Chapter 10:

A/N: Is the story becoming boring…? I love writing this, but, it seems that you guys don't like it much, cause you guys don't review and stuff… Reviews are absolutely magical, even those that review just to tell me to update and stuff.

P.S.: I am so sorry if I'm late, I got chicken pox… so, it was absolutely disgusting to do anything, because I'll just infect it. Sorry, again /*-*\\

P.S.S.: I'm going to make a NiouxOC fan fiction later this week. Wait for it ^_^

P.S.S.S.: Lots of love, cookies and thanks to everyone who reviewed, favorite, and subscribed to this story. You guys are my inspiration. 3

"They look familiar." Her eyes narrowed and look at the voice, a very beautiful guy wearing the Rikkai jersey. He was with three other people, who Cherrim recognized as Yanagi and Akaya, and another guy wearing a cap over his head.

"Yukimura." Atobe's smile turned slightly dangerous, and Cherrim stared at Yukimura, her heart beating a little faster than usual.

"Oh, it is Atobe." Yukimura nodded in response, smiling warmly.

"Well, there was 87.9009 % because this facility is the number one in Kanagawa." Renji noted, his eyes closed as always.

"Hm…" Kirihara eyed Cherrim, and the girl stared at him.

"TARUNDORU!" Sanada shouted out of nowhere. All five people in the vicinity looked at him.

"Bringing your girlfriend in the tennis courts! You're going soft!" Sanada continued to yell.

Yukimura looked at him with an amused smile, Yanagi himself was amused, Kirihara was just standing there, gaping, Cherrim's eyebrows was raised to an exponent and Atobe was laughing without a care for the world to see, egoistically of course.

"TARUNDO-" Sanada was cut off by a twitching Cherrim.

"Please stop shouting so much. It hurts my ears." She bluntly said, as she pointed to her ears.

"Why, you!" Sanada yelled as he continued to repress harming a female.

"Why, yes me. Please shut up, your voice is irritating." Cherrim commented with a shake of her head.

"What did you say?" Sanada continued to yell, his temper flaring.

"Please shut up, old man. You're going to make me deaf!" Cherrim requested in a polite tone, her face calming.

"Atobe, this girlfriend of yours is disrespectful and rude!" Sanada reprimanded with a loud voice.

"You're Atobe-san's girlfriend..?" Kirihara asked Cherrim quizzically.

"…" Cherrim's eyes narrowed at the two and were going to start saying something, when Yukimura decided to finally intervene.

"She's Atobe's cousin." Yukimura said, finally intervening, with a slightly amused tone.

"You are, aren't you?" He asked the girl with a serene smile.

"Yes, Yukimura-san." The girl politely replied. Atobe's eyebrow rose at this and Sanada was mentally gaping, Kirihara was gaping, and Yanagi was amused at the difference of her previous personality.

"…" A silence passed and cold wind blew.

Atobe coughed and it silently motioned for a change of topic.

"So, why are you here, Atobe?" The ever enigmatic Rikkai buchou inquired ever so serenely.

"Oresama is here to play some tennis." Atobe proudly said, huffing a bit.

"That's so not obvious." Kirihara quietly, sarcastically remarked.

"Yukimura, your little devil brat is making sarcastic remarks at oresama." Atobe immediately said to Yukimura, definitely hearing Kirihara's sarcastic remark.

"I'm not a brat, you… egoistic, flamboyant diva!" Kirihara retorted ever so maturely.

"TARUNDORU! Being so disrespectful!" Sanada practically screamed at the poor seaweed head's nearly deaf ears.

Kirihara decided to stay silent but managed to stick out his tongue to the hot tempered fukubuchou.

"Akaya, Sanada is right, watch what you are saying and doing. Atobe is older, and a buchou of another school." Yukimura calmly reprimanded with a pleasant smile.

Kirihara only nodded in reply, and said "I'm sorry, buchou."

At this, Atobe made a face, and Cherrim's brow rose up.

"Well, Atobe, why are you playing tennis here?" Yanagi said, ignoring the earlier scene and thus, efficiently changing the topic.

"This is the best tennis facility there is in Kanagawa and oresama only goes to the best facilities." Atobe proudly replied, Cherrim coughed at this, making an exasperated face.

"Why are you here, in Kanagawa, when you're from Tokyo?" Sanada asked, his voice now becoming blank and stoic.

"My cousin, here, is living in Kanagawa." Atobe said, patting Cherrim's head a bit.

"Oresama decided to help her play tennis." Atobe added, beaming ever so proudly.

"You live in Kanagawa..?" Yukimura asked Cherrim with a pleasant smile. Cherrim only nodded in reply.

"Where do you study, then?" Yukimura continued to ask.

"I'm in the same school as all of you, Rikkaidai." She said with a slight gesture to the three demons and Kirihara.

Yanagi was only quietly nodding, since he have met her once already, Kirihara was also nodding discreetly, Yukimura smiled a little pleasantly, and Sanada was there, stone-eyed.

"You're… a freshman, then?" Yukimura asked ever so pleasantly.

"Yes, I'm a classmate of Kirihara-san." Cherrim replied politely albeit coldly.

"Akaya..?" Yukimura looked at the seaweed head with a slight inquiring look.

"Uh..Y-yes buchou…?" The seaweed head replied, nervously stuttering, as he felt the lady glaring holes into him.

"Is she your classmate..?" The ever enigmatic buchou asked ever so serenely.

"Yep, Asuma-san is my classmate." Akaya said proudly, but gloomed a little when the girl decided to freeze him with cold stares.

"Akaya, you didn't tell us that Atobe's cousin was your classmate." Sanada said, a little reproachful.

"I-it's not my fault, fukubuchou! I didn't know they were cousins, they don't have the same last name." Akaya replied, waving his arms frantically, afraid of getting a full blown lecture by his hot tempered vice captain.

"…" The vice-captain glared at the freshman but kept his mouth shut.

"Well, it's fine. I don't blame Akaya for not knowing." Yukimura said, as he pats Sanada's shoulders.

"Well, how about a match, Atobe?" Sanada asked arrogantly.

"It's fine with oresama, but oresama is currently training his cousin, so oresama does not have time to play a match with you, Sanada." Atobe said, waving the notion with his glamorous hand.

"Hn." The vice-captain agreed with a nod.

"Well then, oresama shall go on those courts." Atobe said, pointing to another court with lawn grass.

"Shall we share with you?" Yukimura asked politely.

"It's fine with oresama." Atobe said with a nod.

"So, Cherri-" Atobe was saying something when he was stopped by Cherrim

"Atobe, I placed my racquet in the storage place, I'll get it." She hurriedly said, as she bows to the others and quickly head for the storage.

"Cherrim!" Atobe called out, but was answered with silence.

"Well, oresama will follow his cousin." Atobe said, as he started to jog off.

"Wait, Atobe!" Yukimura said, shouting a bit.

"What is it, Yukimura?" Atobe asked, slightly interested.

"There's something I want to discuss with you, can you just stay here?" Yukimura asks with a pleasant, irresistible smile.

"Oresama's first priority is my cousin." Atobe replied with a shake of his head.

"Akaya can go for you." Yanagi immediately blurted out. Both Atobe and Sanada raised their brows at this.

"What..?" Atobe asked, irritated.

"There's a 100% percent chance that he will be able to protect your cousin from any present danger and is not needed in the conversation." Yanagi quickly added.
