Disclaimer-I don't own anyone in this fanfic except for Yuki and the fangirls and Suki.

The sun was glaring down onto Seishun Gakuen. The excitement was wild and everyone was waiting for the match to start. On one side of the green courts was Yuki Sakurai, the legendary girls who managed to bend the 'boy's team' rule and helped Seigaku get further in the tournament. On the other was Echizen Ryoma, the short kid who had gotten famous in half an hour. The fangirls were crazy from looking at the regulars for too long.

"He-he is just too handsome!" Kimi squealed.

"I know! He is just the perfect guy!"Mika replied.

"I mean, imagine him in black with his shirt open and his arms showing and as a gangster! Sooooo cool!"

"KYAAA!"

Kimi and Mika turned around. There they were in their pink glory, the team of dedicated loyal fan girls they had recruited.

"Miichi present!"

"Yuko too!"

"Nana reporting in!"

"Good, now that we are all here, your ever so wonderful leader has a few words to say to you."

"Ahem. It is now a brand new year. This time we must succeed in protecting our school's national treasures. Let's hope we stick together and fight our enemies to the very end!"

"Yes!"

"Kimi-sama! After you graduate the chief will most definitely be me right?"

"And after that, it will be my turn!"

"Yeah whatever." "As long as I get to be with Fuji-sama that's ok," she thought.

"The final match will now begin!"

Echizen tossed the ball up into the air and served it. Yuki was to the ball in a flash.

"She's fast, very fast!" he thought.

They rallied for some time and no one was showing anything spectacular.

Oishi looked at his watch.

"It's been twenty minutes."

"This is not like Yuki-chan at all!" Eiji grumbled.

"Sakurai-san to serve."

"He's not bad," she though. "But not good enough."

Yuki threw the ball up high and quickly brought her racket down. Reacting to the movement, Echizen quickly moved to the left.

"Wait a second," he thought. "There's no ball here!"

He watched with wide eyes as she brought her racquet down once more. The yellow ball bounced to the right.

"Not bad…"

Ryoma was fooled several times by this trick. It was impossible to tell whether she was going to wait or not.

"Game and match, Sakurai!"

"Yay! Go Yuki-chan! She finally perfected her timing gap trick!"

"Che. Mada mada dane."

Yuki giggled."Well you're different!"

She walked up to the net and whispered in perfect English, "Same goes for you too, Samurai-san!"

Echizen merely lowered his cap and strolled away.

"Congrats Yuki!"

"But now we have too many regulars," noticed Fuji.

"They can be stand-ins."

All of them turned to Yuki.

"Why not? They tried their best!" she said with a smile.

A second later, the regulars were surrounded with girls waving notepads, lipstick and who knows what.

"Geez," Echizen murmured as he tried to pull free."

"STOOOOOOOOOOOOP!"

Everyone froze.

"Ahem. We are the school's official fangi- I mean protection squad for our Seigaku team," Kimi announced. "No-one, I repeat no-one is allowed to-"

She was immediately swarmed by the rest of the school and disappeared from sight. Every person looked around but the regulars had disappeared.

"Ahaha! Thank you so much Ryuzaki sensei!" laughed Momo.

"Yeah, we just managed to escape!" added Taka-san.

"Now, Yuki, please tell us all about your competition." Fuji smiled.

Yuki pulled out a small trophy from her bag.

"First place but it was a very small competition, so it doesn't really count."

"As expected from the person who bent the all boys rule." Tezuka added. "But don't let your guard down."

"Hai!" everyone chorused.

"Let's aim for nationals!"

Yuki came out of the shower, hair still dripping and changed into a cute sun dress. She was proud to be able to play with the regulars. She had always been offended that boys played tennis separately from girls. She had gone through a lot to be able to abolish the rule. Although there was some commotion, she still managed to persuade the coordinators. There was one rule though; the male regulars could filter out the best girls to play on the team. Various schools now had one or more female players who could match up to the boys.

"That Ryoma is really interesting," she commented to herself.

She sat all alone in her apartment. Because she had left for America with an uncle a few years back, she returned to find that her mother had gone. Using money she had won from several competitions, she managed to enjoy quite a luxurious living.

"Kunimitsu!!"

An adorable, first year girl ran up to give her big brother a hug.

"Guess what! Atobe buchou finally let me on the team! Thank you so much for helping me!"

"You should thank Yuki, if it wasn't for her, no girl would be able to play on the same level as us."

"Ne, Yuki-chan is really cute right? Then can you marry her so she can play with me and teach me tennis and be my big sister?"

"No."

"Awwww! Why not?"

"No is no, Suki."

He closed the door and blocked Sumi out.

"Okaaaaaaa-saaaaaan! Kunimitsu's being mean to me!!"

There was a strange girl following him and Ryoma did not like it at all. Those obnoxiously long pigtails were really annoying him and the fact that there was another girl as well was even stranger.

"If they're trying to hide, it's not working…mada mada dane."

Sakuno and Tomoyo were stalking the cool 'Ryoma-sama'. It was Tomoyo's idea but she was the type of girl who dragged everyone into doing things like this.

"Ne, Sakuno, do you think Ryoma-sama lives in a mansion or in a hut?" she whispered.

"I-I don't really know…"

They crept to another bush.

"Ne, Sakuno, do you think Ryoma-sama eats rice or noodles for dinner?"

"I-I don't really know…"

They darted around a tree.

"Ne, Sakuno, do you think Ryoma-sama has many pairs of socks?"

"I-I don't really know…"

They took a shortcut under a bridge.

"Ne, Sakuno, do you think Ryoma-sama-AHHH!"

"Fssssssh….What are you doing here?"

A very annoyed Kaidoh frowned down at them. They had disrupted his ritual of extensive and important training.

"We're so sorry!"

A whirlwind of dust swirled behind them as they sped away. Feeling slightly hurt, he wondered why people always ran away when they saw him…
