Hey guys, this is my first time writing a fanfic, so I don't know if it's any good. Enjoy.
Chapter 1: Kanna Ayame
Crap, I'm going to be late! she thought as she glanced at the watch on her left wrist.
A twelve year old girl with a tennis bag on her shoulder was running down the streets of Tokyo. She has just moved here from America and transferred to Seishun Gakuen. Only her first day of school wasn't going so well, as she lost her way around, and the worst thing to happen on your first day is to be late! She glanced at her watch again.
Guess I've got no choice… she thought grimly to herself.
With one step back, her earlier running speed shot up drastically. She ran like a bullet fired from a gun as she frantically searched for her transfer school. No sooner after that she came across a school building, and she read the plaque on the front of the school gate.
This is Seigaku. Phew. I made it on time… she sighed in relief.
She plopped her tennis bag onto the ground and took out a can of grape-flavored Ponta, gazing at it, before putting it back into her bag and entering the school. She went through all her classes and headed right for the tennis courts after that. The boys' tennis team was currently having their practice. The girl surveyed the courts and her sights fell on the team's freshman regular.
She knew that his name is Echizen Ryoma. He had joined the regulars a long while ago and was well-known for his tennis play. She watched him intently as he served a tennis ball over the net to another regular, Momoshiro Takeshi.
When the practice was over, she turned around and left before the club members went into the clubroom to change. She went to the school's front gate and waited there. After waiting for fifteen minutes (though to her, she felt like she waited a full sixty minutes), the freshman named Ryoma was coming alone, leaving for the day. She came around the front gate in front of him and he saw her.
"Long time no see, you bastard!" she said playfully.
"Ayame…?" it took Ryoma a moment to recognize her.
"Yep, it's me," she said as she opened her tennis bag and pulled out the Ponta she was looking at earlier. "Here, I bought this as a hello gift!"
"Sankyuu," Ryoma said as he took the Ponta and drank it. "So why're you here in Japan?"
"America was kinda lonely, so I asked my dad if we could move here," she replied. "He said it was okay, and I asked if I could transfer here. I've heard all about your recent accomplishments. Congratulations on becoming a regular, by the way."
"Doumo," was all Ryoma said.
"I moved into a house not too far away from yours," Ayame went on. "Wanna go home together?"
"Fine," Ryoma replied.
They were about to walk past the front gate until Ayame suddenly stopped.
"Wait," she said, growing suspicious.
"What is it?" Ryoma asked.
"I feel like we're being watched…" Ayame looked around, keeping a serious look on her face, as the tension in the air grew heavy.
Then, in one quick motion, she took out a tennis racket and two tennis balls out of her tennis bag, tossed both balls into the air, swung the tennis racket, and hit both balls at the same time. The balls flew past the front gate, and curved around due to the side spin that she put on both balls. Ayame and Ryoma heard the sounds of both balls hitting something, followed by two shrieks of pain. They peeked around the corner and saw a second year and a third year, who had been hit by each ball.
"Senpai…?" Ryoma was confused as to why they were hanging around behind the front gate.
"Who are they?" Ayame asked Ryoma.
"They're my tennis teammates, Kikumaru-senpai and Momo-senpai," Ryoma replied.
Ayame stepped up to them, glaring at them with her ice blue eyes. Kikumaru and Momo backed off, as the "calm" girl suddenly had the presence of someone who was about to commit a murder.
"Why the hell were you spying on us? Answer me, or I'll kill you!" Ayame said in a threatening tone that would've scared off any five year old kids who heard it.
Momo and Kikumaru are both terrified at the girl who had nearly gave them a concussion and is now threatening death, and at the same time wondering how Ryoma was acting so chill at the fact that the girl he was just talking with suddenly went violent.
"Is it because you think that Ryoma's got himself a new girlfriend, and it'd be me?" Ayame demanded while still maintaining her intimidating tone.
She glared hard at the older boys, who were too frightened to speak. Then, almost as quickly as she switched from calm to violent, she started laughing.
"Me? This bastard's girlfriend? Not a chance!" she said through giggles.
"She's just an old friend of mine," Ryoma explained. "Her name is Kanna Ayame."
"I dunno about them, but your senpai-tachi are creepy, Ryoma," Ayame remarked. "Oh well. Let's go."
Ayame and Ryoma walked past Momo and Kikumaru, ignoring the fact that they were still terrified of Ayame and still haven't moved. They went down the streets towards their neighborhood and stopped at Ryoma's house.
"Oh, before you go home, can you do me a favor and kick that damn old man for me?" Ryoma asked.
"Sure thing," Ayame replied.
They went through the front gate where they found Ryoma's father Nanjiroh lying in front of the house lazily, reading one of his porno magazines. Ayame picked up her pace and went up to Nanjiroh and delivered a swift kick to his face, and Ryoma enjoyed the little scene.
"Die, you old pervert!" she shouted as she kicked and glared at him.
Then, almost instantly after she kicked him, her expression looked calm.
"OK, my job is done, I'm going home now. See you tomorrow, Ryoma," she said as she casually walked out of the front gate.
As Ayame walked alone to her house, she knew that her life was going to be exciting once again, with a certain cocky brat for a friend going to the same school as her.
Yeah, Kanna Ayame is a reference to those two Sengoku characters Ayame and Kanna from MapleStory. It's real uncreative, but my style is revolved around other video games I like.
