Prologue
She waved goodbye to her friends and teammates as she approached her grandmother in the car ready to leave.
"Bye Kyu-chan-sempai, Mi-chan-sempai, Ju-sempai, Hiro-Sempai, Mijun-nee-san, Iwao-san, Hitome-san, Kitame-buchou. I'll miss you guys." The girl cried as she hugged each and every member of her team and friends.
"Bye Sa-chan!!" exclaimed a girl with long dark brown hair pulled up into a ponytail. She was waving wildly at her friend and now ex-teammate with sad eyes. "Be sure to visit us sometime"
"I will… you guys visit too" She said her last goodbyes to her friends and headed to the car. She entered the car and watched her friends from inside the window as the car drove off. She sighed. What will I do without you guys.. I already miss you. Her grandmother saw her gloomy expression and sighed.
"You know Sakuno, they can visit anytime, you can visit them too from time to time. And besides I'm sure that they'll make it into the nationals. They are the best tennis team there is" Ryuuzaki Sumire told her granddaughter.
"I know ba-chan, but I want to be there, with them for the tournaments, as part of their team." She explained.

Hours past when she awoke from her slumber in the car. She rubbed her eyes off the grogginess and stared at the house they were to stay at. She got out of the car and headed towards the house. Her grandmother was already unloading their boxes from the car and the van with the help of the movers.
"Domo for the help" Her grandmother thanked the movers as they drove off back to wherever they're supposed to be. Her grandmother then turned back towards the house. "come on Sakuno, we have a lot of unpacking to do."
"hai… I'm coming" Sakuno ran in the house. Inside was an ordinary size house. On the right is the living room, and further down the hall is the kitchen and dining room. To her left were the stairs that would lead her to the second floor. As she walked up the stairs, she heard her grandmother telling her to pick her room and start unpacking before dark. So as she walked she looked around checking each room. The first door on the left was a small room with plain white walls and carpeted floor. She didn't want that room. She looked on further. The first door on the right was another room smaller than the other one with the same walls and carpet. She shook her head no. She walked further and opened the door of the nest door to the left. Her eyes gleamed at the sight of the room.
It was big and very spacious. The walls weren't white. They were red with black carpeted flooring. The window was big and it lead her to her own balcony. She stepped inside the room, and noticed that there was another door on the far end of the right wall. She walked to the door and opened it. There she found a grand bathroom. It was bigger than a usual bath room. There was a shower and a tub, a clean rounded sink and a mirror big enough so you can see the whole bathroom. The window was also big enough to see outside while in the bathtub. She walked out of the bathroom and headed for the balcony. She smiled at the scenery before her. The view was beautiful. She can see the whole city in all its glory and the ocean past the city.
She ran downstairs where the boxes were and grabbed her stuff. She brought them upstairs and started unpacking. After unpacking about four or five boxes of her things, she decided to take a rest. She skipped downstairs and found her grandmother in the kitchen putting things in the fridge.
"Ne, Sakuno-chan.." she started while looking in the box of food and condiments they brought. She looked at her granddaughter who watched her and waiting for her to continue. "…could you go the grocery and buys us some vegetables, milk, meat and snacks. It seems that I forgot to go shopping yesterday" she told her granddaughter hooping she would say yes.
"sure ba-chan, besides I can tour around the neighborhood" Sakuno replied. "Just let me go change" she said as she ran up to get changed. She came back down wearing a yellow baby doll top and white short shorts held up with a light blue belt. She grabbed her purse and sandals and headed out but not before telling her grandmother. "bye- Ba-chan, I'll be back soon"

Sakuno was walking peacefully around the neighborhood while carrying her groceries in one hand.
Seems like a very peaceful city. I wonder if they have a tennis court around here. She thought to herself as she walked down the street. On the way home, she heard some yelling . She followed the shouting all the way to the park. She smiled in glee a she found the strangers. They were playing tennis and arguing who got the point. She wanted to see the game, so she walked closer to the group. She noticed that they were all guys around her age or older by a year or two.
"Come on! That was my point Mamushi" yelled a tall boy with spiky hair. He reminded her of Kyu-chan.
"Urusai Baka yarou!" growled back the other guy. He had a bandana on. She smiled thinking that he was just like Iwao-sempai.
"Ne, Echizen. Who's point was that?!" asked the guy with spiky hair. Sakuno looked around to see if there were anyone else there. then she heard an answer.
"Hn" said the voice. She followed the voice and found the most handsome boy she had seen. She was sure he was the same age as her. He wore a hat above his head. She gasped as she saw his eyes, they were intense greenish hazel with a tinge of gold cat-like eyes and they seemed like they were glowing. She saw him smirk at her, which made her blush and turn her head to the right. She started walking away when she heard someone yelling "watch out". As she was about to get hit by the ball on the back of her head, she stepped aside and using her free hand, she caught the ball, that seemed to be smoking. She turned around to give it back to the group. When she saw their faces, jaws dropped, she nearly let out a series of laughter, but she contained herself. She walked back towards the group with ball in hand.
Since the two older guys were still inside the court, she walked towards the closest person. The person who opened the door to get the ball, who happened to be the cute boy that was staring at her earlier. She reached out the ball towards him. He just watched her.
"Ano… Kore" she gave it to the boy and headed beck home. He just stared at her.

The next day.. they found out that they all went to the same school together. They met each other and they dragged her towards the tennis courts. She saw her grandmother at the tennis courts. She was their coach.
They finally reached the courts and she stood by her grand mother. Her grandmother smiled at her as she called on the team.
"Minna, you did well today. Before dismiss you, I'd like to introduce my granddaughter…" she stated as she looked at the girl beside her. Sakuno stepped forward and bowed to the group.
"ah… Ryuuzaki Sakuno desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu" She looked up at the member. She noticed that they were all wearing a jacket that says Seigaku Tennis Club. One by one the members introduced themselves.
"Tezuka Kunimitsu desu. Captain of the tennis team" A guy with brown hair and glasses said. He had stern eyes. Almost like Kitame-sempai.
"Oishi Shuichiro desu. Fuku-buchou of the tennis team" He seemed nice. His hair was weird though.
"Fuji Syuusuke. A regular. Yoroshuku" a boy shorter than the first two smiled. His eyes were closed. Whoa… exactly like Hitome-sempai.
"Inui Sadaharu. Data man." A guy with glasses said. Without looking up from the green book he writes on. She had an awkward mile. That is definitely Ju-sempai.
"Ano… Kawamura Takashi. Yoroshku" he bowed. She blushed at the sudden action. She bowed back. He's even more hyper than Mi-chan.
"Hoi Hoi!! Kikumaru Eiji des-U. Yoroshiku!!" he jumped towards her shaking her hand happily.
"Kaido Kaoro… Fushhh" he hissed. Hehe Iwao-sempai I found a pair for you. She laughed to herself.
"Konnichiwa! Momoshiro Takeshi. But you can call me Momo-chan-Sempai" he said smiling wildly at her. Kyu-chan, you would be so happy. Then she finally reached the last person. She blushed.
"Yo. Echizen Ryoma." He smirked at the blush that formed on her cheeks even before his introduction.
"Yoroshiku" she bowed to everyone.
"Alright. I hope you guys would take care of my granddaughter. You're all dismissed. I'll see you tomorrow.
"hai!" the regulars replied. Ryuuzaki-sensei turned to her granddaughter.
"Sakuno chan, I'll have to go ahead of you. Do you mind walking home by yourself?" she asked.
"Iie… daijoubou. I can walk home." Sakuno smiled at her grandmother as she left her in the court. She was about to step out of the court when she was called. She turned around to see that it was the spiky haired guy from yesterday.
"hai? Eto…" she pondered trying to remember the name. ".. ah.. momoshiro-sempai .."
"Momo-chan-sempai." He insisted. She blushed and nodded her head. He smiled widely and asked her to follow him to the rest of the regulars. The redhead saw her behind his kouhai and jumped at her.
"Nya! Sakuno-chan is so kawaii" he jumped and hugged her making her blush from the close contact. "ne ne sakuno chan, how old are you?" he asked once he had let go of her.
"e-eto… fourteen" she replied blushing at the stares of her sempai's. She blushed more when she met the gaze of who was called Echizen Ryoma.
"Ne Echizen, she's your grade." Fuji told the first year, who lowered his cap to cover the blush from anyone to see. Fuji smiled at his kouhai he then turned to the girl. "would you like to join us for a snack? its eiji's treat." he asked while pointing at the hyper red head.
"Gomen demo.. i have to go home... maybe next time... sumimasen" she bowed then left before any of them could protest.
