Chapter 2

In the park's water fountain, I glanced at my appearance and almost laughed (inwardly) at my resemblance to Toshiro. The boy's tennis clothes sealed the deal. The midnight blue hat I was wearing hid a bit of my hair, and pushed my bang back. I tugged it down a bit, knowing that people thought my eyes were weird most of the time.

'Eh these guy's are okay. If Toshiro were here, he would've beat them all, easy as pie.'

Thats all I could think of, as I watched a couple of boys around the age Toshiro would be now. I shook my head at them and walked away. They really needed to work on their form.

Then i heard a rally going off, so I went to go see if it was any one really good. Hey, just cause I forfeited didn't mean I had lost my urge to play. No, it probably made me wanna play even more.

As I got closer to the game I saw that it was Echizen playing and some orange haired guy that looked like a jerk. I walked inside the gate and leaned against the fence, watching Echizen get point after point. But when Ryoma hit it on the line the orange haired jerk called it out.

"Too bad kid, it was just a little bit long, just barely out."

Then that girl that was apologizing to Echizen said, "He must be crazy that ball was clearly in."

I couldn't hold what i had to say in, it just came out of my mouth.

"You might as well have forget about it, we can't say anything. They're going to have to settle it by themselves."

"Huh? Does that mean-"

"Yeah its all them, they have to make fair lines them selves. He can call it any way he wants to."

"Advantage to Sasabe!" Then Echizen served and started another rally. Then Echizen hit it short. The orange haired jerk returned it and Echizen hit another lob, but this one spun to a stop as soon as it hit the ground.

"Are you going to call that one out?" Was Echizen's remark, it was so funny that it almost made me smirk a bit.

Games were played and Echizen was winning 3-0. The next thing to happen made my eyes widen and my mouth to drop open a little in shock. The orange haired jerk let go of his racket and it hit Echizen in the face. He was on his knee's and one hand while the other was holding his forehead, blood trickling down onto the ground. But before anyone could move that girl Sakuno, I think it was, ran onto the court and asked Echizen if he was okay. All she got in response was...

"Don't step on court during a match!"

"Bu-but." He turned his back on her and said...

"You having problems with your grip, you still have a ways to go." Then Echizen served a twist serve and almost hit the jerk in the face, but the second time he served the it it hit him hard in the face. He was about to serve again when the jerk freaked out and fell to his knee's trying to protect himself, the idiot.

Then after finding out he lost the jerk kept going off about he was practicing and junk, but Echizen was okay with it and agreed to playing another match. But he switched his racket to his left hand.

'Hmm he's like me, always giving the opponent the handicap.'

Cause ya see I'm a lefty in tennis but i also play well with my right hand so i give handicaps by playing righty. But after the jerk realized he wasn't going to win he took off with his friends.

I nodded my congrats to Echizen and was about to leave when..

"Hey! Are you Toshiro Sayo?" called some random old lady in a pink jumpsuit. I froze in my tracks and turned my head to the old woman.

"No I'm his sister," I said, raising an eyebrow under my hat. Seriously though, why did people always think I was a freaking boy?

"Sister? But you're a boy," said that Sakura or whatever her name was. I lifted my right hand to my cap and pulled it off, my long black hair falling down to just above my mid back, and my bangs going to there original place over my right eye. Luckily no one saw both of my eyes.

"Oh, so you must be Ayame Sayo," said the old lady in a pleasant realization. I figured that she didn't know about that accident, in that moment.

"I changed it." I looked some where else.

"Oh? What to?" asked the old lady.

"Raven Night."

"Ohhh, so you must be the Raven Night, the one who's making all that trouble in the tennis championships in Kantou. You know, you've beaten your brother's record pretty bad.." said the old lady.

My heart tore and I had to tighten my grasp on my tennis bag to stop them from shaking. I kept my emotionless look on and said...

"Yes Ma'am." That's all I would say. Yes ma'am. I wouldn't answer any more questions. No one would know that I was living alone or I'd have to leave my house again. I didn't want to leave my family's house again. I just couldn't.

"Hmm, well I was his coach, can you tell your brother I said hello?"

"Yes ma'am" I gulped. 'If she was his coach, then she must know about the accident. Wait, now I remember, she was at the funeral. If she knows he's dead then why act as if he was still alive? I guess I'm off the hook for now.'

I looked into her eyes, she looked back, as if all knowing, I could see pity.

"Thank you," said the old lady. I then turned and walked out of the courts, passed some old, dying trees and passed several parks towards the cemetery. When I got there I headed to Toshiro's tomb stone.

"Hi Onii-san, some old lady coach of yours said hi...I miss you guys," I said as something wet hit the grave. I stayed there and stared at the name on the stone, tracing it with my pointer finger and staring at the picture of him. It was starting to get dark so i stood up and waved to the grave stone. "Bye Onii-san, tell the others that I love them and miss them." Then I turned and walked out of the Grave yard and back home so I could start to make my dinner. There was no one around so no one saw me break character, and sniffle, and wipe my eyes.

The end for now

Rana- So~ How was it? Don't be shy.

Salty- Why am I still here? I have to get back to Iris and Katsumi-Chan...

Rana- PUSH THE DANG BUTTON!

Salty- AHH! WTF? *Runs away.

Rana- Oh yeah, Yasu-Chan told me that if anyone wanted to know more about Raven that you should look at the profile where I posted a pic. There's also some info on the link that says Chapter one sign.
