Hello there! This is a new story brought to you by EcstaticPetenshi! For those who know me, I hope you'll enjoy this story as much as my other stories. For those who see me for the first time, nice to meet you and I hope you enjoy this story as well!

This time I'll try to write another Rikkaidai fics with YukimuraxOC as the main pairing and there'll be a lot of new OCs this time. This story takes place two years after the Prince of Tennis ended so that:

3rd year = high school 2nd year

2nd year = high school 1st year

Disclaimer: I do not own the Prince of Tennis.

Sorry for bad English and typo.

Enjoy people!

Ch1: Gladiolus

It was spring, a season for new beginnings. The school year at Rikkaidai High School had just begun and the freshmen tried their best to adapt with their new environment. Being a freshman meant new school, new uniforms, new friends, and a new life. Some of them take this chance to be reborn as a new individual by changing their appearance, joining a completely different club, or taking up a part time job. The more serious ones started thinking about what they would do in the future while the others just enjoyed the new form of freedom as high school students.

Either way, the new high school life would be boring without a lover, right? Most of the girls thought about this. Checking out the hot guys in school was a must do. Was there any cute one in the class? What about the seniors? A young handsome teacher could be an eye candy as well.

"Hey, have you seen them?"

"I have! I have! Oh my God they are so hot!"

"Eh, I know them! They were my senior in middle school."

"Eh, really?"

"What? You know them? In person? I'm so jealous!"

"They've been really popular since back then, you know."

"Who's your favorite?"

That was what a group of girls in one of the first year classes were talking about during the lunch break. They giggled and blushed as they talked and exchanged information about the hot guys in school. Some of them even had already had photos of those guys. Dreamy sighs were heard occasionally when they started daydreaming on what it would be like if one of the guys became their boyfriend.

"They must be talking about the regulars of tennis club."

A girl said to her friend as they watched their female classmates gossiping about their seniors. Both of them were sitting three rows away from girls yet they could listen to the conversation clearly because of the loud voices.

"Who?" The second girl asked as she stuffed her lunch into her small mouth.

"The tennis club's regulars! Don't tell me you don't know them!" The first girl said in shocked.

The second girl shook her head. "Not at all."

The first girl slapped her forehead. "Geez, Natsu! People's been talking about them for one week right after our first day yet you still don't know them?"

Natsu, or Natsuko to be exact, shook her head again. "So, who are they? Do you know them, Kyoko-chan?"

"Well, of course I do." The so-called Kyoko girl said proudly. She crossed her arms and begun. "First of all, there is the second year captain, Yukimura Seiichi-senpai. He has beautiful dark blue wavy hair and his skin is as white as porcelain. It's said that he's even prettier than the prettiest girl in school! Despise his slim figure, his charisma as a captain is unquestionable and he's the strongest member of the tennis club at the moment."

"Hmm…" Natsuko mumbled as she sucked on her red chopsticks.

"Then there is Sanada Genichirou-senpai, the vice captain. He's like the exact opposite of Yukimura-senpai. He's really stern and sometimes he looks really scary. Even so, most of his fans say that it's his charm point," Kyoko continued. "Then, Yanagi Renji-senpai. He is also the vice president of the student council. There're also Marui Bunta-senpai who loves sweets and Kuwahara Jackal-senpai the half-Brazillian. I heard that they are best friends since middle school and together they are national level doubles players. The other doubles players are Niou Masaharu-senpai and Yagyuu Hiroshi-senpai. The silver haired Niou-senpai is called the Trickster and Yagyuu-senpai is the Gentleman. They have really different personality yet their combination is as good as Marui-senpai and Kuwahara-senpai." She took a deep breath and continued. "Last but not the least is Kirihara Akaya-kun. He's a first year yet he's already a regular after beating the previous regular who's a third year. See, don't they sound really- Hey! Are you even listening?"

"Uh… Basically there're seven second years and one first years, right?" Natsuko scratched her head and tried to remember what her friend had just told her. "And all of them sound really awesome…"

Kyoko skeptically raised a brow. The girl who sat in front of her might not even remember all of the names. "Well, I suppose you should see them by yourself so that you'll understand why all of the girls population in this school adore them."

"I… not really interested in this…" Natsuko yawned as she stretched her hands. "If they're that hot, they must at least have a girlfriend or two, right? I don't see any reason to dream of somebody else's boyfriend."

"Well, you're right… But not all of them are taken!" Kyoko defended. "Yukimura-senpai and Sanada-senpai don't have any girlfriend yet."

"Oh well, whatever…." Natsuko replied as she stood up.

Kyoko blinked. "Hey, where are you going?"

"I'm so sleepy. I'm taking a nap at the rooftop before the next class begins," Natsuko explained. "Give me a call in case I oversleep." She then waved a goodbye to Kyoko and lazily strolled out to the corridor.

'Meh, as if those celebrity-like guys would ever took a glance at normal girls like us.' She thought as her legs took her to the south building. 'Anyway, aren't Kyoko and those girls exaggerating too much? Are those guys really that stunning? Even make all of the girls here indifferently fall head over heel?' She had seen some school idols in her previous school. Indeed they had been good-looking but for her it hadn't been that much.

Those tennis club's regulars, she bet they were the same as the other so-called school idols.

She walked upstairs and finally arrived at the highest level. She opened a door which led her to the outside. At first she had to narrow her eyes because of the sudden change of lightning, but as time passed by she got used to it and started to look around. The roof top was quite big and spacious; on the other side of she could see green plants.

'Is that a garden?' She asked herself. She then decided to explore that place.

When she was near enough to the garden, she could see a lot of white flowers bloomed in the flower beds. She squatted next to them and rested her head on her knee. They were so pretty. She wondered who took care of them. Whoever he was, he must be a very skillful person so that these flowers could bloom like this.

"Pretty aren't they?"

Suddenly she heard a soothing voice. She raised her head and looked around. Some meters away from her, a guy with dark blue hair was sitting on a white metal bench. A sketch book was in his hand and next to him there was a set of watercolor and various sizes of brushes.

"Cosmos. Just like its name, it brings us at ease only by looking at it." He smiled to her as he talked.

She got petrified. Just who in the earth was talking to her?

He chuckled as he saw her funny expression which was a mix of surprise and awe. Then, as if he could read what was on her mind, he introduced himself. "I'm Yukimura Seiichi, second year. Pleased to meet you."

As she heard that name, her eyes unfocused and her mind suddenly traveled back to some minutes ago when Kyoko had told her about a certain person belonged to the tennis club's regular. Kyoko's voice echoed in her head.

First of all, there is the second year captain, Yukimura Seiichi-senpai. He has beautiful dark blue wavy hair and his skin is as white as porcelain. It's said that he's even prettier than the prettiest girl in school!

When she didn't say anything in reply, he placed his sketch book aside, stood up and walked to her. Before she could even process what was happening with her brain, he had already squatted next to him.

"I'm curious, what are you seeing from here? Do you by any chance spot a strange-looking bug?" He asked as his eyes gazed on the flowers in front of them.

She looked at him and blinked several time. "Eh?"

"Hm?" He turned his head and looked at her.

He met her green orbs with his gentle eyes. His eyes' color was darker than his hair, just like the night sky. That his smile was still there, as if it would never disappear. Her mind was completely shut down when she noticed that his face was really close.

"Ah, by the way, can I ask your name?" He asked.

She opened her mouth. She wanted to answer but her voice didn't come out properly.

"I- I… I…"

What was this? It was the first time she had felt this way. Her mind was scattered and she even didn't know what she wanted to say.

"I… You…"

What was this feeling? Why did she suddenly felt so strange?

Was this… love? Did she fall in love? With him?

"I…"

She shut her eyes tightly and clenched her fists. She didn't understand this. She couldn't understand what was happening with herself.

"Senpai, please be my boyfriend!"

Huh?

Who… had just said that? Was it… her?

She peeked through her eyelids and saw his smile had disappeared. His eyes were widened and his mouth was slightly opened.

Upon realizing what she had just done, she pressed her hands to her lips. She felt her face was burning and it must be as red as her hair now. She quickly got up and used all of her strength to run as fast as she could. She passed the door and slammed it closed.

Her feet suddenly got numb and she fell onto the floor.

For fifteen years in her life Izumi Natsuko had never believed about such a thing called love at the first sight. She had thought it was only exist in fiction books and movies. However, just now she had experienced it! And in advance, she had just confessed that feelings without thinking!

Oh, that shocked face of Yukimura-senpai. She couldn't forget it.

Just what on earth had she just done!

Confession scene, right on the first chapter! How was it? Different from my other OCs, I try to make a spontaneous girl ^^

My first priority is still NadeCinde, but I'll try to update this story as well!

Please tell me what you think about the first chapter. Was it good or bad?

See you! Love, EP :)
