Bachelorette
Chapter Seven: Part Two

Everything that was in her mind suddenly disappeared as the thought of relaxation took hold. Kagome slowly dipped her entire body into the liquid of water and felt every inch of her body be surrounded. Her eyes shut enjoying the moment of the sun basking down on her face, her dry lips edged into a rough smile.

"Attention!" Kagome snapped her eyes open and wizzed her head around seeing the host stand there grinning broadly with a ball wrapped between his two hands. Everyone was cocking their head in curiosity to what the announcement would hold. The host nodded his head towards the girl in the pool, acknowledging her, and tossed her the ball which Kagome now realized was a Volleyball. To her dismay the ball came rather fast and skidded into her body.

He then continued with his announcement. "As some fun for this evening, we will now hold a Volleyball game in this here pool. Teams will be drawn out of this hat." He walked back into the house and soon reappeared with a black hat at his side.

Some of the men groaned rather loudly as others scurried over to the hat eagerly snatching the folded paper within. Kagome pulled herself out of the water, also retreating to where everyone was found.

"All right I got Kagome's team!" One person yelled as he threw the paper above his head. Some weren't so lucky as they swallowed their hope and traveled to one side of the pool.

*

Right side of the pool, also called "Kagome's team":
-Inuyasha
-Miroku
-Naraku
-5 other "lucky men" as they called themselves.

Left side of the pool, also called "Not Kagomes team":
-Sesshoumaru
-Nobunaga
-Hojo
-Kouga
-4 other "non lucky bastards" as they called themselves.

Everyone scrambled to the correct positions, although there were more people on each side then professional they would all manage.

"Do we all have to play this stupid game?!" Inuyasha barked as he forced a toe into the water, seen immediately poking his toe out glaring at the water like it was evil.

Kagome turned to look at him with pleading in her eyes. "Come on it won't be that bad, besides I'm not that bad at Volleyball so maybe you won't have to touch the ball as much as you think."

Inuyasha just shot her a nasty look. "I'm not scared of the ball!"

Kouga flashed around behind the half-demon and shoved him into the water, snickering like mad. "But you're scared of the water puppy?" Inuyasha threw his head back, appearing from the watery scene with his hair wet, and drips of water scooting down his angry face. Kouga just laughed his way back to his position with everyone else laughing with him.

"Gimme that ball!" Inuyasha snatched it from Kagome tossing it into the air. "Are we all ready because I'm serving first!" He threw it up high before it lazily came down, Inuyasha pulled his arm back and heaved it forward smacking nothing but the water which met his hit, splashing a few feet around him.

More laughs erupted.

"Shut UP!" Inuyasha growled as he threw it again this time reaching success as the ball met his hand and flew across the pools surface gaining height before lowering itself mightily slamming into the hysterical face of Kouga. Who in return, only rubbed his head sneering at the one who did the fault.

"Why you MUTT!" He snarled ready to do a serve back at him but a hand snatched his bulging wrist.

"Ah, ah, ah." Nobunaga said shaking a finger back and forth in a T'sking way. "They won the point so Inuyasha gets to serve again. Unless you don't play by the rules." Kouga lowered the ball and tossed back over to the other side muttering that he only didn't react for Kagome was watching and he didn't want to risk her danger.

"That's a good wolf." Inuyasha smiled. "This sport isn't so bad after you get used to it."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "You mean it isn't so bad after violently serving the ball so someone gets injured?" She stood there with hands on her hips disapproving on how the tow acted towards each other. Would those two ever grow up?

"Those two will never cease to amaze how well they don't grow up. Acting like toddlers wouldn't you say Lady Kagome?" Miroku said wafting up to her and placing a hand on her waist pulling her closer to him. By this time Kagome didn't have time to answer for Inuyasha had served the ball and now it was heading towards herself. She only leaned forward and cupped her hands together letting the ball bound from the middle of her arms.

The ball soared right to Naraku who looked up smacking the ball down on the opponents side of the field. His eyes showed now mercy or excitement at all. "Pity for the one who has to feel that one." He said deeply lowering his arms.

No one had to feel it for they all ducked into the water or screamed bloody murder to get out of the way. Only Sesshoumaru and Kouga decided to step up and have a try at getting to it, but no luck whatsoever.

"First to fifteen!" Declared Kagome smiling happily. "And we already have nine points, good serves Inuyasha!"

*

Kagome's Team: 14 Points.
Not Kagome's Team: 0 Points.

"Heh! You guys prepare to suffer inconsequentially! And all that blah!" Inuyasha said shocked that he even knew that word before serving the ball right into the net. "Goddamn this sport!" He cursed as the other team smiled with relief, now the knew they could go down without a fight at least.

"It's the curse of the 14 I tell you!" One of the men piped up.

"Shaddup and get ready!" Another barked back.

Hojo grabbed the ball in front of him and spiraled it around for a few seconds before starting to blow on it. "And you honestly think something magical is going to happen with the slightest touch of your human breath?" Sesshoumaru said smartly.

"As a matter of fact I do!" Hojo said cockily as he tossed the ball and swung with his might, hitting the ball, but hitting the ball out of bounds and knocking into some standing wine glasses. "Do not think that something magical will happen, as proven here." He lowered his eyes as Kagome called back saying how good of a try it was anyway. A hot blush crept to his cheeks.

"Thanks pretty boy! Now it's their turn to serve!" Kouga yelled back throwing his hands into the air. This seemed faultless for Kagome was up.

They either lost for Kagomes skill in Volleyball.

Or they just let them win for Kagome was serving. Though they all agreed that it Kagomes strong skill that beat them. Yeah right.
