Hello Everyone! :D

I hope you are all doing fine! :)

First I would like to thank 'jafcbutterfly', 'magicalnana' and 'Soul Vrazy' for your reviews! Thank you so much! Thank you all for the new favorites and followings!

This new chapter has two POVs and introduces three new OCs! Introducing to all of you the OCs that are joining the Rikkaidai team!

I said that I said it before but I will say it once again. There are links for the pictures of the OCs on my profile, to help everyone putting a face to the names! No one commented about the pictures so I don't know if it working, so if anyone could comment to help me know I would appreciate! :D

Like I said it before, the names here are not like in Japan, the last name goes last.

And when the words are in italic it means that it is a thought!

I expect at least one review so I can post the new chapter!

I truly hope you all enjoy!

Minami Daidouji POV

I am sitting under a tree reading the new rules book of the tennis tournament.

"Ohayo Minami-chan! How are you? Excited?" I turn to see my best friend smiling at me.

"Ohayo Ayumi-chan! I am good, a bit nervous but overall good." I say closing the book.

"I am nervous too… The Rikkaidai team is famous for being extremely good and having a chance to play with them would be amazing! Our tennis skills would improve so much! But the competition is going to be hard!" She says sitting at my side. She looks at the book I was reading and raises an eyebrow. "The new rule book?"

I laugh. "It distracts me!"

"Ok then… Where did you stop?"

"I stopped here…" I say pointing at the new rules for replacements in case of injuries.

"Read to me…" Said Ayumi-chan closing her eyes.

"In case a female member of the team is unable to play the match won't be played and be considered a loss for W.O. and in case…" I started reading.

A while passed, and then suddenly a girl with a long red hair was standing in front of us.

"I am sorry to disturb you but I am a first year (7th grade) and I still am a bit loss, could you please tell me where the tennis courts are?"

"Are you going to tryout for the team?" Said Ayumi opening her eyes.

"Yes."

"We will too, we want the doubles spot, are you going for the singles?" I say smiling.

She smiles. "Yes, I am not really good at doubles and more than that, I still don't know anyone…"

"I see… We have to go to the courts now too, you can come with us." I say.

"Arigato!" She says.

We start going towards the courts together.

"I am Ayumi Shirayu and this is Minami Daidouji and are in our second year (8th grade) here in Rikkaidai." Ayumi says smiling.

"It's nice to meet you! I am Hikari Koizumi!"

"Where do you play Koizumi-chan? If you don't mind me asking." I say.

"I don't mind, and you both can call me Hikari. I am mostly an aggressive baseliner Daidouji-sempai. What about you two?"

"If we can call you Hikari-chan, then you must call us by our first name too! I insist!" Ayumi said smiling.

"And I agree." I say and Hikari nods.

"I am an all-rounder and Minami-chan is also an all-rounder." Said Ayumi smiling.

"Oh! Here we are!" Said Hikari.

"There are so many girls! And is a shame that most are only here too see the regulars." I say sadly.

"They are here for the regulars? Why?" Hikari said confused.

Ayumi chuckles at this. "You will know when you see them Hikari-chan!"

"You don't think they will be here right? Sanada-sempai and Yukimura-sempai probably don't want the team missing a good day of training just to see the girls tryouts, especially since most girls probably don't even know how to play. And they would be right to do so."

"You can be so strict sometimes Minami-chan! I think it would be nice for them to watch, so they can know their possible team mates better." Ayumi says.

"I don't really have an opinion about that. I like strict training, I grow up with it. Training hard can be really fun, although I enjoy just doing nothing too!" Hikari says.

I sigh but them we are signed to be quite and a girl steps away from Yukimura-sempai and walks towards all the girls.

"Good luck!" I whisper and Hikari and Ayumi say back at the same time. "You too!"

Kitti Atobe POV

The first day of the tryouts for the spots on the Rikkaidai team was just as bad as the one of Hyoutei although there were fewer girls.

And now in the end of the first day I am sitting at Seiichi leaving room with the rest of the team regulars.

"I saw the tryouts while I was going to the bathroom and it was awful! Please tell me that the girls playing for Hyoutei are weak! Otherwise we will lose for sure!" Said Kirihara throwing his hand in the air.

I chuckle. "The girls that will be playing for Hyoutei are quite strong, they are easily in the same level as the others, and I believe that they will only improve with Hyoutei training."

"That's awful! It means that we will lose two matches in every time! Good thing we will win the other matches, but it is still awful for our reputation! And…" Said Kirihara.

"That's not true." Said Yanagi stopping Kirihara. "I wasn't on the tryouts but from what I gathered Rikkaidai has great tennis players that won't be going to the Academies. There is a 90% of chances of us getting strong female members."

"Yanagi-san is right." I say. "The battle for the spots tomorrow will be harder than the one in the Hyoutei tryouts. Although the level of tennis is more or less the same, the number of talented girls is higher in Rikkaidai than the one in Hyoutei. You will see tomorrow."

"I thought that we would be training like usual tomorrow, like we did today." Said Jackal.

"We will." Said Sanada.

"No, tomorrow the regulars will watch the matches just like in Hyoutei." I said.

"We shouldn't lose I whole day of training, if Hyoutei did that's their problem." Said Sanada again.

"Don't go there Gen-chan! Watching tennis is a good form of training and the regulars need to be there to support the girls." I say.

Sanada opened his mouth to respond but I continued talking. "Seii-chan asked me to help. I am helping. And this is me helping. Those girls will be part of the team, if they lose is your loss too. They need to feel that they belong. Being in a male team will be hard, if you don't try to make them see that you see them as part of the team and respect them as such you will get yourself in trouble. The regulars will watch the final part of the tryouts and welcome the girls as part of the team because they are. It is not open to discussion."

Sanada looks at me absorbing what I said and then nods.

"Only mini buchou to make Sanada-sempai agree with us missing a day of training! She is just like Yukimura-buchou!" Kirihara says making us all laugh. A laugh short lived since Sanada gave all of us his death glare.

After this everyone talked for a while, until they started leaving. When it was only me and Seiichi left he said.

"It is going to be hard having girls on the team. Especially for Sanada-san, but will tonight helped with your 'the girls are part of the team and should feel as such' speech. Arigato Ki-chan!"

"There is no need to thank Seii-chan! Although I am not part of the Rikkaidai team I love you all and wish you all the best! Besides you have to be strong for Seigaku defeat you, otherwise it will be no fun!"

"Seigaku won't win!" He says and starts tickling me.

After our tickling war is over he says. "Dad wanted me to ask if you will be staying for dinner and Rika-chan wanted me to ask for you to 'please pretty please' stay."

I laugh. "Actually I was wondering if I could stay the night… It is…"

"You are my sister! Of course you can stay! No explanation needed! You know that! Besides Rika-chan will love that 'cause even though you two are not blood related you are both my sisters and she sees you as an older sister."

"Well I see Rika-chan as a sister too! And I know I can stay if I want, but it wouldn't be polite if I didn't ask. You know mom! Her children must never forget their manners! And talking about moms, is your stepmom still in China?"

"No. Actually she arrived yesterday really happy, and I believe she brought some gifts for you and Keigo too."

"Nadeshiko-sama is always so kind. That makes me and Mom really happy, because you can have a Mom here too. And since you live here, having such a good relationship with your stepmom must be great."

"It is. Truly."

I smile and say. "I think it is really funny how you call your dad 'Dad', your stepmother 'Mother', our mom 'Mom' and my dad 'Father'."

"Look who is talking about! When talking to my dad and stepmother you and Keigo call them 'Father' and 'Mother'." Seiichi says smiling.

"I guess we all just have a big family!" I laugh.

The rest of the night was fun but simple. We had dinner together; talked about Mother's trip to China and she gave me a beautiful Chinese dress, and also was sending through me a gift to Keigo. In the end we said our good nights.

Since I had my own room in the Yukimura Household, I didn't have to share. But I while after we went to sleep Rika-chan came to my room and stayed the rest of the night after some girl talk.

The next day went on nicely. The tryouts were great and in the end the girls selected to the team were just as talented as the ones on the Hyoutei team.

"It would be my pleasure to welcome on the behalf of the Rikkaidai team Hikari Koizumi, Minami Daidouji and Ayumi Shirayu. Welcome to the team!" Said Seiichi with a smile on his face.

And now we were all in a team bonding experience. We are in a restaurant eating Yakiniku.

"I apologize but your name is extremely familiar Koizumi but I can't remember where I heard it." Said Sanada close to the end of our team bonding dinner.

Hikari smiles at Sanada and says. "I don't mind you asking Sanada-sempai. My family is famous for having one of the last traditional Ninjutsu School. Maybe that is why my name is familiar, are you interested in Ninjutsu."

Sanada nods in response.

"You apply Ninjutsu on your tennis! Now I understand that amazing attack Koizumi-chan!" Says Kirihara enthusiastic making Hikari blush.

"Arigato Kirihara-sempai!" Says Hikari with a red face.

Everyone keeps looking from one to another curiously. And then to not make things harder on Hikari I change the subject.

"I know what Minami-chan parents do as well as everyone else here. After all Daidouji Industries are really famous and top of the line. I, for example, have many items made by the Daidouji industries, including my new cellphone." I say making Minami smile. "But what about your parents Ayumi-chan, what do they do?"

"My parents are diplomats Kitti-chan. I think is a great profession although I miss them since they travel a lot. Although they usually don't travel at the same time, so that one of them always stay with. Right now Dad is in England, but mom needed to go to a gala tonight and will only be back tomorrow." She says a bit sadly in the end.

"So you are alone tonight?" I ask and she nods. "Well! Not anymore! Why don't we girls have a sleepover at my house? We can get to know each other better, have fun and keep company to Ayumi-chan!"

The girls start smiling.

"There is no need…" Ayumi starts but Minami interrupts her.

"I would love that. I can call my parents and since Ayumi-chan will be there and they already know her they you allow me to go!"

"I would need to go to my house first and talk to my father personally but I am sure he will allow me, since my mom passed away and I don't have siblings this is a great girl time opportunity!" Says Hikari.

"It is saddle then! When we are done here my driver will pick us up and we can go to each of your houses to get a few things for you all and talk to your parents in person! Then it is slumber party time!" I say happily.

"That's not fair! I would like to go too!" Said Niou making us all laugh.
