This chapter is really long, but I couldn't really break it up. I just seemed to flow really well. In this chapter I gave Gina (the freshman) a personality. You also learn about her a little more.

The Rematch

Aribella was greeted and welcomed back the next day at school. The only thing on her mind was he match with Tezuka after school. She wanted to beat him and prove herself stronger. She looked at her phone and saw a familiar number come up as a text.

That's right, i'm back. playing a match against tezuka later today. come if u want.

Ill be there. i wouldnt miss it. Kajimoto texted back.

Little did she know the word was getting around that Aribella was going to replay Tezuka. The word got to Rikkai and Hyotei.

LAST NIGHT

Serena was walking home that night to clear her head. She noticed that Hyotei was still practicing. She decided to stop by and pay them a visit. She transferred to Firsca this year and spent her first year at Hyotei. She was familiar with the regulars and checked in on them from time to time.

"Atobe what's new here?" Serena said walking over to the courts.

"You haven't been here for a while. Eh? What happened to your wrist?" Atobe said.

"I injured it last week. I'm unable to compete in Nationals. No matter what happens."

"How is your captain doing?"

"She came back. Tomorrow there will be a rematch with Ari and Tezuka."

"Tezuka? This will be interesting."

"You are more than welcome to come. I figure Gina told her cousin already," Serena smiled.

"Is that her real name?" Yuushi asked.

"We try an not to confuse her with her cousin. She kinda hates that. She goes be her middle and first name at matches. She doesn't want any special treatment."

"Who is her cousin?" Shishido asked.

"Yukimura Seichii," Serena said.

Gina took the bus a few stops till it reached Rikkai. I hope they are still here. I haven't seen them since they lost in the finals. I won't let you down. Gina said walking on to the courts.

"Hey, what is a little girl like you doing here?" Niou said playfully.

"You know why I am here," Gina said.

She walked past and greeted the members. She was given special treatment because of someone she is related to. This was the main reason she didn't attend this school. She would get special treatment no matter what she did. The regulars did, however, treat her like she was a little sister. That she didn't mind. She turned the court and saw her cousin and ran towards him.

"Seichii-kun!" Gina said hugging her cousin.

"Someone is happy. You look tired from your practice," Yukimura said patting his cousin on the head.

"Aribella-bucho came back from London! And she made us play in practice matches against the Seigaku regulars!I played against Fuji! She's gonna play a rematch against Tezuka-san!"

The rest of the Rikkai team heard what the little girl said. They couldn't believe that she mentioned rematch.

"Really, this would be interesting. Inui did say that the girl was good and that her data was growing by the second," Renji said.

"Good? Ari-bucho is great! She got in that school because of her talent. I'm just wondering what would happen when the other lost," Gina said looking at Renji.

"Why?" Yukimura asked.

"Never mind. Pretend that you didn't hear that!" Gina said nervously.

"Why? Don't tell me that they are dating."

"Hai. . ."

The team looked at the girl with shocked faces.

"That's a good one! That rock. The sadist would have a problem finding a girlfriend," Akaya said laughing at the thought of the Seigaku regulars actually dating.

"Wrong, he's dating one of my teammates, and the hyper one is dating my vice-captain. Funny huh!" Gina said.

The team sweat dropped. They wondered how that could happen.

"What? Just be happy that I'm not with that freaky freshman! He's such a jerk. Damn that kid and his ability to copy moves," Gina said.

"You played against him?" Yukimura asked.

"Ari-chan put us up against the Seigaku regulars. I played Ryoma, Hotaru played Snakey (Kaidoh), Inui played Tricha, Noella played Oishi, Momo played Serena, Koni and Eiji, Ryelle and Fuji, and Ari played Tezuka. It was really cool watching that match."

"How did you fair against Ryoma?"

"Lost in a tie-breaker," Gina pouted.

"You were that good?" Renji asked.

"Hey, there is a reason to why I am a freshman starter. I'm not great like him, but I have the stamina training. Ari-bucho took me under her wing and taught me a lot. I guess that was why I was so down when she left. Next year that will be different though," Gina said glaring at Renji.

"Gina, now don't give him that look. What happened between Aribella and Tezuka?" Yukimura asked.

"Well, Ari used Poison and that was sealed by Tezuka Zone, then she just went crazy and played sporadically. She lost to him hitting the Zero Shiki. She was crushed. Then a few weeks later, they were dating. Koni took over the team and started to yell at Ryelle in Italian. All that I know was that it was really bad. She never. . . "

"You're rambling again, Gina."

"Sorry, I guess since my match with Fuji gave me a ton of energy!"

"How did it end up that you all decided to practice together?"

"Ari-bucho ran in to them when she was running one day. Then on our run, we ran into them. She was kinda bitchy in the beginning, but she ended up fine! Then when our clubhouse got trashed after the match we had against Tamiji, we practiced at Seigaku. That's when we played the first practice matches. This time Ari-bucho was mad as hell that we were acting the way that we were, so she decided to put us in practice matches again. My match was really cool against Fuji-senpai. He has awesome techniques."

The team had shocked faces that this hyper girl could really be related to Yukimura. Sanada stared at the girl and you could tell be outward appearance that she was related, but personality wise, they were two completely different types.

"Did you win?" Yukimura asked.

"I lost. 6-4," Gina said lowering her head.

The team believed that she would lose, but that was a close game. Even Yukimura was surprised that she could put up such a fight.

"How did you get four games?" Akaya asked.

"I really don't remember that. I just remember losing the first five games then only remembering when the tenth game hit. I just forget games six, seven, eight, and nine. That's why I am so tired. Ah, Hotaru why are you here?" Gina said.

"I was running and I heard about a hyper girl bothering some tennis players. I figured that it was you Shiny!" Hotaru said.

"Hey, that's not nice," Gina pouted.

"Sorry, I'm Rikashina Hotaru. I'm Gina's teammate," Hotaru said bowing her head a little.

"You call each other by first names?" Akaya said.

"Yeah, since a majority are of foreign decent, we do that so it doesn't confuse the other. We even register that way. Koni and Tricha were the best at not knowing when to go on when they were freshman. Karin decided to do that," Hotaru explained.

Yukimura nodded in agreement.

"Hotaru-senpai, do you remember my match today against Fuji-senpai?" Gina asked.

"Sorry, only a few actually know what happened during that match. Ari only told me that what you don't remember is what's best for you and to not be surprised as to when you see Fuji tomorrow. You didn't notice it during the last game, but you will tomorrow. Trust me on that," Hotaru said with her tome changing.

"Oh, this is my cousin Yukimura Seichii," Gina said.

"This is the infamous cousin that Gina talked about. I can see why she decided on Firsca. No offense, but getting special treatment, is something that she doesn't like. Well, Gina, I think that I need to head. . . Hello?" Hotaru said answering her phone.

"What in the hell did Gina do to Fuji?!" Ryelle said.

"Ask Ari, she only told me a little about it."

"She's not answering her phone. Neither is Tezuka. Fuji won't talk about it. This is horrible. Who in the hell is she related to that would cause him to act like this?"

"I'll tell you later.'

Hotaru hung up the phone and noticed that Gina was gone.

"Where did Gina go?" Hotaru asked.

"She left to go home," Yukimura said.

"Hey, there is some freaky girl playing Shika!" They heard a somebody say.

The regulars found Gina playing the captain of the girls tennis team.

"Stupid freshman, just learn to stay away from the boys," Shika said.

Yukimura was going to step in when Hotaru stopped him.

"Don't raise attention that she is related to you. This is something that needs to be kept a secret till after nationals. This was a problem when we decided to place her on the team is her relation to you," Hotaru said. "I also wanna find out what Aribella told me about Gina."

They watched Gina lose two games. Then when Gina was serving the ball Hotaru noticed something different about it.

"Momo's bullet serve!" Hotaru said.

"What?" Sanada said.

"That is Momo's move. There is not way that her body can produce such a shot!"

They watched the return to find it become two balls and end up behind Shika.

"Double Take," Hotaru said.

"What is that?" Jackal asked.

"Ryelle-senpai's move. This is unbelievable. There is no way that this is happening. Is this what she meant by no matter what by next year she will be unstoppable?"

Yukimura turned to Hotaru and noticed the fear in her brown eyes. He turned his to the game and saw a move that he knew that she had never seen before no matter how many times she came here. It was Sanada's Lightning Strike.

"That's Sanada's Lightning Strike!" Mauri yelled.

"What is wrong with her?" Yukimura asked.

"No, this is her true playing style. I see what Ari was talking about. Apparently Gina has the ability to perform any special technique by any player even if she has never seen it before. She must have heard about it when she was listening to a conversation about Nationals," Hotaru said.

The game ended with Gina winning 6-1. Hotaru walked down to Gina.

"Hey there Shiny!" Hotaru said.

"Did I win or something?" Gina asked.

"That you did. Come on. Let's get home," Hotaru said pulling the freshman.

THE DAY OF THE MATCH

"Aribella?" Hotaru said walking up to her captain.

"Yes?" Aribella replied.

"I saw it last night. Gina needs to not watch the match today."

"When?"

"She went to visit her cousin and I learned that the move that she does is worse than anything. Watching it up close is just the worst thing ever. The only thing is that she can't remember the games that she won when that was going on."

"Next year, you will need to watch that. She will be a problem for a while. She will retain her memory after a while. Just give her time."

"Good luck, Ari-bucho."

This is why you are destined to be the leader of Firsca. You know the power that Gina has and it scares you for someone to hold such power. Just let her ease in to the power. Everything will work out fine. I just need to focus on my match later against Tezuka. Aribella thought.

The day passed by and she made her way to the courts. She looked over and saw Serena talking to some tennis players from another school and Gina with another set of tennis players. She also noticed Kajimoto and his team.

Is this match this big that they really needed to come. Aribella thought.

"Girls! I want 50 laps before the regulars come. Don't think that the guests that you decided to invite will stop you from warming up. I'll make it hell for two weeks! NOW!" Aribella said to her girls.

She walked over to Karin and told her that she was warming up. The playlist that she had was perfect for this match. She wanted to bring out it but she was afraid of its power. She remembered when she was in London with her coach.

Flashback:

"Do you really want me to use this against him when that time comes. There is nothing that can beat his Zone. It can be sealed, but not defeated in the sense that I am thinking of." Aribella said.

"Just try it. It will work. Just like he can use the Muga no Kyochi. . ."

Aribella got up to see that the girls were done and the Seigaku regulars came. She took a glance at Tezuka and knew that she was gonna beat him. The two stepped out on to the court and decided that Aribella would have the first serve.

She stared at the ball and threw it in the air and hit it like a normal serve.

This is too easy, there must be something that she is hiding. Tezuka thought returning the ball.

"That's odd. I thought she would have pulled out some awesome serve. She did take a special technique class in London," Ryelle said.

"Remember that she only lasted a month and a half," Konstaintine said watching the two still go out for one point.

The first point went to Tezuka. Aribella served again and knew that she needed to concentrate on the match. She needed to remember what her coach taught her in London.

Flashback:

"This move is impossible to hit!" Aribella said.

"It will only work on cross court shots. This is a move that needs to be perfectly planned," her coach said.

Aribella hit the ball so that she would be set up for the cross court shot. The ball was taken in by Tezuka Zone and he hit a cross court shot. She was there before the ball passed the net.

"Did you just see that!? She moved before the ball passed the net. It was like she knew that it would get there!" Eiji said.

"What in the hell is that?" Konstantine said.

"There is no way that she got that quick. It has to be fluke!" Hotaru said.

"What is the big deal with that?" Akaya said.

"Ari-bucho's only weakness was that she wasn't that fast. She trained really hard to hit Poison right. This move is just ridiculous," Gina said.

Aribella took the game away from Tezuka with that move. He attempted to use Tezuka Zone but it didn't work.

"First Wind: Light Breeze," Aribella said.

The other teams stood in awe that something could beat Tezuka Zone so easily.

"Holy crap! I never knew that she could do that!" Ryelle said.

"What power did she get when she went there?" Konstantine said.

Aribella used Light Breeze to seal off Tezuka Zone, but in order for her to gain a true edge, she would need to beak the others out. She knew that this was the time to see if she perfected the moves.

"Ready for more?" Aribella said.

Tezuka just nodded his head. The serve was fast. He launched the ball full speed and landed it in. Aribella moved and hit the ball like it weighed nothing to her. Tezuka wasn't caught off guard. He kept hitting hard ball only to see them returned lightly. She took a point by hitting a drop shot that sat in the air and then fell right when he was going to hit it.

"Second Wind: Tornado," Aribella said.

The match went on with the score ending up being 6-6. Aribella didn't bring out the two Winds becuase she didn't want to tire her self out too much. The tiebreaker seemed to go on for hours. They were up in the sixties by this point.

"How are they able to go on this long?" Kajimoto asked.

"Aribella has good stamina skills. It was something that she always had. I just wanna know about those new moves that she got!" Tricha said.

"Hey, Seichii, is she stronger than him now. I just feel that this power is something that she doesn't want to show," Gina said.

"I have no clue what is going on anymore," Yukimura said.

Aribella was tired of her not having the edge. She decided to use Light Breeze to get the advantage point. The last point was a grueling one. The rally alone was going on for ten minutes before she hit her final ball. The ball was a cross court and she was in the front to the back. She moved like the wind and got there. Tezuka expected the Tornado shot, but he was wrong. The return was stronger than the others, the ball spun on the ground and stopped.

"Game and match! Aribella 7-6!" Serena said from the chair.

"What was that?" Tezuka asked.

"Third Wind: Hurricane," Aribella said shaking his hand.

The two walked off the court. Where Aribella was bombarded with questions.

"I learned that in London from my coach. Inui you should be able to figure it out by now at least," Aribella said.

"I actually have not," Inui said.

"Your name," Oshitari said.

"What?" Everybody said.

"Aribella. If you break the name in to words it becomes Ari and Bella. It could be thought of as beautiful wind," Oshitari said.

"That's right. The winds are just a play off my name. Trust me that I have no clue how this happened. My coach told me that when I hit a crazy version of Poison. I didn't show that because I have never used the Winds against a good opponent. I only used Light Breeze when I played Allison in London. That was an interesting match," Aribella said.

"Wait, is that the bitch who made the bet that if she won you would leave, and if you won you weren't going anywhere?" Ryelle asked.

"Yup, that one."

"You lost?" Konstantine said.

"I won, I came home because someone had to go and hurt their wrist and others had to act all emo when I left. Now my plan for you girls is two weeks of a living hell. If you ever want to win, you will need to pay good attention to what we do," Aribella said.

The teams were slowly walking away except a few who stayed to talk.

"You must be Gina's cousin," Aribella said walking to Yukimura.

"Yes, you are doing a fine job with all the girls," he said.

"Thank you. I assume you saw the match with Hotaru last night."

He nodded his head.

"Know this. Her power can only reach and extent. She can not even come close to using my Winds. That move is just for me only. I am just worried that if she uses the wrong moves she will harm her body. I know that she was under a lot of stress with your condition. I think that you being sick made her want to become a stronger player," Aribella said.

"That is good to know. What are you planning to do with the power that she has?" Yukimura asked.

"I figure that she needs to find the right moves to imitate that won't put too much pressure on the body. Ryelle's Double Take can only be used three times during a match it uses that much energy. I could just imagine that last night she was running on empty, but it is because she was really trying to prove to you that she is as good as she knows she is. That is partially why Hotaru stopped you last night. Hotaru is like an older sister to Gina. That is why she stopped you. She knew just by looking at her she knew what she was thinking. Just believe me. You're her idol. She told me that you are the reason she plays tennis. I also know that she is out for that win in Nationals more than anybody. It's more like a redemption for you. She wants you to feel like you won three times. It may not make sense, but that is how she thinks."

"Thanks, for looking after her the way you do. I assume that Hotaru is your choice for captain next year?"

"That's right."

Yukimura walked away, leaving Tezuka, Ryelle and Fuji left.

"How's he doing to day?" Aribella asked.

"His arms are a little bruised, but other than that he is normal again I should say," Ryelle said before taking off with Fuji.

Tezuka and Aribella walked home most of the way in silence.

"Those moves were made to counter everything that I could do," Tezuka said.

"You got it. It just seemed like my coach could tell that I really wanted to beat you. Well, next it two weeks of hell, then Nationals. I wanna win this year. No doubt about it," Aribella said smiling.

They went their own ways leaving Aribella to plan the two weeks of hell.

Here is the next chapter. The whole thing with Gina will come in to play in the Nationals, when they find out that she is related to Yukimura. This won't be for a few chapters still, but nice to know now than later. Drop a review!
