Chapter 5

Softball, the Important Life Sport with Partnership

"Softball… It is not just a sport, it is your life," Mr. Lanky the oversized gym teacher announced to the senior

gym class. The students sitting on the gym floor groaned at what was coming next. Mr. Lanky's speech given whenever they started a new sport. It was supposed to be motivational but when the speech takes up half of the gym class and is the same speech except for changing the sports name, it is just down right pathetic.

To keep herself from falling asleep, Kagome began going over her notes in her head for her next Social Studies class. Sango sitting next to her, started counting the bricks on the wall.

Finally Mr. Lanky came to the conclusion of his dry speech. "And that boys and girls, is how we, the human race, have used softball to keep us from extinction." There was a pause after his "deep" thought in which the students let out a sigh of relief that it was over. Mr. Lanky picked up his clipboard and began reading off the softball teams.

"Team One," he said in his deep (faked) voice. He began listing off the students. Kagome heard her name called as well has Sango and Miroku, who had made himself quite comfortable around 3 pretty girls in the corner. Team one, which consisted of eleven players, began to head their way outside to the field while Mr. Lanky read off the other 3 teams.

It was a bright May day. The sun was shining brightly and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was warm and yet there would be a cool breeze every now and then. Team one's captain, Kouga, began giving everyone's positions as they reached one of the two softball fields outside. He placed Kagome as the pitcher with a wink to her that made Kagome have butterflies in her stomach. Kouga was in a lot of Kagome's classes even though he was a few fries short of a happy meal. He was tall with dark thick hair that he wore in a short ponytail. He was extremely active in sports and was the lady's charmer. Even Kagome had somewhat of an interest in him. Team two arrived of the field while Kouga was still giving positions. Team Two was batting though, so all they had to do was line up in any old order they wanted.

First up to bat was a short, pretty blond. Kagome pitched underhand. WHACK. The girl gave the ball a hard hit and sent it over to left field. The shortstop sent it flying over to Miroku who was playing first. But the ball was too late because the runner was already on her way to second where Sango was playing first. Instead of throwing the ball to Sango though, Miroku began running after the baserunner with the ball right out in front of him. By the time that Miroku arrived at second, the girl had her foot safely planted on the base. But instead of stopping, Miroku took the advantage and planted the ball in his hand onto Snago's chest. WHACK. Sango's hand hit the left side of Miroku's face harder than the bat hitting the ball. Miroku held his face in pain.

"I thought you were the baserunner! I was trying to tag her out!" Miroku claimed. Everyone stared at him disgusted. "What it's not my fault all the girls here look the same!" He cried innocently, which was odd because Sango looked nothing like the short blond girl.

After a few other players went, Kikyo was up next. Kagome made sure to pitch with a little more velocity than usual. Obviously it was working for Kikyo's thickly painted face began showing signs of frustrations. She had missed 2 times. Kagome wound up for another hard pitch. Kikyo was determined not to mess up in front of her peers, including Inuyasha. She swung with all her might. Yet instead of hitting the ball, the bat had swung around and hit her head. She fell dramatically to the ground, dropping the cheap metal bat.

At once, all her slut friends and admirers crowded around her, several running off to fetch the nurse. They dragged Kikyo off the field. Kikyo was still showing no signs of life accept for a few mumbles. Kagome showed no signs of sympathy. She yelled to the other team, as though reminding them, "That's three outs!"

The first batter was Sango. She hit the ball on her first try and made a home run. Next was Kagome. Though her hit was as massive as Sango's, it still went pretty far. In fact it went far enough to hit Kikyo's head as they were carrying her off the field and into the school building.

Mr. Lanky stared at Kikyo for a beat and yelled in his loud speaker, "On account of unfortunate events, I say its time to go in!"

Later that day Kagome and Sango had science. It was almost the end of the class. They were currently taking a test that was supposedly very effective on their grades. Although Kagome calm and sure when taking tests, she found herself staring at Inuyasha who was a few seats away from her. "Gosh, since when was he in most of my classes?" she wondered to herself. Her gaze left his concentrated form and found the clock. She snapped back into reality. It was almost time and she still had 1 extra credit questions to answer.

After a few minutes, Mr. Glin, the aging science teacher broke the silence and collected the papers.

The bell was expected to ring any moment now. Students began packing their things, a few whispering to each other, conversations varying from "What was the answer to #25?" to "Oh MY GOD!!! Did you hear what happened between Danny and Rachel last week?"

"Oh, before I forget, I have a new project," Mr. Glin said at the front of the room near his desk. Everyone was quiet again. "I have matched you all up with a partner. I expect on Monday for you to bring in a mini volcano." Everyone stared at him in disbelief. "Only, I don't want you using the whole, water, baking soda, and red dye crap. I want you to find another way to make it erupt. It must be decorative and creative. I expect essays from both workers and I'm gonna handout what is required in a second but first I want to call out the partners." He grabbed a sheet of paper on his desk and adjusted his glasses.

"Miroku, Sango." Miroku grinned. Sango sighed.

"Julia, Halley"

"Kouga, Kikyo"

"Inuyasha, Kagome."

Kagome looked up shocked. Her and Inuyasha? She stared over him. He showed no signs of welcome towards her.
