A/N: Hey everyone, so here's something that's been stuck in my head for a while so I decided to write it down. I hope all of you like it. Also, there will be appearances of characters from other animes, Haven't decided yet though. Read and Review. Be nice please!

The other side of me

Chapter 1

My name is Echizen Ryoma and I live a double life. To all of my schoolmates and all of my rivals from other schools, I am Echizen Ryoma, the prince of tennis. I'm a boy with dark-green hair and golden cat-like eyes who was cocky and arrogant just because I could hit a yellow ball to the other side of the net. However, to few other people, I am known as Echizen Ryoma, the son of Takeuchi Rinko, the sole heir to the Takeuchi fortune.

My father is indeed Echizen Nanjiro, also known as Samurai Nanjiro, a former professional tennis player who could have taken over the tennis world, if he hadn't quit. By now, all of my senpai's know the identity of my father, as much as I tried to hide or deny that fact. He's so embarrassing. However, what a lot of people don't know about me is who my mother really is. Her maiden name was Takeuchi Rinko and to the most elite people of the world, the name Takeuchi was renowned. They were a family not to mess with. The Takeuchi family is the second richest family in the world, second only to the Royal family. They are one of the most powerful families in the world. Normally in the upper class, you wouldn't pay much attention to the daughter in the family; it is the son who inherits the fortune and his son after that. However, due to the sudden death of my uncle, who died before bearing children, control of the family's companies and wealth was handed over to my mother.

You may not believe it, but I don't live in a huge mansion. I don't have people to cater to my every whim. I don't have people to cook and clean for me. Actually, scratch that, Nanako-san cooks and cleans up after me all the time, but that doesn't count she's family and she likes doing all that housework junk. I much prefer it this way though. I'd rather not have people know about the other side of my family. It's not that I'm embarrassed or hate the other part of me, it's just that people treat me differently when they find out I'm a Takeuchi. They all kiss my ass and it's annoying as hell, I guess that's why I act so arrogant and cocky now, to everyone who doesn't know me as Takeuchi, they don't let me get away with it and most often than not, they pick a fight.

However, that's not the only thing that people don't know about me. I don't just play tennis. I play many instruments and I'm good at all of them. It doesn't take me long to master an instrument. Some of my favourite instruments to play are the Piano, Guitar, Violin, the Drums, and I also have an amazing voice. Actually, Seguchi Tohma keeps trying to recruit me into his record label. Damn him and his stupid pimp hat and fur coat, he's so damn annoying and persistent, when will he ever get it through his thick blonde skull that I will NEVER and I mean NEVER agree to become an artist. It's not that I don't like singing or music, it's because I don't want to deal with all the fans and the damn Mary-Sues. I barely have a normal life as it is; I'm not going to willingly make it even crazier.

Music isn't the only thing though. Truthfully, I'm a genius. By the age of 12 I earned a university degree and was working on a Masters degree. So why may you ask did I attend middle school when I was already working on my masters? That's simple; it's because of my mother. She said that I'm a loner, that I'm socially retarded (well she said it in a nicer way anyways). She's worried that I'll never have friends and I'll never find a companion at the rate I was going. Which I must admit, was most likely true. That's why she forced me into middle school. That's why I went, besides it's not like I had anything better to do, and my baka oyaji wanted me there to improve my tennis. That's also why I slept in class so much. Why should I pay attention? There were much better ways to spend my time than to listen to some idiot ramble on about things that I already knew.

After I spent about a year at Seigaku, my dad insisted on pulling me out of the school, to go back to America. He entered me into other competitions ever since I played in the U.S. Open. I've played in many competitions since then, such as Wimbeldon, Roland Garros, otherwise known as the French Open for those of you who don't know, and many other Tennis competitions. I won them all. I'm an undefeated Professional Tennis player. I'm also the youngest player to become a pro. It's been three years since then, three years since I left Seigaku and to be honest a life of being at the top is getting quite boring. All of my friends, my old senpai's still don't know my secret, my other life. Do I feel guilty? I've kept it from them for 3 years, maybe slightly; I mean they are my friends right? They do deserve to know the real me.

I guess this brings me to the present. I'm 15 years old now, as I stand in front of Seigaku High, ready to go back to a life of normalcy. Most people would think I'm crazy. I'm the number 1 Tennis Player in the world. I have millions of dollars that are all mine and not the Takeuchi's. I'm known throughout the world. I'm a genius, an amazing athlete, and an amazing artist, although no one really knows about the whole artist thing, sans my family and apparently Seguchi-san, how the hell did he find out anyways? Anyways, I'm getting sidetracked. I'm all that I just mentioned and I'm giving up the fame and fortune, for what? For a normal high school life, hah that's hilarious. I guess this is what happens when you're smart, rich, and bored out of your fucking mind. I've realized one thing though; being at the top is a lonely and boring world.

I've changed since I left for America, my hairs grown longer, and its now just below my chin, with long pieces framing my face. Inui-senpai will be glad to know that his milk diet worked. I now stand at 5 feet 8 inches tall. I could almost imagine him popping up behind me from out of nowhere saying something like 'Ii data data'. The day I noticed I was getting taller was a happy day, although I didn't let anyone else know that I cared about that. Not only my height but also my face has matured, or so Nanako-san and mom tell me. Oyaji makes fun of me because of it. Instead of calling me shounen now, he calls me bishounen. What I wouldn't give to smack that damn smirk off of his perveted face. I guess he's right though, or so Nanako-san says, "I've gotten prettier." Those are her exact words. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think I'm the hottest thing around and that as Monkey-King would say "everyone should be awed by my presence," but I'm not blind. I can see the stares, the looks and the leers from everyone around me. Man or woman, it doesn't matter. They're all the same. I wonder how everyone will react to the new me, the older me.

No one knows that I'm back. I never told a single soul. My mom however was just ecstatic that I'm back here. Again, it's the whole socially retarded loner life thing she's afraid of, but really, she just wants a grandchild. However, this time around I insisted that they upgrade me. If i'm going to be in a place where I already know everything that they're going to teach me, I sure as hell am not going to be in first year. Especially since the two loudmouths should be entering this school by now. I'm sure you know who I mean, Horio, and that other girl, I think her name was Osakada or something like that. I will NOT be stuck in a class with them EVER again! I've had enough people screaming Ryoma-sama Ryoma-sama to me. Someone should really tell that girl to shut the hell up.
