"Good morning class, today we will have a new student joining us. Please come in, Echizen-kun."

A wave of giggles abound as the girls in the class realize how cute the new transfer student is.

"Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself, Echizen-kun."

" Hai. My name is Echizen Ryoma. I been living in the U.S. for the last 12 years. My dream is to defeat my baka oyaji in tennis."

"..."

"That's nice... please, sat down in the empty seat in front of Horio-kun, Echizen-kun."

The teacher went back to the black broad to start the day's lesson, leaving the boy called Ryoma to settle in by himself. Ryoma find his seat, sat down, pull his cap over his eye and tries to sleep despite the numerous attempts to catch his attention, most of them from love-struck girls. He manage to ignore the storm of notes hitting his back and drift of to dreamland, only to be awakened by the bells and one obnoxious voice.

"Hey! I am Horio Satoshi! From your introduction I am guessing you be joining the tennis team? I have you know that the Seigaku tennis team is the best in Tokyo and I, with my two years of tennis experience, are close to becoming a regular on the team. I be glad to introduce you to everyone on the team after school today. How about it, Echizen-kun? Echizen-kun...? "

Echizen Ryoma has left the building.

Later that day

"Wow... he defeated Arai-senpai, a freshman..."

" What is he?"

" Just who is that new kid?"

Just as earlier in the class, rumors and whispers trails behind the boy known as Echizen Ryoma. The object of speculation himself, however, couldn't care less about what everyone is saying and is at the moment, packing up after the disappointing match he had. One can only wonder at his ability to ignore the pointing, staring and excessively loud cheering(on part of his newly formed fan club) aim towards him. When silence suddenly descended, the absence of sound compelled Ryoma to look up and there they are.

"What are you standing around for? Everyone, 50 laps around the court, now!"

The Seigaku regulars have arrived.

Utilizing the chaos created by that command, Ryoma took a minute to observe the team some consider to be one of the best in the Tokyo region. What he found was disappointing(1).

"This is seigaku? che, i expected better from what oyaji said."

"And who might you be?" A voice above him said. Ryoma looked up and recognized the captain of the seigaku tennis team, Tezuka Kunimitsu.

"Echizen Ryoma." The significance of this name was only indicated by a slight widening of Tezuka's eye.

"Nya! Tezuka, who is the ochibi?" The hyper red head who Ryoma can only assume to be Eiji, one part of the famous Golden pair, bounced over to them with the rest of the team following.

While introductions were made, Ryoma let his eyes drift over the player again but this time, stopping on one player in particular.

//hem... closed eye, check. creepy smile, check. This must be the tensai, Fuji Shusuke.// Ryoma wondered to himself. //He remind me of someone, but who? That smile...seems familiar..."

Ryoma's musing was suddenly interrupted by an acrobatic tennis player's attempt to hug him to death and his pervious train of thoughts fades away, gone but not forgotten.

"Genichirou."

"Hai."

"Nice practice today, Akaya has really improved over the break." The somewhat feminine looking boy with blue hair and a Rikkai Dai tennis team jacket on said to his companion.

"hem..." was all the response he got from his baseball cap wearing friend.

"You know" he teased, "at this rate, Akaya might actually win a game from you one of these days."

" Not very likely" The boy called Sanada Genichirou said with derision in his voice.

"You never know...stranger things have happened." replied the feminine looking boy known as Yukimura Seiichi.

"..."

"Yukimura, something has been bothering you lately."

"Is it that obvious?"

"What is it?"

Sigh, " I been kind of unsettled lately. The dreams have gotten worse and I keep feeling that there is something important that I forgot, that I would remember whatever it is any moment."

"..."

"Random images and imaginary conversations are popping up in my head and I just ..."

"You known Yukimura, you can always...Yukimura? what's wrong? Yukimura!"

Yukimura Seiichi has fainted(2).

1) I suck at introduction and description so I am gonna just skip the character introductions and assume that you all know who everyone is.

2)This is different from the anime and I am sorry for leaving a cliffhanger, but I felt that this would be a good place to stop. It just flowed that way.

From now on, I am gonna try to update once a week, note the keyword try. I was not very happy with this chapter since I always sucked at writing intros. About the japanese, I don't know japanese, but since I watched the show in sub, I write the story with the Japanese term from the sub instead of their english translation. Time skip coming up in the next chapter and later in the story, I may ask you guys for opinions on how the story should go since I only have the first few chapters and certain later ones mapped out.

Feedbacks appreciated(including constructive criticism) but no flames.
