Chapter 3- Join The Team
Anna woke up with the sun on her face. She looked up at the clock by her bed and gasped.
"Oh god, I'm late!" She yelled, almost rolling off the bed. She rushed to the closet and pulled out whatever was closest to her and rushed to the bathroom to change and brush up. After that, she rushed downstairs to the kitchen with her book-bag dragged after her. Tamao was already up and so was Pirika... Or at least she was. Anna found Pirika taking a small snooze halfway finishing her breakfast. Anna looked at Tamao who smiled and shrugged.
"She probably had some last minute cramming to do or something." Tamao told her as she shook Pirika. "Hey, wake up Pirika. You sleepy head, wake up!" Pirika lifted her head and yarned.
"Wow, its math class already?" She asked rubbing her eyes.
"No silly. We aren't in school yet." Tamao said with a giggle.
"Oh..." Pirika yarned again and walked to the sink and placed her bowl in the sink. She turned and noticed Anna. "Oh morning Anna." She said cheerfully. Anna smiled.
"Morning." She said and looked at the clock on the wall. "Ummm... Shouldn't we be leaving by now?" The girls looked at the clock and gasped. They all stampeded out of the house, almost forgetting to lock the doors.
Pirika let out a tired yarn again and put her head down.
"I am SOOOOOOO tired..." She yelled out.
"Like we aren't?" Pirika turned to head to see Matilda Matisse AKA Macchi and Marion Phauna AKA Mari standing in front of her.
"Oh..." Pirika yarned again. "Morning Macchi, Mari."
"Last minute cramming?" Macchi asked Pirika as she took a seat next to her. "I did some last minute cramming last night too."
"No she wasn't." Mari said as she giggled a little and took the seat left of Pirika. "Macchi was talking on the phone with Nich-Kun." Macchi's face turned a light shade of pink.
"Hey! You know, they invented rooms for a reason Mari. It's called privacy!" She said with a face. Pirika giggled. She and the girls knew Macchi had a huge crush on Nichrome. Ever since they met in elementary, Macchi has had an eye on him. She even followed him home for crying out loud!
"Either way... I am exhausted." Pirika mumbled as she put her head down again. Just then, the door slid open and Horo Horo and Ren walked in.
"Wa! Morning everyone!" Horo yelled. All the girls said good morning and smiled. Horo Horo and Ren were one of the most popular guys in school, besides Hao and Yoh. They were both on the beach volley ball team as well and most girls join the beach volley ball team just to get a glimpse of them... Or at least try to since you have to have skill to join.
"Pirika! Wake up! You can't sleep in class!" Horo shook his sister who was getting annoyed. "Pirika! Wake up!"
"Onii-Chan! Shut it and let me sleep!" Pirika yelled at Horo who froze. "Class starts in 3 minutes so let me sleep!" Pirika turned to Ren and her face softened.
"Ren-Kun! Ohaiyo." She said cheerfully.
"Hey! You say morning to him and not me? I'm your own brother!" Horo yelled pointing at Ren who smirked.
"Ren-Kun was not the one who woke me up!" Pirika yelled. The door slid open again and the teacher walked in with books in his hands. Pirika glared at Horo.
"Thanks A LOT Onii-Chan. Now I just lost whatever I have left of sleep. You'll pay for that." She muttered angrily and sat down. Horo gulped. That didn't sound good. Ren let out a small chuckle.
"Better run Horo. She's pretty quick on her feet. Remember, she beat you in track by 2 minutes." He told Horo as he walked to him seat. Horo made a mocking face as he walked to his seat.
"Thanks a lot Onii-Chan." He said in a mocking voice.
"I heard that Onii-Chan!" Pirika yelled as she threw the black board eraser at his head.
"Ok settle down now everyone." The teacher said putting his books down on the table. "We have a few things to cover today but before that..." The teacher sighed with annoyance. "We have to take the attendance." He muttered. The class pretty much knows what's coming next but stayed quiet anyway.
"This is very annoying. Takes away class time." The teacher muttered.
"But Mr. Hankins. How will you know if anyone is skipping or not? That is what the attendance is for you know." A student called out.
"True but I know exactly who's skipping right now." Mr. Hankins said looking around the classroom. "As usual, the Asakura brothers aren't here." The girls in the class moaned with disappointment. Mr. Hankins lifted his hand and silenced the class. Ooooo, good control eh? "Anyway, you know what to do when I call out your names, so let's just cut to the chase. Stella."
"Here!" A girl yelled out.
"Ephraim." Mr. Hankins read on.
"Sup!" A boy from the middle row yelled out.
The teacher ignored his comment and continued down the list. "Alex."
"Here." A girl in the front row called out.
"Harry."
"Holla." A boy in the back roll yelled out doing it quick 'Sup' wave at the teacher.
"Well you're going to holla your way to a 55 if you keep it up." The teacher told him. The class burst out in laughing. In their school, 55 is a failing grade for their report cards but luckily, so far, no one came that close to a 55. The teacher told the class to settle down and continued taking the attendance.
"Mari."
"Hai." Mari said in a quiet voice.
"Matti."
"That's Macchi to you!" Macchi yelled out pointing to the teacher.
"Yes, yes. Now where was I?" The teacher looked down at his attendance sheet. The door slid opened and the Asakura twins walked in. A few girls gasped and most started cheering, happy that they were here. Yoh gave them a lazy smile and Hao smirked and nodded at them. So many fans!
"Well, well. Look who decided to show up for class. It's the Asakura twins." The teacher said looking at Yoh and Hao. "What is it this time boys? You both saw your soul mates and had to run after her for her number?" Yoh laughed.
"Not this time." He told the teacher. "But I did get a few numbers and email addresses. And a few girls wanted Aniki's signature." The class snickered.
"Enough, you are just in time for class now please sit down." Mr. Hankins said looking back down at the attendance sheet. Yoh nodded and he and Hao walked to their seats. Girls around them lifted up signs that read "L-O-V-E M-E! ASAKURA TWINS!" and "ASAKURA TWINS! WE LOVE YOU!" and "ASAKURA TWINS! LOVE FOREVER!" Yoh smiled at the signs. So many fans! The teacher rolled his eyes and continued down his list.
"Pirika." He called out. Pirika didn't answer because she snoozed off again. Luckily, Macchi nudged her and woke her up.
"Huh? Oh here!" Pirika yelled lifting her head up.
"Sleep time was oh so many hours ago Pirika. Please stay awake." Mr. Hankins said as he looked back down on his list.
"Hmm... Who's next? Oh yes. Horo, Ren."
"Here!" Horo yelled out. Ren who sat behind him just rolled his eyes and said a mere here.
"Hmmm... The Asakura twins are here..." Mr. Hankins mumbled to himself. "Jeanne?"
"Here." They all turned to the door to see a girl with long pale silver hair walking in breathlessly. "Sorry, I am late. But I had to go to the office this morning." She told the teacher.
"That's alright. Please take your seat Jeanne." Mr. Hankins looked back down on his list as Jeanne nodded and walked to her seat.
"Hmmm... We have a new student today." Mr. Hankins said looking at the note on his desk. "Anna... Kyoyama?" He looked around the room but didn't seem any unfamiliar faces.
"Here." They all turned yet again and saw Anna and Tamao walking through the door.
"Mr. Hankins, we were at the office." Tamao explained handing him the pass. Mr. Hankins nodded.
"And you must be Anna." He looked at Anna and smiled. "Welcome. Now I must warn you, this class if very dangerous and can easily corrupt your brain so if they are disturbing you, please let me know." Anna smiled.
"Thanks, I'm sure I will." She told him.
"Anyway, I have to get going." Tamao said as she turned. "I'm late for class." Mr. Hankins nodded.
"Ummm, if you don't mind, the office gave me a pass to have a tour around campus." Anna said showing him the pass. "Do you mind if Pirika shows me around?" Pirika was after all the only one she knows there. Well besides Hao, Yoh, Ren and Horo but she liked it better if Pirika shows her around. Mr. Hankins shook his head.
"Sorry Anna. We are going to have a test so Pirika can't show you around." He told her. Anna blinked. Then who will? What happens if she gets lost!
"I'll show her around." They all turned to see Yoh stand up and smile. The teacher sighed.
"Why not Yoh... Half of the time you don't even show up to class and when you do show up to class, you fall asleep. Why do you even bother staying in school anyway?" He asked.
Yoh grinned.
"Because I love school." He told the teacher. The class snickered. Hao muttered a 'yah right' to Yoh who smiled sheepishly. "I do." The teacher smiled.
"You like school?" He asked and Yoh nodded. "Well you are going to stay here one year longer." The class cracked up at the comment. Even Anna could help but giggle a little. The teacher lifted his hand up and silenced the class.
"Very well Yoh. You may go show Anna around." He told Yoh who smiled and nodded.
"Sank you." Yoh said as he walked to the front of the room. "You aren't going to fail me and make me stay in the 9th grade again right?" He asked.
"You are already failing on your own Yoh." The teacher told him. "Now go before I change my mind."
Once outside the classroom, Yoh turned to Anna.
"That was fun right Anna?" He asked cheerfully. Anna just shrugged, trying real hard to hide her blush. He was cute, cute CUTE! She followed him around, looking here and there. She saw just about all the classes and rooms. Now it was time to explore the campus. She followed Yoh to the track field.
"That's where me and Aniki and the rest of the volley ball team practice beach volleyball." Yoh told her pointing to a beach volleyball court in the middle of the track field.
"Beach volleyball huh?" Anna walked into the sand and scooped up a handful of sand. "Reminds me more of the beach." Yoh laughed.
"I know. Sometimes, I just want to fall sleep on the warm sand but I can't because if I do, I'll get hit by a volleyball. Trust me, getting hit in the face by one hurt... A lot." He told her. Anna smiled. Yoh definitely had a good sense of humor... Well either that or it was his silliness. Yoh picked up a volleyball that was left behind and turned to Anna.
"Wanna learn how to play?" He asked her. Anna blinked. Her... Play beach volleyball? Oh no way! She knew the beach volleyball formula by heart. Beach volleyball death hell good bye world for Anna. "Come on. It's easy." Yoh took her hand and pulled her to the middle of the court. "Now, lift the ball up like this." He instructed, showing her a few serves.
After an hour of so of teaching, Anna sat down on the grass exhausted. Easy huh? Beach Volleyball was very tiring. Yoh plopped down next to her with a huge smile.
"You see? Not that hard right?" He asked her. Anna sighed.
"Not hard? You are a pro!" She pointed out to him. Yoh shrugged.
"Now but when I first started, I was a bit shaky just like you." He told her. Who wouldn't be?
Just then, the school bell rang. Anna and Yoh looked up to see the doors open and kids flooding out for their lunch period.
"Ah... Lunch time." Yoh said as he got up and brushed himself off of any sand still stuck on his shorts. He then turned to Anna with a smile and reached out his hand to her. Anna blinked and took his hand. Yoh helped her up and they both walked back to the school to meet the others for lunch.
"Ewww, this school lunch SUCKS!" Macchi yelled looking at the school lunch. "Does anyone have any money to spare poor little me?" Mari giggled.
"Macchi is so picky." She said as she sat down.
"Excuse me, but wasn't that you last week Mari who complained that your dolls were disarranged and that Chuck doesn't play Tea Party but plays House instead?" Macchi snapped back. Mari made a face.
"He does." She told Macchi.
"Who does? And does what?" The girls looked up to see Pirika and Tamao sitting down on their table.
"Oh nothing. Mari was just saying how I am picky." Macchi told them.
"Well you are." Pirika said nodding. "Just yesterday you-"
"Ok, ok. I get it. I'm picky. I can't help it ok? I hate this school lunch." Macchi interrupted her.
"Well who wouldn't? It's school lunch." Pirika said with a shrug. "And school lunch equals death AKA suicide." The girls nodded.
"So true. Now does anyone have money for poor little me?" Macchi asked again. The girls shook their heads.
"Sorry, I'm saving up for new boots." Pirika told Macchi.
"Sorry, I'm broke." Tamao said with a shrug.
"Mari wants to buy a new doll." Mari told Macchi who made a face.
"But you already have 25 dolls plus the 15 TY beanie babies and 3 Barbies." Macchi said counting out all the dolls Mari owns. "And don't forget that Malibu Barbie doll that broke because I sat on it..." Macchi gulped. "My ass still hurts because of it."
"Well you shouldn't have sat on it in the first place." Mari told Macchi.
"Dolls are easy to break and they are weak so it doesn't matter." Macchi said with a shrug.
"Hey, don't dis Malibu Barbie." Mari told her with a look.
"Whatever, who wants to go for ice cream?" Pirika asked getting up.
"Hey! I thought you said that you are saving up to buy new boots." Macchi said folding her arms.
"I am. But Onii-Chan isn't." Pirika said with a wink and rushed to Horo's table with the girls following behind her.
"Umm, heads up Horo. Pirika is coming." Yoh warned and pointed behind Horo who turned around in time to see Pirika running towards them.
"ONIIIIIIII-CHAAAAAAN!" Pirika yelled running towards him.
"What is it Pirika?" He asked annoyed.
"Can I have some money?" She asked him strait forward.
"Why do you need money? Don't you have?" Horo asked her. Pirika shook her head.
"I need to save up for new boots." She told him. Horo's mouth dropped.
"New boots! You just brought new ones last week!" He yelled at her.
"But those were black... And... I kinda dirtied them." She said nervously.
"What!" Horo yelled. "Pirika! You waist too much money!"
"I just want ice cream!" Pirika yelled back. "I can't believe you are so cheap!"
"Cheap! You are the one who is using up all our money and leaving me with none!" Horo yelled back. The girls caught up to them and watched them argue it out for a few minutes. Finally, Macchi and Mari started to lose their patience.
"Hey, just give her the money Horo." Macchi yelled out.
"Why don't you? You're her friend!" Horo yelled at her.
"But you are her brother! Family comes first!" Macchi yelled back.
"Exactly! So spare me some money!" Horo yelled.
"Just give her the money." Macchi said folding her arms.
"And what if I don't?" Horo asked. Macchi cocked an eye and a smirk appeared on her face. Mari had an evil smirk on her face ad Horo started to back away, knowing what they plan to do.
"We are going to jump you if you don't." Macchi told him. Horo gulped and looked at his "Friends" for help, only to find Yoh rolling an orange on the table and Hao no where to be found. Ren just folded his arms enjoying this scene so Horo was on his own. He turned and ran off and Macchi ran off after him with Mari and Tamao running after them. Ren laughed watching them chase down Horo and shook his head with pity.
"Horo could use a lesson or two in self defense." He said, to no one in particular.
"But that is what makes it so easy to pick on him." Pirika said happily but then frowned. "But I don't have any money to buy ice cream." She sighed. "Oh well, school lunch will have to do. Onii-Chan is so cheap." She turned to leave but Ren stopped her.
"Here." He said. "Just bring it back with at least a 20 in there you hear?" A small shade of pink appeared on his face as he handed her, his wallet. Pirika blinked.
"You mean..."
"Yes, now go buy your ice cream..." Ren told her, blush continued to appear on his face.
"Do you mind if I buy for the others too?" Pirika asked him.
"Yes, now just go..." Ren told her and looked away, hiding his blush. Pirika smiled and happily took his wallet.
"Oh thanks Ren-Kun! You are a life saver!" She yelled giving him a quick hug and a peck on the cheek before running off to find her friends. Ren face flushed as he watched her run off in silence. He heard a lazy laugh and turned around to see Yoh looked up at him.
"Ren is so nice!" He said with a smile. Ren blushed even harder.
"K-Kisama! Urusai!" He yelled at Yoh whop laughed.
"Who knew Ren could be soft like that." The boys looked up to see Hao smirking as usual. Ren face was beat red now. If Hao knew something, he can do a lot of damage. He could spread a rumor and the whole school would know in 5 minutes.
"K-Kisama!" Ren yelled.
"Oh don't worry." Hao said with a chuckle as he sat down. "I won't tell anyone that you softened up and that Pirika kissed you." Ren's face continued to redden as he glared at him.
"What's the catch?" He asked folding his arms. Hao shrugged.
"Still thinking of one." He told Ren.
"Ooo! Ooo! I know!" Yoh yelled out. "A dozen oranges for me!" He received blank stares and then a smack on the head from both.
"That meant nothing." Ren said as he sat down.
"Right..." Hao said with a smile. "We all know that you like her so calm down. It's nothing new." Ren's face reddened into a new shade of red that no one ever thought even existed.
"K-Kisama! Urusai!" He yelled.
"Hey! Anna!" Anna turned around to see Pirika running towards her. "Wanna come with us for ice cream?" Pirika asked as she caught her breath. Anna shrugged. Why not? They both rushed off to find the others and finally found them, still chasing after Horo. It was amazing. After eating so much, Horo and Macchi could still keep running. Maybe they should hold a contest on who's faster on track. The winner would win a year supply of instant noodles or something. Mari and Tamao had stopped chancing them and were sitting on the grass, watching them run.
"Hey, who's winning?" Pirika asked as she and Anna walked towards them.
"Horo I think." Tamao said watching them.
"Mari thinks Macchi is." Mari said, never letting her eyes drift away from them.
"And how much are you betting?" Pirika asked them.
"5 dollars." Mari simply told her. They watched Horo and Macchi run for a while with amusement. Horo tripped over a rock or something and fell.
"Ha! Got yah!" Macchi said running but she too, tripped over. She felt herself falling towards the ground but strong hands held her.
"Hey Macchi. Slow down. You are going to hurt yourself." Macchi blinked and looked up with a small gasp.
"N-Nichrome!" She said with a small blush appearing on her face. Mari got up and ran over to Macchi and Nichrome while Tamao and Pirika ran over to Horo.
"H-Horo-Horo-Kun! Daijoubu?" Tamao asked with a concerned face.
"Fine, fine." Horo mumbled as he got up and rubbed his head. "And please, no Kun. Just Horo is fine Tamao." Tamao blushed.
"H-Hai." She said with a small nod.
"Onii-Chan! You need to be more careful!" Pirika yelled at her brother.
"Well you have to hold onto Mattie's leash!" Horo yelled back at her.
"It's Macchi!" Macchi yelled stomping over to him. "And just for that, I'm going to jump you here and now!" Nichrome sighed watching them.
"Come on. What's this all about?" He asked.
"Horo's being cheap." Macchi said folding her arms.
"Am not! Pirika used up just about all our money!" Horo yelled pointing at Pirika who shook her head.
"No, I am saving money right now!" She yelled.
"And how much have you saved so far?" Horo asked.
"Ummm... 4 or 5 dollars?" Pirika said quietly.
"What!" Horo was about to burst.
"Calm down Onii-Chan!" Pirika yelled. "I am not going to waist your money."
"Who's money are you going to waste then?" Horo folded his arms.
"Ren-Kun's." Pirika said with a shrug.
"Ren! Ha! He'll never give you his wallet. He's a spoiled brat!" Horo said laughing. Pirika made a face.
"Well he did. And if you don't believe me, look." She held out Ren's wallet. They all looked at the wallet in her hands with wide eyes. The great Ren offers to treat Pirika for ice cream? This was something new!
"See? Now let's go before Lunch ends." Pirika said as she turned around and walked away. Tamao and Anna followed after her. Macchi folded her arms and looked at Horo with glaring eyes.
"You got lucky Horo-Chan. I'll get you next time." She said as she and Mari ran off.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Horo yelled.
"I still can't believe Ren gave you his wallet. What tactics did you use?" Macchi asked as they walked back to the school campus. "Let me guess. You told him that if he doesn't give you his wallet, you would yell out that he raped you." Pirika blushed and smacked Macchi on the arm.
"No!" She yelled.
"Then what?" Mari asked. "Mari wants to know that way when Mari can blackmail him." Pirika laughed.
"Well actually, I didn't ask him." She simply told them.
"What!" Macchi yelled out. "What do you mean? How did you get it from him? Oh Pirika, you naughty little girl go pit pocketing him." Pirika blushed and laughed.
"No, I didn't do that either." She told them. "I was about to turn and walk off when he stopped me and handed me his wallet."
"I don't believe you." Macchi said folding her arms. "Ren is definitely not that type of person." Mari nodded.
"Mari thinks you are lying." She said.
"I swear! I am not lying." Pirika yelled out.
"Well you are going to hell then because you must be." Macchi said nodding. "There is no way Ren is going soft." Mari nodded.
"Come on. Don't gang up on her now." Tamao said defending Pirika. "If she said that he gave it to her, he gave it to her."
"Hey, just because you are housemates, doesn't mean that you HAVE to defend her." Macchi told Tamao.
"There were no witnesses so you can't prove that he did Pirika. You could of just pretended to cry." Macchi told her and licked her ice cream.
"Guys, I am not lying. Really." Pirika told them.
"Whatever." Macchi muttered as the school bell rang. They all finished off their ice cream cones and headed off to class.
"Ah! School is over!" Pirika yelled throwing her fists in the air.
"Not for all of us." Tamao reminded her. "We still have to go to volleyball practice." Pirika made a face.
"Why don't we pretend that we are sick and had to go home?" She asked hopefully.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Anna told her.
"Why not?" Pirika blinked.
"Because A, your brother would probably tattle on you." She answered Pirika. "And B, we are already here." Pirika looked up to see that they were in the track field. Pirika sighed and looked at Anna.
"Well sorry Anna but me and Tamao have to leave you here all by yourself for an hour... If we are lucky that is." She said with a frown.
"How long is practice usually?" Anna asked.
"Anywhere from a half hour to 3 hours." Tamao told her.
"They can keep you that long?" Anna asked shocked. Tamao and Pirika nodded.
"I know, it's sad." Pirika said with a sniff and pretended to cry. They girls giggled a little and walked over to the bleaches to have a seat and wait for the coach to come. Most of the girl's volleyball team was there already there. The boys Volleyball team was starting to run track and doing stretches/warming up for practice. Pirika spotted Macchi and Mari at the top and they all rushed over to meet them.
"I hate it when we got practice." Macchi mumbled. "Takes away my free time."
"Tell me about it." Pirika mumbled as she and the others took a seat.
"Where's Kanna?" Tamao asked looking around for the High School senior that was no where to be found.
"No clue. Most of the time, she doesn't even show up for practice but they don't want to kick her off the volleyball team because she is one of our best players." Macchi said with a shrug. "Poor Anna has to sit through practice with us. How terrible." Anna laughed.
"Well, I can watch you guys play and maybe pick up some moves." She told her.
"You know how to play?" Tamao blinked. "You never told me you know how to play volleyball."
"Well I didn't know how to play until recently." Anna explained. The girls nodded.
"Well, hope you enjoy watching us play because there would be nothing else to do out here." Pirika told her.
"But if you are good enough, you might make it on the team!" Tamao said smiling. Anna smiled back but in the back of her head, she was yelled a "No Way!" at them. Someone blew a whistle and the all turned to see their coach walk towards them.
"Alright girls. Put your bags down and give me 50 suicides." He commanded. The girls all put their bags down and rushed off to the track field to do their suicides. The coach looked at Anna who was sitting on the bench alone, watching them.
"Hey you. Why are you not doing the suicides with the rest of the girls/" He asked. Anna blinked and looked around. He couldn't possibly be talking to her could he?
"I'm talking to you." Anna blinked. Oh yes he is.
"But I'm-"
"Being sick is no excuse. Now go and do your suicides before I make you do 70." The coach yelled. Anna gulped and nodded.
"Y-Yes sir..." She said quietly and she put her books and bag down and joined the others.
"Anna? Why are you doing suicides? Your not on the team." Tamao said looking at Anna.
"I know, but the coach told me to." Anna said as she and Tamao started running.
"Did you tell him that you aren't on the team?" Anna nodded.
"But he wouldn't listen to me." They bent over, touched the ground and ran back, touching the white line of the ground and repeated the same pattern.
"Well I guess he will know once we start playing." Tamao said with a shrug. Anna gulped. Playing... Joy...
After that exercise, Anna walked to the coach and tried to explain to him that she wasn't on the team but he wouldn't listen to her.
"You are just making up excuses now go join the others for practice." He told her. Anna looked at the others for help but didn't get much. They girls just shrugged.
"He'll find out sooner or later anyway." Pirika told Anna as she walked back to them.
"Yah..." Anna mumbled.
"Look at it this way, you get a free workout and a free beach volleyball lesson." Macchi told her cheerfully.
The coach blew his whistle again and walked towards them.
"Alright girls. It's time to practice. Get into your lines." He commanded as the girls separated into two lines. "Now you know the drills. When I hit the ball over to you guys, Line one will bunt it over to line two and line two, you will spike the ball back to me. Make sure your hands and the ball do not touch the net. Understood?" The girls nodded.
"Yes, Sir." They yelled. The couch nodded.
"Good, now let's begin!" He threw the ball up in the air and hit it over the net. Anna was starting to get nervous. She never played beach volleyball before. She did practice with Yoh but that was nothing! Here, she was going to die!
"It's ok. Just watched the others and do what they do." Tamao told her. She was pared up at Anna so Anna didn't feel as scared but she was still worried. "Don't be afraid of the ball." Anna nodded as she and Tamao approached the front of the line. The coach studied them for a while before serving the ball over the net.
"Hey, check it out. The girls are practicing." Horo said as he and the boys sat down on the bleachers for a break.
"I wonder who that new girl is." One of them muttered.
"I think her name is Anna." Another responded.
"She's cute."
"Tell me about it. Now that she is on the volleyball team, we can see her just about everyday."
"I wonder if she is single." Horo rolled his eyes. Anna was definitely single with the attitude she gave him the other day at the mall.
"Did you know anything about this Aniki?" Yoh looked at his older twin who shrugged. "I mean, aren't we in charge of adding members on the team?"
"That thought never came to me." Hao simply told him as he watched Anna walk up to the front of the line.
"She told me she never played before." Yoh said as he watched. "But she did play pretty good. But was pretty worn out."
"We'll see how she does." Hao said, never taking his eyes off Anna.
Anna gulped. It was now her turn to... bunt the ball or whatever you called it. The coach served the ball over the net and Anna paused for a second before running towards it, cupping her hands and bunted it over to Tamao who spiked it over the net.
"Very good." The coach nodded. Anna was shocked. She actually did it! She hit the ball! Well, bunted it but she did it! Tamao and the girls cheered for her, making her blush a little.
"Girls, girls, girls. I know teamwork are one of the most important rules but please, cheer later. You have practice to do." The coach told them and they settled down. After a half hour of practices, Anna finally got the hang of it. Volleyball was tiring but pretty fun... In a way, but it really hurts when it smacks onto your skin with such force. The coach blew the whistle again.
"Alright girls. Good work. Now go take a break." He told them. They all walked to the bleachers... Well except for Anna who pretty much dragged her feet there because she was so worn out.
"Oh god I need a rest." She muttered as she plopped down by her bag.
"Hey you didn't do that bad." Macchi told her as she pulled out her water bottle.
"Mari says that you are very good." Mari said with a smile. "You played better then Mari did when Mari first played." Anna placed her tired head on top of her book-bag and sighed.
"Yah right." She muttered.
"No, you played quiet well." The girls looked up to see the boys standing in front of them.
"Welcome to the team Anna." Yoh said with a smile. Anna blinked.
"But I-"
"We know that you weren't on the team but that's ok. You play good enough to be on the team." Yoh told her and turned to Hao. "Nah, Aniki?" Hao smiled and nodded.
"I'm impressed for someone who never played volleyball before, you played quiet well." Anna blushed and put her head down.
"Whatever." She muttered. "I'm exhausted."
"I know. That first time I played, Aniki and Horo had to drag me home." Yoh said with a laugh. The coach blew his whistle again. Dam! Doesn't he ever get tired of doing that?
"Alright you boys. Stop slacking off and flirting with the girls! You have plenty of time to do that after practice." He told them. The boys sighed and got up.
"Now you will see how bad Onii-Chan plays." Pirika said giggling.
"I heard that Pirika." Horo yelled. "And you play bad as well. How could you miss that first serve?" Pirika made a face and stuck out her tongue at him.
"Shut it Onii-Chan or else Macchi and I are going to jump you!" She threatened.
The boys did the same exercise as the girls did and Anna watched them carefully. Yoh and Hao were the best out of them all... Which is of course, was why they were the team captains. The coach did a tricky serve for Hao and Yoh. Hao quickly dove and smacked the ball up before falling into the sand as Yoh jumped and spiked the ball over the net. As Hao hit the sand, his shoulder kind of showed through the sleeve of the jersey and Anna gasped when she saw something she thought she'd never find. It was a red four leaf clover mark on Hao's right shoulder. Anna's eyes widened and she looked at Tamao who's eyes widened as well, clearly seeing what Anna was seeing so Anna wasn't seeing things. Anna turned back to see if the sun was playing tricks on her but it wasn't. Right before Hao got up, Anna saw the mark. Was Hao... Her true love?
Hmmm... I don't know. This ending kind of sucks. Anywayz, lookie here! I have made some pairing scenes lol. RenxPirika definitely. I added a YohxAnna scene here when he teaches her how to play volleyball and shows her around... I don't know how much YohxAnna that was or if there is any at all but I tried! There is not much to say. But next chapter is quiet interesting... At least I hope so because I am going to get Anna tangled up between the twins, not knowing who to choose and all... Well something like that... I just promise you that there will be YohxAnna and HaoxAnna moments! Reviews please! Along with any suggestions to make it better!
Anna231: Ah I am so sorry. I don't even know myself. I want to make it HaoxAnna but it might end as YohxAnna. I am not really sure YET. I said YET so calm down lol. There is just too much YohxAnna right now that's all. But I am planning to make it a spiral love fanfic so there WILL be spiral love lol.
Hannah-Asakura: There will be more nicknames on the way... Well maybe lol. I'm glad you like that part lol. And yes! Anna has fallen in love with Hao... But not only him. Yoh too!
Wild Stallion: Haha, you are going to enjoy slamming the door in someone's face. I tried that with my cousin. The slamming door part. Not no relationship or nothing lol.
Annafan: Haha, I'm not so sure about the kissing part yet. She isn't Hao's girlfriend or nothing right now. She just... got lucky and was accepted in the volleyball team. And if you have more advice, feel free to tell me! lol
