I don't own Prince of Tennis in any way possible.

This is the first fanfic I ever submitted for anyone to read so please go easy on me :)


Niou Masaharu, also known as the trickster in Rikkadai, could imitate anyone he wants. He could imitate different personalities. He is known to fool everyone he wants to confuse and trick them into something they don't know but f there was something he can't trick it's his heart.

"Hmm.. what should I buy from this.." He thought carefully as he analyzed the section of prank goods from the store.

"I guess this should be good" As he picked up a box of chocolate bonbons that when you bite into it wasabi is what's in the center of a delicious looking treat.

"I'll trick Marui tomorrow." He mumbled to himself as he went to the cashier to pay for it.

"I'll take this please." He told the cashier a slight smirk on his face as he thought what the reactions for tomorrow were. He pulled his wallet grabbed the exact amount which he was surprised to find and walked to the exit.

"Thank you for coming." The employee told him as he exited.

"Hmm… It's still early. Oh right there was that new book on Pranks out today. I guess I'll check it out today." He told himself as he walked towards the book store. He entered the store in hopes of looking for that book.

"Uhmm… Excuse me. Where is the Gags section?" He asked a girl who was standing in one of the aisles.

"I'm not an employee here." She told him her face irritated at the thought she was mistaken for an employee.

"Oh. I'm sorry" He told her as he looked at her. She is kind of cute but was really snobby."

"It's in front of you." The girl suddenly told him as she let out a sigh.

"What?" He asked her again.

"The gag section it's in front of you." She pointed at the sign. He didn't notice it as he was busy looking at the selections.

"Oh, thanks" He told her as he scanned the shelves.

"You're welcome." She told him as she walked away.

"Here it is." He found the book he was looking for.

"This seems really interesting I bet I could master my pranking skills better. Puri." He told himself and smiled happily.

Niou went home satisfied with his day. He was so excited for the prank he's going to pull tomorrow that he kept imagining it. He then took a bath and went to sleep.

At school he finally put his plan into action, he placed the chocolate bonbons on the table in the clubroom and waited for Marui. He sat at the chair across the table and pretended to listen to his IPod.

A few minutes had pass and Marui didn't arrive Niou was unexpectedly being impatient until the door opened but it wasn't Marui. It was their Fukubuchou, Sanada Genichirou.

"Niou what are you doing here? You should be training!" He shouted at his team mate.

"Puri." He told his angry classmate.

"Just go out there and train or I'll make you run 100 laps." Sanada looking as furious as ever.

"Fine. You're really a spoilsport." Niou walked out of the room. But he set a hidden camera somewhere to catch Marui if he comes and he isn't there.

"What's this?" Sanada noticed the box of chocolate bonbons. He scanned left and right to see if anyone was there. He likes sweets especially chocolate but he can't have his fellow members see that. He took one and popped one into his mouth suddenly a scream that made the mountains move was heard.

"S-Sanada!" Yukimura shouted as the regulars ran towards the club room.

They opened the door to see a lying Sanada in the floor. They rushed to him their faces were pale. Niou looked at the table to see one of the bonbons from the box were gone.

"Huh?" He blurted out.

"What is it Niou-kun?" asked by Yanagi who looked at his classmate.

"He ate one of the bonbons on the table." Niou told them as he was holding back his laughter.

"Bonbons?" Marui asked as he looked at the table." His face lit up and grabbed one.

"No, wait Marui." Yukimura spoke up his face looked to Niou. But he was too lat Marui ate it and he screamed the same way Sanada did.

His last words before fainting. "Spicy"

"Marui!" They screamed over the now unconscious self-proclaimed tensai. Niou laughed as hard as he can. His mission was complete not only did he got Marui but he got Sanada too.

"What was in that?" Yukimura asked Niou as he looked at him.

"Wasabi." He told them now as he tried to stop his laughter.

"What?" They all shouted.

"Well, my only target was Marui but Sanada ate it never thought he liked chocolate. This is the best day ever." He announced happily.

"You idiot. I guess it won't do anything since it was Niou who planned it." Yagyuu told their fellow members.

"I guess." Everyone thought as they waited for the two to come back alive.

As Niou walked in the grounds of Rikkai, He again decided to play a trick on some students at the northern gate. He transformed into one of the faculty and tried to make the students he saw do what he says. Of course this wasn't impossible for him since he can mimic anyone he liked. He now saw a student passing by him.

"Hey, get me those papers from the faculty and a sandwich." Niou shouted at the student.

"What? " The student answered.

"I gave you an order you have to follow." He told her again.

"No way, you're not a teacher." She retorted back at him.

"Heh. You're pretty good aren't you?" Niou then returned to his normal self.

"Not really. " AS the girl looked at him Niou noticed who it was.

"You're the girl in the bookstore yesterday." He now looked at her harder.

"Eh? Oh that was you." She told him her face expressionless.

She then walked away from him, somehow she piqued Niou interest so he followed her.

"What do you want?" She told him brushing him off.

"People who can know who I am even when I'm in disguise really interest me." He told her while having a smirk drawn on his face.

"Heh. Is that so? So what now you're going to follow me?" She asked him as she turned back to look at him.

"Maybe." He told her with that same smiled he had.

She had been walking around the school for a while which made Niou wonder what she could have been looking for.

"Why are walking around so much?" He asked her as he tried to peek at her face.

"I'm looking for a peaceful place." She told him while pushing his face to get it away from looking at her.

"I know one." He told her now trying to get ahead of her to see her face to face.

"You do?" She asked her face lit up. He thought at that moment she was cute if only she wasn't that anti-social.

"Yes, here come with me." He grabbed her hand and dragged her to the only place he ever felt at peace the Tennis club.

"The tennis club?" She asked him as she looked at his face. He did seem peaceful somehow.

"Yup, just sit there at the benches you'll feel relaxed." He told her while pointing at the seats that stair cased one after the other. She didn't know she was following this complete stranger all of a sudden. He sat with her as she rummaged through her bag and got a notebook and pencil out. She started to sketch and Niou watched her as she did this. He tried to see what she was drawing.

"You like drawing?" He asked her the most obvious question. She nodded her face not even looking up at him. But Niou noticed something about her. Her expression was peaceful and had a slight smile that made her shine in his eyes. She put down her pencil. She gave her notebook to Niou who was staring at her.

"I'll give you this." She told him as he reached out for it.

"It's good. You're really good." He told her a smile on his face.

"Thanks. Well, you did lead me to this place and you're right it is somehow peaceful." She told him her face now showing a full smile not like the one earlier.

"You're really cute." He told her a smirk on his face.

"Huh?" She was surprised by that comment no one ever told her she was cute or something close to that matter.

"You can actually smile can't you?" He looked at her he was like searching for a weakness, reading what her eyes said that words and actions can't say. She broke his gaze and answered him.

"Of course I can. I'm human after all." She retorted back her smile was a more natural.

"I see" As he tried to get closer to her. He was putting his face closer but was stop by her hand.

"What are you doing?" She asked the vein in her forehead twitched at the thought of a stranger trying to take advantage.

"Just trying to get close to you." He told her as he tried it again.

"You would get close to someone you just met. Are you a pervert?" She asked him her eyes now set on his.

"No, you're just really interesting." He told her his smile getting bigger.

"We don't even know each other. You really are a pervert." She told him as she tried to stand up he grabbed her and said.

"We could fix that. I'm Niou Masaharu, a 3rd year. I'm in a Tennis Club." He released her from his grasp and she sat back down she didn't really know why she was doing what she had been doing till now.

"I'm Tanaka Rei, 2nd year. I didn't join any clubs, since I just transferred." His gaze upon her was strong and she could feel it.

"What are you looking at?" She asked she was uncomfortable at the way he was staring at her.

"Hey, want to go out with me?" He suddenly asked out of nowhere her face lost color and she now looked at him her eyes got wider it made him thought she was cuter that way.

'What? How can you ask a person you barely even know something as serious as going out?" She went a little ballistic at him.

'We have a remedy for that you know." He stood up and crouched in front of her his put his face closer which made her face very red.

"Oh yeah? What?" She sarcastically as she tried to hide her face.

"You could go on a date with me?" It made her vein twitch for such a bold person to even do that to someone whom they only met like an hour ago.

"No way." She refused him as she tried to get his face a reasonable distance from hers.

"Why? Or would you rather have me follow you throughout school tomorrow?" He told her as he put this hand around her head and caressed her hair. She thought for a second of course she wouldn't want this stranger, well, he isn't a stranger anymore since she knows his name to follow her it would be weird and uncomfortable.

"Why would you do this?" She asked her face getting redder by the second.

"Because I think you're really interesting and you don't have many friends here right. It's better for you to have at least someone you know. He told her as continued to play with her hair.

"No." She still refused him trying to swipe his hand away from her face.

"You know, when someone refuses I just persistently go for it more." He told her as he held her hand.

"You know you aren't supposed to do this to someone you've just met." As she pulled her hand out of his grasp.

"Well, I don't really care. So would you go out with me or wouldn't you not go out with me?" He asked her with this truly confusing question that made her head dizzy.

"What? The first one? " She wasn't sure. That question made her confuse. Niou then smiled and held her hand again.

"You just agreed" He said as he stood up a smile from his face was seen. He then got his phone in her pocket.

"What?" She was shocked as she actually agreed. She was never tricked that easily so why now.

"Here, I'll send you my email. So you send yours too." He told her as he casually got her phone that was in her open bag.

"What are you doing?" She now stood up trying to get her phone back.

"Sent! Receive! Now I have your email. Now I can tell you where to meet up for our date" He told her a big grin on his face handing her phone back

"Even if you tell me I won't go." She told him as she sat back down putting her phone back into her bag.

"Then I'll just follow you around tomorrow.'" Niou smiled at her as he sat beside her again.

"What? You really are a pervert. I have to go" Rei stood up and picked up her back pack.

"Goodbye." She told him as she walked to the stairs. She was surprised when a hand grabbed her shoulder.

"What?" She screamed as she turned around to see Niou.

"Nothing" As he let her go and sighed.

She sighed. The only thing that could stop this dude from bothering her was agreeing to go on a date with him.

"Fine, I'll go on that date of yours. But just this once I'm never agreeing to ever going out with you." She told him as she faced him. Her eyes looking through his a smile formed in his face.

"You finally consciously agreed. I'm telling you I'll make you agree to go out with me too." His smirk getting bigger.

"I like to see you try." She retorted back at him as she turned her back from him and started walking down the stairs to go home.

"I'll accept that challenge." His smile never faded as he found something new to occupy his time.
