Hey guys! It's me again with another chapter!!

Excuse the rest of this paragraph because it wouldn't make sense, that and I'm ranting, because apparently I'm not a responsible daughter when I'm the one doing all the housework, taking care of my brothers, having a job, going to school, without a car might I add. Asain mothers, actually, let me take that back. I know some Japanese moms who are pretty darn cool, scary when they're angry, but otherwise pretty darn cool. Korean mothers seem to underestimate the value of their traditional bred daughters. When I say traditional bred, I mean understand culture and language. The ideal Korean daughter in Korea, the kind that you can't seem to find no matter what; if you're Korean and you have a mom like mine and you grew up like I did, you'd understand. Giving up your social life to take care of little brother and the housework, getting ridiculed because of the late fashion that you own, I live in LA area, oh and then there's the excepted 4.0+ GPA. AARGH! This is more frustrating than the new Quizilla.

Okay I'm done. Thank you:

Ocean949: Please forgive me if I'm a bit crazy...But...*glomps* I missed your thank you and request for my quick updates...Your very very very welcome. Hee hee. I had some sugar cookies with chocolate frosting and sprinkles... I'm trying to update...It's just, college, and mom, and work, and little brother, and huskies, and- URGH! Here comes the ugly word- stress... *Anime puppy dog eyes and pout* I sorrie! LOL. Anyways, chapter 11 is a fourth done...When I say this I mean a fourth done with copying three to four chapters from the manga kind of done, all that's left is to edit it so Ryoko and company are in it along with a few extra scenes.

Different Child: Lol. I know how you feel, I feel like that sometimes too. Ha ha, glad to have you back. Yes, she is still on vacation. Sadly. Looking over...hmmm, looking over about 40,000 words...*face greens* I think I'm going to be sick...lol. JK. With Ryuuske, well I do try. *wink* Lol. Ryoko is beginning to get comfortable around the team and she is very protective, as you will see in the future, of things that she considers 'hers.' Like between her and someone else, if she says 'my----' and the other person says 'your----' then she considers the person or object hers. - - Ryoko is a fourth French, a fourth British, and half Japanese. :P I know technically she should have brown hair, but it's in the manga/ anime world where a full Japanese girl can have blue eyes with black hair. - - I need to stop reading Inuyasha and focus on PoT. 'keeps you wondering'? That's a good thing then. That means I have an avid reader to add to my collection-I mean...lol. I'm not collecting avid readers, scouts honor! (I was too a scout....for about four months.)

Luckycomet09: No, I don't think that we went along with that tiny little detail. But if you hate cliffhangers so much...Ah, where would the beauty of the mind go? The 'what if's are the best part in being a drama reader. And yes, I am a Korean/Japanese drama fan, I know how to make their plot lines. It's fun. lol. Here's your desired update. Really? Interesting choice? I should have up Theodore Daniels up there, huh? Lol.

Lovelyanimaleangel: Of course I finally updated. Lol. I couldn't keep all my avid readers in my collect-Dang it...There it goes again....Uh...Where was I? Oh...I could keep my avid readers waiting. Besides, I want to see if anyone else will comment or give me an idea...Which reminds me...

*gets on knees and give an anime puppy pout* WILL YOU PEOPLE PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! GIVE ME AN IDEA FOR YOKO AND EIJI?!?!?!?!!?!?....Thanks!

"Ne, Ryoko, let's go to the street tennis courts!" Yoko said, hanging off of the shorter girl. Ebisawa Yoko and Ebisawa Ryoko were known as the Ying Yang Pair on the streets of Street Tennis in Europe. Yoko with her more brutal attacks and her taunting gave her the name of 'Demoness.' While, Ryoko took on being the silent of the two and more calculating, her adoring fans thought her as an angel.

"Is it going to be the same one or a different one? If it's the same one, I'm going home instead." Ryoko said leaning on Yoko because she was tired. First she had to deal with running 50 laps. Then, it was practice; next they found out about her knee and forbid her from touching a racket, so she picked up tennis balls, like every other first year. Then she got in trouble for doing that! So what do they want me to do, 'work on upper body strength!' Work on my bloody upper body strength my butt, I'm a girl. Female of this pathetic species for how much damage we do to this wonderful planet.

"Still mad they stole your rackets?"

"Mad? Who's mad? I'm bordering down right angry and seething dragon."

"So, street tennis it is? On a different court, of course, we wouldn't want you to kill some stupid idiot for claiming you."

"You still didn't tell me what happened between you and Eiji-senpai that one day." Yoko turned a very unnatural shade of red.

--

"I hear sounds from tennis courts…" Echizen says as the bike slow down.

"How come I don't remember there being a tennis courts around here?"

"Wow- Feels like street tennis!"

"And pretty good lighting."

"You were saying?! What was it you said? 'Why can't you idiots beat two girls at a silly game?"

"Isn't that Yoko-senpai?" Echizen asked Momoshiro who was still looking at the courts. And Ebisawa, isn't she supposed to be resting her knee until the day after our first match?

"Huh? Well, what do you know? Ebisawas have a thing for breaking the rules? First Ryoko is on the Regular's Team because of her skills and who she is. Then, we have a three family members train us, now this. Ryoko ignores the order of rest from the captain."

"Sound like someone you know?"

"Who knew Ebisawa could play doubles?"

"She adapts easily, and she can read body language really well. That's why she's standing behind Yoko-senpai. She can tell if Yoko-senpai is going to move or not by seeing Yoko-senpai's form." Momoshiro gave Echizen a stare. "What?"

"Aren't you watching Ryoko a bit too closely?"

"We've played a doubles match before and I've seen her play tennis in Europe."

"What were you doing in Europe?"

"Challenging her cousin for Prince of Tennis title."

"Did you win?"

"..." Momoshiro watched as Ryoma clenched his tennis racket tightly. He snickered silently, obviously not…

"She's going to do the upside down thing again!" One of the onlookers called out as they watched the younger girl crouch down to jump up higher than the ball. In the air, Ryoko shifted her body to be falling head first and slamming the ball to the other side of the court, a good foot inside the line. Ryoko flipped and landed on her feet, directly behind Yoko. "That's the third time she's done that!"

"It landed in the same spot!"

"Huh?" Momoshiro said looking at the ball that moved as soon as Ryoko landed. Similar to her speed moves, the ball spun against a hard surface rapidly, unlike the speed moves, as soon as Ryoko landed, the ball had moved as if it never touched the ground for the twenty seconds that it had.

"She's practicing an Angel move." Ryoma explained as Yoko mumbled something under her breath and Ryoko nodded. He looked towards their opponents. He smirked as he saw Yoko-senpai taunt them again for allowing such 'weak' girls to win against them. "If you get the right timing, you can hit it back…It's after that thou-"

"What do you mean cheat?! How can we cheat? That tennis ball isn't ours, it's yours!" Yoko's voice cut off Ryoma as Ryoko looked over at the opponents with narrowed eyes. Reputation or not, Ryoko could not stand being called a cheater. She glared at the two boys who weren't really worth anything above basics, but in two days she was allowed to go back to her training schedule. In two days, her father was coming in and she could get a proper match. In two days, I'm going to show every stupid cocky idiot on the streets why they shouldn't play singles against Ebisawa Ryoko.

"Onee-chan, just leave him. If it helps his ego to think that we cheated, then he's not worth our time. The scoreboard says six games to none. That's all we need to know. Come on, we could get more practice done at home than here. And I was hoping that Japan had some sort of challenge, nothing but a bunch of amateurs thinking they have a change against someone with more experience." Ryoko said walking off the court to her bag. She wasn't going to stand here while he insulted them because he was a wimp who wouldn't admit he lost. The gym at home was big, sound proof, and Ryoko could go full out on the robots that jii-chan made. "Besides, Natsumi-chan is coming into the day after tomorrow. She's staying with us to go to school. We have to get her room ready anyways. The European Lady is going to want to see her brother, meaning I have to deal with the hospital…again."

"Fine…But next time we see you, I'm telling her to actually take the match at bit more seriously. Honestly, losing to a first year when she's playing around with you on an injured knee." Yoko said grabbing Ryoko to go down the stairs; they finally noticed Momoshiro and Echizen standing at the court. Ryoko groaned as see saw the two. Yoko tensed as she saw a scheming look in Momoshiro and Echizen's eyes. She narrowed her own at the two boys. "You two better keep your mouths shut about Ryoko playing today to Tezuka."

"Or what?"

"I'll be telling Osamu that you think Ryoko looks cute in her tennis uniform-"

"I've never seen her in it."

"I wasn't finished. I'll tell him the day after tomorrow."

"But that's blackmailing-"

"So, mouths shut?"

"Walking away from a match without facing us? That's a bit of a disappointment. And look, that girl is wearing Seigaku's regular jacket. Are you going to run away with your tail between your legs?" Two boys called out to the Ebisawa sisters. Ryoko looked ready to turn around and maim the two boys, while Yoko was smirking at Momoshiro and Ryoma. Ryoko looked over at Yoko and then saw her smirking at the two boys. Her eyes widened in realization. She wouldn't…

"Who said we're running away? Our 2 tennis playing buddies here wanted to try and face you boys. Be easy on them though, I don't think they've played doubles before." Yoko said mentally giving off an evil laugh. She winked at Ryoko who was staring at Yoko like she needed to be committed to a mental institute pronto. "Ryoko here has a dinner she needs to get to with a very important person." Her grandfather. "And she doesn't want to disappoint him," because he can be very scary to anyone who's not Ryoko for being late. "After all, Ryoko hasn't seen the person in a long time, isn't that right Ryoko?"

"I saw him this morning when he dropped me off at the hosp-" Never mind…she would…

"Yes, that's right. So have fun boys." Yoko said clamping Ryoko's mouth and pulling her down the stairs to leave. I want to see if Echizen Ryoma gets jealous tomorrow.

--

Ebisawa Ryoko hated alarm clocks with a pure passion that could rival the males of her family hate to she her with a male that is not family. What could she possible hate- "RYOKO LET'S GO! WE'RE LATE!" –more? Ryoko glanced up at the clock on the wall. We still have three hours to walk across the street. THREE HOURS TO WALK ACROSS THE DAMN STREET! Glaring at her older brother who was slowly realizing he wouldn't be living if he continued his action, Ryoko stood from her futon. Unlike the other Ebisawa, Ryoko rested on a futon which was large enough to have herself and her huskies. Speaking of which… "Now…Ryoko, be reasonable…You asked me to wake you up earlier than you wanted because you wanted to make lunch for your senpai tachi because you wanted to ask them a favor for Natsumi-chan. Remember?"

Poseidon blinked his eyes in an 'I am still asleep and have no idea what is going on' fashion. His now purple fur seemed to stand out among the midnight black and silver huskies that were rising from their peaceful sleep. Their eyes locked with each other as they both got up and ran to their mistress who was grabbing her towel to go to the showers, after kicking out master Nori. Wait! Mistress is going to take a shower. Shower means water! Poseidon chased after their mistress and was the only successful one in making it in the bathroom before she closed and locked the door.

On the other side of the door, Hades and Zeus crashed and hit their poor noses. They realized that their mistress was going to do her morning rituals and they would help to receive a treat later. Another electricity of eternal rivalry appeared as the two husky brothers locked eyes with each other one again. They raced to their mistress bedding to fix it into the corner. Neither ever noticed the maid that entered the room to clear the young mistress of her futon. She came to see the two husky rivals folding and pushing the young mistress futon into a corner; her eyes turned to the last part of the futon. The pillow.

Her eyes widen as she saw both huskies race toward the pillow, intent on getting it before the other could. In all the commotion, none of the three parties noticed the bathroom door opening letting out a clean and dress Ryoko and a clean, happy, playful Poseidon. Ryoko gave a sweat drop when she saw her two huskies growl over her pillow. Poseidon pranced over to the pillow, picked it up and put it on top of the folded futon blankets in the corner of the room. "C'mon Poseidon, let's go get you some breakfast and a walk, huh?"

Poseidon barked eagerly and followed his mistress out the door, looking back to see the two brothers still growling at each other over the pillow that wasn't there any more. If he could stay he'd watch them until they noticed it was gone. Really this whole thing has gotten out of paw: who really cares; which husky Mistress likes best?! We're all loved!

--

Ebisawa Yoko was glad Osamu was the first of the twins she saw. He was the calmer, sensible, easy going twin. She snickered at the thought of Ryoko dealing with Nori. As much as Ryoko hated to admit it, she and the more mischief twin got along pretty well, as long as Ryoko has her IPod and an oriental breakfast. Yoko chuckled as she saw their long awaited guest walk through the terminal as if she owned the place. "You know, Ryoko said those acting classes were to be used for pranking purposes only."

The girl smiled at the two Ebisawa siblings. "It's been a while, huh, Neko-chan?"

"Hai, it has, Natsumi-chan."

--

"Ah, all done! Arigatou minna-san for helping me." Ryoko said as she wrapped the last bento. She and twenty other kitchen maids finally finished the bento that Ryoko planned on making for every regular, the freshmen trio and Sakuno-chan, coach and the trainers, herself and Natsumi. She sweat dropped as she realized that she couldn't pick them up all by herself as she sent her brother out to make sure that all the regulars did not bring lunches, which might have sounded weird to them… It's not like Eiji-senpai is going to say anything once he sees the bento…

Poseidon walked into the kitchen when he heard his mistress was finished making the bento. He stopped when his mistress was staring at him with a grin on her face. Poseidon cringed. That smile doesn't mean anything good. He started to back away from his mistress slowly. When that smile is given, all the masters run…Maybe I should start running? "Come here, Poseidon, don't you want to go on a walk and see the new fountain, father set up at the Garden?"

As if the word 'walk' was magic, Poseidon was instantly by Ryoko's side with his leash in his mouth. The kitchen maids giggled as Ryoko sweat dropped at the purple husky looked up at her with a 'you said walk, let's go!' look in his eyes. She sighed as she crouched down to his eye level. "But you need to do me a tiny favor first."

Uh oh… the purple husky thought as he finally saw the twenty kitchen maids leap at him. This can't be good…

--

In order to get into the annual national tournaments, contestants from each school gather together.

--

"Hey, they're here."

"They're finally here."

"There are 9 of us here for Seishun Gakuen High." Tezuka said in his collected voice, as Ryoko watched with a sweat drop as the crew member took the forms with shaking hands, bowing to her captain.

"It's Seigaku."

"Seigaku…Wow, but they look really tough."

"UWAAH! IT'S TEZUKA-SAN!"

"Nine? Did you say nine?" The crewmember that accepted the forms asked. But there's only eight here…

"Yes, there's nine of us." Oishi said with a polite smile. Where is Ebisawa-san?

"I only count eight-" The same crewmember said, to be cut off by his partner.

"You're teammate Ebisawa is waiting for you, over there by the entrance, Tezuka-san, she already opened up the room you will be using." Tezuka's eyes scanned the entrance to see that the first year girl was leaning against the entrance with her fan club surrounding her. If he wasn't Tezuka, he would have smirked at her expression and aura that held a killing intent.

--

"Eh? What's a squirt like him doing with them?"

"No matter how we look at it, he looks like a freshman. Seigaku sure seems awfully calm."

"I heard there's another freshman on the team. An Ebisawa."

"No. This is bad, do you think captain knows about it?"

"Why do you think they were training us like it was the end of the world!?"

--

"Hey Fukawa, aren't those two…"

"We've met them before, right? I didn't realize they're Seigaku Regulars."

"We are playing them next." Ryoko smirked at the two older boys as she stood behind them, wearing her full uniform as she did the day after practice two days ago.

"Excuse me, you're block the way, my captain is calling me." Ryoko said loudly enough for the two boys to jump in the air. She smiled innocently as they gaped at her. She tilted her head and blinked at them innocently. "Well, I don't think I want Tezuka-bucho angry with me because two silly senpai from Gyokurin wouldn't move so I can walk over to my teammates."

She walked between them and mentally gave a very Yoko like evil laugh as she heard the two boys whisper behind her. It was very amusing for Ryoko to see their reactions "She's the girl who beat everyone…"

"But where's her doubles partner?"

"Wait…She's the Ebisawa on the team!?"

--

"Ne, ne, Ryo-chan! You look so kawaii in your uniform. Like a little dolli-Nani, what's with the expression Ryo-chan?" Eiji greeted the first year as he did with all the members, who weren't scary, on the team, with more control of course. Ryoko looked as if she was very please with herself in accomplishing a very good prank. He looked to where Ryoko walked from and saw two gapping boys. "Ryo-chan, what'd you do?"

"Momoshiro-senpai, Ryoma-san…If you put onee-chan and my training to waste, you do remember the punishment right?" Ryoko asked two the boys. After being beat by two amuetuers at the street tennis court, the two boys quickly found the two girls. After an embarrassing misunderstanding, the Ebisawa sisters agreed to teach the two boys how to play doubles. During this time, Ryoma and Momoshiro were introduced to Zeus, Hades being locked up in Ryoko's room for the training session, and dubbed him as the devil's beast.

The two boys paled as they remember the silver husky, grinning evilly at them during their training. The deal was, the boys would have to win the match they play today or they would be doing laps in the Ebisawa estate with Zeus and Hades chasing after them. Not knowing how Hades was, and thinking he was only a two year old husky; the boys agreed. If they won, of course, the Ebisawa sisters would treat the boys out to an all-they-could-eat burger dinner.

--

"..Finally, singles 1 will played by Fuji from Seigaku and Suzuki from Gyokurin. You need to win 3 out of 5 rounds to move up in the ladder. Also, this being Seigaku's first match, Seigaku is required to play all 5 rounds even if a winner has been decided. One set match." Ryoko gave a smirk at the opposing team. Like hell they are winning both doubles. Yoko and I have drilled everything into their heads. And if they change anything, it'll be their hides…Of course, that's Yoko. I'll just sic Zeus and Hades on them. Ryoko watched as the two senpai's from Gyokurin gave each other knowing looks before looking into Momoshiro and Ryoma's collected eyes. This will be fun!

"They're gonna play doubles even if they can't!? We'll definitely beat them then!"

"I don't think Tezuka realizes this is a defeat for them. He had more of a chance with the two girls."

"Well then, we'll just have to destroy the first seed, Seigaku!"

"First round doubles: representatives stand. Seigaku Momoshiro and Echizen. Gyokurin Izumi and Fukawa."

"Everyone's really surprised that you guys are members of the invincible Seigaku regulars."

"No, actually, we're really lucky…Keke."

"I can't express my relief!! If it had been singles, you would have the advantage, if only…"

"That's true. However… We'll only be satisfied if we defeat you at your own game." Ryoma replied.

"So…that's why you decided to play doubles?!"

"Luckily we were able to play you guys, what a relief." Momoshiro said, giving a dramatic sigh.

"They're arguing…" Inui said with a mushroom sigh forming. They're arguing during our first match?!

"Now I understand. It's all because of that." Fiji said with a smile watching the Ebisawa siblings get up and walk to different sides of the court sitting against the fences. He raised an eyebrow at the two. Nori is known for the more defensive doubles and Ryoko-chan has more of an advantage being about to play both offensive and defensive during doubles…along with her observation skills… Ahh, she's going to do that then…

"If you think that practicing in 1, 2 days can make you experts in doubles, you've made a huge mistake. We'll teach you what a double play is really like!"

"You sure about that? We learn really quick." Momoshiro said looking at Ryoko who nodded at him. This was how it was done at practice. With Ebisawa Nori behind them watching all the defensive mistakes and Ebisawa Ryoko on the other side watching their offensive mistakes. They play against Ebisawa Yoko and Ebisawa Osamu.

"What good will a couple of days' practice do? They're just bluffing."

"You two sure do talk a lot before a match. Saying things that are better left unsaid. Especially since you're doubles partners, you two shouldn't really need to say anything longer that three words for the other to understand. Those two here have been trained by the Jokers of England, the Demon of the Street, the Devil's Mistress, and Coach Maximums Cromwell. I think you two have to be worried about yourself instead of them." Ryoko said with a wink at the end, as she sat behind them. Nori was behind Momoshiro and Echizen; he was giving Gyokurin a smug smirk. "It's not anything personal, but I really don't like being called a coward, even if it is by an idiot."

--

Seigaku is heading towards the national tournament---Start!

--

"Ah-un tactic"? What the hell is the "ah-un" tactic?! We didn't go over any "ah-un" tactic?! Ebisawa Yoko is an extremely patient female when if came to teaching others how to play doubles. Ryoko being the exception to this rule. But that's because Ryoko's a freakin' tennis prodigy. She can play doubles with anyone. When hearing that her two new students where going to use a tactic that they did not teach them. That she did not know of…The patient female went away while the panicking one came to play. They're going to lose an then Ryoko is going to sic Zeus and Hades on them and then they're going to die…We're going to be murders!

--

"Go Fukawa! Go Izumi!!"

"Show them Gyokurin spirit!!"

"Go Momoshiro, ECHIZEN!!"

"SEIGAKU! SEIGAKU!"

"WE LOVE YOU, EBISAWA-SAMA!" Ryoko hit her head and groaned after this comment was maybe as everyone stared at the 'Ebisawa Ryoko-sama' fan boys. Are they serious?

--

Ryoko burst out laughing, catching the tennis ball that Momoshiro returned. She had to hold her stomach as she laughed at the tactic that the two used. As everyone cheered and said they made a nice shot and had good co-operation. The Ebisawa siblings were having trouble calming themselves down. Nori, who was standing, had slid down holding his sides laughing. Ryoko was officially crying because she was laughing so hard. The "Ah-Un" tactic was one that Ryoko and Nori used when they played doubles together for the first time when Ryoko was six and Nori was eight. "I didn't th…Think that they would actually…"

"Take us seriously…when we …told them about it…" They really couldn't believe that they would use that tactic in this match. It was just a passing story during their break on the first day. Ryoko and Nori had moved to the sidelines as they didn't have anything to note on the Momoshiro Echizen pair.

"Ryo-chan, what's the 'Ah-Un' tactic?" Ryoko and Nori shared a look before bursting out in laughter, as everyone looked at them waiting to hear the answer. Ryoko being the first to calm down.

"Nori-nii-chan and I created a way for us to know who would go to the middle to hit the tennis ball when I was six, onii-chan was eight. We were playing against aniki and onii-sama again, it's like playing against two Tezuka-buchos. On the our tennis court, grandmother had it made inside, we had these two warriors that would are two the side of the gates to the Buddhist temples, yes, we have our very own Buddhist temple, ask that story later. Anyways-"

"Ah!"

"Un!" Ryoko opened her mouth to have giggles come out. She looked told Nori to finish the story, seeing that he had stopped laughing.

"One of the two warriors opens his mouth and makes the 'ah' sound, the other closes his mouth and makes the 'uh' sound. Our tactic of 'ah-un' comes from the first and the last character in Sanskrit, it also represents breathing. Ryoko came up with it seeing we haven't learned the basics of singles yet so father couldn't come up with a way to train us. We needed a signal that would catch onii tachi off guard and we could score."

The two playing shouted again, making the Ebisawa siblings look at each other and laugh out loud. Everyone around them sweat dropped. They're using a tactic that was created by a six year old girl and her eight year old brother…and it works…Except… "It's embarrassing…"

"Watch this. This is something onee-chan and I taught them." The group watched as Momoshiro bent backwards while Ryoma was standing behind him waiting for the ball. The group was shocked to say the least. They didn't believe that Echizen and Momoshiro could pull the match off. Ryoko turned to them, studying their facial expression. "You thought they would lose the match by now, huh? So nice of you to doubt my siblings and myself; after all that hard work, not gratitude at all."

"Except he didn't move back, imouto."

"NANI!? What the hell Ryoma! I said if you're going to do that, you move back afterwards, you monkey head! Stupid boy doesn't listen to given lessons. God, I hope, no offensive or anything, senpai tachi, but I hope they lose, so I can sic Hades on them." Nori paled at the name of Hades giving everyone the impression that you do not want to be near him. Nori and Ryoko shared a look after Nori's facial coloring came back, a look of panic. "Oh fudge monkey's poop on a stick frozen in Antarctica. That's not good. We didn't go over-"

"This part…Ko, this is worse that fudge monkey's pop on a stick frozen in Antarctica. This is like playing against Yuuske and Osamu for the first time…No, playing father for the first time." Nori watched as his sister stood up and brush her skirt off. He winced as he heard the score and watched his sister smirk. What is she thinking? He watches as Ryoko walked over to the Coach and whispered something in her ear, the coach smiled and nodded towards Ryoko. Ryoko walked over to the two tennis players as they were stupid enough to fall into the trap that made them HIT each other on the back of their heads.

Putting her hands on her hips and tapping her foot for their attention. Nori laughed as gulped and slowly looked up to see a very angry Ryoko standing there. The shared a look before looking back at her. "Momoshiro-senpai, Ryoma-san…Do you really want me to go get Zeus so you three can play tag again? Or do you want your burgers? Coach gave me permission to bring Zeus to practice we have at school. Since he's such a big puppy, he can stay in the club room, when we're in class and come back out to play when it's practice. So, what's it gonna be? Win or lose?"

Momoshiro and Ryoma looked at each other before using their tennis rackets to draw a line on the tennis court. Ryoko smiled as she saw what they were doing. She nodded and went back to her brother side. "Momo-senpai thinks the same as me."

"I guess so. Let's erase the complicated stuff."

"I'll take all the balls coming to the right side of this line."

"I'll take this side then!!"

"You better not come over to my side!!"

"For unlimited burgers!" Did they just-? Never mind…

"They're dividing the court into two!?" Horio was confused. It was unlikely tactic used in dou-

"Finally doing it the way we taught them. God, what took them so long?"

"Our old 'ah-un' tactic, imouto?" Nori said and Ryoko's eyes widen and her body shook with silent laughter. "But it's a relief that your threat worked."

"Threat? Are you saying I threatened them, onii-chan? Oh no, it was a promise. Sort of like a deal you could say. Besides, Zeus is getting cubby anyways." Ryoko said smirking as the idiot from Gyokurin hit towards the middle. She looked up to her older brother, remembering when their doubles opponent did the same thing. "Ne, onii-chan, déjà vu?"

"Oh my…I didn't think anyone would be so stupid to fall for a trick a six year old could come up with…But…" Nori was speechless. It's official. My sister is complete prankster. She makes not one, but two high schoolers fall for a simple trick she created at age six.

"Huh?"

"There's still the 'ah-un' tactic by yours truly." Everyone sweat dropped. It's great to win and everything…But with that embarrassing tactic…Is it really worth it?

--

"You mean to tell me…That these two students of mine…Used a tactic created by a six year old Ebisawa Ryoko, during her pranking years, and won their first doubles match…Forgetting all my lessons and remember that!"

"Hey! I take offense to that. It was really hard for onii-chan and I to use that against onii-sama and aniki. But it was funny how that match-"

"Ended exactly the same, Osamu. It was like déjà vu." Nori finished grinning at his brother. Osamu and Yoko both had tick marks and sweat drops on their heads. Osamu was twitching, every once in a while and Yoko's aura was turning darker and darker. Ryoko giggled every once in a while and Nori was grinning like an idiot.

"You mean to tell me. That you two told them that embarrassing story where the two of you created a prank against your older brothers to win a tennis match, and they took it seriously, used it against an actual doubles pair and won?"

"Uh huh."

"The tactic that Ryoko created when she was six?"

"Yup!"

"Even with the possiblilty of knowing that they would take it seriously and use it in public?!"

"HAI!"

"NORI YOU IDIOIT!/ RYOKO I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Ryoko shrieked as she doogded the third year that launched herself at her. Running up to Fuji she once again, hid behind him, using him as a shield. "IT WON'T HELP YOU IF HE'S YOUR SHEILD!"

"I'll tell him!" Yoko froze as she realized that Ryoko knew about the closet incident. "After all, he did help me plan it. He has a right to know."

"No he doesn't, you chickmunk!"

"Know what, Ryoko?"Fuji asked with his usual smile on his face. It was interesting that Ryoko purposely said her reply in English instead of French as she usually replies to Yoko's English threats. "It must be something very important that Yoko froze to it."

"IT'S NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL!"

"Ryoko?"

"Well…"

"Ryoko don't you dare!"

"You see…"

"Damn it Ryoko, I'm your sister don't you dare tell him that-"

"Onee-chan and Eiji-senpai were stuck in the closet, right?"

"-We kissed in the closet because I slipped on a wet rag." Ryoko looked at her adopted sister with wide eyes shocked that she would actually tell him, Osamu and Nori gapped at her, Ryoma smirked, Fuji grinned, and Tezuka mumbled something to the lines of 'what did I do to deserve this team?' Yoko thought of what she said and smacked her head. This is why living with Ebisawa Ryoko is bad for my health..

As punishment for creating such commotion on a tennis courts, although it really wasn't her fault, Ryoko had to trail after Fuji-senpai and Tezuka-bucho. Sighing, I already gathered all the opponent data we need for this stupid tournament. Why can't we go back and eat the nice bentos I made with the kitchen maids and I introduce you stubborn senpai to Natsumi-chan? Yes? No? ...I want to go back! "5 winds, 0 loss Kankinori wins!!"

"Here he comes with his slogan again. Kuki is currently in his best form. I heard Kakinoki and Mizunohuchi's captain Akarani had a few practice games together." Fuji-senpai said to Tezuka-bucho. Ryoko was glaring holes into the ground to really care about what they were saying.

"Oh it's… Tezuka and Fuji together gathering opponent data? So, did you get any data?" Ryoko snorted at the male who her bucho didn't like. She was willingly to put him in his place, if he made the first move. Ryoko switched from glaring holes into the ground to glaring holes into the male. At this moment, I feel like I'm Hades…and Bucho is me…"Oh yea, Tezuka, people said you didn't play in the Gyokurin match… You probably couldn't play right?"

"Fuji, let's go. Ebisawa, you're excused." Ryoko nodded slowly, watching the male step close to Tezuka. She growled.

"Wait. Let me see your arms? How could it be-" Instead of grabbing Tezuka's arm, in his hand was a smaller, smoother, more feminine hand. A hand that was currently pushing back his fingers as if they were playing mercy, Ryoko gave the male a cold smirk as she watched him fall to his knees. "You little-"

"Do. Not. Touch. Tezuka-bucho. You. Digusting. Idiot. Okay?" Ryoko spoke slowly and clearly, as if she was speaking to a child. She pushed him down as she turned to her captain and senpai. "I don't appreciate idiots touching anything that technically belongs to me. My racket. My bag. My senpai. My teammates. My captain. My coach. See they belong to me, not you. So, no touchie, okay?"

"Why you-" He froze as Fuji and Tezuka glared down at him as he made a move to physically harm the young girl.

"Let's go, Ebisawa. I need to see those profiles you wrote."

"Hai, Tezuka-bucho!"

"ERR…Tezuka just wait and see. We'll definitely beat Seigaku this year."

"Yeah, and hell will turn into a winter wonderland. Onii tachi will stop being over protective. Pigs will fly. The sky will fall and the world will die. When that happens, then you'll beat us." Ryoko said turning around and sticking out her tongue at the opposing team. "Bleh!"

Ryoko giggled as she sat against Ryoma's legs on the reserve, still eating her bento. He was upset because he was a reserve. Coach was trying to get him to at least stop pouting. She looked up at the boy, with an egg roll half way sticking out of her mouth to the boy she was leaning against. She tilted her head at him silently asking him if he was seriously going to pull the cool guy pouting act. His eyes told her that he wasn't pouting. She raised an eye brow at him. "I'll pinch your right cheek if you don't listen!!!"

Immediately, Ryoma stated cheering as Ryoko giggled. Man, if only I had done that during doubles training…Ah that would have been per- Why is onee-chan and Natsumi-chan looking at me with that kind of expression? Sure enough, Yoko was grinning like a manic at the two first years with Natsumi standing on the other side of the fence. It was sort of unnerving that they were just standing there and grinning like maniacs at the two. Ryoko looked up at Ryoma, who was too busy trying not to be cheek pinched than to the two friends she had. What is so funny to be grinning like maniacs at me?
