A/N: Hello everyone! Once again, I've decided to make a Prince of Tennis story - and this is the fruit of my long pondering. Okay …! It took me five minutes, but still! I've worked real hard in writing it, so I hope you'll enjoy reading it. This is only the first part as I'm concentrating the most on Powerful Rikkai Dai, so, not sure if I'll update much or whatnot. Depends if I get any reviews etc. and if you guys like it. :) Therefore! It's a little side-project! And I might not make every chapter 4000 words, since … well! Anyone would get a little annoyed writing that much! XD Not me though, but dunno if my fingers would fall off, that's why! - and then I wouldn't be able to write at all! O.o
I got a lot of other ideas for stories, where I might come up with the first part and then slowly update, but dunno just yet. We'll see!
Now, please, do enjoy!
Oh yeah, if anyone don't know just yet, this is a RyomaxOC story with a little (FujixOC)!

My Dream Prince
Chapter 1. - First Encounter!
Blonde hair, flowing in the gentle breeze
Sparkling light-blue eyes, looking deep into your soul
A gentle smile, making you feel as if in Heaven
A loving heart, kind to all
Embracing you in a warm hug, as soon as you meet
That is what a real dream prince should look like! That was her ideal man and no one - no one at all! - would ever capture her heart but him!
Well, of course, other aspects wouldn't be minded either …
A white, shining horse
A kingdom in the back-pocket
And ready to defend you from all evil
You might have figured out by now, that there really isn't a chance to actually hit the jackpot with a dream like that. And probably also, that it's not a normal person, who's mind is in charge here.
But let's try and see, shall we?
- - - - -
Normal POV
"So this is it?" She muttered, glancing upwards onto the tall buildings surrounding her in the school-yard. Other students walked for the entrance, passing by her without giving her a single glance. She was just another drop in the ocean … Just another green-clad girl among all others. Not that she minded it very much.
Slowly, the fingers on the clock moved, stopping at the large 8, making the bell go off. It was time …pulling up the straps of her bag a little further, she crossed the yard, aiming for the doors. In her hand she gripped around a rather precious piece of paper. In the corner you would have been able to see a small amount of the script … Welcome to Seishun Gakuen …
Perhaps now is a good time to introduce the heroine of this story? Well, I think it is, so here she comes!
Saichi Furigana, also known as Sucre-chan (please, don't ask why!), a bright and cheerful twelve-year old girl, who got a knack for getting into trouble! Her favourite hobby is to hang out with friends, sleep and read manga. Saichi is outgoing and loves to mess around and be cheerful with her friends, which there's a lot of around pretty much everywhere!
But since she looks and acts like someone running on coffee and sugar all the time; her stamina suddenly runs out and she can be found, lying across the ground, fainting for the lack of sugar. But do not worry, you won't have to feed her or anything, as she makes up for her lack of sleep by doing so that the classes. Of course her grades hold the record - in the lowest - but does she mind? I can't say so … If you ask her, she'd just say grades are for losers - even though some might think it's the other way around?
Thanks to her big sister, who had been obsessed since forever, Saichi got hooked on the manga-train too and now she can't get off again. As she mostly reads the fantasy/romance genres, she easily goes into dream mode and can imagine a prince come and sweep her away. This also makes it hard for her to get a real boyfriend, as she has some really high standards.
But then again, who worries about love in middle school? Anyone? She sure doesn't and firmly, she has stated, that she would not love anyone before high school! Unless he presents a shining white horse, beautiful blonde hair, sparkling blue eyes and a trail of killed demons behind him. Then she'd jump him and ride off into the sunset.
… Only an idiot would dream something like that, right? …
Of course some who could take some of the credit for making her mind a little … stirred into madness would be her family. Well, her mother and father are pretty normal (if possible - tsk, parents, you know …), but then comes her three siblings into the picture.
Her big sister is a little … too bright. Even when the house is on fire, she'd look at it and say "at least we can keep warm by now" - while Saichi is still inside. Indeed warm …! It is also her, who was the one to introduce manga for Saichi.
Her twin-brother, whom she tried acting as if she wasn't related to, since he had a thing for the more … private areas of women … If anyone get my draft? If someone still don't know, it start with a P. So … remembering to lock the door into the bathroom whenever taking a bath might be a good idea …!
Her younger sister; known for always carrying around a cute teddy-bear with her everywhere. Not because she'd might be scared when alone, but because she was hiding something inside it … And once again you'd think it was a little sweet thing, but actually … a paintball-gun with a few changes (made by her), so that it for example could shoot with rubber balls - for her brother when needed.
So … Anyone thinks; that might have something to do with her current state of mind?
Well, no more describing her! You all got the picture, no?
COMPLETE I-DI-OT!

Saichi had been transferred to Seigaku after a quite … unlucky accident at her previous school - of course it hadn't been that severe (except there was no school anymore), so she would have been able to stay if it had been the first time. Unlucky her, it hadn't … "Well!" She clapped her hands together, walking through the halls, searching for the correct room, which she had been assigned. "1-2." She muttered slowly, glancing at a few latecomers, who rushed past her. Perhaps one of them knew where she was supposed to go? But before she was able to gather her courage and turned around to tackle someone, she found herself completely alone. "… Oh …"
But then her sparkling (or more adventuring) eyes fell on a sign above the nearest door, reading 1-2. Lady Luck liked her or something?
"That's new …" She muttered, but then in two quick steps, she stood in front of it, ready to gracefully knock. Raising her hand, she pulled down a lot of air into her lungs, trying to NOT panic! Tap! Tap! She waited for someone to tell her to come in.
Silence …

Inside class 1-2
Everyone was rather bored as their English teacher had a dull voice and easily lulled them all to sleep. Only a few were able to stay awake and scribble down a few notes down. The rest were either throwing paper-balls at each other, giggling and chatting among themselves or … sleeping across the table. The last-mentioned was a young boy with blackish hair, who was snoozing lazily, not caring about what, the teacher tried teaching him - Hey! He'd might as well not care, he'd get paid none the less! And he was anyways better than him too …
The teacher - a man in his middle forties - noticed nothing, as he was too busy listening to his own voice. In love with himself much? He wrote something on the board, explaining you had to this and that, and not that and this. He was too busy to notice the knock on the door.
Two girls though, talking happily to each other, heard it. Glancing at each other and then to the door, they woke up a little. Guests? Tap! Tap! It seemed the person tried once again, as no one seemed to answer. They looked at the teacher, yet he still heard nothing.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The sound was getting quicker, as the person on the other side was starting to get impatient. "Do you think we should refer to it?" One of them asked the other.
"Nah, let's see how it'll go!" The other grinned broadly.
Bock! Bock! BOCK!
The other students' attentions were directly to the brown door too, as the knocking seemed to grow in strength and annoyance. But, the teacher? "… Ah, yes … then you got to- …" There was still no connection ...
- - - - -
Outside
Her eye twitched as she had knocked for the nth-time. "Are they deliberately ignoring me?" She muttered annoyed, once again hammering her hand against it. "Seriously?" In the end she decided to forget manners, as someone didn't have any anyways. She grabbed around the door-handle, sliding the door open. "Yes, excuse me for interrupting, but I got a little tired of trying to connect with you people!" She then said, stepping inside.
And finally! the teacher noticed her. "Eh?" He first said, dumbly. But then he thought it over. "Oh!"
"Yes, oh! very much!"
The rest of the class stared interested at her, trying to figure out who she was. Well, they must have been really stupid … She was wearing the same uniform, the same age and … Well! Of course she was a new student for Christ sake! "Class, I might have forgotten to mention we are having a transfer student today!"
She stared at him. Forgot? She was forgotten?!
"This is-" He paused, looking as if in a pinch. "Well, why don't you introduce yourself?"
She blankly stared at him. "You forgot my name too, didn't you?" Rolling her eyes, she turned her attention to the class again. "Hello everyone! I'm Saichi Furigana, nice to meet you all!" She bowed, greeting her new classmates.
A few raised their hands, as if to ask her questions.
"Now, now, class!" The teacher joined the conversation again. "No questions right now! You can all get to know her better in the break, right now we are in the middle of class!" Slowly the hands fell down again. "Now … where to put you?" He glanced around for an open seat. "Ah! Next to Echizen-kun!"
She continued staring blankly. "Yes, and who's Echizen?"
"…" He pondered about her question.
"…?"
"R-right! Echizen-kun, raise your hand!"
… Nothing happened …
"… Aha … are you sure there's an Echizen in this class? Or perhaps you forgot him over the weekend and now he's dead somewhere?" She mocked.
Yet the teacher had not heard her remark, but was rather ticked off, stomping down the row of seats and stood up in front of the sleeping person. "Echizen! Wake up!" Slamming his hand down hard onto the table, he made the freshman finally wake up.
With groggy eyes, the Echizen-guy looked at his sensei, puzzled. "Huh?"
"What have I said about sleeping in class?"
"Perhaps he forgot?" Saichi suggested, earning herself a glare. "Or perhaps not …" She then muttered, walking down the isle too. "And that must be Echizen-kun?" Her eyes fell on the seat next to him, after she had checked out the boy. He was nowhere near her ideal guy, so she quickly put him in the folder just-another-guy. Placing her bag down and slopping down into the chair, she watched the two. At first the teacher was just as puzzled at the just-awakened boy, but then he returned to the blackboard, forgetting about the incident.
In the mean time Saichi once again looked at the boy, as she had found him staring at her. "… Unless I have two heads, would you mind stop staring?"
"Who are you?" He only asked, completely ignoring her retort.
"Well, if you hadn't been sleeping, you would have known, no?"
Both stared at each other, disliking each other as the blazing sun already.
To think … this was how love sprung … doesn't seem like it …
- - - - -
... First-hand impressions of each other ...
Ryoma: Who ...?
Saichi: He's NOTHING like my love!
This would get interesting …!

IHRHC! Hello, hello, the Author here! So, what do you think of it? Is it a story, which I should continue or just burn in the fire? There's one way to tell me and that would be REVIEWS! :) Yes, yes, indeed! So off you go and tell me what you think.
Did you like the OC? Was she Mary Suish? Or ok? Anything that should be changed?
Is the plot too predictable? (I don't think so myself - but what do I know?! I'm only the auther -.-)
It might have been not that long, but then again; I've only just started! :)
Off you go! Review please!
