The sound of a ball bouncing continuously off the wall is the only thing I hear. I've tuned the world out, me focusing on the little black spot I've created from hitting the ball hard against the wall...in the same spot.

'Twist Spin Shot: The shot consisting of the use of a Top spin slice. Uses the arm and shoulder muscles vigorously to the point that the bones will break or dislocate the shoulder.' I think to myself.

"The match is going to start in a minute." I hear behind me. I hit the ball one last time then stop it with the racket and catch it. I turn to see...Yuuta standing there an expectant look on his face. I force a smile. "I made a promise to you didn't I?" he nods as we walk back to the courts. "My name is Echizen Kizuka." I say in the cheeriest tone I could muster.

As the court comes into view I stop and turn to the younger Fuji, a serious look on my face. "Yuuta-kun you should really reconsider that shot, The Twist Spin Shot." "Nande?" he asks. I walk away only to turn my head slightly with a glare. "Trust me your not ready for its dangers." with that I walk to the gate, but I don't stop there. I open the gate and sit next to Ryuzaki.

"Ah, so what brings you to the coaches' bench?" she asks amused. I glare. "I want a front row seat of that bastards suffering." She chuckles lightly as the game begins.

I watch as Fuji basically throws points away, giving Mizuki the impression that he is winning. I narrow my eyes at the jerk every time he hit the ball. 'Fuji-nii is baiting him.' I think smirking. Soon it was change court and for a split second they stop to exchange words. When they were on the court again Fuji looked more pissed than ever.

"LIKE I SAID BEFORE, KICK HIS ASS FUJI-NII!!!" I shout. Although was a lot less loud than my other ones. I think I'm losing my voice. Nonetheless Fuji kicks it into to gear, showing Mizuki what he's really made of. After scoring his first point, Fuji tells the figure of incompetence on the other side of the court that he has no weaknesses and everything is his forte.

After a very hilarious breakdown from Mizuki, well in my opinion it was hilarious others probably thought it was just sad, Fuji wins match; a flawless victory, well if he hadn't thrown the first 5 games, but anyway. Everyone cheered relentlessly as Fuji walked up to the next. Mizuki had fallen to his knees, wondering why his 'data hadn't worked.

I emit a heavy sigh and walk up and stand next to Fuji. "Arigatou for taking care of my brother." comments a glowering Fuji as a smirk creeps n to my face. "Psh. I never thought I'd see the day when Fuji-nii would whip someone's ass in tennis so mercilessly." I laugh at Mizuki's breakdown before jumping on the retreating back of Fuji. Surprised at the sudden weight he teeters a bit but gains his balance so as not to fall. He wraps his arms around my legs to keep me from falling off as well. I laugh as he does. "Good job, Fuji-nii." I congratulate him with a kiss on the cheek. "Arigatou Kizu-chan."

After everyone congratulates him I spy Inui-san walking to another court. I trail him, my curiosity overriding my conscience. "Matte, Inui-san." I call making him turn to me. "Ah, Kizuka-san, what are you are doing here?" "Ano, I wanted to see what you were up to." I say tapping my chin with my index finger. "Sou ka, I'm gathering data on our next opponents." I nod. "I'll join you then." we walk up behind Shiba them half to death with his sneaky ninja skills.

'He scares me sometimes all the time.'

I watch Fudomine kick Hyotei's ass without mercy but I got this weird feeling that Hyotei wasn't giving their all. Well it also could have been mistaken for annoyance from the shouting figure next to me. She had on the Fudomine uniform, noticeable purple hair and a camera around her neck. Her shouting was giving me a headache.

"Could you tone that down just a bit?" I ask using my index finger and thumb the signify 'a bit'. She looks at me like I'm an alien. "You see that person playing? He's important. Your not so Go.Away." she says with a preppy smile and goes back to cheering. "Well you obviously haven't seen yourself lately, because you're not exactly Utada Hikaru." she scowls. "Your right I'm much better." she says. I growl ready to rip her head off. I raise my hand but is stopped by Inui who has finished his data gathering.

As he drags me away she waves bye as if we were the best of friends. I glare and give her the beheading sign. Inui lead me back over to the team for the announcement of the final 4 teams to go to the Kantou Regional. While that was going on I called for a limo to pick us up so we could go back to the mansion. Spying Yuuta I invited him as well.

"Oi minna, gather around." calls Ryoma, a grin on his face. 'Yeah, the gluttonous one wouldn't forget free food.' I think with a sweat drop. "Nee-chan has something to say." He then turns to me. I would so like to tie him up and send him to one of his fan girls. More specifically Tomo. I smirk inwardly.

"Nani Kizu-nee?" asks Momo. "I'm inviting you guys over for dinner." I mumble loud enough for them to hear. "Nyah, Kizu-chan, are you cooking?" asks an enthusiastic Eiji. I roll my eyes "Hai, hai." I reply with a sigh. "Yay!" they cheer as I walk away to the limo.

"CHOTTO MATTE!!" everyone yells after me of course except Kunimitsu and Ryuzaki. As I slide into the limo the Regulars stand outside looking at the car in awe. Once everyone was inside, still slack jawed, we were on our way. "Did we miss something?" asks a confused Oishi. I shake my head. "Iie." "Then why are we in a limo?" "Because I bought it." They get silent. I look to Ryoma for some help, hey I am desperate.

"Oyaji gave Nee-chan the money he had left over from his earning from his pro days." Lied Ryoma. They 'oh' buying into it, but only Me, Ryoma, Tezuka, and Ryuzaki knew the real deal. "Oh yeah guys let me introduce you to the driver his name is Airen, I look up to him like a grandfather." I say. Airen waves a bit so not to take his eyes off the road. I name off everyone to him each giving a curt hello, hi, or nice to meet you.

"Kizuka-sama, we've arrived." announced Airen a discreet smirk on his face as he looks through the rearview mirror. Unknown to me I am holding Kunimitsu's hand. I didn't notice this until after everyone had met, got a tour of the house and settled in the dining room as I go into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

I put my hair into a ponytail, push up the jacket sleeves, the jacket I still haven't given back, and put on an apron. After washing my hands thoroughly I turn to see 7 smirking/grinning faces. I pause, feeling an interrogation about to start. I narrow my eyes into a suspicious glare.

"Nani?" I ask cautiously. I take a step back as they take a step forward. "Kizuka-sana, are you not telling us something?" questions Rei a mischievous glint in his eyes. I shake my head. "What ever are you talking about?" I feign stupid. "You know we could do this the hard way or the easy way." comments Kris with a dark look. I think on it a moment. 'Hmm, I could lie and take the risk of Kris hacking me in two with a butcher knife or tell them, and risk a gushy moment and by glompage, which I might be able to get out of.'

Tough decision isn't it.

With a heavy sigh I decide to tell them...something. "Fine, I'll tell you but it's a secret." "Okay." They all say in unison, which totally freaked me out because that's never happened before. "Well, what had happened was..."

-Everyone in the Dining Room-

Momo and Kaidoh are fighting about something the Regulars have lost track of Ryuzaki is speaking to Tezuka about the upcoming matches. Oishi is trying to calm Eiji, who is excited about tasting Kizuka's food, from choking the deemed Ochibi of the group. Kawamura is talking to Fuji calmly about classes while Inui is scaring the Hell out of Yuuta who is sitting calmly cough glaring at Fuji cough

Ryoma sweat drops at everyone. 'I hope Nee-chan hurry's. I want my food before I die.' he thinks holding his knife and fork, ready to bam on the table.

-In the Kitchen-

"Well even though it's cruel, it's cute, and somewhat romantic." Gushes Lisa, cutting the tomatoes. I angrily finish seasoning the meat and put it in the oven. "I'm going to check on the guys." I say my nose in the air. I walk out the swinging to the dining room to see everyone looking bored.

"Dinner won't be ready for at least...looks at wristwatch another 30 minutes. How about you do to the game room?" At this Momo stands up slamming his hands on the table. "You have a game room?!!" I nod slowly. "Yeah." "Let's go Kikumaru-senpai, Echizen." with that they are out the room Kaidoh and Yuuta following slowly. Oishi and Taka-san sigh. "We should go to make sure they don't hurt or kill themselves." they get up and follows.

I shake my head hopelessly with a smile. "They're like children. Of course, Kunimitsu is like the fatter." I say matter-of-factly. "And wouldn't that make you the mother?" smirks Fuji. I blush a dark red as Kunimitsu blushes a light shade of pink. Ryuzaki laughs. "I think we should check on the others Fuji." states Ryuzaki, Fuji nods and they both get up and leave the room.

'That just leave me and Kunimitsu...alone...together.'

I sit across from him diverting eye contact. 'Great, I can't even look at him because of that comment.' "Kizuka?" he asks, I look up. "Since tomorrow we have the day off, I was wondering if you wanted to spend the day with me." I look at him with a raised eyebrow. "You mean like a date?" he nods. I smile slightly. "I'd like that." I blush when I see him smile and quickly get up to go back into the kitchen. 'What's happening to me?!' When I push on the door I hear a big commotion on the other side. I glare. "BAKAS!! STOP EAVESDROPPING!!!"

-30 MINUTES LATER-

"Ah, this is great Kizu-nee!" exclaims Momo in between stuffing his face. I nod sort of disgusted and an anger vain popping out on my head. "BAKA. Don't talk with your mouth full." Says Kaidoh calmly. "Arigatou Kaidoh-san." I say and side glare at Momo telling him to shut up before he could start another argument. "You know you guys can pick a room and stay over whenever you want." I say casually. They brighten up. "Really?" they ask, I nod. "Yeah, it's not like Kizuka-hime is going to use them all by herself. There are 21 rooms left pick one." says Kamon. "Yeah, we need to fill up this big house!" exclaim Dawn. "Sugoi, Lets go pick out rooms!" shouts an over excited Momo not paying attention to where his hands land on the table. Unfortunately it was on a spoon full of mashed potatoes and a hint of gravy. The ball of food accidentally landed on the side of Kaidoh's face. My side of the table holds down their laugh, sadly Momo's side couldn't. "Ah, Mamushi, you look hilarious." Momo struggled out between laughs. I shook my head as Kaidoh wiped off the food from his face glaring. 'This is not going to end well.' I think watching Kaidoh take a hand full of green beans and throws them at Momo. Unfortunately it hits Dawn square in the face. My laughter is sputtered out as it takes her a second to realize that she was the one hit. A smirk then crosses her face. I stand up already knowing what she is thinking. "Dawn don't---" but I never finish my sentence.

"FOOD FIGHT!!!" she yells triggering an explosion of food flying every which way. I slowly bend down taking cover under the table.

"Well there goes good food." I sigh.
