Okay, I've just finished Prologue, Chapter 1 & Chapter 2 before school's here (shot'd). Okay, I don't own PoT, I only own the OC here.


Chapter 1: Sickness


Around 3 years later, some time in spring, Kenya is now a 3rd year middle school student. He is now studying in Shitenhouji middle school in Osaka.

"What's got you bothered, Kenya?" a voice from behind called. He decided not to look & continues looking at the window. "It's nothing Shiraishi" he said. Shiraishi sighed. "If you're having problems in your love life, don't sulk it in front of me" he teased him. Kenya flustered & looked behind him. "Shut up will you, buchou?" he gave Shiraishi a glare. His captain just smirked & pats the Speed-star's hair. "Don't worry, I'm just joking" he said as he tries not laughing at Kenya. Kenya could see how poor his buchou is at muffling his laughter. He just stood up & went outside of the classroom.

As he was walking towards the stairs, he can hear some of the girls giggling at his sight. He was definitely pissed off & the girls' giggles made it worse. He sighed under his breath & continues walking. Kenya was about to turn right when he bumped into something. Rather someone. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going" a girl the same age as he is, apologized. Kenya blinked & apologized too. "Oh, I wasn't paying attention either" he said. "Are you Kenya Oshitari, am I wrong?" she asked politely.

Kenya gave her a confused look & scratched his head. "Yeah, why?" he asked rudely. The girl just smiled & said, "It's a pleasure to be meeting you." He blinked. "I'm your research partner in World History, Hiraki Mikuni" she said politely. Kenya's jaw mentally dropped. "You're studying here, Hiraki?!" he was surprised. 'Even if you're the Speed-star of Naniwa, the speed of you realizing that we're classmates is slow...' she thought to herself. "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention during World History class" he apologized. Mikuni bowed & left Kenya. Kenya just stood there for a few seconds & went back going to the school's rooftop.


The next day during World History class, the teacher was doing the class attendance. "Hiraki-san!" the teacher called. But no one answered. The teacher looked around & found Mikuni present in his class, looking pale. "Hiraki-san, you should go to the infirmary, I think you're not feeling well" he said in a worried tone. Mikuni just smiled at her teacher & replied, "I'm doing fine. I don't think that I'm sick at all." The teacher sighed & went to her seat. "Are you sure?" he asked as he touched her forehead. His hand quickly parted her forehead. "Kenya" the teacher called. Kenya stood up & went towards his teacher. "I'll take her to the infirmary, am I right?" he sighed. The teacher pats his shoulders. "Don't worry, you're exempted in this week's research" he said sarcastically. Kenya just sighed & dragged Mikuni to the school infirmary.


As they got to the school's infirmary, the nurse was apparently out. Mikuni just sat at the side of the bed. Kenya just leaned in the wall across the bed Mikuni was sitting. "Get back to class already" she said in a serious tone. But Kenya wasn't apparently listening to a thing she was saying. "Nah, I'd rather wait for the nurse to come back rather than to listen to that teacher ramble about the least interesting subject" he replied in a bored tone. She sighed & tried to stand up. "Don't worry, I've asked Shiraishi to lend us a copy of the notes" he tried to stop her. But she continued to go in front of the door. "Don't try to stop me, Oshitari" she threatened. As soon as she opens the door, she saw the school nurse in front of her.

"Why are the two of you here?" he asked. "She's got a fever. Sensei asked me to accompany her but you weren't here" Kenya told the school nurse. He touched her forehead & quickly withdraws it again. "She needs to be brought to the hospital" he said as he fixes his documents in his desk. "It is okay sensei, I just need some rest, that's all" she said. Kenya was amused on how her attitude towards him just then became different. The school nurse sighed & turned around, sitting in his chair. "No, you should be brought to the hospital already by this time" he said in a frigid tone "If that continues, it might get worse" he added. He looked at Kenya & ordered him, "Tell the teacher in charge that she will be going to the hospital & she will be considered as half-day for today." Kenya leaved the school infirmary & returned to the classroom.


The next day during the Tennis Club's practice, Kenya was practicing with his doubles partner, Hikaru Zaizen. The younger boy noticed something was bothering his partner. He decided to end their practice by using a drop shot. The ball went inside the net. Kenya sat down & catched his breath. "Kenya, I think that you should ask Shiraishi-buchou to have this day off" he said bluntly to his doubles partner. Kenya suddenly looked at Hikaru, looking surprised. "What are you saying Hikaru? Let's continue our practice" he said dryly. "You should practice tomorrow when you took the trouble out of your mind" a familiar voice was heard in the entrance of Court B. It was one of the regulars, Gin Ishida along with their captain, Shiraishi Kuranosuke.

"Shiraishi, why are you here?" he asked. "I know that you need to visit your partner in the hospital, Kenya" he replied sarcastically, emphasizing the word "partner". "If you play tennis with your mind disturbed, you might end up getting hurt" said Gin. "Are you sure? I don't think Osamu-san will-" he said until he was interrupted by Shiraishi. "I've already asked Osamu to excuse you for practice today, so you should get going to the hospital."

"Thanks Shiraishi, I owe you one" he said as he leaves the courts to the hospital.


Phew, I finally finished editing this. () Anyway, I try to make the OC original & not a mary-sue. If you think that she's a mary-sue, I'm sorry. Anyways, please review.
