"Hatori!!" all the girls said at school. Yuki found himself the next day at Hatori's school. It was much bigger than his and had more sport opportunities. Apparently Hatori was very popular at his school too, thought Yuki trying to get away from the crowd of girls. "Ok people step aside. Hatori's best friend coming through." Said a girl, pushing her way through the crowed.
Yuki thought that it was Tohru at first, but then noticed that she was way out going to be Tohru. "For being gone for a month, you look pretty good. But how come you changed you're hair color? Red looked good on you." She said with some kind of accent. Apparently she was American, for her voice didn't sound like a Japanese accent.
The bell rang and everyone went off to class. Luckily Yuki found Hatori's schedule. He had similar classes like Yuki. But the only differences were that Hatori had an art class, and at off-hour he had tennis practice. It had to be tennis, a sport that I barely know anything about. He thought with a frown on his face.
At off-hour Yuki finally found his way to the guy's locker room. It was full with the other tennis players. "Hey guy's, Hatori is back!" a guy with a bandana on his head said to the others. Yuki half smiled, and waved to everyone.
He found Hatori's locker, but had no idea what the combination was. He looked around and saw a tall, black haired guy tying is shoes. "Um…do you know what the combination is?" Yuki asked. He looked up, "I heard that you lost you're memory, but I didn't know that it was true." He got up and walked over to Yuki. "So I'll introduce you everyone, again. I'm Kyoshi the captain of the tennis team. Those two over there are Riku and Kikuyu. Over there there's Fai, Lewis, and Toyo. And that is Roué. And including you, we all make up the tennis team here." The coach called into the room, "You guys better get out here pronto, or it's 100 laps around the city!"
Kyoshi got the locker open for Yuki and ran out the door. The others followed with Yuki not far behind. "Ok everyone, the game against Yulee High is in two days and each and every one of you better do well today. Now here is who you will be playing today…" The coach started pairing people together. Yuki was paired up with Fai, who was called 'the magician'. He was known for his serves and shots to "disappear".
Yuki gulped walking over to the court that Fai was on. "Ah, Hatori, its so good to see you back. I hope you have been working on that snake coil shot, I've been waiting to see you do it against me." He said with a smile on his face. Fai had blond hair, blue eyes, and was the tallest player out of everyone.
Yuki smiled back, Snake coil shot?!? I have no idea what that is?!? Panicked Yuki. Fai served the ball. The ball was coming right at Yuki. He held up his racket to block the shot, but saw that the ball landed in front of him. Fai looked at Yuki weird, and Yuki gave an embarrassing look. Fai got out another ball from his pocket and served it again. This time Yuki ran for the ball and hit the ball before the next bounce. The ball went over the net and the game slowly started.
Yuki still had no clue what he was doing. He mainly just kept on hitting the ball into the green areas of the court and avoided the red. In the middle of the game, Yuki noticed that Fai changed the holding of his racket. When the ball got over to him, he hit the ball, and Yuki saw the ball disappeared. This is the shot he's known for! Where did the ball go?
Yuki looked around quickly to find the ball. Fai smiled at Yuki's panicking. I knew he would do this. He thought. Yuki didn't find the ball in time to duck it from hitting his face. Fai then noticed something, "Hatori, I saw that you were nervous," he started when Yuki sat up on the ground. "Don't you usually turn into a snake about now?" Fai asked.
Yuki looked at Fai. Fai walked over to him and took his jaw. "Ow," Yuki said. Yuki was thinking of either taking his tennis racket and smacking him with it or starting a karate fight. Either way, Yuki couldn't prevent Fai saying, "You aren't Hatori."
A/N: This chapter I sort of took other things from other manga. I took a few ideas from Prince of Tennis. And I also took the idea of Fai from Tsubasa Chronicle. (He just doesn't have magic)
A/N: In the next chapter I won't write about it, but everyone except the coach of the tennis team knows that Hatori and his family can turn into animals.
