If you want info, ask please.

This is my second attempt on this story. I've decided to rewrite this story into my true style! Hope you guys will stick with me. My OCs are not really carbon copies or 'good-at-every-single-thing' girls. They are just misunderstood people...well not really people... So if they seem like carbon copies, I'm sorry. I just need more time and chapters to fully develop my characters...you guys get me? And I have a tendecy to confuse people. If you are confused...wait a little more for more chapters. I'm sure things will start clearing up. Or just aks me. Well here it is! Rewritten! Strange Girls on the Lookout!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Prince of Tennis characters.

"Did you hear? Did you hear?" A random guy was excitedly telling his friend as they were walking down the hall.

"Yeah. New girls are coming to Seigaku! Seigaku! Of all places! And I heard that they're hot too!" As the other friend finished, he noticed he bumped into someone. A girl. Short. Black hair. About 5 feet or a little more. Cold silver eyes. Glaring at him but keeping posure.

"Watch where you're going...if you know what's good for you..." The short girl pushed past them and kept walking. The guys just stared in pure bewilderment after her.

"...Who was that?..." Just then, another girl came to them.

"Excuse me. Have you seen a short girl-" The guys just pointed to where the girl walked off. The girl who barely came, bowed to thank them and rushed after the girl.

"I think...those were the new girls..." The first friend said. The second friend added, "I think they're already here..."

With the Girls

"Hey Ichiko!" Ichiko turned around and stopped when she saw Kuriko speed walking towards her.

"What's wrong?" Kuriko raised an eyebrow, but ignored her cold tone. Kuriko handed her a piece of paper. Ichiko took it and read its contents.

"Sarani gave me this list of sports to try out while our time here-" Ichiko crumpled up the piece of paper. She dumped it on the floor.

"Don't care." With that, she walked off leaving Kuriko alone. Along with a sigh, Kuriko picked up the piece of paper. 'She'll never change...She'll never forget that accident huh...I hear that that's what happens to people who experienced something like that...' Kuriko stared and read the contents printed on the paper.

Archery
Badmitton
Baseball
Basketball
Boxing
Cheerleading
Cross-Country (running)
Dodgeball
Fencing
Football
Ping-Pong
Racquet Ball
Rugby
Skiing
Soccer
Softball
Tennis
Track/Field
Ultimate Frisbee
Volleyball
Wrestling

All Kuriko was able to do was stare. No wonder Ichiko crumpled it up. The sports were, well, weird. There was no one sport that they would all be comfortable with. Some of the other girls don't even know most of the sports! "What to do...The only options would be to each do a different sport or not do a sport at all...If we all could benefit from-!" A brillant idea struck her. She hurried outside to try to find Sarani.

With Akare and Ayumi

Akare and Ayumi were sitting beneath a tree outside also reading the list of sports handed to them by Sarani.

"I like the idea of soccer and ultimate frisbee, but I hate the idea of fencing and wrestling," stated Ayumi.

"The only sport to complement my tastes is ping-pong and even that's a stretch," mumbled Akare. After a few minutes of staring at the list, Ayumi cried out in frustration.

"Why must we do a sport? Just to get into a good college? We don't need to go to college! I don't even know what a college is! It doesn't make sense to even do a sport! Knowing taichou (captain), she will try to completely avoid this matter. But knowing fukutaichou (vice captain) and Sarani..." Akare nodded wholeheartedly in agreement to what Ayumi said.

"Ohayo Akare-san, Ayumi-san." Both girls looked up at the person who greeted them. Their little Sakuno. Immediately, Akare and Ayumi forgot about their sports problem.

"Ohayo Saku-chan!" Ayumi greeted normally. "Did you decide to do a sport already? Or has Sarani not given you the list yet?" Sakuno nodded at the first part, and she shook her head at the second part.

"I've decided to try out for basketball and tennis!" Sakuno exclaimed. Both Akare and Ayumi were taken ashock. Ichiko will not be happy when she hears this.

"Have you told your sister yet?" Akare asked with caution. Sakuno shook her head.

"I want to tell her yet..." Both girls nodded understandingly. If they were Ichiko's little sister, they also would not tell her they are going to do a sport. Akare sighed and recommened a plan.

"Just go look for the sign-up sheets and sign-up. Tell her it was a recommendation from Kai-taichou. She'll have no choice but to go with it." Sakuno widened her eyes but shook her head. The idea was perfect but...!

"No. I must tell her face-to-face, and I don't want to become like her...I love my onee-sama but..." The girls just stared at her. She had a good point. Believing it or not, their captain was a liar. Sakuno did not want to follow in her footsteps which was a good thing. After listening to Sakuno's quiet declaration, Ayumi stood up and spoke.

"I'll help you look for her, but I won't stay with you. But I will help you find the sign-up sheets." Sakuno nodded, bidded good-bye to Akare, and left with Ayumi. Akare glanced at them as they left. 'Oh Kami. Help that girl out. She needs it.'

The guys: Oishi and Inui

"Inui!" Oishi caught up with Inui as they went into a classroom. Inui turned to him.

"What's wrong, Oishi?"

"Ryuzaki-sensei told me to tell the regulars that we would have to help with the incoming players. Since the girls tennis club do not have a captain to help with the incoming people, we are going to have to help them." Inui sighed at this information.

"That means more work." Oishi nodded relunctantly. Even if it seems a little mean, the concept was the truth. Inui spoke, "I hope this year the girls will get a reliable captain and get us off the duty of helping them." Once again, Oishi nodded. Then, a girl unfamiliar to him came inside the classroom and towards him and Inui since they were the closests(?).

"Um excuse me? Do you know where the sign-up sheets for cross-country, dodgeball, and football are?" The girl who spoke had a fashionable braid and black/purple hair.

"Yes we do." So Oishi gave the girl directions on where to go for each sport. When he was finished, the girl bowed to him.

"Thank you...um..."

"Oishi Syuchirou. 3rd year." He pointed to Inui. "This is Inui Sadaharu. Also a 3rd year. And you, miss?"

"Tamashi." Oishi blinked at the response.

"Um...your fir-"

"Both. My family died of diseases, and I had no other relatives. Since they died when I was 6, I couldn't carry my last name. And because I was soon adopted, I forgot what my last name was. I did not want to take the name of my adoptive parents." Inui and Oishi both stared at her with pity.

"W-we're very-" Tamashi interrupted harshly, "Don't be. I'm used to it. Just don't treat me differently." She immediately left after that statement. Inui spoke after she left and what out of earshot.

"Strange girl. She must have known how we, or should I say, everyone was going to treat her. With pity." All Oishi could do was nod.

The guys: Kawamura, Momoshiro, Kikumaru

"Wow! Look at the sign-up sheet! It has only been morning, and we have already gotten this many sign-ups!" Kikumaru shouted in excitement.

"Eh? Really?" Momoshiro rushed to where Kikumaru was, which was at a table in front of the tennis courts, and took a glance at the sign-up sheet. "You weren't kidding Kikumaru-senpai! There are already-"

"Momoshiro, Kikumaru." Momoshiro and Kikumaru saw Kawamura walking to them with his racket in his hand. In other words, Kawamura had just finished a match.

"Ah! Kawamura-senpai! How was your match?" asked Momoshiro. Kawamura sat in a forgotten chair.

"It was great Momoshiro. Not much of a battle, but it was still fine." When he finished, he took a drink of water from a bottle on the table. Then he spoke again.

"How are the sign-ups going? Are many people signing up?" With those questions, Kikumaru bounced up and down!

"Stupendous! We already have like 20 people signing up! It's so awesome!" Momoshiro nodded as excitedly as his senpai. Kawamura smiled at them.

"I'm glad." Suddenly, he turned to the other side of the courts. Where the girls tennis club practiced. "What about the girls?" At that, Momoshiro and Kikumaru went silent.

"We're not sure but...I don't think it's very good..." Momoshiro finished as he glanced toward the other side of the courts.

"Yeah. They haven't had a reliable captain these past years. Some girls who have been on the club for some time are quitting because of the lack of organization. Girls who have wanted to join heard about the problem and are not joining. They don't even have a full regulars team. It's tough." Kikumaru finished glumly and Kawamura nodded sadly.

"Hello. Are you guys doing the sign-up sheet for the girls tennis club?" They all turned at the voice reflexively. Someone wanted to join the girls tennis club? Well of course they have to welcome her! Two people were staring at them. One was a short girl with auburn hair tied in a long ponytail, and the other was a girl with dark green hair and wore glasses.

"No. The sign-up sheet is over there." Momoshiro pointed to the other side of tennis courts. "Are you both-"

"No," Ayumi interrupted. She pointed to Sakuno. "Just her. Not interested." The guys just stared at her. Ayumi spoke again. "If a short girl with black hair and cold-"

"Ayumi-san! I have to face my sister sometime! Don't lead her away..." Sakuno said the last part in a low whisper. Ayumi just sighed. Trouble was definetly going to arise. Sakuno turned to the guys. "Thanks for the information." Ayumi and Sakuno walked away. The boys had confused looks on their faces.

"W-w-well, that wasn't hard although..." Kawamura finished in a weird way. Kikumaru and Momoshiro were too confused to notice what he said.

With Sarani and Kyoshiko

"Sarani-san? Why do you want us to do a sport? Us, of all...beings!" Kyoshiko exclaimed as they finished giving the lists to the other girls. Sarani didn't immediately answer.

"...I don't...Well...to distract them I guess...For all of us to have met..." Sarani paused, not knowing what to say next. Kyoshiko stared at her with a worried look.

"Sarani-san...?" Just then, she bumped into someone. Kyoshiko unconciously rubbed her forehead. "Oww..."

"I'm sorry." The voice was so...cold and stern that Kyoshiko instantly looked up. She was scared. Not because she thought he looked scary...but because he looked ans sounded like her taichou. Ichiko. Well, not really looking the same. Just their eyes. Their eyes both had the same...coldness in them. 'H-h-h-have I found her twin? Is she...actually male? No! She's not! But... Their coldness is different. Hers are...His's are more to intimidate people. Still...Ugh! Frustrating!'

"Kyoshiko...Kyoshiko!" Kyoshiko woke up startled. Was she really that spaced out? Sarani sighed in relief. Even if he did remind them of Ichiko, it was rude to suddenly space out especially after he apoligized.

"Ah! That's all right! It really didn't hurt! You see...it's just a habit! Ha ha...ha..." Sarani slapped her forehead. Leave it to Kyoshiko to act nervous. But then, she realized that another person was with him. Not wanting to be rude, she turned to him.

"Um...Sorry for ignoring you," Sarani said uncertainly. The other guy shook his head.

"Don't be. I didn't have anything to do with this, so I shouldn't get involved." Sarani nodded unconciously. 'Wait! With what he said, it could also be taken as an insult! A double-way statement!...But it probably wasn't his intention...' Kyoshiko felt the need to leave right there.

She asked carefully, "So um, will you please excuse us...?" The guy with the cold eyes replied first.

"Tezuka. Tezuka Kunimitsu."

"I'm Fuji Shuusuke. Pleased to meet you," his companion replied politely.

"I'm Kyoshiko. And this is Sarani. Nice to have met you. Thank you. Bye!" Sarani let Kyoshiko take her by the arm, and they ran out of the hallways. Only Fuji glanced at them as they sped away.

"Is that their first or last name? I wonder. Why didn't they say both? What do you think Tezuka?" Tezuka evaded the question.

"It's none of our business. We must get going." Fuji shook his head as Tezuka started walking. 'He'll never change...'

Kaidoh and Ryoma: Sleeping under a tree

Ah yes. Having finished a match against each other, the two boys slept under a tree oblivious to the world around them. Until they were waken up noisily.

"Ahhhhhh! Ahhhhhhh! Don't die! Don't die! Please wake up!" Tsunami yelled and coughed as she tried to shaken them awake. Relunctantly, Ryoma opened his eyes. The left eye first.

Annoyed, he asked, "Who are you?" Tsunami was in the middle of yelling "don't die!" when she heard his voice. She hugged him with joy! On the other hand, Ryoma was apalled by her action.

"Um...will you please let go...?" Ryoma trailed off as he realized she was not listening. Also relunctant to have been woken up, Kaidoh looked at the scence next to him.

"Echizen, is that your girlfriend?" Ryoma looked as apathetically as ever, but Tsunami was panicking...which was not good...She did not want to get the little boy in trouble!

"Agh-*cough, cough* I'm so-*cough, cough, cough*-" Both Ryoma and Kaidoh were alert. What was wrong with this girl? She reached for something in her pockets, but she couldn't find it which caused her to panick more. Luckily, having been trained in health, they both knew what she was trying to find. Both guys looked around the area, looking for something out of place. A few steps away Ryoma found it. He rushed over to it and back and quickly handed it to her. Tsunami took it and breathed in it. After a few more claming breaths, she stopped.

"Ahhhhh, thank goodness! Thank you very much!" She bowed deeply to Ryoma and Kaidoh. Ryoma and Kaidoh mumbled "It's nothing."

Kaidoh asked, "Do you have...asthma?" Tsunami shook her head.

"No. The disease I have is much worse than asthma. This inhaler I use is much more advanced than a regular one for the people who have asthma. If I had asthma, I wouldn't have coughed that much." Both guys looked at each other, then back at her.

"So...If you're not asthmetic, then what are you?" Ryoma asked normally. Tsunami smiled sweetly at him.

"That's a secret, but maybe someday you'll know. Thanks for your help. I'll pay you guys back somehow." She turned to Ryoma. "I'm sorry for hugging you. I was happy you were not dead. I hope you forgive me."

Ryoma answered calmly, "It's no problem."

Tsunami smiled with relief. "Thank you!" Once again, she bowed to them. "Bye-bye!" With that bye-bye, Tsunami left the guys to their own devices.

"Echizen..." Ryoma nodded.

"Yeah."

So? How was it? So much mystery, even for me! Hope you guys like it. Oh, and the sports list I obviously made up. So this is pretty much the thing. They are not all going to start playing tennis. Only two or three of them. Then over the course of the year, all the girls will be joining. They will still get interactions with the guys, don't worry. But it won't be in the tennis courts until much later. I haven't decided when yet. But I am planning to stick with this story as much as possible! If you guys think I went too fast, tell me so I can fix that problem. And I will post the girl's info later. So who's with me 'till the end of the tale?
