Sorry it took so long. My brain just couldn't come up with anything (my bad).

Thanks to everyone for their reviews

I will keep up the work.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot.

Here's the next chapter. Enjoy!


Chapter 3 - The Trainer

Recap: 'His tennis sense may rival that of Fuji-sempai!' once again silence ensueded them followed by a burst of 'EHHHH!'

Now: "No way! So he's a tensai like Fuji-sempai?" asked the ever so questionable Momo.

"Yep, he plays it like it was chess." replied Ryoma as the regulars stared in awe of the apparent tensai, oly to find him giving them a glare cold enough to send shivers down their spines.

Ryoma smirked. Practice went on as normal, practice matches, exercises and so on.

'CLAP,CLAP' "Gather round everyone!" ordered Ryoma-buchou. "next week, we have the intra-school rankings in hopes of finding the perfect regular team. As you all know First years cannot compete unless told otherwise." Echizen explained. Many groans could be heard as this was said.

"First years will clear all equipment away. Dismissed!" ordered Ryoma.


The next day

"People, gather round." Ryoma said.

"you all are probably wondering why Ryuzaki-sensei is not in today am I right?"

Many people nodded.

"well I got a phone call this morning stating that she had fallen ill and was taken to the hospital." informed Ryoma.

"however! I have luckily contacted a brilliant trainer that will get the job done." Ryoma turned and smirked.

"Come on in!" he said as a tall person came in the courts wearing rectangular glasses with thick black hair. Many second and third years paled at the sight of him (with the exception of Ryoma, Izumi and Makota). It was going to be a long week. The said person mumbled "ii data." a sudden burst sweept through the courts.

"INUI-SEMPAI!" screamed the second and third years.

"Hello Inui-sempai, thanks for coming on such short notice." thanked Ryoma.

"No, it's my pleasure." Inui responded.

"Ok, as you can see, Inui-sempai has kindly agreed to help us in our training. For those who don't know him he was a regular on our team last year." explained Ryoma.

"Ok, for today continue with your usual practice so Inui-sempai can come up with a training menu."

"Hai!" with that, everyone went off to do as they had been told.

Inui turned to the regulars " As for you, I have a training regime all ready for you." he said with an evil smirk on his face. " you will run 10 laps, each under one minute. Anyone that takes any longer, well you know what happens and for those who don't, you will find out." Everyone paled except for Ryoma and Izumi for they had no interest and makota because he only just started.

"Do your best!" said Ryoma as he turned around to sit on the bench. "Echizen-buchou, aren't you joining us?" asked Momo.

"Oh no, I have so much paper work to do before Ryuzaki-sensei comes back so I might as well start now. Sorry!" he said as he turned around smirking.

"That's no fair, Inui-sempai say something!" Momo pleaded.

"There's 60% chance he's telling the truth, 30% chance it's a lie and 10% chance it's a lie." Inui explained. "Sorry, but I can not do anything for you, he's the captain after all." the regulars groaned.

Five minutes later all the regulars but Ryoma were all in their ready positions.

"On the count of 3, I will blow my whistle and you will start." Inui explained.

"3,2,1, GO!" as he blew the whistle the regulars sprinted for their lives except for Makota who didn't know what would happen if he lost but he decided to keep up with them any way.

After 9 laps they all began sprinting even faster as they saw the pitcher full of Inui juice sitting on the bench. On the last stretch of the run, they tried to overtake each other resulting in what seemed to be a tie, however….

" Makota-kun you lost by 1mm, therefore you must drink my new juice. I call it heavens treat." puling out a bluish-white drink in a huge pitcher.

The others wanted to hurl at the sight of Inui's new invention. They felt sorry for Makota for being it's first victim.

"It doesn't look too bad. It's only a drink" said Makota as he took the pitcher and drank it. They were awaiting his reaction when he said " This is pretty nice."

They stared at him with surprised looks.

'Another Fuji' they all thought when the side affects kicked in. Makota seemed to cover his mouth, he started to turn blue when he sprinted to the fountain to hurl.

The Devil is back.


What will happen next?

Will they survive training?
