Chapter 1: Kage arrives

She hoped that Eiji was feeling better. She had to lead her team to victory since the previous tournament she played with her team in, which had ended a few days ago, had been the last tournament she would participate in with her team. Ever since she had talked to her Aunt and Uncle, she had wanted to meet her cousin badly.

When she had called him the next day but had talked to Fuji, she trusted that Eiji was feeling better. She could still remember the conversation she had with him.

Flashback

She heard the ring of her cousin's phone, wondering why he wasn't picking it up. Usually, he picked it up within the first ring. Hearing the ring stop, she knew the phone had been picked up.

"Eiji" she said in her soft voice, expecting Eiji to have picked up the phone.

"Nope, Eiji is a little busy little Kage-chan" she heard Fuji's voice say then chuckle.

"Fuji?" she asked, surprised that it was the 'Tensai' who had picked up the phone rather than her cousin

She heard him hum, then reply, "Yep. And I told you not to call me Fuji. Call me Syuusuke, ne Kage-chan."

She sighed "And I told you about calling me that. Why do you insist on calling me your little Kage-chan or just Kage-chan anyways. It's weird."

She heard him chuckle again before replying, "I think it is cute!"

"You would, wouldn't you." She sighed again, knowing that the smile on Fuji's lips must have widened. She shook her head softly before continuing "Anyways where is that cousin of mine. I wanted to tell him that I am coming down for a visit. My aunt and uncle had expressed their worry for Eiji. They say he has been gloomy lately, though he has tried to hide it."

"Saa...I see. Yes, Eiji has been down lately, but not to worry. He won't be for long." she heard him reply

"If you say so, Fu..." She heard a cough from Fuji which made her halt in speaking and with a resigned sigh, she decided to continue. "Syuusuke. Well tell Eiji that I will be down there in two weeks. I have to go though. Ja." she finished seeing the Vice-captain of her team, Sako Fujikawa, standing in front of her, waiting for her call to end.

"Aa. I will tell him, Kage-chan. Ja ne." with that said, she heard the call end, and flipped her phone closed.

Finally, looking at Sako, she nodded and they both made their way to practice.

Flashback ends

She shook her head at the memories; she was happy that her cousin had got together with the one he liked, and she also knew that her cousin like a boy not a girl. She didn't mind it really; she just wanted her precious cousin to be happy.

But when she had recieved a call from Fuji, she found out that someone who liked Ryoma Echizen, Eiji's boyfriend, and didn't want them both to be together was ruining the work Eiji had spent a lot of time getting done, she was very angry. She knew why Eiji didn't tell her about this; he didn't want her to worry.

On that day itself, she had talked to her family as well as her cousin's family and decided that she would be studying at Seigaku now. She would finish her graduation there, and maybe, spend some time with her cousin and old friends, the Seigaku regulars. She would never say it aloud, but she missed them. After all, there were very less peple in the Girl's tennis team who could even ace her once. The boys, on the other hand, were amazing players and really made her try her hardest, especially the Captain, Tezuka and the Tensai, Fuji. They were the ones she had the most fun playing against.

She had played each and every one of Eiji's friends and even though, she had not managed to defeat quite a few of them, she did have a lot of fun with them, much more than with any girl she played.

She sighed, ignoring the looks she was getting from the boys who were travelling on the same train as her. It irritated her that even though they didn't know her, they were still looking her over like dogs looking at a bone, with hunger. She was glad that she was getting closer to reaching her destination, and she would finally be away from these scavengers.

Finally reaching her destination, she stepped off the train and stepped out of the station calmly, her tennis bag on her shoulder and a smaller clothes bag in the other hand. Once she was out of the station, she walked over to the machine nearby and inserted a coin in the coin slot. Taking the Ponta, she set her clothes bag down next to her and opened it.

Taking out her cell phone, she flipped it open and dailled Eiji's number, wanting to ask him where he was. She wanted to see them all again. She also wanted to meet this Ryoma Echizen, who her precious cousin seemed to like so much.

She took a few sips of her Ponta as the ring went through. She heard the phone being picked up and Eiji's voice say, "Hello?" Seeing as he sounded slightly depressed, Kagome decided to keep the talk short; she wanted to meet her brother, make him smile and make sure that he was his cheerful self again. The one who did this to her precious cousin was going to PAY

Quickly asking him where he and the others were, she mentally took note of the voices behind him, though quiet. Finally when he told her that they were at the Street courts, she replied that she's be there in ten minutes. They bid 'Bye' to each other and Kage finished off her Ponta, then threw the can into a nearby trash bin.

She hailed a taxi and made her way towards the Street Ciourts where her cousin and the others were. She knew Fuji would be there; she had to talk to the sadist about something, she smirked and looked out of the window of the Taxi, already having thoughts about how to make the person who was troubling Eiji pay.

About ten minutes later she reached the street tennis courts, got off of the Taxi with her bags, paid the driver and turned towards the courts. Entering said courts, she looked around for her brother and the others, smiling a rare soft smile upon spotting them with three other boys, she didn't know.

Walking over to them she stopped when she was a few steps away from them. Letting go of her clothes bag, so that it fell to the ground with an almost inaudible 'Thud', she crossed her arms across her clothed yet well developed chest.

Clearing her throat to get their attention, she smirked when they looked at her and their eyes widened in surprise. "Hey guys. I'm back..." she said, smirking at their shocked faces. she knew they were shocked, not because of seeing her there, but because of how much she had grown in the five years since they had seen her.

As for the regulars, they couldn't believe she had become so beautiful since the time five years ago when they had last seen her. They could still remember the small girl, almost a foot shorter than them all, wearing black shorts and a T-shirt with a black side-facing cap on her head. She used to look so cute all those years ago. But now, they all had their eyes widened in surprise, even Tezuka's eyes were slightly widened and Fuji's eyes had snapped open at the sight of the fifteen year old female.

She seemed to have grown in height to almost their own height, maybe a couple of inches shorter than Ryoma, who was an inch shorter than most of them. She had developed curves in all the right places and was wearing a pair of black jeans and a white halter-neck top. She was still wearing the black cap she would wear when they were younger, but it looked more feminine now. Her feet were covered with white zip-up boots with three inch heels. Her blue-hued raven black hair had grown from its length to her shoulders five years ago to past her hips, and that was when it was tied into a high ponytail at the top of her head. So if left down it would reach past mid-thigh they were sure. Her complexion was still as lightly tanned as it had been before, yet she looked even more beautiful. She was wearing a slim white bracelet watch on her left wrist- the same one they all had pitched in to give her when she was leaving to go back to her home all those years ago. Her eyes that had always seemed to appear a midnight blue, now seemed to have softened to a soft sapphire blue.

As they all stood shocked, Eiji bounced over to his favourite cousin saying, "Kage-chan, Kage-chan, nya!!! I missed you sooo much." He glomped her as soon as he reached her making Ryoma slightly jealous, seeing as his Eiji was being so affectionate with a girl he didn't know.

As Kage smiled and hugged the acrobat back, Ryoma's jealousy increased as he started glaring at her hugged for a little while before Kage gently bonked the acrobat on the head, making Ryoma's glare intesify slightly.

Eiji put his hand on his head and whined softly, "Why did you do that, Kage-chan, nya?"

Kage placed her hands on her hips, as she looked at him with a slightly stern look. "Why didn't you tell me that you were being bothered by some girl?" Seeing him look at the ground guiltily, she sighed and gently placed her hand on his cheek. Eiji looked at his Kage-chan and smiled apologetically, seeing her soft look. Kage sighed before continuing, "I know you don't want me to worry, Eiji but i'm your cousin, aren't i?" At her question, Ryoma's glare and jealousy died out and he could vaguely see why Eiji seemed to love this Kage-chan so much.

At his nod, she smiled softly at him and replied, "Even if you wouldn't have told me" she glared at him llightly, "at least, someone from the team would have told me. I'm glad that Fu.." she stopped herself as the soft clearing of a throat reached her ears. Sighing, she briefly glanced at the smiling tensai, before loooking back at her cousin. "Syuusuke told me about it, otherwise i would have never come to know about what you've been suffering through."

She glanced thankfully at the 'Tensai' whose smile widened slightly, as he opened his eyes to look at the raven-haired girl with a soft, welcoming look, his affections for her rekindling. He glanced sideways at their former captain and his smile widened, seeing the small almost invisible smile on his usually stoic face. He could already see that Tezuka's feelings for their Kage-chan were rekindling. He caught the stoic captain's eyes and thought to himself, 'Aaa... Maybe, now is the chance for us to get her to fall for either one or else both of us.'

Closing his eyes, he faced Kage again as she continued talking to Eiji. Feeling that the cousins had had enough time for themselves, he stepped over to stand behind the raven-haired girl and gently wrapped his arms around her. Kage's eyes widened slightly before she relaxed and leaned against the tensai.

"Welcome back, Kage-chan." Fuji said, gently nuzzling his nose against her cheek. She smiled and faced a bit towards him, so that her temple connected with his forehead. Soon enough, she was pulled out of the tensai's arms and into each and every other former third year's arms instead, first Taka-san, then a short hug from Inui, and then Oishi, each one of them wecoming her back.

Turning to where Tezuka was standing a few feet to her right, Kage gently untangled herself from Oishi and walked over to the stoic Captain. Smiling, she said, "I'm back, Mitsu-kun"

The nick-name, which Kage had given him all those years ago couldn't keep his smile from his face as he gently pulled the younger girl into his arms for a hug, saying to her softly, "Welcome back, Kagome-chan"

Once they had pulled back, Kagome looked at the three boys she didn't know before looking at the others questioningly. A few minutes later, intoductions were passed and Kagome was standing in front of Ryoma looking at him with an eyebrow raised. She circled him and said, "Not bad, Eiji." she looked at Eiji, who blushed softly, before turning back to the hazel-eyed prince.

"I have a feeling we're gonna get along quite well, Ryoma-kun" she said, holding out her hand for Ryoma to shake. He looked at it for a second before smiling a small smile. "Kagome Higurashi, Eiji's cousin. You can call me Kagome, like Mitsu-kun, or Kage, like for some reason unknown to me, Syuusuke calls me."

She smirked, hearing Fuji say from behind her, "It's cute, Kage-chan. and it suits you."

"If i'm right, i'll be in your class. I will also be asking Coach Ryuuzaki if i can be the Assistant Coach and Manager of your team. So if she agrees, please treat me well." she said bowing slightly.

Ryoma smiled a small smile and thought to himself, 'Yup, i'm sure we'll get along just fne, Kagome-chan'

Remebering that she had talk to Fuji about something, Kagome, or Kage, turned to the tensai before walking oer to him, "I need to have a word with you, Syuusuke." she made sure to call him by his first name, not last name.

Fuji raised an eyebrow but nodded all the same. Looking at the others, Kagome said, "I want to talk to him in private, so i'll meet you guys tomorrow, and Eiji, i'll meet you at home, k? Could you take my bag home, please?"

They all looked at each other, wondering what it was that Kagome wanted to talk to Fuji about, and that too shrugged, deciding that they'll find out the next day anyway, so they bid good-bye to the two of them and left toward their homes. Before Eiji left, he picked up Kagome's clothes bag and turned to the 'Tensai', "Take care of Kage-chan for me, k, Fujiko?" he told him seriously.

Fuji's eyes opened revealing his aqua orbs, as he gazed seriously at his best friend, "Aaa... Don't worry about Kage-chan, Eiji. I won't let anything happen to her." he said looking at the red-haired acrobat who listened to him, then nodded knowing that Fuji will take care of his Kage-chan, if anything happens.

Bidding each other good-bye, Eiji and Ryoma, who had been waiting for his boyfriend to finish whatever he had to talk about, dispersed as Kagome walked next to Fuji towards a nearby cafe, so that they could talk.
