Chapter 1: Ryana Sonida

"Attention Airway United Flight 358 is now landing. Arrival at Gate C4"

"Eto Niou isn't that the plane your younger siblings are on?" Marui asked popping his apple flavored gum.

"Ah, finally now we can grab them and go to practice." The two made their way to the gate anxiously waiting for the plane. Hopefully they could grab them and make it to practice on time. Or they would face Sanada's wrath.


"Rya-onee-chan look we're finally at the Gate." A little girl happily pointed out.

"I see Nami-chan."
"That's where Niou-onii-san is waiting for us." The little boy, next to her, continued.

"I bet he can't wait to see you both." They nodded vigorously

The plane stopped and the three of them made their way out to the terminal. The two children had a hold of Ryana's hands. She laughed at the fact that she became their big sister through an incident at the gate waiting area. Their aunt had to leave for an emergency with her own child at school; apparently he had become sick. So out of the kindness in her heart she told the overly stressed women that she would take care of them. She didn't mind watching them, she loved kids, however the jet-lagged feeling overcame her body and she was exhausted now. Not being able to sleep helped in no way either.

The nervous children clung to her and she squeezed their hands reassuring, hating the crowed as well.

"Honto Niko-nii there's Niou-onii-san." Nami exclaimed running out Ryana's grasp.

"Nami-nee say your thanks first!" The boy yelled.

"Oops," She ran back and gave me a hug, "Thank you so much Rya-onee-chan."

"You're very welcome you two were wonderful company to me." Ryana gave them both a hug.

"I'm going to miss you."

"Hey no tears, who knows we may meet in the future."

"Pinky promise!" Nami held out her pinky.

"Of course." She shook it.

"Hey! Me too." Niko held his out, she chuckled and shook it.

"Behave for your brother, good-bye for now." Looking up she noticed the two boys and nodded to them giving a little nudge to the children. They ran off and so she decided to make her way as well.


I stretched as I sat in a café, off the plane and finally in Japan. A little break and then I'll make my way home and rest. Speaking of home I should call Ojii and let him know I'm home. I reached in my bag when I felt something plushy. Pulling it out I looked at it confused… this is Name's bunny. Oh no, how am I going to find her? Wait her older brother was wearing a uniform; maybe Ojii would know the school. I dialed his number.

"Ah Ryan, it's good to hear from you." He called me by my more American name I developed from my friends.

"Yes Ojii glad I'm here. I should make it home soon, but I have a small detour to make."

"Oh and where would that be?"

"Do you know what school has black and yellow uniforms? I seem to have an errand to run there."

"Funny coincident," He chuckled. "That is Rikkaidai's tennis team uniforms and that is the school I have enrolled you in. Why don't you get a tour why you're there? Just let me know when you're coming home."
"Hai, Ojii I'll talk to you later."

"Have fun and welcome home dear." We hung up and I had a smile on my face. That's right I was home. My smile faded when I realized I had no idea where Rikkaidai was. Embarrassed I called him back

Currently I was in the main office of the school… unfortunately I was the only one there. I sighed, who leaves the school entrance open and the main office empty?

"Guess I should find a map." I said to myself, I mean I might as well help myself around. I spotted a map, however it was behind the front desk. Oh well, no one here to stop me from going over there. Hopping over the desk I landed gracefully without touching my feet to the desk. I had the map in my possession and a pamphlet for sports accompanying it.

"I am afraid this is as far as you go thief." I turned around a boy with messy black hair confronted me. "I can't believe a girl would stoop so low."


Poor forgetful Ryana already in a tight spot and it's only her first day back! Trying to do the right thing and getting punished about it. If only she didn't run into the suspicious boy maybe it would have gone more smoothly… though I guess it wouldn't have been exciting that way. Stay tuned and read the next chapter to see what other messes Ryana can get in.

Hey don't forget to review and tell me your thoughts. I know its short for the first chapter; however the chapters to come should be more.
