Chapter Three: A new regular?

Everyone were still processing all the information they just got. First the mysterious girl that they just met was named Echizen Riku. Second, they not only discovered that she is Echizen Ryoma's aunt but she is actually 'Re' a famous tennis player known around Europe. Last but not least, she said she will be joining the boys tennis club. Ryoma was beyond annoyed now, why on earth wouldn't his baka Oyaji inform him about his aunt's visit, oh yeah he forgot his father is a BAKA.

"Ne Inui. How did you actually noticed that Echizen- san is the famous Re" Oishi asked since no one bothered to utter a word from to many shocking news.

"I have done a lot of research on many famous tennis players, both males and females. When I first saw her like all of you I was shocked on how much she looks like Echizen. But then looking at her closely, I saw a scar under her eyebrow, it is the same scar Re got playing on a match in the London tournament when she was twelve- years old. Here take a close look." Inui showed them a picture he had of 'Re' showing the scar he is talking about, it is kinda shaped like a check mark. They turned around to look at Riku who had a bored look, and there they saw the same scar! "Wow..." they all said.

"I thought she looked familiar, but not only because she looks like Echizen." Fuji said smiling, of course the genius would notice. "That's an old picture, I have changed over the years" Riku said.

"Nya! But your hair was blonde, don't tell me it was just a dye it looked natural" Eiji said jumping around. Riku was amused at his energy and smiled. "That was just a wig, I was trying to hide my identity, for many reasons." Everyone looked at her, she knew they wanted to know the reasons she sigh 'these people really want to know everything how annoying but it can't be helped'

"Just like my brother I loved tennis, but of course he was already a major pro. As I was growing up people kept on bothering me and comparing me to the great Nanjiro Echizen. So I decided to create my alter ego which is 'Re' that practically stands for the initials of not only my name but my nephews. Of course no one even noticed, clueless people. The hair color though, well Ryoma here has my same color, I couldn't risk on how much we look a like, so that is why I went with blonde. I thought it looked the best." she said keeping her cool, it really amazed them how her and Ryoma really did look a like, they even kind of acted the same.

"Wow I'm still in shock! But it will pass, over all nice to meet you! It looks like we will be teammates, ne Sempai" Momo said with that friendly grin of his, Riku smiled at him kindly, that made Momo blush. Everyone started laughing, except Ryoma, Tezuka, and Kaido who was still drinking water after all the laps he had to run thanks to Momo. "Ne Momo sempai? Don't get crazy ideas, you can't crush on my aunt" Ryoma said smirking and glaring at his sempai, Momo just blushed more. "NANDE?! Who's crushing you Idiot!" Momo said rubbing Ryoma's head hard. "That hurts sempai!"

"Hahaha I can tell you both are best friends, ne Sakuno- chan?" Riku said to Sakuno who smiled at her in response. "Alright everyone go change so I can properly introduce Riku to the entire club" and with that said everyone rushed to change. Sakuno showed Riku the girl's locker room and they both started to get ready.

"Ne Echizen sempai, may I ask how did you get into the boys tennis team? I thought that wasn't allowed." Sakuno asked sweetly.

"Sakuno-chan you can call me Nee-chan or Riku-chan, you might not remember me but we were really close until I moved to London, you even cried when I said good-bye" Riku said smiling remembering how Sakuno had held onto her and didn't want to let go. " Ano... Nee-chan" Sakuno said blushing lightly.

"Ah! Sakuno you are so cute!" Riku hugged her tightly. "Well my parents had annoyed me ever since I can remember to come to Japan, since I really haven't been involved with the culture that much. Just like Ryoma I was born in America. But I was to absorbed in my tennis career that I did not pay attention to it until now. I got so tired of always winning, there were no challenges left for me. Until I saw Ryoma's national tournament on tv, and if you ask me I never saw how completely happy my nephew looked playing tennis. So I got inspired to come here and start a challenge. A month later Seigaku reached me and invited me, of course I only accepted if they would let me join the boys tennis team, so that is how I got here with the help of your grandmother." Riku said smirking.

"Souka... Well they are all very nice people nee-chan I'm sure they will take good care of you. Ano... Whenever I don't have practice I come and cheer on all the sempais and Ryoma-kun, if you don't mind I'll cheer for you as well!" Sakuno said smiling heavenly, Riku got teared eyed "Sakuno! You are so cute! Arigatou! Demo... What is your relationship with Ryoma has his dense self asked you out already?" Riku asked sweetly.

"EHH?! Nee-chan it is nothing like that we are just friends and classmates!" Sakuno said as she turned tomato red. 'Hm so she likes him hehe' Riku thought. "Well okay, but we better get going or we will be late."

"Hai!" and they both headed to the courts.

The Tennis Courts

"Well everyone gather around I have some announcements to make!" Ryuuzaki sensei screamed around the courts. "As you all see I will be your new coach, well new to some and old to others, ne" she said looking at her old team, they had big grins on their faces, except the three you all already know. "As you all know Tezuka is the captain of the team, following Oishi that is the vice- captain. Now we will be having an addition to the team, this person will be both adviser and a player. Come on out!" everyone turned around as the petite girl came in. Riku had a smirk on her face, she was wearing a white polo tennis shirt and a red tennis skirt with white shorts for decency purposes. Everyone was shock! It was a girl. Of course some other students like Arai saw the incredible similarities this girl had with Echizen. He got annoyed and decided to burst.

"Girly girls aren't allowed in the boys tennis team. Why should this one be any different." the regulars gave him a glare, specially Ryoma, he figured something like this would happen. It might not look it because he doesn't show his feelings but he really cares for his aunt, and has always been over protective of her since he could remember, since she is like him she's a smart ass and she would always get in trouble because of it, she always forgets to act like a girl.

"Hmm? You really think so?" Riku looked at him smirking

"Isn't it obvious I do?" Arai shot back.

"Arai that is enough. 20 laps around the courts" Tezuka said trying to restrain his annoyance.

"I have a better idea than laps Kunimitsu- kun, ne kid how about a match? If you lose you won't have anything more to say." Riku challenged Arai with a smirking, this really made him mad she was mocking him.

"Alright you are on girly!" he shot back

"Arai! I have not given permission for such a match to start." Tezuka scolded him, Arai shivered at his voice when.. "Ne captain it will be entertaining, just let it happen. I need to prove myself don't you think." Riku told Tezuka with familiarity. Everyone was shocked no one has talked to the captain like she does. Ryoma was getting suspicious of their relationship. 'Hm maybe they already know each other' he said looking at the both of them from under his hat'

Tezuka looked at Riku seriously in the eye and then as in defeat he sigh "Fine" Riku smiled at him then she turned to Arai "What are you waiting for get your stuff" Arai with a scold, went to get his racket. Riku went to her bag to grab hers, it was a red racket, kind of like Ryoma's but a darker shade.

Ryoma followed behind her, she knew he was so she asked "Are you worried about me Ryoma?" she asked him while she was fixing the racket's strings. "No. But stop getting in trouble, you need to act more like a girl" Ryoma sigh but then felt her looking at him. Hazel met hazel "Ryoma there's no need to be over protective I know how to defend myself well and you know that" well Ryoma knew well she could, she was just as tough as him, his brother and his father what can you expect she's a stubborn Echizen after all. "Hai hai. I haven't seen you play in a while so I'm looking forward to it nee-chan" Ryoma said smirking. Riku smiled at him warmly, went up to him and hugged him. "Ne-e-chan! What are you doing let go!" Ryoma complained blushing,

"Haha you are still shy my little nephew, but thank you for the encouragement" Riku let go of him and started walking then she said "Remember though, you still need to beat me too" then she walked away. Ryoma looked at her walking and smirked 'I'll be sure to beat you too, nee-chan"
