Hi! I know I haven't done any of my other fanfics, but then either I've gotten bored with them or have a hit a major roadblock in the process. Though I am working on some of them, like Golden Eyes Who See To Much and The Rescue of A Friend, it's just taking awhile. Anyways, I love Prince of Tennis, POT. And thought I would take a crack at doing a fanfic of it, and I waited until it was over so I could really give an account my own way of how I wanted it. Just to let you know there will be some Yaoi for I have paired together, Eiji/Oishi, Inui/Kaidoh, and in the future Fuji/Tezuka. As the only straight couples in here are Ryoma/Sakuno and Ann (Tachibana's Lil Sis)/Momo. Now that everything has been straightened out, on with the story! Oh and I don't own Prince of Tennis, the reknowned Takeshi Konomi does, and I make no money from this, I only make my own fun!
Probability that we'll meet again is 95%...
Everyone never questioned Inui's Data, and this time they actually did. For after the National Championship everyone began to scatter. Ryoma went back to America trying to become a pro, Tezuka went to Germany to rehabilitate his elbow, while the rest of the Senpai-Taichi (Upper Classmen) went to high school except for Momo and Kaido, who have one more year at Seigaku.
Some of them knew they would see each other, after all they would all be attending the same high school. The only two they ever questioned seeing again, were the ones who went to different countries. Those two were the ones who truly believed that there last good bye to their team, no their friends, was when there planes took off, taking them to a future they never expected....
Golden eyes stared at the man before him, not believing what he had just said, "What?" The man in the suit before him sighed, "Ryoma... You need to go back to high school, an actual school. For you always fall asleep during your sessions with your tutors or you come up with the excuse of something involving tennis." Ryoma leaned back against the coach, "Ah.... But I have straight A's, what's more than that. After all, it took me two years to reach this state that I am in the pro's, Mr. Konomi."
Mr. Konomi ground his teeth together, for the youth did have brains. What he lacka though is people skills, which is why he doesn't have a lot of popularity among his peers that and his taunting of them.
"Look, you're an amazing player, but it's been decided by me, your Manager, and your sponsors, that you need to go back to high school. Though we will allow you to choose your own school, but you have to pass it through us first, understand?"
Ryoma closed his eyes at the thought of having to attend a school. Though the prospect of him choosing his own school did bring him some sort of happiness. At least he has some choice, though still, "High school huh?... Can it be in a foreign country, or must it be in America?" Mr. Konomi smiled, taking it to heart that Ryoma is taking an interest in the matter, "Of course you can, but remember you must bring your choice to us though, and see if we approve of it." The young man before him gave him a smirk full of mirth, "I have already chosen my school then Mr. Konomi." Mr. Konomi raised a brow at this news, "Oh... This quickly? What school then have you chosen so.... quickly."
"Seishun Kotogakko."
Tezuka gazed down at his left arm, turning it slightly, before looking back up at the school before him. He couldn't believe he had been able to return his final year of high school to Japan, for the therapy for his elbow had taken much longer than planned. Now that he had returned though, he has plans to play with his old teammates, his friends, on Team Seigaku, or should it be called Team Seikoto.
Shaking his head at his wayward thoughts, he calmly walked through the front doors of the school. He walked towards his homeroom already have gotten things situated and knowing where things are already. Sliding the door open he gazed at his classmates, and to his surprise he saw Oishi in there.
"TEZUKA?!"
"Oishi! Silent! We're in a classroom." The teacher yelled as he turned towards the door, seeing that his new student had promptly arrived. Giving off a small cough he gestured for Tezuka to enter, "As you can see we have a new student. May I introduce, Tezuka Kunimitsu." Tezuka turned towards the class and bowed, "May this year bring us towards our goals." Standing he glanced back at the teacher, "Sensei, were do you recommend that I sit at?" The teacher looked around the room and spotted a empty seat, "Seeing as you know Oishi, you may take the empty seat next to him."
Giving him a small polite ball, he head over towards Oishi, and sat down next to him. All the while trying not to look at Oishi's penetrating glare of doom. He knew he only had to wait a couple of minutes before Oishi would break the spell. 1 minute.... 2 minutes... 3 minutes....
"Tezuka, why didn't you tell me, or for that matter any of us that you were coming back?"
Sighing, he titled his head towards Oishi, "I wanted to surprise you all, and see how you reacted." The egg head shook his head, "Basically you wanted to see by our actions if we missed you, correct?" Tezuka refused to answer that. Oishi smiled, "I knew it. Well just to let you know, we missed you greatly, Buchou." Tezuka stared at him when he called him that, "I haven't been called that since I left."
"By the way, since your actually here, have lunch with us...."
Mr. Konomi stared at Ryoma, "It has been decided you may attend this school. After all, the Seigaku regulars are there." Ryoma smirked, "All of them are Mada Mada Dane... And not all are there, Buchou is probably in Germany finishing off there." Mr. Konomi smiled, "Well here's your plane ticket, and kid, you're about to get a surprise when you arrive in Japan."
Ryoma blanched, "Please don't tell me you told Ouji that I am coming back. Honestly tell me, Kaa-san is picking me up." Mr. Konomi laughed, knowing how bad Nanjiro could be, "Yes, your Mother is picking you up. And trust me, the surprise will be greatly satisfying and nothing dealing with your Father." Ryoma gave him a look, "Well I'll see you around in a year, unless you want me to completely graduate there." Mr. Konomi smirked, "No you'll be graduating this year, that's why we've been having you do much harder work with your tutors. Meaning you've just passed your Junior year of high school, congratulations and good luck in Japan kid." With that he quickly strode off before Ryoma could explode on him.
Ryoma gave him the look of death as he watched him walk off, "No wonder why they kept pandering me with Ponta.. Finish this problem, read this, spell this and you can have a drink."
"Now boarding flight 219, bound for Tokyo, Japan."
Ryoma's trade mark smirk appeared on his face, as he briskly turned around and boarded his plane. Not even caring anymore what surprise is in store for him upon arriving.
Tezuka walked behind Oishi, heading towards a table that has many familiar faces.
"Hey Oishi- TEZUKA!"
"TEZUKA BUCHOU!"
"BUCHOU!"
"TEZUKA!"
Tezuka kept hearing his name shouted over and over with much enthusiasm as he stared down at his old teammates, including Momo and Kaido. Inhaling a deep breath, he calmly stated, "50 LAPS!! ALL OF YOU!" That announcement brought a chorus of laughter as he set down by his 'best friend' Fuji.
Fuji smiled at Tezuka, "Welcome back, Tezuka." Tezuka nodded at him before turning his attention to the others. Gazing at all the familiar faces, he spotted one person missing, "Where's Kawamura?" Momo gave out a mournful sigh, "He's learning how to be a sushi chef to take over his father's business. He doesn't play tennis that much anymore. I can sometimes get him to play, but it's almost about once every month if that." Tezuka nodded, "I see."
At that moment, Eiji glomped him, "Don't worry Tezuka! I'm sure he'll join the tennis team now that your back! For he actually kept on saying that if you returned he would join the team!" Momo stood up then, raising his hands for silence, "On that matter, this actually reminds me of something.. I had a phone call from an American number a couple of days ago, some Mr. Konomi called me, and stated 'I would like you and all of Ryoma's old teammates and friends to greet him at the airport terminal. For he is returning to Japan to finish his schooling and shall be attending the very same school as you.' Which means, the whole team is getting back together!" This brought shouts of joy until motherly Oishi had to end it.
"We may all be back together, but sadly Tezuka and Ryoma still have to try out for the team if they want to join the tennis club. Same thing for Kawamura if he actually wants to join. As the team captain, I can't let them join and become regulars just because their my friends, they must try out and take a regulars spot in three weeks when Seikotto's now famous monthly tryouts begin."
Everyone is giving Oishi a look of disbelief, except for Tezuka, "Oishi is right. You all had to it and so shall we. Rules must be upheld. Though can we challenge someone and take their spot directly?" Oishi gave him a puzzled look, before comprehension finally settled in, "You mean, challenge me to become buchou, right?" Tezuka gave a slight nod, "Of course, Fuko-Buchou." Oishi just smiled at him, "I'll gladly take that challenge, considering these idiots were the ones who voted me in as buchou." Momo and Eiji smiled at that declaration, "Coach said we could vote! And Oishi is the only one who wouldn't maim us." All eyes focused on Inui as he is browsing through his data book, noticing the stares he looked up, "Are you all so curious as to try my new Inui Juice?!"
"NO!"
Tezuka coughed, "No, I think we'll all pass. Anyways, Momo, when is Echizen's plane arriving?" Momo gave off his monkey smile, "Why two hours after school, giving us enough time to kidnap Kawamura and head to the airport!" Kaido glared at him, "Bastard... You ruined my plans!" Momo took up a fighting pose, "Oh, so you wanna go at it, Snake?" Everyone groaned as they were at it again. Then Fuji actually had a bright idea, "Ne, Tezuka, how about we give the Ryuzaki's a call and have them come too. Eiji can pass a message to Katsuo, Kachiro, and Horio of course, since he passes them on the way back to class. I'm sure it'll be a great gathering of friends and a nice surprise."
Eiji smiled at Fuji while still hanging off of Tezuka, "Fujiko! That's a great idea! Why don't you call them right now, considering Sakuno is helping Baa-chan today at their tennis courts." Tezuka gave off a, 'hmp' in agreement. Fuji pulled out his cell quickly scanning through and finding the correct number and dialed it...
All of this setting off Ryoma's grand return to Amercia and his friends.
Well what do you all think? Should I continue the scheme of things? And if anyone hasn't guessed it yet Ryoma's manger is actually Takeshi Konomi the creater of POT.
