The Rookie
“It’s called baseball, Inuyasha,” Kagome said, holding a ball and a well-crafted stick.
“Feh.”
“Oh come on, now. I bet you can’t hit this ball in three chances!” she goaded.
He gave into the competition and retorted, “Okay, wench. I’ll play your stupid game.” She handed him the stick along with a challenging grin. He inspected the wood of the ‘bat’, and gave the hickory a small whiff. “How hard can it be to hit a ball with this stick? Seems too easy.”
“There’s more to it than that. First, we have to see if you can actually hit the ball,” Kagome mocked him, and he responded with a growl.
“Ready? I’m not going to be easy on you!”
“Ha! You better not!”
She wound up her arm, surprising him by throwing a slider. The speed caught him off guard and he missed it.
“Strike one!”
He groaned, but next time he would be ready.
Change-up, the ball came at him in a spiraled, downward trajectory. Eyeing it, he gripped the bat and made clank-contact with the ball. With Inuyasha’s natural power, the ball shot miles from the shrine.
“Well, well,” someone said behind them, and he started clapping, looking at Inuyasha intensely. “You’ve got talent, kid.”
Kagome’s face paled as she surmised who their visitor was and felt a sense of anxiety in her belly. She wasn’t expecting anything from a harmless modern era game, but what was she going to do if her feudal era friend got scouted?
