Author's Note: (please READ THIS so you don't get confused.) Okay here's the deal. I'm following the Japanese series, so I hope there's no confusion. This is placed after Ryoma Echizen had made the list of regulars during the 1st season. And I play tennis so don't worry about game rules. I know 'em.

Note, Tezuka is the main character in this fic. I LOVE HIM. Hehehe.

I am trying a sort of new method of writing okay? So bear with me if you get confused - just PM me.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Prince of Tennis (Tennis no Oujisama). Although I wish I did.
"Tezuka!"

The Seigaku captain turned around to face a smiling Fuji.

"What?" He asked sternly.

"We need new tennis balls. These ones are getting quite beaten up."

"Hn." Tezuka mumbled as he went off to fetch the balls out from storage.

As he walked down the cemented path observing the team, he never saw what was coming.

Chapter 1 – The Fateful Day

'BAM'

What the hell...

Something just hit my chest – I glanced up to see that that something was…a girl?

How troublesome…I'm going to get ravage by screams. How wonderful.

I walked away from her, but before I could continue my stroll to the storage room she got up and patted my arm.

"Oh my. I'm sorry." She quietly said.

I flinched at the pain.

Damned injuries aren't suppose to hurt.

"Eh?! Did that hurt?! Sorry?!" she said in a bit of a panicked tone.

"It's nothing." I said looking at her.

Must be a new student.

"Are you sure?" She quietly spoke up poking my arm curiously while circling around me using her rollerblades.

"Yeah." I shook myself from the daze and continued walking past her.

"Bye." I heard her shout out as the wind behind me picked up. I looked back to catch a last glimpse of the green eyed girl but she had already dissapeared.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Fuji." Tezuka called out holding a crate full of fresh bright green balls.

"Ah. The smell of plastic; don't you just love it?" Fuji asked Tezuka sarcastically.

"I'm used to it."

"So am I...So am I" Fuji mumbled on.

"Hn." Tekuza turned around to monitor the training status of Seigaku's tennis program.

He stood there with his arms crossed for a few minutes before he was disturbed once more.

"Ah. How's the progress Kunimitsu?"

He turned around to meet the old granny.

"Ryuzaki-sensei." He greeted her like a soldier.

"Don't tense up, you'll scare the new member."

"New member?!" shouted out the regulars – with the exception of Ryoma of course still hitting the ball to his opponent who's mind was quite occupied with a totally different matter.

"Yes. She's from Canada."

"She? Canada? What else?" asked Eiji excited.

"Well she's half Vietnamese and Japanese, and she's here because her parents just divorced. Pretty much all I know."

"Is she nice?" Fuji asked with his famous smile plastered on to his face.

"You'll see boys."

"Where is she exactly?" questioned Momo impatiently.

"She's putting away her belongings into her locker."

"Oh." They all huffed out.

"Is she any good at tennis?" Ryoma quietly asked through the silence looming over the players.

Everybody on court had a half surprised face and fell down anime style. (AN: anyone have a better way to say that?)

"Yeah. He's right. Is she joining because she can play tennis?" asked Oishi curiously.

"All will be revealed when she shows up." Ryuzaki plainly stated grinning.

"PSssssffftt." Kaidoh hissed out. "Girls are no match for the strength of men."

"Don't be so sure of that." Inui commented nudging his glasses taking out his data book getting ready to scribe information.

They all waited in silence until –

"Aiiieeee!!! I'm so sorry!" a high pitched voice yelled out.

The regulars all turned their heads to look at their new brown haired member.

Tezuka went wide-eyed but was un-noticed by the other members who were busy staring at her.

It's the girl from before...

"So sorry!" she said once more bowing to the group of guys.

"Ah. Please introduce yourself Akira."

"Right. Hi, my name's Akira Nguyen. Um…I'm 15 years old. And well I guess you've been told that I'll be the personal health manager for the team." She said softly smiling.

TBC

Dum dum dum…I know that was short, but all introductions are short lived no?

Okay I'm writing this fic 'cause I got it from a dream…I get a lot of ideas from dreams…whoa…lol. Anyways, review if you wish, it is praised. But I'm going to finish this story whether people like it or not.

Don't worry, all ambiguous facts about Akira will be revealed in the next chapter.
