Title: Lunch with the Regulars
Disclaimer: I do not own Prince of Tennis.


Fubuki POV
I sat beneath some random tree I found by the bike racks, staring aimlessly at the birds, flying together, "If I could be as free as those birds," I sighed.

"HELLO FUBUKI-CHAN!!!!!" yelled someone from behind me.

"HOLY BEJEEZUS!!!" I screamed, flinging my food at whoever it was. It turned out to be on of the guys from this morning, he had red hair and sparkling sapphire blue eyes, he reminded me of a little kid. "Sorry, er, I didn't know who you were," I blushed.

"It's okay," he smiled, "I'm Eiji, nya."

"Hi, it seems you already know my name," I replied.

"Yeah, news travels fast," he smiled again, "Why you sitting by yourself?" I started to explain to him, that I didn't know anyone here well. But that wasn't the truth, this is…


I was hanging around, when I saw some girls that looked nice enough. So I walked to where they were sitting, "Hi, I'm Fubuki Ryuuzaki," I introduced myself.

One of them, a girl with sleek, black hair and green eyes glared at me, "You sat next to Tezuka-sama today," she almost snarled at me.

"Yeah, so," I replied. She stood up and slapped me. "What the hell?" I asked, "What's your problem?"

"My problem is that you're too close to Tezuka-sama for my liking, so you better be careful," she sneered, "I'm Sayuri Nakahara, Captain of the girl's tennis team, and you better know your place here."

I couldn't believe that, this girl was in love with Mr. One-face, it took all my self-control not to laugh my head off, I only stood up and walked away, that Bitch wasn't worth it.

Yeah, now I found myself getting dragged along to the Tennis Courts, so much for staying away from "Tezuka-sama"


Tezuka POV
I sat in the bleachers with the rest of the team, quietly eating my lunch. "Ne, what's your opinion on Fubuki-chan?" Fuji asked, smiling as usual.

"I guess she's like other girls I guess," I replied, after chewing for quite a while.

"Well, I think she has a bit of a crush on you," he smiled.

I almost laughed, that seemed very unlikely. "How did you come to that conclusion?" I asked.

"Well, probably from that little embrace you two shared this morning, anyone would've thought that she had a crush on you," he said, looking at me with an eyebrow raised.

I turned away to think about it, and couldn't help but remember the child-like surprise in her eyes when she was pushed into my arms, the faint pink blush that spread out across her cheeks. Why was I thinking about her like this? I already know that she was slightly different form the other girls here, but why?

"HEY!! LOOK WHO I FOUND!!" I heard Eiji yell, snapping me out of it. I looked up, and there she was, behind Eiji.


Fubuki POV
I looked up at the team, 'They're all guy's,' I thought, 'and I'm the only girl…SHIT!' So far there was a guy wearing a green bandana who said his name was Kaidoh, hissing at the end of his sentence, a guy with short, spiky black hair who told me to call him Momo-chan, an adorable guy who made me feel nervous, he said his name was Syuusuke Fuji and to just call him Fuji, another guy with green eyes and a weird hair do who Eiji introduced me to as his doubles partner, Oishi and then there was the short kid with the hat called Ryoma and creepy looking guy with thick glasses, Inui. They also said that there was this guy called Takashi Kawamura, who was home sick. My head was literally spinning from all the introductions, so many names to remember. But soon enough I could tell their names from heart now, and despite the strangeness I felt around some of them, they were a nice bunch.

"So, do you play tennis Fubuki-senpai?" Ryoma asked me.

I shook my head in response.

"Ii data," Inui muttered, scribbling something into his notebook.

"Why don't you play tennis?" Eiji asked me, "You are Ryuuzaki-sensei's other granddaughter after all."

"It's personal," I muttered. I looked up and met Tezuka's gaze again.


Tezuka POV
It wasn't so bad having Fubuki there, I guess. When Ryoma asked if she played tennis, I turned to listen, and there was that sad look again on her face.

"It's personal," she whispered softly.

She turned towards me and I was soon swimming in the infallible depths of her eyes, I could see the vulnerability, and I felt the urge to just wrap my arms around her and protect her from whatever it was that was making her like this. But soon the bell rang, and I stood up, turning away quickly.


Normal POV
Classes wore on as usual; Fubuki and Tezuka sat in a perfect oasis of silence. Whatever feelings Tezuka had to be close to Fubuki wore off. But now Fubuki was urged to quell the storm in her mind. 'I CANNOT believe it, I mean, come on, the guy only show's one face,' she thought angrily, 'He has less emotion than a lump of sugar, even a baby could tell that.' But as she turned to look at him, she didn't turn away as soon as she hoped, his hazel brown eyes were, focused, attentive, there was power behind them. She looked down, 'Down girl, it's just a girly crush, it'll wear off soon.'

A/N: Yeah, this is the second chapter, I must be feeling pretty inspired now. This is probably the fastest I will ever update. Please R and R. Thank you AuroraXHime, I guess I updated sooner than I wrote.
