Chapter 6
Kagome was again not able to concentrate on her studies as the words of her inner voices roamed about her head.
'Why does this always happen to me? Why do I have to face all the hard stuff?' Kagome thought.
'That's because you keep trying to lie to yourself. Try not lying then maybe you won't have to face these problems,' her inner voices answered.
And that was enough to keep Kagome out of thoughts of her suffering.

School's given off and everyone is talking while standing in the playground. Ayame comes running.
"Guys, guys! You know what? Everyone is going to have to give the badminton selection test!" Ayame spoke to Kagome's utter dismay.
'I try to go away and these things keep pulling me in," Kagome thought while trying to remove the shocked expression off her face.
"That's great now everyone's gonna get a chance," Kagome forced out.
Kagome soon got bored of Ayame's nonstop chitchat and decided to take her leave.
"It's quiet late I think I should get going. I'll see you guys later. Bye." Kagome said while walking away.
Inuyasha on the other hand was enjoying the impact his plan was making.
'How cute she looks when she's astonished. Just wait a little while my princess your prince is coming." Inuyasha thought as a smirk made its way on his face while he walked out to his car.
Kagome kept thinking of ways to perform extra bad in the badminton selections all through the day.
She was convinced that closeness with Inuyasha would be a wrong thing. She was so badly convinced that she didn't even want to think about the good possibilities.
Finally she decided upon being herself and not trying to do anything much. By the way, she was pretty terrible a badminton player and she was sure that she wouldn't make it through the test.
That night, Inuyasha also had a plan running through his mind.
"So if she plays good –she's gonna be in the team. If she doesn't play well-then I'll need to put some effort. But I guess she'll manage just fine," he said to himself, working out his plan for the next day.

Badminton Selections
Next day Kagome entered her classroom clutching her sports kit tightly.
She took out her badminton racquet from her kit and hung it on her chair.
Ayame as always came in with news of none other than their beloved badminton teacher.
"EEEE! We are all really lucky! Our section is going to have the selection test today! Yeah!" Ayame exclaimed.
-------------------------------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~--------------------------------
Classes were going on like usual till Class-X-B was called to the activity center for selections.
Everyone stood in a line and started walking to the activity building.
Finally the selections started. A drop of sweat came down Kagome's face as her turn came closer.
It was Ayame, Sango and then Kagome's turn.
Ayame hit two of the three shots that came her way. The same was with Sango.
Now, it was Kagome's turn.
Though Kagome kept telling everyone that she didn't care about how she played deep inside she was very tense about her performance.
Kagome took out her racquet from its cover and came forward to stand in the court.
1-2-3… (A/N-This is Kagome's mind doing an internal countdown)
At the count of three the racquet hit the cock and the cock was sent in Kagome's direction.
Kagome just closed her eyes and hit aimlessly hoping deep inside that she hit the shot.
