P.O.T Next Generation Chapter 2

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PRINCE OF TENNIS.

"Rae, Minato, it's almost time for school, hurry up!" Sakuno called out. It was another morning in the Echizen household, and no they are not living in a temple! "I'll be surprised if they can even get up." Ryoma commented while reading his tennis magazine at the table. (Guess who's on the cover). Sakuno giggled, "They get that from you, Ryoma." She was about to serve the eggs until tripped on a flat surface and the eggs fell on top of him. "Oh, Ryoma, are you alright?" she fussed. Ryoma didn't say anything; he grabbed her arm, pulled her to him and kissed her. (He can be such a romantic).

"Aaah," Minato dropped his bag after and blushed after accidently witnessing the romantic scene. "Mina, you really have bad timing," Rae commented, walking down the stairs, "Mom, make sure you look before you walk." Minato and Sakuno blushed even redder than before. 'It's so cute to see them like this.' Ryoma smiled slightly, "I'm surprised you're wearing the girls uniform Rae, you hate wearing skirts." he teased (anyone think spending time with Fuji was a bad idea?). Rae frowned (read: pout). She was wearing the same uniform her mom wore when she was in middle school while Minato wore Ryoma's, funny how their measurements are the same as their parents.

"We should probably get to school." Minato said while getting their lunches from Sakuno while Rae grabbed the bags. "I'm just glad that we're in the same class."

"Why's that?"

"Because, I can make sure those girls don't take advantage of how frail you are." she smirked. "Rae! I'm not frail!" Minato blushed scarlet.

"Alright you two," Ryoma stood up with an amused smile on his face, "get in the car, it's about time for school."

"How is it that you can lose the directions to the classroom in less than five minutes?" Minato whined. They were at school and Rae somehow managed to lose the map of the school. "I don't know, maybe I lost it when I was saving you from getting caught by those girl after the ceremony." she snapped.

Minato started to tear up (Really he looks like Ryoma but the personality is totally different). "I'm sorry nee-san." he cried. Rae sighed, taking out a handkerchief too wipe away his tears. "Look, I memorized the class number; we can ask one of the upperclassmen for directions, okay?" Minato nodded and gave of a smile that can make a girl feel all floaty. 'How come I can't seem to feel that he's able to protect himself?'

(Fifteen minutes later.)

"You know nee-san, if stopped glaring at people than maybe we can get someone to at least come close to us." he suggested. "Hey! You're the girl from the tennis courts yesterday." a voice exclaimed. The two of them turned around and saw a girl with long teal hair that passed the back and indigo eyes, she was holding books on management. Rae blinked and said, "Who're you ?" Minato then fell anime style. 'She just had to inherit dad's bad memory of people's faces.'

"She's the ex-girlfriend of the guy you faced yesterday." he exclaimed. "Oh," she palmed her fist, you're that weird girl." Minato once again fell down. "How rude, my name is Emma Yukimura and I'll have you know that I'm an 8th grader." she pouted.

"I'm really sorry sempai," Minato bowed, "nee-san mostly stays with first impressions until proven wrong-" Rae hit him on the head and passed out.

"Can you tell us where to find class 1-C?" she asked with a straight face. "Y-yeah , just go straight down the hall and take a right, it's the fourth door on the left." she directed, eyes on the passed out Minato. "Thanks." Rae then dragged Minato by the collar to the class room, to receive their warning.

During the break a few girls went to twin's desk. "Is it okay if we asked you something?" one of the girls asked. "Yeah, what is it?" Minato answered. "Are you two related in some way?" she pointed to Rae who was sitting on the right of him. "Yeah we're twins, my name is Minato Echizen and this is my nee-san Rae."

"Hey, what happened to your guys' right hands?" one of them asked. Both of them have bandages on where their birth marks are. "We injured ourselves before school started." they said simultaneously.

After the girls left Minato gat up saying he was going to the bathroom, "Be careful Mina." she warned. "I will and stop calling me Mina."

Minato finally found the bathroom and was about to go in until a voice stopped him. "Well, well, looks like we found another pretty boy, guys." a group of guys walked towards him. "Think we should put him in his place Teru?" one of them asked. The leader smirked evilly; he had blond brown hair and forest green eyes. "Better do it now than later." The entire group started closing in on him, getting rid of any escape routes. 'Oh man, now I really wish I had some athletic ability, at least enough to run fast.' Minato panicked.

"What is going on here?" The boys around and saw Ryoma with his arms crossed in front of his chest giving them his signature glare.

"Sensei."

"I want all you to get to class, now." he ordered. The boys immediately scattered like beetles. "Except you, Teru; it's only the first day and your already causing problem. Go to the principal's office, we'll talk later." Teru grunted and left, glaring at Minato.

"Trouble seems to follow you, huh Mina." Ryoma ruffled his hair. "Dad who was that?" Mina asked. "That was Teru Hikage, an 8th grader; he's been causing trouble ever since he first set foot in the school. I'd be careful if I were you."

When Minato finally got back to class he found himself face to face with a very upset Rae. "Mina," she started, "what is going on; I felt a very panicked emotion coming from you."

"I'm sorry nee-san," he cried, "I was about to go in the bathroom until some guys cornered me, I don't what could've happened if dad didn't show up."

Rae sighed and took out her handkerchief, "Look, from now I just want you be a little bit more careful." she said softly. Minato nodded tears still in his eyes. "Your just as trouble proned as dad was."

(In the principal's office)

"Ahchoo!"

"Is something wrong Echizen?" the principal asked the sneezing adult.

"Nothing's wrong sir."

(Back to where we were)

"Your right." Minato chuckled. The two were oblivious to the stares the received.

School ended, Rae and Minato were headed to the courts.

"Nee-san, are you sure about this?" he asked. "Of course I'm sure Mina, the inter gender tennis tournament is about to start and, I for one, do not want to be left out." she answered while pumping a fist. 'She doesn't realize she's just as trouble proned as Me.' he thought.

Five minutes later they reached the courts only to see them empty. "Where is everybody?"

"Practice was cancelled due to the fact that the equipment is getting old." a boy answered.

"Wish dad could've told us." she pouted. "I think he did on the car ride here, but we were half asleep to listen." Minato elaborated. "Is your dad by any chance the coach here?" the boy asked. "Who wants to know?" Rae said with eyes closed. "I'm Kaname Horio, 8th grade."

"Sorry sempai," Minato bowed, "My name is Minato Echizen and this is my nee-san Rae and yes, Ryoma Echizen is our dad." he smiled until Rae punched him. "This is the exact same reason your always being targeted, your just like mom." she scolded while he fell on his knees laughing a bit.

"You know you guys are really strange." Kaname commented. "We get that a lot." they smiled.
