Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Prince of Tennis, Takeshi Konomi does. I don't even live in Japan so how can I own them. Even if I do live in Japan I would only do doujinshis and shop for anime items. The only thing here that I own is the plot and nothing else.

Warning: Umm, maybe some shounen-ai and of course, who would want to forget to warn them about my crappy ideas for this story. I'm an amateur and its my first so please forgive me. I also want to warn all of you about my grammatical errors. If someone has a nosebleed please tell me.

Author's note: Um, yeah, this is my first. I just recently finished watching the OVA or OAV and I really hated the fact that the Child of God lost to a Prince. I recently started reading the sequel for Prince of Tennis entitled the Shin Tenisu no Oujisama in english, New Prince of Tennis. But I assure you nothings really new, the old teams are still there and the pretty tennis boys are still there. Umm, yeah, so please do review, reviews are important to me. If you read my story please review. Tell me anything you want. Even if the review is only short, just review. T.T

Chapter 1:

"One can never understand the sweet taste of victory without knowing the bitter taste of defeat."

Sanada Genichirou, vice captain of Rikkai Dai Fuzokuchuu Tennis Club, cannot believe that their captain, Yukimura Seiichi lost to that freshman. He didn't feel anger towards Yukimura for losing this important match, it was that he felt worried for their captain. Yukimura, had only gone out of the hospital. He just got cured from Guillan-Barre Syndrome that prevents him from playing tennis. Yukimura, had even gone to extreme measures just to cure himself and participate in the Nationals. He did everything he could so that they can reach the Finals.

However, Yukimura lost the first and last match he had participated in the finals so that made Sanada worried, a lot.

You could say that Rikkai Dai's captain was unpredictable if you knew him well and even if you don't know him that his match with Echizen, one can observe that he was quickly losing his patience when he dropped a game. The captain became agitated and when the match had finished the blue-haired captain was smiling as he shook hands with Echizen telling the freshman that he wanted to play 'fun' tennis with him someday.

If another person had said those words, they would appear sarcastic , however the captain's words possessed no hint of sarcasm at all, it was full of innocence and honesty and that was why the fuku-buchou was worried, especially when the blue-haired captain went to them and apologized to them for losing.

Sanada was really worried because the word 'losing' was not in Yukimura's vocabulary. Yukimura did not know the feeling of losing before, it was the first time that Yukimura had lost a match and he did not know what their captain was thinking, and what their captain would do.

Sanada was also aware that his teammates were also worried about the captain, the regulars seemed more worried about their captain than their defeat in the Nationals. Their captain had just went out of the hospital and had played his first match in the Nationlas with Echizen. During the other matches, their captain would only sit down and watch them play.

--------------------------------------------Flashback-----------------------------------------------

Even during the semi-finals in the Nationals, they only told the captain that all he would do was sit down and watch as they win the match, insisting on making their captain rest. Yukimura only smiled during that time, the hurt he felt evident in his eyes, however this went unnoticed because of the smile he gave them. He felt that his team was casting him away because he was sick and that they were telling him they can win without him.

Yukimura knew that they haven't meant that meaning to come into his mind, however, he did not like his team to become stronger that they won't need him anymore and so he let them play against Nagoya Seitoku, not caring that Akaya was hurt or that Akaya transformed into some kind of a devil. His mind was too occupied with thoughts about life without tennis and thoughts about the Rikkai Tennis Club without him.

-------------------------------------------End Flashback-----------------------------------------

Yukimura then smiled at Sanada and took th towel that was being offered to him, he laughed when the others told him that they didn't care about their loss anymore. He then smiled and thanked them for their kindness.

Yukimura looked around as he smiled to himself, as he had expected almost all of the schools that Seigaku had defeated are present and by the looks of it, all of them were happy that Rikkai Dai had lost. All of them hoped that Yukimura, the infamous Child of God would lost to the freshman so that he could feel the shame that they had felt.

"Yukimura" Sanada said as he saw the blue-haired captain scan the bleachers.

Upon hearing his name called by Sanada, Yukimura quickly looked at his best friend.

"Do you want me to...?" Sanada asked not continuing the sentence for he knew that Yukimura knew what he wanted to say.

Yukimura smiled at this and nodded his head.

"Arigato, Sanada." Yukimura said as he smiled.

During the awarding ceremony, instead of the Captain of Rikkai, the Fuku-Buchou was the one who received the award for being second in place. Some assumed that the captain was to embarassed to receive the award.

That night, Sanada couldn't sleep and decided tocalm himself by drinking a cup of tea. Just as he was going to sit down, the door bell rang.

Sanada stood up and wondered. "Who could be here at this time?" He thought as he looked at the time.

He opened the door and what he saw was not what he had expected.

"Mailman here, Special delivery!!" The mailman, who was in fact Inui said as he handed a package to Sanada.

Inui apparently, wanted to gather data on the Rikkai team to see what their reaction was towards their defeat in the Nationals today.

"Please sign here." Inui said handing Sanada a clip board.

Sanada then signed the paper, unaware that the man in front of him was Inui.

The mailman then left thankful for Sanada's cooperation.

Just as Sanada closed the door, Inui then removed his costume as he took out his notebook from his pocket mumbling data,data over and over again.
