OKAY THAT'S ALL FOR THE REVIEWS! THANKS AGAIN PEOPLE!!
Kagome stared horror struck at the figure standing across the gym from her. 'Sesshoumaru!' her mind screamed. 'I can't believe this!' she thought bitterly. 'He's in almost every freaking class I have! I swear it's like I'm CURSED or something!!'
Kagome slumped against the wall and slowly slid down until she was sitting down on the floor. She watched dazedly as Sango, along with half of the class, lined up at the large black line surrounding the gyms outer floor. Kagome watched lazily as they ran back and forth between the two lines every time the beep sounded all to aware of two eyes set on her figure from across the gym.
Sango scored a 107, and Kagome gave her a congratulatory smile and patted her on the back. (Omg, whenever I do these I always do the minimum, last time I did like 30. I know, I really put out an effort)
"That was great!" Kagome exclaimed patting her friend on the back. "Man! I'll be lucky if I even get half of what you scored!"
Sango looked Kagome up and down. "Sure, ya, whatever Kagome, but thanks! I could have done more if I wanted to, but hey, who really tries on these anyway?"
Kagome giggled and started walking toward the starting line. "Yeah, Seriously!"
Sango watched as her friend made her way over to the starting line. 'Somehow Kagome,' she thought taking a seat where Kagome had been sitting only moments before, 'I have a feeling you are going to do really good on this test. Legs like that don't come from just the occasional short distance run.'
Kagome took her place at the starting line and waited patiently for the beep to sound.
"Why if it isn't Kagome." Said a monotone voice from behind her. Though she didn't miss the hint of excitement mixed deep within.
"What do you want Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked in a board voice not even bothering to turn around.
"Nothing really, I'm just seriously thinking that you are stalking me now." He stated simply stepping forward to take the position to Kagome's right. With that comment Kagome turned to face him, looking him directly in the eye.
"Why Sesshoumaru," she said sweetly batting her eyes lashes, "If I was going to stalk someone, I would make sure they were at least good looking." It was a strait out lie, Kagome knew, for Sesshoumaru was actually the most gorges being Kagome had ever seen; but she would never admit it, especially not to Sesshoumaru. Kagome smiled to herself seeing the desired flash of anger in his eyes.
Sesshoumaru pressed his lips together tightly and gazed down piercingly at Kagome. "It will be my pleasure to easily defeat you, even in this simplest of tests." He remarked simply turning his face away and preparing to run.
Kagome herd the familiar beep from the tape and began a slow jog. "Sure Sesshoumaru," she replied "That is, if you can keep up." That final remark made, the two began their slow, but determined battle to be the last one standing.
Kagome watched as her classmates around her began to slowly shrivel down, one by one, until only her and Sesshoumaru where left standing.
Sesshoumaru and Kagome ran until their legs burned with exhaustion, until they felt that they would collapse. But neither gave any sign of letting up any time soon, all they concentrated on was beating the other, crushing their sprits deep within the ground.
Student and teacher alike watched in amazement as Kagome and Sesshoumaru ran their 145 length of the gym.
Kagome's breath came wheezing in and out of her, and her legs began to feel like jelly. 'I won't give up. I won't let him win.' Her mind chanted over and over again. The tape beeped again and again, speeding up each time. Kagome let herself glance over and Sesshoumaru and saw to her satisfaction that he was in the same condition she herself was. Tired, sore, sweaty, exhausted, and about to collapse. It was then that Kagome realized something. This was no longer a test of the physical, for both Sesshoumaru and she were in exceeding good physical form. No, this was now a test of mental skill. Of whose mind would let up first and finally give in to the exhaustion.
Kagome and Sesshoumaru crossed the line one last time and turned to run another when the tape suddenly stopped. They both stopped in mid stride and looked over at the gym teachers, confused. The teachers just stared in awe at what the two had just accomplished. An amazed silence spread throughout the gym, then suddenly without warning, their classmats burst out in applause. Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru, a smug look spread across her features.
"Well Sesshoumaru, tell me, how does it feel to defeat me. Oh, no wait," stated Kagome putting her finger up to her face and resting in on her cheek. "You didn't." That said Kagome whipped around and walked away towards the girl's locker room.
Sesshoumaru watched as Kagome walked away from him, his mouth open. What this girl had just done, what she had accomplished, no one had been able to do before. This girl, this, this WOMAN had stood up to him and had actually tied with him, the great Sesshoumaru. Yes, he had greatly underestimated her, and he would not make that mistake again.
Okay! That's it! Thanks and please review if you so feel like it! (chants under breath feel like it feel like it.....)
