Chapter 10: Normal
N E W S F L A S H
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Konbanwa. This is Misura, Miyuki and, you are watching 'Nihon News'...
In the news around Japan, there was a slight earthquake around 3-4 richter scale. It was a very light one so there was nothing destroyed or hurt. It just shook a little then it was done. There were no casualties.
Next on Stock Market, the market raised and the economy has yet again recovered from the effect of war on Iraq and USA.
About the news around the world, Iraq and US has now been friendly with each other and yet again somehow peace, though little by little is returning to the world.
And there was something interesting around town. The Royal Family, composed of Emperor Jinko, Empress Akiko and the Prince and Princess of Japan, though unofficially recognized are dining happily on a restaurant downtown. They were eating just like a normal family and they did not notice the press and media around. The family then went home together to the palace and rested there... The Prince, Jinzhou and Princess, Ahyiazhi are attending school in Japan after being sent to other countries to study there. We hope that they'll enjoy it here. Just like the royal family, we must all follow their footsteps and have a great time with our own families.
That's it for today, this is Misura, Miyuki and again this is 'Nihon News'"

*Jinzhou turned the Television off*
"As usual... making too much fuss..." Jinzhou said throwing the remote down on the sofa.
"Oh, Onii-chan... You should've been used to it by now..." Ahyiazhi said sleepily.
"Tomorrow we'll return again to our places... will it be okay? You.. I'm worried.." Jinzhou said hugging his sister.
"Yup.. and you...?" Ahyiazhi asked sweetly
"I am... I will be..." Jinzhou said just whispering the answer to his sister's ear.
"Do you think.. they won't recognize us...? being that the picture taken was a somehow close-up take?" Jinzhou asked.
"They won't... and we can handle all suspicions..." Ahyiazhi answered.
"Then, you better sleep, Princess... Prince..." Reika approached them, with Reira, and beckoned them to sleep.
"Hai! Hai!" Ahyia and Eiji answered
"It would be better if you are saying things and you are doing it also!" Reika complained and pulled both of them to their rooms.
And so the siblings went to sleep.... without further complaints... and rested to be ready for what will come tomorrow...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"See you again... Ahyia.." Jinzhou said the next day before leaving for school.
"Hai! See you again... soon..." Ahyia said smiling at her brother.
"Ja... Take care.." Jinzhou said
"Ja... You too..." Ahyia said then they both went off to school.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*[Jinzhou P O V]*
"Eiji!" the basketball captain, Fukatsu said as he called Eiji's attention.
"Captain... What is it?" Eiji said
"Well, practice will be longer today... coach will be coming today. Will it be okay with you..." Fukatsu said
"Coach... I see.. Yes.. its okay.." Eiji replied
"Then, I'll see you later..." Fukatsu said then went on his way.
And so the morning classes was done and it was lunch break...
"Sawakita-kun... Sawakita-kun..." a girl classmate of Eiji said calling him.
"Hai, nani?" Eiji said as he fixed his lunch box.
"Well, look at this celebrity magazine... this picture..." another girl said.
"Yes.. what about it...?" Eiji asked as he took the magazine and looked at the picture and he realized he was looking at his family's picture taken by the media, he was looking a little shocked.
"Well, Prince Jinzhou... he does look like you..." the girl said
"Yeah, you do look like the Prince!" a guy in their class also said as he looked at the picture.
"Well.. um... well... yeah, we do look alike... but I am more handsome than he is!" Eiji said somehow hiding the real truth.
"Yeah... Sawakita-kun..." a girl said.
"But you know... maybe you are the prince or something..." another guy said.
"Um... uh... well ... you know.. I wish I am the Prince... having all the honors and most of all having a pretty sister like Ahyia..." Eiji said bluffing.
"Ahyia? Oh, you mean the beautiful Lady Princess Ahyiazhi!" another guy said
"Right!.. hehe.. Lady Ahyiazhi... hehe.." Eiji said as he was trying to laugh at the mistake that might have revealed himself.
"Anyway... Prince Jinzhou is really cute...huh.. Sawakita-san?" a guy asked Eiji.
"Um.. Yeah... I think so.." Eiji answered awkwardly
"Yeah, but Sawakita-san's cuter, right!" a girl said blushing.
"That's some complement, ne Sawakita-san?" a guy said
"Oh... Thank you..." Eiji again answered awkwardly.
"Oh, just turn the page... I want to see the pretty Princess!" A guy said
"Pretty Princess? Lady Ahyia?" Eiji asked
"Why do you keep on calling the princess, Ahyia? Its like you know her!" another guy said.
"Gomen-nasai! Its just that I am used...ah! Iie! Its because its cuter calling her Ahyia... ne?" Eiji said making up excuses.
"Yeah, Yeah.... anyway she's really cute and they say super kind!" Mikio suddenly said
"Mikio! You too!" Eiji exclaimed turning to Mikio
"Why? Is it bad if I ever like her?" Mikio said
"No..not really.." Eiji said almost whispering to himself.
"Anyway..." Mikio was suppose to say something when he was interrupted by the bell.
"Well, see you later Sawakita, Mikio!" All the other students said.
"Yeah.." They both answered and went back to their class.
After the Afternoon classes it was time for the club activities.
"Sawakita-san, I would like you to meet coach, Shuichi Kazura." Fukatsu said introducing the coach.
"Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!" Eiji said bowing down and greeting the coach.
"I see... you are the new member Fukatsu-kun was telling me. You are a handsome Shonen! Nice meeting you." Coach Kazura said.
Shuichi Kazura is an old man with round glasses. He resembles Coach Anzai of the Shohoku Basketball team but taller and slimmer.
"Sannoh Team, Assemble!" Fukatsu exclaimed.
"We will have to practice harder since it is said that many teams are to arise with great abilities. And we will have to defend our title as the best team!" Fukatsu continued.
"HAI! CAPTAIN!" The team shouted altogether.
Then the Sannoh basketball team started their practice. The coach, Mr. Kazura was enjoying watching the best team in Japan, and with the newest ace, Sawakita Eiji.

*[Ahyiazhi POV]*
"Li-san! Ohaiyo!" a classmate of Ahyia said as she entered the classroom.
"Ohaiyo!" Ahyia said.
"Look at these pictures in the magazine!" another girl came to her.
"What... These? Lord Jinzhou's.." Ahyia said.
"Yup! and not only that, Lady Ahyiazhi.." a guy classmate of hers also went to see the pictures.
"He's cute! Especially when he smiles!" the girl said blushing.
"Really? Yeah..." Ahyia said happily
"And maybe he's so sweet and nice!" another girl said thinking of Prince Jinzhou.
"He is... and sometimes annoying and always caring..." Ahyia said happily but she suddenly remembered that she wasn't suppose to say those things.
"What....?!?" a girl said a little shocked at what Ahyia said.
"Its like you know him!" another said.
"No! What I mean is that... I think he is like that!" Ahyia tried to explain what she said to hide the truth.
"I see.. I thought you know him.. " A girl said
"I wish I could see him!" the girls said after looking at too much of the magazine with the pictures.
"Yeah..." the other girls said.
"But not only that! It would be absolutely nice if ever we could see Lady Ahyiazhi too!" a guy said looking at the magazine which just turned to the pages of the princess' pictures.
"Yeah... She's pretty! I wish I could be like her!" the girls all exclaimed while Ahyia was sweatdropping.
"What do you say about it, Ahyia?" suddenly Haruko turned and said.
"Um.. it will be fine... I guess..." Ahyia said sweatdropping.
"Then I won't have a hard time attracting Rukawa to even notice me!" a girl suddenly exclaimed.
"Yeah! It would be really easy to attract Ice King!" another girl said
"Yup! Like Ahyia here! She made Ice King look at her!" another girl said.
"You know... Ahyia looks like the Princess Ahyiazhi." a girl said looking at Ahyia
"Yeah! maybe fix Ahyia's hair a little... and a little lighter on the face and all..." a guy said picturing Ahyia and Ahyiazhi.
"Or maybe...Ahyia is Ahyiazhi!" another girl said turning to Ahyia
"Ahyia, are you Lady Ahyiazhi?" Haruko asked
"No... She's prettier than me.. and besides a princess studies in exclusive girl's schools with classmates of her kind!" Ahyia said coolly.
"You have a point, Ahyia..." the girls said
"Anyway, Ahyiazhi may be cute but Ahyia is cuter! At least she made Rukawa, Kaede notice her!" a guy said
"Yeah! I see she's absolutely amazing! The basketball Assistant Manager and the Volleyball team's ace player! What could be better!" another guy said.
"Not only that! Super Pretty, Super Nice, Absolutely Kind and Amazingly Smart!" another boy said.
"Ne, Ahyia?" they asked Ahyia who was sweatdropping.
"Hai... Arigato for all the complements..." Ahyia said sweatdropping.
More was to say about the Princess and Ahyia when the bell rang and they returned to their classes and seats to begin the day.
After the classes was done it was the start of the club activities. Ahyia first went to the basketball practice before her volleyball practice.
"Anyway... this is Coach Anzai!" Ayako said as she introduced the coach to the team.
"Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!" all the new members said said.
"Oho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho... *it's not santa clause's okay! ^^;*" Coach Anzai said
They were warming up... and when they were ready, Coach Anzai suddenly said
"I know that this will be a good chance to hone your skills and meet other players in other schools so I have arranged a practice game with Ryonan High School!"
And they were all looking at each other and can see the determination and eagerness.
"And so we need to practice!" Ayako said as everyone readied themselves up.
"Hai! Ayako! This tensai will show you what he's made of! And to Show Haruko-san and Ahyia-san that he is really a tensai!" Sakuragi said standing up.
"Except you! Yurusen!" Ayako hitted him with her paper fan.
"Do'aho!" Rukawa said.
"Teme! Rukawa! Teme Kitsune-Otoko!" Sakuragi said angrily.
"Sakuragi! Return to your basic training! Ahyia-chan please guard him!" Ayako said
"Hai, Sakuragi..." Ahyia said as she smiled cutely.
"Ah! Ahyia-san!" Sakuragi said as he returned to the corner while Rukawa, though nobody saw it, glanced at Ahyia and blushed.
And so the after about halftime of the game, Ahyia went to her Volleyball practice.
And when she arrived there they were practicing, very hard.
"Come on! If we don't practice we'll be beaten by the Ryonan team!" a member shouted as they were practicing. And when they saw Ahyia...
"Ahyia! It's good that you are here! We have to practice hard! We have a practice game with Ryonan!" Eleaen said.
"I see.." Ahyia said warming-up
"Then better join in.." Eleaen said as Ahyia went to enter with team.
She was enjoying her practices, though very tiring, because she was normal... she believes and she knows that she's Ahyia... with them..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After the very tiring day, both Ahyia and Eiji went to their homes.
"Lord Jinzhou, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Reika said as she entered Jinzhou's room.
"I'm waiting for a call..." Jinzhou said
"A girl perhaps..." Reika said teasingly.
"Yes.." Jinzhou said smiling
"I see.. Lady Ahyia.." Reika said
"How did you.." Jinzhou said surprised
"Of course... she's the only girl you always wait for..." Reika said smilingly.
Then the phone rang...
"Moshi, Moshi...Ahyia.." Jinzhou said as he answered the phone.
"Jin-oniichan...gengki ka...?" Ahyia said on the other line.
"Daijobu... and you?" Jinzhou said
"Daijobu!" Ahyia answered
"How was your day..." Jinzhou asked.
"It was fantastic... but tiring... and you.." Ahyia answered
"It was also great and tiring!" Jinzhou aswered happily.
"Well, people asked me about the pictures and all but they didn't know the truth." Ahyia said
"Me too.. I was glad that it didn't cause too much fuss at school..." Jinzhou said.
"Yeah me too... Well I was glad I talked to you today..." Ahyia said happily though with a tired voice.
"I am so happy you did not forget to call me...and that I heard your voice... I can sleep soundly..." Jinzhou said.
"Oyasumi-nasai! Sweet Dreams..." Ahyia said.
"Hai, Oyasumi... Sweet Dreams too..." Jinzhou said.
"Bwye-bwye" Ahyia said.
"Bye.." Jinzhou said smiling softly.
Then they both hunged up the phone and went to bed. And as they went to bed they remember happenings from chapter 1 to 9 in their dreams...

"Konnichiwa Minna-san, I am Jinzhou Eijiro Kawakuni. I am 17 years of age. It's really very nice to see you all." Jinzhou said
"It's a pleasure to meet you Lord Jinzhou!" the servants said warmly.
"It's your turn, Ahyiazhi." Emperor Jinko said.
"Hai, Otosan." Princess Ahyiazhi said cheerfully.
"Konnichiwa, I am Marineyuki Ahyiazhi Kawakuni. I am 16 years old and it's a pleasure to meet you all today. I hope we will all work harmoniously together and so we will all be friends." Ahyiazhi said as she smiled at them.
"It's also a pleasure meeting you Lady Ahyiazhi." the servants replied as warmly as she had said to them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Demo...Otosan...." Jinzhou said sounding a little disappointed.
"Nani-yo, Jinzhou?" their father asked a little curious.
"Otosan, ore wa...." Jinzhou started but could not finish his sentence so Ahyiazhi continued on
"Otosan, we appreciate that you want us to be with the elite of the country, but Jinzhou and I feel that we wanted to enter a simple school where we would be able to really interact with different kinds of people. Maybe a CO-ED school in a simple quiet place would do."
"Is it really your choice of school?" their mother asked
"HAI!" both of them answered in chorus.
"Then if that is your choice then we will comply with your ideas." their father said.
"Arigato, Otosan!" they again said in chorus.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, Jinzhou, have you chosen your school?" Lord Jinko, their father said while he was privately talking to his eldest child, with his wife.
"Hai, Otosan. I have chosen the school where I think is appropriate for me." Jinzhou answered slowly.
"And what school will that be?" Lady Akiko said
"Sannoh-da desu." Jinzhou said gently but with conviction
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, Ahyiazhi, have you chosen the perfect school for you?" their father asked that night as he talked to his daughter privately with his wife.
"Hai, Otosan!" Ahyiazhi answered cheerfully
"Then, what will be my dear Ahyiazhi?" her mother asked her very sweetly.
"Otosan, Okaasan, the school I am going to enter is.....
KANAGAWA PREFECTURAL SCHOOL SHOHOKU HIGH SCHOOL!!!" Ahyiazhi said happily.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Do you play basketball?" Mikio asked Eiji
"Hai..I am a varsity at my former school..." Eiji replied smiling
"Sugoi! You are good! Why don't you join us?" Masafumi said smiling
"Nani?" Eiji said shocked
"We're Basketball players. School's varsity...Why don't you join us? You're really good!" Mikio said
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Daijobu..." the tall boy said a bit coldly but somehow a little sweet.
"Hai...gomen-nasai..." Ahyia said sweetly smiling and then sticking her tongue out because of her carelessness.
"It's nothing...can you stand...." the boy said as he reached out his hand to the girl.
"Hai...Arigato..." Ahyia said as she reached the bishounen's hand which sent girls all around to be so shocked and envious of Ahyia. The bishounens around also was very shocked of the situation they are seeing.
"Could it be....Masaka! This is not happening..." a boy suddenly said.
"What the....this is weird...." another said
"Hey, I think you better go to the Infirmary...You're leg is bleeding..." the boy said as with the tone he used earlier, ignoring the reactions of the people around.
"Hai...Arigato..." Ahyia said as sweetly as before.
"Since you are new I better accompany you...." the boy said.
"Thank you....You've done so much for me..." Ahyia said gratefully.
"It's nothing I told you..." the boy said
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I will now announce the perfect Assistant Manager for Shohoku Basketball Team..." Ayako started
"She has good analizations, ideas and all... She has excellent leadership.... great strength, a very good liking in Basketball and could play it even better than the players themselves..." She continued.
Everyone knew who she was... except the other participants wishing still that they were her...
"And our new Assistant Manager is... Ms. Li Mari Ahyia of First year section 1." Ayako ended her statement smiling nicely.
And everyone cheered knowing that she, Li Mari Ahyia, was the Perfect Assistant Manager....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"We are the Shohoku Basketball Team... And our only goal is..... National Champions... so get spunky and train... we will reach that goal no matter what..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
But Ahyia did an unexpected thing....
She slid downwards in the direction of the ball and managed to hit it so that the ball volleyed back to the one who accidentally threw it.
"Nice one... miss.." a foreigner like her said as she received the ball in her hands.
And Ahyia was still in the slide receiving position she made...
Apparantly, one of her most hidden talents just appeared...
And everyone was surprised....
"Woah... not only is she good in Basketball, she's excellent in class, and amazing in volleyball..." one of those around them said looking at the scene.
"Oh.. Gomen-nasai, the ball went to your direction... My name is Schleizhen, Eleaen...captain of Shohoku volleyball team... and you, pretty miss..." the girl said
"I am Li Mari Ahyia... nice to meet you.." Ahyia replied
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sawakita-san... I want you to study full basic training first... then we go to the hard parts... alright... I want you to be our ace..." Fukatsu said
"Hai.." Eiji said without hesitation.
"Then we'll start..." Fukatsu then said as he started the personal training on Eiji.
Fukatsu Issei did not even had a hard time teaching Eiji as he was very flexible in learning everything... He also was very very good in the sport so he is not so hard to teach...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"J I N - O N I I C H A N ! ! !" Ahyia exclaimed and went to hug his brother.
"Ahyia-chan... I missed you!" Jinzhou said.
"Yup! Me too!" Ahyia said happily.
"Anyway... here.." Jinzhou said as he gave Ahyia a bouquet of roses.
"You know... a bouquet of roses could have been something that might have revealed my true identity..." Ahyia said irritatingly but smiled.
"Gomen-nasai..." Jinzhou said as he sweatdropped and smiled.
"And can you believe it... they thought that Jin was a dashing guy.. very romantic and my boyfriend! Imagine that!" Ahyia said explaining.
"Well.. hehe..." Jin said giggling.
"Anyway.. we must all eat!" their father said and they all sat down.
And the royal family ate out as a normal Japanese family. And they were enjoying the company of each other... And they exchanged stories and all... and they were happy that they were together and happy that they were all there with each other eating out as a normal family.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
And because of their peaceful rest they are both ready for what is going to happen! For what exciting lives they have to live... What tomorrow brings they are going to be ready for it... For they are filled with determination and good memories to go on!
Author's Note: Yay! At last I've finished chapter 10! I really did a lot during these past few weeks.. so.. anyway good that I've finished this chapter.. look forward to the next! R&R please... and thank you to all those who review and read my story!

"Not only that! Super Pretty, Super Nice, Absolutely Kind and Amazingly Smart!" another boy said.
"Ne, Ahyia?" they asked Ahyia who was sweatdropping.
"Hai... Arigato for all the complements..." Ahyia said sweatdropping.
More was to say about the Princess and Ahyia when the bell rang and they returned to their classes and seats to begin the day.
After the classes was done it was the start of the club activities. Ahyia first went to the basketball practice before her volleyball practice.
"Anyway... this is Coach Anzai!" Ayako said as she introduced the coach to the team.
"Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!" all the new members said said.
"Oho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho... *it's not santa clause's okay! ^^;*" Coach Anzai said
They were warming up... and when they were ready, Coach Anzai suddenly said
"I know that this will be a good chance to hone your skills and meet other players in other schools so I have arranged a practice game with Ryonan High School!"
And they were all looking at each other and can see the determination and eagerness.
"And so we need to practice!" Ayako said as everyone readied themselves up.
"Hai! Ayako! This tensai will show you what he's made of! And to Show Haruko-san and Ahyia-san that he is really a tensai!" Sakuragi said standing up.
"Except you! Yurusen!" Ayako hitted him with her paper fan.
"Do'aho!" Rukawa said.
"Teme! Rukawa! Teme Kitsune-Otoko!" Sakuragi said angrily.
"Sakuragi! Return to your basic training! Ahyia-chan please guard him!" Ayako said
"Hai, Sakuragi..." Ahyia said as she smiled cutely.
"Ah! Ahyia-san!" Sakuragi said as he returned to the corner while Rukawa, though nobody saw it, glanced at Ahyia and blushed.
And so the after about halftime of the game, Ahyia went to her Volleyball practice.
And when she arrived there they were practicing, very hard.
"Come on! If we don't practice we'll be beaten by the Ryonan team!" a member shouted as they were practicing. And when they saw Ahyia...
"Ahyia! It's good that you are here! We have to practice hard! We have a practice game with Ryonan!" Eleaen said.
"I see.." Ahyia said warming-up
"Then better join in.." Eleaen said as Ahyia went to enter with team.
She was enjoying her practices, though very tiring, because she was normal... she believes and she knows that she's Ahyia... with them..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After the very tiring day, both Ahyia and Eiji went to their homes.
"Lord Jinzhou, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Reika said as she entered Jinzhou's room.
"I'm waiting for a call..." Jinzhou said
"A girl perhaps..." Reika said teasingly.
"Yes.." Jinzhou said smiling
"I see.. Lady Ahyia.." Reika said
"How did you.." Jinzhou said surprised
"Of course... she's the only girl you always wait for..." Reika said smilingly.
Then the phone rang...
"Moshi, Moshi...Ahyia.." Jinzhou said as he answered the phone.
"Jin-oniichan...gengki ka...?" Ahyia said on the other line.
"Daijobu... and you?" Jinzhou said
"Daijobu!" Ahyia answered
"How was your day..." Jinzhou asked.
"It was fantastic... but tiring... and you.." Ahyia answered
"It was also great and tiring!" Jinzhou aswered happily.
"Well, people asked me about the pictures and all but they didn't know the truth." Ahyia said
"Me too.. I was glad that it didn't cause too much fuss at school..." Jinzhou said.
"Yeah me too... Well I was glad I talked to you today..." Ahyia said happily though with a tired voice.
"I am so happy you did not forget to call me...and that I heard your voice... I can sleep soundly..." Jinzhou said.
"Oyasumi-nasai! Sweet Dreams..." Ahyia said.
"Hai, Oyasumi... Sweet Dreams too..." Jinzhou said.
"Bwye-bwye" Ahyia said.
"Bye.." Jinzhou said smiling softly.
Then they both hunged up the phone and went to bed. And as they went to bed they remember happenings from chapter 1 to 9 in their dreams...

"Konnichiwa Minna-san, I am Jinzhou Eijiro Kawakuni. I am 17 years of age. It's really very nice to see you all." Jinzhou said
"It's a pleasure to meet you Lord Jinzhou!" the servants said warmly.
"It's your turn, Ahyiazhi." Emperor Jinko said.
"Hai, Otosan." Princess Ahyiazhi said cheerfully.
"Konnichiwa, I am Marineyuki Ahyiazhi Kawakuni. I am 16 years old and it's a pleasure to meet you all today. I hope we will all work harmoniously together and so we will all be friends." Ahyiazhi said as she smiled at them.
"It's also a pleasure meeting you Lady Ahyiazhi." the servants replied as warmly as she had said to them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Demo...Otosan...." Jinzhou said sounding a little disappointed.
"Nani-yo, Jinzhou?" their father asked a little curious.
"Otosan, ore wa...." Jinzhou started but could not finish his sentence so Ahyiazhi continued on
"Otosan, we appreciate that you want us to be with the elite of the country, but Jinzhou and I feel that we wanted to enter a simple school where we would be able to really interact with different kinds of people. Maybe a CO-ED school in a simple quiet place would do."
"Is it really your choice of school?" their mother asked
"HAI!" both of them answered in chorus.
"Then if that is your choice then we will comply with your ideas." their father said.
"Arigato, Otosan!" they again said in chorus.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, Jinzhou, have you chosen your school?" Lord Jinko, their father said while he was privately talking to his eldest child, with his wife.
"Hai, Otosan. I have chosen the school where I think is appropriate for me." Jinzhou answered slowly.
"And what school will that be?" Lady Akiko said
"Sannoh-da desu." Jinzhou said gently but with conviction
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, Ahyiazhi, have you chosen the perfect school for you?" their father asked that night as he talked to his daughter privately with his wife.
"Hai, Otosan!" Ahyiazhi answered cheerfully
"Then, what will be my dear Ahyiazhi?" her mother asked her very sweetly.
"Otosan, Okaasan, the school I am going to enter is.....
KANAGAWA PREFECTURAL SCHOOL SHOHOKU HIGH SCHOOL!!!" Ahyiazhi said happily.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Do you play basketball?" Mikio asked Eiji
"Hai..I am a varsity at my former school..." Eiji replied smiling
"Sugoi! You are good! Why don't you join us?" Masafumi said smiling
"Nani?" Eiji said shocked
"We're Basketball players. School's varsity...Why don't you join us? You're really good!" Mikio said
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Daijobu..." the tall boy said a bit coldly but somehow a little sweet.
"Hai...gomen-nasai..." Ahyia said sweetly smiling and then sticking her tongue out because of her carelessness.
"It's nothing...can you stand...." the boy said as he reached out his hand to the girl.
"Hai...Arigato..." Ahyia said as she reached the bishounen's hand which sent girls all around to be so shocked and envious of Ahyia. The bishounens around also was very shocked of the situation they are seeing.
"Could it be....Masaka! This is not happening..." a boy suddenly said.
"What the....this is weird...." another said
"Hey, I think you better go to the Infirmary...You're leg is bleeding..." the boy said as with the tone he used earlier, ignoring the reactions of the people around.
"Hai...Arigato..." Ahyia said as sweetly as before.
"Since you are new I better accompany you...." the boy said.
"Thank you....You've done so much for me..." Ahyia said gratefully.
"It's nothing I told you..." the boy said
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I will now announce the perfect Assistant Manager for Shohoku Basketball Team..." Ayako started
"She has good analizations, ideas and all... She has excellent leadership.... great strength, a very good liking in Basketball and could play it even better than the players themselves..." She continued.
Everyone knew who she was... except the other participants wishing still that they were her...
"And our new Assistant Manager is... Ms. Li Mari Ahyia of First year section 1." Ayako ended her statement smiling nicely.
And everyone cheered knowing that she, Li Mari Ahyia, was the Perfect Assistant Manager....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"We are the Shohoku Basketball Team... And our only goal is..... National Champions... so get spunky and train... we will reach that goal no matter what..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
But Ahyia did an unexpected thing....
She slid downwards in the direction of the ball and managed to hit it so that the ball volleyed back to the one who accidentally threw it.
"Nice one... miss.." a foreigner like her said as she received the ball in her hands.
And Ahyia was still in the slide receiving position she made...
Apparantly, one of her most hidden talents just appeared...
And everyone was surprised....
"Woah... not only is she good in Basketball, she's excellent in class, and amazing in volleyball..." one of those around them said looking at the scene.
"Oh.. Gomen-nasai, the ball went to your direction... My name is Schleizhen, Eleaen...captain of Shohoku volleyball team... and you, pretty miss..." the girl said
"I am Li Mari Ahyia... nice to meet you.." Ahyia replied
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sawakita-san... I want you to study full basic training first... then we go to the hard parts... alright... I want you to be our ace..." Fukatsu said
"Hai.." Eiji said without hesitation.
"Then we'll start..." Fukatsu then said as he started the personal training on Eiji.
Fukatsu Issei did not even had a hard time teaching Eiji as he was very flexible in learning everything... He also was very very good in the sport so he is not so hard to teach...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"J I N - O N I I C H A N ! ! !" Ahyia exclaimed and went to hug his brother.
"Ahyia-chan... I missed you!" Jinzhou said.
"Yup! Me too!" Ahyia said happily.
"Anyway... here.." Jinzhou said as he gave Ahyia a bouquet of roses.
"You know... a bouquet of roses could have been something that might have revealed my true identity..." Ahyia said irritatingly but smiled.
"Gomen-nasai..." Jinzhou said as he sweatdropped and smiled.
"And can you believe it... they thought that Jin was a dashing guy.. very romantic and my boyfriend! Imagine that!" Ahyia said explaining.
"Well.. hehe..." Jin said giggling.
"Anyway.. we must all eat!" their father said and they all sat down.
And the royal family ate out as a normal Japanese family. And they were enjoying the company of each other... And they exchanged stories and all... and they were happy that they were together and happy that they were all there with each other eating out as a normal family.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
And because of their peaceful rest they are both ready for what is going to happen! For what exciting lives they have to live... What tomorrow brings they are going to be ready for it... For they are filled with determination and good memories to go on!
