Chapter 2!
Yeah! The girls will begin their classes and sports, meet nice people, meet mean people, and most of all, learn something new...as the chapters go. According to them, learning something new is rare. Oh yeah, I think I'm going to stick to the US school system since that's the one I'm most familiar with. Sorry. And they arrived during lunch so this is their 5th period.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Prince of Tennis
People were buzzing around the classroom during their 5th period (A/N: For all the girls, it's their 5th period)...Well, not really buzzing, but they were talking. With a loud thump, the door slid open! And in came in...their sensei (teacher)! The class instantly stopped talking. Following behind him, were two girls. One was short. The other was average.
"Listen! These are our new students! Ichiko and Kuriko! Please welcome them!" thundered Kushi-sensei. The two girls bowed. "Now. Introduce yourselves."
"Ichiko. Have a little sister. I hate questions. Described as a liar. Questions?" Ichiko finished in a bored tone and stroke her silver eyes at the class, daring them to ask something. Nobody wanted to ask questions. But that didn't stop them of thinking questions.
'A liar? Why?'
'I hate how she acts so stuck up! Why not complete sentences like an intelligent person, moron?'
'What kind of little sister does she have?'
'...She seems nice...'
"Hello. My name is Kuriko. I'm Ichiko's friend. I love to try new things and discover them too. Please take care of me." Kuriko's brown-orange hair that was sticking out of her bun came down as she ended with a bow. The thoughts about her were a little more nicer.
'At least she didn't say she was a liar.'
'She doesn't seem stuck up...But she's friends with that girl...'
'Them being friends doesn't seem true. They totally look like opposites!'
'Oh gosh. Weird people again. Well, they seem like good wierd people. That's a bonus.'
"Okay. Choose any empty seat you see you two. Then, get out your textbooks and start following." The girls nodded at Kushi-sensei and went to any available seat. Kuriko found one next to a guy with black, long hair. She was seated behind a guy with brown hair, who was seated next to a guy with red hair. 'The guys around me look weird but...' She turned to the guy next to her. 'He totally reminds me of him...Luckily, their faces are totally different! Their hair though is a different story...'
With Ichiko though, she was seated next to a girl with short, dyed-yellow hair. She didn't seem to openly welcome Ichiko, and Ichiko could care less. In front of her, there were two guys. One had black hair on top and brown hair on the bottom...Well, Ichiko had no idea how to describe him. So she turned her head to the next guy. He has wild brown hair and seemed to be wearing glasses... 'Damn...I got stuck with a bunch of weirdos...Then again, I always get stuck with the weirdos...'
"Everyone! This is Kyoshiko, Tamashi, and...no one else it seems!" The sensei of the class finished weirdly. Most of the class snickered at how he finished. He cleared his throat to get everyone's attention again. "Okay girls, introduce yourselves." Kyoshiko and Tamashi stepped forward.
"I'm Tamashi. A girl of nature. Beat up an animal, expect to get beat up by me! That's it." The look on her green eyes and her purple-black-braided hair to add to the threat made the students believe she wasn't kidding around. Everyone, mostly everyone, felt a chill on their spines. And it wasn't the tempurature's fault.
'...When did it get cold...?'
'I'm scared!'
'*sighs* Faker!'
'Wow...So cool!'
Before Kyoshiko spoke, she grabbed her blue-dyed hair that was behind her ears and puffed it out. Though it did not puff out. "Kyoshiko's my name, and nothing is my game! I'm just a spectator in the sidelines. Not really a performer. Done." This introduction was confusing. People wanted to asks questions, but they do not know how to word them. So they did what everyone else would have done, kept silent out loud...In their minds, not so much.
'I'm confused, apalled, and bewildered!'
'Spectator? Performer? Does she watch shows or something?'
'Pretty blunt...then again, they both seem blunt...'
'The new girls are so cool!'
"Girls, your class. My class, your new classmates. Make them feel welcome and get to know each other. Now girls, do you have something to say to the class?" The three girls looked at each other and slowly nodded.
"I'm Sarani. I take care of my teammates, and I do the difficult work." Sarani finished quickly, yet paceable as she was playing with her long silver hair. Before anyone could think anything, Tsunami introduced herself next.
"Hallo! I'm Tsunami! I love to move! I especially love to jump! Like a bunny! But if I move too much, I get attacks. But that doesn't stop me! Please take care of me!" Tsunami's shadowy crismon hair wildly followed her as she happily bowed to the class. As they heard her carefree tone, everyone started to soften up.
'She looks cute!'
'Weird. This girl reminds me of Kikumaru...But attacks? Interesting...'
'I love how happy she looks! I wish there were more people as happy as her.'
"Ugh! I hate how happy she is! Like she doesn't know about others' problems!'
"My name is Akare, as you can see from my hair. I love drawing the structures around me. Don't be alert if you see me drawing you." Her shiny hot pink eyes stared at the class.
'Drawing us? She thinks of us as structures?'
'I love her hair. It's so brilliant.'
'We shall compare notes someday.'
'Structures...rhymes with fractures...'
"Sakuno-chan, introduce yourself. Make it brief," commanded the sensei. Sakuno nodded understandingly.
"Good evening, my name is Sakuno. I have an older sister. I'm the youngest out of the team my sister leads, but I am as powerful as them. That is all." Sakuno bowed as she finished, her long un-braided auburn hair falling from her head to in front her face.
"Sit next to Echizen. Echizen! Raise your hand!" Ryoma was woken up from his secret sleep. He lazily raised his hand. Sakuno went to him and sat down next to him, not saying a word. Everyone was apalled that she didn't say anything to THE Echizen Ryoma. Then again, she did just barely transfered.
'Amazing...she didn't say anything to him...'
'She's weird.'
'AHHH! No one ignores MY Ryoma-sama!'
'*Sighs* Hope nothing goes violent...'
"New student people. Welcome her. Don't bully her. Girl, introduce yourself." Yuka-sensei lazily said this to the class. And all the while reading a magazine.
"Ayumi. The bluntest of all. I get frustrated as fast as lightning. Careful with me." Only a few were paying attention. The rest were just minding their own business. The ones who were paying attention really had nothing to think of this pacific intro.
'Uh-huh. What's next?'
'Not a sugar-coater at least.'
'Ah...Ah...'
'At least she's fast...'
After School (A/N: Sports start 15 minutes later after the bell rings)
Ichiko was on a table in the courtyard, leaning back in a chair, eyes closed.
"Taichou!" Ichiko grudgingly woke up. Kyoshiko and Tsunami were walking towards her. She glared at them.
"What?" Kyoshiko was taken aback while Tsunami rolled her peachy eyes and told Ichiko why they woke her up.
"It's time for the sports! I'm taking archery and track/field. I'm also going to see if they have a flexibility club! And Kyoshiko here wants to do baseball and badmitton! What are you going to do?"
Immediately, Ichiko answered. "Nothing. Don't want to bother." Kyoshiko and Tsunami looked at each other. Neither surprised at her reply.
"Everyone! Hi." The girls stared at Akare as she walked over to them. Kyoshiko greeted her. And Tsunami excitedly asked the same question she asked Ichiko.
"What sports are you going to do? Do you know what the others are going to do too?" Akare took some time in thinking the sports the others told her awhile back.
"Well...Ayumi said she was doing soccer and ultimate frisbee. Tamashi wants to do cross country, dodgeball, and football. Sarani is thinking of rugby and fencing. Kuriko...I'm not sure yet. And I am planning to do ping-pong and skiing." Akare stopped and slowly said, "And Sakuno..." Akare witnessed Ichiko's head shot up as did the other two girls. Akare continued. "She's doing tennis and basketball." Kyoshiko, Tsunami, and Akare glanced at Ichiko to observe her next action. Ichiko looked up to Akare.
"Which is she doing first?" Ichiko exploded as she unsuccessfully tried to supress her voice. Kyoshiko shrinked back. Tsunami had a hurt look in her eyes. Only Akare was staying passively stood.
"Tennis." Ichiko jolted up, which caused her chair to smack to the ground, and sprinted to where the sport called tennis was at. Kyoshiko and Tsunami looked at Akare, wondering why she told their taichou that.
"Uh, Akare-san?" Akare turned to Kyoshiko. When Kyoshiko saw her face though, she widened her eyes. Akare had a very scared look on her face. Kyoshiko stayed silent.
"Sakuno! SAKUNO! Where are you my baby?" People all around got scared at the voice they heard screaming outside. Ichiko was aimlessly walking around, shouting Sakuno's name. A few aimless...es walks later, she arrived to the tennis courts. But her, being Ichiko, did not know that the courts were what she was looking for. So she continued shouting until she bumped into something. Knowing it was not a wall, she glared and looked up! When she looked up, she met her eyes. Far from the same color. But something in them made her feel her own eyes. She averted her gaze to his hair. She recgonized him somewhere...Oh well. Luckily, Ichiko knew how to keep her glared even if she was startled.
"What do you want? Out. Of. My. Way!" The guy did not say anything. But after a few moments, he spoke.
"Stop shouting. You are selfishly interrupting the other sports and mine as-" Ichiko interrupted the guy by grabbing the his shirt by his collar and pulling him down to her eye level. Though, Ichiko had to jump because he was waaaayyyy taller than her.
"Yeah. You said it yourself. Self. Ish. Ly. Which means, I was, and still am, aware of my actions. And guess what, I don't care!" Ichiko glared at his eyes through his glasses. He kept up with her glare. Everyone who was spectating watched the scene with shock equalling as a heavily understatement. Ichiko spoke again, "I'll tell you something. I won't kill you. Leave me alone. You won't get killed. I keep shouting. We live happily ever after. Deal?" The guy went furious. He gripped her wrist none so gently and pulled her hand away from his shirt. Ichiko was taken ashock as she found out how strong he was.
"No deal. You have no right to make those type of threats!" Ichiko also got furious and began to pull back, but he wasn't budging a bit.
"You'll pay for this! By-"
"Onee-sama!" Ichiko abruptly stopped her second threat when she heard that voice. Sakuno was standing a few yards away from them. Ichiko's eyes softened for a while, but then went back to her previous glare.
"Sakuno! Akare told me you were going to do a sport! Is that true?" The long-forgotten spectators shut their ears at her loud voice. They never knew that a little person can shout that loud. Ichiko once again tried to take back her hand. She obviously failed. "Damn guy! Can't you let go?"
"Onee-sama! Stop it!" Sakuno shouted, which caused everyone to look at her. Including Ichiko and her restrainer. "You have no right to yell at Tezuka-bucchou (captain)! He was only doing his job! You were interrupting the practice! He, as captain, has to make sure his team practices! Like you! You make sure that we're all all right even if you don't show it!" Sakuno was panting as she saw Tezuka-bucchou and Ichiko's expressions. Tezuka-bucchou stayed calm. Ichiko was the one that was feeling guilty. She let her worry of Sakuno get the best of her. Ichiko stopped fighting the Tezuka guy, and Tezuka noticed. He cautiously let her go and glanced at her as she walked toward Sakuno.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry!" Ichiko yelled as she hugged Sakuno. Sakuno sighed and hugged her back.
"Bravo...bravisimo!" Out of nowhere, Kuriko appeared and was clapping. The spectators stared at her weirdly. She glared at them. "What? Don't you know a good scence from a unusual drama?" This time, the spectators were too scared too be confused. They clapped along. Kuriko walked towards Ichiko and Sakuno. "But seriously Ichiko, you went over the line. You threatened a guy in front of-" Ichiko put her hand on Kuriko's mouth.
"Shut up!" Ichiko yelled. Then in a soft whisper, she whispered, "I whispered the threat to him! I didn't announce it and no one knew...until now!"Ichiko yelled the last part. Both girls looked around to see everyone gossiping. Here are some of them.
"She threatened THE Tezuka!"
"No girl EVER had the guts to threaten him! Let alone TALK to him!"
"Now that you metion it, she kinda reminds me of Tezuka..."
"How so? He's stern. She's just plain mean!"
And so the gossips flew around them. As the gossiping grew louder, Tezuka glared at everyone of them. He barked, "Everyone, including the people just around, 100 laps!" No one moved. "NOW!" Everyone ran except Sakuno, Kuriko, and Ichiko. Sakuno went over to Tezuka.
"Tezuka-bucchou. I'm sorry for the scences we have caused." Sakuno bowed to him. Tezuka stared at her.
"Run the laps, and I'll let them slip by." At this declaration, Sakuno nodded and was about to follow the group of people when she was stopped. By her older sister. Ichiko looked up to him.
"Oh no you don't! You can't make my sister run la-" Ichiko felt a tap on her shoulder. "What?" Kuriko pointed to the direction Sakuno was running. Ichiko yelled after her, "Hey! Come back!" The three looked as Sakuno caught up to the group of people. Ichiko turned back to Tezuka raising an eyebrow.
"You don't expect me to run with them right?" Ichiko asked in an angry voice. Kuriko rolled her eyes and pulled Ichiko along. "Hey! Let go! Don't expect me to be ordered around! Not you either!" As Ichiko was pulled along, she averted her gaze to Tezuka. "Listen...This isn't the end! I'll be back!" All Tezuka did was stare after her.
As everyone were running the laps, they started to make short, hardly called, conversations. The regulars were at the front of course. The spectators were struggling and at the back.
"That girl was weird! Don't you think so too Oishi?" Kikumaru asked as he jogged along with his partner.
"Eiji!" Oishi said in a disapproving voice. "It's impolite to call someone weird." Inui caught up with them.
"She's from the new girls that just transferred. They act too...strange." Fuji, who was next to Inui and Ryoma, spoke a true statement.
"Saa...they seem very unusual for a normal person. Making threats and shouting I mean." They nodded.
"But, I don't think it's wise to judge them based on off of one person. They all seem different," Kawamura stated as he ran next to Inui. And this time, everyone thought about it.
"Kawamura-senpai's right! Even if one of them was confusing, that doesn't mean the rest are." Momoshiro came running beside them.
"What are you talking about Momoshiro?" Oishi asked in response to Momoshiro's statement.
"Two of the new people are in my 5th period class. One of them who has blue hair, claimed to be a 'spectator' and not a 'performer'. The other girl threatened to beat up people who beat up animals..." Fuji opened his eyes in interest.
"Did they really say that?" Kaidoh, who appeared next to Ryoma, answered his question.
"Fshh. They did. I have the same class with Momoshiro in 5th period, unfortunately. I heard what they said." Momo turned his head to Kaidoh and yelled at him.
"What did you say viper? You wanna fi-"
"Momo-senpai! Look out!" Ryoma interrupted and warned. But it was too late. When Momoshiro looked at what Ryoma was warning, he had already bumped into the warning. Which was, an innocent tree. Kaidoh smirked as Momoshiro fainted.
"Good luck!" Kaidoh yelled. Everyone left Momoshiro behind. Not because they were cruel and heartless. But because they had laps to finish.
Kikumaru turned to Ryoma. "Hey ochibi (little guy)! What do you think about the new people?" Ryoma faced the ground and looked up. The regulars, minus Momoshiro of course, waited in anticipation for his answer. His answer was not what they were expecting although some did see it coming.
"Mada mada dane."
Chapter 2 finished! Finally! Don't worry people. The regulars will get more screentime and more stuff is going to happen as time goes on. I don't think I'm forgetting anything. If you guys are confused, tell me so I can clear things up. Well, ja ne!
