Ch 4: Blind Prophet?
The sound of hard breathing filled the air as the two opponents continueously returns the green ball with yellow linings back to each other. The short boy was holding his ground against one of the regular members of the Saigaku Team of the school. The spectators watched with intense gaze and whispering among themselves asking about the short boy. It seems no one knows a thing about this player, they only know that he isn't one to be pushed around.

"15-Love" The umpire called out and Kaidoh was to serve again. He hissed before the serve and smirk sending the ball flying at Narito. The boy seized the oportunity of the power pact ball and gripped his racquet tightly, bringing it back, slightly crouching with his left toes pointing towards the other side of the court. His eyes weren't looking up at the ball, instead, they were looking at the green carpet.

"What the? What kind of stand is that?" someone in the crowd said, and the others wondered the same thing.

"EEEEHHHHHHHHH! Nani Desca!" Hirio said as he rased toward the fence, he had just came from court A, after watching the match between Oishi and Fuji. He decided to not wait for the out come and check the other courst out. When he came upon court B, he heard people were talking about a strange stand so he had to check for himself, being an experienced tennis player that he is, or like to think he is.

"What what?" Comes Fuuko and Sakuno along with Mizuno and Kato. They all squeased through and stood next to Horio.

"Ne Hori... Do you know what kind of playing style is that?" Kato asked looking over to his friend.

"Of...Of course... Hahaha... I know everything about tennis, so of course I know..." Hori said with a laugh.

"The only thing you know is how to miss the ball.." Fuuko adds in while Sakuno pulled on her sleeve.

"Take that back!" Horio exclaimed with a pink shade accross his face..


"I haven't seen that stand for quiet a while now..." Inoue said and snapped a couple of pictures. Saori looked over to her coworker and then snaped pictures of her own.

"How can he know where the ball is without looking Inoue-san" She asked while still snapping pictures.

"It's a really strange way to play, but, it works somehow. It was said that a great female player used it, but she never went pro. But I've only witness this when I traveled to America, for the Junior Devision Championship. If I remembered correctly, it was a girl who played like that." Inoue looked at the short boy and studied him closely.

"EHHHHHHH! A girl?" Mizuno, Horio, and Sato asked in unison.

"Yes. A girl, she only entered one competition though, and she quit during the semi finals. It was of unknown reason, but the Junior Division never saw her enter another game again. I would've liked to see that girl play Eichizen..." Inoue said with his head looking to the ground and his hand cuffing his chin, as if he's in deep thoughts.

"At any rate, this technique is called Blind Prophet." He said glancing up for a few moment before looking back down.

"How does it work?"

"I have yet to figure that out... I've only seen it once, during the semi finals of that girl and when we took a brief intermission, announcement came up and said the girl forfeited. Maybe I'll be able to gather more information after this..." He said finally looking up and watched the game.

Narito closed off any other sound beside the one noise he wanted to search for. When the ball bounced, landing on the carpet with a thud. He dashed over to where the sound emitted and sliced the ball as it slight bouced upward. The impact turned the ball twirling over to Kaidoh. The ball seems to be just like any regular bal returned. He hit it back with no difficulties.

"It's just another hit? Nothing happened..."

"Wait for another two returns" Inoue said as he studies Narito.

Again, Narito used the same technique and Kaido returned the ball without even having to try. As he returns the third ball that Narito hit using the same technique, he felt the ball rotation wasn't in his control. Before the ball even hit the racquet, Narito was standing there, infront of the service line on the right side of the fore court with a smirk, looking at Kaidoh. He hissed at the boy staring at him. The ball came the direction that Narito had predicted it would and he returns it, sending it to the far left corner, where Kaidoh was standing at the far right. The game went on as Narito seems to have the advantage over Kaidoh, predicting every ball.

"Game, Set. 4-5." The umpire called out. The game was in favor of Kaidoh, and it was once again Kaidoh's turn to serve. The face off seemed endless as the two kept scoring on each other. There was a game where the deuce was longer than a set game itself. Narito chased up when Kaido was ahead by 5 games and Narito had since caught up with him. It was dragging longer than many other games combine.

"So.. How's Kaido doing?" A guy with a smile walked over to where Inui was standing with his pen and notebook. Fuji's calm exterior could fool anyone into thinking he just came from home, instead of just finishing a game with Oishi. The two watched with interest in finding out more about this new player.

"I think Kaido will win... Based on the information I have and the training that I have told him to do.. He should be able to defeat Narito." The next few games, Kaidoh used his famous Snake, which didn't work, so he used boomerang snake and that was what got his the last point to win the set and advances on to face Kawamura Takashi.

"My... That was fun, ne?" He smiled at his teamate, his eyes never opened.

"Mada mada dane..." Came from behind and Eichizen walked up to them.

"You think so too, Ryoma?" Fuji turned to face the approaching Ryoma and turned back to the court.

"Cheeeah... I lost... Great game..." Narito looked over to his opponent with a smile and stretched out his hand over the net. Kaido just looked at him and walked off. Narito stuck his tounge out at Kaido and walked off the court too.


- End Try Out -

"Alright, everyone did a good job..." Ryuzaki-sensei said while holding onto a clip board. Everyone seemed exhausted, even the regular team members minus a few, and the new boy didn't seems too tired out. They all sat on the court to listen to the list of people who made the team.

"I'm sorry I made that announcement earlier about needing two new members, it seems that the directors changed their minds about it at the last minute, so Seigaku will only have it's regular eight members team.

"Oishi Syuchiro, Fuji Syusuke, Kikamaru Eiji, Kawamura Takashi, Momoshiro Takeshi, Kaidoh Kaoru, and Eichizen Ryoma. You have all made the team, congradulation..." Ryuxaki-sensei finished the names and it left many people puzzled by it.

"Boucho?" Oishi said looking over to Tezuka. Who was clearing his throat and stood up after sensei walked aside.

"I'm leaving for Germany, in two days." He said pushing his glasses back up, looking at his fellow students.

"I trust that you all will not dissapoint me, or you will be running more laps than you can count." He finished his speech and stepped aside, letting sensei have the floor once again.

"Narito? Please come with me to my office..." She said before dissmissing everyone. The group disperse, leaving only those who made the cut behind along with, Inoue, Shiba, Fuuko, Sakuno, Horio, Kato, and Mizuno. Who stayed behind to congradulate their friends and interviews and take pictures.

Narito complide with the coach's wish and followed her, gathering his stuff with him right after she walked off. He didn't seem to be noticed by others as they leave from the try outs. The members of the club was dead tire anyways. He walked silently behind the teacher like he was in trouble and kept the silence to think about an explanation. The two enters Ryuzaki-sensei's office and she sat down.

"Well... You must already know why I called you here..." She started off and Narito nods.

"I already have a punishment for your actions, Sasaki Nari-san."
