VERY IMPORTANT NOTE

Ok, as you all know, school is starting (hooray...). I just wanted to let you people know that I won't be updating as often; stupid homework and stupid teachers... You get what I mean, right? I'll try and update at least every two weeks, and maybe even earlier, but don't blame me if I end up updating in a few months. I'm sorry...and I'm sure this goes the same for every other author, right? So...yeah.

Oh, and can you please read what I have to say at the bottom? Thanks,

Ukyou-Taisuke

"Ah, Ryoma! I have a favor to ask of you." Ryuzaki-sensei spoke, facing the older twin.

Ryoma turned around with a bored expression on his face. "What?"

Ryuzaki-sensei twitched. This rude brat... "Well, Sakuno needs some help with her form; maybe you could give her some tips tomorrow?"

Ryoma shrugged. "Sure."

"Normally, I'd ask Ukyou to do it, but since she needs her rest, I have no choice but to ask you."

"You could've asked the other team members..." Ryoma pointed out bluntly, trying not to push it so he wouldn't lose his position.

"Yes, but you seem to be one of the only people who act familiar with her." She reasoned.

Ryoma let out an exaggerated sigh on purpose. "Fine, whatever."

"You're a big help, Ryoma. And how's Ukyou doing...?" she asked hesitantly. She'd witnessed Ukyou's tantrum when school was over and it was time for club activities.

"I had to threaten her, but it was all good."

-

"I AM NOT GOING HOME!" Ukyou shrieked again, her face pale.

"Yes you are." Ryoma pointed in the direction of their house. "Home. Now."

"No!"

Ryoma sighed. "You need the rest."

"Rest, shmest, I don't care! Why can't I play too?" Ukyou whined, unaware of the team members, including Rikkai, staring at the two.

Ryoma was at the last resort. "If you don't go home right now, I swear that I'll shave Karupin bald."

Ukyou froze and stared at Ryoma in horror. "You wouldn't!" she hissed.

Ryoma smirked. That got her. "Try me," he taunted.

Ukyou scrunched her face up in distaste, but she ran off, yelling, "I'LL BE BACK!" at the top of her lungs.

-

And hopefully, she won't... Ryoma thought, tipping his cap down.

"I see... Well, how long is she going to stay at home?"

"As long as 'Kaa-san and Nanako-san can stand her ripping up pillows and her cursing. Once they've had enough, she can come back." He said this as if it were nothing.

Ryuzaki-sensei blinked in shock. "Well, tell them 'good luck' for me." And she walked away.

-

-

"Evil...evil...Ryo..." Ukyou muttered, stabbing her cushion. She didn't want to give Nanako and Rinko much trouble, so she only took one pillow to torture. And here she was, a fruit knife in her right hand, stabbing her own cushion to its death.

"First, he bans me from using the left hand...then he tells me to 'go home and rest'! What kind of awful brother is he?!" she spoke to herself, stabbing it a few more times.

Karupin was sitting beside her, watching the fluff of the pillow fly into the air as Ukyou took the knife out. His eyes darted back and forth, and his tail twitched in anticipation.

As Ukyou stood up to put the knife away, Karupin pounced on the pillow, making more of the fluff poof out, and he jumped around in happiness.

"Karu, what're you doing?" Ukyou came back into the room, staring at Karupin pouncing on pieces of fluff.

He stared at her, temporarily pausing his game, and meowed before continuing to chase the flying fluff pieces.

Ukyou stared at him, confused. "How do you find that fun?"

Karupin meowed again and resumed his pouncing.

Ukyou sighed. "Well, you're a cat, and I'm human, so I guess each species has its own way of having fun."

"Meow."

"Yeah, I guess."

"Meow."

"...No, Karu. Humans are smarter."

"Meow meow!"

"Yes they are!"

Karupin, who knew everything his owner was saying, meowed in protest.

And as for Ukyou, who didn't understand a thing her cat was trying to say, she made up all of Karupin's responses. So technically, she was talking to herself.

Ryoma shuddered.

Eiji glomped him, noticing his sudden action. "Nya...what's wrong, Ochibi?"

Ryoma shook his head. "I just had a strange feeling."

This time, his team members and Rikkai were listening as well. "About what?"

"That my sister is doing something incredibly stupid."

"...Huh?"

Marui frowned. "But isn't she always doing something stupid? It's one of her characteristics. She's either doing something stupid, or she's saying something really stupid!" he pointed out. "But I sorta like her like that; she wouldn't be the same if she weren't weird!"

Fuji chuckled. "That's true...Ukyou-chan is a strange person, but she can be a decent person when she wants to."

Tezuka grunted and added, "When she wants to? I'd say she does it unconsciously; she doesn't know when she's being weird, or when she's being nice."

"I think she's pretty interesting...not everyone sneaks into a hospital room, swipes the doctor's coat, puts it on, and starts dancing." Yukimura recalled, a smile plastered on his face.

Everyone stared at him. "What?"

"Oh...never mind then."

Tezuka interrupted the conversation. "Alright, that's enough! Let's get back to practicing."

"Hai!"

The next da –

"I WANNA COME TOO!" Ukyou screamed, waking the whole household.

As you can clearly see, Ukyou is almost the exact opposite of her twin brother, even though they are twins.

Rinko stumbled into the kitchen, finding her two children standing face to face in a heated argument. "Ukyou, Ryoma, is everything alright?"

"NO IT ISN'T!"

"It's fine, Mom."

Rinko looked back and forth between the two and yawned. "Can the two of you not wake the entire house for once?"

"Sorry..." the two said in unison.

And as their mother left, Ukyou hissed at her brother again, "I. Want. To. Come. Too. Why'd Ryuzaki-sensei tell you and not me?" she whined.

"Because you still need to rest; I'm only going to train Ryuzaki. The younger one," he added.

Ukyou blinked a few times before smiling slyly. "Heh...so it's a date? Hm...a tennis date, huh?"

"Ukyou, shut up."

"Fine! I won't spy on you today. You probably need your privacy..." she snickered.

"I said, shut up."

"Yeah, yeah! Have fun on your date!"

"Ukyou?"

"Mhm?"

"I will shave Karu bald."

"Ok, and out you go! I'm not saying anything anymore! Out!"

And he was shoved outside.

"Bend your knees and look at the ball, not at the ground."

"H-hai... Whoops!" Sakuno squeaked, accidently hitting the ball too hard. Ryoma caught it in his left hand and examined the newly bought ball.

He fumbled with it in his hands and came upon a small drawing. Of a boy. It was drawn chibi-style, so he couldn't tell who it was. He growled, instantly become somewhat jealous. "Who's this on your ball?"

Sakuno looked up at him. "Eh?" She walked towards him so she could see what he saw. Then she blinked in surprise.

"Well?" Ryoma pressed.

"Um...Ryoma-kun...it's you." Sakuno pointed out in slight surprise. "See? There's the hat...and your hair..."

Ryoma stood there, inwardly shocked at this realization.

"W-well, who else does it look like?" Sakuno giggled.

He looked away. "Start practicing again." He said softly.

"H-hai, hai!"

Ok, for the second important note:

I just read some REALLY good PoT stories by XxMichyBabyxX and she's not getting much nice reviews! I really recommend her stories; they're full of fluffiness, and I luff them! So can you please review her stories? They're not getting enough love... Also, no flames; I don't think she'd like those...

Ok! Reviewers get cupcakes this time! YAY! xD
