FLASHBACK

"Echizen's been acting weird today." Momoshiro said wiping the sweat off his forehead. It was the end of that days after school practice and the regulars were cooling off by the fountain. Well, except for Echizen.

"Nya, Ochibi left early from practice today, and Ryuuzaki gave him permission. No fair, no fair!" Kikumaru Eiji whined.

"Maybe ha had a…..date!" Momo nudged his Senpai.

"DATE?!"

"Date?"

"…"

"Data…"

"Fssshh…"

"Saaa…."

Momo was still trying to figure out who "the lucky girl" is when his eyes hit a piece of folded paper lying on the floor. Opening it, he started reading out loud.

Dear Chibi-chan,

I want you to come over for my practice today (it starts after yours ends remember?)! The team and I were thinking of using you as a target for practice….hehe! Just kidding, chibi-chan! Actually we were think of going for some ice cream later (yay!) and were wondering if our favorite male freshman would accompany us (I heard they have new grape ponta flavored ice cream) in hopes of hearing of his journey in the tennis world and to also have him to ourselves for once away from those Seigaku regulars that are stunting poor chibi-chan's growth!

Love,

The Ever Reigning Bouchou on the Soccer Field

P.S-Yes, I know that I could've told you all this whenever, but would have been the fun in that, eh? Besides this way you can't say no!

PPS-Bring ANY of the Seigaku regulars and I'll make sure everyone in CLAMP School and Seigaku knows about your 4th grade crush on Natsuki, got it, chibi-chan?

PPPS-In addition to above I will also use you for the club's target practice and give you a lifelong ban from Ponta.

Silence…

Inui started scribbling a copy of the note into his notebook, "There is a 100 chance that we will be going to CLAMP School to investigate Echizen's behavior."

END FLASHBACK

"Woah…." Kikumaru said. The others had to agree.

And yes, if you were wondering ALL the regulars had come along. Kikumaru and Momo had come in the hopes of some great teasing material; Inui in hopes of data; Taka 'cause he was off from the sushi shop; Kaidoh came from his fear of Inui's new death juice; Fuji because he thought it was a great opportunity for a blackmail photo; and Tezuka who came along so that he would be able to make sure that that his school didn't make trouble for another school..

Inui started explaining for the others while Fuji went around asking for directions to the Soccer Field.

"CLAMP School integrates all levels of education from Kindergarten through Graduate School. It was founded by the Imonoyama Group the largest financial group in Japan. Using their private funds, to become a modest financial educational facility to the young adults who carry the world on their shoulders. Dormitories, banks, hospitals and facilities of every kind are available in this large city-school which students, staff and their relatives a total of over 10,000 live, work and study. The school opens its doors for all persons with some talent regardless of class or wealth. CLAMP School is known for it plethora of exceptionally bright individuals. How-"

"However, it is also know for its love of festivities." A voice interrupted Inui. The regulars looked around to see who was talking. "That's such a textbook entry you know." The girl had long curly black hair with blue highlights. Her eyes were cat-like and were a deep aqua blue and her lips were smirking at them. She was wearing a black, gold and white soccer uniform. Fuji turned from the two girls that he had just been asking direction from ("Oh my god, isn't he just the coolest!") to the new girl. "Would you please-" The girl cut in again. "Seigaku Tennis Club?" They nodded. "Follow me."

"OI! CHIBI-CHAN! YOU'VE GOT SOME SUITORS!!" the girl yelled out. She had brought the regulars to the soccer field after having them walk across some of the campus (Inui estimated it to be 10x bigger than Seigaku) where (presumably) members of the soccer club were practicing.

"Suitors?"

"What the hell?"

"…"

"Do we look gay?"

"S-s-suitors?"

"Fssh…"

Ryoma Echizen was by the fence talking to 2 brown-haired green eyed identical looking boys. Ryoma looked around. "Troublesome." He muttered. "Eh? What's that Ochibi?" Kikumaru-who obviously had the best ears in all of Seigaku-glomped him and started pinching his cheeks. "You leave practice early and you don't want us to worry about you? You're mean Ochibi! Mean!"

Ryoma shoved Kikumaru off and looked at the girl.

"Nee-chan I-"

"NEE-CHAN?!?!"

It was another joyous day in the life of Imonoyama Sakura. The birds were chirping, the sun was out, the grass was green and what's more there was not a Seigaku Tennis Regular in sight.

Please note the intense sarcasm.

In reality, the birds were not chirping, clouds were dark indicating that there would be rain later on, the grass was a deep green, but the fact that there were 6 Seigaku Regulars (other than Chibi-chan) standing on it ruined the fact.

I glared at Ryoma. I had told him that under no circumstances was he to bring ANY of his teammates with him. I had even threatened him with a lifelong ban of Ponta. How much more mean and evil can you get? But I could tell, he didn't know. Heck, I don't even know how they got through the gate.

"I hope you don't mind me asking. But who are you?" One of the Seigaku Regulars asked me. The one with the scary white glasses and notebook,

I glared, crossing my arms. "No one of importance." Hadn't anyone taught him that it's rude to ask blunt questions to someone who you don't even know. Especially if you were on their turf?

"She's lying! She's lying!" I felt a hand on either of my shoulder, and turned my head around to see. Hikaru and Hayate. "In fact, among all the soccer players in CLAMP, she's probably the most important." Hikaru said the tone in his voice suggested that it was all because of him.

I frowned. "Don't say that, Hikaru."

"We're your best friends. We're allowed to say that. And besides, you should be flattered. After all, we are popular with the ladies and any one of them would kill to have us say anything remotely like that to them." Hayate said. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. That made no sense. Nakaaru Hikaru & Hayate was two of my guy friends and were also on the soccer team, but popular with the ladies….that's completely stretching the truth.

"You mean only two of Sakura's best friends. And also, don't lie about being popular with the opposite gender. You guys aren't even popular with the same gender." A voice piped up voicing my exact thoughts.

Fujishiro Natsuki walked onto the field followed by the other Regulars on my team.

"Ready for practice, Almighty Bouchou-sama!" she saluted.

I rolled my eyes at her. "Don't call me that. Plain old Bouchou is fine, Suki-chan."

"But I'm fine with you calling me Fuku-Bouchou-sama whom I love."Hikaru said cheekily.

"That isn't even a title, you baka." I told him while Natsuki glared at him. Then to the Seigaku Regulars, I said, "Could you please refrain from this argument until after my club's practice is over?"

Their bouchou, the one that had honey brown hair and glasses bowed indicating to his team to follow him.

As Hikaru & Hayate dragged me toward the center of the field a thought flashed through my mind.

Why was the close eyed guy staring at me?

"Ah…that was so mean, bouchou! Making us do 60 laps! So mean, so mean." Hikaru said whining.

"Well, what do you expect when you spike everyone's drinks with pomegranate juice?? And how will you get better?" a black haired brown eyed girl asked him chugging down some water as the regulars and I walked off the field.

"Maybe I can wish upon a star? Or maybe get a fairy godmother like Cinderella."

I was about to reply when I caught sight of the Seigaku Regulars.

I had forgotten about them….

I decided that I should at least be polite and introduce myself and the team in hopes that there was a god that would ban them from entering my life ever again. I walked over to them motioning for the rest of my friends to do so also.

But the tall one decided it would be better to say the words first.

"Please allow us to introduce ourselves. I am Tezuka Kunimitsu. Captain of the Seigaku Tennis Club. Dozo Yorushdiku."

Helmet head beside him."Oishi Schuichiro. Fuku-Bouchou."

The Sadist. "Fuji Syuusuke."

Mr. I'm High On Sugar and I Enjoy Glomping People as I had dubbed him jumped up and down a few times. "Kikumaru Eiji, nya!!"

The Creepy Looking Guy. "Inui Sadaharu."

Spiky Hair. "Momoshiro, but you can just call me Momo-chan!" he gave us the thumbs up. The girl who had replied to Hikaru returned the signal.

Viper Looking Guy. "Kaidoh Kaoru"

"And this" Momo-chan said pointing towards Ryoma "is my wonderful freshman-"

I nodded. "Echizen Ryoma. Yeah, we've…met." Ryoma smirked at my choice of words.

I bowed. "My name is Imonoyama Sakura. Captain of the CLAMP Soccer Club. Position of GK and sometimes Forward. President of the Junior High School Section of CLAMP. Dozo Yorodshiku." Then I went on to introduce the others.

"Nakaaru Hikaru. Fuku-Bouchou. And his twin Hayate. Mid-fielders. They are treasurers for the Junior High Student Council and Hikaru is fuku-bouchou." They both gave a grin and said "Yo!" in unison. They are your basic pranksters. You know how in most stories you read there are always those red-haired prankster twins (1)? Well, our team has a pair in real life. Nakaruu Hikaru and Hayate. The sons of the soccer gear company Nakaruu Gear Inc. But they didn't have that ridiculous red hair. No, they had ridiculous dark brown hair and green eyes. The one sure fire way to tell them apart was by their preferences. They did like the same things, but when it came to girls Hikaru had a crush on Sayuri and as far as we knew…Hayate wasn't interested in anyone. Crud.

"Takamura Sayuri. Defender. Secretary for the Junior high School Council." Sayuri also gave a grin but hers was more elegant. Her blue hair was done up in a ponytail and her hazel eyes were alert. Sayuri is also on the Student Council filling the position of Secretary just like her little brother Suoh. And also like him, she's a master at any type of martial arts, but she joined the soccer team. She's also decided that she will always protect me no matter what. A usual Takamura-Imonoyama relationship. I'm glad that she's one of my best friend's. But the one thing that differed the siblings from one another was the fact that she was a somewhat but more outgoing than him.

"Fujishiro Natsuki. Forward" Natsuki smirked and tucked a strand of purple hair behind her hair. Her lavender eyes were twinkling. She was probably-no she is the shortest among the team. But she's braver than all of us put together. She's also spunky and has a quick tongue, but we love her none the less.

"Higumi Ryouchi. Defender." Ryouchi was probably the quietest boy you would ever find. But when he's on the soccer field, I swear you wouldn't be able to recognize him. He has these silver eyes that are usually glued to some book and wavy black hair. Like I said, he's usually glued to a book whether he's eating or walking to class with us, he always has a book in one hand. He probably has a library in his home taking up 10 rooms.

"Kinata Kagura. Midfielder." Kagura smiled. She had orange hair and light orange eyes making her look somewhat like a cat, hence the nickname Neko.

"Hagura Naoka. Defender and the best manager you'll ever find. You'd do better to call O Mighty Manager." Naoka smirked glancing at the Regulars. "Data…."

"Eh?" Kikumaru said.

Inui stared at the Naoka, but then again I really couldn't tell with those white glasses. I started comparing the two of them.

They both had notebooks. Inui's was green and Naoka's was purple.

They both had glasses. Though, while you couldn't see Inui's eyes behind his shiny white glasses, you could see her brown eyes behind rectangular clear ones.

They both had a love for data. Or so I was informed about Inui by Ryoma. I was sure about Naoka though.

They both were…in a way….creepy….

I glanced at Sayuri and Natsuki and saw that they were thinking the same thing.

The two were meant for each other. I mean, really. When you are ever so obsessed with collecting data there is a 100:1 chance that there is someone else. This was a blessed moment for Naoka. And judging by the looks on Sayuri's and Natsuki's faces the plan for it to stay that way.

I cleared my throat and went on. "Atobe Kira. Defender." Kira smiled. I scanned the faces of the Seigaku Regulars. None of them looked if anything shocked (the human ice wall probably didn't know how to actually even have emotions). Ryoma had said that Kira's brother Keigo was a tennis player and that they had played against him. Though when Ryoma had told me this, Keigo was referred to as Monkey King and Kira also called him that.

Kikumaru brought me out of my thoughts. "Why does Ochibi call you nee-chan, nya?"

I blinked. Ryoma winced and almost threw Kikumaru a glare before I threw one at him. "Our families know each other well. I'm somewhat of a sister figure to chibi-chan here." I grinned, the words coming out of my mouth like a pre-planned statement. And they were. These were the words of which I answered with whenever someone asked me if I was related to Ryoma or said that I had the same eyes as him. I scanned their faces again and felt satisfied with the looks on their faces. They completely believed. Except for maybe the sadistic one, Fuji. His eyes were open now and I was staring into eyes that were almost the same colors as mine but so much more deep. This time I winced before looking away.

"Well…it was uh….nice meeting you people after hearing so much about you….but we have to get going back to our dorms. Please visit us again however." I put on a small fake grin not meaning a word I said.

Rain poured down as we watched them leave. Sayuri turned to me. "You didn't have to be so rude Sakura-chan."

"There is a 76.4 chance that Sakura does not like or trust Seigaku for the reasons that she is insecure and because she knew that they would ask about her family and they did. And also because she thinks they are all bishinoun who enjoy having their own fan clubs." Naoka informed everyone.

I grimaced. "You don't have to say it so bluntly Naoka."

Hikaru seemed to agree with the others. "Don't be so sensitive. Just because some bakas in the past have stared and treated you differently for being part of two families, doesn't mean everyone thinks that."

Sayuri put an arm around me. "And even if they do, you'll always have us to-"

"Beat 'em up and land them in the hospital." Natsuki finished.

I let out a small laugh. "Thanks you guys. Come on Chibi-chan. I let the Dorm Dean know that you're staying over the weekend this morning so you're in Hikaru and Hayate's room. Oh, and don't forget about that life-long ban from Ponta" I winked at him because I knew that he was fully aware that I would never do such a thing. Ryoma (who hadn't left with the Regulars), nodded and said "I still love nee-chan even if she's only half an Echizen and took on the Imonoyama name." Ryoma muttered the last bit and I whacked him on the head. "Did you say something Chibi-chan?" Then I punched my fists into the air and called to the others. "TO THE DORMS!"

Hayate and Hikaru joined in. "PARTY!!!!"

Ryouchi, Natsuki, Sayuri, Kagura and Naoka looked at each other.

It was going to be another long weekend.

But even if you were facing the possibility of a weekend full of Hikaru and Hayate's pranks, Ryouchi describing another book he had read while boring us out of our minds, Kagura wanting to play a new game that she had discovered, Sayuri either ignoring everyone or laughing uproariously, Natsuki adding to the fun, and Naoka forcing us to taste her horrid juices after we lost a bet, it would be worth it to be dead tired the next morning.

I smiled as I ran with them toward the other side of campus where our dorms where located. We were all soaking wet but were laughing our heads off. As long as you had loving friends around you. Anything is worth it.

Ariana: Yay! So Sakura's sensitive about the subject of her family and the only clue I gave away was that she has two! Anyway, some of you must be shocked that I made the CLAMP Soccer team bisexual instead of making it an all girls team and having each of them fall in love with a tennis regular. But I've seen so many of those stories, and I enjoy reading them more….so cheer me on as I write the next chapter (even though school starts on Tuesday! Crud!)!
