N/A: do you know the drill?
Oh well I don't own the prince of tennis ^^ x3
A few days after Masaharu had started being a regular Emiko still had some problems about him being a regular but she wasn't mad any longer. She had been sick rest of the night because of that Inui-jucie and turning up the next day to training being pretty mad at Inui-senpai who just together with the rest of the regular made her do the same training as the regulars.
"Emizen why are you still wearing your school uniform?" Oishi was the first to recognize that Emiko still hadn't changed.
"Ochibiko got her school uniform!" her dad suddenly shouted and Emiko blushed a bit pulling down in the mid-thigh lenght skirt even though she had a pair of black knee length leggins underneath, she also wore her power wrist but as always where they hidden under her socks
"Yeah we got them last night" Masaharu said, he had also been wearing the school uniform this morning, but as a difference he had the regular polo to change into and he had gotten it already the day after he had made it as a regular.
"So why hasn't you changed yet?" Oishi the mother asked in a friendly tone.
"Well, they got the wrong numbers" she said blushing again, "and I didn't think about bringing my own today" she only had time to try the school uniform on last night and Nanako had been using a lot of time to make sure it would fit Emiko, because it had been to big for her.
"Didn't you try it on last night?" Masaharu asked and Emiko bit her lip again, this time she didn't blush.
"No, I didn't think about trying that on, I only tried on my school uniform and made Nanako make it smaller" Emiko was about to snap of Masaharu but didn't do it.
"I think I have a spare shirt you can borrow" Kikumaru-senpai suddenly said, he made a jump and started running towards the club room, "come on" he said waving at her, and Emiko follow. She got the t-shirt it fit her much better than her own did at the moment.
"It's from my first year" Kikumaru-senpai said blushing a bit. He had grown a lot in the last two year.
"Thank you Kikumaru-senpai" he had also handed her a pair of shorts but she these also seemed like they could be a bit to big for her, but she could always try them on.
"I told you to just call me Eiji" Kikumaru-senpai said, Emiko smiled, it had happened with Oishi as well, he had told her the day before that she could just call him Oishi it was still weird though.
"Thank you Eiji-san" Kikumaru left the clubroom making Emiko alone again. She looked at the shirt and hugged it. It felt weird but then again she had been missing her dad so much and being here, borrowing this from him, it was something she almost couldn't understand.
"15-love" after having changed into Eiji-sans shirt, a pair of shorts and adding the power wrist she couldn't wear thought out school, Emiko had returned to the courts they had been wanted to start some doubles matches because the only real doubles pair they had was the Golden Pair. Masaharu and Emiko had ended up against them.
"15-all Oishi to serve" It was the Golden Pair against the Echzen pair, and they already had a lot of people wanted to see the match, but it was mostly because of the Golden Pair, no one thought that the Echizen's could do any form of team work.
"15-30" but they had gotten better.

~Flashback~

"Come on show me all you got" Nanjirou-san shouted of Emiko and Masaharu. After the Inui-jucie and the day with the regular training Emiko had asked Masaharu to train with her at home. They had ended up in a doubles match against Nanjirou. "Or should I give you a handicap?" this was just provocation but the score was already 4-0, and Masaharu and Emiko continued running into each other. They where both doubles player but they needed their own partner.
"No!" they answered in unison. None of them where good to admit defeat.
"Why don't you go all way?" Masaharu had turned towards Emiko and was looking at her, Nanjirou-san was walking around on the court like it all didn't matter to him. Emiko just glared back not in the mood for caring about what he had to say, but she didn't like the fact that they where loosing again.
"hold this" she said giving Masaharu her racket, he looked at her like she was stupid but she knew what she was doing. She gathered all her hair and putted it in a side-way ponytail, and got her racket back. She jumped a few times and was ready for another ball.
"So Emiko you're ready now?" Nanjirou-san asked and smiled at her. They still lost the game but the two "twins" had suddenly gotten a whole new play and just like they used to know each other when they where kids they had started knowing each other again.

~ End of flashback~
.
it was close match. None of them wanted to lose their serve and none of them did, and suddenly they where in tiebreak.
"Eiji-san can't hold much longer" Emiko looked at Masaharu saying this in a low voice. All of the regulars knew that Kikumaru Eiji had a bad stamina and had trouble lasting throughout an entire game, and especially if it went into tiebreak, but no one knew when he would break. Emiko only knew this because her dad had told her so often.
Emiko was about to go to the front when she felt some one tying up her hair. She turned to look at Masaharu who had made a sideway ponytail. It wasn't as pretty as them she used to make her self but he had seen her making them enough time because they had been playing against Nanjirou-san every night since Masaharu became a regular.
"Why don't you show them your play?" Masaharu asked leaving a surprised Emiko and a confused Golden Pair together with the rest of the regular and tennis team. Emiko turned to face the front and jumped a few times. "That's what I'm talking about" Masaharu served and Oishi hit it back, knowing that Eiji-san was out of energy. Emiko caught his ball and returned it, Eiji-san sudden choice to return the ball.
"It's a loop" one of the audience said, and without looking back Emiko knew that it was hers. She heard Masaharu jumping but it was all a trick.
"Emiko spin~ " Emiko had jumped, twisted in the air and made the perfect twist smash, and just in time she had re-named it
"end of game, Echizen pair win" the referee told them. Everybody was in totally silence. No one dared to say anything. Emiko landed and looked at Eiji-san.
"Eiji~" he had collapsed where he had been standing and was breathing hardly. Emiko had jumped over the net and was at his side.
"You won" he said with a smile. "Oishi we lost against a pair of freshmen" this time he was looking at Oishi who together with Emiko got him standing, and then with an arm over each shoulder they got him on the bench.
"That was amazing" a second year said looking at Emiko with new eyes. Eiji had gotten a towel over his head and a water bottle in his hand.
"naa~" Emiko said blushing a bit "I've only perfected it for a few months ago" she shook the hair back into the mess and placing the elastic on her wrist again.
"Why haven't you shown us this before?" Oishi was asking and looked towards Eiji there still sad under the towel, Emiko got surprised when he suddenly grabbed her wrist. She was sure he was mad at her.
"That was Amazing~" he looked up and a big smile was across his face "Why haven't we seen your acrobatic play before?" he ask suddenly with much mere energy, and Emiko understood, he had been counting to 100 and had reach it.
"Well I wanted to surprise you" Emiko said smiling not knowing why she had hit it that well. Masaharu had joined them placed an arm on Emiko's shoulder.
"Why haven't you made her use that before?" they asked him, and Masaharu looked at Emiko not really knowing what to say. Emiko was somewhat surprised Eiji-san hadn't recognized her power wrist, but maybe that was a good thing.
"Our dad raised us with singles tennis even though we're twins" Emiko started,
"We had totally different playing styles, so he didn't thought we could play together" Masaharu continued.
"I'm playing in the girls team and Masa is playing in the boys team" it was the first time she had used a shorter version of Masaharu's name but it felt better in her mouth for some reason.
"We started playing doubles with our different partners," Masaharu looked towards Emiko, "So we only just started playing together as a team" Masaharu continued while he still looked at Emiko, who just nodded, telling him that their story was good, and almost true.
"Buchou~ Why don't we make them as our doubles 2?" Eiji had rose to his feet and was looking towards Tezuka-buchou who had joined them.
"That could may-be, be a good idea" Inui-senpai said, still scribbling something down while fixing his glasses. They all seemed to agree and suddenly they both where a part of regular team, now as Seigaku's doubles 2.
