Chapter 19 Feudal Soccer

 

“Hey, can I have my daughter back now?” The two wolf demons laughed nervously and handed her Mizu. Mizu had stopped crying but she still seemed really scared. “Shhh Mizu….It's ok…” She hugged Mizu and whispered soothingly in her ear. The baby soon calmed down and went to sleep. She held her protectively to her chest.

“Aowin, I would like you to meet my two best friends, Ginta and Hakaku.”

“Nice to meet you.” Aowin smiled at them.

“Heh heh, it's good to meet you too.”

“So, I'll give you a tour.” Koga led her out into the main part of the cave, where many wolf demons sat either eating talking or some other thing. All of them stopped what they were doing and stared at them as they came in. Some were looking at her like they wanted to eat her, others stared because they thought she was pretty, and others looked just out of curiosity. “Ginta, Hakaku. Explain everything to them.”

“Yes Koga!” They both said. As all attention focused on the two friends Koga led her to multiple rooms explaining what they were for. By the time they were finished Aowin was really bored. (She loses interest in things quickly) Ginta and Hakaku had also finished explaining to the wolf demons and they were all staring at her in wonder.

“Hey Koga? Wanna play soccer?” There was silence in the room. After a few minutes a random wolf demon piped up, “What's soccer?”. Aowin nearly fell over. That's right, this is the feudal era. They don't know what soccer is. She sighed at her own stupidity.

“Ok, I'll explain.” Almost the entire wolf pack was huddled around her like little kids listening to a story. She explained all the positions, the purpose of the game, how to play, and they were all interested by then. “So do you guys want to play it?”

The cave echoed with the thousand of “Yes's!” being yelled at her. She laughed. “Okay, this is what we'll need.” She pointed to a group of wolf demons. “You 4 go get two big nets please.” As they were running off she pointed to 3 other wolf demons. “You 3 please get….” She counted on her fingers. “…..12 big thick sticks.”

“I'm going to need paint, of any kind please.” Ginta and Hakaku went off to search and came back a few moments later.

“Will this do?” It was white war paint.

“It's perfect! Thanks!” They beamed. “Here, Koga hold her.” She handed Mizu to Koga and went to find an open enough space to draw the soccer court. He stood there dumbly holding the baby.

“Ummm….hello?” He tried to start a conversation with the infant. Since he got to reply but giggles, he decided to talk to himself. Aowin wiped her hands off and stood proudly over her work. The field wasn't drawn perfectly, but it was pretty good. She had memorized the way it was drawn because she had played soccer for 10 years and it had been imprinted in her memory.

Just as she finished everyone came back with the supplies. “Ok, time to get to work. Ginta and Hakaku, if you don't mind could you please watch Mizu while I work, and throughout the game?”

“Sure!” They happily took up the offer. They took Mizu from the relieved looking Koga. Aowin giggled at the look on his face.

“Thanks! Koga could you please help me?” Aowin held up the thick sticks. “Can you connect these please?”

“Sure.” He grabbed the two sticks and thrust them together, one breaking through the other so that they stuck together perfect. An anime sweat drop rolled down Aowin's face.

“That wasn't how I expected you to do it but if it works….” They continued to do this until the wood was in the shape of a goal. Next they strung then net through it. It was a good feudal soccer goal if she did say so herself. She looked over to the wolf demons who were managing the other goal. They didn't have as much progress. She hurriedly rushed over to them. “How about we handle this and you divide everyone into equal teams?” They nodded gratefully and left the pathetic pile of wood and net. They did the same thing they did to the other goal.

“Aowin! We're finished dividing the teams!” The wolf demon called out to her.

“Awesome! Thanks!” Amazingly it divided equally. Each team had 8 players, with about 5 extra, with 2 coaches for each team. After she had specifically taught them what to call when what happened, they started the game. Luckily she didn't have to make a soccer ball because she brought hers to the feudal era. (she just luckily happened to have her back pack with her…..O.o) Her and Koga were on a team, so they would probably win seeing that Koga was the fastest and Aowin was the most experienced with soccer.

They all lined up in their positions. Koga was midfielder (or halfbacks whatever you wanna call it) because he could move the fastest and he needed to be all over the field. Aowin was also a midfielder with Koga. (Her coaches always put her on midfield for some reason and apparently the wolf demon coaches did too which ticked her off. She preferred defense or offense….)

`Ready…..Set…..Go!” The coach blew the whistle she also seemed to conveniently have. (I'm just going to describe some short random moments in the game, it would be too long to describe everything) The offense on her team passed it back and forth to each other and worked their way towards the goal, while the midfield followed them keeping a close eye on the ball. Before she knew what was happening the ball went flying back behind them and towards the goal. A person on the other team was back by the defense and bumped it with his head. It went soaring towards the goal but Koga got their first and kicked it with all his strength towards Aowin.

She prepared to stop it with her chest of stomach but she saw the speed it was going at and dunked instead. “Eep!” She dived just in time for it to fly out of bounds. “Out of bounds!” One of the coaches called.

“What was that for you could've hit it!” Koga shouted to her.

“If it wasn't going 50 miles a minute I might've! Don't kick with your demon speed!” He opened his mouth to retort but instead focused his attention on the person throwing in the ball. They threw it in to one of their teammates but Aowin blocked it and dribbled the ball up field. She had told the coaches to yell advice to their team like her coaches did, (except she told them to not yell as loud as them), so now she could hear yelling from both teams coaches. She caught various sentences like “Dribble it down!”, “Pass!”, “Stop her!”, and other things. When she got too close to someone she passed it to one of her teammates. They were right in front of the goal so they shot the ball in as soon as it reached their feet.

“Yay! Good job!” She high fived the person who has scored and any of her other teammates she passed. The game continued on like this for another hour until they were too tired to play. The score was 5 to 3, her team being the winning one. She lined them up and the teams passed each other while hitting their hands saying “Good game.”

As the wolf demons parted and went back to what they were doing she wasp lease to hear them commenting about it. I'm glad they liked it, it's my all time favorite sport…She thought happily. “Hey, that was fun. Thanks for showing us how to play.” She smiled at Koga.

“Anytime. I'm glad you liked it.” Koga smiled back then he perked up and sniffed the air.

“What is it Koga?”

“I smell dog boy's brother. He's been here the whole time seeing as how strong his scent is. I guess I didn't notice it because I was so infatuated with the game.”

“Sesshomaru's here? Where?”

“Here.” Out of the shadows of the trees Sesshomaru walked out, as emotionless as ever.

“Sesshomaru!” She ran over to him.

“Ok, please don't shred them into tiny bits. They didn't mean to kidnap me, well they did, but they didn't mean to hurt me. It was a mistake you see…..” She continued to blab about what really happened and when she finally finished Sesshomaru had no change on his face. “Sesshomaru…”

“I know. I've been here awhile, so I heard the conversation you had.” Aowin nearly fell over.

“What! You knew and you made me tell you it all over again!”

“I didn't make you, you chose to.”

“Well then why didn't you stop me?”

“I thought it rude to interrupt.” She snorted in disbelief at this.

“Uh huh. Suuuure. You probably just wanted to see me make a fool of myself.”

“Yes.”

“What!? Gosh, you're worse than Inuyasha sometimes.” He growled at this. She giggled amusedly. “So you're not going to mercilessly slaughter them?” He raised an eyebrow.

“You really think so poorly of me?” He questioned.

“Actually, when it comes to killing, yes.” She laughed as he put a pretend hurt look on his face.

 

Aowin went to get Mizu from Ginta and Hakaku. “Thanks for watching her. It was great meeting you!” Mizu was giggling happily.

“It was nice to meet you to! Be sure to visit again, and bring Mizu with you.” Aowin hugged both of them and waved. They seemed to get along with Mizu really well.

“Can you wave bye Mizu?” The baby dog demon raised her hand a moved it a little in an attempt to wave bye. The two waved back to her with joyful looks on their faces. Time to say bye to Koga….The sight she saw when she got out there was so awkward she had to use all of her self control to stop herself from laughing her head off. Koga and Sesshomaru were just standing there staring at each other with and awkward silence floating in the air. Koga had a nervous smile on his face and kept trying to start up a conversation which Sesshomaru would not reply to.

“You guys having a staring contest?” She laughed. Koga sighed in relief as she came out. “Bye Koga! Thanks for letting me stay here until Sesshomaru came!” She hugged him goodbye and he blushed. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Sesshomaru getting a little jealous.

“You'll have to come again sometime. See ya!” She ran over to Sesshomaru while waving over her shoulder.

“C'mon, let's go back.” When they were out of earshot and in the woods she narrowed her eyes evilly at Sesshomaru. “So, were you worried about us?”

“This Sesshomaru does not worry.”

“Then why were you jealous when I hugged Koga?”

“I wasn't jealous.” (Hey, he actually didn't use third person! Woot woot!”

“Then why are you stiff with jealousy?” She poked his stiff arm and it twitched. He blushed and looked away. “Ha ha! You were jealous!” She laughed at his denial and leaned on his arm as they walked. “I love you.” She randomly said after a few more minutes of walking. A few minutes later Sesshomaru replied in a quiet voice.

“I love you too.”

 

 

I finally got out the 19th chapter. I might be paragraphing my stories so they're easier to read, and making a few other small changes. If you guys think this is a good idea then I'll delete all my stories and post them back up. Tell me what you think!
