InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Dressing the part ❯ Playing the field ( Chapter 6 )

AN- I have major writer's block. The beginning is the way I wanted it, I have some `fun' events planned, but I need to have more time pass first. I don't really like the last chapter or this chapter, but I hope I am working it the best I can.

Dressing the Part

Chapter 6

Playing the Field

He had been watching them. They were good. Too good. Where had these brothers come from and why did one come mid term when the other had already been there a good four months? A lot of these had weighed on Miroku's mind. It didn't seem to fit. Maybe he was thinking too much.

A lot of the guys on the team had watched them after working out. What was really weird was Jak. Miroku was an admitted lecher. Whenever a beautiful girl was found around the school, so too was Miroku. With his hands on her butt and welts on his cheeks.

Jak had always had the same wandering hands Miroku did, except towards men. Since Kagome's emergence and Souta's training, Jak had been too busy for those types of activities. `And what about the other day?' Although Kagome had told him Jak tripped and Jak didn't seem to molest Kagome as he had tried to molest his teammates (Inuyasha, Kouga, Bankotsu, you get my point), he still worried about the new kid. All that attention on one person was not something Jak or himself did unless that one person would be in the picture for a while.

Did he know? Did Kagome have any idea? Whether he did or not, the rest of the guys were grateful. Even if Kagome weren't good enough, Miroku was sure he'd make the team because he seemed to have something about him that kept Jak away from the rest of guys.

But the fact was Kagome had a lot of talent. Sure his brother had a lot more will and determination, but Souta didn't have the instincts Kagome had. Miroku was positive the Higurashis would easily make the team. Their movements were smooth. It made some of the other players jealous. One of these players was the guy sitting next to him, the boy who had privately dated Jak for six months then embarrassed him publically in front of half the school. Miroku was glad Jak found a friend.

He figured their friendship was what made him suspicious. Jak didn't have friends. He had lovers, tormentors, and teammates. Maybe they were just friends.

Bankotsu on the other hand wanted to hurt Jak further. `I'll make sure his life is a living hell. Jak'll pay for what he tried to do to me.' And he vowed to do it tomorrow at tryouts.

Here she was. It was her first time with a guy. And, there were three things made very clear to her. First, he had a lot of experience. Second, he had a lot of tricks. Lastly and most importantly, he was really fast. Of course, Kagome had practiced for this kind of thing by herself...a lot. This was different.

With just her machine, she always came off great, but she was anxious to see how she would come out with him. She knew it was coming. Almost there. Just a little more. Suddenly she exploded. She hit the ball. For the first time in her life, she hit off of an overhand pitcher, Bankotsu. She ran as fast as she could. She coasted into second base with a stand up double. Bankotsu was steaming.

That bastard, Kagome, ruined his perfect game. Now he was pissed.

Kagome was up again in the third inning. The very first pitch Bankotsu through the ball straight to the area men find themselves most vulnerable. Luckily for Kagome, she missed that vital are. When she walked off after only flinching, the other people on the field, including Bankotsu, stopped and marveled at the elder Higurashi.

Inuyasha stood wide eyed. He and Miroku ran in to see if he was okay.

"Higurashi you alright? Did that hit where I thought it did?"

"I'm fine. I've been hit harder." Kagome just stood on first base, anxious for the game to resume.

"Man, either he has balls of steel or he needs to grow a pair."

"You said it Yash."

Kagome returned to her room relieved and ready to shower. It had been different. She, the freshmen, and the team intermixed to form two schrimmage teams. She rocked. She outshone everyone. After six innings, they called the game because the team really didn't need to see more and they were running out of daylight.

Kagome, Souta, and Souta's new friend and roommate, Kohaku each made the team. Practice would start tomorrow. Jak wouldn't be back til later. It was common knowledge showertime was his favorite part of the day. She took off her cleats sweaty, dirty clothes and retreated to the bathroom.

However, a startled pair of eyes widened at what they saw in the window. There was a girl in Kagome's room. `That's why that guy left early. He's got a girl in his room.' A smile formed on the leering man's face. `Why don't I join that lovely maiden. Higurashi couldn't possibly know how to treat a lady with such large...assets.'

A few moments later Kagome realized she left her towel in the other room. She left the bathroom, grabbed her towel and just as she turned, he stepped through her door...with her completely uncovered. She scrambled to get the towel over herself as he came in and slammed the door shut.

What was she to do now?

Find out who it is next time! Serious writer's block has hit me so I don't know when the next chapter will be up. I'm sorry. I know it's really short.
