Chapter 1: Homecoming and Fame
He stood there before all of them. He just gave his vow of conquering the whole world with his skills. He faces above and walked straight and lowered his cap to hide his forming tears. He wished he would never leave. But NO, his perverted-stupid father insists on the idea of him going back to States. How he hated the idea, staying with his brother and all. He cannot look back, afraid he might burst into tears. Those tears now rolling down his cheeks, it was not because of departure but because of her. He was aware of her feelings but never did he open a single place on his heart for her. He knew this day would come after, the day where he will leave her behind… without even an acknowledgment of her feelings. But he vowed, when he come home after winning, he, will surely tell her his feelings… he just hope she will wait.
---Present, Morning---
"And here we are folks live in Narita Airport to welcome the famous Japanese tennis player who conquered the world with his skills and his charm. Yes, folks, the one and only Ryoma Echizen, son of the famous samurai Echizen, just came back with not only bearing our nationality but with the title of the Champion of Wimbledon. Here he comes…"
A guy about six feet tall enters the hall of the airport making fans scream his name. His dark green hair flows like water as he walks towards the exit. His golden eyes were hidden under his white cap. He has nothing, even a single reaction painted in his face. He was wearing his usual clothes: red jacket, white shirt, black jogging pants, white rubber shoes. On his back there he carries his tennis bag and his driver carrying his baggage. He tries to go away from his fan girls who were trying to grab every part of his body. He enters the limousine and he was on his way to meet the rest of the gang.
---Somewhere in Tokyo---
"We just got the most exciting news folks, Ms. Ai, have just arrived and shall walk the red carpet any minute now… and there she goes along with her manager Ms. Nani and both are looking very gorgeous."
Walking in the red carpet is a very beautiful and head-turning famous singer, Alexa Ai. She has auburn hair and hazel eyes that are accented with light pink eye shadow. She wore, maybe, one of the most extravagant gowns created by her own designer. It was a pink spaghetti strapped floral gown with swarovski crystals and emerald and ruby colored sequence with matched hand embroidery of such beautiful cherry blossoms. She wears the most heart-melting smile and the blush she always have because of her own shyness. Well, people find it very amusing, while her rivals find it irritating. Why you ask? Because they have this certain idea of why did this pesky, clumsy little girl ever entered the showbiz if she is that very shy-type of a person. People love her music, her voice, her face and her kindness. But one question always enters peoples mind whenever they hear her sad song 'Where are you?' Why is it she always cries whenever she sings this song? The answer was never answered for she only smiles and answers 'It's a long story'.
---That Night, Echizen Mansion---
Being the winner of several competitions, Ryoma Echizen managed to build his own house where his family stays. Thanks to his perseverance, he now owns one of the biggest mansions in the Kantou region. In this very relaxing place for him, lies behind those black gates, are his wonderful friends and family, former classmates and past acquaintances, welcoming him in open arms. A party was needed for this special occasion.
"O'Chibi!!!!" Eiji Kikumaru and Momoshiro Takeshi shouted in unison as they tackled their baby boy of the team.
"Ne, Kikumaru-senpai, Momo-senpai quit it. I can't breath." Ryoma said.
"Eiji! Takeshi! Stop it!" Oishi Syuichiroh scolded.
"Nya! Nya! Oishi-kun just this once let us be wild!" Eiji replied.
"Eiji, Momoshiro, do you want 20 laps around the mansion?" Tezuka Kunimitsu asked.
"WHAT!?! 20 LAPS!?!" Eiji and Momoshiro said in unison, again.
"Looks like everyone's having fun?" Fuji Syusuke said.
"Ii data, Echizen: grew 2 more feet and 3 inches…blah…blah…" Inui whispers as he scribbles every data in his notebook.
"Ssssss…" Kaidoh Kaoru hissed.
"Welcome back sweetie." Mrs. Echizen welcomed as she hugged his begotten son.
"So son, how's our love life?" Nanjiro asked.
"Do you always need to ask that every time we meet?" Ryoma said with a very fierce look in his eyes.
"N-no. I was just joking son." Nanjiro withdraw.
"Perverted father…" Ryoma whispered under his breath.
"What did you say!?!" Nanjiro shouted, enraged.
"Oi, look." Eiji called out.
"It's Ms. Alexa Ai." Mrs. Echizen exclaimed.
"The famous singer?" Ryoma asked.
"Yeah, Tezuka invited her to welcome you up." Fuji answered.
"Tezuka-buchou, how did you know her anyways?" Kawamura asked.
"She's my little sister." Tezuka answered.
"WHAT!?!" everyone said except for Kaidoh and Ryoma.
"She was kind of left to my parents care after her grandmother died." Tezuka said.
"How come I didn't know that?" Oishi asked himself.
"Ms. Ai, this is my son, Ryoma and his teammates in the Tennis Club of Seigaku." Mrs. Echizen introduced.
"H-Hello, Good Evening, Nice to meet you all." Alexa said shyly.
She was wearing a simple pink turtle neck and an elegant long white skirt and pink sandals. Her hair was put into a half-pony and she was wearing a necklace with an Emerald pendant.
"Come on Alexa." Tezuka called as he walked pass Oishi.
"Coming… Excuse me." She said as she flashed a smile.
"She looks familiar…" Ryoma thought aloud.
"Hmm, it looks like someone has his eyes for Tezuka's adorable little sister… huh, Ryoma?" Momo asked.
"What? What's with your crazy mind?" Ryoma asked.
