Anime: Prince of Tennis

Summary: In my three years in Middle School, never have i hated him for being so Perfect. I respected him, admired him and aspired to be him. But was that all i felt for that stoic man?

Disclaimer: I don't own Prince of Tennis and any of it characters.


Sworn to Secrecy - Part 1

That night with Tezuka-kun ended calmly. My mom came home and told him that he could go home already. It got quite boring when I gave him the book. He didn't talk or say anything. It just got really silent. I had my ipod on the whole time. And I was completely stuck to my book. When my parent's arrived, he gave them a bow and left as soon as I counted till five. Well, I must tell you, it was fast.

But here's the thing… I don't know exactly what's going on between my family and Tezuka-kun's family. It's funny knowing that I don't know the secrets to my own family. They're hiding something from me and I know it! I just don't really know what the secret is.

If I just knew… I wouldn't be doing something this crazy at this very moment.

Well… guess what it is?

Watching the tennis regulars in their tennis practice.

It's a Saturday morning, two weeks after the day with Tezuka incident. It's around 6:30 AM and we have no exams for today. I've already studied in advance for all the subjects and I'm ready for the teachers. But I just don't get what I'm doing, early in the morning in front of the tennis courts. The regulars are playing around and Inui… well leave him be.

Have I ever told you… Inui…

Well, he's actually my "best friend." Okay, you guys may think that it's Fuji but sorry to disappoint you guys, it ain't him. I love Fuji as a close friend but Inui… is just the greatest best friend in the world. I knew him since… Elementary!

I was his supporter when he was playing doubles with Yanagi. And yes! Yanagi is my best friend too.

I have time for friends, too. I'm not all studies, you know.

So, while I watched the tennis practices, I heard Inui's footsteps walking towards me. I never get scared by the times when he appears out of nowhere. I practically know when he wants to scare me or not. I turned my head to look at Inui who was grinning at me. Oh my goodness, what does he plan to do now?

"Yo, Sadaharu!" I greeted him

"Amai, what are you doing here?"

I thought for an answer but none came to my mind. I stayed silent and just continued to stare at him.

"In my calculations, the last time you came here was to pick me up because you wanted to treat me for my birthday. That happened last year and today isn't my birthday. So, I would think that you would want to come here because you need to see Fuji and Eiji, who are your classmates. But I also found out that you don't really need to see them since there isn't anything you want to tell them." He started babbling.

"Wait, how would you know I don't want to tell them anything?" I asked, just to make sure he isn't making things up.

"I believe you could see them doing nothing but staring at the current game with Echizen and Momoshiro. With your type of attitude towards both of them, there was a huge 92 chance of you going up to them and telling them about school. But since you didn't do that, then that means you wouldn't want to tell them anything."

"That's a good point. So, why else am I here?" I asked. Maybe he would actually know, since I, myself, don't know what the hell I'm doing here.

"Hm" He pulled out his notebook and flipped to some pages. "If you do notice, I haven't written any single data about you. You aren't a tennis player so I wouldn't really know what are your plans when it comes to attacking and defending. But I know everything about you, that I could tell that there is only one reason why you are here."

I wonder what that would be.

"And what is that reason?"

"I am giving a 98 percent on this." He replied.

Is he trying to make a suspense part to this story?

"You are watching Tezuka Kunimitsu."

...

I was speechless for the first two seconds when I finally screamed.

"Impossible!"

"You're reaction seems to mean that you are denying it. Hm" he said "I shall add your name to Tezuka's fan list."

He does that?

"Since when did you write down the names of his fans?" wait... he's gonna write my name? "Don't you dare write my name!"

He pulled out his notebook "ii Data" he said.

He started writing but I pulled the notebook away from him. He stared at me without any reaction. He didn't try to pull the notebook away from me or try to hide it. He just let me stare at it and hold it. It was opened to a certain page and if I read it, he might get mad at me. I turned to give the notebook back to him but when I looked at him, he was gone. He was already back to taking notes from his other teammates. I just wonder how he keeps so many notebooks.

Wait... maybe he's allowing me to see this page. I turned to notebook to see the page and read it.


Tezuka Kunimitsu

65 percent of the day is thinking about tennis.

30 percent of the day is thinking about school - Even with only this little amount of time for school, he continues to stay as the top in the class. I wonder what Amai will think about when she finds out about his.

5 percent of the day is thinking about life - It is a usual habit for him to stay up in the roof just to stare at whatever there is in the sky. I have never actually found out what it is that he thinks about, but I believe he has a life to live. He thinks about his own life.

Amai must also be in the rooftop at that same time. I believe she is reading a book.

Amasawa Amai

He respects her.

I stared at the notebook with complete disbelief. I held on to the notebook and stared at Inui. He still didn't seem to care about the notebook. And I also noticed that other than the pages in the middle, the other pages were all unwritten. I closed the notebook and looked at the cover page.

Tezuka Kunimitsu data for Amai

That was what was written. It seemed to be made just for me. This was the only time I finally realized that I was interested in him. It's not because I like him or anything like that. It was because I hardly know this guy and that I respect him so badly. How can I respect him if I don't even know him? I thought about this logically and I finally made a decision to read the remaining pages. I ran to the classroom and continued reading.

Tezuka is one of the people who I have a hard time getting tennis data on. The other person would be Fuji. I find it interesting that you, Amai, have continued reading this. You see, I never thought that it would be you of all people that would be interested in knowing his data by desperately getting this notebook without my permission.


What do you mean without your permission. Damn you, Sadaharu Inui. Damn you.

YOU FORCED ME TO TAKE GET THIS FROM YOU!

Well, anyway I continued reading.


But, I would never know when you would finally let go of your dreams of being the smartest girl around. I never thought you could take your time out to think about Tezuka. You do know that your morning is only reserved for studies. I feel ashamed, as your best friend, that you have used some of your time to achieve a certain amount of data of Tezuka. But I am doing you a favor by giving a certain amount of info on him. I was really interested in the way you acted when you are alone with him in your house. You see to be so uncalm and nervous. I think I have reminded you already that there really is nothing to be scared about when it comes to Tezuka. His terrifying 20 laps around the court are only great when I have my Inui Juice around. I trust that you believe me when I say this.


Sorry, Sadaharu but I don't. You're juice made me vomit nonstop. Are you trying to make me bulimic? I missed 3rd, 4th, and 5th period, darn it!


As you continue read to the next few paragraphs, you must be reminded that all of this you are reading will only stay between both of us. All my hard work must not be wasted. I used up 10 of my data collecting time for this.

Thus, info on Tezuka Kunimistu officially begins here.


I was ready. I was very ready. I turned to the next page and I found loads and loads of written handwork.

I started reading when...

"Oi, Oi! Amasawa-chan! Isn't that Inui's notebook? Ne, Ne!"

It was Eiji who was hugging me like crazy and asking me nonstop. He knew that Inui was my best friend. But he still can't believe it. I closed the notebook immediately, hoping that he didn't see anything.

"Yeah, it is."

"Can I read?"

"No"

"Why!" he asked with all that cuteness in him.

"Maybe it's something that Inui wrote just for Amasawa. Am I right, Amasawa?" Fuji said as he appeared suddenly.

"Uh, yeah."

"Isn't there anything you should be studying about?" Fuji asked as he placed his bag on his table. Eiji did the same.

"None"

"yeah! There's nothing to study! We have no exams today and I could sleep and daydream the whole time!" Eiji said excitedly. Doesn't he know that we are learning new topics for today? It's sad if he would listen. Some teachers give us surprise exams on the next day after the first lesson.

And so... I reminded him.

"I don't think it's a good idea to sleep. We're having new lessons for today. The teachers might want to give us an exam tomorrow or the next meeting."

"Awww" he said while being so sad and depressed. "But I can't stay awake for the whole day?"

"Why is that?" I asked.

"Yesterday, Eiji was busy playing a new game that his brother bought in the PS. He wouldn't let it go." Fuji answered for him.

"I just wonder how you still stay so happy and energetic for this morning. Oh well, that hyper crazy act will be drained later."

"Yep, yep!" Eiji replied

Well, so that's how my morning started. I think I should read the notebook later.

That sucks.


A/N. BTW thanks Milisante for reviewing and I tried to add other characters, hoped it worked.
