-In class-
I stumbled upon...
A HORDE OF FAN-GIRLS! How do I describe this? Hm...heart-eyes, drool, blushing, squeals, and, ah yes, the many screams of 'AZU-KUN/SAMA!" Boy, I backed away and bumped into Tezuka. He looked down on me...'He's damn tall.' Well, he pushed me off and walked to his desk... leaving me with those insane girls about to strangle me to their pits called The Love Pit of Doom. Lame, I know but what other way can you describe it? I had to think fast. 'A window, desk, chair, board, teacher, boys, chair...TEACHER!!'
I practically hid behind my teacher. She's a nice teacher. Looking over her shoulder, I saw the girls sitting in their desks staring at me after they saw Sensei's glare.
"Now, Azu-san. I think you can get to your desk. Mina-san, please behave yourself! Or it's detention for a month."
"Arigatou Sensei." I flashed her a charming smile, making her a bit flustered or whatever. The girls sighed, dreamily. I didn't see, since I was walking away to my desk. Behind Tezuka. 'He left me with those rabid dogs!'
-After HELL/Classes. Onward to After-school!-
"Everyone. Gather up! This weekend is the first matches in the Kanto Tournament. I want you to practice hard for the remaining week, but be careful not to injure yourself!" Ryuuzaki encouragingly said.
"HAI!"
'Kanto...Tournament?'
"Regulars, practice in Court A & B. Sophomores, Court C & D. Freshmen, prepare to retrieve the balls. Iko!"
"HAI!"
-Ryoma Pov-
"KIDDO!! Play a practice match with me!" She inwardly smiled at me.
"Iie." I had a smirk on.
"Nande?" She questioned me all the while poking my head. (Why?)
"...Che...mada mada da ne." I was annoyed at the poking.
"Baka. Mada mada ssune. Not me." She teased me towards no end. (Idiot, you are still not there yet.)
"...Hai." I am not going to let this slide by, Nee-chan.
"YOSH!" 'He fell for it.'
'Nee-chan is too...-'
"Quit dreaming kiddo. MATCH. NOW." She smiled widely...no...evilly.
"Hn. Rough or smooth?"
"Smooth." I spun my racket. Well, what do you know? Rough.
"Rough. Too bad, Azu."
"Keh, good luck in this match. I'll show you my new twist serve."
'New serve?' I thought.
I tilted my hat down and stared at her.
"Mada mada da ne."
"Oh, put a sock in it." She smirked. I glared at Azu as she kept staring me down.
"Well! EIJI-KUN BE OUR REF!"
"NYAH. OKAY!" We walked onto the court.
"One set match. Echizen vs. Echizen. Ochibi to serve!"
I got ready to serve and did my Twist serve. Just as the ball bounced toward her face, she leaned back and smack it back at me. I ran to the left and tried to return it. It had a lot of power in it. "Hyah!" I managed to return it to the corner. She didn't even run, instead she pivoted! 'Tezuka zone!?' The ball curved to her just like Buchou!
"0-15."
Again, I tried to use my Twist serve. It just wouldn't work. There! A lob. A chance. I smashed it on the left court. Uso! One of Fuji-sempai's Triple Counters! The ball fell behind me on the line and rolled away. "Too bad Kiddo. I know all of your plays. Let's see if you will overcome this." I glared at her, sweating a bit.
-B2U-
'Kiddo. This is the only way you will grow.'
"0-30."
He served a regular one. I returned it right at his racket. I inwardly smirked. Just as he made contact, the ball lost all power and fell onto his court. Dead. "Dead Return Ace." He stared at the ball and looked up at me.
"Mada mada da ne, Ryo-chan."
"Nyah. 0-45." Eiji excitedly watched the match between 2 siblings.
-Momoshiro Pov-
Uso. The same ace he used on Buchou. I can't compete with that, I just can't. C'mon Echizen. (No way.)
"I forfeit." O.O!
"ECHIZEN! WHAT YOU MEAN YOU FORFEIT!?" He pulled down his hat and walked away from the court. I looked at Azu. He looked mad and then turned his head me. A harsh glare. I squeaked a bit and ran off after Ryoma. Why did Echizen just leave that match?
-Fuji Pov-
Saa, this is very unexpected. I turned to look at Buchou and he seemed to be thinking deeply. He turned around and left. I stared back at Azu, eyes opened. A person to look out for. I left to practice with Taka-san.
-Eiji Pov-
"NYAH! Why did Ochibi leave? Oishi!! What's wrong with Ochibi-chan?" I ask Oishi with my chesire? cat look.
"I-I don't know Eiji." I pouted and smiled, cheekily.
"Nyah! It'll be okay! Let's practice."
"Hai." It was a weak reply.
"Daijoubu-ka, Oishi?"
"Ah..." Though, Oishi looked worried.
-B2U-
'Stupid Ryo-kun. Didn't even get to show him my new serve. He didn't bring out his potential.' I glared at his back and left to the empty changing room. I changed and swung my tennis bag onto my back, leaving the practice early.
"Where are you going? Practice is not over."
"Maa, I need to practice elsewhere."
"Practice with me then." I turned around and looked at Tezuka. Stoic as ever.
"Iie. You're better off healing. Not swinging."
He set his eyes on mine. A staring contest. I have been getting those lately. I gave a curt nod and wave, then I walked away.
"You will owe me 30 laps tomorrow morning."
"Hai, Buchou."
-Momo Pov-
O.O BUCHOU let Azu off early!
"Eiji-sempai, Eiji-sempai! Buchou let Azu-sempai off early."
"Nyah. What a lucky guy."
"Hm...we should follow him!"
"Nyah! That's a great plan. Iko!"
Eiji and I dragged Ryoma to follow Azu-sempai.
"Why am I going along with this!?"
"Shhh, Echizen. Don't let him hear you."
"Mada mada da ne, sempai-taichi." I looked at Echizen; he seemed 'a bit' interested although regretting something. We stalked off a few feet behind.
What will happen next? Hm...5 R&R FOR THE NEXT
