First Time:
"We are now starting Singles One!" The voice echoed thru out the auditorium. "Rikkai Dai Fuzoku, Yukimura Seiichi vs Seishun Gakuen, Echizen Ryoma."
"Hmm. So it started already." A black haired lady spoke from a corner of the place.
"We are late." Another red haired lady commented beside her.
"We better sit. We are causing a ruckus in the audience." The other lady said while walking down the aisle of the bleachers. Her waist length black violet hair swaying as the air gently fanned them while her eyes are fixated on the games ahead.
"Guess we need to huh." Another brown haired lady commented as she followed the black haired teen.
As they made their way to their seats near the front row, almost all eyes were fixated to them. Just who the heck are those lovely ladies? were all the common thoughts as they stare at the group.
"Atobe, look." Oshitari told their captain and nodded towards the seat where the ladies are seated. "I just saw them today"
"Who are they?" Mukahi asked, looking in the direction as well.
"Ore – sama don't care." Atobe shrugged and went back to watching the game but before he turned his gaze away from the group, he accidentally met her eyes. Deep violet meet deep blue. Those deep violet eyes held so many emotions that made him curious. It promised passion, promise and fidelity. Who are you? Then those deep violet orbs shifted their gaze.
"You know them Yanagi?" Yagyuu asked as he noticed the crowd murmuring 'they are sooo pretty".
"Unfortunately no. But I have a feeling that they know someone from Seigaku. They wouldn't be here for a match if they don't someone from the playing teams. And I know that we don't know them." Yanagi explained logically as he stared at the group.
"But they definitely are head turners." Marui commented as he popped a gum while checking the group.
"Kami – sama! They are pretty." Momoshiro whistled as he noticed the group.
"Mysterious" Fuji smiled and everyone from the Seigaku team sweat dropped when they saw that smile. Why not? It is unusual for Fuji to smile that way after all.
"So, they did really come even if they are late." Coach Ryuuzaki grinned while eyeing the group.
"Won set and match by Seigaku's Echizen! 7 games to 2!" The announcer shouted as the game ended.
"Where are you going KC?" The red haired lady asked as she noticed KC stood from their bleachers.
"Just saying hi to someone I know, Minako." KC replied, her eyes showing mischief in them. Well, she is a kid after all though she might appear serious.
"Let her be Minako. You know her." The black haired teen smiled while watching the retreating back of KC.
"She is in for a surprise, right Aya?" The brown haired teen asked the black haired teen beside her while looking at Coach Ryuuzaki at the bench
"We will know Yuki. She is your sister after all." Aya grinned.
"Hey look! The goddess is walking in our direction." Shishido commented to their group as he saw KC walking away from her team.
"I don't care. Let's go team. I am having a party at my house, who's going?" Atobe stood and turned only to bump into a set of black violet hair.
KC closed her eyes as she felt herself falling. OMG! I'll hit the floor! But the impact that she is waiting did not , she felt strong arms around her waist keeping her steady on the ground. And she inhaled that so masculine scent that tickles her nose. Slowly, she opened her eyes just to get face to face with those dark blue orbs. Time seemed to stop for them, the noise in the auditorium fading away. Only each other's presence mattered to the two.
"Eherm!" One single noise from beside them brought the 2 of them back to reality.
"Oops! Sorry." KC backed away from the embrace. "But thanks for helping me." After saying her apologies, KC turned away from her savior and stepped towards Seigaku's team.
"Ore – sama believes that Ore – sama have the right to know the name of the person who had the audacity to bump Ore – sama." Atobe sneered in his oh so confident way.
"Well, I only introduce myself to people worthy to know me." KC retorted and smiled challengingly while looking at the dark blue orbs.
"So you don't know Ore – sama, ahn?" Atobe raised his eyebrow, chin up. "For your information, Ore – sama's name is Ato—"
"Atobe Keigo, right?" KC countered while turning away. "I know you." With that she stepped away from Atobe's group to get near the new champions.
"Just who the heck is she?" Atobe seethed while looking at KC as she stopped a few feet away from the celebrating group.
"Someone is curious huh?" Oshitari teased while everyone from Hyoutei team also looked at KC as she walked away.
KC slowly walked to the new champions of the Men's Junior High Tennis. She stopped a few feet away from them and smiled as she noticed Coach Ryuuzaki was still sitting on the bench with her arms crossed. Then after a few seconds, she went down to the court, behind the old lady.
"You should be happy for them, you know." KC started as she looked at the Seigaku regulars.
"I am happy for them." Coach Ryuuzaki said as she stood and turned to look at KC. "Welcome back KC!" Everyone became silent as they stared at the conversation ahead of them. So Coach Ryuuzaki knows her! Was the common though at the moment. What shocked them all was KC's reply.
"Thanks Obaa – san!" KC beamed as she smiled. "Yes, we are back." And with a gleam in her eyes, the wind suddenly blew hard causing her hair to sway.
"Nani?!" Was the reaction of almost everyone who heard the exchange. She is Coach Ryuuzaki's granddaughter! Fuji opened her eyes revealing his cerulean orbs. Inui dropped his notebook. Momoshiro, Kaidoh, Taka and Kikumaru stopped throwing Echizen in the air. Echizen almost fell. Oishi gapped at them. And Tezuka deeply frowned.
