Saturday morning 6.30am
A cab stopped in front of the Seishun Gakuen. After a moment, a petite youth stepped out, carrying a Nike sports bag, dressed in loose fitting Adidas T-shirt, long pants and a Nike cap.
"So this is Seishun Gakuen, home of the famous Seigaku tennis team," he mused to himself.
"Well since I'm here, I might as well take a look around. Now where are the tennis courts." he mumbled as he went off in search of the tennis courts.
Having found the tennis courts, he now faced a new problem. . . "Oh shoot I'm too early, there's no one here yet. * sweat drops* Well, Ryuzaki sensei mentioned that the regulars train on Saturdays as well so they should be getting here soon. Guess I'll just have to wait."
Having come straight from the airport after a long and harrowing flight from New York, an exhausted Takezato Kazura sat down below a nearby tree and proceeded to fall asleep.

Saturday morning 7.15am
"Good morning Oishi, still the earliest I see," greeted Fuji from behind.
"Oh good morning to you too Fu. . ." Oishi managed to say before a missile in the form of the red headed Eiji launched himself at full blast into Oishi.
"Good Morning Oishi!!!" Eiji said as Oishi tried to untangle himself from the red head's enthusiastic embrace.
"Good morning to you too Eiji," Oishi sighed in a long suffering manner at his exuberant doubles partner. Only Eiji could be this hyperactive so early on a Saturday morning. With Eiji bouncing and chattering all the way, Fuji smiling his trademark smile, they made their way to the tennis courts.

Saturday morning 7.30am
Under Tezuka's strict instructions, training for the regulars of Seigaku tennis team began. Only the regulars trained on Saturday, so as to have the tennis courts all to themselves. As training progressed, the topic of conversation returned to their new manager Takezato Kazura. So far, from sources unknown, the information gathered revealed him to be a First year transfer student from New York who will be living with Ryuzaki sensei because he has no relatives in Japan and Ryuzaki sensei and his parents are old friends. This has led to speculation that Ryuzaki sensei is allowing him to be manager only as a show of favouritism. However it seemed unlikely that sensei would actually do such a thing. The fact that no one had met this Takezato Kazura just added to the mystery. As they ran around the courts, only Fuji noticed the person sleeping under a nearby tree.
* Yawn * "Huh? Where am I?" asked a very disoriented Kazura. (A/N people in New York are used to being called by their first names) A blurry-eyed Kazura looked around trying to figure out where he was and what had woken him up. Suddenly it all came back to him that he had fallen asleep while waiting for the Seigaku tennis team to arrive and heated argument between a short little fellow and a tall guy with spiky hair had pulled him out of his dreamland.
He got up and went forwards, nearer to the tennis courts hoping for a closer look. Out of all the regulars, only Fuji noticed his presence.
"I'm telling you that ball was in," Ryoma said.
"I'm telling you it was out," Momoshiro retorted
"Get back to your game and stop making so much noise," hissed a very irritated Kaidoh.
"Eh, Fuji do you want to bet on who will win this argument?" Eiji asked excitedly.
"Ryuzaki sensei" Fuji replied calmly, his trademark smile firmly in place, with an added twinkle in his eyes.
"What is going on in here?" Ryuzaki sensei bellowed. Having just had a briefing with Tezuka and Oishi about the upcoming competitions, she was partly annoyed and partly amused to find the pair arguing over something so trivial and dragging everyone into it.
Her arrival together with the captain and vice-captain had an immediate effect on the team. Momoshiro jumped backwards and unfortunately crashed into Kaidoh who fell over causing Eiji to knock Fuji over . . . at the end of the chain reaction, only Ryuzaki sensei, Tezuka and Oishi were left standing.
As they tried to regain their dignity and composure, peals of laughter came from nearby. When they all turned to look at who was laughing at them, they saw a petite boy standing near the courts, laughing so hard he was almost bent over.
Noticing that they were all looking at him, Kazura immediately stopped laughing. "Sorry for laughing so hard. But you guys looked really funny," he said with a grin, walking into the tennis courts while talking.
"And who might you be?" asked Tezuka.
"I believe I'm your new manager Takezato Kazura. Please call me Kazura."
End of chapter :P ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yay! Chapter 2 is now completed. This was longer because I suppose inspiration just surged through me. Anyway hope you like it. Please review to let me know what you think. Actually the twist I mention isn't in this chapter because it got kind of long so I'm saving it for chapter 3. This chapter had a lot more narration so I hope you didn't find it boring . . . let me know if you did so I can improve on that in Chapter 3. Well, enough rambling . . . Thanks for reading :P
