((sorry about the long wait but here's chapter 2 thank you for review to the previous chapter and I hope that you'll enjoy this one))
Disclaimer: I still don't own Prince of Tennis and the fact is that i probably never will breaks down and cries the humanity!!!!
Man, I forget just how scary Hinote can be when you get her riled up.
I'm Koori, by the way, Mathews, Koori and I just got to Japan by some random spark of good luck! I'm soooooooo super excited but as usual Hinote remains indifferent even in a foreign country.
Here's where you insert your sweat drop people.
Oh yeah, back to what happen earlier today at the park.
The tall guy grabbed my arm and totally freaked me out by looking at me like I was a piece of meat and he was some hungry wolf who hadn't had a decent meal in ages.
I was tempted to scream my head off but I refrained from doing so.
So after Hinote opened her mouth and got fresh with the guy for grabbing me.
I think she said something smart like
"We'll be leaving now so please let Koori go before this has to get ugly"
Then Echizen showed up acting cool and heroic in his own way. It's hard to explain even with my intelligence.
"Excuse me" the voice of our savoir, well mine, more than Hinote's anyways.
He had a soda in one hand and briefly took a sip from it.
"Yeah squirt, what is it that you want can't you see we are a bit busy here." said the tall guy gruffly.
"Yeah you fixin' to start something!" said another. I could quite see his face seeing as how that tall guy I mentioned earlier was holding on really tight. Oh yeah, and he was tall.
"Congrats on your match Echizen" I said despite myself with a smile and a small wave. I like to stay on the bright side of things I suppose. Someone has to; especially when their best friend is Hinote.
"Hm" he said tilting his cap with the hand that was once in his pocket.
"You too loud and you're in the way" said Echizen coolly.
I would have face faulted but yeah tall guy…
Hinote looked at him and smirked just a bit. It got me a bit scared she can be very creepy at times.
"Well you hear the guy get out of the way and let go of Koori" Said Hinote. They were up to something I just didn't know what. I hate not knowing what's going on right around me it's so frustrating.
Next thing I know, I'm not exaggerating by the way. The tall guy lets me go and Echizen as dodging all his blows. This is the time is when my head is going from left to right trying to keep up with what's going on. Because Hinote is basically beating the living daylights out of all the other guys and preventing them from jumping in.
Sometimes I felt so useless Hinote's always the one sticking up for me and yet I can do nothing for her. I act all bubble headed sometimes but that's all just a show sort of like how she's always acting tough and indifferent but sometimes, sometimes things like this get me really depressed.
Echizen was doing a pretty good job at dodging still sipping his soda too. The tall guy was getting pretty peeved by it all to and by this time had managed to land a blow right on his left cheek that would defiantly leave a bruise. But instead of stay down he brushed it off and smirked before saying
"Mada mada dane" and then he pulled out his Tennis racket and took a ball out of his pocket and that ball went flying right between that tall guy eyes after twisting on the floor weirdly. Wait a second that's where I remember him from he was… then that meant that just now he just did a wicked twist serve on that tall guy.
It was odd though how the tall guy had tired himself out so much that it gave Echizen the perfect opening to knock him out. I think that maybe he planned it all along. Pretty smart of him.
But Back to Hinote. I looked over at her and found her walking over to me to check my arm.
"You have got to be more careful Koori" she said looking at me with soft eyes
"Lets go you need to put some ice on that." She siad turning away and beginning to walk
"Thank you Echizen-san" I said with a small bow before heading after her.
He just continued to walk in Hinote's direction.
Guess they are a lot alike in that respect.
I jogged to catch up with them since they were headed to the same place after all.
We finally got there thank goodness, the silence was making me very uncomfortable.
At the Echizen estate I was force into the kitchen quite roughly by Hinote, who was mumbling about how easy she took it on those guys, and that she better not see them again or they'd get another beating.
I was scared for them. I was never on the receiving end on one of her fights and I hope to all the powers above that I never am. The possibility alone is enough to make me shiver.
"Is it really that cold?" said Hinote
"Huh?" I said not knowing what she was revering to.
"The Ice space cadet is it that cold? You're shivering." she said with a slightly raised eyebrow
"Oh ahhh that" I said while scratching the back of my head and laughing
"Oi Echizen" said Hinote
"hm" he inquired while entering the kitchen.
" sit down and let me have a look at your shiner" said Hinote.
"don't need it" said Echizen before turning to walk away
"happy Koori? I offered" she said like I had actually suggested it.
I didn't bother to say anything it didn't look like she was in the best of moods today. Not like I was I was in a foreign country with my best friend the possibilities for adventure were endless. I had fun today despite the obvious danger and my slight injury that Hinote insisted upon making a big fuss out of. The truth is under her exterior she is really a nice and caring person. I think that's why she's my friend and I'm glad that I'm one of those people who get to see that side of her.
Echizen left the kitchen and went to the living room to watch TV.
He was watch tennis I think. Or that's what it sounded like from the kitchen anyways.
"It's getting late I'll walk you over to Fuji-sempai's house" said Hinote.
"awwww, I wanted to stay a bit longer" I said with a pout.
"fine then stay but you have to help me pack" she said with a smirk.
Man I starting to have a real problem with that smirk.
So I helped her unpack and she was telling about her first impression of the tennis team and how she didn't see why all of them had to come get us at the airport. I laughed she always made me laugh with her weird way of thinking.
"You know I really wanted to hit that tall guy at least once now I've got a grudge against Echizen for stealing my chance to do so." she said in a joking manner.
"Poor Echizen-san I'd hate to be in his place." I said with a laugh
"Like that could ever possibly happen in this universe, maybe in a parallel one" she said Sarcastically.
" Yeah" I said with a smile.
Something that I've always found strange is the fact that even though Hinote and I are so different we never had a fight in the whole time that we were friends.
We ended up only finishing about half of her stuff before she walked me to Feji-sempai's house.
I did after all have my own stuff to pack and I hadn't exactly meet all of Fuji-sempai's family yet either. I had meet his sister and his parents but I had yet to meet his brother who was supposed to be coming home today.
I do wonder what he'll be like. Hinote decided to stay for dinner since she was already there so she ended up returning the favor and helping to finish my unpacking. Unlike her I had already started so we were done relatively quickly.
"I still say his smile is creepy" mumbled Hinote which resulted in a mild scolding from me.
Lets skip dinner that night it was pretty normal and Fuji-sempai's brother didn't end up showing after all.
It was Monday! Do you have any idea what that means?! SCHOOL!!!! I love SCHOOOL!!
I know, I know that comment coming from a kid or any normal person sounds weird but it's true.
I woke up extra early to ensure that I was on time and prepared so after triple checking my book bag I went down stairs. Perhaps I'd make breakfast. I mean not only was I going to school but it was in a foreign country! Man was I in a good mood this Monday.
I found my way to the kitchen and made myself at home. Maybe I really shouldn't have but I did and I made a cool breakfast western style of course. I wasn't too familiar with a traditional Japanese breakfast considering that I haven't had one in years.
I surprised everyone with breakfast and I apologue for not asking first which I should have. Fuji-sempai and I walk to school together that morning I knew I was going to be early but that didn't matter. So after checking my bag 3 more times and walking to school I waited for Hinote to show up. I had nothing better to do so I watched the morning training that was going in the tennis club.
I really like tennis even though I'm not good at sports. It's fun to watch and simple to understand. When Hinote used to play I'd help her come up with strategies and that was enough to keep me happy maybe I could help them with their training too. Just thinking about it is enough to get me excited!
So I was basically jumping in place because of my impatience. I could hardly wait to meet my new teachers and being learning…in a foreign country. Hinote, I guess had decided to walk to school by herself because Echizen-san had shown up with out her. I pouted.
'She left me to wait all alone! How ever will I entertain my self' I thought drastically
Still shuffling around anxiously I was soon joined by Eiji-sempai.
"You seem anxious today." he commented while upside down.
"I am I can't wait for school to start and Hinote to get here!" I replied
He smiled his cute, and what Hinote called cat like, smile and I laughed.
"Hey what class are you in anyways?" he asked while standing upright again.
"Hm… I think it was 2A, let's have a look at my schedule" I said while digging into my bag excitedly.
"Yup good ol' 2A" I said with a smile of my own.
"hoi hoi I think that's the same class as Momo-chan and Kaidoh" he said taking my schedule to review it.
((well that's all for now see how the first day of school goes next time and guess who's POV it'll be in next time? Do I really need Hypnosis you'll review right?))
