Kagome stopped at the sound of a female voice, turning to see a girl with brown hair in pigtails running up to them, Kagome looked surprised when she turned a curious look to her before glaring. The glare was quick to vanish though as Ryoma turned to her.

She turned back towards Ryoma, but still stood her ground, not taking a step as she glanced ahead of them.

Kagome noticed he too had stopped walking and now leaned against the fence, "Is something wrong?"

"Iie...just waiting,"

"For?" She moved a bit closer to the younger boy, side stepping the girl who was still giving her a cold look. She left her aura open to roam as she took in her surroundings. The feel of another person closing in on them quickly turned her attention down the road. Ryoma followed her gaze and not even twenty seconds later, a boy appeared on his bicycle riding towards them.

"Hey~! Ryoma, Tomoko!"

"OHAYO, MOMO!"

"...Momo...you took too long."

Kagome frowned; they hadn't been waiting for too long, had they?

"Yo, Ryoma, who's this?"

"...roommate..."

"...ehh?!"

The two turned to stare at Kagome who blushed at the unwanted attention, "Um, my name is Kagome Higurashi, it's nice to meet you...Momo?" She completely ignored the girl, she didn't care to try and become friends with yet another girl who had it out for her.

"Takeshi Momoshiro, but yeah, you can call me Momo! How do you know Ryoma?"

"I...I'm kind of a roommate, I'll be staying with the Echizen's for...a while."

"A while?" Tomoko sneered out curiously.

Kagome turned her eyes onto the girl, "I can't give a definite answer to how long I will be staying. I'm just happy that they are letting me stay at all."

Momo nodded, "I see; I don't really understand, but Ryoma is a good kid, so you'll be fine no matter what is going on." He grinned.

Ryoma closed his eyes and walked off, leaving Tomoko, Kagome and Momo behind.

Kagome chased after him and walked quietly beside him; looking around, she watched as the courts they were heading to came into view. "Is that where we're heading?"

"Mm,"

"...you don't talk much, do you?"

Ryoma shrugged, "Nothing to say." He walked through one of the gates where a few others were standing around and turned when he realized Kagome had stopped following him, "What's wrong?"

"Oh...I, uh...I'll watch from here."

"Nai, nai, Ochibi! Who's your new friend, nyan!?"

Kagome turned around and blushed brightly; the boy behind her was absolutely adorable! His vivid maroon red hair flipped out playfully at his ears and near the back of his neck, a plaster bandage was on his right cheek and dark blue eyes looked her over and within those curious eyes, she could see something familiar embedded in those eyes...interest?

"Ask her yourself, I've already introduced her once, I don't want to keep doing it."

"Hm? Hai, hai~!" He took her hand in his and took everyone around them by surprise when he placed a kiss on her knuckles. "My name is Eiji Kikumaru, may I ask what your name is, nyan?"

Kagome stumbled back in surprise and felt warm hands steady her as they gripped her shoulders. Turning, she came face to face with another boy, this one with well-layered light brown chin length hair, his eyes closed and a small smile on his lips. "K-Kagome..." she turned back to the playfully bouncing boy with the maroon red hair, "my name is Kagome Higurashi."

"I see, are you a new transfer at our school?"

"...no." She frowned, "I go to Hibiya...mm, actually, maybe I don't. I'm not really sure about that right now."

Ryoma noticed her frown and pushed her forward and away from the two boys she had just moments ago been talking too. "Shuusuke Fuji," he pointed to the brunette, "Eiji Kikumaru," he said, pointing to the red head, "Takeshi Momoshiro...and no one else is important since no one else here is from the tennis club."

"Do you play?"

"Play...tennis?" Kagome frowned, "Never tried."

"You should," Shuusuke walked forward, placing a hand on her arm as he guided her towards the tennis court. Eiji chased after the two with a giddy laugh.

Kagome was confused; she couldn't understand why she was being crowded suddenly...how these two boys she just met were giving her so much attention. 'This isn't right...I don't understand why they are getting so close to me without even knowing me...something is wrong...something is so wrong.' A racquet was put in her hands and she stared curiously at it as the red head flipped over the net to the other side of the court before playfully bouncing a neon yellow/green ball on his racquet. '...I guess...well, maybe they are just really friendly...' Kagome closed her eyes and once more she pushed out her spiritual energy to feel out her area. A familiar spike of energy came from a few of the boys around her, and Kagome was pretty sure she understood why they were reacting to her the way that they were. 'Could it possibly be the jewel...? I can feel their energy, even though it's faint, there is something demonic there...I can just barely make it out, why have I never noticed demon energy around me before?! Was I really so weak without the other part of my soul?!' Lifting her hand with the racquet, she watched the ball fly towards her with a light thump from Eiji's racquet as he served the ball straight at her. It was with her instinct that she lunged forward and returned the ball, hitting it with enough power that it sent the ball spiraling past Eiji's ear, leaving him too surprised to return the ball over the net. Kagome met his eyes and the two were caught staring at one another over the length of the net. Things were just about to get interesting.
