Chapter 10

"Okaa-san!" Ryoko greeted her mother Rinko. "Tadaima." She smiled.

"Okaerinasai." Rinko also gave her daughter a smile. Ryoko is known as a more sociable girl compared to Ryoma. She is somebody who excels in drawing and arts. She can also play the piano but does not really prioritize it, but somehow both of them are 'not good in the kitchen.'

"So another brat came in." Nanjiroh said while hiding his porn mag upon Rinko's view. "Nanjiroh!" Rinko scolded his husband in his very improper greeting.

"Baka Oyaji!" The sisters said in unison.

"Oi You two is that the way how you treat your father?!" Nanjiroh exclaimed.

"Well you should act like one Oyaji!" Ryoko said in a 'bit' harsh manner. Ryoko was also used in making his father suffer. It became her hobby so as her sister Ryoma. They both became Nanjiroh's pain in the neck.

"Yeah, and with that irresponsible attitude of yours almost impossible." Ryoma and Ryoko nodded. Nanako and Rinko gave a silent laugh.

"Geez women, they always complain." Nanjiroh gave out a sigh.

"NOT REALLY!" Ryoma, Ryoko, Rinko and Nanako all said in chorus. Nanjiroh was speechless.

The family was having dinner and it's a japanese style dinner, unlike the sisters Nanako was a great cook.

"Nanako-chan sure is a great cook!" Ryoko said in a 'cute' manner.

"Hn." Ryoma nodded as a sign of agreement. She took a bite in her deep fried shrimp. Ryoma was satisfied, she's still hungry after Momo and Kikumaru's treat.

After their dinner, Rinko helped Ryoko move in her new room. It was a room near Ryoma's, just one door away. Ryoko unpacked her luggages.

Ryoma was doing her homework when her older sister came inside. She was scribbling and solving algebra problems. She did have a hard time on doing the intercept method, elimination and substitution.

"Ryoma-chan, How's Seigaku?" She asked in a very gentle tone while taking a peek at her sister's homework.

"Oh it's just a typical school that have high standards in tennis." Ryoma said in a bored tone.

"I see, Are you enjoying yourself and do they know?" Ryoko smiled a bit.

"Somehow, but those guys can really make me snap out and they know about that." Ryoma's eye twitched.

"Ah... so my sister was again having her fans attack, so annoying and troublesome Ne?" She was sweatdropped.

"So annoying fangirls screaming and those stupid boys staring it's really a catastrophe!" She suddenly remembered her school days.

"I hope I enjoy in this school." She said in a cheerful tone. Her expression suddenly changed.

"Ne Do you like somebody?" Ryoko was on her 'gossip girl' mode she let out a sadistic smile. Ryoma almost choke when she heard her question.

"Nanyatte! What the hell are you talking about?! Me in love no way! It's so disgusting! I don't want to be like those stupid girls who follow those bastards like dogs! I can't bear to see flirts!" Ryoma was yelling and blushed when an image of Tezuka flashed in her mind.

'Why did I suddenly remember him?' Ryoma's face was crimson red.

"I knew it! You do like somebody!" Ryoko's grin widened.

"Shut Up!" Ryoma was annoyed.

"I was just asking a yes or no question and you suddenly have out of this world ideas. It's obvious! you're in denial Ryoma-chan!" She let out a fake laugh.

'She is really stubborn I hope she can already remove that mask and be herself' Ryoko thought.

"Ne, Onee-chan Why did you suddenly leave States?" Ryoma asked in a more serious tone. She noticed a change of reaction in her sister's facial expression.

'something was not right' Ryoma thought.

"Whatever it is I think it's not important." She avoided Ryoma's eyes and looked in another direction.

"I just want to know." Ryoma tried to convince her sister to tell the truth.

"Ah it's already late. I still need to prepare for tomorrow and get some nice sleep!" She yawned and went out of Ryoma's room, obviously she avoided Ryoma's question.

"Nee-chan, I hope you can tell me." She said in a tone a bit disappointed.

Ryoko went out of Ryoma's room depressed she suddenly remembered how hard her life was.

"Gomenasai, Ryoma-chan I still can't tell you." She went inside her room to prepare for tomorrow.

Ryoma was thinking about her sister when somebody called in her cellphone. It was only two rings and she answered it.

"Moshi Moshi." Ryoma's bored voice answered the caller.

"Is this Misaki-chan?" Yukimuara asked.

"Hai, who is this?" Ryoma asked.

"Did you already forget me? It's Yukimura Seiichi."

"Ah yeah I remember from the hospital right, Yu-ah Seiichi-kun!" Ryoma smiled a bit.

"I'm glad that you didn't forgot, most popular people forgot easily." Oops direct hit. Ryoma was a forgetful person.

"Ah Betsuni. Why did you suddenly call Seiichi-kun?"

"Do I need a reason to call?"

"No demo..." Ryoma said in a confused tone.

"I just want to hear your voice, you can tell me anything like problems promise I will listen."

"Ah Sou ka... I'm kinda disappointed today."

"Why?" Yukimura asked curiously.

"It's just that my sister seems to be keeping something I just felt bad because before she's always open to tell me her problems, but now I don't know what to do?"

"Just give her time to think, maybe your sister just don't like to involve you in her problems. Think positive Misaki-chan. She just don't want to give you another problem. maybe she still thinks that she can solve it without any help. Just give time and trust her. You'll feel better." Yukimura said these words in a very heart warming manner.

"Arigato Seiichi-kun we should never give up. I still want to meet you in the court." Ryoma smiled.

"I'm always here for you." He said in a sarcastic manner.

'does he mean anything' Ryoma was confused.

"I'm also here for you Seiichi-kun, so I hope you get better soon."

"I also hope so, I guess it's time for you to sleep already." Yukinura was relieved.

"Hai! Ja Ne! I'll visit you some time."

"Ja! I will be expecting you!" They both hang the phone.

'Seiichi-kun he's somebody who is very reliable... and kind.' Ryoma unconsciously blushed.

'Misaki-chan, she is really something... I feel that she is special' Yukimura thought.

Seishun Gakuen:

"Ryoma-chan this school is huge!" Ryoko was stunned to see Seigaku's school grounds.

"You think so?" Ryoma looked bored.

"Well you really look like a boy in your uniform, maybe if I don't know you I'll definitely have a crush on you." She exclaimed and smiled cheerfully.

"And I'll just ignore you!" Ryoma walked faster.

"Hey I'm just kidding!" She tried to catch up to her sister's pace of walking.

"Just go in that building and you'll find the principal's office." Ryoma pointed a school building.

"Ah Thanks, but aren't you supposed to guide me." She said in a chibi form.

"I'm not obligated to do that and you're older I believe you can take care of yourself and I still have tennis practice."

"Sheesh Stubborn attitude again."

"What?"

"Betsu ni!" Ryoko exclaimed. She went into the buliding Ryoma pointed. She walked and can't help to compare Seigaku to her old school.

"It seems that the schools here are more exciting." She said to herself. She found the principal's office.

"Ano... I'm Echizen Ryoko the transfer student."

"Ah you're the one, Here is your class schedule, you are now in class 2-2. Hope you enjoy Echizen-san."

"Arigato."

"And also please fill up your application form if you want to join any club. Here's the list of club that Seigaku have."

Ryoko nodded and realized that it's another start. She should not stay in the past

Forget the sad memories, and welcome the future.

She was ready to face her new life.

"Hajimemashite, Watashi wa Echizen Ryoko desu." Ryoko bowed down. "E-echizen..." She heard murmurs from the class.

'What a welcome' She thought.

"Who wants to ask questions to Echizen-san?" The teacher asked.

"Me!" Almost all of them raised their hands. Ryoko and the teacher were sweatdropped.

"Ah! Just one question please.. Our time will not be enough?" The teacher tried to calm the students.

"HOW ARE YOU RELATED TO ECHIZEN RYOMA?!" Almost all of them asked.

'I knew it!' She thought.

"A-ano she is my younger sister." She said in a cheerful manner.

"Sugoi!" A random girl said.

"Hontou!" Another one exclaimed.

"AMAZING!" One almost yelled.

"Echizen-san you can sit in that vacant desk."

"A-arigato."

Ryoko hoped that she'll do better this time. Her classmates really gave her a warm welcome.

Tennis Practice:

"Did you hear about the transfer student?" Arai asked his classmates who were also members of the tennis club.

"Yes but we don't know what class." A random boy answered.

Ryoma entered the courts with a very bored facial expression. She was thinking if her sister had a good time.

"Ryoma-kun did you hear about the new transfer student?" Kachiro asked.

"Hn" She knows that the transfer student was her sister.

Practice started and this time it's self practice, they can practice whatever they want.

"So here's the court!" Ryoko said to herself. "Ryoma-chan."

"Kikumaru-senpai, Momo-senpai?" Ryoma made a grin.

"Ah E-echizen/O-ochibi" They both said in unison.

"Can I have a match... AGAIN..." She gave them a glare.

'If looks could kill' She thought.

"Can I pass Echizen since my body was still aching because of yesterday." Momo said.

"Me too ochibi My arm hurts." Kikumaru smiled nervously.

"And OCHIBI/ECHIZEN Did you already forgive us?"

"No not yet!" Ryoma sent another glare.

'Mou she's pissed off' Ryoko was sweatdropped

"Eh why we already treated you yesterday and you really got all our money." They both said.

"That wasn't enough, calling me a flat chested freak and..." Anger was swallowing her. She's about to snap out.

'Uh-Oh!' Ryoko was worried.

"O-ochibi!"

"We made her more angry! We'll really be killed!" Momo panicked.

"Help us Nya!" Kikumaru whailed.

Suddenly Ryoma's cellphone rang. She answered her phone. She went outside the court. Kikumaru and Momo felt relieved.

"Hello." Her voice was pissed off.

"Ah Misaki-chan... Why are you annoyed?"

"Betsu ni just two monkeys are very annoying."

"Two monkeys huh... just forgive them they're animals anyway."

"A-animals eh?" She thought a monkey version of Momo and Eiji fighting over a banana.

"Hahaha I didn't expect you had some sense of humor Seiichi-kun." She laughed.

"Really? I do have."

"You made me feel better again, I was about to yell at two monkeys. Thanks for making me stop or else I'll look like crazy!"

"Really... I'm glad I called."

"You really make me feel better. I hope I can repay you with something just ask me."

"I'll think about it." 'Maybe a date will do' Yukimura thought.

"I'm on tennis practice right now Seiichi-kun I'll call you tonight."

"Okay Bye!"

"Bye!"

End of call:

Ryoma went back in the courts. She smiled and it gave Momo and Kikumaru a surprise.

"Who called you Ochibi?"

"It doesn't matter just thank that person if he didn't call who knows what might happen?"

Shiver ran down in Momo and Kikumaru's spine. Miracles do happen.

"Ryoma-chan!" Ryoko called.

"Ah Nee-chan."

"Onee-chan!!" All the regulars were shocked except Tezuka and Fuji.

"Watashiwa Kunimitsu Tezuka...buchou of Seigaku tennis club.

"So you are the Tezuka Kunimitsu, Ryuzaki-sensei was talking about! Nice to meet you Kunimitsu-san! And probably you are Fuji Syuusuke-san?" Ruka said as she pointed the tensai.

"Hai, I'm glad to know that Echizen has a beautiful sister." Fuji mumbled.

"Thank You Fuji-san..." Suddenly Ruka blushed a bit making her cheeks puff and look like a chibi...

"I am Oishi Syuuichiro fukubuchou of Seigaku!"

"Nyahh...I'm a 3rd year Kikumaru Eiji!!"

"Ii data, Echizen has a sister, Hajimemashite I'm Sadaharu Inui..."

"Wow I met a braniac!"

"I'm Takashi Kawa..." He was cut off

"Taka-senpai your racket!" Momo butted in.

"Burning I'm Takashi Kawamura Baby!!" Taka shouted as he waved his racket acting like a mad man in the street.

"Sugoi, I can't believe he has dual personalities!" She said while sweat dropped!

"I'm Momoshiro Takeshi Nice to meet you, you can call me Momo-chan or Momo."

"fffffsssssssshhhhhhhuuuuuuuu! All you want is only show off porcupine-head!! Kaidoh interrupted.

"Ma-mu-shi, just go away somewhere!" Momo-shouted

"Shut up porcupine head!"

"The one with a bandana is Kaoru Kadoh!"

"So he's also a weirdo!"

"Momo and Kaidoh...30 laps!" Tezuka ordered them

"Demo buchou..."

"50 laps."

"Are they always fighting like that?" Ryoko asked.

"Hai!" Eiji nodded

"A-n-o!!You can call me Ryoko not Echizen, I know that were both Echizens so you can call me in my first name.

"Hai...I will call you Ryoko-chan!" Kikumaru shouted out.

"Nice to meet all of you! Thanks for taking care of my sister."

"Betsu ni Ryoko-chan." Kikumaru answered.

"By the way Ryoma-chan I promised my new friends that we'll have a group study maybe you can go home without me, I know the way."

"Uisu!" 'Onee-chan's really sociable.' Ryoma thought.

"Ochibi's sister is really different."

"So desu ne!" They all nodded except Tezuka.

Practice ended Ryoma was about to go home when Tezuka suddenly approached her and offered a walk.

"Buchou, you don't need to..." She was cut off...

"It's fine I'm also headed in the direction of your house."

"Ah hai."

'Why am I like this? I suddenly felt uneasiness when I saw her talking sweetly with somebody on the phone.' Tezuka thought

'Why do I feel uncomfortable with buchou' Ryoma thought.

"Echizen, who was the one who called you a while ago?"

'Why do I still need to know? Why am I concerned' Tezuka thought

'do I really need to tell buchou?' Ryoma thought

"He's Seiichi-kun a friend of mine."

'he, so its a boy' Tezuka thought

"Sou ka, Do you know him since you were in America?"

"I just met him this weekend."

"WHAT?" Tezuka almost freaked out but he kept his cool.

"Why buchou is there a problem?"

"You should not talk to strangers, yudan sezu ni Ikuo." Tezuka kept his stoic face.

"Ah, demo buchou Seiichi-kun is very kind and thoughtful and I like him." Tezuka was shocked that Ryoma will admit that she likes somebody.

'Just who is this guy?' Tezuka thought.

'Mou, this is embarassing!' Ryoma thought.

"I just like him as a friend that's all!" Ryoma explained. Tezuka was relieved.

"Sou ka, is this guy also a tennis player?"

"Hai, ne buchou why do I feel like you are interrogating me?"

"No I just want to know just don't let your guard down." They arrived at Ryoma's house.

"We're here Arigato buchou!" She bowed down and went inside.

Tezuka nodded.

'Why do I feel jealous?' Tezuka thought.

'Why am I feeling uncomfortable could it be that I like buchou?' Ryoma thought

"Is this really possible?" They both muttered.
