I meant for this to be uploaded last weekend, but it somehow slipped my mind... Sorry. So to make up for it, two chapters will be uploaded today! It's currently 1:23AM and I'm going to see a movie with my friends later on during the day so the next chapter will be uploaded when I get home. Oh, has anyone else seen the New Prince of Tennis anime? I read part of the manga for it, but I'm terrible when it comes to manga. I never finish it, so you won't believe how happy I was when my best friend (who knows I love Prince of Tennis but doesn't care much about it herself) told me and gave me a link to the first episode. Ahh second episode should be out like... today? Soon? I'm not good with dates if you haven't noticed...
Okay before I ramble, here's chapter 4. I hope you all enjoy it and for my older readers- I really hope you're all enjoying the changes I made!
Sakura giggled as she waved to Kikumaru while her and Mizuiro walked by. Mizuiro just gave her a weird look, since the other day Sakura has been in a better mood than normal and it freaking her out.
"Hoi hoi Kura-chan!" Kikumaru waved back happily
"Why are you in such a good mood? This isn't normal." Mizuiro stated as she eyed her best friend while they walked by a bush taking a small glance at the shine of a camera lens.
"Nothing" Sakura giggled as they switched their rackets to their left hand so other schools would get wrong data on them.
"Something's up, tell me" Mizuiro laughed "I've never seen you in such a good mood"
"Hmm… Maybe I'll tell you later then, well more like I should tell you" Sakura said with a smile as Mizuiro shook her head
"We promised to tell each other everything and anything, so you better tell me" Mizuiro laughed still shaking her head
"Hoi hoi" Sakura replied as they began to practice
When practice was about to end Sakura noticed that the rest of the other school's spies were gone and smiled as she switched back to her right hand to return the last ball.
"Woo we're done for the day!" Sakura cheered as she ran off the court to change back to her uniform in the girl's locker room.
"Kura-chan, lets go play some street tennis" Mizuiro said when she walked in after Sakura
"Hm?" Sakura sounded as she turned to her after she put on her uniform "Bored?"
"A little, and I know you are as well" Mizuiro replied "Besides you have to tell me what's up"
"I was hoping you would forget…" Sakura grumbled to herself
"You know I don't forget easily" Mizuiro laughed as Sakura nodded
"I can always hope" Sakura mumbled as they walked out together and told Fuji and Kikumaru that they were going out before going home. Sakura hummed happily as they ran up the stairs, ignoring Mizuiro's yelling at her to slow down.
"Ah, that's Momo-chan and Kudomine's Kamio" Mizuiro said once she reached the top and could see the courts
"Hmm I wonder what they're doing" Sakura said as they walked up to the courts to find Tachibana Ann and Gyokurin's Izumi and Fukawa
"Isn't that Hyoutei Kura-chan?" Mizuiro asked as she looked at the people Momoshiro and Kamio were playing against in doubles
"Yeah, I heard they're the number one seed in the regionals." Sakura nodded "Wait, doesn't Yu-chan go there?" Mizuiro nodded as Sakura whined realizing that they wouldn't be able to play. Mizuiro just sighed as she shook her head feeling a headache coming
"Well this is definitely better than the Momo-Echizen pair" Mizuiro said as she observed the match
"Wow they actually won!" Sakura said happily even though she knew it was only because the dark grey haired guy told the bigger guy to stop. When the guy with the dark guy hair introduced himself as Atobe Keigo, Sakura blinked a few times.
"Atobe?" Mizuiro mumbled to herself knowing she heard the name a few times before
"I know!" Sakura shouted causing everyone to stare at her "He's the guy in Yu-chan's class!" Mizuiro shook her head while everyone stared at Sakura like she was crazy
"Which one? There's Yuushi and Yuri" Mizuiro asked
"Aren't they both in his class?" Sakura asked in return
"So how do you address them then?" Mizuiro asked expecting a weird answer
"Well I call Yuushi Yuu-kun and Yuri Yu-chan" Sakura smiled happily like it was an awesome idea
"They sound the same…" Mizuiro sighed shaking her head again
"No it doesn't!" Sakura shouted as everyone stared at them when they began to bicker if it sounded the same or not
"How do you know Oshitari and Suzuki?" Atobe asked surprised that they knew not one, but two Hyoutei students
"Well…" Sakura started as she was about to go through the whole story about how they met the two but Mizuiro hand covered her mouth giving Sakura an annoyed glance
"We don't want to hear the whole story Kura-chan" Mizuiro sighed "Yuri went to Seigaku for her first year and she was in our class so we became friends quickly. We met Yuushi we went on a trip to Kansai when we were little."
"You always say the quick and boring way" Sakura grumbled when Mizuiro took her hand off her mouth
"Eh? It's this late already? I need to go, tell Yuushi and Yuri that Mizu-chan and Kura-chan said hi!" Mizuiro said ignoring Sakura's comment before leaving. Sakura snickered, Mizuiro had forgotten to question her.
"Regulars gather around!" Ryuzaki called to the team. Inui explained what they had to do for their special training and what everyone was. Kaidoh, Fuji and Oishi were counter punchers, Kawamura and Momo were aggressive baseliners, Kikumaru and Mizuiro were serve and volley, Tezuka, Ryoma and Sakura were all rounders. Everyone panicked when they heard that they would have to drink the Inui Juice if they failed.
"First Match: full court Tsukioka, half court Hikari"
"I'm not losing to you Mi-chan!" Sakura declared as she pointed her racket Mizuiro with a serious look on her face
"We'll see about that!" Mizuiro replied as Inui served the ball saying it would be a disadvantage for one of them to serve. After a few minutes Mizuiro won with a drop shot. Sakura sulked as she grabbed the cup from Inui who's glasses shined evilly in the light
"Did you bring the anti-formula Mizu-chan?" Sakura asked as she stared at the evil drink thinking she just saw a bubble from it.
"No, sorry" Mizuiro replied with a frown "I didn't think we would need it today"
Sakura gulped uneasily before she downed the drink and pretended to faint making everyone else freak out.
"Fooled you!" Sakura said playfully as she jumped back up giving everyone a peace sign but no one relaxed knowing that half of them would have to drink it still. After they're special training was over Ryuzaki began to announce the line up for their match against St. Rudolph
"So we're going to play against Ta-chan soon?" Sakura asked curiously as she turned to Fuji and Mizuiro
"Yeah" Mizuiro replied
"Oh I can't wait to see little Ta-chan again!" Sakura exclaimed happily as they walked off the court before running over to Kikumaru and jumped on his back
"Kura-chan!" he laughed as Sakura giggled
"So I was thinking I would spend some free time with you on Sunday" Sakura whispered not wanting everyone else to hear
"Of course!" Kikumaru smiled as he stopped in front of the boy's locker room
"Okay I'll talk to you later!" Sakura smiled as she jumped off his back and ran off to the girl's locker room to change
