Tezuka no hibi
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own the anime/ manga Tennis no Ohjisama or any of its characters.
A/N: I suddenly had this sudden urge to write this story. I don't know why. But anyway… read on!
------------------------------------------
Day 1
He never really thought that one day he would find understanding really hard, not that he was bragging about his intelligence or anything. Normally, he would easily understand all the things that would happen in his everyday life. But now there he stood in front of a girl with a problem he can't comprehend. He can't even do anything to help the girl. Nor can he force her to work with him in a project that will be submitted the next day.
Ah, yes. The girl is his activity partner. And the longer they stay like this, the bigger the chance for them not to submit their project on time.
"Chishio-san-" Tezuka was about to break the silence but apparently he was cut off.
"You wouldn't understand Tezuka-kun," after hours of being sentimental, the girl finally spoke. "It's because… you've never been a girl before."
It may sound ridiculous, and funny, but the last phrase had left a mark on Tezuka.
Forever.
------------------------------------------
Today we have a transfer student from Okinawa…
He remembered the day when he first met Chishio Akai- Chishio Akai, preferably called Akai, happened to be a transfer student from Okinawa. Akai was sociable, and more importantly, talkative. She would talk to anyone, at anyplace and anytime. And ever since she transferred to Seigaku, Tezuka's hearing on his right ear hasn't been the same as his left.
Akai was exactly the opposite of him. And maybe that's the reason why she was told to sit beside him. So that Akai could influence him with her socializing attitude. But that will not happen. Not now. Not in a million years. Never.
And how the hand of fate tries to bring them together. Now they ended up being activity partners in a project they can't finish. Thanks to the problem Akai is having now. Sometimes even Tezuka wishes he would have a different partner.
------------------------------------------
They managed to finish the project on time. But the mere fact of sleeping late had given him headaches. Tezuka woke up an hour earlier than an average student of Seishun Gakuen would. He doesn't know why, but even if he tries to sleep again, he couldn't. Something made him feel… different.
He sat up, reached for his eyeglasses placed in his bedside table and wore them. Much to his surprise, his eyesight became worse when he placed his glasses on. Maybe his vision got better.
He removed his glasses and got out of bed. He was about to proceed to the bathroom when, unfortunately, he tripped over his loose pants causing him to fall flat on the ground.
Ouch.
Tezuka immediately stood up and noticed that his pants had gone longer. Or maybe, he had gone shorter. But that's just ridiculous. He simply set aside all the thoughts that came rushing down his head.
He went inside the bathroom and proceeded on washing his face. But something made him stop. Tezuka repeatedly blinked and rubbed his eyes, still not believing at what the mirror is telling him. He resisted the urge to scream. Now all the thoughts he had set aside a while ago came rushing down his head again.
"It's because you've never been a girl before."
The sentence Akai had told him yesterday reverberated on Tezuka's mind.
You've never been a girl before…
A girl before…
A girl…
A GIRL…
And the thought hit him like a brick. Now he knew why. Everything became clear to him now. At least, that's what he thinks.
He may still be the same Tezuka Kunimitsu, but he was in a body of a girl. Specifically, he is in the body of Chishio Akai.

A/N: How was it? I apologize if the grammar and the introduction were crappy since I don't have a beta for this story yet. Please give any recommendations for this fic and I'll gladly accept it. By the way, Tezuka no hibi literally means Tezuka days in English.
