CHAPTER IV

The Club Members

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Prince of Tennis, their characters and everything. I just own this story/plot I made.

The classes end so it means I must go to tennis practice of Atobe as according to the plan that we he says. Today I am assigned to be one of the cleaners of our classroom. As I help brushing the dirt in the floor and cleaning the dust in the windows I feel the refreshing air from the outside. Today is very windy. Inhaling the fresh air from outside gives me an unexplainable feeling. I can say that this feeling is the feeling that I really loves. The wind calms me. It can calm my thoughts and body from what happened in lunch. It can erase my doubts, my weaknesses, my feeling of misfortunes, my sadness and my loneliness. That's how I describe the feeling I feel to this very refreshing wind that I feel.

The wind can sway my hair and my clothes down to my skirt. This season is my favorite. As I stare to the outside I can see the leaves of the trees that are falling to the ground and the grasses are swaying in the breeze of the wind. Suddenly while I am taking my moment I heard that someone enters the room and push all the chairs that are on his way. My classmates are whispering now. Because of that I decided to take a glimpse to see who made that noise. Then I see a man who wears a blue cap. He is now in front of me.

"EEEEHHHH? Who are you?" I said to him.

"It doesn't matter. I/We came here to get you." He replies with an irritate sound.

"I, We?. Huh?" I blink with what he said. Then I also noticed that there are more persons that surround me that I do not know who also they are.

"Is she the one that Captain wanted as to bring to the club room?." A redhead petite boy said.

Then because of that I do remember what does Atobe said. Then this really means that he is not joking to what he said at lunch. He does send his minions. (-_-)'

"Hey, who are you all? I do not know who are all of you? Are you all send by Atobe?." I asked them.

"Yes we are." The blue haired man responded to me gentlemanly.

"Sorry if we made you afraid but we must make our mission here so that we can go back to our practice. By the way I am Chotarou Ootori, second year and a member of tennis club." The tall boy said while making a handshake with me. I find him cute. The others do also tell their names the first one is the redheaded boy. He tells his name while pushing me to the corridors. The blue haired boy grabs my bag.

"Hey, what are you doing?" I said.

"Hey, my name is Gakuto Mukahi, I am a third year I am also a member of the tennis club. Nice to meet you!." He said energetically with a smile.

"Huh?" I blinked again.

"We will bring you to the club room, sorry for the ruckus that Atobe made Ms. Rein. Our Captain is really over acting sometimes. I am Oshitari Yuushi, third year. I hope you are not afraid to us." Oshitari said to me.

"Ah?, no. I am not afraid to you guys but….. Senior Gakuto stop pushing me! I can walk all by my self! I will not run!.". I shouted to the redhead third year that still pushing me by holding my shoulders from my back.

"Oh, sorry. I am just doing it to secure you from flying shrimps and pigs. Hehehe." Gakuto responded.

"Shrimps?."

"Yes!."

"Pigs?"

"Yes, yes!" He said energetically, still energetically.

"What?" I feel now dumbfounded.

"Gakuto stop imagining things and stop reading the mangas you are reading!. Sorry Gakuto surely loves to read ugly comics so sometimes he said things that are not true.(He is now facing to me) By the way I am Ryou Shishido." He said while pulling down the brim of his cap.

"Hey! I am not imagining things. In the manga/comics I read it says that shrimps and pigs do love to surround a cute girl with a long hair!. I am just protecting her. She is cute and do have a long hair. She might get kidnapped of those shrimps and pigs that are mutant." Gakuto said. Hearing at what he said that I am cute it made me blush my cheeks.

"And that is not an ugly comics I love to read it!." Gakuto added.

"Whatever." Shishido just said.

"Okay, nice to meet you all. My name is Rein Seito, first year." I said with a smile to them.

"We know" They all responded to me.

"Huh?"

"Atobe/ Captain said." They all responded again in chorus.

"He said that we must meet you because you will be part of the team. Because of that I am really happy. After three years of studying here at last we will be having a cute girl that will become a member of the team. You are definitely different to those amazons that surrounds the tennis courts every practice." Gakuto said while gesturing like he is crying.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

Ootori is the one who responded. "Senior Gakuto means that we are really tired to the girls who became team managers of our team at the past. They are all fans of Captain and some are fangirls of some team members. "

"But I do not know what to do. I am just drag by Atobe to this position." I said apologetically. "Hey, wait! Atobe didn't tell me that I will be going to be a manager of the team? What do that man plans?." I said while my hands crossed in my chest and pouting.

"Then he do not tell you?." Oshitari said.

"Yes." I said still pouting.

"But he said to us that you will be part of the team so we thought that you will be the new team member." Shishido interrupted.

"I do not know how to play tennis then I will become a member? What is he thinking?." I am really mad again at him now. Rein thought.

"Oh?, maybe he has some plans." Ootori said. Whaaaa!, Ootori looks really cute and kind how I wish I can be friend with him. Hehehe(wearing an evil look)

"If you don't know how to play tennis then we can teach you. I am great at playing tennis. I can show you how to play!." Energetically Gakuto says.

Now I really wonder how many energy drinks did this boy drinks everyday. He is really full of energy.

"Ah, ok. But then thanks but, ah, well I am afraid to flying balls I am afraid to might get hurt. So it must be wiser to do not learn it. Hehehe.." I said.

"Flying balls?..." Gakuto look at Rein. "Oh, I remember I said earlier that I will protect you from flying shrimps and pigs!." Gakuto again holds the shoulders of Rein and push her again in the back.

"Hey, Sempai Gakuto stop it. You walk very fast!." Rein said. Damn, why did I make him remember about those flying shrimps?. Rein thought.

"Okay, we are here in the club room.". Gakuto said.

We are now in front of the door of their club room. When we go inside the room I saw a sofa that is color red. They said that it is the favorite resting chair of Atobe. The sofa is plain red, under the sofa there lays a red carpet that has a gold designs. Now I really think that Atobe thinks that he is a king.

"Atobe still not arrive?." Shishido said while looking inside his locker.

"He does really have many works being a student council president of Hyotei so maybe that is the reason why he is late." Ootori said.

Someone open the door then it reveals that it is a boy with a brown hair who came.

"Oh?, Is she the one that Atobe tells us?." The brown boy said examining the look of Rein.

"My name is Wakashi Hiyoshi, just call me Hiyoshi. Alright?" Hiyoshi said.

"Alright" I responded with a smile. Why is he staring at me like that?

In the back of the sofa I heard a yawn it reveals that it is a boy with a sleepy face. When he stands up he looks at me. Then he shouted. He seems to be more energetically than Gakuto.

"Yayyyyyyy!, Is she the new member of the team, Is she? Is she?". He said still looking at me and pointed his finger to me.

"Yes, she is. Do you think she's cute? Hehehe.." Gakuto answers.

"Yes, I think she is cute. You are cute." Now the new awake guy said it while holding my hands.

"Ah, well thank you, sempai." I nodded to him.

"My name is Akutagawa Jirou, nice to meet you! Can I be your friend? Can I become your friend?" Jirou said with a wide grinned.

"Ah, well, It's okay Sempai." I responded to Jirou.

"Hoi, hoi, Jirou stop holding the hands of Rein!." Gakuto said while pushing Jirou away.

"But we are friends. Wow, you are really cute Atobe said was all true." Jirou said.

Cute? Did Atobe really said that to them that I was cute?. Thinking of this I blush.

We waited to Atobe almost 30 minutes. Sempai Gakuto and Sempai Jirou are just talking with me. They are chattering at the same time so I really do not understand what they are talking and telling to me. Sempai Gakuto is telling things about his favorite manga/comics where he finds about flying shrimps and pigs. He really loves that book. About sempai Jirou, he is telling about his idol that I do not know. According to sempai Jirou it is Marui Bunta, whom I do not know who that is but it looks like Jirou-sempai sure admires that one. He wears a look that he is really interested to that person.

"You do not look happy? Do we tell things that you do not like?." Gakuto said with a sad face.

"Uhm, no. Of course not. I love what you are telling to me. I love your stories and also the stories of Jirou-sempai." I said to both of them which are sitting in front of me.

"Okay!" Gakuto and Jirou said together with a happy smile.

"Gakuto and Jirou are just excited that there is a person whom they can tell about their likes and interest and also their stories. It's been a long time since there is a person they find like you." Oshitari sighed.

"What do you mean Oshitari-sempai?" I asked.

"Well, uhm, it's a long story someday you will find out what really happens." Oshitari said.

"Well can you tell it to me now?. Please." I said with a puppy eyes.

In the background Jirou and Gakuto-sempai are now struggling because of the bubble gum that is apple flavored and a bar of chocolate.

"Hey, let's eat that!. Jirou don't be selfish share that!." Gakuto said while trying to snatch the foods from the hands of Jirou.

"No!, Marui and Yukimura gave this to me!." Jirou said while avoiding the attacks of acrobatic Gakuto.

"What? When?. You go to Rikkaidai?" A shock Gakuto shouted.

"Yes, then they give me this when I said that I will go home and bid goodbye. hehehe" A cute response from Jirou.

"What did you do to Rikkai?" Gakuto questioned.

"Well, I watch practice of Marui." Innocent Jirou said.

"Then?" Gakuto followed another question.

"What?" Jirou asked.

"What did you tell to Rikkai?" Gakuto said.

Jirou responded with a big smile in his face. "At first I said that Marui is really great!."

"Then?" Gakuto said.

" Then? Then I said: Wow, Marui you are the greatest!. You can easily beat the acrobatic tennis player of our team! Yayyy!". Jirou said with full of energy. Now Gakuto seems to looks really angry at Jirou. Gakuto-sempai wears a murderous aura.

"What did you say?." Gakuto now wears a creepy face.

"Do you want me to repeat it?." Jirou said still looking innocent.

"Heh, Jirou. That's enough!." Gakuto now really looks like he is mad. The two now looks like they are playing tag. They are running all over the club room.

"Is this normally happens here?." Rein said to Oshitari.

"Well, yes. This is a normal thing in the club." Oshitari said while fixing his eyeglasses.

"Ehehehe.." I forced a smile in my face as what he said.

Author's Notes: At last Rein meets the other Princes it consists of almost four chapters to made her meet them. If there is anyone who notices it, Atobe is not indicated at this chapter because I wanted to give the other characters a scene and I fulfill it. ^_^
