Chapter Four: I am Riku Echizen
"Riku Sempai you don't need to prove anything all you have to say is that yo-" Riku covered Momo's mouth with her hand, this caught him off guard. "Momo I am Riku Echizen right now no one else" she said smiling, Momo understood and smiled. Fuji smiled at her as well and said "Saa she sure is an Echizen alright" Riku only smirked at them, "Thank you!" Riku said then.. "Be careful" Riku turned around to see Ryoma and she responded "Hm You don't have to tell me that nephew" and she walked towards the court where she was about to play Arai.
Oishi sat on the umpire seat. "One set match between Masashi Arai, and Echizen Riku." Arai's eyes widen at the girls name, and so did the others in the courts besides the regulars. "E-echizen?" Arai said with amusement. "What? Scared already? It's just a name." Riku said smirking. This pissed Arai off. "HAHAHA she's just as big of a smart mouth as you huh Echizen now I see where you get it from!" Momo said rubbing Ryoma's head. "Hn." was all Ryoma said but inside he was smirking just as wide as Riku. "No one is scared girly you'll swallow your own words soon" Arai said.
"Hai hai, let's just get this over with I'm hungry I haven't eaten all day but a damn apple." Riku said annoyed. Everyone sweat dropped at this, "Well I can see she takes after Nanjiro too" Said Ryuuzaki sensei and everyone else just nodded. "You serve first, girls first" Arai said annoyed. Riku's eyebrow twitched. "I say little kids go first."
"NANDE?!" Arai screamed. Oishi just sigh "Arai turn your racket if is up you serve if is down Echizen-san serves" and just as he was told Arai twisted the racket, and.. "Hey what do you know, kids do serve first" said Riku as the racket landed up. Arai was getting pissed by the minute 'this girl has some nerve. She had to be related to the brat of course'
"Masashi Arai to serve!" announced Oishi. Arai twisting the ball he threw it into the air, 'I am not going easy on you cause you are a girl!' as the ball came back down, he gripped the handle of the racket tight and slightly slanted it, with that he hit the ball with a lot of force. Everyone knew how fast the ball was going but somehow they saw it all in slow motion. Riku slowly positioned her body back gracefully, grabbed the racket with both her hands just as tight as Arai and without any struggle she returned Arai's power serve with incredible force. "15- Love!" Oishi exclaimed. There was complete silence in the courts.
"Wh-hat? But how?" Arai uttered surprised, no one had returned his power serve that easily before.
"Hmm, Not bad but still not good enough" Riku smirked.
'Wow did you see that she returned Arai's power shot without a problem!' everyone was murmuring on the fence. Arai was getting even more agitated. "Ne Arai, don't let your opponent nor the crowd get in your head." Riku said looking at him seriously. Arai was shocked 'she's actually giving me advise?'
"I'm not here to take anyone's place. I just want to have fun, playing tennis" Riku pointed her racket towards him and smiled. Ryoma looked towards his aunt and smirked 'You don't change ne, nee-chan'
Once everyone saw Riku smiling cutely all the guys in the courts even Arai blushed. "GO RIKU-SAN!" the guys started to cheer. Ryoma's eyebrow twitched 'seriously? That just annoyed me at least Sakuno is on the girls team. AND WHAT AM I THINKING?!' he mentally slapped himself. Arai lost his serve game in less than five minutes, he was sweating bullets while Riku was as calm as ever. "Have you noticed she hasn't moved from her spot?" Fuji said. Inui was scribbling in his notebook. "She seems to have the same style of game as Echizen."
"It looks that way, but then it doesn't huh Tezuka" Fuji said smiling at the captain. Like always Tezuka didn't even respond, he just stared straight at the match. "Echizen Riku to serve!" Oishi announced. Bouncing the ball lightly, Riku threw the ball into the air, while the ball was still in the air she bent her knees and jumped as high as the ball was. This shocked everyone.
"Nya! Is she gonna do a twist serve?!" Eiji got closer to the fence.
"Yadda." they heard Ryoma say "Look closely sempai" and so everyone followed his command. The ball was still high up in the air and so was Riku, but as she came down she twisted her body and angled her racket and hit the ball with an amazing force. Arai ran towards it 'Ha! I can return this easily." but as the ball landed on the floor it twisted on the ground and never bounced back. Everyone went completely mute, until Riku spoke " And that was my dancing ball"
"Oh I see the ball did look like it danced." Inui said
"But it totally looked like a twist serve nyah!" Eiji screamed
"It is like a twist serve, the positions are equal. But once she twisted her body side ways she gave it a different force. The ball did twisted but she didn't angle it to bounce at her opponents face." Fuji explained
"Wow that was something! Go Riku- Sempai!" Momo screamed.
Riku was about to serve again when Arai interrupted her "That's good enough of a game, I give up" Riku looked at him with a bored look. "Wh-yy are you looking at me like that?! Now you get off the hook and you can go eat. Geez" Riku's eyes widen and then she smirked "Hn."
"EHHH? But why end it Arai I wanted to see more!" Hayashi said (if you all don't know who this guy is, he's one of the guys Arai hangs with in the series)
Everyone looked at him suspiciously, Ryoma glared at him darkly. "Whaa-t?" he stuttered. "Nyah! Hayashi wanted to keep seeing Riku-chan jumping more! Pervert!" Eiji pointed a finger at him accusingly. Ryoma's eye twitched "Hm? Is that right sempai?" Ryoma asked with a dark aura around him.
"It is nothing like that Echizen, I just wanted to see more of the game! I'm not perverted towards your cousin" Hayashi said putting his arms up pleading.
"She's actually Echizen's aunt" Fuji said smiling. All the club sweat dropped at the saddist, until they processed what he said "EHHH?! Echizen's aunt? Isn't she too young?" everyone exclaimed. Both Riku and Ryoma sighed 'I'm not repeating myself' they both thought. "Riku-San is Nanjiro Echizen's younger sister. So she happens to be Ryoma's aunt. Everyone welcome her to the team!" Ryuuzaki sensei said. "Welcome to our club Riku-san" All the guys bowed, Arai just nodded his head and turned around. Riku smiled and bowed back at them "Please take care of me, everyone" and at that everyone fainted.
"Nyah! She's as cute as Sakuno-chan!" Eiji jumped and hugged Riku tightly. Ryoma glared at him for calling Sakuno cute and hugging his aunt so casually.
"Ah.. Kikumaru- sempai? I think you should be careful with what you say and with what you do..." Momo warned Eiji
"Nyah why Momo?" he asked innocently and Momo just pointed towards the Ryoma who was surrounded with a dark aura.
"Ne, Eiji-kun you can let go now, I'm not a stuff animal." Riku said kind of annoyed.
"But you are adorable like a stuffed toy nyah!" Eiji exclaimed still hugging her. He didn't feel the dark aura coming from Ryoma, Riku, and.. Tezuka? All the regulars felt uneasy Oishi was about to step in when.. "Ne sempai I wouldn't hold her for that long..." Ryoma warned him
"Why Ochi-" Kikumaru didn't get to finish when suddenly he was slammed to the ground while Riku pinned him securely. Everyone sweat dropped.
"That's why Sempai she knows martial arts" Ryoma simply said with a bored look, dark aura gone.
"EHH? What is this girl made of anyways?" both Momo and Kaido said.
"Fshhhh stop repeating me you idiot!"
"What was that Mamushi! You are the one that repeated me!" and so the usual bickering started when..
"Everyone 50 laps around the courts now." Tezuka said with the meanest face he has ever given, everyone shivered and they asked "Everyone?"
"Yes everyone" he simply said. And so practice began.
After Practice
Riku and Ryoma said good-bye and they started walking towards the gates. "Ne are you also staying with us?" Ryoma asked.
"Hn. What don't you want me too?" Riku asked with a bored look but Ryoma just stared at her. "I didn't say that"
"Hai hai" was all she said understanding where he was getting at. When she saw Sakuno. "Sakuno-chan!" she yelled. Sakuno was with Tomoka. "Sakuno who is that?! She looks like Ryoma-sama!" Tomo screamed. "Ano... That's because.."
Riku heard the loud girl from where she was so she answered for Sakuno "I'm Ryoma's aunt" she said with a bored expression. "EHHH?!"
'Not again' both Echizen's said.
"Just go with the flow okay?" Riku said clearly annoyed.
"H-ai" Tomo said "Well Sakuno I have to go I'll call you later! Ja!" Tomo gaved at her best friend. 'Sigh I already know she is gonna ask me about Nee-chan and Ryoma-kun.' Sakuno thought.
"Sakuno lets go Ryoma and I will walk you home" Riku said.
"E-eh?! Nee-chan that's okay you don't have too.." Sakuno said blushing lightly.
"It's not bother at all plus it's on our way. Right Ryoma?" Riku said while Ryoma just keeping it cool said "Hn."
And so their exiting walk home started!
