Split Personality Disaster

Ch. 5 – Basketball Game

KAGOME POV

[{!.!}]

Wednesday, September 5th 2007, Recess

Well this sucks. A lot.

Why, oh why, do we only get one recess? That's got to be a SIN! Principals are not allowed to take away a recess, that's not allowed! *sigh* Whhhhhyyyy? The world is ending! The sky is falling! A chicken's cackling! The-

WHAT? CHICKEN'S CACKLING! I NEVER EVEN KNEW I HAD A CHICKEN!

That wasn't a chicken, you fool, it was your brother…

Oh yah! Souta sounds like a female chicken. I forgot about that! Anyways, speaking of Souta, where is he nowadays?

We're at your school. We have recess right now, which may I remind you is a 15 minute break, and you just wasted 5 minutes on your constant rambling…

Oh! CRAP! Oh and just to let you know, since we're at school, the chickens cackling can be the grade six's, you know when they go all crazy and stuff.

You were once in grade six, you know that right?

Of course, but I was a mature grade six. Cause my Dad was in the hospital, I was able to mature a bit faster.

A BIT? Clearly less than a BIT!

Stop trying to insult me and let me talk to people. I need friends, you know!

Yah, yah….And she finally fades out! Yes!

"Hi! ERRR…you're Hotaru, right?" I turned. "And you're Rahime, right?"

"How'd you know?" They both chorused.

"Woah. Never, NEVER do that again!" I smiled brightly. "And let's just say it's my little secret." I grinned.

And mine.

Oh shut up.

"You look frustrated." Hotaru said.

"Oh, it's nothing. Just an irritating headache."

I caught the double meaning of that, you know.

You were supposed to.

"Do you want to go inside? Maybe it's the heat."

"No, no, I'm perfectly fine. If I talk more, it'll get better."

It?

"So, what's up?" I asked, trying to strike up a conversation.

"Nothing, really, you wanna meet everyone else? They're all really nice. I assure you. And if they're not, I'll just kick their bums out of the sky!" Rahime added, when she noticed my hesitation.

And with that, the nervousness faded. "You sound like me! You're cool!" I exclaimed.

"Ok, then, let's go!" And all three of them, Tokime, Rahime, and Hotaru, dragged me off to a crowd around the basketball court. Literally around.

*sigh* Ignored.

[({..**..})]

We walked to the 'basketball court,' honestly it looks sooo much more smaller than the one at my old school, but the school itself was much bigger and there was more space to run around in. Lots of grass, something I really loved ever since I was young.

Yaaahhh…I can't wait to run around….

You can't run around, remember?

Riiiiigghhhtt…..I'll just wait for you to run around, and revel in it in the descriptions you give me!

Like I'd ever give YOU anything…

…I'm not talking to you anymore…

You're not talking anyways….

AAHHHH! Since when did you get sooo smart?

I was always smart…not to brag or anything…

Shouldn't you be talking to everyone out there, not to mention, they're looking at you, expecting you to say something….

"Oh. Hi, everyone." Thanks Mini.

"Hey!" Everyone chorused. Apparently, they're expecting more.

"Umm… I'm Kagome. Can I join?" Everyone seems surprised. Apparently, I don't look athletic.

"Sure." Everyone once again said together, cautiously, hesitantly. You don't. You look soft.

Well, that means I can beat them, right? You ready?

As ready as I'll ever be.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's play!"

Behind me, I heard bets raising. And I was glad to see that no one expected me to be a good player. Oh are they ever gonna get shushed? In awe. Mini-Kags and I mentally smirked.

You ready to beat the crap out of 'em?

Oh, HELL yeah!

Well then,

LET'S GO!

And go we did. It was one against twenty. Me against the twenty, hormone driven heighted guys.

So not fair, but sooo our style.

And I couldn't agree more. I smirked.

"You're going down!" I yelled, apparently I officially became a comedian to these guys cause they were the BEST guys in our school. My new school. I scoffed. They all started laughing their heads off, even the spectators which just egged me on, unfortunately for them. I dribbled around them…small height comes to our advantage…through them, I whizzed past hem, and they never even saw me until I was at mid-court. I stopped, took a deep breath and said, "Hit the mark."

I heard a few around me snicker. Some were just staring, looking to see if the ball would actually go in. And whoosh it did. And so did their smirks. All the girls were jumping up and down and came to hug me, basically throwing me up in the air…and BOY was that fun?

I settled them all down with one look telling them that I still wanted to play. They smirked, understanding my idea and let me go. It was then that I noticed Mareku.

Oops, was I supposed to notice him before?

Don't worry, you were in too much of an adrenaline rush.

And then I noticed Hojo. Oh boy, Mojo-Jojo was apparently a great basketball star. Mini-Kag chuckled. I added a chuckle of my own, which got me some looks. That is until they saw my face. This was going to be fun.

[({..**..})]

I was sweating really badly. It felt great; a relaxing feel, mind you, it had been a while since I worked up a good sweat. I whipped my hair around me, releasing it from its secure pony tail. My mass of raven black hair cascaded down my shoulders, and though I didn't feel that great about myself, I knew I had at least one good feature; and that was my hair. I heard all the girls gasp in envy and I knew at once that it was going to be a long day.

Long but fun and refreshing, right?

Exactly.

The boys stared at me for who knows how long before I asked, "Well are we continuing or what?"

That seemed to get them out of whatever trance they were in. They smirked. Apparently they need more defeat.

Well, we can give that to them.

I snickered. And the game officially started.

The boys learned their lesson, I must say. Everyone gathered around me and it seemed like it was a formation they knew well and were comfortable with. All their eyes were on me, sparkling in triumph.

"Sorry boys. But you're lousy tactics won't work on me. I need to speak with your coach about this." Jaws dropped in astonishment and I heard Hitaru-sensei guffaw.

"I wouldn't speak like if I were you." He warned.

"Oh well, if you were me, I'm sure you would." I retorted with a casual smirk.

"Well, guys move out of the way. I need to see this." He made his way through the massive crowd. And that was when I realized I had the whole school as an audience. I chuckled yet again, much to the boys' already growing frustration.

"Will you get on with it, already?" A boy named Sora snapped.

"Oh, I think I will Sora-san." OOO, his reaction was funny. My tone was scary. Mwahahahaha!

I jumped over all of them with my superior legs…not really, I actually ducked through all of them, much to my delight and scored again. And again. And again. I don't think you wanna know HOW many 'and again's' happened. Really, you don't. The boys were discouraged and are currently sulking in a corner. In the end, Hitaru-sensei officially appointed me as tactics manager, and that meant I was invited to the first game of the season: SHIKON VS. HIKARI.
