Summary: Megumi Kanata is the cousin of the rich, arrogant Ice Emperor, Atobe Keigo. She just returned from her debut in the professional circuit and is now a transferee student in Rikkaidai. Thing is, she took the world by storm as a 'he' not she, and she plans on join the men's tennis club as a 'he' as well. Or so she thinks.
A/N: I own the OCs and the plot. I apologize for any OOC-ness from the characters.
Chapter 1
KANATA'S POV
"Thanks for picking me up at the airport Kei-nii, Yuushi." I said as I got in the black limo and sat comfortably between the two people I've known since forever.
My name is Megumi Kanata, but everyone knows me as Nura Kanata, the 14 year-old tennis prodigy who managed to take the world by storm by taking on the professional circuit. Due to me cross-dressing, I entered the tournament as a male. Only a few people that know me know about my secret.
"Anything for my best friend." Yuushi purred.
"Ore-sama will do anything for my darling cousin. Congrats on winning the US Open, Nura Kanata." He said.
I smirked "Thanks. But it was SO boring! Even the likes of a first-year can handle those so-called pros." I said and tied my hair to a high-pony tail, leaving my side-bangs alone.
"Hmph, ore-sama knows that, ore-sama has watched your matches." He said.
My eyebrow twitched and Yuushi sighed. "Kei-nii, stop saying ore-sama." I said.
"Why would ore-sama stop? Ahn?"
I smirked "I will tell everyone how you were when we lived in England." I said and I watched as his eyes widened in horror.
"Ok, ok, you win, I'll stop." He said.
Yuushi raised an eyebrow and got out his phone.
My phone vibrated and the sender was Yuushi. I gave him a puzzled look, but I got my phone and read the message anyways.
"What happened in England that made him shut up like that?"
I smirked, and began typing my reply.
"Before we moved here, we lived in England, and he used to lose EVERY time in a tennis match when we were kids. He even lost to me LOTS of times. That was, until he came up with his Insight."
Yuushi apparently received my text because he was chuckling and he faced me "Seriously?" he asked, still trying to contain his laughter.
I nodded and we started laughing.
"Oi! What's so funny?"Kei-nii asked.
"N-nothing Kei-nii, we just…shared a joke." I said and he hmm-ed in response.
"Kei-nii, can you drop me off at Rikkaidai? I'm going to try-out. Wanna watch?" I smirked.
"Let me guess, you're trying out as Nura, aren't you?" Yuushi said.
I shrugged "As long as Sei-chan doesn't ruin the plan, then yes." I said.
"Fine." Kei-nii said and told the chauffer to go to Rikkaidai Fuzoku.
I smirked and put on the black cap, as a symbol of me being Nura Kanata, the tennis prodigy.
~~~At Rikkaidai~~~
"This place isn't that bad." I said and faced Yuushi and Kei-nii you guys stay out of sight while I be awesome." I smirked and walked away to the tennis courts.
"Hmm…they still have practice until now, when school starts tomorrow, well, at least it looks like it's only the regulars practicing." I muttered as I walked in the courts smirking.
It looks like I caught their attention seeing as they all walked over to me.
"Can we help you?" some dude with glasses asked me.
"Do you guys hold try-outs today?" I asked.
"No, they start tomorrow, but if you want we could let you try-out today." The same guy said.
"That's great, thanks. May I ask who you all are?" I said.
"Yagyuu Hiroshi, The Gentleman, yoroshiku." The glasses guy said.
"Yanagi Renji, the Data Specialist." Some guy with closed eyes said, not looking up from the notebook he was scribbling who-knows what in it.
"Marui Bunta daroi~, the Tensai. Yoroshiku." The red-head said, chewing gum.
"Jackal Kawahira." The baldy said.
"Kirihara Akaya, the Ace. Chisu~." The kid with seaweed-like hair said. Hmm…Seaweed Head, I like it.
"Sanada Genichirou, the vice-captain." The guy who looks 25 years-old, nodded curtly as he greeted.
"It's nice to meet you all." I said.
"We introduced ourselves, but we have yet to know who you are." Sanada said, eying me from head-to-toe.
"Oh right, I'm Nura Kanata, yoroshiku." I smirked.
"Nura?"
"Kanata?"
"Y-you mean to tell us that YOU'RE THE Nura Kanata? Woah SUGEE!" the seaweed head exclaimed, catching everyone's attention, if my memory serves right, his name is Akaya.
"Yanagi, explain please." Sanada said.
Yanagi nodded. "Gladly." He flipped through pages in his notebook. "Here it is, let's see, you are, Ah! Nura Kanata, Age: 14, Hair color: Black, Eye color: dark bluish-gray. His personality is unknown. He is fluent in my languages such as English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and of course Japanese. He is known as the 'Black Rose' due to the fact that he dresses in black and gives a rose to his opponent after a match as a token of thanks for the match. He is also known for defeating top-pros in the professional tennis circuit during his debut in the US Open which took place a few days ago. In other words, he's a tennis prodigy" He said and closed his notebook.
"That's all the data I have on him Genichirou." Yanagi said.
"Well, that was quite the introduction for me Yanagi-san." I said.
All heads turned to me in shock and they all stared at me.
"So, who can I play against for the try-out?" I asked.
"You're playing against me Kanata-san!" I turned to the voice and it was the Seaweed Head, Akaya, smirking.
I smirked "Ok then." I grabbed my red racket form my tennis bag.
"Akaya! That's no fair! I wanted to play against him!" the red-head known as Marui Bunta said, and bonked Akaya behind the head.
"It's not my fault! First come first serve Marui-sempai!" Akaya explained and he rubbed his aching head.
A chuckle came from behind me and I turned to see who it was and my eyes widened.
"Sei-chan!" I said and walked over to him.
"Sei-chan?"
Yukimura chuckled again "Hisashiburi, Kanata-chan." He said.
"Yukimura-buchou, you know him?" Akaya asked curiously.
"Him?" Yukimura asked and looked at me with a raised brow. "You didn't tell them the truth did you?" he said accusingly.
I pouted. "Sei-chan~ where's the fun in that huh? Come on, I know the sadist within you wants to watch!" I said.
"Tell us what exactly?" Yagyuu asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Will you tell them?" Yukimura asked.
"You want to see their reactions THAT badly huh?" I smirked.
Yukimura smiled sadistically "Maybe." He said.
I faced the rest of the Rikkai regulars and removed my cap and undid my ponytail, making my hair go past my shoulders.
"I'm a girl." I said.
Silence.
"WHAAATTTT!" they all exclaimed, making Yanagi drop in notebook, and making Marui drop his gum.
"So…you're an impostor?" Akaya asked.
"No. I'm known in the professional circuit as a male when I'm really a girl." I said.
"Because of your hobby of cross-dressing." Yukimura mused.
"Che…" I muttered.
The other regulars stared dumbfounded.
"Yukimura-buchou, you KNEW about this?" Akaya asked in disbelief and his captain nodded.
"Where's Niou?" Yukimura asked and I raised an eyebrow.
"Niou?" I asked.
"Another regular…but it appears he's not here." Yukimura said.
"I miscalculated. Does this mean all the data I gathered on her is wrong?" he muttered to himself but I heard him.
"No it's not wrong, the only thing you got wrong was my gender." I said.
"But, she's a girl; doesn't that mean she can't try out?" Akaya asked.
I narrowed my eyes at the Seaweed Head ok that sounded SO sexist right about now.
"But that's for buchou to decide." A silverette said and walked over to me.
"Niou Masaharu, con artist of the court and resident trickster at your service." The silverette winked and gave me a mock bow.
I smirked. "I guess I have to re-introduce myself." I said.
"Megumi Kanata, resident sadist and blackmailer, and the only person alive to make my cousin, Atobe Keigo do my bidding." I said.
"COUSIN?"
"OI! You didn't have to mention that part! Or have you forgotten that we're waiting for you? Ahn~?" A familiar voice said, and everyone turned to see Kei-nii and Yuushi walking over.
"Good job Kanata." Yuushi said and we high-fived each other.
I only smirked in response.
"So, will I try-out or not? 'Cuz Kei-nii is getting impatient since he walked over here." I said.
All heads turned to Yukimura, since it was his decision.
"I don't see why not." He said.
"Sa, who is worthy enough to face ore-sama's cousin, ahn~?" Kei-nii said arrogantly.
"Kei-nii, shut up or else." I smirked darkly as I held up a few pictures filled with blackmail material.
"tch." He said and looked away, and everyone looked at me like I was growing two heads.
"Puri~ not bad." Niou smirked and I smirked back.
"I'm playing against seaweed head." I said.
"Seaweed Head?"
"Bakaya? Heh~ I now have a new nickname for the brat." Niou said.
"Yeah, him, so let's go?" I asked/
"Ok, and DON'T call me seaweed head!" Akaya exclaimed.
"This will be interesting to watch." Yuushi said as I got out my black racket from my tennis bag.
The both of us walked to one of the courts and walked to the center.
"Which?"
"Smooth." I said, and he spun his racket.
"It's rough, service?"
"End." I put on my cap and walked to my position at the end of the court.
NORMAL POV
Everyone watched as Akaya was preparing to serve. "Minna, who do you think will win/" Yukimura asked.
"Akaya." Sanada said.
"Akaya." Jackal said.
"Kanata, puri~" Niou said.
"Kanata daroi~." Marui said, chewing a new stick of gum.
"Ore-sama's cousin will win." Atobe said.
"Kanata." Yuushi said.
Yukimura smiled.
"Who do you think will win Yukimura?" Sanada said, not taking his eyes off the match, that hasn't even started.
"Kanata." He said.
Everyone stayed silent at this point because the match has started.
The Rikkaidai players recognized the form Akaya was in, and froze.
"Akaya! Don't! That serve is-!" Jackal started but he knew he was ignored.
"Knuckle Serve!" Akaya exclaimed and when he hit the ball, it spun uncontrollably to Kanata's side of the court. "I'll dye you red too!" he exclaimed and laughed manically.
They had no time to register what happened next because the ball zoomed past Akaya and the ball got stuck on one of the holes in the fence, and it still kept on spinning.
"0-15." They heard Kanata say.
"Hey." She started. "Keep this up and you'll lose your sanity." She said.
The Rikkai players stared dumbstruck at the girl in black.
"I miscalculated." Yanagi said.
"How could she return that serve so…easily!" Jackal asked, dumbfounded/
"She's not trying." Yuushi said, adjusting his glasses.
"What?" some of the Rikkai players asked.
"She's a lefty, isn't she?" Niou guessed and Hyoutei's tensai nodded.
"Major miscalculation." Yanagi muttered and got out a new notebook and starting scribbling in it.
"Akaya TARUNDORU!" Sanada exclaimed.
Yagyuu adjusted his glasses and continued to watch the match.
Their match went by through service aces and return aces, though Akaya managed to get one game when he went to Devil Mode, and minutes later, the match ended and Akaya was on the ground, sweaty and exhausted.
KANATA'S POV
"Game and Match 6-1." I said and threw a rose and it landed beside Akaya and walked to the bench.
"She didn't even break a sweat." Jackal said.
"Flashy as always." Kei-nii said as he entered the courts and walked over to me and handed me a can of orange-flavored ponta.
"Who do you think I got that from?" I said, taking the can and began to drink.
"No doubt from ore-sama." He said and did one of his famous hair-flips.
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever." I said.
"Kanata." Yukimura said.
"Ah, Sei-chan." I said.
"Welcome to Rikkai's male tennis team." He said and gave me a plastic with the yellow jersey and shirt.
"Domo su."I said and got the plastic and put it in my tennis bag.
Niou walked over to me "Here's my number if you need anything puri~." He said and winked.
"I'll keep that in mind. Pyo~." I said and smirked. Everyone else walked up to me and gave me their numbers, so I had to give them all my number. What a pain in the ass.
"Ja, I'll see you guys tomorrow." I said and slung my tennis bag over my shoulder and walked out of the courts with Kei-nii and Yuushi following not long after.
NORMAL POV
Yukimura smiled. "Tomorrow will be interesting, I can't wait." He said and turned to his team.
"That's enough for today, let's go home. Don't be late for morning practice tomorrow." He said and the regulars went to the clubroom to change.
AT HOME
Kei-nii and Yuushi dropped me off at my place so I'm left alone with my servants. I went to my room and plopped myself on the bed. I was about to go to sleep when something fuzzy curled on top of my stomach and it mewled.
"Hi Rihan, did you miss me?" I asked him and he purred when I stroked him behind the ear.
Rihan my pet cat and he's a black-coated Siamese cat. He was a stray until he appeared near my window 2 years ago, and it was raining. I took care of him ever since. Well, when he appeared near my window, I was watching an anime, 'Nurarihyon no Mago: Sennen Makyo' which is why I named him Rihan. I named him after an anime character, typical.
I picked him up and put him down on my nearby chair and he meowed in protest.
"Sorry Rihan, but I'm sleepy, and the jet-lag is kicking in, not to mention I have school tomorrow."I said and yawned.
"Oyasumi." I said and walked over to my king-sized bed and went to sleep.
