teammates.
It was impossible.
Sesshoumaru was, she realized, a hopeless case.
Miroku and Sango already scored six points while they were at nothing.
"Sesshoumaru, see, you hit the damn ball towards your opponent, not millions of miles away from them!"
He regarded her with a frigid mien. "Would it not be more logical to make it impossible for the enemy to hit the ball? They would not be able to send it back and shall be forced to admit defeat, if so."
"Gods, Sesshoumaru, this is a game, not some on-field battle! We are a team! If you don't listen to me, we're definitely bound to lose."
Lose? Sesshoumaru didn't like the word. True, the game was idiotic. He couldn't decipher the purpose of playing it but he can't let his pride be stained with defeat.
"Okay, let's do it again!" Kagome said to Miroku, who was ready to serve the white ping-pong ball.
"If you say so, Kagome," he said, though with nervousness and worry as he didn't want to receive any possible fruits of rage from the almighty demon lord.
He looked at Sango for some support. After all, he wasn't the only one blackmailed into playing.
He let the ball drop and hit it far enough to go over the low net and to the opposite side of the table. Sesshoumaru received it with perfect grace, hitting the ball back to him in the process.
A loud thud was followed by the frozen face of Sango and a few seconds of an opened-mouthed Kagome. Sesshoumaru's face held no indications of any emotion despite the fact that he was pleased by his course of action.
"Geez, Sesshoumaru, you didn't have to hit his face!"
scolded the raven-haired miko.
Chapter eleven end.
