They ended up taking me to some burger joint that instantly reminded me of McDonalds in the States. After we ordered our food they began to interrogate me like I had murdered someone and was trying to cover it up. They asked:

"Where were you?"

"In North America."

"Are you really Echizen's sister?"

"Hai."

"How come you didn't move here with your family?"

"I had business to attend to."

"What kind of business?"

I really was scared for my life. I was surprised they didn't search me but found out it was only because the food arrived. I sweat dropped. 'They are such guys.' I thought. After eating and paying, Ryoma and I said our good-byes and headed back to the temple we call home. Secretly I had bought a house here but it's temporarily under construction. Shhh don't tell anyone...yet.

We walked inside, took off our my shoes, Ryoma went outside to challenge the pervert, and went into the kitchen.

"Kizu-chan, how was your first day?" asked Nanako. I sighed.

"It could have gone better. I don't even know why I'm in school" I said putting on an apron and began to help with dinner. "You want to be closer to Ryoma and for once be with kids your own age." answered Kaa-san. I grinned.

'Maybe.' I thought.

After Dinner

I sat there full looking at the left over food on my plate. I generally don't eat a lot unlike cough, cough Ryoma. He's a pig. An adorable pig, I laughed at the thought.

"Oi, Nee-san?"

"Nani?" [What?

"Can you come to morning practice with me tomorrow?" he asked.

"Nande?" [Why?

"Please!?" he pleaded using the puppy dog eyes. I sighed. He gets me every time.

"What time?" he grinned.

"6 a.m."

"NANI!!! WHAT ARE YOU? NOCTURNAL BATS!!??" I yelled.

"No. And it gets light out early here." he said matter-of-factly.

"D-demo [but it's 6 in the morning." I whined. He nodded and did the most innocent smile.

"I know." he said running up the stairs to his room. Karupin jumped in my lap.

"You feel my pain don't you?" I asked. He just meowed cutely.

"I thought so."

Morning

Walking down the street, yawning, very sleepily. I walked with half opened eyes letting Ryoma guide me. When we arrived at practice I immediately laid down on the bench trying to get in the rest of my sleep.

It hadn't even been to minutes and I was already in danger of getting hit. Yes I was outside the gate, but some Moron, and I stress the word, left the gate door open, and the person who hit the ball would have poor aim.

'Just my luck.'

I didn't even move as the ball headed toward me rapidly. So I counted down from ten.

"WATCH OUT!!!" yelled someone, but I didn't budge. I was too damn tired.

'3...2...1' I thought and caught the ball some inches away from my face. Right now I was in an awkward position. My left arm was draped over my face as I lay on my back on the bench. My right hand, which was on my stomach, held the ball in the position I had caught it. I definitely wasn't a morning person and they picked the wrong time the mess up.

Sleepily I got up. Everyone was frozen still waiting for my reaction. I walk up to the nearest person, who happened to be Kaidoh-san, snatched his racket and got into a serving position. I bounced the ball a bit, caught it, glared at the incompetent novice juniors and hit the ball so hard it stuck in the fence on the other side of the court. Mind you it was 3 courts wide, so I made an impression.

My glare darkened and they took a few steps away from me. I pointed the racket in their direction. They were scared shitless and at the moment I didn't care.

"Generally I'm a nice person, but sadly I DON'T do mornings. Now, I may be Echizen's sister, and a 3rd year middle-schooler, but I don't give a damn who you are. If you mess with me in the morning I'm going to kick you ass. Is that understood!?" I half yell. Everyone nods furiously.

'I think some of them pissed their pants.' I mentally laughed.

I turn, give Kaidoh-san his racket, and lay back down on the bench. After a few minutes I hear noise again as they get over their shock. I smile.

'I think I'm going to like this team.'

Inui, Kikumaru, and Momo

"Echizen's nee-san is scary." says Momo and Kikumaru in unison. At some point during my speech they had hid behind Inui who was taking notes on my behavior.

"Yes scary." repeats Inui pushing up his glasses.

B2Me Lunch

I unpack my bento box [a packed lunch ignoring the drooling kids around me. Just as I as ready to eat Tezuka-kun walks in with Oishi behind him. 'Great my luck is steadily going down hill today.' I sighed. Tezuka looked around the room at all the drooling kids then looked at me.

"Why do you insist on making a scene?" he asked walking up to my desk. He was his usual expressionless self. 'If he wasn't such a prick he would be a lot cuter.' I thought. I narrowed my eyes. "It not like I want the attention. I can't help it if my lunch looks delicious and pretty." I replied crossing my arms. He scoffed. "I see." he said and walked to his seat with Oishi.

I looked at my lunch and scowled. "Now I don't even want it." I mumble packing up the lunch and head toward the 1st year hallway. Maybe Ryoma would want my lunch.

As I walk down the hallway a glare it set deeply into my features. 'Baka ruined my lunch.'

Tezuka and Oishi

"Ano...Tezuka what happened?" asks Oishi confused. Tezuka didn't say anything but just looked out the window. This left Oishi completely confuzzled. Why was Tezuka so tense? 'It seems like Kizuka-chan is really getting to him.' he [Oishi thought.

'Maybe he...no it can't be, can it?' he asked himself. He didn't want to believe it but he was beginning to believe to that Tezuka had a crush on her.

B2MeAfter school practice

I actually got dressed for practice this time, on Ryoma's request. I think he's planning something and I don't like it. But anyway back to currently.

Since I was the first one there, I stood on the court leaning against the gate, arms crossed, and my hat covering my eyes. Oh! Let me tell you what I'm wearing. I'm wearing a baggy black t-shirt with 'It's Suicide to go against Me.' written in bold green letters on the front. My hair was hidden by the same black cap with the 'K' on it, baggy green shorts to match the letters, black Fila sneakers, and of course my wrist band. Cool huh? You can tell what my favorite colors are.

After a while of waiting I walked to my bag and pulled out my practice racket. I swung it a few times before checking the strings. Taking a ball from my bag I began to play a little game. Like paddle ball I hit the ball up and down while standing at baseline, my left hand deep in my pocket. That's when they showed up.

"Hey it's...that girl from the tournament." states Kikumaru. Ryuzaki laughed. "Looks like one of you caught her eye." she said and then sat on the bench.

I stand silent continuing with my little game. Kaidoh was the first to speak. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" he glared harshly. I smirk. "One of you play a game with me and I'll tell you, win or lose." I state stopping the ball on the racket.

They looked at one another before picking Ryoma to play. He shrugged and got ready. I threw him the ball. "You can serve first." I said. He shrugged again.

'This will be our first match in a long time.' I thought excitedly. 'Maybe I'll show off.' Ryoma looked at me as if he knew what I was thinking, and then smirked. I narrowed my eyes.

'He definitely has something planned and it doesn't have to do with Tennis.'
