Reiko's eyes widened and an uncharacteristically feminine shriek left her mouth as she slapped at the fast moving ball. This caused her hand to sting and the ball to descend to the ground, spinning for a brief moment before stopping. It was clear that Kotone couldn't care less about the goings-on, but the very least she could do was focus that lack of interest on the other team. If she could cause a stinging hand injury so nonchalantly, imagine what could've been done to the other team. A victory by injuring the other players still counted as a victory right? Reiko bent down, picking up the ball and holding it by pressing it against her fingers. She was so focused on both not getting killed by a wayward white ball and on the game that she failed to notice the new arrival, blonde, a really...obtuse accent, and a nuisance who was holding up the game. "Hey!" Reiko shouted, "It's time to play! Can none of you FOCUS for a single MINUTE?" She was upset. That wasn't good. She waited for the girls to take their place and took a breath. Placing the ball in her right hand and sticking it straight out, she tossed it up. WHIFF. Her left hand missed the ball and it plummeted back to the ground. "That didn't count." Reiko picked up the ball again and this time made contact, but the ball sailed into the net, dropping back to the ground. "DIdn't count." Again Reiko wlaked over to pick up the ball, going back into position. With another breath, the ball was thrown into the air and with an audible SLAP, the white ball sailed over the net and the game, if it could be called that, was underway.
