Inuyasha Plays Tennis
Note: InuYasha Alchemist was telling me how they play tennis and for some reason it made me think of this. To my last chapter before my two month deadline. Cheers.
Kagome is playing tennis against a green wall. She hits the ball forward and it comes back at her with twice the amount of force.
"Kagome, lookout!" She only sees a red blur run pass her before she had a huge sweat drop fall from her head. "Keh, this stupid thing could never defeat Kagome."
Inuyasha was trying to tear the ball to pieces before Kagome yelled, "SIT!" He fell forward and looked up at her aggressively.
"What did you do that for? I was just trying to protect you from…from…" He stared at the green tennis ball. "Kagome what the hell is this thing?"
"It's a tennis ball Inuyasha. And could you make yourself look less noticeable."
"What is it used for?" he asked as he sniffed the ball. Kagome was distractedly watching Hojo and his dog playing fetch.
So mid way of telling him what she was doing she blurted out, "It's for…playing fetch. Hey, do you want to play fetch."
Inuyasha now looked at Hojo and his pet. "Feh, I'll pass. I will not degrade myself so much for your amusement. But that's not what you were doing with it. What was the thing you were doing?"
"Oh I was playing tennis."
"Tennis? What's tennis?"
"It's a sport." Kagome answered. "You saw me playing volleyball before. It's a game, but it's different."
"How?"
"Here," she said, standing up. "I'll teach you how to play."
Inuyasha got up to his feet and went on the other side of the net. At first he held the paddle upside down before Kagome went over to correct him.
"Okay," she said. "The basic point of the game is to swing the object at your hand and hit the ball towards me. You think you got that?"
"Yeah, yeah. How hard can it be?" Kagome hit the tennis ball and it came souring towards Inuyasha.
Inuyasha was swing the paddle like a mad man. He had almost actually hit the tennis ball but aimed too high and fell forward into the ball. Kagome came over in a hurry.
"Inuyasha are you all right."
"Get away from me woman, of course I'm all right. I just don't get this game."
After playing for ten minutes Inuyasha started getting the hang of it.
"Hey Kagome I think I've got it." He spoke too soon. As soon as Kagome tried to hot the ball she tripped and made the aim of it too low. She hit it with such force it hit Inuyasha in his "area" and made him keel over. She came rushing over.
"Inuyasha I'm so sorry!"
Inuyasha had gotten the breath taken out of him and when he could speak all he said was, "I think I'm now willing to give fetch a try…"
