Prince of Tennis

Winter break came and went, the students came back and classes began normally again. One class that was going full speed was Gym class. Normally, this was Siho's favorite class, but today...it wasn't. They were playing tennis. Now, he liked tennis, he just hated the fact he wound up in the infirmary because of his opponent.

"Does it hurt...?"

Siho adjusted his place on the infirmary bed, and placed an ice pack between his legs, "Kairi...," he looked to his fellow Slifer, "It does hurt...but I don't blame you for nailing me in my nuts, ok? I blame Christina," he turned and glared at his best friend.

"Hey, what did I do?"

"You said, 'I got money for ya Siho, lookit me!'...so I turned and BAM I go down,"

Christina shrugged, "Well at least a ball to your own balls isn't very noticable afterwords. I mean," she nodded to the side and the other two Slifers turned to see Crowler holding an ice pack over his black eye, "Cyclops over there is gonna have that shiner for at least a week,"

"Yeah...that's true," Siho winced as he held up the ice pack, "It's gonna hurt to pee for awhile...,"

Kairi twiddled her fingers, "I sowwy, Siho-kun...," she whispered.

Christina glared at her, while Siho smiled, "No worries, Kairi. Like I said, I don't blame you," he said before tossing the ice pack at Christina, "Get some more ice...,"

"What am I, your servant?!"

"No," he smirked, "You the one who caused this so therefore, the least you can do is gimme some cold ice,"

Christina clenched a fist, eye twitching, "I'll...give you something...,"

WHACK!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

-----

Jordan looked up from his notebook, and looked around.

I thought I just heard Siho just now... he looked around the tennis court where Jaden was undergoing some routines with another student, then shrugged, "Must've imagined it,". He looked head and saw Mindy, Jasmine, and Syrus walk up to the net on the court while Jaden was getting chewed out by the other kid. Jordan stashed his notebook into his bookbag, then walked out of the stands onto the court.

As he got closer, he could hear some of the conversation the group was having.

"I think he's a bit obsessive...," Jasmine commented.

"Let him obsess over me!" Mindy squealed.

Jordan got a good look at the tennis player and frowned. Harrington Rosewood, heir to his family's sporting goods company. I'll admit, they have good stuff, but this jerk has been giving me a bad vibe ever since I met up with him.

"Head's up!"

Jordan ducked quickly as a tennis ball came flying at him. Luckily, the ball only grazed his hair and slowed down enough to drop to the floor after passing him.

"Watch it!"

"Sorry!" Jaden apologized before falling to the court floor exhausted, "This is wearing me out...,"

Syrus frowned, "That's what happens when Crowler thinks you're the one who beaned him in the face. Because of that, you gotta do all the tennis playing until you 'like' it," the Slifer sighed and shook his head.

"Hi, Alexis!"

Both Jordan and Harrington turned around at that, to see Alexis walking up to them, the tennis ball that grazed the Ra in her hand.

"Sorry I'm all sweaty, Alexis," Harrington walked up to her, "It's just that I've been-,"

Alexis ignored him and walked over to Jaden, "I've been looking for you Jaden. I ran into Professor Banner on the way here and he said someone spotted Chazz,"

Chazz... Jordan shook his head, He loses a few duels and he skips out on his family yacht. Jeez, what a crybaby...

"TIME OUT!"

Jordan, Alexis, and Jaden turned and noticed Harrington stomping up to the net, "Huh?"

Harrington glared at Jaden, "You can't just talk to a first-round pick like Alexis! You can't even Buggy-Whip with a little top-spin to it, so get away from my little Obelisk Pixie!" he snapped.

Jordan's eye twitched at those words, Your...WHAT?

"Listen Jaden...just step away from the beautiful girl. She's way outta your league, so don't make me go athletic on you!"

Jaden blinked, "We're just talking...," he turned back to Alexis, "So what were you saying, Lex?"

"Lex?!" Harrington popped up between them, "What is that, some kind of pet name? Where'd you come up with that, what's it mean, what's it stand for?!"

Jordan walked up to the group, "It's short for Alexis, jockstrap, and it's not a pet name at all, I use it sometimes when talking to her!"

Harrington spun around, "Aha! So another loser coming after the beautiful pixie of the court!"

Alexis frowned, "First off, none of these guys are after me, and two," she wrapped an arm around Jordan's shoulder, "He's my cousin, so don't call him a loser,"

"Whatever," Harrington turned back to Jaden, "This huddle between us is over!"

"Then back off," Jaden shot back, "I'm just trying to talk here!"

The tennis player grinned and walked past him, "I've just thought of a way to settle this. You and me, Jaden, right now!"

Jaden's shoulder's slumped, "Oh c'mon, a tennis match? You gotta be kiddin' me,"

"Hehehe...," Harrington turned around, "Not a tennis match, Jaden. A duel!"

"A duel?"

"That's right, a duel! The winner of the match gets to be Alexis' fiancee!"

"Whoa, hold up!" Alexis blinked, "Fiancee?!"

Jordan glared at the two, "OVER MY DEAD BODY!"

-----

This is such a waste of time... Jordan shook his head as the two other boys stood on the court, Duel Disks at the ready, Although, it would be better if Jaden got to be Lex's fiancee...least he's not a creep.

"This is great," Mindy squealed, "Two cute boys dueling for you hand in marriage!"

Alexis sighed and folded her arms, "I'm not getting married, Mindy...,"

"Well, fine, you're getting engaged, why split hairs?" Jasmine said with a smile.

"I'm not getting engaged either Jaz!" she snapped, glaring at her friends, "The only reason I haven't walked out of here is because I want to see if the rumors that Harrington is as good as Zane are true!"

As good as my brother? Syrus turned to Harrington who had a look on his face that meant something big was coming, Oh boy...

"That the only reason?" Mindy challenged.

Alexis shrugged, "That and keeping my cousin from going nuts on Harrington after this,"

J: 4000
H: 4000

"Servers first!" Harrington drew his card and looked at his hand, "I"m gonna volley a Spell Card at ya...Servers Ace!"

"A Spell Card already??" Jaden blinked, "Man...,"

"That's right...and just like a power serve, this will make you sweat," Harrington inserted the card into his disk, "I pick a card from my hand, and you can guess whether it's a Spell, Trap or Monster. If you guess right, you're fine, but if you guess wrong...then you get served with a stinging 1500 points of damage!"

Jaden grinned, "So all I gotta do is guess? Easy!". He squinted at the card and hummed for a short while, making the nearby onlookers wait impatiently.

Harrington sighed, "Look at you! This is probably the hardest workout you've had all week-long!"

"Shaddup! I'm guessin' now...Spell Card!"

The tennis captain looked at him and grinned slightly, "You sure...? There's still sometime left to change your mind...,"

Jaden grew a bit nervous, "Uh...wait, I change it to Trap card!"

"Hehehehe...," Harrington turned over the card, "Wrooooong. Monster!" he laughed, "Guess we foudn something else you're bad at,"

Jaden's eye twitched as a bead of sweat rolled down his face.

"Now, this monster goes away," Harrington tucked the card into his pocket, "Then I'll unleash the force of Servers Ace! Try returning this shot, pal!"

The holo-card on Harrington's field glowed and let out a beam of light that crashed into the ground at Jaden's feet, blowing nearby tennis balls into the stands.

J: 2500
H: 4000

"15-Love...I'll just place this card facedown, and finish the set," Harrington smiled as he inserted another card into his disk.

"Better make this count...," Jaden drew as soon as the blast dissapated and glanced at his hand. Hmm...decisions, decisions he looked at his opponent, Since he doesn't have any monsters out, I guess I'll go for the direct attack...

Jaden slapped a card onto his disk, "Elemental Hero Avian (1000/1000), attack with Quill Cascade!"

"I don't think so, Birdbrain!" Harrington smirked as Avian's shower of sharp feathers came down on him, "I activate my facedown, Recieve Ace! This card negates your attack, and deals 1500 points of damage!"

Oh boy Jaden covered his head as the Quill Cascade did a U-turn and came back at him.

J: 1000
H: 4000

"That's 30-Love," Harrington took three cards from his deck and put them in the Graveyard, "Of course I gotta pay these cards because I played that card, but it was worth it,"

Jaden drew card, "I'll just throwdown a facedown and end my turn,"

"God, you are lazy!" Harrington said smugly as he drew his card and inserted it into his disk, "That's fine by me, I play Smash Ace! This lets me turn over the card on the top of my deck, and if it's a monster...,"

"I get nailed, right?" Jaden groaned, "C'mon...,"

Harrington pulled out and looked over the card, then held it out, "A monster, ha!"

"Aw...Lady Luck strikes again. She hates me!" Jaden tugged at his hair.

"But she loves me, like all the girls do," Harrington pointed to Jaden, "Activate Smash Ace's effect!"

Jaden watched as wide vortex rushed at him from above, swirling faster and faster as it descended on him.

"I don't think so! I activate my facedown Trap Card, Feather Wind!" Jaden grinned as his facedown card was lifted upward.

"What the?!"

Avian flapped his wings hard, and as soon as the Smash Ace energy came into contact, it was sent flying to the sidelines, right into the audience.

"Sorry, but that ace of yours just got knocked out of bounds," Jaden jerked a thumb to the dirt cloud where his friends stood, coughing.

Harrington smiled as he drew, "You win some, you lose some. Sometimes, you gotta take hits to make 'em!" he laughed.

-----

Jordan sweatdropped as the two duelists began a laughing contest, "I don't see what's so funny about this,"

Syrus nodded, "This is pathetic...,"

"It's just said," Jasmine agreed while Alexis nodded in silent agreement.

Mindy giggled, "I can imagine Harrington laughing while I tickle him!" she squealed.

Jordan looked at her horrified, "You...are one crazy chick...,"

"So?"

"So stay the hell away from me,"

-----

Jaden drew his next card after the idiotic laugh-fest, "Sweet...I play the Spell Card Polymerization! I use this to fuse my Clayman and Burstinatrix into the Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster (2000/2500)!"

Cheers from Jordan and Syrus came to Jaden's ears as the Rampart Blaster stood alongside Avian, gun arm at the read.

"Avian, attack Harrington with Electric Orb!" Jaden ordered.

Avian brought his hands together and as soon as a sphere of energy was created, he launched it hard and fast, hitting the target dead on.

J: 1000
H: 3000

"Rampart Blaster, follow-up with Rampart Barrage!"

Harrington lifted his head to see an entire cluster of missles shoot out of the Blaster's gun-arm and fly at him, sending up a cloud of smoke as they crashed into the ground.

J: 1000
H: 1000

Jaden smiled as his monsters came back, "Got anymore cliche's?"

Harrington drew, "I think this time I'll let my card do the talking for me!" he inserted a card into his disk, "I play the card, Deuce!"

"Another Spell card?" Jaden scratched his cheek as the hologram appeared, showing him what type it was.

"That's right, but I can guarantee you that you've never seen one like this before," Harrington looked at the card, "I can only activate this when we both have only 1000 Life Points...," he paused and took a comb and ran it through his hair, "Now, we can only attack with one monster, and Life Points don't matter. You win by being the first to damage the other play twice in a row,"

"So...it's nothing but a head-to-head match now?" Jaden inquired.

Harrington smiled as he slapped a card onto his disk, "Told ya that card will say it all. Now, I summon the Big Server!"

A huge, cyborg-looking tennis player appeared on the field, a tennis racket attached to his right arm and pupil-less eyes staring at Jaden.

Big Server ATK 300

"The reason he's called the Big Server is because his serve is so big...plus, he can attack you directly!" Harrington turned to his monster, "Big Server, nail him with Spiked Serve!" he ordered.

Big Server shouted and tossed a spiked tennis ball into the air before smacking it hard with it's racket, sending it flying into Jaden's Life Points.

J: 700
H: 1000

"That was easy...I just need one more, the duel will be over, and Alexis will be mine," Harrington gloated.

-----

"Down, Jordan, down!"

Alexis sighed and shook her head as Syrus, Mindy and Jasmine all had to hold onto the seething Ra from going on the field and smacking the tennis heir with his own racket.

This...is so embarassing... she thought, peeking out from behind her fingers.

-----

"By the way, Big Server has a special ability. He allows me to take Servers Ace from my deck and add it to my hand," he reached down, searched his deck and placed the card with the others, "You can take one too, but it won't matter...it won't be as good as this one. Now draw your card!"

Jaden rolled his eyes and drew his card, "Ok...,"

Harrington inserted a card into his disk, "Now I'll activate the magic of Servers Ace!" he held up a card, it's back to Jaden, "You remember how this works, don't you? Guess what card I have in my hand, and if you get it wrong, you lose 1500 points, but if you get it right, you're safe,"

I hope I get this right... Jaden looked at the card, "Monster!"

Harrington blinked, then smiled as he turned it over to reveal it was a monster card, "Good guess,"

"Yes!" Jaden pumped an arm, "I'm still in this!"

"Oh yeah?" Harrington inserted yet another card into his disk slot, "Let's see if you're still in it after this. I play Giant Racket and equip it to my Big Server!"

A glowing aura engulfed the Big Server for a few moments and after it went away, everyone saw a very large, red racket on his back.

"Think you're still in it?"

"To win it!" Jaden grinned, "I can take that Big Server down, no problem!"

Harrington chuckled, "Maybe...not! You see, when Giant Racket is equipped to him, Big Server has the ability to decrease the power of an opponent's attack right down to 0!"

"And with Deuce on the field...,"

"He cannot be destroyed," Harrington laughed, "You can't win!"

Jaden growled as he drew his card, "We'll see about that. First, I play the Spell card Diffusion! This allows me to split a Fusion monster back into the monsters that was used to create it. So Rampart Blaster..," he paused as his Blaster dissolved away and both Burstinatrix and Clayman joined Avian on the field, "is gone and I get two more Heroes!"

"I'm starting to see why you're in Slifer...because you don't listen!" Harrington looked at his Spell card, "As long as Deuce is on the field, you can only attack with one monster, so it won't matter if you have two or three monsters on the field!"

Jaden smiled, "I'm starting to see why you're a snobby Obelisk...,"

"What did you just say?!"

"You snobs always underestimate your opponents," Jaden slapped a card into a slot, "I play the Spell Card Feather Shot! This card allows Avian to attack once for every monster on my side of the field,"

"When...,"

"When did I get this card?" Jaden finished, "When you used your Big Server's effect. Remember, you said it wouldn't matter what I drew, but it looks like your wrong! Avian...," he looked at his fine feathered Hero, "Attack with Quill Cascade, times three!"

Avian leapt into the air and fired off three seperate waves of sharpened feathers. The first one hit the Big Server and he stayed. The second wave hit him again, destroying the Server. The final one hit Harrington directly, ending the duel.

The snobby Obelisk fell to his knees, sobbing at his loss, "She was my first draft pick, my Marquis girlfriend, my soul mate!"

Jaden sweatdropped as Harrington climbed to his feet and ran out crying for his mother. He shrugged, then walked to Alexis, not really hearing the others cheer for him.

"Alexis, I guess I'm your fiancee now, huh?"

"..."

"One question...what's a fiancee?"

CRASH!

Mindy, Jasmine, Syrus and Jordan fell to the floor at the question.

-----

Harrington knelt on a cliffside, crying his eyes out later that day, the sun setting in the distance.

"Alexis!" he screamed, "I'll win you yet!!!".

A loud cracking sound made him turn around to see Jordan standing behind him, cracking his knuckles while an evil grin was plastered on his face.

"Uh...w-wait...,"

WHAP WHAP WHAP WHAP WHAP WHAP WHAP

A few minutes later, Jordan walked away, slapping his hands together, smiling while Harrington lay on the dirt behind him, leg twitching every few seconds while large lumps occupied his scalp.

"That'll teach him not to move in on Lex," Jordan said to himself, smiling widely as he walked down the path away from the cliff.
