Stringer 13: Well, here is the first chapter of my new story. I hope people like it and review. I'm sorry, but I won't be able to update for awhile. I have to study for finals because my math grade had been dropping. Please forgive me, but the next time I update will probably be in about a month, but if you like my story a lot review and I might be able to update a little sooner. I really hope you can forgive me for this, but I want to hang out with my friends during my free time. I already have to do homework when I get home, and I hate it. It takes me at least an hour and a half and then I have tennis lessons, which I started over a year ago. Another reason is I am seriously pissed off!!!!!!!!! This boy on my class who is a total midget is always poking bothering me during class. Because he is so dumb, he tries to copy over my paper and is always a jerk. I always try and be nice to him, and even gave him my cookie while we were watching a movie in class today and he acted grateful, but in an hour he was back to his usual bastard self. I hate going to this school! I seriously want to leave Maine and go to Japan. I hate him! I mean I go to a school that has all these rich snobbish kids, with their planes and yachts and I hate them! These people can enjoy high school while it is still here but they will never live in the real world and will be beat up because of their smart mouths! Sorry just had to get that off my chest.

I also will need a lot of ideas, so please suggest whatever you want. Oh, and for people who haven't read my first story I changed the rating to M so please read it before. I'm going to start this story as T and then will probably bump up the rating in later chapters. Oh and this is important so please read. This story might contain spoilers. I plan on having this start with the Senbatsu camp (spelling?) and will go to the end of the nationals. If I get enough reviews, I will probably make a third and last story of this plot over the summer. Can you people who know about the nationals tell me some of the things that happened after the Hyotei match? I only know a little about it after that point. I've seen the whole series though, but I haven't read the manga because I live in America and it's only up to volume 19 where they go against the team that beat Jyosei instead of them winning named………. I can't remember. Well here is the first chapter. Please enjoy and review. Sorry about the short chapter, but like I said I'm a really slow typist and have a lot of homework. This is only the prologue so please forgive me for the shortness.

Chapter Start:

Saeki waited at the bus station for Ryoma's bus to get there. The Echizen family just recently went on a trip to visit Nanjiroh's good friends from America, who were visiting in Kyoto. Ryoma was dragged there unwillingly by Ryoga who didn't want to be alone when a monster named Allison. She was their daughter and was a snobbish brat. (This is an unimportant OC so it doesn't matter. She's a girl from my school and I hate her.) She was a monster and had a firm grip, according to the Echizen brothers. She always grabbed onto Ryoga's arm because she was a fan girl of his and always hugged Ryoma until he suffocated. He asked to go, because he was invited but Ryoma forced him to stay not wanting him to suffer as well. He wanted to tell him the news of the Senbatsu Camp to decide who would be playing against the Americans in an expedition match.

He clanked at his watch to see the time and it was 3:20. Ryoma was supposed to be here at 3:00. He suddenly got worried. Ever since he met Oishi from Seigaku he was worried about every single thing.

'Maybe they had a flat tire………… maybe there was a traffic jam……….. maybe he was in an accident!' Saeki began to panic. He put his elbows on his legs and his head in his hands. He heard a sound from a tire and glanced to his look in front of to see the bus. People were already walking out and he didn't see Ryoma among them. He looked at all the people walking away and didn't see him. He kept looking around frantically before he felt a slight tap on his shoulder. He twirled around to see the object of his affections with a hand on his hip and a cute pout on his face.

"Ne, Kojirou what are you just standing there for. I've been standing behind the bench for about two minutes here, while you are looking like your looking for someone." Ryoma said while smirking. Saeki glared at the small prodigy and then his frown turned into a smile, before he wrapped his arms around the younger boy.

"Ryoma I thought something happened to you" he said while tightening his grip.

Ryoma sweat dropped. 'I really have to talk to Oishi-sempai about this tomorrow morning. I don't think he should hang out with Kojirou anymore. He is starting to rub off on him.'

"Ne, Ryoma have you heard about the Junior Senbatsu Camp coming up?" asked Saeki with an excited look in his dark green eyes. Ryoma gave him a questioning look.

"You just found out about that? I heard about it like 2 months ago" Ryoma wondered. "I guess they wanted to tell Seigaku because I was there" he concluded.

"Narcissist much" Saeki mumbled.

"What was that?" asked Ryoma clearly pissed. "I'm not like that pompous mole, purpled headed ass wipe. Give me a little more credit then that Kojirou."

"Okay! Okay!" responded Saeki while waving his hands in the air. "It was a joke! A joke! Anywhere, where is your family?"

"Oh there are still back in Kyoto, for a few days. I left early because Ryoga left and abandoned me with Allison. That traitor! Now, help me move my stuff to your house. I'm going to spend the night!" Saeki sweat dropped at the authority in his voice and followed willingly.
