THE PRINCE OF TENNIS AND THE ICE PRINCESS
CHAPTER 1
"Ryoma, wake up!" Reina pulled off his brother's blanket. "RYOMA!" Guess, I'm getting tired from waking him off, mind Reina.
"Yes…yes...I'll wake up now," Ryoma jumped from his bed and go to the bathroom. Reina make up his brother's bed and then went down.
"Good morning, oka-san." Reina smiled and sit on the dining room.
"Good morning, Reina. Where is Ryoma?" asked Rinko. Reina pointed her finger up and ate her breakfast. "Good morning," Ryoma sat beside Reina and have his breakfast.
"Ne, Rei. You wore the boy's uniform, don't you?" Ryoma pulled Reina's wig off. Reina nodded and slapped Ryoma's hand off from her hair. "I don't like the girl's uniform, it was green and pink," she told him with hated face, "and too girly." She added.
"Well, it'll become your first day at Seigaku." Nanjiroh said, "Are you two fell nervous?"
"Stop that nonsense oyaji." Ryoma sighed, "And stop read those magazines, maybe I must burn it too." Reina glared to her father. Nanjiroh panicked and hide those magazines quickly.
"Ne, Ryoma-san, Rei-chan. It's your bento!" Nanako put them on the table.
"Thank you, Nana-san." Reina smiled, "Oka-san, Oyaji! We're going now." said Ryoma. Nanako waved to them and Reina waved back. "Have a good day!"
…..SETTING SKIPS …
Both of them have arrived on Seigaku.
"Ryoma, since we are new students, shouldn't us go to the principal's office?" asked Reina. Ryoma nodded and stopped a girl with pigtails, "Can you show to us which way to the principal office?" The girl blinked for few times, "Eto.., It's that way." and then pointed a way. "I see, thank you." Ryoma pulled Reina hand away to the principal's office. They crossed some classes; one of them was class 3-1. Fuji saw when both of the freshman run crossed their class, "Ne, Tezuka. I think we'll have some new friends." Tezuka looked confused after heard what Fuji said, but he only focused back on the lesson.
"I guess we have arrived," said Ryoma. Reina smirked at him and knocked the door.
"Come in!" the principal's voice. Ryoma open the door and Reina followed him in. "Ah, you two must be the new students. I'm the school's principal. We already have your transfer paper, but Echizen Reina don't you a girl? Your paper said so."
"Yes, I do a girl. But are this okay for me to don't wear the girl's uniform. I think it's terrible." Reina answered. The principal chuckled after heard what Reina said.
"Well, that's okay. And welcome to Seigaku for you two. Your class will be on 1-2, and here your schedules."
"Thank you very much. We're leaving now." Ryoma and Reina came out and walked to their class. "Our first lesson was English," said Reina. "Che..Mada mada dane," Ryoma smirked. Reina pulled out glasses from her bag and wore it.
"So Rei, you will wear your glasses?" she nodded. Then they arrived on their class.
"Excuse me," Ryoma went in and Reina just followed him.
"So, you two are my new student. Well, I am your English teacher Kujou Ryuki. Since, we are in English class, why don't you two introduce yourself with English." Ryoma sighed and Reina leaned a bit off her head.
"My name is Echizen Ryoma. I'm 11 years old. I know that I'm younger by one year than all of you. Nice to meet you all." Ryoma's English was really fluent and almost all of the students awed by him. "Don't he cute?" there some comment like that. Reina chuckled a little. "It's your turn, Rei!" said Ryoma irritated. Reina smiled to him and back to the class. "Okay, my name Echizen Rei. I'm Ryoma's twin. And I'm 11 years old too..." her English also fluent like Ryoma's. Now the class are murmured around and said, "They are cute.""Kawaii" and lots more.
"Alright, any questions for them?" asked Kujou-sensei. A girl pointed. "Okay, Tomoka-san!" That girl asked, "Do you guys played any sports?"
"Yes, we are. We play tennis." Ryoma and Reina answered. "What's your hobby?" asked a boy. "Me, I'm reading." she answered, "and I sleeping." Answered Ryoma.
"Okay, I think that's enough. Umm..Ryoma-san, you can go sit on the seat beside Tomoka-san. Rei-san, your seat is beside the window." Ryoma and Reina nodded then walked to their seat, ignoring the looks of the students.
"It's boring," she started to lean her head on the window. Ryoma must be sleeping right now, she glanced over Ryoma's seat and found her prediction came true. Reina sighed and tried to focus on the teacher.
…..SETTING SKIPS …
"Ryoma, wake up! It's already the lunch time!" Reina kicked Ryoma's feet to wake him up. "Aah..Rei. That's hurt." Ryoma stretching his arm a little. Reina brought his and her bento out of the class.
"Where are we going, Rei?" asked Ryoma confused. "I want to eat on the rooftop, you don't mind it, don't you?" Reina asked him. "Of course, I'm not." He ruffled Reina's hair.
"Here we are!" Reina sat on the corner and opened their bento. "Ne, Ryoma. The fried rice was my handmade." Ryoma smiled and murmured 'thank you, Rei' they started to eat their bento.
After few minutes, the door at rooftop opened. There were some boys, one with red hair, one with black egg-head, a brunette, a guy wearing bandana, a stoic face guy, a black hair and tall guy, a guy who wore glasses and brought a green notebook, and a brunette who always smile.
Reina stared to the smiled boy and suddenly remember something, "Syusuke..," she murmured, the brunette then looked to her way, and his eyes opened.
"Rei-chan, is that you?" Reina nodded and shakes his hand, "It's been a long time, don't it Syusuke?" Reina smiled and the brunette pulled her for a hug. "I miss you, Syuusuke. And stops hug me!" Reina pushed him back. "Rei, explained." Ryoma asked. She whispered something to him and Ryoma nodded in understanding, "I see, thanks for taking care of Rei."
"Ne, Fujiko. Who are these boys, nya?" said the redhead boy.
"Sorry about our rudeness. I'm Echizen Ryoma and it's my twin, Echizen Reina."
"I'm Kikumaru Eiji, nya. It's my double partner Oishi Shuichiro. That Momoshiro, the shy one is Takashi Kawamura. That one is Inui, and he is our bouchou, Tezuka Kunimitsu," said Kikumaru cheerfully, "Ne, Fuji, what's your relationship with him?"
"Him?" Fuji chuckled, "Sorry, Eiji. But she is a girl and her name is Reina." Fuji explained.
"He's right, I'm a girl." Reina release her wig, so her real hair was fell down. The boys gaped and Reina walked to Ryoma's side. "Do you people have any problem?" said her coldly. "Syuusuke, will you played me again?" she smirked. "Of course, Rei-chan."
"Ne, are you two dating?" asked Oishi. "I.e.…Data," Inui wrote on his notebook.
"That couldn't be happen!" exclaimed Fuji and Reina on the same time.
"So what's your relationship with chibi-chan, Fujiko?" asked Kikumaru. "Well, it's a story then…"
FLASHBACK~~~
It was 5 years ago…
"Syusuke, Yuuta, there was our new neighbor. Why don't you two greet her?" asked Yumiko. The boys nodded and go to her house. "Aniki, she is same year as me but she is one year younger." Yuuta told Syuusuke. In front of the house, they found a girl with dark green hair and cat's like eyes.
"Hello, you must be our neighbor. I'm Fuji Syuusuke and it is my otouto, Fuji Yuuta."
"Hello, I'm Echizen Reina. Nice to meet you." She looked down, "Echizen-san?" asked Fuji.
"Umm…can you two just call me Reina or Rei instead Ryoma? Because...Be...Before it, I was lived in America." She shyly talked to Fuji and Yuuta.
"Okay, but can you call us just by our first name too?" Fuji asked. "Hai, Syuusuke-nii, Yuuta-kun!" said her cheerfully, her face is some kind of shining. Syuusuke and Yuuta blushed by looking her smile.
END OF FLASHBACK~~
"So that how it's began." Tezuka nodded. "Don't you Tezuka-sempai? Syusuuke-sempai talked a lot about you. He said you are almost at oyaji's level." Reina asked.
"Eiji-sempai, you said Tezuka-sempai was your captain. In what club?" Ryoma asked Kikumaru.
"Ne, ochibi. We are the tennis' club's regular,-nya"
"Ryoma, don't you talked to me that you're going to join the tennis club?" asked Reina.
"Mada mada dane." Ryoma murmured. "Today was our practice match with Rikkaidai, you can show up." Said Momoshiro. "Hai, Momoshiro-senpai."
"Well, Ryoma. We must go back now. I'll accompany you later." Reina pulled Ryoma's hand and dragged him to the class. "They're cute, nya." Kikumaru jumped and hug Takamura from the back. "I think I saw them earlier," Inui opened his notebook.
"There is, Echizen Ryoma, won 4 consecutive American Junior Tennis tournaments, son of Samurai Nanjiroh, and a winner of a ping pong tournament. And he was being called Prince of Tennis."
"How about chibi-chan, Inui?" asked Kikumaru and took a peek on Inui's notebook. "Echizen Reina, I don't have data about her because all of her data was protected." Explained Inui. All of the regular's eyes except Tezuka, Fuji, and Inui widen after heard that.

REINA POV
"Rei, hurry up!" Ryoma told me. I was closing the zipper when he complained to me. "Okay, let's go, Ryoma!" We walked to the tennis court but he's forgetting the way.
"Ah, sorry Rei. I'm kind of forgetting the way." I sighed and took out a map from my bag.
"We are in right way, but we must turn left now." Ryoma followed me until we reached the tennis court.
"We're here. Well, I'm thinking about…" Ryoma murmured. "About how strong Rikkaidai player." I finished his sentence. Ryoma laughed and I suddenly found Eiji-sempai gloaming at him.
"Ochibi, you'll watch us, will you? Nya." Eiji-sempai still hugged Ryoma and Ryoma's face almost turns to blue. "Sempai, can't breathe" I glared at Eiji-sempai and Eiji-sempai released him.
"Ah, sorry ochibi. Are you okay?" Eiji-senpai asked with worried face.
"Eiji, stop hugs people like that. They can die. Echizen, are you okay?" Oishi-sempai looked like a mother.
"Kikumaru, ten laps around the court!" Tezuka-sempai commanded him. Eiji-sempai pouted and started running.
"Ne, Tezuka. When they will come?" Fuji asked. "I think, we must wait for a few minutes." Tezuka answered. I can heard about what are they talked but the topic was too boring, so I took a seat and started to writing one of my song. I started to writing
My Unforgettable Moment
I'm a lonely
I'm always alone, but you came and changed it
When I saw you for the first time
I really want to asked your name
But I scared to other people
I only want to have a friend
And you're the first who gave me this warm felling
[CHORUS] It's my unforgettable moment
When you came and asked my name
And you're the one who make me believe about~frienship
Unforgettable moment~
I don't know when it started, but I have something about you
I'll always remember, because it my unforgettable moment…..
Time will never change the way, I think about you
You are my first love, and I won't forget this felling
Even if you go
You are still my first love and I won't forget that
That's an unforgettable moment
RYOMA POV
I'm almost out of breath because of Kikumaru-sempai. Wait, where Rei? I looked for Rei around the court and found her under a tree. She was writing. "Rei, is that your song again?" Rei looked up and when found me, she smiled and nodded.
"Chibi-chan wrote song, nya?" Kikumaru-sempai jumped to her place. Reina looked shock but she maintaining her own image and nodded.
"Ne, Rei-chan, it's been a long time since the last I heard you sing. Would you sing today?" Fuji-sempai asked her. Rei looked at me with 'what must I do?' face.
"I don't know, Rei. How about warm up, Rei?" I took out my red racquet. Rei smiled and took her racquet out. Her racquet's color was combined blue and white. I think it suits her so much.
"Tezuka-sempai, it is alright for us to use the tennis court?" Rei asked, Tezuka bouchou nodded so we walked to the court.
"Rough or smooth?" I asked. "Smooth." Rei called out as I spun my racquet before it fell on the smooth side. "Service." "End."
"Ne, Ryoma. It'll be one game match, okay?" asked Rei. I nodded and smirked. "Echizen Reina to serve." "Here I go, Ryoma," she began her serve with normal serve. I returned it almost to the corner and smirked "Rei won't reach that." Rei jumped and flipped once in the air before returned it. The ball hit the ground on my side, but the ball still spinning and then stopped.
"15-love" Rei exclaimed, "Mada mada dane, Ryoma. Don't forget about the fact that I was a gymnastic player, Ryoma!" Rei smirked, tapping her racquet against her shoulder.
"The ball didn't bounce, nya." Kikumaru's, Oishi's, and Kawamura's eyes widen. "Data…" Inui started writing.
"She had gotten better than before," Fuji nodded and Tezuka still with his stoic face.
"I almost forget it, but I won't disappoint you, Rei." Rei murmured, "We'll see about that."
Rei served and I returned it, then she made a lob and I finished that with a smash. I smirked. We continued our game and its end at victory on me. Rei don't look happy, she pouted and then shake my hand. "I won't lose next time, Ryoma." I tugged down my hat and smirked to her, "Even with that injury, your play is still very well." "Oh, shut up, Ryoma." Rei picked her racquet and went out from the court, I followed her along.
NORMAL POV~
"Ne, Chibi-chan, are you an acrobatic player, nya?" Reina smiled, "Maybe yes, and maybe no." she said playfully. "Good play." Fuji gave her a water bottle, she caught it and drinks it. "Thank you, Syuusuke. Ne, Ryoma, want some?" offered her. "Thanks, Rei." Ryoma drank it until the bottle is empty. "No problem." Answered Reina.
"Tezuka, they're here." Said Oishi. There were some player with Rikkaidai's jersey came.
"Syuusuke, do your best!" Reina said. Both of them were on the back of the tree where Reina sat earlier. "Okay, I will." Fuji smiled. "Ne, Syuusuke, can you lean a little?" Fuji looked confused but he leaned over her, Reina kissed his cheek and whispered, "Don't lose, Syuusuke!" Fuji chuckled after looked her blushing face, she turned her face. She is really cute, mind Fuji, his eyes are open now.
"I'll go now, Rei-chan." Fuji ruffled her hair then walked towards the court.
"Rei, come here," shouted Ryoma, Reina walked towards him and standing beside him, "Rei, why your face red?" asked Ryoma. "Nothing, it just the weather was a bit hot," Reina lied, Ryoma only nodded. The Rikkaidai's player already in the tennis court.
"Rei, I think that we have met the red haired boy in America, don't us?" Ryoma asked Reina with English. "Now, you talked about that, I think you're right. He was somehow familiar." Reina staring at the red haired boy who chewed on bubble gum.
"Yukimura, it's nice to meet you again." Tezuka shake the bluenette.
"Ne, Tezuka. The same here." That boy nodded. "Everyone, we'll have our practice match with Seigaku today, remember about don't make a mess!" "Hai, bouchou!" all Rikkaidai's player answered.
"Is that their captain? He is looks pretty." Ryoma murmured. "Don't tell me that you're fall in love with him." Reina added and smirked, "but I fell something sadist about him." Ryoma chuckled softly and found the red haired boy is looking at their way.
"Hello, are you two Ryoma and Reina?" asked the boy. Reina lifted her head and nodded, then her eyes widen, "Bunta!" shouted her. "Ah, it's you, Bunta." Ryoma smirked and tapping his racquet against his shoulder.
"Do you know them, Marui?" asked their captain. Marui nodded and walked towards them
