanya and Inuyasha were on the other.
Kageunsei watched the game from the porch.
"Zero serving zero," Kat announced as she served the ball.
It flew over the net and Tanya bumped it back over.
Mayonaka bumped it to Kenshin and he managed to get back over.
Tanya jumped up and spiked it.
The ball hit the sand on Kat's side between Mayonaka and Kenshin.
Mayonaka glared at Kenshin, "That was yours!"
Kenshin glared back, "It landed closer to you."
Kat picked up the ball and threw it at Kenshin to make them stop fighting.
He caught it and tossed it under the net to Inuyasha without taking his eyes off his son.
Inuyasha tossed the ball to Tanya and she tried serving it.
The ball landed about three feet away from her and Inuyasha growled, "You missed!"
Tanya stared blankly at the ball.
"On come on, go easy on her! She gets a mulligan!" Kat said.
"A mulligan?" Mayonaka asked.
"A do over, you know?" Kat asked.
"Doesn't that have to do with golf?" he asked.
Kat shrugged, "You get the point."
Inuyasha tossed the ball to Tanya, "Get it over the net this time!"
Tanya glared at him before serving the ball.
It grazed the net and landed on Kat's side.
"Should we give her another mulligan?" Inuyasha asked.
"Net balls are good only on a serve," Kat said.
They tossed the ball back to Tanya who just barely managed to get it back over.
Mayonaka bumped it high into the air.
"I got it!" Inuyasha yelled.
He made to spike it and that's just what he did.
"Way to go dog boy!" Kat said, "There's a difference between spiking the ball and impaling it."
"He needs his nails clipped," Tanya said.
Inuyasha growled, "I'm not a dog, I'm a dog DEMON!"
"Whatever," Kenshin muttered, "Our serve."
"Rotate!" Kat said, shoving Mayonaka in the right direction.
He fell over face first into the sand.
A ball appeared in Kenshin's hand and he spiked it over.
And so began the strangest volleyball game in history.
(A/N: That's a lot like how my family plays volleyball. (Very dysfunctional… -_- jk) PLEASE REVIEW!!!)
