Lucky Number Seven
Chapter FOUR: A Tennis Shoe and Two Black Eyes

By Mel-chan and Ali-chan

Kagome had changed into some running clothes in the school locker room. She was pumped and ready to go. 'I can do this!' she kept thinking. She had tryouts today for the Track team in College.

"I can do this!" she said aloud to herself.

Kagome was currently the only one in the locker room or so she thought. She heard the creak of the door to the locker room. She was currently tying her shoes, when she saw the black-haired head of her neighbor stick out of the door. Kagome was outraged that he would have the nerve to do what he was doing.

"You PERV! This is the GIRLS locker room!" Kagome screamed at him. She then took her other shoe that was sitting on the bench beside her and she threw it at him, but he closed the door to block it, and then opened it back up again.

"I know! Lovely place, don't you think?" Miroku grinned, and then went back outside onto the field closing the door behind him.

Kagome's eyes were wide. "What the hell is HE doing here? He's not trying out is he?"

---Some where down-town...

Sango was at a punching bag strapped to the ceiling. She kept hitting it, and then she would kick it. The punching bag swung back and then swung right towards her again. She repeated the hitting and kicking over and over, until she hit it so hard, and it fell with a large crash, ripping bits of plaster from the ceiling. Everyone looked at her, and Sango blushed. She mumbled an "oops." All of a sudden, a woman called for everyone in the Class 'A' self-defense class to gather around her.

"Ok Everyone, we have a new member. Go on ahead young man." She said and pushed forward a man in a white uniform with a black belt.

"Introduce yourself."

"Feh, I'm Inu Yasha." He began mumbling, "And I transferred from the Youkai Demon Membership from Kagoshima. I am, if you haven't noticed, a black-belt." Inu Yasha added smugly.

"That's wonderful. Now today, you can pair up with partners and practice yesterday's moves. Sango?"

"Yes?" Sango said. She glared at the new member. He was her neighbor. Number Seven.

"Would you please pair up with Inu Yasha, since you are the only black-belt member here, and I think your abilities would be matched."

"Feh, I doubt it. She's a girl..." Inu Yasha remarked under his breath.

"Ya, I'm a girl." Sango had heard what he said. "What's your point. I'll kick your ass." Sango said with a death glare.

They stood on the mat, Inu Yasha in an attack form, and Sango in a defense one.

---Back at TRACK (he he we know... we like cliff hangers)

Everyone was lined up at the starters. Kagome was the in the first group to go. In the 7th row, there was no one lining up. Kagome was in the 6th so she kept wondering where the number 7th lane guy was.

"Ready!" The referee said. Kagome quickly glanced at her shoe one last time, just to make sure she didn't blow her chances and trip. She settled her feet into the starters. One of her feet was farther behind then the other.

"Get set!" Kagome kept repeating the 'I can do it' chant in her mind. She looked up at the black track-lane before her. She breathed in deeply.

"WAIT FOR ME!!!" A man yelled as he ran from the Men's locker room. It was Miroku. Kagome rolled her eyes as he came running up to lane number SEVEN!

"Sorry about that." Miroku said to the coach. He scratched his head apologetically, and then set his own feet in the starters.

"Miss me?" Miroku whispered to Kagome.

"You'll miss me when I'm far ahead of you." Kagome said confidently. Miroku only shrugged.

"Ready! Set! GO!" The coach shouted, which was followed by the blast of a revolver.

---Back at the Martial Arts Center (another cliffy mwah ha ha)

Inu Yasha came running at Sango. He lashed out a punch, but Sango easily dodged it. She bent down and kicked him in the shins, causing him to fall backwards. He quickly jumped to his feet, but by then, Sango was ready for a punch right in the eye. It hit him like a speeding bullet. 'Gosh is this the best he has?' Sango thought.

He clenched his teeth in pain as he fell backwards again, clutching his face. 'Damn her!' he thought.

Sango's hand suddenly felt heavy. She whimpered lightly. 'His head is hard.' Inu Yasha removed his hand to reveal a black eye. Sango was very pleased with herself. She giggled.

"Think that's funny do ya?" Inu Yasha said. His minds eye only saw red as he swiped a blow to her, but caught her left arm instead. Sango growled as she stumbled, but used his momentum to bring her knee up into his belly. Before her knee came in contact with Inu Yasha though, a whistle sounded. They froze.

"Good Show!" the woman yelled and then called everyone back in.

During the rest of the time they were shown a few new moves. Inu Yasha and Sango didn't meet up again as partners, and both were glad of that, yet they gave each other death glares the entire time.

---Back at Track (again)

The race started. Miroku and Kagome were in the middle of the pack, trying to break through. All of a sudden, Kagome felt something on her rear. 'What the heck!' she thought as she realized Miroku was behind her.

She couldn't stop and hit him, so instead she cursed and ran as fast as she could to get away from him. Miroku followed eagerly. Soon she was way in front, taking the lead. Miroku though, was still right behind her.

"MIROKU! HANDS... OFF!" Yelled a fuming Kagome.

"But Kagome, You're so YUMMY!" Miroku said jokingly, but that only pissed off Kagome even more. They were so preoccupied that they didn't notice that the race qualifying for the team was over, but Kagome could care less at the moment. She kept running further and further away from the field, trying to get home.

"KAGOME!!! YOU WON!!" The coach yelled after her. He then heard a faint "ok" off in the distance. Kagome ran all the way home, still followed by Miroku who was hot on her heals.

Inu Yasha and Sango were already home, watching T.V. or listening to music, just lounging around. Kagome burst from the elevator as Miroku came up the stairs.

"Kagome, wait... I'm sorry. I just can't control my cursed hands." Miroku said, trying to act as innocent as possible.

"Bull crap!" Kagome said and opened the door of her apartment and slammed it behind her. Inu Yasha, hearing the slam, and looked out the door of his apartment in confusion.

"What the hell was that about..?" Inu Yasha then saw Miroku smiling.

"I was just getting to know our neighbor lady, Kagome." Miroku replied. Inu Yasha thought. 'Kagome. That is a pretty name.'



"Ya? Well, what's she like?" Inu Yasha asked as they walked into their own room. Miroku sat down on the couch with a sigh.

"Well, she has a great ass." Miroku said with a mischievous glint in his eye. Inu Yasha rolled his eyes. It was then, that Miroku noticed a black ring around Inu Yasha's right eye. "What happened to you?"

"Er... well you see.." Inu Yasha was about to start to explain when a slam issued from the door across the hall, and then a burst from their door. In walked a girl with a low pony tail and a cute butt (noticed by Miroku). She came up to Miroku and punched him in the eye.

"That's for what you did to Kagome!" The girl yelled. She went back to the door, slammed it behind her, then walked to her room, and slammed that door. Inu Yasha sighed and Miroku was unconscious. "That's what happened." Inu Yasha said.

"Wow, What a woman!" Miroku said who was still really dizzy after being punched. They had matching black eyes now.()

But no, the anger wasn't over yet. Kagome suddenly burst into their apartment with a look of anger on her face.

"Whatever happened to knocking?" Inu Yasha grumbled.

"Where is Sango's cat!?" Kagome glared daggers at them, wreathed in flames knowing that they had something to do with her disappearance.

"Is that what that angel's name is?" Miroku said still disoriented. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"We know you have Kirara!" Kagome yelled for a second time, only less angry. She noticed Inu Yasha had his ears flattened, and she felt a little guilty.

"Geez girl! Relax. She's right here!" Inu Yasha said, holding up the half asleep Kirara. Kagome rushed over and gently pulled Kirara out of the man's hands.

"Arigato." She mumbled. And with that, she left their room.
