The Love story that Never Was- Chapter One: By the Name of Kanzaki Shuurei
The first chapter : D please review and tell me what you think about it
"Come on Kaidoh-san, We have to get to Practice!" Kawamura Slipped on his regulars jacket with SEIGAKU on the back
Kaidoh grunted and took out a racket from his bag
"You forgot your racket." He grabbed one from the cub and tossed it to Kawamura
"Oh Yeah Tha-" He caught the racket and clutched it tightly in his hand
"BURNING!!"
Kaidoh sweatdropped 'Does this always happen?'
Kawamura faced the door and shot his tennis racket up in the air "YEAH!!"
Echizen came through the door and scratched the back of his head "Hey Kawamura, have you seen-"
"ECHIZEN!!"
Ryoma Flinched and took a few steps back
"LETS GO KICK SOME BUTT TODAY, KAIDOH!! FOR WE ARE SEIGAKU!! S-E-I-G-A-K-U!! BURNING!!"
"Yeah..what were you saying?" Kaidoh let go of his ears
Ryoma sweatdropped and exited out the door "Nevermind."
Kaidoh sighed and followed him

"Hurry up and pick up those balls, freshman!" A Senpai watched as Horio and his two friends picking up the balls one by one and putting them into the basket.
'Dammit...I really wish I would hurry up and become a regular, just like Echizen..' Horio Thought, and snickered as he picked up a ball and tossed it into the air
"DONT LAUGH! If captain Tezuka comes back and still sees this mess, you don't know what he would say!" The Senpai Ordered and pointed at them
The ball hit Horio back in the head
"H-Hai..." They said as they picked up their speed
"Ohayo!" There was a sound of a cheerful voice as always
"A-Ah..Kikumaru-Senpai" The Senpai scratched the back of his head and smiled
Eiji Kikumaru grinned and greeted the Freshman with a warm smile "Good Morning!"
"Hai..good morning Eiji-Senpai"
"Well, I guess we'll start morning practice." He picked up his racket from the ground and tossed it into the air, then caught it with the other hand.
Kachiro looked around questionably
"Eh? Wheres Oishi Senpai?" He turned and asked him
"Ah..hes making some arrangements with Tezuka." Eiji walked off spinning his racket around his wrist "So annoying"
"I see." They stared at eachother
"...Arrangements For what?" Kachiro asked
"I don't know." Another one answered "Probably for an upcoming game or something"
"YOU IDIOTS!" The Senpai held a broom up and threatened them
"DID YOU NOT HEAR ME!! HURRY UP AND KEEP WORKING!"
"R-Right" They picked up their pace and immediately started to pick up the balls
"Horio-kun!"
Horio turned around once again and dropped a ball from his hand
"Whats the matter Sakuno?"
She stopped and blushed, and looked down at the box of bentou in her arms
"Have you seen Ryoma-kun?" She shuffled her feet
"Ah..I don't know." He shrugged and went back to picking balls. 'How should I know where he is? my 2 years of experience doesn't tell THAT much'
"Ah..okay." Sakuno was dissapointed, but tried to hide it. She didn't want anyone to know yet that she had a huge crush on Ryoma
She walked off looking around the Tennis court
"Tsktsk." Horio shook his head "So Obvious."

"Oi, Fuji!"
Fuji looked up from cleaning his racket "Yes?"
Kikumaru ran up to him and panted
"Want to have morning practice with me?"
"Sure."
He grinned and scratched his head
Momoshiro came up to them drinking a can of pop
"Hey, have you guys seen Echizen?" He took a gulp
"No, didn't he come today?" Fuji held his chin
"I saw him here earlier, he must be somewhere dozing off again" Eiji put his hands behind his head and walked off
'That lazy ass..'
The Machine made a sound as the Ponta juice rolled down to the opening
He grabbed it and opened it with a loud fizzy noise, There was no one other than Ryoma Echizen that likes to drink Ponta Juice a lot.
He held the can up and drank the juice with relaxation as he walked, until he bumped into someone
It was just lucky that he didn't spill the Juice
"Sorry"
He looked up and saw a girl wearing a white cap similar to His, but just plain white that was tilting to the side. She had straight black hair with a bit of brown shading that was tied in low ponytails going down her front that was up to her chest. She was wearing a white jacket and black sweatpants.
'it doesn't look like shes from our school. Probably another spy' He walked off while taking another sip of the Ponta, not paying attention to the girl.
The girl that looked around his age watched as he walked off, taking slow sips of his drink. She shrugged and clang the 100 yen together in her hands
She turned back to the vending machine and looked at the choices of soft drinks and fiddled with the 100 yen in her hands
That was when she noticed there was another 100 yen in the change box.
She quickly scooped it out with her hand and turned around, but he was already no where to be seen
The girl pouted and looked at the 100 yen in her hand, then put it into her pocket
'Hes probably from the tennis club. I'll give it to him when I see him'
She pushed her own yen in, and out came an orange ponta. She grabbed it and put it into her pink backpack, she then threw it around her shoulder and walked off.
"Hey, where do you think your going?"
She looked up and noticed that she was surrounded by 5 muscular guys
"You are..?"
One of the guys tossed a tennis ball in the air and started bouncing it with the racket
"How Insulting. Do you really not know us anymore?"
She tilted her head full with confusion 'Who...'
--FLASHBACK--
"6-0 Game to St. Kagurei Gakuen"
He clutched his arm as it bled madly from his wrist
"Y-You..."
She put her arms on her waist and tapped her foot
"Thats what you get for messing with St. Kagurei Gakuen" There was suddenly loud whispers coming from the crowd, then it became cheers
--END OF FLASHBACK--
She stared at the Guys wrist, it was healed already, but it left a huge scar circling around his wrist
"I'm finally going to get payback for what you did to me" He slammed his fist in his palm and made a face "Your unlucky that I lived"
"I'm going to make it hurt for you 100 times more than it did to me.." He drew back his racket and prepared to slam it against her face
She did nothing, but smirked
The guy twitched 'WHY YOU...'
In no time at all, she grabbed the end of the racket and spun it around, his wrist made a cracking noise and the racket dropped to the ground.
He fell on his knees and clung to his wrist
"BOSS!" the other four gathered around him
The girl picked up her backpack from the ground and walked away
'You...I'll never, NEVER forget this...'
"1-0! Game Fuji Syusuke" The judge yelled out
"Dammit Fuji, when did you become so challenging?" Kikumaru stood panting and sweating, holding the racket in both hands
"Or rather, when did you suddenly become weaker?" This was the first time Fuji talked back, it was very unusual
Eiji looked pissed, he didn't hold back and did one of his Kikumaru beams
'Easy. I'll just use my Higuma Otoshi to defend it...' Fuji thought and got into position 'useless.'
'Damn, I was careless' Kikumaru ran up to the net to serve the ball back
'I WONT LOSE!'
He moved his hand a little too back, and served it back way too hard, it bounced off Fuji's square and went over the Tennis courts to the outside where the benches were.
"15-0"
o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o
The girl clasped her hands together and looked around the view, she set her backpack down and sat on the bench, watching the morning tennis practices that were going on. Its been three years since she had played herself, so this was a good review. Although she wasn't planning to take up tennis again, or ever.
"HEY! WATCH OUT!"
She immediately looked forward, and saw a tennis ball heading her way
"CRAP!" Kikumaru Widened his eyes
Fuji opened his eyes- but then looked shocked.
The ball stopped. It was now spinning slowly in the hand of the girl.
Everyone from the Tennis court stopped, and stared at her with amazement.
She raised an eyebrow and was wondering what was so shocking about this. She stood up and drew the ball back, then threw it back to them. Unbelievably, It went over the Tennis Court Barrier and back to Eiji and Fuji's Court.
she has an amazing throw.
Eiji caught the tennis ball with the face of his racket, and bounced it up and down
'that second chibi is...'
They were still all staring at the girl. Not because of her amazing throw and catch, because of such a gender.
'You'd have to practice months just to be able to do that spin catch with the tennis ball.' Fuji Thought. 'Shes Good. Not just an ordinary Tennis Player'

Echizen leaned on the tree in the shadows. He inspected the girl carefully while hitting a tennis ball continuously on the side of his racket.
"Hey. What School are you from?" Momoshiro appeared behind the other regulars and asked
The girl stared at them, then at the rest of the regulars.
"Why should I answer that?" She crossed her arms and looked away, rolling her eyes
"WHY YOU...!" Momoshiro made a fist and took a step forward
"H-Hey, calm down.." Kikumaru and Fuji supported him on both sides, his temper can never be adjusted
"She doesn't look any older than Echizen." Inui jotted down information into his data notebook
"Hey, Shuurei!" A girl with long black hair ran to the other girl
"Lets go, We have to do that errand my mom gave us."
The girl that was sitting on the bench, stood up and obediently followed her
"Shuurei...?" Kikumaru thought and raised an eyebrow. He exchanged glances with Fuji
She stopped.
"Kanzaki Shuurei." She corrected.
The all saw as she walked off and left Kikumaru surprised
"Kanzaki Shuurei..." Inui wrote in his secret data notebook as his glasses gleamed in the sunlight
"Interesting." He looked up
"Oh..." She stopped and reached into her pocket and took out a hundred yen
Without turning back, she raised her arm up and flicked it backwards
"That was yours I believe."
"..." Echizen caught it with one of his hands and clutched it in his palm
'How did she know I was here?'

Sakuno peered from the tree beside the one Ryoma was leaning on
She sighted and turned her back it and stared at the Bentou box
'Who is she? Why is she here?'
She looked at Ryoma, then at the girl, who was now walking off with her friend.
'She looks strong...could it be that she wants a match with Ryoma-kun?' She looked worried

Meanwhile..
"My, wasn't That entertaining Tezuka?" Coach Ryuuzaki stood in front of the window facing the tennis court and the regulars that were beginning to resume practice
Tezuka leaned on the wall with his eyes closed and adjusted his glasses with a finger
"Kanzaki Shuurei Eh?" Oishi looked out and crossed his arms. "She seems to be competitive."
He turned and faced Tezuka "Shall we do some research on her?"
"No." Coach Ryuuzaki Interrupted
She peered outside the window
"She will come Back."
Tezuka Smiled and agreed
Ryuuzaki lowered her head "...She is the other Granddaughter of mine, after all."
