Chapter one: Another Echizen

Tokyo International airport, 6:00 AM. A person walked towards where the luggage was about to come out, while waiting a cellphone started ringing. Looking at the screen as to see who the call was from, smirking lightly, the mysterious person answered. "Hello? Yes I've just arrived."

At the Echizen house hold

An alarm started going off, an annoyed teenage boy tried to reach the alarm to make it shut the hell up. He arrived back to Japan just yesterday! And today was the start of his first day as a high school student. After being away for two years he decided he wanted to finish studying in Japan. With a big yawn the boy walked to the bathroom to start getting ready.

At the Ryuuzaki's

A teenage girl got up early as usual, but this time anxious since it is her first day as a high school student. She got up so early from the anxiety that she was already completely dressed in her new cute uniform. It was similar to her middle school uniform for the exception of the color. Instead of the green sleeves, this one was a sky blue and substituting the pink ribbon, there was a small red tie. But the uniform was the least of her problems... She just didn't know how she should do her hair. She could do her usual twin braids but something was telling her that she needed change already! It's high school for goodness sake. "Mou... I don't know what to do with it. Maybe..." she looked at herself in the mirror and she freed her messy bun, her hair fell flawlessly like a waterfall. She decided that it looked good just as it is. With a small touch she put a blue star clip. "Done!" then a knock was heard. "Come in!" the door opened and her dear grandma looked very surprised.

"Sakuno? You are up so early child are you that anxious? Haha but hey I love the new look! Just make sure to have something to tie it up for tennis practice okay?" Ryuuzaki sensei said with a very happy expression. Sure she looked scary to others but she was always sweet and caring for her only dear granddaughter. "Hai obaa-chan!"

"Now let's go down and have breakfast so that we can head out"

"Hai!" said Sakuno with her sweet angelic smile.

The Echizen's

"YO kid! You better come down and eat if you don't want to be late!" Screamed Nanjiro Echizen up the stairs for his youngest son to come down. Ryoma of course annoyed at his father already walked down stairs with a scold on his face. "Baka Oyaji"

"HAHAHAHA what's with that face of yours huh?"

"It is all your fault that I'm tired. Only you would get me a flight a day BEFORE school starts. Baka."

"I don't know what you are talking about" said Nanjiro to his son with a devilish smile on his face. Ryoma annoyed, quickly thought of something smirking.

"Oka-san! I know where baka Oyaji has his-" Nanjiro knowing where he was going with that quickly shut up his son's mouth.

"Ryoma dear did you said something?" Rinko Echizen came out of the kitchen.

"He just said he's hungry!" Nanjiro said. Ryoma satisfied with the out come, he started smirking and headed towards the kitchen to eat so he could head to school.

Sakuno and her grandma got out of their house and parted ways. Ryuuzaki sensei was still a couch and math teacher at Seigaku middle school. "Okay Sakuno I'm off be careful on your way to school I can't wait to hear how your day was! Ja ne!" said her grandma while waving her a good-bye, so she waved back and smiled. Sakuno started her way to school, while walking she started having flashbacks on her first day in middle school, where she had so many memories with the sempais, the trio, Tomo-chan, and... She blushed thinking about that certain cocky prince. "Mou! Why am I blushing about it again!" she was so distracted that she didn't notice she bumped into someone's back and almost fell backwards from the impact when a strong hand saved her from the fall. Bowing down in a complete 90 degree angle she panicked and apologized "Ah! Gomen ne! I was distract-" Sakuno was in shock. The person that saved her was like a dream. His greenish hair, those yellowish hazel eyes... It can't be. "Ryyoma-kun?"

"Ryuuzaki?" Ryoma asked of course always keeping his cool, but inside he was shocked. Not from saving someone of course, it usually happens to bump into people specially him practically walking half-asleep. What he wasn't expecting was that the girl that bumped into him was none other that his past couch's granddaughter. Ryuuzaki Sakuno. How could he have known? The girl looked completely different than two years ago. She has developed quite into a beautiful girl, not that she was any ugly before but from her childish cuteness he wasn't ready for this beautiful woman before him. He had started thinking about her ever since she gifted him that tennis ball with a chibi him drawn on it. Part of him knew that he liked the girl, but decided to brush it off, for the sake of tennis.

"Hai.. So It is Ryoma-kun" Sakuno said with that angelic smile. Ryoma wasn't expecting that either, first she wasn't stuttering like usually and second that smile! Urgh. He grunted mentally. "Hn." he said keeping it as cool as possible. Damn out of all days not to wear his hat! Now he had to fight the blush. "So is Ryoma-kun heading to school too?" Sakuno asked while she stared at Ryoma in her school's uniform. It was similar to the girls, blue jacket, white dressy shirt under it with a red tie, and blue pants. "Hn. And if don't head now we will be late" he said as a matter of fact. "Hai!" and they both headed to school in a familiar, comfortable silence.

"So this is Seigaku huh" the mysterious person said while smirking. "Today will be very interesting ne, Ryoma"

Echizen's House

Ring, Ring "I'm coming, I'm coming! Geez can't I read my precious magazines in peace. Moshi Moshi?" Nanjiro Echizen picked up the phone. "Well hello there Nanjiro dear." Nanjiro froze at the voice.

"Oo oka- sa-an?"

"Of course it's me! Thanks for calling once in a while you ungrateful son!"

"ha ha... Gomen but you usually don't call is there something the matter?"

There was silence, and then a pale Nanjiro screamed angrily "WHATT?!"

"Oh dear what is the ruckus!" Rinko popped out the kitchen to go to her husband.

Nanjiro just looked at her and uttered. "She's here... In Japan"

Rinko understanding her husbands expression, went into shock as well.

Back at Seigaku High

Sakuno was happy, it was a good start to high school already. She was in the same classroom as the trio and Tomoka Osakada, her best friend. While they all sat down. The teacher came in "Hello everyone"

"Good morning Sensei!" the class greeted back.

"Today we will have a new or no so new student for some of you I presume, please come in"

Everyone was anxious of course, except for Sakuno she already knew who it was. Trying to hide her blush, she looked down at her desk.

"Everyone this is Echizen Ryoma, He recently moved back from America to finish his studies here. I know some of you might me old classmates with him. Now Echizen please introduce yourself."

"Hn. Echizen Ryoma." He bowed and started walking to an empty seat, which to his luck it was next to Sakuno but behind loud Horio. 'Hmm not bad' he smirked inside. Sakuno on the other side was blushing, but she tried to hold back as much as possible. She looked up and smiled gently at him as in to say 'Welcome back' Ryoma understood that smile so to keep it cool but to also acknowledge her, he bowed his head as to say thank you.

Classes went on smoothly and fast since it is the first day. It was already the bell ringing saying the last period was over. "You still play tennis?" Ryoma asked Sakuno. Of course she was shocked since he never starts conversations. "Hai I do"

"Then let's head to the courts together"

Sakuno blushes lightly, and nodded as a response. Tomoka had already left with Horio since they both needed to help the teacher with some paper copies before tennis practice.

At the Tennis courts

"Hnnn nice big courts I like it already" the mysterious person said. "I believe classes are over I should be heading to the courts to start this fun day" the person said while taking eating a green apple.

"Kikumaru- Sempai!"

"Oops! People are coming I better hide for now" the person said while covering with a hoodie.

"Nyah! Momo! Wassup!"

"Sempai guess what I heard!" Momoshiro Takeshi said with a grin on his face

"what what what!" Kikumaru Eiji the energetic acrobat said jumping anxiously

"I heard Echizen is back!" Momo said with a bigger grin

"Nyahhh! You are lying! I won't fall for it Momo!"

"There is only one way to find out!" Momo said as he pointed towards the courts. Both him a Eiji started walking towards the courts.

"So they know him huh. I bet they are in the team they look like regulars" the person said and dumped the finished apple in the trash. "I think I should make my appearance now" a smirk hiding under shadowy bangs.

All the Seigaku team was finally reunited and they were just missing their little kouhai. Eiji and Momo were the first ones to get there, well is to be expected practice doesn't start until another 45 minutes. "Nyah! Momo I don't see ochibi!" Eiji pouted.

"Hold on Sempai, it is still early and you know how he is always late" Momo smiled while having little flashbacks

"Nyah you are right!"

Little by little all the regulars were showing up. Kunimitsu Tezuka, third year captain. Oishi Shuichiro, third year vice-captain. Fuji Shusuke, third year. Inui Sadaharu, third year. Kawamura Takashi, third year. Kaido Kaoru, second year. Kikumaru is also a third year and Momoshiro is a second year.

"Hello everyone Nyah!" Eiji said with energy

Everyone smiled, well of course with the exception of their serious captain and Kaido who never really smiles.

"We are all here we are just missing Echizen" Oishi said with a little sadness

"Don't worry Sempai I'm sure you will be surprised" Said Momoshiro smiling

"What do you mean?" Inui asked as he took out his data notebook to start writting any possible data.

When Momo was about to answer they saw a small figure approaching. When they looked towards the person's direction their eyes almost came out of their heads, even the serious captain looked pale.

"E-echizen?" Momo managed to say

The person standing before them was small alright, and lean too. Long greenish hair down the back flowing like a green sea. Sharp but cute eyes beaming a familiar hazel honey that they knew. And that pose! The same arrogant but somehow flawless and a victorious smirk marking the lips.

"O-ochibi! Since when are you a girl!" Eiji interrupted everyone's trance. They were all shocked!

"What are you talking about Kikumaru sempai I am not a girl" Another voice came from behind them. Of course that was the real Ryoma Echizen, who grew a few inches over the years just being a little shorter than Momoshiro for like 2 inches. Sakuno who was beside him had her head crooked to the side in confusion as to why her Sempais were acting strange.

"Buu-t How?! Echizen we swear that girl over there could be your twin! Do you have a twin and you didn't tell us? And here we thought you only had an older brother!" Momo screamed at his friend. Ryoma in confusion looked to his sempais. "What? Of course I don't have a twin what are you all-" and the he cut himself off when he saw the girl. He was shocked, they were right a girl that looked like him was standing there looking at him with his own smirking face. 'What the hell?'

"Who are you?" he simply said again keeping it cool. Sakuno on the other hand looked like she saw a ghost. But she patiently waited for the girls response like everyone else.

The girl was laughing so hard inside her head. 'Seriously he doesn't remember me? Hmmm I'll make him then' smiling she started to talk. "Hmmm Ryoma you really don't remember me at all?" this time she had a serious but yet soft face. Her eyes warmed up while looking at him sternly in the eye. Ryoma was never slow so just like he had been hit, he remembered that soft expression. He slap himself mentally 'Baka of course!'

"Hn. Ohayo Oba-chan" He simply said. While the girl smiled.

Everyone stayed silent until they processed what he said,

"EHHHH?!"
