A/N:
My first ever Prince of Tennis Fan Fiction! I am so excited to work on it! Of course; I have yet create an actual plot to this story. Well, I guess there is somewhat of a plot, but I am unsure of what I am going to write about in the future.
Anyways, the story called A Change in Beginning by HiKaRi-ChIbI inspired me to make this! ^0^
It is shounen ai too, but the pairing will be different from the one above.
I guess you can say it is somewhat AU-ish.
Normal Dialogue:
"Yo, Yo, Yo, Yo, Yo," the angry cats screeched at each other as they got into scratching position.
Thoughts: Italic
"Yo yoi! I cannot …repeat cannot…lose this battle!" The wise cat master of the east exclaimed inwardly.
English: Bold
"Thou have yet the strength to bring thy head to the pave." The wise cat master of the west declared.
Flashback: Bold and Italic
The cat master of the east took the chance shown and hopped into the air. While in the air, he straightened his back paw and disclosed his once concealed claws.
The cat master of the west's eyes widened in recognition of the move about to be performed.
"You remember don't you? This is the move you taught me…back then." The now aerial cat choked out.
Time seemed to freeze as each of the cat's minds became clouded with old memories.
'Chickachee, This move is forbidden. You must, I repeat, must never perform it unless the situation calls for it." The western cat stated. The eastern cat licked its paw and playfully exclaimed.
'Someday I will kill you with it. Nyahaha." The western cat's eyes widened slightly then started to lick its paw as well.
'As long as you don't do it to anybody else." The eastern cat paused in its bath time and looked bewildered at his old friend.
The aerial cat fell and plopped down onto its feet. "Ouch, stupid memory, made me fall out of the air. Ugh, I was having a cool moment too." It whined to itself.
It's His World: Prologue
The young boy gasped for breath.
He couldn't see.
He couldn't hear.
He couldn't smell.
He could barely breathe.
Yet this feeling he had; it wasn't fear. It was strange and somewhat nostalgic. He knew this feeling.
He slowly closed his eyes and ignored the exasperated crowd hollering around him. He steadied his breath and collected his thoughts.
'This feeling...' He thought to himself. 'I know this feeling…This familiar feeling in my bones, this feeling coursing through my veins, but what is it? This feeling welling up inside me...'
"Tennis is fun…isn't it, Ryoma?"
His breathing hitched as an old memory started to cloud his mind. 'Tennis...is fun?' The thought echoed in his mind.
"Excuse me young man, but if you don't serve soon, you will be forced to forfeit." A voice stated breaking him out of his thoughts.
"Don't bother talking to him, he senses have been dulled." He heard the man across from him, beyond the net, snicker.
His eyes snapped open, unnoticed by the people around him. He thanked his hat for covering his eyes and a smirk started to fix itself on his face.
He could see, smell, hear, every sense he thought he lost returned. His lips twitched upward as a smile slowly began to form.
The weight he felt toppling down onto him had lifted itself. He understood what this feeling was now.
It wasn't fear.
It wasn't exhaustion.
The feeling was of him facing an obstacle so impossible for him to pass through. The feeling of his determination not declining but increasing; it was a feeling he thought he had lost.
He stared at the ground and muttered, "Tennis is fun."
The referee lifted his hat slightly and asked, "Excuse me?'
Ryoma swiftly lifted his head and faced the man across the court from him. He raised his racket and pointed it at his shocked opponent.
"Old man, Tennis is fun. Isn't it?" He smiled.
Then the world around him turned white, as he felt a surge of energy pass through him.
Little did the young man know that this would be the day that would change his life forever.
I know what ya are thinking, this sounds similar to Yukimura and Echizen match at the end of the anime and manga, but I am warning ya that it's not the same match. Heheh like I said this is somewhat AU-ish! :3
Anyways I am somewhat unsure of who the pair should be…
Anybody who reads this please tell what do you think? Should it be:
EchizenxFuji
EchizenxKintaro
Or
EchizenxAtobi?
I can't decide so please help! Also please criticize the chapter since this is my first fan fiction for Prince of Tennis.
Thank you for reading this piece of poop of a chapter! Wow, long Author's notes. O_O
