3rd POV

Back in room 201, everyone was doing their own thing. Seiichi watering plants. Shiraishi feeding his beetle. Shusuke reading a book.

"Seiichi-san." Shusuke called out.

"Yes?" Seiichi replied.

"Remember when we went through Kotaro-kun's stuff?"

"Mmhmm."

"She found out."

Seiichi continued watering his plants. Shiraishi still feeding his beetle silently listening to the conversation. Shusuke waiting, expecting an answer.

"Well, we were curious. It'll be fine," Seiichi said, "It's not like Kotaro-kun will do anything that'll scar us."

"I guess, but I still wonder..." Shusuke replied trailing off into a flashback

-FLASHBACK-

Shusuke and Seiichi brought the duffel bag down from Kotaro's bunk and unzipped it. Everything popped out of the bag and scattered on the ground.

"Kotaro-kun knows how to pack her stuff." Seiichi chuckled.

"It'll be easier for her travel." Shusuke replied.

They gazed at the stuff on the floor; 4 jereseys, a necklace, few photobooks, and other stuff.

"Why does Kotaro-kun have a Seigaku and Rikkaidai jersey?" Seiichi wondered holding it up.

"Maybe she went and joined our tennis club." Shusuke suggested.

"Maybe...But why haven't I seen her in school, then?" Seiichi thought out loud.

"I never paid much attention to the girls at my school. I bet she did attend our junior high though." Shusuke concluded.

"I think you may be right." Seiichi replied pointing to 2 photo's from the photobook.

The one on the right had Kotaro in a Seigaku uniform with her arms around the female tennis members and a large trophy standing right beside them. The captian read, "Just won the nationals! Now we get to chow on some BBQ, coach Ryuzaki promised us!" The picture on the left had Kotaro holding a golden colored flag high up in the air. Her team members smiling right beside her. The captian read, "Another national award! Though...my friends from Seigaku don't seem too happy to see me on Rikkai's tennis club."

"Seems like she made quite a name for herself. Winning the nationals at two different schools." Shusuke commented.

"Three. You mean. She won three nationals." Seiichi corrected flipping the page. It was a two-paged photo. Kotaro was being thrown up in the air by her tennis club and the coach doing a peace sign with a large trophy on the side. The captain read, "YEEEAH! Won 3 nationals in a row! I'm ready for U-17! Now I know for sure the Rikkai and Seishun girl's tennis club aren't very happy to see me as their opponent..."

"Impressive. Winning the nationals in every school she went to." Shusuke corrected himself.

"Even we couldn't do that." Seiichi added.

"Hey. What's this?" Shusuke wondered holding up a bottle necklace with a photo inside. Seiichi stared at the photo.

"It looks like a guy." He replied.

"The kanji (for the guy's name) is too small to read." Shusuke sighed.

"We should put Kotaro-kun's stuff back in the bag," Seiichi suggested, "She'll get mad when she figures out we went through her stuff."

"Yea, you're right."

-END OF FLASHBACK-

"How was her middle school life was." Shusuke continued wondering.

"Do you really want to know?" A voice asked from the entrance of the door.

"Kotaro-kun!" He gasped.

Kotaro was still a little soggy from the hot baths. A towel hanging around her neck.

"Yes, we do." Seiichi bluntly replied.

"*sigh* Well, for starters, I bet you guys saw my jereseys," Kotaro started saying sitting down on the office chair and started twirling herself, "I went to Seishun when I was only a 1st year, then transfered to Rikkaidai my 2nd year, and finally went to Kabuto Junior High for my 3rd year of middle school. After that, I obviously went here, U-17 sector camp. Where I got my black revolutionary U-17 jeresey."

"So you know Yamato-buchou?" Shusuke asked.

"Of course I do! He goes here too!" Kotaro responded, "Your little Tezuka-buchou already met him. Today in fact."

"So for Rikkai...you already knew us?" Seiichi asked.

"Mhmmm, all but Kirihara though," She answered, "Though, I knew Niou-chan exceptionally well. He was amusingly fun to tease. Explains why Niou-chan was pretending to not know me the whole time I was in the mountains."

-Back at the Mountain Camp-

Another day went by. Niou was sitting by himself, day dreaming, not doing much. Renji appeared from the pathway.

"What are you doing here, Masaharu?" He asked.

"Breathing," Niou answered, "What are you here for? I doubt you're here to collect data."

"Kotaro Fuma," Renji started reading from his notebook. Niou flinched, "Won 3 consecutive tennis nationals. Attended Seigaku, Rikkaidai, and Kabuto Junior High. Tennis style, unknown. Currently in U-17. Uses a strange looking racket. Has bandages wrapped around her shoulders and shins. Remember Kotaro-sempai? You were tense around her the whole time here."

"It has nothing to do with you." Niou replied.

"Oh really?" Renji questioned.

"Yes...really." Niou finished drifting into a flashback.

-Niou's Flashback-

"Niou? As in the scary god?" Kotaro asked (she's referring to how to write his name in Kanji... not that I know his name in kanji...).

"Yea." The 1st year Niou replied bluntly.

"You do look like a scary little freak." She teased with an evil smirk.

"NO! You're the one who looks like a scary old hag!" He remarked.

*CRK* (Veins pop)

"OW OW OW!" Niou yelled in pain, "Let go of me, you hag!"

"My my, if an old hag can pull your little ponytail so easily, then you're a senile old man. That explains the white fluffy hair." Kotaro mocked with a grin.

-End of flashback-

"Ehehe(Sarcastic chuckle). It's better you don't know." Niou replied with a restless look on his face.

-Back at camp-

"Wow. I never knew Masaharu knew a female tennis player. Then again, he always attracts most girls." Seiichi commented.

"Don't get so glum, Yukimura!" Kotaro reassured patting him hard on the back, "We're in tennis camp! Who needs a girlfriend/boyfriend anyway! Huahahaha!"

"Thanks..."

"I feel left out...(=3=). Kotaro-kun has nothing to do with Shitenhoji." Shiraishi whined who has been listening for the past minutes.

"Well, I have visited Shitenhoji before." Kotaro added.

"You've been everywhere!" Shiraishi yelped, "How do you do it?"

"I take a trailer," She replied, "My family loves traveling so we go everywhere. I would keep a look out for schools that are good in tennis."

"What does your parents do for a living anyway?" Shusuke asked.

"My mom is a Chinese actress and my dad is the head of the Wilson Rackets, the brand you guys use." Kotaro answered.

"Woahh...are you rich, Kotaro-kun?" Shiraishi assumed.

"Naah. But I'm not poor either. We just have enough money to live on." She said shaking her head to dry her hair, "That's why gotta work hard!"

"Wow. You seem pretty devoted. What do you want to be when you grow up, Kotaro-kun?" Seiichi asked.

"I want to be...a crime investigator! Chasing down fugitives and evil wrong doers are the only legal thrill of the world!" Kotaro boasted.

"That's interesting." Seiichi chuckled.

"*yawn* mmm yea...whatever you say, Child of the Gods. *tch* I'm incredibly sleepy today for some reason." She sighed climbing on to her bunk, "I have a shuffle match tomorrow too. Good night!"

"Good Night!" The boys replied.

mmmyea... sorry for the past few boring chapters. I wanted to get some information out of Kotaro before moving forward. I should do that in the extras...OH and sorry for being so lazy lately...for updating chapters...for some reason my fingers get incredibly motivated to type fanfictions in the night BUT I drift to other websites in the daytime...why do you do this to me, fingers?!

Annnnnd I posted a Kunmitsu story like...a week ago...so if you have nothing better to do...go check that out...

Thank you for reading! Reviews are much appreciated (even if some of them are kind of strict)! *\(^u^)/*
