Chapter 1: The Stranger

It was a nice day. The regulars were practising on the courts. The first years were picking up balls and the second and third years were playing matches. Tezuka and Ryuzaki-sensei were watching over the regulars, who were also practising.

"A little higher please!"

"Alright, Momo!"

Taka-san hit the ball higher and Momo smashed it into the basket with other balls.

"Don," he said.

"Your smashes keep improving," Oishi noticed. "Here's another ball, Eiji!"

"Hoi hoi!"

Eiji jumped and in the middle of a salto he smashed the ball in the same basket as Momo did. He landed on his feet and smiled wide.

"Sugoi ne," Momo said. "I wish I could do that."

"Nya, I'm sure you can never do this," Eiji laughed. "But I like your smashes."

"Thanks, Eiji-senpai." Momo smashed another ball into the basket.

A ball slowly fell in another basket. Fuji didn't really smash, but it looked like he did. He smiled with closed eyes.

"It's your turn now, Echizen," he said.

"Hai, Fuji-senpai."

The two boys switched places when Kaidoh smashed a ball nearby the had of Echizen into the basket.

"Please watch out, Kaidoh-senpai," Echizen mumbled.

"Fshuu."

Kaidoh became a little heated up.

"Ignore him," Inui said. "Besides, there's a 87.9% chance we are done in then minutes."

He was right. After ten minutes Tezuka gathered the members to tell it was enough for today.

Fuji and Eiji changed quickly and walked home together.

"Ma, I must take this way now," Fuji said. "Mata ashita."

He smiled and left.

"Nya, mata ashita," Eiji replied.

He walked further when he saw someone staring at him. He was wearing a black cape and his face was hidden in the shadow of his cap. When Eiji passed him, he followed him. The persoon looked weird and Eiji had never seen him before. He got a strange feeling.

"Why are you following me?" he suddenly asked.

"I have a favor to ask," the person answered. "Please follow me."

"Why would I follow you?" Eiji didn't like this. "Who are you anyway, nya?"

"Please follow me." The person intended to grab Eiji's wrist, but Eiji jumped backwards and ran away.

He kept on running until he arrived his house. He wrinkled his forehead. Who in the world was that stranger and why wanted he Eiji to follow him? He didn't know the answeres, but he wished he wouldn't face him anymore. He went to his room when he arrived at home and started to make his homework, but the stranger kept his attention. Eiji didn't know what to do, but then it was time for dinner. While eating Eiji alread forgot about the stranger, it was nothing of his concern.

But he also didn't know it was.
