I noticed something terrible while making this chapter. I noticed every chapter got a bit shorter. I actually noticed it because this chapter was abnormally short. So to make up to all of you I'll make the next one longer. (And with longer I mean as long as the first one^^)

another small note next chapter I'll look which pairing has the most votes and thus i'll decide on the pairing k^^

disclaimer: However much I wish I own prince of tennis now I don't. On the other hand if my mind and Konomi Takeshi's mind is controlled by the same shadow governement maybe I do own a little of it^^.... not a chance I still don't own it.

"Ore-sama will let you serve first. Be awed by Ore-sama's generosity." Atobe said.

Echizen flinched. He was jumping up and down on one spot trying to get his muscles to warm up. "Don't need it you can serve first, saru no taishou." He didn't like people going easy on him he didn't goe asy on anyone. He didn't play serious against everyone but he never went easy on anyone.

Both Fuji and Yukimura smiled or Echizen would completely humiliate himself or Atobe would regret his decision. This was a good day for them either way a very good day.

Atobe mockingly served and easy underhand serve.

"Play serious." Echizen said as he returned the ball easily and scored the point.

Atobe blinked a few times. This wasn't part of his plan. The boy wasn't in the tennis club. It was just a fluke and even if it wasn't with this level Atobe could beat him anyway. "Everyone could get a return ace with such an easy serve."

"There are some people who use that as an excuse for losing." Ryoma said.

Atobe twitched (elegantly of course) and served again a normal reasonable fast serve this time.

Echizen returned it without much trouble and scored another point.

Atobe was dumbstruck. How was this possible two return aces against the great Atobe. He calmed himself down and decided to use this game to test how far Echizens skills reached.

"Game Echizen. One game to love. Change court."

Atobe was surprised that Echizen actually could play this well but with this he wouldn't beat Atobe.

It was Echizens service game.

Atobe decided to start playing serious and let Echizen score no points from now on.

The game lasted a lot longer than the last game with Atobe eventually winning after a deuce.

Echizen smirked. "Finally decided to take this serious?" then he would get reasonably serious himself. Of course he would continue playing with his right hand simply because he didn't need to play with his left hand to win. Playing with his right hand was the only handicap he ever gave anyone.

Atobe snorted. (I'm not sure if you can snort elegantly but if it's possible Atobe did it:P) "Ore-sama will make you regret this."

Echizens smirk grew a bit wider. "Make me."

"Ore-sama will." Atobe said fully confident with himself.

Yukimura had an obviously amused smirk on his face. This was funny really funny. No matter who won this would eb funny. Of course he hoped Echizen would win but it didn't really matter.

Fuji looked amazed Ryoma looked hot! Fuji didn't know what was worng with him but he couldn't keep his eyes from Echizen.

It was Atobe's service game he decided to show that's brat his place and used the tannhauser serve. There was no way in hell he would lsoe to some bratty player.

Echizen stood ready to return Atobe's serve but once the serve hit the ground it didn't bounce. Echizen blinked… and blinked again… and smirked. He never thought this would be so amusing.

Yukimura's smile grew bigger Echizen looked cute when he blinked like that.

Atobe just smirked no way that brat could return his serve. He served again with the tannhauser serve.

Echizen ran forward and returned the ball before it hit the ground.

Atobe smashed the ball and preformed the first part of his hametsu no rondo.

Echizen felt the racquet being knocked out of his hand and when Atobe smashed the ball again he couldn't do anything to prevent him from scoring the point.

"30-love Atobe."

Atobe smirked cocky. "If you give up now you might save yourself from an awful humiliation."

Yukimura laughed. In his eyes Atobe was being an idiot you should never let someone stop when you wanted to humiliate them. If you could humiliate them show no mercy.

Echizen smirked. "Who said I was going to give up saru no taishou?"

Atobe twitched but he didn't doubt one second that he was going to win.

Echizen smirked. "You're going to serve or what?"

Atobe twitched once again but served nonetheless.

Echizen returned his tannhauser serve deflected his hametsu no rondo and scored the point with a not bouncing drive volley.

Yukimura opened his eyes in shock. Wow this kid was good.

"What was that?"

He heard people whisper. It had become quite the spectacle Yukimura noted. but eh ahdn't expected anything elseafterall Atobe was being beat and hard.

"Drive c." Echizen said with a smirk.

After that no matter what Atobe tried Echizen just kicked his ass.

Echizen returned every ball just a little bit too fast for Atobe, just a little out of his reach. Not much but still a little.

Yukimura could beat Echizen if he played like this but Yukimura could also see Echizen didn't play 100% serious.

"6-1 For Echizen."

Echizen smirked. "Mada mada dane, saru no taishou."

People were looking at Echizen amazed. They all had something close to 'wtf that freshman just beat Atobe.' "Atobe is Kushijashi."

Yukimura chuckled and decided to safe Echizen before people would bother him. That and He wanted to talk to the boy.

Echizen felt someone pull at his wrist and lead him away from the chaos that was coming. Echizen grateful that someone rescued him turned his head to see his 'hero'.

The person had blue hair, blue eyes, a gentle smile, feminine looks, slender body and a firm grip on Echizens wrist. The person was like Fuji. The person looked more like a girl than a boy but wore the boys uniform. Other than that the person had something different that was somewhat familiar.

"Ano, who are you?"

"Ah. I'm Yukimura of the Rikkaidai tennis club."

"Echizen Ryoma. Yoroshiku." Echizen wanted to twitch but didn't. He thought the person sounded like a girl as well. (He's voiced by a girl can't help it)

Yukimura chuckled. "I never expected you to beat Atobe."

Echizen just shrugged.

"Are you in the tennis club?"

"îe."

"You shouldn't let talent like yours go to waste." Yukimura said clearly dissapointed that Echizen wasn't in the tennis club.

Again Echizen just shrugged.

"Did you play tennis before?"

"Mada mada dane sempai." Echizen said before turning and walking away leaving yukimura confused and amused behind.

Tezuka looked at the chaos created by Atobe. YES ATOBE! Not Echizen he had nothing to do with this it's all Atobe's fault.

"Ne Tezuka, Don't you think he should play in the ranking tournament? I wonder how far he would get." Fuji said to Tezuka as soon as he noticed he had been watching.

"Echizen isn't in the tennis club I can't make him participate in the ranking tournament."

"I'm sure I could persuade him." Fuji said with an evil glint in his now opened eyes.

Tezuka shivered. Not on the outside of course this is Tezuka we're talking about. Just on the inside. "I won't stop you from trying." Tezuka said. But somewhere deep down inside Tezuka felt guilty towards Echizen. Because he had given Fuji permission to blackmail him into the tennis team. But the team was short on good players since Kawamura left. That and talent like Echizens shouldn't be wasted.

"Ne Seiichi wouldn't you like to have Echizen play in the ranking tournaments?"

"It would be a waste to let someone like him not play in the ranking tournament."

"He isn't part of the tennis club."

"So I heard."

Shuusuke opened his eyes when he heard this. He wodnered how Yukimura knew. but he pushed it aside because itw as Yukimura and he had minions like Yanagi Renji.

"Shuusuke you know our pact?"

"The one to use our 'sadistic' tendencies as other people call it on everyone but the people we put on our list and that when someone even if it's one of us bothers the person on the list we're allowed to make that person's life miserable?" Fuji asked with a bright smile almost hoping Yukimura broke the pact.

"Yes that one." Yukimura said smiling.

"What about it?" Fuji said with an equel bright smile.

"I would like to add Echizen to the list."

"Saa, I can't agree with that." Fuji said not one second caring that yukimura might get mad and that if the two of them got mad at eachother this could ruin the entire school. Even worse it would all be Echizens fault and he couldn't do anything about it.

Yukimura felt slight anger boiling in his veins but he kept smiling gentle nonetheless. "Why not?" Yukimura did know that if he and Fuji got in a fight that would mean the end of the school like they knew it.

"Because I want him to join the ranking tournament and I might have to blackmail him for that." Fuji said in a matter of fact voice.

Yukimura only raised an eyebrow.

"For the greater good?" Fuji tried hoping he could win Yukimura over.

Yukimura smiled he seemed to agree with that.

"I need your help though." Fuji said smiling brightly.

Echizen slowly got used to people who weren't supposed to be here popping up out of nowhere just to talk to him.

First of all some guy named Yanagi who together with Inui tried to gather information on him for what he didn't know but they just did it.

Second some guy named Mukahi or something like that who just wanted to see the person who offended and beat his buchou.

Echizen learned later that Mukahi was one of the monkey minions.

Then there was Yukimura. Yukimura had the weird tendency to follow Echizen and try to get him to join the tennis team.

Echizen thought Yukimura would be a good substitude for Fuji if Fuji was too busy to fullfill the role of devil. Echizen also came to the conclusion that Yukimura and Fuji had the same level of stubbornness. In Echizens eyes this was a bad thing because he hadn't figured out the limit of Fuji's stubbornness yet.

Yukimura also switched with Fuji sometimes to pick Echizen up in the morning.

Echizen wasn't sure if Fuji was in on this but he didn't really care he hated them both. The only difference for him was which team he had to watch. And how rude his awakening was.

Inui who had noticed Echizen watched Rikkaidai had tried to hear him out about new techniques etc etc.

Echizen had fallen asleep while watching them practice so he had no clue what techniques they used.

The last person who wasn't supposed to be there but just always was was Fuji. I don't have to describe this in further details right you all know why Fuji's stalking Echizen.

That was it for this chapter^^

and the dictonary it's actually longer than teh last one^^

tannhauser serve: Atobe's not bouncing serve

hametsu no rondo: Atobe's two parted smash. Where he first slams the racquet from the opponent hand and scores the point when his opponent has no racquet.

Drive c: Ryoma's none bouncing technique. A easier to return version of the cool drive.

Mada mada dane: You still got a long way to go/ you still got lots more to work on. ( I didn't have to translate this one right?)

Kushijashi: If you lose 6-1

Ano: Just something to attract attention has no special meaning

Îe: no

Saa: Fuji's nothing saying something.

As usual reviews are loved^^ Next chapter Eiji is worried about Fuji, Fuji collects blackmail material, and Echizen has problems in the photography club^^ And next chapter I have a pairing^^
