What! Why!
Taki was still as everyone cheared. "You scared the shit out of me." She said getting up slowly and saw her hands shaking. Then she noticed that her mp3 player was at the side of the court smashed. "Shinji no baka!" She shouted and everyone went quiet.
"Taki No!" her friends shouted as they jumped the railings and grabbed onto her.
"What the hell." her teammates and the others said and Shinji went behind Akira.
"You shouldn't have been listening to it anyway." Shinji said and Akira elbowed him.
"Shut up Shinji." Akira said and went to the player. "What was he listening to any way?" He asked the other girls.
"Fudomine Chuu's CD that we made." His sister said and he went pail, as did the others on his team.
"No way you have to be joking." They said and the girls shook their heads. "We thought we burned all the copies that you made?"
"Not the one that he had." The girls said then Taki relaxed when Tezuka came up to her and picked her up from the girls' hold.
"They'll replace it." He said and the guys on the Fudomine team gasped. "Won't you."
"Those songs were never suppose to even exist Tezuka. Our sisters recorded them one time we all went out." They said but Tezuka glared at them. "Fine some how we'll get one remade. By the way we're going to need a list of what songs that were on it."
"Oh I have the list on my computer at home." Mizu said and her brother glared at her.
"Come on you've got the shakes." Tezuka said and took her off the courts to where Oishi was waiting with their water bottles.
"Here drink this." Oishi said as Tezuka placed Taki down in front of him. "That was a really close match Tezuka." He said as Taki drank the water.
"It's been a while since we've played doubles." Was all Tezuka could have said.
"Is your shoulder alright after throwing her like that?" Fuji asked coming up to them.
"It's fine." Tezuka said and rolled it.
"Good because you're not going to like what I'm going to say." Ryoma said coming up to them with the things Sumire wanted fixed for the next match. "Here read this then brace yourselves for what I'm going to tell you." He said and the two read once done they looked at him. "The next team you're facing is Rikkia." He said and the other all shrugged their shoulders.
"We've beat them before so what?" Kikumaru said but Echizen shook his head.
"That doesn't matter. Since Tezuka isn't playing as a Single they changed their line up as well. Their Captain and Vice Captain have paired up to face Tezuka and Ryuzaki. They are the Top Demon players at Rikkai." He said and they all looked at Taki who rubbed her head.
"It's been a while since we've played against those two hasn't it." She said to Tezuka and he leaned in her. "What is it like four years since we've played them." She said and he thought.
"No it's more like five." He said and then she shook her head.
"Really that long?"
"Yeah and back then their team didn't have Kirihara Akaya yet. And you were still in Elemenatry School." He said and she smiled.
"This isn't going to be fun is it." She said and he shook his head. "They've gotten stronger haven't they." He nodded. "And since it's Rikkai and Seigaku there are going to be more reporters and people watching right?" They all nodded. "Just great." She said and then walked away.
"Hey Ryuzaki?"
"No let Ryuzaki be." Tezuka said and they all went back to watching the other match.
'What the hell am I going to do now. This is going to send me over the edge. I can't even consentrate on a full match and they want me to play against Yukimura and Sanada.' She thought to heself as she went to sit in the shade. 'Ne why can't I just forget about it.' She drifted to sleep with her hat covering her face. – Standing in the rain was a girl with her tennis racquet. The rain was coming down like cats and dogs. Reportser were everywhere watching the match. She was up against a highschool kid. He looked so familiar that she couldn't think strait. They only needed one more point to end the game and it was in his favor. He served the ball and it rocketted strait for her unfortunately for her she saw more then one ball so she couldn't do much about it. It slammed right into her wrist, which pushed her arm up to her head hitting her face. The girl went flying backwards. The reporters wildly took pictures as she hit the ground hard. The last thing the girl saw before the world went dark was her apponents smirk and his voice saying that she wasn't worth his time. – "Shit." She said sitting up and noticed the guys on her team around her.
"You alright?" Fuji asked and she rubbed her wrist.
"Yeah I'm fine." She said and then looked towards the Rikkai team that was seated under another set of trees. She froze when she saw the person in her dreams. He was now the coach of the team. "Oh I think I'm going to be sick." She said leaning back and placed her head onto Tezuka's lap.
"You're shaking and you're sweating what the hell is wrong?" Tezuka said and she rapped her arms around his waist. "Taki?" He felt tears on him and pulled her up onto his lap and held her close to him as the reast of the school team went around them to block other schools from seeing this.
"My heads racing…my heart won't stop pounding…Why…why…why is he here…"
"Who are you talking about Taki?" Tezuka asked as he tried to look into her eyes.
"The guy with the Rikkai team?" She whispered.
"That's Yui he's their coach Taki. He's also related to Ayaka. That's Kirihara Yui his oldest brother." Tezuka said and she shivered. "What's wrong Taki?"
"Well well what a surprise." A voice said over everyone elses as their schoolmates let some of the Rikkai team pass them. "It's been a while now hasn't it my dear Taki."
"What are you doing Yui?" Ayaka asked his brother.
"Just checking in on my girl here." Yui said and everyone looked at him. "So Taki aren't you going to give me a hug." He said and she glared at him as she got up. He smercked as she came up to him. He was expecting her to give him a hug but he got a slap in the face instead. "Oh come on Taki I know you can hit harder then that."
"You son of a bitch!" She shouted as tears came down her face. She lunged for him but Tezuka and Fuji grabbed onto her.
"I think it's time for you to leave Yui." Ayaka said surprised that his brother had made the girl burst into tears.
"If the slap you gave me is the extent of your playing skills just quit now." Yui said and walked away.
"Taki?" Yukimura and Sanada said coming up to her as she clung to Tezuka. "Sweet heart he's gone now." Yukimura said and she looked at him. "It's been years since that match. I'm sorry you had to see him again like this." He said and she crumbled. "We'll wait till she composes her self before we start our match." He said and the Rikkai team left.
Suddenly she was pulled away from the others not knowing what was going on. She looked up to see Tezuka and Fuji pulling her away from all the people there. "What the hell was that about?" Fuji said when they were in the bus in the parking lot.
"How the hell am I suppose to know?" Tezuka said and looked at him. "I'm just as clueless about this just as you are."
"Taki what was that about?" Fuji said looking down at her. Tezuka took her glasses that were now drenched with tears. "How the hell do you know Kirihara Yui?"
"My parents got me a touter after you all went into senior high. It was Yui. And since he was on his last year of senior high he also helped me practice playing tennis. We got close. Then one day we find out that our parents had set up and match between the two of us since they didn't like how close we were." She whispered and closed her eyes as she leaned back in her seat. "We stopped practicing with each other but we did got out with eachother. Our parents never knew. The night before the match we went out like we usualy did. But this time he had other plans. We had gotten into an argument about it as he was driving me home. In the fighting we had done something to my wrist. By the time I got home that night I wanted to kill him." She said clenching her fists. "The next day when we arrived at the courts both our schools were there to watch. That is Seigaku's Junior High and Rikkai's Senior High as well as reporters from television stations and papers as well as magesense. The match was horrible that I can't forget it. It was the first time I ever got injured. And I couldn't believe who injured me. My wrist broke that day. And I stopped playing for a while. But the thing that hurt the most was what he said to me when I was about to pass out." She said and tears dripped onto her clenched fists. "He smercked at me as I lay on the court in pain and said that I wasn't worth his time at all. That was the last time I saw him. Yukimura and Sanada were already on his school team so they stayed to make sure I was all right. That's why they know about this." She said then opened her eyes.
"Why didn't you tell us when we started to work with you again?" Fuji demanded for the first time in his life. He looked like he wanted to hit her at the point.
"Syusuke calm down." Tezuka said and Fuji glared at him.
"Calm down! You want me to Calm down!"
