Chapter 2 - Reflecting In A Bath
Thanks to GothicCinnamon and MyPrinceOishi08 for the reviews!
I'm afraid that I might not be able to update again this week, since my mum isn't very well, but hopefully it won't stop me.
Disclaimer: I do NOTown Prince Of Tennis, I wish I did, but I don't... also, since I've never seen the inside of Fuji's house, I'm making this up as i go.

Mere seconds after Tezuka finished speaking, he left the locker room, leaving Fuji on his own to mull things over. 10 minutes passed like hours as Fuji's thoughts whirled around in his head. Why do I have to train her? he thought, as one by one the other regulars trooped in to get changed and go home for the day, Why not get Eiji to do it, or better yet, Tezuka could do it himself... No, he couldn't, he doesn't have the time to focus on just oner person, he's got the rest of the team to deal with... Oh well, best make a good impresion tonight then... Tezuka wouldn't forgive me if I don't. Fuji stood up and walked over to the bench on the back wall. He grabbed his bag, slung it over his shoulder and walked out of the changing room, not bothering to get changed. Once outside, he walked over to the tennis court wall and picked up his racket. Quickly, he slipped the bag off of his shoulder, unzipped it and slid the racket inside.
"Fuji-Senpai, a-are you ok?" asked a quiet voice from behind him, instantly recognisable as Sakuno, "You seem a little sad." Fuji zipped up his bag and put it back over his shoulder, before putting on a smile and turning to speak to his Kouhai.
"I'm alright Saa-Chan," he said, sounding cheery, while inside, he was still mulling over the fact that he had to train the new kid, "I'm just thinking about a few very important things, that's all."
"O-ok then," she stammered, nervous as always, "Do you know where R-ryoma-Kun is?"
"Hai, he's just getting changed," Fuji replied, turning towards the school gates, "He shouldn't take very long." With that, the sadist started walking home.
FF 15 - 20 minutes
At half past five, Fuji pulled out his house key and put it in the lock, turning it and pushing the door at the same time. The door swung open and he stepped inside, pulling his key out of the door and closing it at the same time. He took off his shoes and sat his bag by the door, before walking into the living area. There was no sign of his parent anywhere, as usual. He shook his head once and walked along the back of the living area to the corridor. He walked in silence to the door at the end of the corridor, and opened it.
It was his bedroom, he stepped in and closed the door behind him. He walked over to the left side of the room, where a CD player sat on a table under a window, it was still on. He looked out the window as he hit the play button, the CD he wanted was already in it. It was a mixed CD, one with ony 8 songs on, the first one being Through Glass by Stone Sour. It started to play and Fuji turned it up. On the back wall, was another door, which was already open. It lead to a bathroom, He walked in, closing the door behind him.
I think I'll go for a bath... he thought, taking 3 long strides over to the bath and turning on the hot tap, letting a cascade of water flood into the bath as he put the plug in, and then tipping in a generous amount of bubble bath, I need to unwind before I do anything else... Wait a sec... He walked back over to the door and half opened it, letting the claming music come through the gap. He sighed once and walked back over to the bath, turning the cold tap on since the hot tap had already half filled the bath. When the bath was ready, he turned the taps off. Quickly, he removed his clothing and sat it on a chair at the end of the bath. Quietly, he slid into the bath, and lay back to mull things over. It was six O'clock by the time he got into the bath
I get the feeling that training this girl will not be a simple task,he thought, the hot warte soothing his muscles, I'm willing to try, but there has to be something different about this girl to make Tezuka-Kun and Coach Ryuzaki accept her onto the boys tennis team... Perhaps she's the same kind of player as me... Then again, maybe not... However, I won't know for sure until I ask her, so, that's another reason to go tonight... This one though took nearly 20 minutes.
"Damn it... It's twenty past six already..." he mumbled, sitting up quickly and grabbing the shampoo of the side of the bath. It took him less than 5 minutes to wash his hair. He got out quickly , grabbed a towel and put it round his waist. "I'm going to get eaten alive by coach Ryuzaki if I'm late..." He quickly dried himself and put his regulars uniform back on, only pausing to use some deodorant. He glanced at his clock, "Twenty to seven... Oh boy, I'm going to have to run..." Fuji bolted through the house, stopping at the door just long enough to put his shoes on. He ran out the hous just as his parents pulled up. "Can't stop mum!" he called, "I'm late!" With that he increased his speed, he was determined to make it on time.
