            Sesshomaru didn’t like archery. Not at all. It was boring and stupid and useless, especially in fighting. He preferred kendo and all other traditional sword fighting. Really, archery just couldn’t compare.

            With that in mind, one might rightfully ask why in the world Sesshomaru had joined the archery club instead of the kendo club during his senior year of high school.

            “Sesshomaru-sempai, you’re holding your bow wrong. Lift it a little bit higher and loosen your grip.”

            Sesshomaru looked at the small freshman standing next to him and nodded. “Like this, Higurashi-san?”

            Kagome puffed out her cheeks and shook her head. “Sometimes I swear you do it wrong on purpose just to annoy me. Come on; you can get it.”

            Kagome held up her bow and showed him. “You’re stance is good, but you’re tilting your bow down whenever you aim. Don’t.”

            Sesshomaru nodded and shifted his bow.

            Kagome’s face flushed and her eye twitched. “You’re doing it wrong!” she hissed.

            She set her bow down on the ground and walked up to him. She grabbed his arm and jerked it to the right. She then forced his fingers loose and stepped back.

            “There. That’s how you hold your bow.”

            Sesshomaru shifted his bow downward again. “This feels better.”

            Kagome let out a groan. “You know what? Kikyo can help you. Kikyo, Sesshomaru’s doing it again!”

            Kagome stomped away angrily.

            The archery team captain walked up to Sesshomaru. She looked at him carefully.

            “I don’t know what she’s talking about.”

Honestly, Sesshomaru…
