Disclaimer: I do not own Prince of tennis. Just my OCs.

Hey, my name is Kira, Yuki but you can call me Yuki. I'm a first year at Seishun Gakuen. My parents put me in this school to see if I would be able to find a sport I like, or maybe because they wanted me to fall in love with the sport that they played. Anyway I guess it can't be that bad. I'll try it for now…

"I'm going now!"

I called into the house,

"Have a safe trip!"

my mother called back. As I walked towards my school I stifled a yawn and hefted the bag that my mother and father had made me bring…after stuffing two rackets, a few tennis balls, and my books in it…to school into a more comfortable position. I yawned again before walking into the school building.

The first thing I did when I got to my classroom was to sit down in a random seat and bury my head in my arms. Did I mention they made me go extra early, thinking that I would get lost. Well guess what? I didn't. Ugh. Now I'm stuck at school, early, for another…hour or so…

"Great…"

I murmured out loud. And then I realized there were voices shouting outside the window. I looked out of the window and noticed a whole bunch of people on the tennis courts. I shrugged to myself,

"At least it's someone…"

I shouldered my bag and walked out while stifling yet another yawn.

"…"

I raised an eyebrow lazily at the sight before me. Two boys were holding the front of each other's shirts and were yelling at each other while another boy was trying to calm them down.

"Why not just knock them unconscious? It saves time and air."

I drawled out. What? I wasn't a morning person. All turned to look at the newcomer…or in other words, me. And suddenly a whole truckload…no make that three spaceships of questions erupted at me. I blinked in surprise,

"Uhmm…"

and I was saved by a loud voice that boomed,

"30 laps for disrupting practice!"

I looked past all the tall people (well just a couple…I am not that short…)

"Oh!"

Everyone turned to look at me again,

"I remember now! You're Tezuka, Kunimitsu right? Buchou to the boys tennis club of Seigaku."

Tezuka blinked at me with that face of his,

"Oh right…laps…"

and then I started off leaving everyone to stare after me and then they realized that a girl was beating them and started running like their lives depended on it. After about twenty laps I heard loud noises and turned around so that I was running backwards and saw more than half the club on the ground gasping for air and some of them were even in a dead faint. Suddenly another boy appeared out of nowhere holding a pitcher of dark green liquid,

"Whoever is last or finishes a lap under a minute will drink a cup of this…"

he said, his glasses glinting. He might have mentioned the name but I hadn't heard it. I had thrown off my bag and turned around and started running like crazy. There was no way I was drinking that! I mean seriously it's not even a natural color and it's letting off smoke! Soon I was at the front of the line with seven other boys who were wearing a different uniform than everybody else.

"No way! She's keeping up with the regulars'!"

I heard someone call out. I shrugged. I didn't see what was so special about it. Soon after we all crossed the finish line at the same time. The boys collapsed as I walked over to my bag and back,

"You know you shouldn't sit there like that. You should let your muscles relax by walking around or something."

I said as I neared them once again.

"At least those weird Hyotei people knew that much…"

All heads once again swiveled in my direction,

"You know Hyotei?"

"Yea, I train with them every so often."

I said and noticed the time,

"…All of you have approximately….2 minutes to get changed and get to class…"

I announced. And in the frenzy that followed I don't think anyone remembered me. Not like anyone ever did.

I waited outside of the classroom as the teacher calmed the class down. And then the door was slid open,

"You may come in now."

I walked into the class amid loud whispers,

"Hi, my name is Kira, Yuki. It's nice to meet you."

I introduced myself. The teacher walked over to stand next to me.

"Hey! You're that girl from earlier!"

Someone exclaimed from near the windows.

"And you're one of the people who fainted after drinking that weird liquid…"

I mumbled, but I'm sure the first row heard me because they started laughing soon after. Someone raised their hand,

"Yea?"

"Where did you go to school before?"

I stiffened,

"Hyotei Gakuen."

I answered.

"Aaah…"

After finally escaping the classroom and heading outside for lunch I found a quiet area and a conveniently placed tree. I swung onto the lowest braches and laid down on it,

"now to catch up on my sleep."

I yawned and closed my eyes.

"Cheh…"

School was over and I was dismayed to find out that my parents had signed me up for the tennis club. I currently had a racket in my hand and was twirling it around my wrist in annoyance.

"What to do…"

and since I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking I walked into a very hard thing.

"Ack. Sorry."

I said when I noticed who it was and also because I had managed to catch his racket in my other hand and was twirling on my other wrist,

"Ugh."

I stopped twirling his racket and flipped it into the air and caught it by the racket head and offered the grip to him,

"Your racket."

After he had taken it I bowed stiffly,

"Can't say I didn't learn any manners."

I muttered. He blinked at me,

"You're the girl from earlier."

He said with a raised eyebrow,

"You disrupted practice, please refrain from doing so in the future."

"Cheh. Whatever Tezuka-sempai. I never listened to Kei-sempai. Why should you be any different?"

But I gave another curt bow anyway before continuing on my way. And since I'm so good at learning I walked into another person and once again caught their racket the same way I had caught Tezuka's.

"Ah. You're Kikumaru, Eiji right?"

The red head nodded staring at my hands,

"Oh this is yours."

I returned his racket the same way I had returned Tezuka's,

"Do you need something?"

I asked as he stared at my other hand which was still twirling my racket,

"Do you play?"

he asked.

"Kind of. I learned from my parents and those Hyotei people."

His face lit up,

"Can I play you?"

He asked.

"Eh…would Tezuka-sempai allow it?"

Apparently he did, because a few minutes later we were on the court.

"…"

I stared at the net with a bored expression on my face, 'imagine if …' before I could finish my thought a shout pierced through the air,

"Yuki lied!"

I sweat dropped as I turned around to face the third year Hyotei acrobatics specialist.

"Gakuto…I did not lie. I didn't ask him to play me. Anyway I find acrobatics annoying."

"…"

Gakuto's face looked like this: - - ,

"But you use it to!"

he shouted back. I growled before storming off the court, completely forgetting about my match and jumped/tackled Gakuto to the floor. Lucky for him Yuushi and the rest of the team was there. Kei had Kabaji pull me off of him,

"Now Yuki we wouldn't want you to hurt him."

I growled,

"Put me down Kabaji."

He did as I 'asked'. And then my face turned into a smile,

"Chouta-kun! Ryou!"

I cried as I saw my two most favorite people from the Hyotei team.

I ran over to them and hugged them both. Ryou grumbled about it being embarrassing, though I knew otherwise.

"Hello Yuki-chan."

"Neh Chouta-kun you don't have to use the honorifics. We've known each other long enough."

Chouta shook his head. I just let it slide, oh well until next time then.

"Oh! Why'd everyone come over?"

"We were going on a team trip and Atobe thought it wouldn't be complete with ought you."

My face fell almost instantly,

"I can't go. I'm not part of the team. I'm not even part of Hyotei."

I mumbled. The next thing I know I'm being led away by the hand.

"H-hey! Ryou!"

He didn't stop.

"I need my bag and stuff ya know…"

I muttered. He stopped and let go of my hand,

"then hurry up! We don't have all day!"

I was use to his yelling and I ran over to where I had left my bag. Then I ran into the girls locker rooms and stuffed my school uniform into the bag. I was currently dressed in some black cargo pants and a red short sleeved baby tee and a white long sleeved shirt under that to create a layered look and I also had a chain hanging out of my pocket.

"Done!"

I had, of course forgotten about Seigaku until then.

"What are you doing here?"

I heard someone say. I turned around to see a second year regular,

"Ah…Kaidoh, Kaoru right?"

I didn't wait for a reply,

"We were leaving."

And then I remembered Eiji,

"Ah! Kikumaru-sempai! I'm sorry but I can't have that match against you!"

It turned out to be another training session with the Hyotei team. I was actually enjoying myself when a bunch of girls appeared at the top of the staircase and swarmed the boys. One of them, the leader I suppose turned to me,

"What are you doing here?"

She asked. She like everyone else at Hyotei had heard the story of why I dropped out of their school.

"Atobe-sama and the rest of the team don't need the likes of you in their presence. Please dismiss yourself at once."

I swallowed but didn't say anything and quietly placed my racket back into my bag and turned to go,

"That's right run home to mommy."

She continued. I walked towards the exit,

"I…I'm sorry guys. I told you that I shouldn't be here."

I said.

"Oh and don't speak to them as if you're on the same level. You will never get past the poor line anyway."

I took a breath of air into my lungs and nodded stiffly,

"I'm sorry."

I said and then continued walking. The next thing I know I'm wrapped in a pair of arms. Well more like a bunch of arms around me. Two on my shoulders, two on my waist, and one on my head. The rest of the team just stood around me protectively,

"Excuse me ladies but if I remember clearly we invited Yuki to come along with us. Not you so if you would please."

Yuushi said, polite as ever. The girls glared at me as they passed. As soon as they left Kei-sempai, Yuushi, Gakuto, Chouta-kun, and Ryou started going on about how I shouldn't let others push me around. I smiled at them happily, as tears filled my eyes and I hugged the nearest person and it somehow turned into a group hug,

"I know. I know."

I repeated,

"I know."

Ha! I reformatted it! now to do 14 more chapters...i sense a major headache...
