Normal POV
Yuuki woke up the next morning really tired.
"It must have been late when we got back." She said stretching.
After she was fully awake she went down stairs to the kitchen to get something to eat.
"Good morning." She said loudly so everyone could here but there was no answer.
She looked at the refrigerator to see a note.
The note read: "Yuuki we had to go to work early today, your breakfast is on the table. See you tonight! Mom and dad."
She sighed as she through the note in the trash and went to the table to eat.
It's not like she wasn't used to being at home by her self. Since her parents were owners of a huge international company they were always going to work early, coming home late, and/or traveling around the world. To tell you the truth Yuuki didn't like her parents job at all. Sure they made a lot of money but they never spent any with her. They had moved about 20 times, and Yuuki had attended 15 different schools in 5 years.
They had just moved from America to Japan and she didn't know where a thing was!
Yuuki sighed again and got up from the table and put the dishes in the sink. The maid would be there later and clean them.
She went back to her new room, changed into her uniform, grabbed her book bag, and went out the door.
"Stupid skirt." She said trying to pull her skirt down. But if she pulled it down any father you would be able to see her underwear. She really wished the girls' uniforms had pants instead of skirts. She sighed for what seemed like the thousandth time today and made her way to the subway. Yuuki looked around not familiar with her surroundings and decided to ask someone for help.
"Excuse me but where is the subway?" She asked a man on the side of the road.
"Right in front of you." He said as if it was obvious.
Yuuki looked behind her and low and behold there was the subway.
"Oh! Um thank you and sorry for bothering you." She said with a small bow and walked toward the building. When she found the right subway train she went on and took a seat.
"Yuuki-Chan!" She heard and looked up; there stood the golden pair right in front of her. Eiji had already told Oishi about his and Yuuki's relation to each other.
"Oh hi!" She waved
"Hi!" Eiji responded. "I'm not sure if you've met all the regulars but this is Ois-"
"Oishi Shurichiro." She interrupted
"Vice captain of the boys tennis club special move moon volley." She added
"O-oh so I see you've met him." Eiji said
"No we haven't met I just know a lot about the Kantoe champions. You guys are pretty popular yah know." She said smiling.
"Nice to meet you." Oishi said reaching out his hand "And congratulations on joining the boys tennis club. No girl has ever done that before." He added.
Right when he said club Yuuki had a weird feeling in her chest, as if she was nervous. Was she nervous about joining the club?
"Arigatou" She said shaking his hand. "I hope I don't become a distraction to the club." She said looking a little down cast.
"I'm sure you won't be a dist-."But he was interrupted by the intercom saying they had arrived at there stop. So they got off and proceeded to the school.
They got there right before the bell and ran to class so they wouldn't be late.
They were scolded for almost being late but it didn't last long.
Through out the day Yuuki found herself day dreaming a lot. Not on anything in particular, but it all seemed to be centered on tennis. Whether it was one of her matches, or a pro match replaying in her head. She always seemed to be day dreaming about tennis.
When it was time for lunch everyone went to there friends. Eiji went to hang out with Fuji he invited her to come but she turned it down.
"Are you sure?" he asked. "It will give you a chance to meet more people. Since you will be seeing him a lot more since you a part of the club." He added.
Yuuki started feeling that weird felling in her chest again.
"O-ok ill say hi." She said
"Yay!" he said grabbing her hand and dragging her all the way to Fuji.
"Hey Fuji!" Eiji waved. "You know Yuuki!"
"Of course I know who the first girl to ever join the boys' tennis club is!" Fuji said with a smile. (sorry if that was a little out of character ^^;)
Yuuki started to feel that feeling in her chest again. "H-hi." She greeted.
"Nice to finally meet you." Fuji said.
"Likewise." Yuuki agreed.
They talked all through lunch getting to know each other. They also told Fuji the story of how there parents met.
When lunch was over they returned to there seats and class started again.
When the final class ended everyone started to leave.
"See you at tennis practice Yuuki!" Eiji said getting up from his seat. All of a sudden the weird feeling became worse! Yuuki's heart was beating like crazy, and her hands were shaking.
"Eiji wait!" Yuuki said grabbing his hand. Eiji looked at her concerned.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Ehhhh." Yuuki said trying not to say something stupid. "I-I forgot where the tennis courts are yah that's it." Yuuki said with a nervous laugh. She didn't mean to grab Eiji like that. It was like her body was moving by itself.
"Ah no problem!" Eiji said. "Ill take you there!"
"Arigatou." She said with a smile, relived that he didn't think she was crazy.
They left the class room and preceded towards the tennis courts.
When they reached there destination Eiji walked Yuuki to the dressing room.
"Uh Eiji." Yuuki said "you don't expect me to change in there do you? She asked
"Well yah that's where everybody chang- ohhhh yah I forgot. You're a girl." Eiji laughing.
"Uh yah, so where do I change?" She asked.
"Let's ask coach Ryuzaki." He said walking towards the boys' tennis coach.
"Oi! Coach Ryuzaki!" Eiji said waving.
"What is it Eiji? And why aren't you changed?" she asked sternly
"Uh yah Yuuki kinda needs someplace to change." Eiji said scratching the back of his head.
"hmmm." She said looking around for. "Follow me." She said gesturing for them to follow.
She took them to the boys changing room and knocked on the door. Oishi came to the door and asked them what was wrong.
"Is anybody undressed in there?" coach Ryuzaki asked.
"Um no but we are about to." He said. "Did something happen?" he asked
"Excuse me." Coach Ryuzaki said walking past Oishi and going into one of the cubbies. She pulled out a sheet and two pins. She then took the items and pinned the sheet to the top of the lockers. "there." She said. "Instant changing room, now nobody peek behind this cover because Yuuki is going to be changing behind it." She ordered. Some nodded while others turned a light shade of pink. Yuuki blushed, walked quickly behind the sheet, made sure there where no cracks where anybody could see and began changing. But unfortunately the light from the window showed through the white sheet so the boys could see right through! (They could only see he silhouette ^^; probably spelled that wrong.) Momoshiro jaw dropped to the floor and quickly turned Ryoma around so he couldn't see. Kaidoh turned a dark crimson and quickly turned away. Kawamura blushed and also turned around. Eiji and Oishi also blushed and turned the other way. Everyone else didn't notice. Yuuki, totally unaware of the situation put on the blue jacket and pants Coach Ryuzaki had given her.
"Can I come out now?" She asked
"J-just a minuet." Oishi said gesturing the others to hurry up.
"You can come out now." Oishi said as they all ran out the door.
Yuuki peeked behind the cover and walked out of the room.
When she came out a lot of people stared and her and blushed. Some completely disregarded her presences. Yuuki started feeling nervous and leaned on a wall. Fuji noticed Yuuki in the corner of his eye and walked over to talk to her.
"Are you ok?" he asked. "Practice doesn't start for another 5 minuets."
"Yah I know." She said looking away. "I feel kinda uncomfortable here I mean this is the boys' tennis club and people don't seem to like me being here." She said looking away.
"I see." Fuji said. "Here" he said reaching out his hand "let's go introduce you to the rest of the regulars."
Yuuki stared at his hand for a moment, smiled and then took it. Fuji helped her up and then led her to a corner where all the other regulars were.
"Minna." Fuji interrupted "I'm sure all of you already know Yuuki."
Yuuki waved. Most of them smiled, others laughed nervously recalling the previous event. It was quiet until Oishi broke the silence.
"So Yuuki where do you come from?" he asked
"Well I just came from the America but I'm originally from Kawasaki." She answered
"That's nice." Oishi said giving a small smile.
Yuuki smiled back still feeling a little uncomfortable being around all these boys. The group had a casual convocation until practice started.
"Ok everyone practice is about to start." Coach Ryuzaki yelled out.
Everybody lined up and waited for captain Tesuka's announcement.
"Minna the ranking tournaments will be held this Saturday. Practice hard and earn your way in to the regulars." He said
"hai." Everyone said in unison. "You are dismissed."
Everyone went their separate ways except Yuuki who didn't know where to go.
'Maybe I should go ask captain Tesuka or coach Ryuzaki.' She thought to her self.
She slowly approached the two a little embarrassed about not asking about this earlier.
"Excuse me." She asks "but what do the non regulars usually do?"
"Well all of the seniors are regulars so we can't put you in a senior group." Coach Ryuzaki answered. "But with your talent I wouldn't be surprised if you became a regular in the racking matches. But is wouldn't be fair to put you in the regular group so you will have to go in the junior group."
Yuuki was a little disappointed, but decided not to show it. She thanked them and proceeded toward where all the other club members in blue suits were.
When she was about 20 feet they noticed her coming towards them.
"Uh oh, Sakamoto-senpai is coming. I hope she doesn't want a match." One guy said.
The others nodded in agreement and.
"Um hi" she greeted them. "Coach Ryuzaki said that I'm going to have to stay in this group. So what exactly do you guys do here?"
"w-well we s-sometimes have p-pract-tice matches." One boy said. Everyone turned and glared at him.
"Oh ok then who wants to have a match!" Yuuki asked.
After practice
When practice was finished everybody made there way towards the dressing room. Yuuki made it there first. Before she could even open her bag all the boys were in and out. Confused Yuuki dressed and started to walk home. On her way she saw Eiji and Fuji walking home together. They waved and she waved back. Still feeling a little down cast Yuuki proceeded home.
As Fuji and Eiji were talking Eiji's phone rang.
"Moshi moshi" he answered.
"Eiji are you with Yuuki?" his mother asked
"Um no practice is over I'm walking with Fuji." He said
"Well her parents just called saying there was an emergency meeting in America and they had to leave immediately. So she's going to have to stay with us." His mother said
"Oh. Well we just saw her. She's pretty far ahead now. Would you like me to try to catch up with her?" Eiji asked.
"Yes please." She said then they hung up.
"Fuji I have to go get Yuuki. Her parents have to go to America so she's staying at my house." Eiji explained
They said their goodbyes and separated. Eiji ran ahead to go find Yuuki.
'She shouldn't be far' he thought to himself. After a couple of minuets of running he finally saw her.
'Yuuki-Chan!" he called out.
Yuuki turned around and saw Eiji standing about 20 feet away from her.
"Eiji." She said
"hey." He said catching up to her. "My mom said your parents had to go to America for some emergency meeting. So you will be staying with us!" he said with a cheery voice.
"ok." Yuuki said sounding a little disappointed. She had really been looking forward to spending time with her parents.
"Well, I'm going to have to get my stuff from my house." She said
"Ok lead the way." Eiji said
Eiji POV
When I saw Yuuki's house I was really surprises. It wasn't a mansion but it was pretty big, bigger than my house. She said I could watch TV while she packed her stuff. So I grabbed the remote and flipped through channels. There wasn't much on so I just turned to this tennis match. It was really old. Looked like it had been played in the 1980s. I could tell because of the clothes they were wearing. After watching 15 minuets of the match it got boarding. My eyes drifted to the room I was in. On the book shelf there were a lot of pictures. Probably family members and friends. I saw a lot of pictures of Yuuki. A lot of them were of her holding a trophy or a metal. On the shelf above the pictures were trophies. But most of them had her mothers name on them. Her mother played tennis? There were pictures of her to. Maybe that's why she's so passionate about tennis.
Yuuki came down with several bags.
"ready." She said with a huge smile on her face.
"Ok! Hey Yuuki did your mom play tennis?" I asked
"Yah. She did when she was in college." She said I couldn't tell if she was happy or sad. But she stopped at college. She used to play with me when I was young, but now she always to busy."
"I see. Looks like she has a lot of metals." I said
"Yah, she's really good at it. Better that me! I learned a lot from her." She said with a small smile. "Anyway we should go now its getting late." She said looking up
"Oh! Yah lets go!" I said happily and we left.
Yuuki POV
When we got to Eiji's house his mom had a hot meal just sitting there waiting for us.
"Thank you Mrs. Kikumaru for letting me stay here." I thanked her.
"Oh it's a pleasure to have you here." She said with a warm smile "now sit down and eat."
So me Eiji and the rest of the family sat down and ate. I felt a little uncomfortable eating. They were really nice people and I trusted them its just I barely knew them. I just met them a day ago and now I'm staying at their house for who knows how long! Whenever my parents go on one of these 'emergency meetings' you never know when they will be coming home! I'm just glad I don't have to stay with that grumpy old lady.
When we finished eating Mrs. Kikumaru said I would have to sleep in Eiji's older sister's room until they had the guest room ready. She said it would probably be done tomorrow. So I went upstairs got dressed and ready for bed. I got lost looking for the bathroom.
That happens a lot. Anyway I found Eiji and he showed me where it was. After I finished I went to bed. Did I mention that she plays a lot of music when she's going to bed? Plus she was up until 12:30 talking to her boyfriend. Ugh! I tried to think of other things like school but it didn't help much. After a while I finally fell asleep thinking of the days to come.
Yami: so how was it? Long enough for you guys ^^ Give me your thoughts constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. And tell me of any errors its 12:05 in the morning!
