1 - King Atobe Gets Slapped

Well, it wasn't that bad knowing Atobe. He had been a cocky kid since he was young, in England. As for me, as to why I was in England, was because my Aunt had some ends to tie in Japan that would take some time, and so she sent me to her friend's in England. That was when I met Atobe. I call him Kei-chan, and he gets annoyed all the time. Just like Gen-chan.

Before I left for America, I was watching Sei-chan play tennis, and therefore had already started on learning tennis. I was on my way of making my first own move, Haru no Chou (Spring Butterflies) when I first met Atobe.

It happened like that.

I was in the backyard to my aunt's friend's house, quietly playing to myself when a little boy climbed over the fence.

" Who are you?" I asked.

" Shh! Shut up!" he brushed me off, and went to hide under the bushes.

Curious, I followed suit.

" Why are you hiding?" I asked excited.

" None of your business right?" he asked.

" But I'm curious..." I said.

" Fine. I'm hiding from- Shh!" he abruptly said and pushed my head down onto the soft garden grass.

Then, a large foot found its way to the front of the bushes, and the owner of the feet brushed the bushes, in a failed attempt at looking for the boy beside me.

" Young Master Keigo!" they called.

" Over there! I think I saw him!" another called.

Soon, they left, and we emerged from the bushes.

" So you're called Keigo..." I said, " I shall call you Kei-chan." I smiled, " Nice to meet you, I'm Yukiko Melody Mikoshiba (my original family name was Mikoshiba)." I put out my hand.

" Keigo Atobe." he replied shaking my hand.

That was how we met.

We went on growing up together for about three months, playing tennis together, making random promises to each other, often playing in the huge garden of his running around, irritating each other. It was pure childhood fun.

Also, there were time when I helped hid him from his bodyguards, and mislead them in the wrong direction so that I could have some time to play with my new friend.

In my memories, though he was an egoistic boy, he cared for me when I was injured. I fell during one of the random chases we had, and scraped my knee badly. He came back for me, even though I had been the one that irritated him first, and he piggybacked me all the way to the nurses office of his mansion. After I got patched up, he even gave me sweets to cheer me up. Though most of the time he was mean and egoistic.

I totally did not expect us to meet at the Kantou Regionals again...

I had been training with Syuusuke nii-chan in preparation of the match with Hyoutei, and of course it left certain after effects. Because of the extra training, Tezuka bu-chou ordered us, the girls to wear guards.

" KATSUN WA HYOUTEI, MAKERU NO SEIGAKU!" the fan club screamed at the top of their lungs.

" KATSUN NO WA-"

There was a snap of fingers from the sliver haired boy in the court, and everyone went quiet.

" Ore da." he replied and threw his coat to his teammate at the back.

" K-K-Kei-chan...?" I gasped softly.

After his match with Tezuka bu-chou, I was so shocked that his tennis improved that much over such a short span of time. He even defeated our undefeated Captain Tezuka, causing him to be severely injured.

It had just been a day since Tezuka bu-chou was injured, and it was a holiday for us. After visiting Tezuka, Syuusuke nii-chan went to Kikumaru-senpai's house to finish up on their project, leaving me all alone.

I decided to go out for a while, to look for Kei-chan. I was sure he had become the Tennis Club Captain of Hyoutei Chuu Gakuen. Taking the bus, I got off at Hyoutei.

Passing off as one of the visitors, I found the tennis team and their horde of fangirls celebrating together at the ballroom of the school, near the tennis courts.

" May I speak to Captain Atobe?" I asked one of the fan girls.

" Of course! Just queue there." she said and pointed me to an extremely long line of fan girls waiting just to tell Atobe that he had played the match well.

" Any faster way?" I asked.

" I'm afraid no." she brushed me off.

I waited until all the fangirls were gone, and all that was left was the Hyoutei Regulars and their coach behind the curtains. Walking right up to Atobe, I pretended to be one of his fangirls.

" Oh my, you waited that long, my honey?" he asked, and came so close to me.

" Captain, there's somemore?" Yuuishi asked.

" Bu-chou is Atobe-sama after all~" Choutaro said.

He was wearing a black tuxedo, with a blue ribbon at his collar, red flowers at his chest, and his hair seemed freshly done. Indeed, he was egoistic.

" Atobe-sama..." I said.

" Yes my honey? Please say whatever you want to say to the great me." he said.

" Okay..." I replied, and slapped him across the face.

*smack*

Cupping his cheek, he glared the thorns at me, and the entire Hyoutei team gathered around him.

Tears poured down my face.

" ...Y-You went too far, Kei-chan..." I cried, covering my mouth with my hands.

" Y-Yukiko...?" he asked.

" Bu-chou? You know her?" Gakuto asked.

" Yeah. A childhood friend." he replied, and moved forward to hug me.

Pushing him away, I said, " I'm glad that your tennis has improved so much. But you went to far. Much to far. All the way to injuring Tezuka bu-chou's arm... He might never be able to play tennis again..." I ranted at Atobe.

" Well, its for the sake of winning..." he seemed to be sorry.

" Forget it. See ya, Kei-chan." I said and left the ballroom.

" Atobe, are you sure that that feisty woman is your childhood friend?" Shishido asked, skeptical.

" Yeah... She was irritating... We had a love-hate relationship." he mutter under his breath.

" What did you say?" Hiyoshi asked, not catching what his Captain had said under the classical music played in the ballroom.

" Nothing much. Don't breathe a word about today, or you'll be dropped off the regulars." Atobe told them.

" Eh?" the team asked.

It seems as though Atobe really thought a lot about the the girl. If not he would not even bother. Or maybe he was just bothered by the fact that he had been slapped by a girl.

Alya: Wai! Did you enjoy it? How cute young Atobe was? ^^

Atobe: You made that girl slap me?

Alya: * cowers in fear *

Melody: Felt nice slapping you~

Team Hyoutei + Fangirls: Stares the thorns at Melody.

Alya: Gomen gomen, Melody... TT^TT

Melody: Its alright, Alya-chan this is nothing compared to the fan girls in Seigaku...

Alya: Reviews please! ^^
