Tomboy Chapter 2

"Hello, Higurashi residence," said Kagome. She was almost annoyed at the disturbance. She was just giving her bother the lesson he needed to be reminded as to why she was the best and he was second. Their game was Dance Dance Revolution and the door bell was the disruption.

"Hi, my name is Sango. I live next door and my dad is kinda old school, so he made me bake this cake to give it to the new neighbors. I know its a little 1950's, but that's just how he was raised. So here you go," Sango managed to utter as she took in Kagome's appearance.

Kagome was wearing her red sports bra with her grey basket ball shorts and socks. This left her whole stomach open and she very undeniably has a solid 4 pac to call her own. Sango was almost in shock, but was forced out of her trance when Kagome spoke.

"Thanks, my mom is kinda old school too and was wondering why no one had sent anything yet."

"If you don't mind me saying, you have an awesome body. I wish I had abs like that."

It was just then that Kagome remembered her appearance and panicked a little before regaining her cool.

"Thanks. I used to help my brother train for football by training with him as support, and I guess these just came out of no where ," lied Kagome. She did crutches every morning and night to keep her beautiful set of abs muscles. "I was actually playing him in Dance Dance Revolution right now if you want to come in and play with us. "

"Wow, you have a little brother that plays football too. Mine's 15, how old is yours?"

"14, but he thinks he's like the best football player in the world it's so funny."

"Mine too. We have to introduce them, but not now. Sorry I can't stay and play, but some of my friends were going to out high school to watch the football players train for the next season. You're welcome to join us if you want. What school are you gonna go to anyways?"

"Greenberg," Kagome replied, then thought for a second and said, "Yeah, I would love to join you if you give me a minute to change clothes." She was not going to miss this chance to make female friends and check out what was most likely her new school's football team.

"Me too. This is gonna be awesome. I'll introduce you to everyone. I'll be back in half and hour to get you then meet my friends. Is that cool?"

"Yeah it's perfect. See you later."

"Bye," Sango said as she walked down the path to her house.

Kagome took the cake that Sango brought into the house and set it on the counter. She told her brother that she'd play later and immediately went upstairs to shower and change clothes. She put on a simple red beater with a frowning face on it and some Bermuda shorts. They weren't skin tight, but they definitely hugged her body the right way.

Sango walked up just as Kagome was grabbing her Nike bag. She almost never carried purses. They just weren't her thing.

"Hey, you ready to go?"

"Yeah," replied Kagome, "Are we walking?"

"Of course not," just then you could see a small green Toyota Prius driving down the road, "We got a ride from my friend Rin and Ayame is the other girl in the car."

"Cool"

Just then the car came to a stop in front of them and Ayame said, "Come with me is you want to live."

"That is so corny Ayame." Said Sango as she let Kagome get in and slide over then in herself.

"Everyone, this is Kagome, Kagome, this is everyone AKA Rin and Ayame."

"Hey," said Kagome.

"Nice to meet you"

"Great, now let's get this show on the road." Insisted Ayame.

"Wow Ayame, another corny line. What would your precious Koga have to say towards that," sneered Sango.

Ayame blushed. "Nothing, because you're not going to say anything. You know were just friends anyway and…and… I don't appreciate what your insinuating here Sango. Don't make me bring up a certain defensive player that I'm sure your just dying to talk about!"

Now Sango blushed and yelled, "Don't you dare, I think everyone in this car knows I can't stand him you saying anything would just be a bunch of lies."

Kagome cut in, "Umm, I have no idea who or what both of you are talking about and it would be much appreciated if someone would explain." Kagome was generally confused. At first she thought they liked the boys (she assumed they were boys), then she heard the girls deny it, but was it the truth and the girls were just embarrassed, or was it all lies and that's what angered them so much. In her mind she wished she had just stuck with guy friends. Guys were so much easier than girls. With guys it was just, did they want to have sex with the mentioned girl or not.

Since both Ayame and Sango were fixed on not speaking, Rin spoke for them, "Koga and Miroku both have defensive positions on the school football team and everyone knows that Sango likes Miroku and Ayame like Koga. They just don't want to admit it. But, in their defense Miroku is a pervert and Koga is an arrogant asshole. Not everyone is as perfect as my Sesshomaru."

"Rin, stop bragging. Mr, Ice King is not perfect. And I do not have any feelings other than disgust for Miroku. I cannot speak for Ayame though," said Sango.

"Yeah, wait. I don't like Koga either."

"I think I get it. Is there any one else that I should know about before we get to the practice?"

"Well," started Rin again, "I don't see how anyone could be as important as Sesshomaru, but if I had to mention someone it would have to be Inuyasha. He's Sesshomaru's younger half brother. I only say him because he'll get all pissy if he finds out we talked about everyone, but him. He thinks he's the shit because he's the first junior to become team captain in 9 years. Both Sesshomaru and I are seniors, but everyone we hang out with is juniors. So what are you?"

"Junior. But I sorta know how you feel. At my old school all my friends were a year older than me so this year they would be seniors too." Replied Kagome.

Rin turned the corner and pulled into the school parking lot. The girls got out of the car and began walking over to the bleachers while Sango and Ayame argued again about who was the real liar. Kagome knew that these boys must be just like her old friends from the way the girls described them. She would have to be on guard whenever she was near them, they would probably see right through her.

She had also acquired the knowledge that Ayame and Koga were wolf demons, Sesshomaru was a dog demon, Inuyasha was a half dog demon, Sango was from an ancient demon slaying family (that still trained their children in their traditional ways), and Miroku was a monk (sort of). Rin and she were probably the only 2 regular humans. Kagome pondered all of this information as she seated herself with the other girls in the middle of the bleachers.

The other girls chatted as Kagome analyzed their team. "Decent," she thought. No where near even the state level, but they definitely had potential. They were weak in defense on the left side and they were only using one receiver who was showboating and then blaming the rest of the team for the messed up play. She could tell immediately that that was Inuyasha. The worst player on a mediocre team is always the captain. Not because they don't have talent, he definitely had talent, but he was only concerned with making himself look better than the rest of the team.

"You know Kagome; you've been awful quiet there. Does our conversation bore you?" asked Sango.

Kagome broke out of her stare and answered, "I have no idea what you were talking about, I completely zoned out. Please enlighten me."

"We were discussing our cheerleading squad this year. Rin's the captain we're all on it, so if you're interested, and you don't suck, we have three open positions that we we're going to hold and open try out for in one week. We could d put in a good word…wink wink."

Kagome thought on the matter for a second. She's been on a lot of teams in her life, (basketball, football, soccer, field hockey, ice hockey, lacrosse, gymnastics, tennis, track and field, both base ball and softball, swimming, and played just about every extreme sport imaginable) but never cheerleading. Like she said earlier, she didn't want to watch the game; she wanted to be the game.

"Yeah, I've never been a cheerleader before, I did take gymnastics and it does look really fun," said Kagome. She was getting really good at the deceitful thing.

Then they heard the one she deducted to be Inuyasha, "Oh My God! Can't you guys do one play right. I can't play every goddamn position on the field"

"Ugh, there goes Inuyasha running his big mouth again," muttered Ayame.

So she was right. Well she was gonna have fun if it was the last thing she did.

"Hey I'm gonna go to the bathroom be right back…" Kagome said, but saw that Sango and Ayame were too busy fighting again to notice her leave and Rin was making her little snide comments that she could get away with because she was pretending to have nothing to do with the argument while actually fueling it. It's what Kagome would call the instigator, but who was she to judge.

She walked in an open door on the side of the school and realized that that was where the boy's locker room was. This was her motto when it comes to boys: follow the smell.

She cracked open the door and called out hello to see if anyone was in there. No answer, good. That was her cue to go in. Being involved in so many sports, she knew exactly where to find the equipment. If you been in one looker room, you been in them all.

She went right to it and sorted through what was left of it. She put on some gear that was a little bigger than her, but that was good. When she went out there she didn't want to look like herself at all. She was grateful that the stuff was old because it would make it impossible for any demon to define her smell as female.

"Well this is it," she whispered as she left the locker room and ran on the field trying to be discrete. She waited for the play to end and in the chaos of the players resetting themselves she tapped this kid, the one who was trying to intercept the ball from Inuyasha.

"Coach said stand out for a few plays. He wants to see what I can do." Kagome disguised her voice like a man's as best she could. The kid, later identified as Shippo one of the few sophomores on varsity football, looked at her confused and Kagome became scared that he knew she was a girl, but then just jogged to the side with no more than a ok from him.

She knew she was in the clear for now and saw the others line themselves up so she quickly did.

"Well, I guess its go time, please be with me father. I have a feeling I'll need you." She thought.

"…HIKE!"

"Shit!" she thought, she started running and looked around she saw Inuyasha running and setting himself up to catch the ball. She immediately saw the play in her mind and ran towards him ready to make her interception.

She could see it coming and the best part was… he didn't know she was there. He had his hand out ready to make the catch when…
