It was early... way to early in fact... The birds had just started to chirp and the sun rose from behind the horizon. Ryoka walked along the gates of Rikkai inspecting her 'soon to be rivals'. Not really caring just trying to kill time... although who thinks going to a school at the crack of dawn was a good time killer? Especially one so far away as this one. Yawning she managed to find the tennis courts, it wasn't that hard all she had to do was follow the beautiful noise of a ball hitting concrete.

The boys seemed to just start practice seeing as the nets were being set up by the first years. Blinking she looked around at all the boys... there was a lot she guessed a 100 or so. Impressive.. is all she thought examining the boys warming up. Sitting on the bleachers she made sure to be out of the way as some of them decided to run laps around the courts. Resting her head on her hands she watched as some more boys joined them. They must be regulars since the atmosphere seemed to intensify as the others bowed to them. She cocked her head I wonder if they're really good? I wish I could test their strength. Smiling she tried to contain her excitement however, she calmed down How do I know if they're even that great? Slyly she picked up her racket and walked towards them.

"Ano I was wondering who would like to play a match with me." The boys stopped surprised at the girl wearing a cocky smile.

"Hey this is no place for a girl!" One of them yelled walking closer to her.

"Come on it would be fun unless you're afraid of losing?" Her monotoned face turned into a smirk.

"Please a girl like you wouldn't stand against me. I almost made it as a regular!" Putting his thumb on his chest he replied with arrogance. She just rolled her eyes.

"Almost... I don't know why you're bragging since you didn't make it.. But maybe you'll be a little fun... What do you say how about it." Ryoka walked to one side of the court.

"Fine since the regulars aren't here I'll be glad to face you girlie!" She kept a straight face to hide the disappointment. Man and I thought there were regulars around here, oh well I need a warm up anyways.

"What's your name girl?"

"Ryoka... Echizen, Ryoka." Smirking, the guy had no idea who she really was and what power she held.

"I'm Masa, Kint and prepare to lose girl." Before he bounced the ball he held a smirk, "You know now that I look at you, your hot why not go on a date with me if I win."

"Yadda... I don't date cocky bastards like you." He frowned and bounced the ball.

"Well see..." He throw the ball and served it to the left corner. Not bad but, not good ether.

She returned it easily gaining a point.

"Love- 15" The ref called out. Gripping the another ball Masa was mad.

"Fine try this." He served it faster still she reached it easily.

"Love- 30"

"Come on Masa-san give me your best." Ryoka stood cockily as he served again.

"Love- 40" Ryoka sighed knowing this game was going to be boring.

Masa just growled, how dare she make a fool of him. Serving again she returned it easily as he became more pissed.

"1 game to love Ryoka to serve!'

"What the hell are you?" He yelled. Smiling she served the ball scoring a perfect ace.

"15-Love"

Needless to say she won easily, her racket was slung over her shoulders as she looked over to Masa who was panting, lying on the concrete.

"I wish I could say it was a good game but, I would be lying." With that she walked away to the courts door. About to open it a ball went flying at her. Swiftly she caught it turning back to the boy. Glaring she bounced the ball.

"How embarrassing not only have you brought shame to you but, to the name of your team. Take your defeat as gracefully as you can and remember a defeat makes you stronger if you learn from the mistakes you made. Got it?"

"H-hai" he replied hastily. Her intense glare disappeared as she nodded a good-bye.

She exited the court looking to left meeting the stare from 8 guys. Turning she gave a bow.

"Gomen it seems I have over stepped my limits. I should have request a match with you properly before I took action. I admit I was too blind by the excitement of playing someone good."
"As long as you realize your mistake." She gave a small chuckle at the boy with the cap.

"Your right I shouldn't expect so much." Winking this caught some of them off guard.

"Maybe I could have a match with one of you all some other time." She locked eyes with the blue haired boy as he smiled kindly back.

"What is your name Miss?"

"Echizen, Ryoka."

"Echizen!! you mean your related to that brat Ryoma?" One yelled.

"Hai thats my little brother... If I remember correctly he beat you." She pointed to the cap guy.

Frowning he just grunted.

"Aw! Its not that bad I heard it was a great match Sanada-san."

"How do you know is name?"

"My brother told me of his matches also his teams; your Renji, Yanagi the one who played Inui."

"You are correct" She smiled softly

"I have great respect for you all thats why I wanted to play at least one of you. Honestly my brother's story got me excited... it seems to have got me in trouble though."

The blue haired laughed whole heartedly

"Not at all in fact I would be more than happy to face you."

"Honto!! Arigato! I'll keep that in mind for are next meeting. I have to go, school is about to start and I need to make it back to Seigaku."

"You mean you came all the way here just for a match"

"Hai its not that bad I just came from the airport." She shrugged and grabbed her stuff.

"Bye boys" She waved starting to run off

"Yukimaru" Sanada started

"Yes I know what a cock aura she holds but she is quite the interesting little girl don't you think."
"She's also sexy was I the only who noticed her curves and that nice flat stomach!"

"Niou! Behave yourself." Hiroshi, Yagyuu

"I agree though" Bunta jumped in slyly smiling

"Puri~"

Jackal blushed slightly realizing he also noticed.

"Ha-ha Jackal-sempai thought so too" Kirihara laughed

"That's enough everyone get to practice." Sanada yelled

Yukimaru smirked at his fukutaicho knowing that Sanada had some thoughts to the situation and from what he could tell they were definitely naughty. Sanada looked to his captain.

"Nani?"

"Oh you know Sanada already picturing that girl doing something naughty." He immediately grew a blush at his captain catching him but, shook it off.

"Though I can't blame you were all boys of a certain age and its natural." Yukimaru said laughing and joining the others leaving Sanada alone. That damn sadist he cursed silently.

I ran all the way from Rikkai Dai enjoying the nice morning breeze. I made it to Seigaku with time to spare. Walking I looked at my new school, eh its just another school nothing to be too excited over. I shrugged going to find the tennis courts. Now If I was a tennis court where would I be...I stopped and listened to my surroundings, the wind carried the sound of the tennis balls hitting the court. What a welcoming sign... Stepping up my walk I hurried to find Ryoma-nii.

Finally, I thought happily watching the scurrying of first years as some commanded them. Going unnoticed I leaned against the railing my arms crossing against the horizontal pole running along the fence. A smile appeared across my face as I found Ryoma-nii surrounded by the regulars he told me about. If I recall that one with the red head is Kikumaru, Eiji and that one with the spikes in Takeshi, Momoshiro. Giggling they currently had Ryoma in a head lock. Apparently I giggled to loud since someone approached me.

"Outsiders aren't allowed." The boy was 6 feet 2 inches... maybe. With glasses blocking my view of his eyes. I smirked at him and turned my head to the side.

"I understand that, sorry to prove you wrong, I'm a new student here so I am not categorized as an outsider." He looked at me shocked.

"Where is your uniform then?"

"I still need to pick it up aside from that, I thought this outfit was presentable for my first day." I stepped back as he examined me. I had a dark green short skirt on with a whit tank top along with my dark green jacket, also my black tennis shoes. He blushed and looked away scribbling notes. I giggled slightly I just couldn't help myself.

"Inui what's going on." The boy with brown hair and glasses asked coming over, the captain... Tezuka, Kunimitsu.

"Hello and thank you" I said bowing

"Thank you?"

"For taking care of my younger brother I know he's a pain."

"Who is your younger brother miss..."
"Echizen, Ryoka" I smirked as Inui looked at me surprised Tezuka just examined me.

"HONTO!!! O-chibi has an older sister!?" Eiji yelled bouncing over to me. I don't know how he got outside the court that fast, or when he joined the conversation. Never the less I received wide eyed responses from a lot of people, some just looked over. Eiji quickly pulled me into the court before I could register what happened.

"Onee-chan?" He asked star struck.

"Yo" I replied waving my hand happily. Suddenly I was being glomped by my brother who squeezed my stomach. I patted his head as the regulars smiled at us.

"Kawaii! Nya!!!" Eiji said with water eyes, "Brother and sister reunited" I sweat dropped at his response.

"Eiji there's no need to cry"
"Huh? How do you know my name?" I sighed feeling a little bit of deja vu.

"I know all of you... sorta... my brother talks about you a lot! That's why I want to thank you all for taking care for him!"

"Its no problem really" Oishi replied

"Still thank you very, very much!!" I bowed, well as far as Ryoma would let, he was still attached to my hip.

"He-he I never knew Echizen cared that much about us." Momo said pulling Ryoma into a head lock... again. I just smiled while Tezuka walked over to me.

"What class are you going to be in Echizen-chan?"

"I believe its yours Ryuzaki-sensei mentioned you being in my class."

"Aw! Lucky you get to be with Ry-chan." Eiji complained

"Its alright Eiji we'll see each other sometime! Ry-chan... now thats new"

"So does that mean I get to call you that" His eyes sparkled

"Why not."

"Hey no far." Momo whined

"Everyone can call me that Momo-chan." I replied as he went to hug me.

"Yay Ry-chan so kawaii." I just smiled the only thing I could do.

"Hey minna the bells about to ring we're gonna be late." Taka said quietly. The regulars left as quickly as they could, running off to change. Ryoma gave me one last hug as he went off after them.

Ryoka had a typical first day, she had to introduce herself, got a lot of guys ogling over her, girls wanted to killer, and all that great stuff. She received her uniform after school while the guys had there practice. Waiting by the school's entrance she leaned against the wall waiting for Ryoma. Hearing footsteps she turned to face who ever was coming in hopes that it was her brother, unexpectedly Tezuka was in his place.

"Tezuka gomen I thought you were my brother coming."

"Its fine though Ryoma won't be joining you Eiji and Momo seemed to have stolen him off without giving him a chance to protest." She sighed, No wonder Ryoma called them hyperactive...

"Ah, well I guess I should be off then." She picked her bag up and suspended it on her shoulders.

"Echizen-chan would you mind going to the library with me since we have that project due next Friday I thought I could help you." Tezuka blurted out, Why did I ask that and in such of a desperate way.

"Really that would be great."
