'Whew.Early morning sure make me thirty'
Eiji though slipping his coins into the coke machine. The sun shone brightly as a female voice ring out.
"Hideki get back here."
Eiji turned his head slowly while pushing then he pushed a button. The sun block the view of the person and all he could see was a black cat, with green eyes and a lite white fur on the top of its head, running toward Eiji. Behind it was girl yelling.
"Hideki please stop."
Hideki jumped on Eiji's face leaving claw marks every where. This cause Eiji to lose his balance and he fell as his soda fell into the pocket of the machine. With a loud thud Eiji landed on his back staring up at the sky.
"Hideki WA-"
The female tripped over Eiji and fell on top of him. Eiji could see her red hair fall to her shoulders and her chest rise and fall rapidly, her breath hitting the top of his nose. He also notice she wore the female school uniform of his school. He looked up but the her eyes where covered by a shadow.
"Kikamaru... are...you...OK?"
He watched her Rosy lips say, inhaling between each word. His brain froze over and couldn't think. It felt like hours but she only land on him for a few seconds. Before he could say anything she had gotten up and dashed off where Hideki went, yelling
"I"m sorry"
Eiji rose to his feet and grabbed his soda.
'wonder who the girl was?'
"Hey Eiji whats taking you so long."
He heard Oishi say running up to him. Eiji just turned to him and said
"you won't believe me."
Zyta looked at her watch then at the street.
"Where could she be?"
She looked over at Juno who was she her spinning around holding Hideki up high singing.
"Your a cute kitty. Who's a cute kitty?"
"nyaa nyaa"
Hideki meowed.
"Could you two stop that. it's creepy."
Zyta shouted blood vessels appearing on her forehead.
"Oh don't worry Raya will be fine. Its not like she tripped over any one."
Juno said waving her hand in a shewing motion as if to say 'i don't care at the moment' before rubbing noses with Hideki .
"How did you know?"
Juno tuned to see Raya standing beside her. in surprise she screamed throwing Hideki in the air.
"Hideki !"
all three girls shouted. Hideki landed with little sound onto Tezuka's head.
"Nyaa nyaaaaaaa"
"Hello Hideki "
he said pulling the black cat off his head and handing her to Raya.
"What the hell do you what!"
Raya growled snatching Hideki from Tezuka, her eyes never blinking.
with a sigh Tezuka answer her regrettably.
"You can play on Seigaku if you want."
"whaaaaaat?! hold on your pulling my leg right."
Tezuka just shook his head.
"I bet I have to do something before I play or have you around."
He shook his head again.
"Whats with the sudden change of heart. you never let your ...um"
Zyta stopped mid sentence seeing Raya looking at her, her eyes screaming
'don't say that word'
"I mean you never let Raya played in sports ever since I can remember."
Zyta crossed her arms , her eyes looking to him hope this was a really bad joke.
"Let's just say three little birds changed my mind."
he said walking off to the tennis courts.
"three birds who could he mean"
Juno ponder her pinkie in her mouth looking up to the sky for an answer.
'your lucky Raya, not mainly people I know would stand up for you like that.'
Tezuka thought as the memory of early morning ran through his mind.
He was deciding how practice would go today after school when Echizen knocked on the door.
"Capitan I would like to request some one-"
before he could get the rest out Momo can screeching in.
"captain I think Raya Sakashi should at least train with the team."
"Momo i was about to ask that."
"her name is Rayako."
"what?"
the lower class man said snapping at their mental fight.
"her name is Rayako..."
Tezuka was stopped by sound of Raya's voice echoing through his mind.
'you better not tell them. if you do I'll.. I'll. well you know. they should know nothing about us at all cost.'
"your about to say Rayako Sakashi can not play due to doctor orders. right Tezuka."
Fuji said leaning against the door frame. his usual happy smile on his face
"yes."
"is she that sick?"
Momo asked
"before we go any farther, I to think she should train with the train."
Fuji said handing Tezuka a paper.
"and I believe you will agree to after reading this."
the paper read:
'From : Dr. Hausu
we were unable to find a donor with the right blood type for Raya and we have conclude from the test results that the virus as spread farther along and if the surgery not done soon she will only live for six mouth at least.'
Tezuka crumbled the paper up and slammed his hand in the near by wall. after some time of silence he let out a sigh.
"we'll see what Ryuuzaki-Sensei says."
After school Raya rushed to the courts already changed and ready to play. all day she wanted to play and got yelled by the teachers to stop daydreaming and solve the next problem. that didn't matter now it was tennis time.
"nyaaaa nya"
Hideki meow trying to catch up.
"yeah what she said. wait up."
Juno called out even father behind.
"see ya."
Raya waved disappearing in a cloud of smoke. Juno fell to her knees clasping her lungs trying to catch her breath.
"for someone thats sick she sure can run fast."
Zyta walked up next to the clasped chest girl with a look of concern in her eyes but a slit smile on her face.
"yeah but when it come to anything tennis she could run a Marathon."
Zyta sighed before helping Juno up and helping her walk the rest of the way.
Come on Juno we have to make sure the little one doesn't hurt herself.
"Hey guys"
Raya yelled running into to the courts. everyone stopped what they were doing seeing Raya stand there.
"Raya."
Momo shouted running up to her.
"I see Tezuka and Ryuuzaki-Sensei let you join."
"I'm guessing I have you and Ryoma to thank."
"Well..."
Momo rubbed the back of his head
"you should really thank Fuji. he's the one who got Tezuka to talk to Ryuuzaki-Sensei"
Ryoma said appearing behind Momo.
"shorty!"
Raya screamed grabbing Ryoma and putting he in a death hug while rubbing her cheek against his.
"don't call me shorty."
he manged to mumble. as fast as Raya had grabbed him she let go and ran over to ware Eiji and Oishi were.
"hey Kikumaru I'm sorry about this morning."
Eiji was a little confess but the way her hair fell to her shoulder and her rosy lips moved it came bad to him in a flash.
"its OK."
"Oh something happened between Kikumaru and Raya."
Ryoma smirked. Raya narrowed her eyes at him then waked him on the head with her racket.
"not what your thinking its just that Hideki-"
"nya nyaaaa"
"makes me run to school every day and-"
everyone looks up to see Hideki on top of Raya's head. Raya grabs her and looks her in the eyes.
"how many time have I told you to stay with Juno."
"Nya"
with a deep sigh Raya looked around to see Kaidoh walking past their little group.
"hey Kaidoh can you hand Hideki to Juno on you way out thank you."
Kaidoh help the cat in the palm of his hand. not really sure who Juno was. walking out he saw a talk girl and a much shorter girl watching the courts.
"here"
he said extending his hands.
"oh thank you thank you."
Juno cried spinning around hold Hideki little no tomorrow. she place a small kiss on Kaidoh's cheek causing to blush. then he walked top the court his brain on kiss break down.
Every one got in to row the youngest in front and oldest in back as Tezuka and Ryuuzaki came out. Raya ran up to Tezuka side.
"OK every one."
Ryuuzaki called out.
"we have a new train parter with us. her name is-"
"Rayako Sakashi, but you can Call me Raya"
Raya interrupted saluting the team members.
'well she certainly a lively girl the opposite of Tezuka'
Ryuuzaki thought a little chuckle escaped her lips.
" OK to day Eiji vs. Oishi. Tezuka vs. Momoshiro, Echizen vs. Kaidoh, Inui vs. Kawamura, and Raya vs.Arai"
"What!?"
Raya and Arai scream in unison.
"thats the schedule got a problem with it?"
Ryuuzaki spoke with anger in her vice her eye narrow sending chills up Arai and Raya's spine.
Both got into Poisson. Aria's sever.
'I can't believe I have to go up a lower class man.'
Raya scream in her mind.
'I can't be beat by a women.'
Aria though.
'I will win this!'
both minds screamed their eyes locked onto each other. defeat was not an option in their minds.
