A reminder: Prince of Tennis belongs to Takeshi Konomi. I'm only a novice writer who makes up stories about it and post it.
Sigh. I change the plot line on the last chapter. This means I have to think of more ideas. Hope you like it.
Chapter 14: A Double Date and an Explanation
While Ai enjoys her class, Kyoko had the cold shoulder from everyone in her class. Kyoko was confused.
Kyoko wondered, "Why is everyone ignoring me?"
After school, Ai apologized to everyone in Kyoko's class.
Ai bowed and said, "I'm sorry to everyone that I had been rude to yesterday. Please forgive Kyoko-imoutosan (Younger sister), she hadn't done anything."
Everyone in the room, except Kaidoh was surprised that Ai and Kyoko look the same.
They shouted, "Kyoko-chan has an evil twin sister?"
Ai was aggravated, "What did you say?"
Kyoko, Momoshiro, and Kaidoh laughed, while the others came to apologize to Kyoko.
The boy that had his seat taken from Ai apologized, "Sorry Kyoko-chan, we didn't mean to ignore you today. I know that our Kyoko-chan is always nice."
After that Kyoko and Ai walk with Kaidoh and Momoshiro to the tennis courts. Ai apologized to Arai.
Ai said, "Sorry Arai-senpai for having a fight with you, but it wouldn't happen if you didn't hug me."
Arai retorted, "You mean trip. I wouldn't have trip if you had play doubles well. Because you didn't return the ball, I have to run and get it, which I trip and accidentally hugged you."
Ai replied angrily, "Well you didn't have to grab my chest when you tripped."
Arai flushed, "As I say, it was an accident. Who would want to grab your chest?"
Arai and Ai were about to start a fight, but the boys grabbed Arai and Ai back. Kyoko want to stop the fight, so she took out her cell phone and took a picture. Ai stopped; worried that Kyoko would send the picture to Okaa-san (Mother).
Ai asked, "Kyoko-imoutosan (Younger sister), what's the picture for?"
Kyoko replied, "Onee-chan's (Older sister) first fight with her first love."
Ai and the others were shocked and yelled, "Ehh! First love!"
But Ai stopped midway before anyone realizes anything.
Kyoko said to the tennis members, "When onee-chan (Older sister) dislike someone she would only insult someone and ignored them, thinking they are a waste of time to have a fight with. But in this case, she's actually in a fight. So I presume that she must like Arai-senpai."
Everyone was still in shocked. Ai came to Kyoko and took out her cell phone.
Ai fake blushed, "Kyoko-imoutosan (Younger sister), would you send a copy of that picture to me. I want to put it in my cell phone as wallpaper."
Arai was in shock, while the other tennis members snickered. Ai seeing this came up to Arai and hugged his arm.
Ai said, "Now that everyone knows that you're my first love, would you like to go on a date with me, A-rai-kun?"
Arai shivered and seeing that Ai was giving him an evil look, stammered, "Ha…Hai (Yes)."
Ai stuck out her tongue, "Just kidding, who would want to go on a date with you?"
Arai got mad and chased Ai. Ai hid behind Kyoko and Arai couldn't do anything.
Ryuzaki-sensei yelled, "What's all the commotion? Everyone is supposed to be practicing. And you, (Came to Kyoko and Ai and pinching their cheeks) I thought I told you quit from the boys tennis club. Why are you here, and with a double too?"
Kyoko was confused, "What do you mean I quit from the tennis club?"
Ai apologized to Kyoko, "Goumen (Sorry) Kyoko-imoutosan (Younger sister), I quit the tennis team when I was pretending to be you."
Kyoko said, "So you were serious about making everyone hated me."
Ai replied, "Goumen (Sorry)."
Kyoko smiled, "It's all right. I can always join another club and I am getting a bit bored playing tennis."
Ai thought, "This is a time where I'm glad Kyoko-imoutosan (Younger sister) has an easy-going personality, and being a person that like to try new things."
Kyoko turned to Ryuzaki-sensei and bowed, "Thank you for letting me play in the team, I enjoy every moment of it. I hope the tennis team would reach to the Nationals this year."
Ryuzaki-sensei nodded. Ai and Kyoko walk away discussing the club they should join together.
Ai said, "Let join the Kendo club."
Kyoko shook her head.
Ai asked, "Martial arts? Boxing? Wrestling? Anything with fighting?"
Kyoko shook her head and said, "Onee-chan (Older sister), you know I'm not interested in fighting."
Ai sighed, "I know. I was only trying."
The weather was colder, which means winter has come. So far in school, everyone got used to Ai's personality on being friendly when she is in a good mood, but she would be her old self if she were in a bad mood. Everyone liked her, the girls enjoy talking to her and the boys enjoy her teasing.
One day after class, Arai ask Ai out. Momoshiro was shocked. Momoshiro admitted that Arai was friendlier to the freshman, after seeing becoming regular and playing tennis against Kachiro; but going out with a freshman, not to mention Ai, was too much for him.
Ai said, "Fine, but it has to be a double date with my little sister."
Arai looked to his right and turned back to face Ai and nodded, "Fine."
Ai said, "And…"
Ai leaned to Arai's ear and whispered something.
Arai shook his head and said, "No."
Ai shrugged her shoulder, "Fine, then I'm not going."
Arai said, "Fine, I agree to your terms."
Ai smiled, "Now the only problem is to get Kyoko-imoutosan (Younger sister) a date, but that's easy enough. All we need to do is get that drawing-addict, Kyo-kun, to take Kyoko-imoutosan (Younger sister)."
Momoshiro said, "What? Why Kyo-kun?"
Ai asked, "What's the matter with you, jealous?"
Momoshiro retorted, "No! That bastard is a two-timer."
Ai ran to Kyoko's classroom and asked Kyoko, "Is it true that Kyo-kun is cheating on you?"
Kyoko asked, "How did you know that onee-chan (Older sister)?"
Ai was irritated, "Don't sound like it's not a big deal! This is when I hate your easy-going personality."
Ai ran out of the class.
Kyoko sadden as she see Ai running, "Onee-chan (Older sister)."
Ai ran all the way to Hyotei Gakuen. Ai tracked down Kyo alone and came to attack. Kyo dodged. Ai continued to keep on attacking, while Kyo dodged. While they were fighting, they talked.
Kyo exclaimed, "Why are you attacking me, Ai-chan? I haven't done anything to you."
Ai replied, "You didn't do anything to me, but you did do something to Kyoko-imoutosan (Younger sister). You were two-timing her."
Kyo retorted, "First of all, how can I two-time her if I never go out with her. Second, I told her I don't want to meet with her again is for her own good, not to make her suffer."
Ai kicked him, but Kyo grabbed her leg.
Ai replied angrily, "How is making her sad, helping her?"
Kyo grabbed Ai's arms and legs in a way that she can't attack.
Kyo said, "Didn't you notice that she likes one of the regulars?"
Ai relaxed, "What?"
Kyo sighed and let go of Ai, "You know how dense Kyoko-chan is; she doesn't even realize that she likes another person. Ever since I saw her again, it seems she is a lot happier and more open to the regulars than she is with me. Anyway, think about it Ai-chan, when she actually realize she likes someone else, she would feel even more miserable than she is now."
Kyoko, Kaidoh, and Momoshiro stood out of their hiding place. Kyoko walk to Kyo and took his hand.
Kyoko smiled and said, "Arigatou (Thank you), Kyo-kun. You are a trustworthy friend I ever knew."
Kyo smiled and patted Kyoko's head, "I know, you're my best friend remember. Now that I think about it I only love you as a little sister not as a lover."
Kyoko asked, "Ah, Kyo-kun, if you say this was a set up, then what about Akane-chan?"
Kyo put his hand on his head, "I dump her on the telephone when I got home."
Ai snickered, "You what? Serve her right though, she was always a spoil brat, I couldn't stand her."
Momoshiro jumped out of the bushes and asked, "Who is Akane-chan?"
Kyo answered, "Weren't you there when I was talking to Kyoko-chan? Akane-chan is Kyoko's half-sister."
Kyoko asked, "I almost forgot! Kyo-kun would you like to go on a double date with me and Ai-chan?"
Kyo was surprised and asked, "Someone actually ask Ai-chan out?"
Ai hit Kyo in the head, "What's that suppose to mean?"
Kyo laughed, "Just kidding. Hai (Yes), I love to, but wouldn't you rather go with Kaidoh-kun or Momo-chan."
Kyoko blushed, "I want to go with Kyo-kun. I want to make up for not trusting Kyo-kun."
Kyo smiled, "Okay, I'll go."
Momoshiro and Kaidoh were jealous. Ai seeing this, chuckled.
On Sunday, Ai, Kyoko, and Kyo spend all day enjoying themselves. Oddly, so did Arai. They went to movies, eat lunch and desserts, and walk around.
On the next day, Momoshiro saw Arai giving Ai something. Momoshiro was curious.
Momoshiro grinning, "What did Arai-kun gave you? Are you two a couple now?"
Ai retorted, "Do I look that desperate to get a boyfriend that loves to boast?"
Momoshiro was agitated, "No."
Ai hesitated and asked, "Remember when Arai-senpai ask me out?"
Momoshiro nodded.
Ai said, "Well I just wanted to tease him so I said I want a double date. After I say that he looks at the right and then turns back to me and agreed. I assume that the date was a bet, so I whispered into his ears I want half profit of what he is getting for dating me. And you know what happened next."
Momoshiro nodded and thought, "Ai-chan is the evil twin."
Ai asked, "Did you say anything about me?"
Momoshiro shook his head, "No."
Momoshiro thought, "That was scary."
