Okay next chapter is up! I hope you know about positions, cause otherwise you'll probably be confused. Yes, we finally meet Inuyasha.

Chapter 2: The Team

The two girls walked towards the school and back near the practice fields. Trust me Kagome; you're going to love cheerleading"

"But I never even said I would join yet."

"Sango!"

The glanced behind them to see to see a red-headed girl running up to them.

"Ayame!" Sango yelled back. When she finally reached the two, she was quite winded. "Oh right, Kagome, this is Ayame she's on the cheerleading team with too. Ayame, this is Kagome, she just moved here, she's joining the cheerleading team."

"That's awesome!"

"Wait, I never said…"

"Hey, are you two going to watch the practice too?" she interrupted.

"Yeah" Sango answered quickly. "Oh yeah Kagome, first you should know about some recent team history."

"Well" she started, "I know a little bit about the Musashi Hanyous. Let's see… they wear blue and yellow… and they're ranked second nationally."

"Well that does count, I guess" Ayame said.

"Yeah" Sango agreed. "We went all the way to the national championship last year. But we were cheated. The refs would penalize us for the slightest things and the other team even purposely injured players without a single penalty. And we still only lost by 1 point."

"Wow! That's amazing!" Kagome exclaimed.

They finally reached the very small hill over-looking the fields, seeing the team practice in full pads separated into groups by their position. Kagome was really amazed at how fast and strong they looked running through their drills.

"Alright, well let's run through the important players on the team then" Sango said, "Let's start with the Quarterback…"

"Big surprise you started there Sango" Ayame said with a mischievous smile nudging her with her elbow.

"S… shut up!" she retorted turning a bit red. "That's Miroku Houshi, #5, a 3rd year." Kagome saw a young man tossing a football around with another and also stretching his shoulder. "He basically leads the offense, he's pretty well known for his "magic arm"."

"He's also well known for being a major pervert, so be careful Kagome."

"Anyways, next is the Center, 3rd year, #99 Jinenji Ooinaru." Kagome looked towards the un-missable player whose size was unbelievable. "Last year he made all-national as Center and a Defensive Tackle, he's really strong, but he's super-nice."

"Yeah, it's too bad God didn't grace him with better looks though." Ayame said a bit sorry for him.

"Yeah, he deserves someone very special. Now let's move to…"

"KOUGA!" Ayame shouted. "My Kouga".

Sango simply rolled her eyes. "Fine, go ahead." She leaned towards Kagome and whispered, "She's had a hopeless crush on him for years."

"Ooooooh", Kagome said understanding.

"Well Kouga Ookami, #85, is a 3rd year and has been starting Wide Receiver since he came here. He's also the kicker. He's said to have the best pair of legs in the region. He runs a 40 meter dash in 4.44 seconds and did you know the average American professional receiver runs it in about the same time. Oh! And…"

"Okay! Enough about Kouga!" Sango yelled. Ayame made an annoyed huff as Kagome looked down at said receiver and her eyes widened a bit at his speed, seeing it was no exaggeration.

"How Hachi Rakuen, #33, a 2nd year, the Fullback. He's a good friend of Miroku's and isn't very fast, but uses his uh… thickness to bust through the line for short gains."

Kagome glanced at the thick player who really didn't have much speed, but seemed to run very solidly.

"Next would be Ginta and Hakkaku…"

"Both of them?" Ayame said confused.

"They play the same position."

"I guess."

"They're 2nd years. Ginta #22 and Hakkaku #34 are the Half-Backs."

"Wait…" Kagome interrupted, "I know I don't know much about football, but isn't there supposed to be just 1 starting Half-Back?"

"While that's usually the case, we run a different offense that uses 2; it's called the Wishbone Option. On certain running plays Miroku can either hand it off to Hachi who runs straight up the middle, pitch it to either Ginta or Hakkaku while the other blocks or runs a fake trail, or he can keep it and run the ball himself. Whichever he sees is the best to use against the defense as its reacting, that's why it's called an option."

"Oh, I see." She looked down towards the two who were in a heated argument with each other about the particular play called and Kagome gave a small giggle seeing this.

"I guess we should move to Defense, and since I already mentioned Jinenji, we can move on to the next big person on the line, Defensive End, #92 Sesshomaru. Now this is kind of hard to explain, but last year he didn't really meet academic requirements and didn't get into college. But Tokyo U. is scouting him for their team, so they struck a deal where he can stay in school and play until he gets his grades up.

"Wow" Kagome said looking at the tall player with long silver hair sticking out the back of his helmet, "He must be really good then."

"Yep" Ayame said, but because of this little dilemma he was stripped of his title of captain."

"Oh my."

"Can I keep going?" Sango asked.

"Yeah, yeah" Ayame said.

"Okay, now #20 over there is my little brother Kohaku, and he's also the only 1st year who's starting on the team. He's a Strong Safety. He's young but still has a lot of skill. Next is Shippo Kitsune, #24, a 2nd year Corner Back. He's pretty short, but fast, and can jump really high.

"He's also kinda sneaky; a lot of receivers last year said they couldn't see him at all before he suddenly picked off an interception." Ayame added. Kagome looked at the two shorter Defensive Backs who were going over coverage audibles.

"And I guess that brings us to Inuyasha Taisho…"

"Ugggh…" Ayame shrugged.

"Inuyasha?" said a bit confused.

"Yeah, he's #51, the defensive captain, a 3rd year Middle Linebacker. He leads the defense. He and Kouga really don't like each other. He's also Sesshomaru's little brother."

"Really?!"

"Uh huh. How happy do you think Sesshomaru is that suddenly his little brother became captain instead of him…"

Kagome looked down at the player not even 50 feet from them as he suddenly took off his helmet as the drill ended and they rested. Kagome could see his golden eyes and sharp facial features as he shook some sweat off his long silver hair. She immediately felt a hard thump in her chest.

Across the field Hakkaku saw the girls and walked towards Miroku. "Hey Miroku, isn't that Sango up there?"

"Sango!" he exclaimed, too distracted to notice that when he turned his head to look her way, he launched a bomb towards the three spectators.

Hakkaku yelled to them, "Heads up!"

The girls were confused while Inuyasha noticed the ball heading towards a girl with long black hair. He instantly ran up the inclined ground towards them and jumped the last bit scaring the girls, but catching the ball with one hand before it could make a hard collision with Kagome's head. He stood up and launched the ball back to Miroku, "Watch where you're throwing it next time you moron!" He turned back to the girls and caught the eyes of a new face.

"Thanks Inuyasha!" Sango and Ayame said in unison. Kagome simply stood there a bit entranced.

Inuyasah was the same for a bit until he quickly shook his head. "Be a little more careful next time" was all he said before heading back down.

While on his way he heard Miroku yell at him "Hey Inuyasha quit flirting with the girls that's my bit!" with a chuckle.

"Shut up Houshi!" he retorted strapping his helmet back on.

And back with the girls Sango shook Kagome a bit. "Uh wow, I didn't even see that."

"Yeah we could tell, luckily Inuyasha's the 2nd fastest guy on the team or you'd be nursing a lump right now." Sango said a bit relieved.

Kagome simply stared at Inuyasha who was busy with another drill. "Yeah…… lucky me."

The next chapter or 2 will take a while. And if you guys want, I want to know your opinion why I picked the numbers I did for the players. (Kujo its unfair for you to guess) I just want to know your opinions why.
