Hello everyone. Thank you taking a chance to read my story. I'm somewhat new to writing and this my first upload to FF. I hope you enjoy it. Please leave a review and critique me. I want to improve my writing. Thank you!
"Rina, it's time to for you to wake up. Rina~!" I groggily opened my eyes to find my older brother gently shaking my shoulders to wake me up.
"Onii-san…five more minutes please?" I pleaded; giving him the best puppy eyes my tired state could pull. Usually, it was not a problem for me to wake up but there was a tennis special the night before showcasing Seigaku's tennis team. Even though I go always watch my brother and his team play tennis, the fact there were on T.V was exciting.
"Rina, if you don't get ready soon, I'll leave without you." My eyes shot open and I jumped off the bed to run to the bathroom. Cursed my brother complex, he always know how to get me worked up. It's not my fault I have brother complex, how could anyone not when their big brother is Fuji Syusuke. I love all my siblings; Yumiko and Yuta, but I love my big brother the most. I ran downstairs to see Syusuke waiting by the door for me. I quickly yelled good-bye to my sister and parents and linked my arm with Syusuke.
"Ne, Onii-san, can I come see you during your practice?" I asked on our way to school.
"Of course. I would love it if someone were to bring me water when I practice." Syusuke smiled.
"I can do that. I don't want Onii-san to get dehydrated from playing tennis!" I beamed, letting go of his arms to clap.
"I have the cutest little sister in the world." He smiled and ruffled my hair. I smiled cheerfully at his affections. I love my Onii-san the best.
When we arrived at the school gate, we met up with his friends, fellow tennis regulars. Kikumaru was chatting with his double's partner, Oishi. I could tell Kikumaru was really into the conversation because his arms were flailing around and his was jumping up and down in a hyperactive manner. Oishi, being the calm one, was smiling and nodding his head to show that he was following the conversation. When they noticed our presence, Kikumaru ceased his jumping and turned his attention to us.
"Good Morning~nyah!" He pounced and started hug me in an overly affectionate manner. I don't like it when anyone but my brother touches me. I value Kikumaru as a friend but the skin contact was getting too much for me. I could feel my face heating up from embarrassment. I felt his touch gone within a split second. I looked up to see that Syusuke was holding Kikumaru back with a scary expression on his face. You know when my big brother means business when his eyes are open.
"Please refrain from embarrassing my precious little sister, Kikumaru-Kun." He returned his face to normal but the threatening presence was still there.
"Gomen ne Fuji-kun. I just get excited when I see Rina-chan. She's just too cute to tease." Kikumaru laughed as he rubbed the back of his head. I blushed even harder with his compliment.
"I only like it Onii-san compliments me…"I mumbled and his behind Syusuke. We chatted for a few minutes more until we heard the first warning bell. Syusuke and I parted ways when he headed towards the third year classrooms of the building and I went to the second year classrooms. I sat down in my seat and started to chat with my friend in front of me.
"Rina-chan, did you see the tennis team on television last night?" She asked. We giggled as we gossiped about our male tennis team. "After the spotlight on Seigaku, there was a segment about Shitenhoji Middle School in Osaka.
"Shitenhoji Middle School? I've never heard of them." I commented. The only tennis teams I know are the ones that Seigaku has played against.
"The captain of the team is so hot!" She sighed. Her eyes brightened up and sparkled as she reminisce about the image she saw on the T.V.
" Onii-san is probably more attractive that he is." I retorted. In my eyes, my big brother is the best person in the world.
"That's true. Fuji-sama is the prince of our school." She blushed at the thought of my brother. I couldn't help but smile as her cuteness. "Ne, Rina-chan. How do you expect to find a boyfriend with your intense brother complex? It's not like you can date him." She added.
"It's not like I don't want a boyfriend." I frowned. "It's just that there's not one as great as my Onii-san. Plus, I'm too shy to talk to other guys. I even get embarrassed when they touch me." I blushed at the thought of another man coming in contact with me.
"Aw, Rina. You're so innocent and cute. I seriously wonder why guys aren't asking you out." She gushed as she pinched my cheeks.
"Stop that!" I blushed. "Ayano-chan is more popular with the guys." It's true. Ayano is the second year's beauty. Besides being beautiful, she's so confident in herself. I'm jealous. I'm only able to open up to her and my siblings, especially my big brother.
After the school day ended, I walked over the tennis courts and find the team already practicing. I immediately spotted my big brother watching talking with Tezuka while they watched some of the underclassmen play.
"Onii-san!" I smiled cheerfully. "Good afternoon Tezuka-sempai." I bowed politely and he nodded at my greeting. Besides my big brother, I couldn't help but greatly respect Tezuka. He is one of the greatest players I have ever seen.
"Okay, Tezuka. We can tell the team after practice ends." Syusuke said. I cocked my head in confusion. I wonder what Tezuka wants to tell the team.
"Tezuka was telling me the that Hyotei's tennis team invited our team over to play a practice match with them. Do you want to come with us to watch?" Syusuke explained seeing the curiosity on my face.
"Wherever Onii-san goes, I want to go too…." I remember Hyotei Middle School. They're the school with the rich snobby kids. When I watched the Seigaku vs. Hyotei match a couple weeks ago I was impressed with their tennis team. But their captain, Atobe Keigo, is so vain and conceited. His bold personality terrifies me in a way.
The morning of practice match with Hyotei, Syusuke and I met up with the rest of the tennis team to go the Hyotei Middle School together. Judging from the atmosphere, everyone was excited to go to Hyotei. I don't blame them for their excitement. Hyotei is considered to be one of their biggest rivals in the district. When we arrived to Hyotei, the tennis courts were crowded with its students cheering for the Atobe. Atobe and his teammates walked over to us.
"Even though this is a practice match, watch and be amazed at my prowess." He boasted. I glanced him to take at their team. I blushed when I realized how attractive the Hyotei team is up close. The tall one with silver hair caught me staring and blushed which made me blush an even darker red, if that was possibly. I hid behind my brother and calm myself down. Why am I getting embarrassed? All we did was locked us…I peered over my brother's arm to steal another glance at the team to see that the tall silver haired guy was looking the other way with a tomato red face. I couldn't help but giggle at the sight. Syusuke noticed my giggled and looked over to what I was giggling about. He frowned at the thought of his baby sister possibly developing a crush on a guy. Rina was his precious little sister. The same little that innocently asked if they could get married in the future when they were kids. He wants his baby sister to stay innocent forever. Unlike his naïve little sister, he noticed a lot of guys eyeing her since they entered the school grounds. There's not way he'll let anyone taint his little sister.
"If he tries anything to her, I'll have to take care of him like the rest ofguys that tried doing the same." Syusuke mentally started formulating possible plans to keep guys away from his baby sister.
