Pairing: Kagome and Ryoma

Have you ever
As soon as the crowd saw Kagome enter the courts, shouts were heard and praises shouted.
"Ace"
"We love you!"
"Ace"
"You can do it!"
"Ace"
"Bring us another win!"
"Ace"
Were chanted and much to Seigaku's surprise, sans Tezuka and Fuji, the latter even participating, Hyotei, Rikkaidai, and St. Rudolph were all chanting the same name along with the crowd of Seigaku supporters.
"Hoi hoi, what's going on? Fujiko, explain, nya" called Eiji glomping his best friend.
"Ace of spades is Kagome-chan's nickname, Ace for short, as you can see she has a lot of fans." chuckled Fuji glancing towards boy wonder.
"Sugoi!!"
Kagome shook her opponents hand, "Let's have a good game!"
The Fudomine girl nodded her head.
"Single one matches are about to begin. Choose." the referee said placing the racket on the ground.
"Smooth" replied Kagome
"Rough"
Spinning the racket and watching which side it would land.
"Alright it has been decided, Fudomine's Yamashita to serve."
Taking their places both girls got ready.
Kisa looked over towards Kagome and watched how her eyes narrowed in concentration, not allowing even a single emotion passed over her face. Her expression was in a perfect mask of boredom or was it indifference. It didn't matter though. Every player in the girl's circuit knew that this girl, Seigaku's rookie captain was something else. She had talent that far surpassed any females and even some of the males if she had heard right. Having heard from one of her players, An, about how one of the boys of the Fudomine team had lost to her in a match at the street courts.
Tossing the ball into the air, Kisa smacked the ball over the net and to the other side of the court on the opposite side of where Kagome was standing. And watched as the younger girl seemingly glided across the court to come to a stop behind the ball, raising her racket she hit the ball back over the net. It was nothing fancy just a regular, returnable hit, but Kisa was in shock, having never seen someone actually glide across a court like that allowed the ball to fly pass her and bounce slightly before the baseline.
Cheers erupted from the Seigaku's side.
'"Ace"
"Ace"
"Ace"
"Hoi! Hoi! She practically danced across the court, nya." Eiji said blinking his cat-like blue eyes before turning towards his best friends. "Does she dance, Fujiko-chan?"
"Saa...." Fuji smiled
"Nya, Fuji" pouted Eiji "Your being mean!" he cried as he latched himself at Oishi as started telling his partner and friend how mean Fuji was while the fuku-buchou smiled lightly at the red head and rubbed his back. "I am sure he doesn't mean to be mean, Eiji!"
Fuji just chuckled at his best friend in amusement.
They turned back to the court just as Yamashita tossed the ball in the air for her second serve.
Kagome watched the ball fly over the net and before the ball could even bounce she was already standing in position to return the shot. Hitting a returnable ball towards her opponent Kagome allowed the girl to flow into a rally.
"Poor Kagome, puri!" commented Niou in a huff. He could not bare to see such a torturous match. It was evident enough who was going to win. "They should just put the poor girl on the boys team that way she could have more challenging opponents, people who could push her to her limits and beyond."
"Yeah, she looks like she's going to fall asleep on the courts." Gakuto frowned watching the young girl end the rally with an ordinary smash. "It's not fair, Kagome can't even use all her fancy moves cause she can beat them with ordinary, boring moves."
"Yeah, I wanted to see her steel claw illusion...." before Akaya could continue with his tirade Yukimura placed a placating hand on his shoulder.
"Maybe Kagome could play against someone tomorrow, since her brother's here, I don't think Kagome is going to be playing anything after the game." Yukimura smiled.
The group nodded their heads before being interrupted by the cheers of the crowd and the referee call of match point.
"Ace"
"Ace"
"Ace"
Kagome bounced the ball, looking across the court to see her opponent panting from the game, before tossing the lime yellow ball into the air and smacking it over the net, passed the shock Fudomine captain.
"What was that/" Asked Oishi
"It would see Kagome is showing mercy to her opponent and ending this game fast if she is using her serves." commented Atobe with a smile.
Inui adjusted his glasses, "If I am not mistaken Oishi, that is what people will call her 'Archers serve' you see how Kagome moves her body, her arm pulled back taunt and when the ball is right where she wants it, she swing her racket like one who do with a bow and upon contact with the ball, the ball is sent flying like an arrow, past the opponents face, and because she doesn't put too much power into her hit, the ball lands right on the baseline and bounces of."
"The archer serve is the easiest of all her serves." called Kirihara
"Easiest of all her serves, but that ball is pretty fast!" protested Momo in disbelief.
"Nope..,they go faster and crazier, puri." smirked Niou in amusement.
'Game, set, and match, 6 games to 0, Kagome of Seigaku. And with 3 wins and 2 loses, Seigaku will advance towards Nationals.."
"Wow. Amazing."
"She didn't even use any special attacks." whispered Oishi in awe.
"That's how good she is. The only people who can bring out Kagome's true prowess is national rank players...for the boys division. She has played the boys from St. Rudolph, Hyotei and Rikkaidai and managed to defeat most of the regulars. On top of that she is able to hold her own again Tezuka, Fuji, Atobe, Sanada and Yukimura, which speaks a lot about her skills." Oshitari spoke while pushing his glasses higher up on his nose.
Seigaku just gaped in awe at the girl. Ryoma wasn't that surprise seeing as he had watched some of her matches but they were much too boring to keep his interest so he ended up leaving to get a can of ponta and by the time he came back the game would be over. With Kagome's win. He wanted to have a match against her some day to really see her potential and now hearing that she could easily hold down a match against the top five ranking males in the high school division, it made him want to challenge her all the more.
"It was a good game" complimented Kagome with a nod of her head.
"Yeah. You are really good. I can see why you were made captain even as a first year. And you seemed to have a lot of fans."
'"Hm." Kagome turned and glanced at the stands. "Yeah, your right. You have some of your own as well."
Kisa turned and saw the Fudomine boys tennis team standing by the fence. "Ah, yes, they are here for An Tachibana. The boys tennis captain is her older brother."
Kagome nodded her head, "The single two player, if I remember correctly."
Kisa nodded her head, "Well good luck in the Nationals. I hear your boys are going as well."
Kagome nodded her head before turning and walking away.
"Buchou, great game!" cheered the girls.
"As always you won your game in straight matches."
"I can't believe we are going to nationals this year. Seigaku girl's team hasn't gone to nationals in years."
"That's because this year we have a great captain."
Kagome shook her head when the praises and compliments were getting to be too much, after all, there was more than just her on the team.
Walking out of the gates she was hugged by Akaya Kirihara who was enthusiastically congratulating her on a splendid win.
"Uh, thanks Aka-chan" Kagome smiled at the Rikkaidai second year ace but before she could get away several pairs of arms were wrapped around her.
Marui Bunta. Niou Masaharu. Gakuto Mukahi and Jirou Akutagawa.
Kagome grunted beneath the combined weights of all four of her senpai's, "Y...r, he...vy, g..t of" (Your heavy, get off) was the muffled reply as she tried to push the boys off. "I ant eathe" (I can't breathe)
"Gakuto, Jirou!"
"Bunta, Haru!"
Both Atobe and Yukimura called for their members causing them to instantly released the small girl who gratefully took in lungful of her previously deprived oxygen. "Thanks, Kei-chan, Sei-chan!"
The two smiled and nodded their heads. "It's no problem, Kago-chan"
Kagome smiled at them before greeting everyone else, throwing an arm around Yuuta's shoulder, he in turn grinned and told her that she was awesome as always.
"Thanks Yuuta!"
"Kagome!"
Kagome turned her head and smiled when she saw her brother, "Aniki! She called releasing her arm from around Yuuta's neck and race towards her older brother and hugged him. "I missed you! When did you get back/ Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
"Calm down, Imouto-chan. I just returned a while ago and heard that you had a tournament so I came here!. And I missed you as well."
Kagome smiled brightened at what he just said.
"Well to celebrate, how about I take you to your favorite restaurant. Just the two of us!"
"Yeah, that sounds great, Aniki. Just the two of us and we can catch up."
Sesshoumaru smiled slightly and patted Kagome's head, "Shall we go than."
Kagome nodded her head and after waving and calling out her good-byes the Taishou siblings vanished.
Ryoma sighed and pulled down his cap. 'Useless. I can never get up the courage to speak to her.'
Atobe smirked and turned his head to the side trying to suppress the urge to laugh out loud, 'Really for such a cocky brat who would have thought you would be shy. Ore-sama shall be kind though and help you out brat be awed at ore-sama's kindness. But ore-sama does this for Kagome-chan's happiness only'
Atobe turned his eyes and caught Yukimura's glance and nodded his head at the Rikkaidai captain who in turned smiled a smile reminiscent to those of the tensai Fuji Syuusuke.
'Saa...This is going to be fun. I wonder if Fuji would want to help..." Yukimura's smile widened at that. 'Well we will just have to ask."
