Hi there! I'm Shay. Okay, I want to start so I'll just leave notes here.
For the moment, Mikan will be Mikan Fuji. As In Fuji's little sister. They have a gap of 2 years so in clearer voice, Ryoma Echizen and Mikan are both freshmen. (Note: Mikan will replace Yuuta Fuji here. So he will not exist in this story. Sorry xD)
As the summary says, Mikan is a duplicate of Fuji with a much better skill. Mikan was trained and tutored at home by Fuji and some tutor they hired. Most of the moves are tutored by him and the rest are self-learned by Mikan.
Fuji and Mikan are both alices. So is Ryoma, Tezuka, Oishi, Kikumaru, Kawamura, Inui, Momoshiro and Kaidoh. Fuji has the Wind Alice, Mikan has S.E.C, Ryoma has the Ice Alice, Tezuka has the Lightning alice, Oishi has the Telepathy, Kikumaru has the Speed Alice, Kawamura has the Multi-personality alice, Inui has the Mind Reading, Momoshiro has the Jump Alice and Kaido has the Shape-shifting alice. (Note: They don't use their alices when they are in practices or tournaments. Nobody is a cheater.)
Princess of Tennis: Prologue
A 7 year old Mikan Fuji watched as her big brother Syusuke Fuji played with a racket and a ball. She watched as Fuji started hitting it with such grace. Mikan's eyes grew wide as she saw them laughing and enjoying. Completely enjoying herself, she watched until her Onii-chan finished.
"Onii-chan!!" Mikan shouted then ran over to her big brother who just finished playing Tennis.
"Mikan-chan! I thought you'd be home because you have homework to finish and you can't go outside?" Fuji patted his little sister's head then smiled.
"Onee-chan bought me here. She says that Onii-chan is good at Tennis! Is that true Onii-chan??" Mikan asked as she started jumping in her place smiling widely. Fuji laughed then nodded.
"Sugoi! Can you teach me how to play? I have nothing to do at home! It's so boring without Onii-chan!!" Mikan pouted as she crossed her little arms over her chest.
"Alright, Mikan-chan. Let's start shall we? Here take my other racket. Hold it like this," Fuji demonstrated on how to grip the racket properly, grabbed a basket full of tennis balls then finally led Mikan to one of the courts.
"Now, hold the ball and toss it straight in the air then quickly hit it with the racket," Mikan did what Fuji told her to do but failed in her first try.
"Onii-chan, the ball is heavy." Mikan stated as she stretched her arms.
"It's okay, Mikan-chan. Do it like this," He threw the ball in the air then hit it with his racket, simply doing an overhand serve. Mikan stared in awe as the ball flew towards the other side of the court. She observed as the ball flew without touching the net then became serious and held her racket tightly in her hands.
Mikan grabbed a ball, tossed it into the air and then hit it like Fuji did. Fuji stared at her little sister's doing then softly giggled.
"Yay! I did it Onii-chan!" Mikan cheered as she hugged her brother. Fuji returned it then said,
"You want to play more? We'll have practices after I get home from school everyday if you want?" Fuji held her hand in his as he led her to the bench to sit down.
"Hai! But I want to play more today, Onii-chan! Then tomorrow and the rest of the days! I want to become like Onii-chan!" Mikan exclaimed as she swung her feet.
"Okay, how about we start now? I'll let you borrow my books about tennis so you could study the basics of it," Mikan grinned then nodded as she grabbed her new racket then started doing what she did before.
"I may have to practice a bit more if I want Mikan-chan to be a tennis player like me. Good thing there's a Tennis Club at school," Fuji muttered as he grabbed his own racket then walked over to Mikan.
2 years later…
After 2 years, Mikan has been practicing everyday with Fuji. She memorized the basics and read books all about tennis. Every week she would go with Fuji to practice in a random tennis court or if she had free time and her homework from her tutor was done, she would read the books in Fuji's room and study more about tennis and its history. But one thing is that she was teaching herself a new move and after a lot of practice she finally learned how to do it.
"Onii-chan!! Can we play? I have a move to show you," Mikan said while slowly opening the door of Fuji's room.
"Is your home schooling done?" Fuji asked as he grabbed his racket and a few tennis balls.
"Hai! It just finished."
"Then we'll play," Fuji smiled then went to the back yard.
"So what move is it?" He asked Mikan rather questioningly.
"I'm not sure but I think it's called Tsubame Gaeshi," Mikan said, warming up. Fuji was done and decided to demonstrate.
"Like this?" Fuji tossed the ball up in the air then hit it, putting a spin on the ball by letting it slide along the racket. He added a spin then applied a super slicing motion. The ball looked like it was rolling but instead it was still on the air due to the strong impact.
"Oh man! I wasn't expecting that you can do that! Darn, you're good Onii-chan!" Mikan pouted then glanced at her smiling big brother.
"Now you do it," Fuji stepped back to let her take a shot. Mikan tossed the ball up into the air and did the same as Fuji did but with less control.
"You can do it fine but I think I need to teach you how to control the ball. Do you have some spare cans? Oh and don't worry I'll teach you all of my moves during this summer. I've got to do some work now Mikan-chan, I'll see you later." Fuji said as he waved good bye to his sister then walked off.
'Amazing! I have some spare time so I guess I'll just watch some tournaments at the T.V,' Mikan thought as she sped off.
Mikan was watching a random tournament over at some school. She observed as the players did their own thing but something caught her eye.
"And now it's Keiichi Takahashi's twist serve!" The T.V broadcasted. Mikan watched intently as Keiichi Takahashi did this so called 'twist serve'. Mikan was amazed at how the ball bounced right at the face of Keiichi's opponent.
"I am so gonna study and learn this move!" Mikan exclaimed as she rushed over to Fuji's room to do a little research about the twist serve.
4 years later…
A now 13 year old Mikan Fuji was roaming around the house finding something to eat.
"Mikan-chan can we talk?" Yumiko her older sister asked her. Mikan nodded then went with her Onee-chan.
"What do you want to talk about Onee-chan??" Mikan asked as she sat down on a nearby chair.
"Mikan-chan I know we've been keeping you from the outside and been home schooling you for as long as you can remember. And I'm sorry about that," Yumiko said as she shook her head gently.
"It's alright, I'm used to it Onee-chan!"
"If you say so but I think it's time for us to let you meet kids your own age. I know your knowledge is advance but it's appropriate," Yumiko explained…
"So you mean..?" Yumiko nodded at this.
"I'm going to the same high school as Onii-chan??!!" Mikan screamed.
"Yes, you are! But don't tell this to Syusuke, alright?"
"Why?"
"Let's surprise him alright?" Yumiko said as she stood up.
"When do I start?" Mikan asked her sister.
"Next Week…" Yumiko left then.
Mikan dashed back to her room then jumped over her bed filled with joy and excitement. She always wanted to join the Girl's Tennis Club on Seishun Gakuen. And she could finally see her Onii-chan play as a regular.
In the past four years, Mikan has learned a lot of thins including controlling the ball and as promised by Fuji, she learned every single trick that her brother does like the Cut Serve, Higuma Otoshi and Hakugei. She also mastered how to do the Twist serve and Tsubame Gaeshi. She learned and mastered the Twist Serve just in the four years of practicing it. She is mostly called 'duplicate' by Yumiko when she's not serious or just joking around because she says that Mikan is just like another Fuji.
"A little more practice and I'll surpass your skill, Onii-chan!" Mikan muttered as she closed her eyes.
'But I'll have something else to train other that that,' She thought as she went to her own wonderland.
In the next days Mikan has been a lot cheerful which made Fuji suspicious. But being Mikan, Fuji is happy in the inside that his little sister is happy. Mikan has been training, running around the house and having matches with Fuji. But the time came when it was time to let Mikan go…
Mikan woke up early to prepare. Careful not to disturb, she ate breakfast, took a bath then wore her new high school uniform. She went back to her room then pretended to be asleep. Yumiko instructed her to leave after Fuji does so she could follow him to school. Mikan quickly agreed with the plan then patiently waited for his sister's signal to come out.
"Mikan! Time to go!" Yumiko shouted. Mikan dashed down the stairs, grabbed her tennis bag and shoulder bag then quietly followed Fuji behind. In the end, she was standing at the gates of Seishun Gakuen.
"My life starts here and now. No go backs…" Mikan muttered as she walked clutching the strap of her tennis bag. Sighing she walked over to find the principal's office.
