The little girl looked at her parents, laughing and playing with her brother down below her window. Her little hands formed a fist "Stupid tennis" she mumbled quietly to herself.

"Ryoma, come here" Her grandfather summoned, her head immediately turned away from the window, her eyes expressively showing her surprise as she glanced to her grandfather.

"Yes, Ojii-sama?" She asked sweetly, an innocent smile on her face despite the disgust in her grandfathers eyes.

He nodded, approving of her "Away from there, longing looks do not suit my heir, especially when your longing for that blasted game. Whatever imbecile wants to participate in that useless game should be hanged!" He exploded, the servants near him ready to catch anything he would suddenly throw.

She nodded, the smile gone from her face. She glanced once more at her biological parents and newly adopted brother before walking gracefully to her grandfather. "Of course Ojii-sama" she politely spoke

He held out a hand to her as he stood up "Come now, you have much to learn about the business, unlike your useless parents who were never even interested in it"

She took his hand and walked with him as the servants opened the door for the two "Ojii-sama, does Ryo-nii also like tennis?" she asked innocently, her free hand playing with one of her long pigtails

Her grandfathers hand tightened around hers, making the poor girl wince "He is not your brother Ryoma, I refuse to call an adopted brat an Echizen"

She bit her lower lip to refrain from crying out. "Eh? But Oyaji said he was…"

He looked down at her, noticed her pained expression and let go of her hand. He then kneeled down to her height and caressed her chubby six-year-old cheek. "Don't worry Ryoma, I'll keep you from being corrupted by those useless idiots. You'll be much happier with me"

She smiled weakly, cradling her hand "Of course…Ojii-sama"


"Ojii-sama, I am off to school now…" She spoke, standing up from her seat as two maids rushed to help her.

Her grandfather looked up from the newspaper he was reading with an expectant smile "Bring pride to the Echizen name, my heir"

She gave him a small smile as well as she was handed her bag. She straightened her Kakkoi tie and left without another word in a flashy Bentley.

"Shino, any word from Nii-…Ryoga?" She corrected herself immediately.

Her faithful butler/chauffer looked at his rear view mirror, watching his stoic mistress carefully. "He has arrived in Japan, that is the only thing he has informed me of. Residence and whether or not your parents have joined him Hime-sama, were information he had not disclosed"

She nodded "Have you traced the cell phone line he used?" She asked softly

He kept is eyes on the road, making a quick turn to the left "He had used a disposable phone Hime-sama, by the time we had gotten to it, the only thing left were his prints"

She gritted her teeth "Idiot. If Ojii-sama finds out he's in Japan then I'll have to move again, he was better off in America"

The old chauffer chuckled at her remark "He's taken quite the risk this time to contact you Hime-sama, maybe you two will get lucky and finally have a few minutes to talk"

She rolled her entrancing golden eyes "We'd still probably end up yelling at each other…"

A few more minutes later, they had arrived in the grand school. If its large laser gates were any indication of its wealth, if it wasn't than maybe the large fountain spewing sparkling chapagne was.

"Pick me up at 5" She spoke easily as her driver opened the door with a nod

"What are they doing?" She whispered the question to her new seatmate.

Her seatmate glanced at her in surprise, before he looked outside the window, a small smile on his face "Those? Those are the tennis regulars. Super exclusive. Despite everyone giving them the royal status, they always get to skip out on first period"

She nodded, watching the group run around the field. "Mada Mada Dane" She spoke out loud.

Her seatmate chuckled "You going to join the tennis team as well Echizen-san?"

She rolled her cat like eyes and glanced at her seatmate for the first time "I hate tennis" She spoke

His eyes widened "Heh, that's sad Echizen-san, this schools quiet obsessed with tennis" He said as a matter of fact.

She tucked a strand of hair back "How boring" She replied easily though she pouted adorably.

He frowned "Tennis isn't boring, its really fun…" He spoke stubbornly

"Boring" She concluded once more, just as stubborn as he was.

"Fun" He insisted

"Boring" She growled, her voice a bit higher

"Fun!" He growled back

"Boring" She spoke, a bit bored at the banter

"TENNIS IS FUN!" He yelled finally, his eyes went wide as he noticed what he had done, his hands going straight to his mouth as he glanced at his smirking seatmate, a few of his classmates laughing at his sudden outburst, some even agreeing to his statement out loud.

Their teacher glared at him openly "Yes, we understand that perfectly well Fuji-san, a warning to LISTEN in my class please"

He nodded meekly, "Sumimasen sensei" he mumbled

The teacher nodded before returning to the lesson at hand

"Boring… and troublesome as well" Ryoma concluded, earning a withering glare from her seatmate.

"Yadda! Let me go!" She couldn't believe what was happening, her seatmate was taking revenge by literally pulling her by her wrist to the tennis grounds.

"Come on! Just one game to show you how fun tennis is!" He insisted fervently

"Yadda! Fuji-san, I wont!" She yelled, almost stumbling, as he pulled harder.

"Call me Yuuta by the way...Fuuji-san sounds like your talking to my sister..." he mumbled, stopping to just plow her over his shoulder

She began kicking and clawing at his back. Till a seaweed haired boy began to follow them.

"Oi…Yuuta…you've got something weird on your shoulders…" he pointed out

"I see that Akira-san, help me drag her to the tennis courts"

"Eh? She can play tennis too?" The tennis freaks began to converse.

No one noticed the horror that sprang into her eyes, watching as her surroundings changed from the safety of the indoors, the flip of fresh air hit her like a truck.

"DAMN IT YUUTA! I AM WEARING A SKIRT!"
