Me: Welcome to chapter 1! *grins sheepishly* before I forget I don't own Prince of Tennis. Oh yeah and also, Fuji will appear here as a girl.
"Well, that's all of it" Fuji Yoshiko said as she wiped a bead of sweat on her forehead. They had just finished moving and arranging their furniture in their new home. "Why don't we call it as a day guys?" Yumiko suggested. "Fine by me" Yuuta just spurted out not even caring who's he talking to. "Hai! I just finished arranging my stuff toys in my room!" A 6 year old girl with sandy brown hair and a never ending smile plastered on her face ran down the stairs.
"Syusuke! I told you to stop running down the stairs! It's dangerous!" Yoshiko said to her daughter. " I'm sorry mother" Fuji apologized.
"Che" Yuuta murmured loud enough for him to be heard.
"Saa, is my cute otouto tired?" Fuji pinched Yuuta's cheeks.
"Itai! Stop it aneki!" he pushed her hand away from his cheeks.
"You're no fun" she pouted.
"Whatever" Yuuta walked away.
"Now you two stop that and go to bed. It's already 9 o' clock" Yoshiko pushed her son and daughter towards their rooms. "That goes for you too Yumiko" she glared at her eldest child. "Hai" Yumiko sighed in defeat. Thus, all the lights in the Fuji household were now turned off.
The next day…
The sound of her alarm clock woke Fuji up. Fuji looked at it and saw that it was already 8 in the morning. She got up, took a bath, brushed her teeth and got some clothes on. "Syusuke! Time for breakfast!" her mother called out.
When she got to the dining room she found Yuuta out of sight. "Nee-san where's Yuuta" she asked as she sat on her chair. "Huh? Yuuta? Well, he went outside to play. Apparently he already made some friends yesterday." Yumiko pointed her fork towards the door.
"Okay" Fuji replied and ate her food.
After a few minutes… "I'm done!" Fuji shouted and went towards her mother. "Kaa-san can I go outside?" she tugged at her mother's long skirt. "Where are you going dear?" Yoshiko looked down. "Well I was planning on walking around to see what kind of place this is." Fuji smiled and was scratching her head.
"I'm sorry young lady but you are not allowed to go on your own" her mother returned her attention on her work. Fuji's smile disappeared. Then she thought of something. "Then can I go if someone's going with me?" Fuji's eyes sparkled with hope. "Well, yes" Yoshiko said.
"Nee-san! Would you like to go?
"I can't go; I still have some stuff to do sorry Syusuke." Yumiko ruffled her hair. Again, Fuji's smile disappeared.
Seeing her daughter disappointed made her sad. "I can go with you Syusuke, I'm finished with my chores anyway" she kneeled down face to face with Fuji. "Really? Thank you kaa-san" Fuji changed back to her smiling face again.
Fuji dashed to her room and looked for clothes while her mother also prepares herself as well.
They were now walking around. It was not a bad place as Fuji thought. It was just like Chiba where they came from but there were some differences too.
Kanagawa was beautiful. The tall buildings, the houses everywhere, the laughter of people everywhere and of course the majestic trees that surrounded some areas.
"Syusuke we've been walking for an hour already, do you want to rest?" her mother asked her. "Not yet kaa-san but I can see you're already tired. I heard that there's a park nearby that's where you'll rest kay?" Fuji looked up and flashed her sweet smile.
What a thoughtful daughter Yoshiko thought. "Ne kaa-san you can rest under this tree. I'll go walk around the park." Fuji waved her hands. "Okay just make sure to get back here before sundown. I still have to make dinner" she told her daughter.
Fuji was walking around when a pond caught her attention. She skipped happily towards it and chuckled on how beautiful the fishes were. If only she had some food to feed the fish. She sighed in disappointment.
When she raised her head she saw a little boy, who seemed to be 6 years old also, under a Sakura tree reading a book. The boy seemed to fascinate her. He had brown hair, a seemingly fair complexion and last but not the least a stoic face. He was wearing rimless glasses.
She instantly introduced herself to the boy. "Hi! My name's Fuji Syusuke what's yours?" She sat down beside him. The boy looked at him with confusion. Was she talking to him? It seems there are no other people near them.
"Tezuka Kunimitsu" He said as he went back to reading. Fuji scanned the book that Tezuka was reading. "Big Bad City huh?" she said with amusement. "Ah" was his Bluntant reply. "I see you're a boy of few words" she chuckled.
Tezuka looked at her with confusion. "Well your still 6 years old right? You're not a MAN yet so I said boy" Fuji explained proudly. "I'm already seven" he replied. "Well that doesn't change the fact that you're still a boy" she said while playing with the Sakura petals. Well she does have a point in someway right?
"Ne did you come alone here?" she asked.
"Yes"
"Ah I envy you; you're allowed to do so while I'm not"
"…"
"Ne, do want to play Mitsu-kun?" Fuji said while pointing to the playground. Tezuka raised his eyebrow with the nickname he was given.
"I'm still reading a book Fuji-san" he replied with his eyes still fixed on the book.
"Let's just put it here"
"Oi!"
Fuji grabbed the book and shoved it in a hole in the trunk of the tree. "There, it won't get lost if it's hid in here" she said. "C'mon let's go" she grabbed Tezuka's hand and ran towards their destination. "Oh and also you can call me Syuu-chan, no need to be so formal" Fuji grinned.
Our little Tezuka blushed. This was the first time a girl held his hand and was befriending him. Most of them will just scamper away once he glared at them but not this girl. Syuu-chan didn't even notice how many times I glared at her, wait? Did I say Syuu-chan? Never thought I would get comfortable around her this easily Tezuka thought.
"Hmm what should we play? Ah! I know let's play on that one" Fuji said as she pointed the seesaw. She ran towards the seesaw while dragging Tezuka.
They played the whole day around the park. Tezuka never knew that beneath this girl who looks very fragile was strong. He saw it with his very own eyes. When some big kids tried to bully Fuji, she fought back and began kicking, pinching and punching. Well since he's a boy he shouldn't leave a girl fighting 4 boys. For the last blow he kicked the boys on their knees. He grabbed Fuji's hand and ran away.
There was also the time when Fuji got bored of the playground and played tricks on some kids. Note to self: never ever cross her he thought.
"Syusuke! It's time to go home!" Yoshiko shouted.
Fuji pulled Tezuka and introduced him to her mother. "Kaa-san! I made a new friend!"
Yoshiko looked at the boy beside her daughter. "Well hello may I know your name?"
"Good afternoon Fuji-san, I'm Tezuka Kunimitsu" Tezuka said and bowed.
"My, such a charming young man if you want to we can take you to your house, it's almost dark and it's not safe for you to go home alone" Yoshiko suggested. "Thank you Fuji-san" Tezuka replied.
After several minutes…
"Is your house this way Tezuka-kun?" Yoshiko pointed to the street. "Hai" he nodded curtly. "Uwaa! It's the same street where our house is" Fuji jumped up and down. "Really?" Tezuka looked at Fuji.
"Yep"
"Ah Fuji-san we're at my house" Tezuka stopped walking. "Uwaa, you're house is really big Mitsu-kun" Fuji's eyes sparkled.
"Ne Tezuka-kun, is your father the president of Tezuka corp.?" Yoshiko asked the bespectacled boy. "Yes ma'am, how did you know?" Tezuka asked. "Well it seems that your family name seems familiar" Yoshiko smiled at him.
"Well I guess this is goodbye for now Tezuka-kun"
But before they could even walk away Tezuka's mother appeared all of a sudden at the gates.
"Mother, why are you here outside" Tezuka asked. "Well, I was just planting some Carnations here" Ayana said. With Fuji still at hearing range, her eyes sparkled. She ran towards the garden and looked at the Carnations.
"Syusuke! Don't just barge in into someone's house!" Yoshiko shouted as she ran after Fuji. "Senpai?" Yoshiko turned around. The voice she just heard seemed familiar. "Ah It's really you senpai! Do you remember me?" Ayana took Yoshiko's hands.
"Ayana?" Yoshiko thought. "You do remember me!" Ayana said.
"Well aren't you lucky. You're a wife of a rich business man" Yoshiko said. Ayana blushed. "W-well how are you and your husband doing" she asked. Yoshiko didn't answer, instead she changed the subject.
"You have a fine young boy as a son" Yoshiko smiled. "Ah thank you" Ayana also smiled. They just watched Fuji and Tezuka as they played around the garden.
After some talking, eating and playing, Fuji and her mother already went home.
"Mother we forgot to go home early for dinner" Fuji stated. Suddenly Yoshiko got alarmed. "Oh no! I didn't make dinner" then she ran.
"Tadaima!" Fuji shouted. "Okaeri" Yumiko smiled.
"Yumiko I forgot to make dinner. What did you eat while we were gone?" Yoshiko asked. "We just ate Ramen. Yuuta isn't picky when it comes to food anyway." Yumiko answered.
"Okay, you three go to sleep now" She commanded. "Yes mother" the three siblings answered.
"Kunimitsu dear go to sleep now" Ayana said. "Yes mother"
Whew! Chapter 1 is finished. I've been itching to write this you know. About their mothers, I just pretended that Yoshiko is older than Ayana okay? If you have any questions just pm me. I also own the grammatical errors here. The next chapter might be short.
Chapter 2 will be – Our Flower Field
OMAKE (no pun intended)
While Tezuka was sleeping soundly, his grandfather entered his room and woke him up. "Kunimitsu" He shook Tezuka.
"What is it Grandfather?"
"Can I take back the book you borrowed from me? I want to read it"
"Ah, which one?"
"The one named Big Bad City"
"Okay"
Tezuka was looking through his shelves but he couldn't find it. Where is it? Then he remembered that Fuji shoved it in the tree hole at the park.
At the park
At the park
At the park
I FORGOT THE BOOK AT THE PARK!
"Well Kunimitsu where is it?"
Tezuka turned around like some person with a stiff neck
