InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ As the Band Plays ❯ The Competition Begins ( Chapter 9 )

Sango sighed as she kicked back in the game room, "What now?"

Kouga shrugged and yawned slightly. Ayame, Kagome, Nazuna, and Sesshoumaru had a train of hairstyling going on and Miroku was sitting in his own corner again flipping through a magazine, they all expected to be porn. Sango glanced over her fingernails a bored look on her face and sighed again. The day had fallen from hilarious and exciting to erratically dull in a matter of seconds. Suddenly Inu Yasha walked in with a towering sandwich and a blinding smart ass grin on his face.

"And THAT," he boasted triumphantly, "ladies and gentlemen, is a sandwich. This only further proves that men are God when it comes to the dominant sex."

Every female in the room turned an arched brow to Inu Yasha while all the guys smirked.

"Ex-CUSE me?" Nazuna asked indignantly.

Kouga smirked again, "You heard him. There is no excuse for those who doubt the truth when they have all the evidence they need sitting in this very room."

Ayame folded her arms over her chest, dropping Kagome's hair back against her shoulders, "And just what is that, may I ask?"

Miroku gestured at Kouga, Sesshoumaru, Inu Yasha, and himself in an obvious manner, "What else? The four best specimens of male you will ever see in your entire life."

The girls all promptly burst into laughter. "So you want to turn this into a war, do you?" Kagome asked coyly.

Inu Yasha snickered, "I don't know why, it's obvious who would win."

The girls threw out jests and boos with large thumb down gestures.

Sesshoumaru made a tone-it-down gesture with his hands, and spoke with an amused tone in his voice when they quieted. "I suggest a contest."

"Contest?" all the people in the room inquired, a curious façade befalling upon them.

Sesshoumaru nodded, "Yes. For the next couple months, we will hold a gala to see who the top dog really is. The final competition will be at the battle of the bands at Christmas. There we will tally up the wins, and the final competition will be worth five wins total so it will throw the game either way. The winning sex has the losing gender at their mercy for the rest of the year."

Miroku and Kouga got lecherous looks on their faces and the silver haired brothers both shared smirks. But nothing compared to the devilish looks gleaming on the girls' faces. Every one turned to the center of the room and spoke at the same time.

"Deal."

Kagome jumped and turned a flip on the trampoline in the backyard, gaining a round of applause from the girls on the left side. She rolled off of it and laughed, staggering over to them, falling at Sango's feet, who leaned over and made a face at her. "I think we should slap a dress on you and name you grace."

Kagome wrinkled her nose at her and made a face back, "Yea, yea, well just tell me what the guys gave me for that flip, because my stomach is still doing flip flops from that loopdiloop."

Ayame laughed, "You are SUPPOSED to shut your eyes when you flip, Kags."

Kagome made a face at Ayame too, "And how, pray tell are you supposed to see where you land then?" Nazuna and Ayame both laughed while Sango shaded her eyes trying to see the score that the guys held up across the yard.

Kouga held up a 9, Sesshoumaru a 10, Inu Yasha a 10 and Miroku held up a 5. Inu looked at Miroku, "Why the hell did you give her that score?"

Miroku smirked, "Because she wasn't wearing a skirt and panty less, that's why." All three guys hit him over the head with their score cards till he fell out of his chair.

Sango smirked and laughed as she reported the score to the girls.

Ayame giggled, "He probably didn't get to see enough of her ass."

The other girls laughed and Kagome rolled her eyes and stood up and pointed to Sesshoumaru, signaling it was his turn to flip.

Sesshoumaru got up and ran over to the trampoline. "Who thought up this game, anyway?" he asked as he leapt up onto it. He bounced a few times getting some momentum.

"Hurry up, Grandma, and do a damn flip!" Inu Yasha called out.

Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes as he finally reached the height he needed to be at to do a flip. He did a back flip and landed on the ground with perfect grace as he flipped Inu off.

A great round of applause and wolf whistles came from the left side of the yard and the score cards went up as thus:

Kagome: 10

Nazuna: 9

Sango: 8

Ayame: 8.

The girls all laughed and leaned together whispering something then they all burst into a hysterical fit as they waited to see who would be up next.

Sesshoumaru strutted back over to the lawn chairs and sat down, pulling his white t-shirt off and yawned. Kouga rolled his eyes and ran up to the trampoline. He hopped up onto it. "Might as well take my turn now." He bounced on it until he got a good height in the air. Kouga flipped in the air and did a couple of spins before doing a back hand spring off the trampoline throwing both hands in the air. "Behold the master!" Kouga called out.

Sesshoumaru grumbled, "Show off!!!"

Kouga pulled off his black tank top and threw it at Sess as he walked back over and sprawled out on the ground, in which Inu Yasha took the opportunity to stick his feet in his face.

"God, Inu, get those away from me!!" Kouga yelled as he got up and moved. All the guys laughed at how fast that made Kouga move.

The girls bowed their heads to discuss something, then held up their signs. Ayame held up a 10, as did Nazuna and Sango. The other girls looked at Kagome, who shrugged and threw up an 8.

Ayame blinked, "Why only an 8?"

Kagome smirked slightly, "You know what they say, A guy is only as good as his pecs, and his are pathetic."

Sango and Nazuna cracked up and Ayame laughed as well, as she stood up, bouncing over to the trampoline. She took about 5 or 6 good practice jumps and bounded high into the air, flipping and turning a graceful spin before bouncing up again to turn a double Aerial and landing on her toes, throwing her arms into the air with a flourish.

Inu Yasha held up a 9, Sesshoumaru a 9, Kouga a 9 and Miroku a 5.

The guys looked at him, "Hey, she would have gotten a higher score if she was top less."

Kouga quickly yanked the chair out from under Miroku which caused him to do a face plant and eat dirt.

Inu Yasha held up a 10 sign again, "That, my friends, is a 10, if I ever saw one."

They all burst out into laughter while Miroku spit out dirt. "Not funny, you guys," Miroku grumbled.

Kagome and the girls laughed as Sango stood up and strode over to the trampoline, sashaying her hips as she threw Miroku's grass stained face a sultry glance. She placed her hands on the iron rim and flipped up onto the stretched material of the trampoline bouncing a few times trying to figure out how she wanted flip. She got a grin on her face and straightened her skirt then smiled at the other girls, facing her back to the guys. She took a few good bounces then did a semi-cartwheel, her body pausing while her legs were in the air, making her skirt ride up and then landed back on the ground feet first. All the girls let out cat calls and whooped for her then she turned, leaning on the trampoline seductively, waiting for the judge's score.

All the guys huddled together to discuss the score. Kouga held up a 10, Sesshoumaru a 10, Inu Yasha a 9 and Miroku a 10.

They expected Miroku to say something dirty, but he didn't, hell, he didn't even act like he cared.

"Ok, guess I'm up next," Miroku said. He bounded up and out of the chair and pulled his shirt off as he ran and flipped up onto the trampoline. Miroku bounced on it a few minutes. He then jumped high in the air and came down onto it doing a big belly flop which caused him to land on the ground right on his ass. "Owwww..."Miroku sat there and rubbed his injury while all the guys keeled over laughing.

Kagome held up a 10, Ayame a 10, and Sango a 10, but Nazuna held up a 4. The girls all looked at her as she stood up to walk to the trampoline, and she glanced back. "What? Oh, honey, I saw him one day when he got out of the pool and his swim trunks flew off, and buhLIEVE me, he's no where near worth a ten." The girls all doubled over laughing again as she flipped herself up onto the trampoline. She leapt into the air and spun, promptly landing a spinning cannon ball into the trampoline and bouncing off, landing in a hand spring, which she twisted in the middle of, landing facing the guys, and taking a deep bow.

Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru both held up a 10, Kouga a 9, and before Miroku could even say a word Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru gave him a death glare.

"Don't you even..." Inu Yasha began.

"Dare." Sesshoumaru finished for him.

"You say one nasty thing your dead," They said in unison.

Miroku shrank back and held up a 10.

"Heh ...that's what I thought." Inu Yasha said as he stood up pulling his red t-shirt off and walking towards the trampoline. His tanned skin shined with a thin layer of sweat as jumped up on the trampoline. He jumped a few times to get a feel of it. Once Inu Yasha was used to it, he did a few back flips just to show off. He then did a one handed back hand spring, landing on the ground with his fist in the air.

"YEAH!!!...now that's how it's done, my friends." Inu Yasha stretched as he walked back to his chair.

Kagome waved her hand and rolled her eyes and threw a glance at the others. Ayame Put up an 8 and so did Nazuna. Sango decided to be gracious and threw up a 9 and Kagome did the same.

Inu huffed, "Hey, I deserve 10's all around, I did it all one handed," That's when all hell broke loose. Miroku pulled out a super soaker he had hidden and ran for the girls, "Oh, girls, time to get wet." He stopped and took aim at Kagome getting the back of her shirt wet.

Kagome yelped and they all took off. Ayame and Nazuna bolted up a tree out of Miroku's reach, leaving Sango and Kagome on the ground. Sango bolted through the backyard and took off like a bat out of hell into the house, leaving an already dripping Kagome standing at Miroku's mercy. She laughed nervously and ducked out of his way and took off towards the other boys trying to dodge his spray.

Miroku took off after her, "You cannot escape me! I will get you!"

What Kagome didn't know, was that the other guys had water balloons hidden behind their backs. As she ran towards them, Kouga yelled, "Open fire, and take no prisoners!!" They started launching water balloons at her and the girls that were in the tree getting them wet.

Kagome yelped and screamed as Ayame and Nazuna leapt out of the tree and took off. Ayame yelled over to Nazuna as they ran, "We should have known something was up when they made us the white team!" she gestured to their t-shirts. Nazuna growled and dodged through the trees of her backyard. "Yea, no joke, but our revenge will show no mercy! So just run!!" she yelled back as they took cover in the trees.
