A/N: *does an impression of Marcus Butler* Helllooouew! what's up my niggas?! haha as promised here is the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I do note own price of the tennis

Naomi was now on her 22nd person. she was sweating a lot now and mentally noted to take a shower as soon as she gets home since she won't use the showers here since it was filled with boys and the girls' showers were already used by most of the female clubs' members. and besides she doesn't want that incident to happen again, [A/N: if you're wondering what I'm talking about...you will find out soon]

24rd her legs were starting to feel like jelly. her opponent is better than the past few. but his gripping was all wrong. 'he should use the western grip..the way he's gripping it right now will strain his wrist.' she mentally stated and added rotation to the ball which would make the guy drop the racket after returning it. as he picked up the racket and just held on to it as it is. She nodded as she returned it again. the guy was sweating buckets as he returned the ball. but then he noticed something and stared at his hand. as Naomi let the ball slide and give him the point.

"Naomi-sama?" the guy said, Naomi looked boredly at him. "did you-" Naomi looked away.

"you were going to strain your wrist that way." she said passively the guys started tearing up.

"Naomi-sama is so kind!" He exclaimed and ran towards Naomi. Naomi flinched and ran then hid behind Ryoma, who glared at the young man to death, the other Regulars did the same.

"wakashi 100 laps around the court!" Tezuka ordered, the guy who revealed to be named 'wakashi' nodded and immediately ran his laps. Terrified at what the Regulars might have done if he didn't.

For some reason Naomi became like the like the little sister of the group and Everyone would become really protective of her when needed.

One time Naomi, Kikumaru, Oishi, Momoshiro, Fuji and Ryoma went out to buy burgers. some guys hit on her while she was on her way to the bathroom. standing in her way and such. Naomi glared at them and kept on turning them down bluntly but sadly said people still continued. until The five glared at them furiously which made the men flinch and leave. Ryoma walked over to them before they left and said something which made the guys' flinch again and run. the others still don't know what he said because Ryoma wouldn't say anything and if they asked Naomi she would lower her cap and shrug. Fuji was pretty sure she was blushing then.

Naomi glanced at Wakashi from over Ryoma's shoulder. Ryoma could feel her tremble. He looked at her Sympathetically. and faced her then patted her head. "don't worry, I won't let it happen again." he whispered in her ear. Kikumaru was the only one who heard it and decided to walked over to where Inui was and ask about it.

"Hey Inui!" He said as he glomped him.

"what is it, Eiji?" Inui said as Kikumaru got off and he pushed up his glasses.

"there's somthing I want to find out."

"What?"

"what happened to Hime-chan that is related to her being cute? you know like...That.."

Inui looked dumbfounded and scanned a notebook he pulled out of nowhere that had "NAOMI WATKINS" written on it in Beautifully kanji.

Inui scanned the page as his expression changed. Kikumaru raised a brow.

"what is it Inui?"

"well, there was this incident..." Inui said hesitanttly.

"what!? what?!" Kikumaru exclaimed as he grabbed the notebook and started reading his eyes widened.

'was abused by her teachers when she was in the second grade and was kidnapped alot. which is probably the reason why she chose tennis as a sport since it has a net and why she doesn't play doubles. She does have a lot of male friends but most of them end up being avoided for reasons unknown. when She reached fourth grade she started always hiding behind Echizen and her best friend Alex James Chateu A.K.A Aj. for reasons also unknown. she doesn't use the bathroom at public places because of trauma that she gained from an incident when she went on her own'

"H-hime-chan..." He muttered as he looked at Naomi who was gripping on to Ryoma's hand.

"hey" Ryoma said as he tugged onto Naomi's hand.

"yes?"

"not gonna play anymore?"

"I give up already. You win"

Ryoma chuckled. and then let go of Her hand and pinched both of her cheeks and pulled onto it.

"you knw that means you have to do what I tell you too for the rest of the next three days?" he said, suddenly his eyes widened as pulled her cheeks some more.

"your cheeks gotten fatter! seriously just because no one's watching you doesn't mean you can engulf in cake all you want!" he scolded and pulled her cheek even more. Naomi twitched and stomped on his foot, thus making him let go and hold onto said foot. "AW!" he yelled

"I can eat as much cake as I want baka!"

"che! mada mada dane!"

"mada mada su yo!"
