Prologue: New Beginning
{Age's 11}
 
The boys were playing baseball again, all of them. Naraku was almost bouncing of the balls, letting his talents show as he pitched the ball to Bankotsu at almost 90 mph. He smirked to himself and then to Sesshomaru when he caught the ball and called it.
 
“Strike 3”
Bankotsu furiously threw the bat at the dirt and stomped to the bench, sitting down sulking. Inuyasha just smiled at his friends actions and went to retrieve the bat. He went to home plate and prepared himself for a fast ball.
 
“Ready?”
“Ain't I always?”
“Ok” said Naraku and tilted his cap slightly before pitching the ball at fast base. Inuyasha was ready to run but was stopped by Koga.
 
“Foul ball!”
“WHAT?”
“Foul ball!”
“That's not-“
“Inu, leave it” growled Naraku, he couldn't stand people interrupting their game.
 
Inuyasha took a deep breath and picked up the bat once more.
 
“Just like Caminiti…” Inuyasha sighed to himself when he hit a fly ball
“You wanna be Caminiti?” asked Naraku suddenly
“Course” said Inuyasha
“That sorry behind could never make it to major!”
 
“Bet he's better than you!” snapped Inuyasha
“I'ma be like Jackie!” said Bankotsu
“I'ma be like Rodriguez!” said Koga
“I'ma be like my dad” said naraku
 
“Your dad ain't no star or nothin'!” said Inuyasha
“I don't see any of your sorry dads in the MLB!” snapped Naraku
 
“Ya'll look!” said Inuyasha and everyone followed his gaze
 
From down the street, a kid was approaching them. The kid was wearing black converse, a long white T-shirt, and black baggy sweatpants with a black cap shading the kids face.
 
“Thought you said only chicks were moving in?” inquired Bankotsu
“That's what my momma told me” chimed Naraku
“I hope he can play” said Koga
“I bet he can't, he looks like a loser” said Inuyasha
 
“Hey” the kid spoke
“Yo, what's up?” they said in unison
“Can I play?”
“Don't know, can you?” asked Sesshomaru
 
“Yeah”
“Lets see, yeah you may play” said Sesshomaru arrogantly
 
Sesshomaru looks at the kid up and down then says
“Very well, you, Bankotsu and Inu against me, Naraku and Koga”
 
Naraku tosses the kid the bat
“Batter up, time to prove yourself” he said and went to second base
 
The kid takes the bat and takes of the bat. Long brown hair flows down and big bright brown eyes accompanied by feminine features follow.
 
“Ah crap, he's a girl” said Inuyasha
“Girls can't play ball” said Naraku, annoyed
“Better than you”
 
Naraku and the others chuckle and watch as Sango pulled her hair into a ponytail and griped the bat.
 
“What a dog” Naraku whispers and Sango shot him a glance
“I think she heard you!” said Bankotsu
“Naw, she can only hear doggy language” he said laughing and pitched her the ball
 
Sango wasn't exactly ready so she fouled the ball.
 
“Foul one” says Naraku and they all crack up laughing
Naraku retrieves the ball and pulls down his cap. He pulled his arm back and let the ball zip through the air.
Sango ready and alert hits the ball and gets an air ball also cracks the bat.
 
They all chased after the ball, she ran to first base.
“Aww, man you own me a bat” said Inuyasha
She ran to second base
“Got it!” she heard Sesshomaru say
She ran to third base
She heard the ball zip again and looked overheard, the ball almost making it to home late were Miroku waited with a big smirk.
Sango is aware she's losing time and throws herself through the ground, which gets her to home plate.
 
“Safe!” she heard Miroku say and all the boys looked at her in amazement
“Plain luck!” yells Naraku, obviously angry
 
They try again and for the rest of the game, she got home-runs, Naraku and Sango winning almost evenly for their team.
 
“She's dogging you, man” said Koga with a smirk
“Shut up, moron!” he snapped
“Told you I could play, I'ma be the first girl in the MLB!” she said proudly
 
“No, I'ma be in the MLB, you're gonna be my personal cheerleader!” he said and went to bat
She stood at second base and waited.
He swung the bat and got an air ball. He ran to the bases and she tried to stop him. In desperation he pushed her roughly and she fell to the ground, face first
Everyone froze
She picked herself up and touched the right-side of her hair line. She stared at the crimson stains in her hand and all the boys stared at the girl in fear. Naraku's eyes went wide with fear and regret.
 
She picked herself up, got her cap and ran home.
 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 
Sango leaned over the sink as her mother gently wiped the blood from her hair and face. Kiebe leaned in the doorway and made a face of disgust.
 
“Eww, that's nasty!” she screeched and Sango rolled her eyes
“Don't get mad at me!” she snapped and turned and left.
 
Gracie leaned over to Sango and smiled at her a bit in concern
“How are you pumpkin?” he asked lovingly
“Better” she managed and he grinned.
 
“Yeah, good, hey you're almost finished?”
“I wouldn't be here if she wouldn't be running around like a boy!” said Yoko a bit mad
“That's okay?”
“How is that okay? She's a girl and she should act like one!”
“Yoko, honey, she'll be okay”
 
Gracie gave his wife a smile and crossed over the too to retrieve a hand towel.
Sango took the towel from her mother and started wiping at the gash herself.
“Stay, I'll get some ice” she whispers and leaves, Kiebe stares for a minute and Sango gives her a face…Kiebe rolls her eyes and leaves behind her mother.
 
Sango took the cloth away from her face and examines the wound.
She looked at the long gash across her hair line observes the torn skin and the deep wound. She sighed heavily and smiled.
 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 
Naraku is writing bold words on a card “I Am Sorry!” his father suddenly walks by and chuckles lightly.
 
“Girl, who are you trying to fool?” asked Nikki humorously
Nikki crumbled up the piece of paper in his hand and pitched it to his son which caught Naraku attention on immediately and he caught it with grace. He was about to pitch it back until his mother intercepted.
 
“Naraku…” Megumi started angrily and he returned to his letter immediately
 
Megumi hugged her husband and he stared at her a bit confused.
“New neighbors…” she said as oven rung.
Nikki pulled her in for a kiss and stared at his son for a bit.
“You see? You better get a wife as good as your momma, she is the best…” he said and she pulled him in for a second kiss.
 
Naraku, frustrated threw the papers to the floor and yelled.
“I can't do this shit!” he exclaimed
 
Nikki and Megumi pulled away suddenly and stared at their son. Nikki walked to Naraku and kneeled in front of him.
“Naraku, what did I tell you about that word?”
“Can't should never be in a man's vocabulary” he sighed
“And why is that?”
“Because when you say you can't, you aren't a man”
“Right, you keep that in mind, kid” Nikki said and patted Naraku's head.
“Nikki” growled Megumi
“What?...oh and your mother doesn't like when you say `shit' don't say it!”
Megumi shook her head with a smile painted on her lips
“We should go over, now” she started
 
“Just you and Naraku…I got a business meeting”
“With who?”
“Some business people”
“Nikki, you just got home from-“
“Megumi, don't start bitching, okay, I'm just trying to plan some things for us, I only have 2 years left to play”
 
Nikki grabbed his keys and walked to the door
“Later Raku”
“Later dad” he said as his father shut the door
 
Megumi leaned against the refrigerator and sighed heavily. She looked at Naraku with a glaze of sadness
“Mom?”
“Huh?”
“We still have to go?”
“Yeah”
 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 
Naraku, Megumi, Yoko, and Sango stood in the middle of their living room. Lots of boxes surrounded them, obvious signaling that Sango and her family haven't done much unpacking. Naraku stole quick glances at Sango and she did the same. She was holding Naraku's card and Yoko held the batch of cookies Megumi had made.
 
“We moved here a while back, after Nikki changed teams, but since then, we've never had any neighbors with children except the ones down the street…” said Megumi
Yoko nodded
“Are you okay?” asked Megumi looking at Sango.
Yoko planted a kiss on Sango and she tried to pull back, Naraku smiled and she shot him a death glare.
“Well I really appreciate this”
“It was the least we could do and I just love to cook” said Megumi, and Naraku stared up at his mother in disbelief, that was a lie.
 
“I love cooking also, maybe we should talk about cooking, that is something we both enjoy” said Yoko with a smile and Naraku just smirked.
“You know what? Even though I've lived here for a while, I've never seen the inside of this house”
“Well, let me show you!” said Yoko and handed the cookies to Sango
“Put them up for me baby”
“Naraku, go with her”
 
And the both women left. Sango and Naraku stared at each other for a minute until he took a cookie from the batch, Sango copied his actions.
“Does it hurt?”
“It's not as bad as it looks”
“Oh…so who taught you how to play baseball so well?”
“I just can”
“I've never seen a girl who could play baseball”
“My mother says I'm most likely not hers”
“Oh your dad plays?”
“No, he works for a lawyer”
“My dad works for the Tigers, he played with them a while back, and he says I'm going to be a doctor but I'ma be just like him”
 
“I want to be number 13 like Rodriguez, he ranks 2137!”
“Sure, he's okay compared to my dad, my dad could take him” exclaimed Naraku with pride
“You are different”
“So?”
“If anyone tries to mess with you, tell me because me and my boys run this street”
“I'll just tell my sister, Kiebe”
 
“I bet she doesn't know how to fight…my dad taught me to fight just like Ali!”
 
Naraku put down his stuff and did a back flip throwing Sango off balance and she having to throw the cake, which fell apart. The women rushed back in the room and noticed the cake on the floor.
 
“Oh, Sorry Megumi, all that work you must have put into it!”
“That's okay”
“Sango…” growled Yoko
“What? I didn't do anything!”
“I'm sorry” said Naraku sympathetically
“No. Thank you” whispered Megumi and they left.
 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 
Sango sat in between Kiebe's legs as Kiebe tried to comb Sango's freshly washed hair. She tugs and tugs and Sango keeps pulled away, with Kiebe hurting her more than need be.
 
“Ow” she screeched
“Stay still” said Kiebe
“Ow!” she succeeded in getting away from Kiebe's hands.
 
Sango turns and sees her mother holding a knee-length denim dress overall with a yellow shirt under it. The denim overall dress is designed with corsets of flowers at the edges. Yoko is smiling and Sango looks down.
 
“I'm happy I found this, someone put it in the pile of clothes that don't fit anymore”
Sango looked down and sulked
“What?”
“I hate it!”
“Then what will you wear?”
“Pants”
 
Yoko threw the dress on the bed, obviously angry.
 
“You know what? Whatever, Kiebe make sure she goes to bed before 10:00 and set the alarm…”
“Honey!” said a voice behind her; she turned and saw her husband standing there with 2 shirts in his hands.
“Which one?”
“White”
“Can you iron both, just in case?”
 
Yoko sighed heavily
“Sure”
“Mom, I'll do it, if you want me to” said Kiebe
“No, I'm the mother, let me tend to my tiresome responsibilities” she said and walked out the door, closing it behind her.
 
The door opened again and Yoko peaked in
“One more thing, that boy, Naraku I think, is riding to school with you tomorrow” she said and closed the door now for good
“Make it pretty, okay?” asked Sango sweetly
Kiebe just smiled and shook her head in disbelief at her little sister's feelings for the boy.
 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 
Naraku's room is decorated in baseball paraphernalia. He is about to go to sleep and hears his parents “fulfilling their lustful bodies” and grinned widely. He got up from his bed and went to his window sill. From his window, he can see Kiebe braiding Sango's hair in too big braids. He smiled and stared at her.
 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 
The next morning, Naraku sat patiently on his bike waiting for Sango. He saw the door open and watched as she emerged from the house. She was simply breathtaking. She was wearing her denim dress, black tights and loafers with her hair in two Pocahontas-looking braids tied in ribbons. She got her bike from the lawn and they begun to walk their bikes.
 
“Hi”
“Hi”
“Do you want to be my girlfriend?”
“What do I have to do?”
“I don't know, I guess we could play ball together and walk home from school and if you're mad at me, I have to give you flowers”
“I don't like flowers”
“Oh”
“How about Hershey kisses? My mom doesn't ever buy them” she offered
“Okay”
“Okay”
“I think we have to kiss now” said Naraku
“For how long?”
“10 seconds”
Naraku and Sango placed their bikes down and went behind the fence of Naraku's house. They stared at each other for a few seconds and then he finally spoke up.
“Okay, you ready?”
She only nodded
 
Their lips only touched and Naraku counted with him fingers, and they pulled back. Sango is blushing immensely and Naraku smiles.
 
“Now you have to do what I say”
“Why?”
“My mom always does what my dad says”
“So?”
“So you have to obey”
“I don't want to”
 
“Whatever, you're stupid”
“No you're stupid and your dad plays for the worst team in the MLB, last time they won, Alex was a nurse!”
Naraku got angry, and pushed her off her bike to the floor
 
“Shut up!” he yelled
“I don't wanna be your boyfriend you ugly wannabe boy”
“I don't wanna be your girlfriend, you ugly wannabe ball player”
 
Sango got up and pushed him back. He fell into the grass and they both tumbled in the grass, kicking and scratching.
