Hey, this is my very first Prince of Tennis fic and I hope you guys like it.
I DO NOT OWN PRINCE OF TENNIS. I ONLY ON MY OC!
-On with the story-
A short introduction
Rie was someone who only a few could ever understand. She never really fitted in with all of the other kids in her old school and would rather be found by the school garden petting the animals or looking at the flowers and because of this difference with the other students, she was seen as a 'social outcast' by them.
They couldn't understand her and so did Rie…at least they thought so. They never noticed how she observed every single movement they made, how they played with each other by the court, how they complained how school was so boring and how the girls talked about who were their crushes which really confused her since the boys in her school were just a bunch of goofballs who are trying to find ways to get in trouble or get noticed.
Every single motion they make, she observes just to understand them, so she could finally talk to them and form a sort of bond with them. Though, others would just see her as a stalker if they ever found out about her 'hobby'. So she shall always remain hidden but they'll just never understand how hard she tries to be with them and make precious moments with them even if they push her away… Rie will always stand up and try her best that is until… it happened.
"LOOK OUT!"
-With the Rikkadai tennis team-
"Oy, have you heard of the new student coming here to Rikkai Dai?" The net specialist, Marui Bunta asked popping another gum into his mouth.
"Yeah, I've heard of him." Kirihara Akaya, the second year ace replied. "What's the big deal about him anyway?"
"I'm not so sure," Marui scratched the back of his head. "but I hear that he looks weird and is a bit different."
"Sounds like the type of guy which will attract the unwanted attention of the trickster." Kirihara said and then after some thinking he let a smirk creep to his face. "I wonder what kind of tricks he'll play on the poor guy."
Marui looked at his junior for a brief second then started to back away from him in a fast manner.
'Getting closer to him might get a bit dangerous.' Marui thought sheepishly.
"Ne Jackal, what do you think?" The red head asked.
The dark skin toned tennis player looked at him and answered, "Let's just see what will happen."
"BOOM!"
"Oy, what was that?" Marui shouted taken aback by the sudden noise.
There seemed to be an explosion in the science lab since all of the students from that room were running out of the room as if their lives depended on it.
Some were even yelling.
"HELP! I CAN'T BREATHE!"
"IT'S TOO MUCH!"
"THE HORROR!"
As much as it sounds so pitiful the people yelling it had one similar thing with them, they were the boys while the girls were…
"OH NO! MY HAIR IS RUINED!"
"I NEED TO GO TO THE RESTROOM ASAP!"
"I THINK I'M GOING TO DIE!"
The three tennis players couldn't believe what they were seeing and were like WTF… (F is for Fudge, k?)
"Oy Bunta," Kirihara called to his sempai.
"Yes, Kirihara?"
"Is it me or am I just seeing a group of Rikkadai students running around like it's the end of the world covered in the color pink?"
"No, you don't have to worry because I'm seeing this too." Marui said dumbly. "How about you, Jackal, you see them too?"
Jackal nodded dumbly with his mouth left open.
What Kirihara said was true, Rikkaidai students in all of their glory were running around like idiots covered in the color pink from a class experiment gone wrong.
Just as the three were about to leave, they heard the door of the science lab open... with a large THUD and out came the science teacher also covered in the pink menace but his face had a different color on it. It was red, as in the color of a tomato.
"NIOU MASAHARU!" He yelled loud enough for the entire campus to hear.
"I was expecting this kind of thing…sort of" Marui muttered popping another bubble gum to his mouth.
"YOU THREE, GO TO YOUR CLASSES NOW!" The teacher yelled.
"HAI SENSEI!" They yelled in unison and then saluted to the covered-in-pink teacher.
The salute was not needed. They just did it for effect.
The three boys immediately started jogging in their places and began running to their respected classes.
'Thanks a lot Niou! Because of you the teacher yelled at us!' Kirihara thought running to his classroom. 'And my next subject is English! I hate it!'
-Meanwhile with a certain student-
"So this is Rikkaidai." A voice said at the third floor of the school.
The stranger wore a jacket bigger than his body so his figure was hidden by it.
"Interesting…" 'He' said to the event that happened a while ago. 'His' right eye which was visible showed a glint of interest of the event. Those poor suckers didn't know what hit them or exploded at them. "I'd love to stay and watch but-"
"I better get my schedule or else I'll be late." 'He' said in a bored tone and walked to the right but immediately stopped and looked around. "Where was the office again?"
'He' started walking around and paused when he thought of the reason why he was having troubles with finding the office. "Looks like I'm lost…again."
'He' sighed and dropped his bag down and rubbed his forehead. He remembered what his so-called guardian said about getting side-tracked and getting lost especially in a big school like this. 'This is getting troublesome.'
'He' temporarily stopped what he was doing and blushed a cute shade of pink. 'This is getting really troublesome.'
-With the four tennis regulars-
"Oy Niou, are you even listening to me?" Kirihara yelled to the trickster of Rikkaidai although the trickster practically ignored his question.
"What made you get the idea of having made a bomb that will explode pink dust to the science lab?" Jackal asked with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Yeah, because of you I had to spend another boring English class." Kirihara pouted completely forgetting the fact that Niou ignored his question.
Jackal whacked the second year by the head softly. "And you're not supposed to cut classes, Kirihara."
Kirihara smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his neck. "He he he, I've been caught."
Marui sighed and looked to the direction of Niou and noticed that he was planning something
He looked to where he was looking at and temporarily stoped.
"Huh?"
Somebody was sleeping by the window sill. That's weird, of all the places he could've picked, he just had to pick the window sill. Was he alright?
Marui's eyes widened and he turned his head towards the scheming silver haired boy and ran after him. 'Don't tell me.'
"Isn't the explosion enough already?" He asked pulling the uniform of the walking tennis regular.
"Oh come on now, Bunta. A little wake-up call wouldn't hurt him, wouldn't it? Niou said.
"No, it WILL hurt him! Besides the guy's sleeping!"
"Then I'm helping the guy myself by waking him up instead of the teacher catching him."
"A no is a no!"
Niou still walked towards the sleeping guy with Marui trying to pull him the other way.
Marui noticed Niou was already going to scare the shit out of the poor guy so he tried to also pull his hands.
"Oy, Let go of me Marui!" Niou yelled irritated by what the net specialist was doing.
He was spoiling his fun. Just wait and see until his done with this, Marui will be going home with candy wrappers on his hair glued by bubble gum.
He won't be eating a lot of gum after that.
"NO! Stop it, this is no time to be-eh?" Marui blinked.
What the hell happened?
Just a while ago he was stopping Niou from doing something really idiotic and now he thinks he might have helped him in doing his prank. "Eh?"
Niou's eye twitched. His plan might have gone overboard…really overboard as he stared at where his prey used to be at. 'What the hell?'
Imaginary broken lines started appearing and disappearing in the shape of the guy whom Niou was about to prank and that could only mean one thing.
Marui and Niou looked at each other in bewilderment. "EH!"
They quickly looked outside the window and looked down to see…the…guy…falling down…from the….SIXTH FLOOR!
How come the maintenance didn't even bother to close to the window!
This was totally not normal.
"AARGH!" Niou slapped his forehead and then started to strangle Marui. "This is your fault! You shouldn't have pulled my hands or else we could've avoided this from happening!"
"My fault? You started this! You just had to be a trickster, don't you?" Marui yelled back.
"It's in my NATURE!"
"In my nature my butt!"
Um…guys, there's a guy falling down from the sixth floor and you guys just argue on whose fault it is when you could have already thought of some semi-brilliant ways to at least save the poor falling guy from his ultimate death when it is clearly your fault. Nice…very nice...
"WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?" Kirihara and Jackal yelled gaining the two tennis regulars who were too engrossed on suffocating each other.
When they got there? Who knows? All they know was that they stared at the falling student with wide eyes.
"BUCHOU, NIOU KILLED SOMEBODY!" Kirihara yelled running down the hallways in a very not cool-like manner.
Niou immediately ran after the second year in the same not cool manner. "Oy Akaya, wait! He's not dead…He still may be on the verge of dying…" That's still the same….
"BUCHOU!"
"OY!"
"BUCHOU!"
"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?"
"BUCHOU!"
"…"
Marui was left behind with Jackal with their mouth left hanging open so much that Marui's gum would have fell down and that was saying something.
Jackal noticed that Marui was frozen in place. He snapped his fingers in front of his face several times but to no avail Marui didn't bulge.
'There's only one way to snap him out of these kinds of things.'
"Oy Marui, the cafeteria had already sold out their last strawberry shortcake."
"What the- HOW DARE THEY SELL THE LAST SHORTCAKE TO SOMEBODY ELSE and…not…me- wait. What?" Marui shouted. "Oh yeah that's right." He said slamming his fist to his open right hand.
"WAIT FOR ME!" Marui shouted running after the two.
"…"
"…"
"…"
Just then Jackal realized something. "Don't leave me here all alone!"
-With somebody else-
Yukimura Seiichi, the captain of the Rikkaidai tennis team together with the other tennis regulars were just by the school yard near the school garden when they heard shouts from none other than their second year ace.
"BUCHOU!"
Yukimura smiled. "Akaya, what brings you here?"
"BUCHOU!"
"Something is odd here." Yagyuu said.
Yanagi nodded. "There's 97% chance that there is something really important Akaya has to say."
"BUCHOU!" Kirihara yelled for the twelfth time today and was only a few feet away from them when Niou suddenly jumped over him and pounced on him making him fall down and then started a wrestling match of their own with each other.
"Why you-" Kirihara said as he pulled Niou's hair only to get kicked by him.
"Aargh!"
"Take that!"
"…"
"BUCHOU!"
Sanada mentally groaned. 'I swear if I hear one of them shout another "Buchou", they're going to run one hundred laps around campus. What has gotten into these guys?'
Marui was running towards them with a bewildered expression and that made them curious on what was getting him like that.
When Marui was already in front Yukimura he fell down looking dead tired, understandable since he was running like hell from the sixth floor and even around the whole campus just to look for him with lightning speed.
"Buchou*pants*Niou*pants*pink*pants*trick*pants*guy*pants*fell from*pants*from the*pants*third floor." He said in between pants.
Yukimura didn't understand a single thing he said. "Huh?"
Marui slowly stood up.
"MARUITRICKED….THISNEWGUYANDTHEGUYFELL…DOWNFROMTHESIXTH…FLOORAND…WEDON'TKNOWIFHE'SDEADORALIVE!" Marui shouted.
Again, Yukimura couldn't understand what the red head said. "What?"
Niou suddenly appeared beside Marui and tackled him to the ground. "What do you mean it's my fault? It's yours!"
"NO YOURS!"
"YOURS!"
"NO YOURS!"
"YOURS!"
"NIOU! MARUI! KIRIHARA!" Sanada yelled. "RIGHT HERE THIS INSTANT!"
'Uh-oh'
"Y-yes fukubuchou."
BAM!
"ITAI!"
Sanada backhanded the three boys. "Now, explain it clearly this time." He said sternly.
"BUCHOU!" This time, Jackal was the one who one shouted it. He was running towards them with the same expression as Marui had.
A nerve popped inside Sanada as he used his hat as a boomerang and aimed it towards Jackal. Expected from his great accuracy, Sanada's hat did HIT Jackal…by the head and fell down. Normally, a simple hat wouldn't hurt someone but this is Sanada who we're talking about. A VERY pissed off Sanada who we are talking about and that Jackal fell down on the solid ground with a loud THUD. Amazingly, the hat flew back towards Sanada like a boomerang after it had hit its target.
I give him a ten! (Cue in applause from me)
Niou, Marui and Kirihara winced with what had happened with Jackal. Poor Jackal, so young and so…bald and had to face their fukubuchou's wrath even though he wasn't even a part of their argument.
Gathering up the courage he had, Marui scratched the back of his head and laughed nervously. "Um…you see the reason we're like this is because of-" Marui paused as he looked up. "Ah…"
And for some odd reason, the guy who they were going to tell them about was STILL falling and all of them couldn't help but look at him as he fell and yes, Jackal was with them after he recovered from the very painful fall he got a while ago because of a hat.
"this some guy…that fell down from the…sixth floor." Marui trailed off not keeping his eyes off of the falling student with every word he said.
(Cue in sound effects whenever somebody falls from a high place in a cartoon or an anime) WHOO…
Fate just had to play with them today for the guy continued to fall until he landed on the school garden pond, mind you, the school pond is very big.
A pregnant silence covered them until the guy's school tie was seen floating on top of the clear water.
…
"HOLD ON!" Kirihara yelled running towards the pond to save the 'boy' with the other regulars behind him not knowing that this 'boy' shall change their lives forever.
-End-
Hey, this is Silky-chan here but you can call me Rie.
So what do you guys think? I'm still thinking whether or not I'm going to continue this since this is only like a prologue of the whole story. Tell me if you'd like for me to continue this or not, ok?
Because, I'm going to continue this during my break.
Please review!
