Chapter 1
(Knock on Ryuzaki-sensai's door)
Ryuzaki, Come in
"Ohayo Gozaimasu Ryuzaki-sensai"
"Hi, Sakura, how are you? I haven't seen you for a long time. What brings you back to Japan?"
"Well, I going to come to Seigaku, I heard it's the #1 School at tennis."
"What about your injury?"
"It fine, it healed when I was in the states."
"Where will you be staying Sakura?"
" I'm staying with my father,"
"Ok, You can come to tennis practice if you like, it starts pretty soon, you can join the starters and their training."
"Ok, Arigatoo gozaimasu"
I wonder if he'll remember me, he probably forget me, it's been 3 years since we last saw each other in the States.
She sat down on the bench with her racket, waiting for Ryoma and the others to come. It was 5:45, "Maybe they're coming later." She decided to practice by herself for a while when Arai came up to her.
" You need to leave pretty soon, the boy's tennis team will be coming soon, but you can stay and watch if you like."
"Ok, Can u play a game with me?"
"Sure" Arai was surprised when she answered "I'll go easy on you since you have never played before."
"Fine"
The game started and it soon the 2nd years soon filled to court watching the game. Ryoma and his friends/classmates got change and headed to the courts along with the other students.
Horio, "Hey look, Arai is playing some girl."
Ryoma, "uhh….."
Ryoma walked across to the other side of the court in front of Arai and Sakura.
"Hey freshman, get off the court, this girl here isn't as lucky as you are."
Ryoma just ignored Arai and did a twist serve. The girl returned it.
" Hey you returned it!"" I thought u couldn't play!"
"I never said that I couldn't play, never judge a girl before u even know her." "Ohh… and I think you should know this, you have a bad form you should start from the basics right Ryoma." She said smiling.
" Sakura-neechan….. You never change." Ryoma said
"Sakura"
"neechan?"
Ryoma, "Nice shot" he said as he returned it.
The other freshmen were confused did he just say sakura-neechan?
Ryoma walked across the court and sat down with Sakura
"What are you doing here?"
"Coming to school of course."
"Are you staying here in Japan for the rest of the year?"
"Yup"
" Why don't you join our tennis team?"
"I might, besides I still can't play very well because of the accident and because this team as no room for girls."
" They can always change that."
" Do you want to practice before the regulars arrive?"
"Sure."
Sakura and Ryoma started their game when the regulars arrived; they all bowed and decided to continue until the captain and the vice-Captain arrived. Sakura was first up to serve.
Momoshiro, "Who's that Echizen's playing"
Horio, Sakura, I think her name was.
Tezuka and Oishi came and everyone bowed of course expect two people, Sakura and
Ryoma. Then Sakura served.
Momoshiro, "Hey, look that girl can do a twist just like chibi?!"
Inui, "That wasn't a normal twist that Echizen does, watch her serve carefully"
Tezuka, "Ok practice time, Starter courts C and D.
Sakura and Ryoma were just finishing their game when Ryuzaki-sensai came in.
"So, Sakura you did come."
" Yes"
Fuji, " You know her?"
"Yes, she was taught by her father, who was one of my students. She is also known as a prodigy like Ryoma in the States."
Soon all the regulars came to listen to Ryuzaki-sensai talk about Sakura. On the other hand Sakura and Ryoma were busily chatting away on their own.
" She was born in the States like Ryoma, they became best friends and they often play tennis together, since they were taught by their own fathers, their skill already surpassed them. Ryoma and Sakura have a lot of things in common, the both want to be the best tennis player and they both love to face new challenges and they won't stop until they over come that challenge. But she had an injury during a match so it prevented her from playing tennis, but she came to me this morning and said it healed and she also decided to come to Seigaku to join the Tennis team."
Oishi, " But this is an all boy's team."
Tezuka, "We can always change the rules" looking at Sakura then to Ryuzaki-sensai.
Sakura is a really good player like Ryoma, she could even be better than me!"
Ryuzaki, " She might be able to, she won the four Championships after Ryoma came to Japan. Ryoma won them before he came Japan"
"All, Four?! "What Championship did they play?"
"Yup, they played the 16 and under."' Did I for get to mention that when Ryoma first came?"
"Sakura is a 1st year student"
Momoshiro, "What!? A first year and she's already that good, we wont lose the
Nationals if she was on our team."
The regulars all stepped out to introduce themselves.
I'm Momoshiro, you can call me momochan, I'm Eiji, and this is Fuji, Kaidoh, and Tezuka, our captain, Inui, Kawamura and this is Oishi our vice-captain.
"Nice to meet you all."
Tezuka,"Class will start soon, ok everyone dismissed."
Ryoma and Sakura had the same classes each block so they decided to go together. It was English class an easy subject for Ryoma and Sakura but hard for their fellow classmates but luckily the day was almost over.
" Lets, go get burgers, I'll walk you home after"
"Sure"
As they were walking they talked to each other about what they missed in each other's country finally they reached their house.
"Sakura, please think about joining our tennis team."
"Fine, I'll think about it." Said Sakura finally "but I'm ony doing this because you say so."
"Ok" Ryoma replied cheerfully.
They were at the burger shop and little did they know that Momoshiro and Eiji were
Following them.
Momoshiro, " What do u think they're up too."
Eiji, "I don't know but Ochibi must have something hidden from us."
"Do u think ochibi and Sakura like each other?"
"Who know maybe they do considering the knew each other since they were small."
"Hey it's getting late, I better get going, see you, Eiji-senpai.
"Ok"
"I'm home"
" Oi, You're late boy"
"Guess who's joining our tennis team?"
" Some Exchange-student?"
"Nope"
" Sakura might be joining and she even going to our school"
" What!? She is in Japan, and also going to Seigaku."
"Yup, I'm going to bed"
