I'm answering your reviews for now. So yah know right??
.. – Honestly I don't really know what's right or wrong. Before I did this, I wasn't sure of Fuji's name. I searched on some fan pages and it was written like this 'Shusuke Fuji' the same goes for Ryoma ('Echizen Ryoma') So what I thought of it was it was written in Western Style. So the protagonist of this series' name will most likely be Ryoma. If so then Fuji's name is Fuji. I don't really get it? If I make a mistake please do correct me and I'll edit it right away! Don't be afraid to correct me though, just don't use some harsh words alright? Oh and please I'll leave a note for everyone alright?
(Note: I edited it just in case. So I edited all of the last names of Fuji and Mikan, but I'm still going to call him Fuji 'cause in the anime that's what they most likely to call him. So from today on, this will be kinda complicated.)
Vein's Simply Tired – Well I did that on purpose. I have an appropriate reason :D
Okay so for now that's it.
So let's go chapter 2!
Princess of Tennis Chapter 2: The Reason
Mikan and Fuji walked towards their home while talking about their alices. The practice was over after Mikan again played Fuji in a match as Tezuka and the other regulars watched; Coach Ryuzaki was there too observing the match between the two siblings.
"All the regulars have one but I can't believe that Jerk has one! I mean I can sense it!" Mikan cursed as she tightened the grip on her bag.
"He has one? What kind?" Fuji asked as he looked at his sister with a slightly open mouth.
"Ice! And it has to be that kind of alice! But it suits his attitude though," Mikan crossed her arms as Fuji laughed softly at his sister. After that silence was present. Mikan thought about her day at school and all she did. Her eye's widened as she remembered something she could never forget.
"Ne, Onii-chan do you know Sakuno-chan's number at home?" Mikan said as she slightly panicked.
"Sorry, Mikan-chan but I only know one of your classmates' number," Fuji replied softly.
"Oh and I have a guess for that, darn!" Mikan cursed as she sighed. Fuji glanced at her little sister before he smiled then asked why she needed Sakuno's number.
"Yes it's Echizen's. Why would you need one of your classmates number?" Fuji laughed when he saw Mikan slightly blushing.
"Err…Ano…" Mikan panicked and couldn't say the right words. It was the first time she was going to say this but she prepared herself and sighed as she looked away from her big brother.
"I…I forgot to write my homework!" She exclaimed. She heard Fuji giggle after that.
"Perfect timing, let's go visit Echizen then," Fuji said as he abruptly stopped at a huge dojo. Mikan looked up at the place in front of him. His brother smiled as he offered to ring the doorbell. The doorbell rang as someone spoke immediately. Fuji pressed a white button then spoke.
"We came here to see Echizen Ryoma, I'm one of his friends." Mikan looked at his big brother then shook her head.
"Well, come in then. I'll get him right away," The other line replied.
"Arigatou," He said before leading Mikan to the front porch of Ryoma's home.
Meanwhile…
"Oi, brat! Someone is here to see you!" Nanjiro shouted over the stairs as Ryoma descended upon it.
"Nani? A guest?" Ryoma asked to no one in particular as he walked up to the front door to find Mikan playing with Karupin. Fuji kneled beside Mikan then began patting Karupin's head.
"Fuji-senpai? And…?" Ryoma said not bothering to say the name of Mikan. Mikan waved then pouted childishly as she stood up then let Karupin jump into Ryoma's arms.
"I have a name you know, and its Mikan!" Mikan said frowning.
"Excuse us Echizen, but Mikan-chan here has something to ask you," Fuji lightly pushed Mikan forward as she blushed red.
"Err…Ano Ryoma-kun, may I have the page of our homework?" Mikan scratched the back of her neck as she fakely laughed. Ryoma sweat dropped as Fuji smiled.
"I really can't see why you're a duplicate of Fuji-senpai, only in Tennis." Ryoma said as he faced his back over them.
"I'm used to home schooling! Jerk!" Mikan muttered out loud as Ryoma waved his hand signaling them to follow him up to his room.
"Come on, follow me" Ryoma said as he led them upstairs. Mikan and Fuji followed behind silently. Ryoma stopped as he passed the 1st door to the left. He opened the door then went inside.
"Nani?" Mikan confusedly said to no one. Fuji and Ryoma glanced at her with a questioning look.
"I didn't expect your room isn't like the other guys, you know messy, clothes all over the floor…" Mikan explained as Fuji once again giggled softly. Ryoma gave her a confused look.
"Don't worry she's just not used to it. Yumiko-neesan always tells her that all boys are disorganized." Fuji cleared as Ryoma took out his textbook from his bag.
"Page 124 and don't copy my answers," A vein popped out of Mikan's head as Ryoma went outside.
"Don't worry I won't," Mikan took out her notebook then started scribbling down on a page.
"Ano…Fuji-senpai, may I--?" Ryoma's sentence was cut off when Fuji revealed his sharp eyes. Fuji glanced at Mikan then at Ryoma signaling him to finish what he was saying outside. Ryoma nodded, stood up then waited for Fuji to tell Mikan that they were going outside. He watched as Mikan nodded then Fuji smiled. Ryoma frowned as Fuji made his way to the door. There was silence until they got into the backyard of the dojo. Ryoma once again asked but a different question.
"So, what did she mean that she was home schooled?" Ryoma asked calmly. Fuji frowned a bit then sighed.
"I'll tell you if you don't tell it to anyone, I'll trust you with this Echizen." Fuji looked at him. Ryoma nodded then closed his eyes waiting for an answer.
"The thing is Echizen, we already know what you're hiding," Fuji said under his usual calm face.
"Nani? What're you talking about, Fuji-Senpai?" Ryoma's eyes widened a bit but he didn't show any signs that he was panicked.
"You don't have to hide it Echizen, You know what I'm talking about." Fuji created a ball of wind in his hands as he stared at Ryoma.
"It can't be… You're an alice? And Mikan is also an…" Ryoma shook his head as Fuji nodded slowly.
"You have Ice don't you?"
"But how'd you know?"
"Mikan-chan has almost all kinds of alices in the world," Fuji explained,
"And her alice has something to do with you not letting her go outside and the home schooling?" Ryoma asked
"Yeah, you know the school Gakuen Alice don't you, since you're an alice?" Fuji looked up at the sky to see stars appearing. Ryoma nodded at his question.
"That school is the reason why I keep her from the outside, it's too risky and dangerous. If they found out that Mikan has the S.E.C alice she'll be taken away leaving us. If they found out my alice, as well as yours we might also be taken away. That's why," Fuji explained to Ryoma's confused face.
"I've never heard that they're going to do that when they found out my alice," Ryoma said as he put his hands behind his head in a relaxing manner.
"Why?" Ryoma asked once again,
"You don't know much do you, Echizen?" Fuji chuckled for a bit then once again became serious. He revealed his blue sharp eyes that don't usually appear.
"You see Echizen, once you're an alice and you get into their territory, you will not be able to see the outside world anymore. That school arranges every students' alice by it's type, strength and ability. They have 5 types actually. Latent Type which is the most common of them all, Somatic Type are alices that have something to do with Physical things, Technical Type which is either related to technology or research, Special Ability are alices that are somewhat rare and lastly the Dangerous Ability are those alices that could kill or harm other people. If we ever get caught we'll belong to Dangerous Ability, Mikan-chan, you and me and with that we could kill ourselves." Fuji frowned at this.
"And why is that?" Ryoma's face went looking on the opposite direction.
"Dangerous Ability students are roughly abused with training and missions. Missions that involve guns, swords and any explosive you can think of. When I mean training not like just any normal training we do on Tennis but the trainer is actually so harsh that even on that you can be sent into hospitals," Fuji tightened his fists then glanced at Ryoma's frowning face.
"You seem to know a lot Fuji-senpai," Ryoma said as he stood up.
"I did a research on Gakuen Alice when I was younger," Fuji smiled returning back to his usually calm and smiling self.
"Onii-chan! Where are you?" Mikan shouted softly as she ran around trying to look for her brother.
"Geez, Where'd he ran off too now?" Mikan sighed as she went outside the backyard immediately spotting Ryoma and Fuji laughing. Mikan smiled then pretended to be annoyed as she plastered a pout on her face and put her hands on her waist.
"Onii-chan! Where were you? I've been done 20 minutes ago! Geez," Mikan fakely shouted as her brother ran toward her followed by Ryoma.
"Gomen, Mikan-chan! Well I guess it's time for us to go Echizen, Arigatou for helping my sister," Fuji smiled as Mikan did the same. Ryoma blushed light pink then nodded. He led them to the gate then waved goodbye.
"Oh yeah! Ryoma-kun I forgot your reward! Here…" Mikan said as she kissed Ryoma's cheek making him blush deep red. Fuji laughed at Ryoma's reaction then stopped when he saw Ryoma's red frowning face.
"Okay, enough staring at each other! Oh and Onii-chan don't kill him alright I did that on purpose." Mikan winked at her brothers frowning face.
"Well, let's go bro, Ja Ryoma-kun!" Mikan said as she walked followed by Fuji. Ryoma watched as Fuji slowly walked then his eyes widened when he abruptly stopped then said something,
"Oh and Echizen, can you do me a favor from now on? Please help me protect Mikan since you all know about this stuff. Ja!" Fuji muttered while catching up with his sister. Ryoma smiled then went back inside being welcomed by an energetic Nanjiro.
"Ahhh, Ryoma is finally crushing on a cute girl!" Nanjiro teased as he playfully strangled Ryoma from behind. Ryoma blushed deep red again.
"You're laughing too much," Ryoma pointed while he was trying to get out of his fathers' grip.
"Just admit it gaki! Admit you love her already!" Nanjiro once again teased making Ryoma blush more.
"I do not love her!" Ryoma exclaimed at his fathers laughing face.
'A long night is coming up…' Ryoma thought as he childishly bit his fathers hand to get out of his grip. He dashed up the stairs then slammed the door of his room leaving Nanjiro clutching his hand screaming in pain.
The bright rays of the sun shone directly into Mikan's bed. It was Tuesday and still Mikan is preparing for her second day. While gathering her things, she heard a light knock on her door.
"Mikan-chan, Syusuke is waiting for you down stairs. You don't want to be late again do you?" Yumiko said as she went down headed for the kitchen.
"Coming!" Mikan ran towards her big brother. She held both of her tennis bag and school bag in her arms. Fuji smiled at her sister as she waved good bye at Yumiko.
"Oh Syusuke, Mikan do you want me to drive you there?" Yumiko asked while she almost closed the door.
"That'll be great nee-chan but we'll walk for now, I also need to familiarize the surroundings since I'm totally new to the outside," Mikan said as she clutched her brothers' arm. Fuji smiled then nodded in agreement as Yumiko nodded then smiled back.
"Okay, but be careful you two!" Yumiko waved as she saw two of her siblings disappear.
"Onii-chan, you told him didn't you?" Mikan asked her brother. She looked down frowning. Fuji just smiled as always and told her the truth.
"Yeah, how'd you know Mikan-chan?" Fuji asked her.
"Alice…" Mikan replied but she panicked when someone put a hand on her shoulder.
"Alice what Alice?" Kikumaru asked from behind her. Mikan took a step back surprised while Fuji just stared with his mouth slightly open.
"Er… Alice is a person not something else!" Mikan said panicked she sighed heavily as she read Kikumaru's mind saying that he believes it.
'That was close! I must not let him know that nii-chan and I are an alice because he's an alice like us, if he knows then…' Mikan's thoughts were disturbed when Fuji spoke.
"I'll see you later at club practice Mikan-chan!" Fuji said as Kikumaru followed him towards the tennis courts.
'We're here already?' Mikan thought watching her brother disappear from the corner.
"I guess we are" Mikan muttered to herself as she sighed heading towards her classroom.
"Ohayo!" Mikan said as she entered her classroom.
"Mikan-chan! Why didn't you say you were Fuji-senpai's little sister!" Tomoka demanded an answer as she shouted it in front of Mikan.
"Gomen…gomen but not so loud! I don't want them to find out," Mikan said as she glanced at her classmates. They were all staring at her.
"Hmph! Fine!" Tomoka sat down which is a very unusual habit of her.
"Ah, Ohayo Ryoma-kun!" Mikan smiled s she sat down beside him. Ryoma slightly blushed then replied,
"Ohayo," He said.
After that the teacher arrived and the class began until it was time for club activity.
"Ne, Mikan-chan you have not yet joined any club have you?" Sakuno said shyly as Mikan nodded in response then replied,
"Yeah, but I'll be joining the girls' tennis club. I've always wanted to join a club!" Mikan said cheerily as she ran off with Sakuno to the girls' tennis club.
"So this is it," Mikan stared at the training session of the other girls'. They were swinging their rackets repeatedly.
"Hai! Good thing you got accepted!" Sakuno said as she clutched he racket.
"Oh right! I have to change into my jersey first! I'll see you later Sakuno-chan!" Mikan waved as she went into the girls' dressing room. Mikan changed fast just after 2 minutes she was done with her hair tied into a ponytail. She was wearing her purple jersey that Fuji gave her as a present on Christmas last year, a purple skirt that was from Yumiko and a sun visor that Fuji once again gave as a present on her birthday. She also held her purple tennis racket that again Fuji gave to her when she mastered Tsubame Gaeshi. She wore her Nike shoes that Yumiko and her mother gave to her.
Mikan smiled as she folded her uniform quickly, put it in her bag then went outside. She lightly closed the door then smiled looking down she made the same ruckus as she had with Ryoma yesterday. She again bumped into someone.
"Watch where you're going you freak!" Some girl said as her friends tried to help her up. She noticed that it was three juniors. She frowned at this.
"Gomen!" Mikan exclaimed,
"Apology not accepted, freak!" One of the girls' shouted at her face. Mikan's temper rose up.
'Defend yourself Mikan…you can do it' Mikan thought as she became serious.
"Who're you calling a freak?" Mikan pointed at them. She frowned then wiped the dust off her jersey.
"Maybe you're the freak here," Mikan continued as she fixed her hair.
"How dare you!" One of the girls almost slapped her but Mikan shielded her self with her racket. As the girls' hand hit the racket she winced then clutched her hand to her chest.
"Mio! You're going to pay you brat!" Their leader shouted as she pushed Mikan to the ground. Mio, to get revenge kicked the hand where the racket was being held. Mikan winced I pain but didn't scream as their leader slapped her in the face, clutched her collar then lifted Mikan up. Mikan hid her eyes below her bangs.
'Must control temper or I'll unconsciously defend myself using my alice. I don't want onii-chan to worry so I have t do something!' Mikan just couldn't think of a way so she just remained calm.
"Freshmen aren't supposed to play tennis yet, you kiddo's are assigned to sway your rackets over and over again. So don't you dare raise your voice at us! This is what you get for doing that!" Mikan saw that the leader was clenching fist, she closed her eyes getting ready for the pain to come.
Meanwhile…
Fuji, Tezuka, Ryoma, Kikumaru nd the other regulars were walking towards the girls' tennis club with a necessary reason. They were all laughing together but when Ryoma asked something.
"Tell me why again why are we going to the girls' tennis club?" Ryoma asked as he put his hands inside his pockets.
" Apparently, Coach Ryuzaki asked us to have matches with them as part of their training," Inui explained
"Yosh! I'll have a match against Fuji-senpai's little sister!" Momo said with full energy.
"Bu--!" Kawamura's sentence was cut off when all the regulars heard someone shouting.
"Freshmen aren't supposed to play tennis yet, you kiddo's are assigned to sway your rackets over and over again. So don't you dare raise your voice at us!" They heard some of the girls' shout.
"Someone's in trouble! come on," Oishi and the others ran towards the direction of the voice then stopped when he saw a group of girls bullying someone wearing a familiar sun visor.
Fuji being the one who is very observant, saw a very familiar purple racket. He revealed his blue eyes then. His eyes widened a bit when he saw the initials on the handle. It was 'M'. Fuji dropped his tennis bag as he slowly saw one of the girls clenching her fist. Fuji slowly stomped over the girls' direction then just before the girls' fist hit Mikan, he grabbed it then he slowly strengthened his grip for a payback.
"I'm sorry but if you dare hurt my sister again, you'll have to suffer more than this. And I don't care even if you are girls," Fuji said harshly, his eyes staring directly into the eyes of the leader. The three girls gulped as Fuji released his grip.
"Fuji-senpai! B-but she started it!" The three girls said as Fuji touched Mikan's cheek. He saw her wince then he frowned.
"I don't really care who started it as long as you don't hurt her but if you do it is vey clear that you are the one who started it since I've been with my sister for as long as I can remember," Fuji smiled as he helped Mikan stand up and remove the dirt from her clothes. Mikan smiled then hugged her brother tightly.
"Thanks Onii-chan! I would've lost my temper and use it again," She mumbled as Fuji embraced her back.
"Anytime, Mikan-chan" He said between the hugs.
"It's just like Fuji," Oishi suddenly said as he watched the three girls run away.
"What do you mean Oishi-senpai?" Momo asked,
"When someone like Mikan-chan gets bullied or hurt by someone, Fuji automatically reacts and becomes serious in an instant. When it comes to this things Fuji will unconsciously defend her." Oishi explained as he saw the two hug each other.
"Really?" Kawamura asked not in his usual super-energetic mood.
"Here Kawamura-senpai!" Ryoma threw a racket at Kawamura as he expertly caught it.
"The temperature is BURNING from those two! BURNING!!" Kawamura shouted pointing his racket at a laughing Fuji and Mikan.
"Ochibi! You did it again!" Kikumaru said as he pouted childishly,
"Does Kawamura-senpai have multiple personalities?" They heard a sweat dropping Mikan said. Fuji smiled as Inui answered her question.
"You could say that," Inui said as he looked at an over energetic Kawamura.
"Alright, come on we have some work to do," Tezuka continued to walk as his team members followed closely behind laughing. They walked a short distance as they explained it to the captain of the club.
"Ah I see, so you are to train these girls by having a match with them? I'll approve of it since it would be a great help but are you okay with it?" The captain of the girls' tennis club asked.
"Yes, since we've been asked to do it. But before that, we have to find out who the best players are so firstly I believe they will all have a match against each other and as they advance and reach the top, that is the time we will only participate. So I believe every tennis court must have at least one player that will reach the top." Inui explained while scribbling some notes on his notebooks. Tezuka and the other regulars nodded in agreement.
"Eh? I'm participating too?" Mikan asked confused,
"You are part of this club aren't you?" Ryoma said his hands inside his pocket.
"Well, I know that…" Mikan gripped her racket tighter then went to play.
"Ne, Fuji…I guess there is no doubt that you're gonna be in Mikan's block." Kikumaru glanced over at the tennis court where Mikan is. She was now playing with the other freshmen, quite easily.
"I hope so," Fuji said as he glanced at Mikan. Mikan won was already on her fourth game beating every game with straight points. She was challenging a Junior now which couldn't stand Mikan's attacks.
"I'll watch over at Mikan's," Fuji continued as he walked over to Mikan's court.
"Aren't you the one who pushed me down earlier?" Mikan said softly as she returned the ball that her opponent hit.
"You're even weaker in tennis than I thought!" The girl shouted back. The game was at its fourth match, Mikan's opponent leading.
"Match won by Kazuki Mio! 5 games to 1!" The referee shouted as Mikan smirked evilly.
"Time for a comeback!" Mikan exclaimed as she used Fuji's disappearing serve.
"Don't underhand serve me!" Mio shouted as Mikan once again grinned evilly.
"That serve is going to disappear," Mikan mumbled as she used it over and over again.
"5 games to 2!"
"5 games to 3!"
"5 games to 4!"
"5 games to 5!"
"Game and match won by Fuji Mikan!" Mikan smiled then went over to the net stretching out her hand for a handshake. Mio shook it anyway as she was sweating so heavily.
"Great! Now- I'---!!" Mikan's sentence was cut off when she heard thunder and lightning in the sky.
"Oh no! My efforts are totally useless!" Mikan sighed as she went outside the court heading towards her brother.
"What a waste! Its like I didn't even get a warm-up from all those matches!" Mikan complained at Fuji as they headed home.
"We'll have a match at home so it can satisfy your need of exercise. But I guess we'll have to wait until the weather stops." Fuji said at a deep-in-thought Mikan.
'Yosh! I get to have a match with Nii-chan! But I wonder if I should change the weather? Hmmm… Maybe I will but wouldn't that be suspicious? And if that happens the guys from that school might track me down! What now?'
"Ne Onii-chan, do you think I should…??" Mikan panicked. When she turned around Fuji was no where to be seen.
"EHHHH??!!" Mikan shouted,
Yes! I' m done. Now since I have nothing to write in here, how about a character profile?
