Disclaimer: I don't own The Prince of Tennis just The Prince's Entourage and I'm getting tired of writing disclaimers..

Whispers followed me everywhere the next day of school.

"Why do I feel like their talking about me?" I asked Nile, who was walking next to me.

"Cause they probably are talking about you." I

punched his arm lightly, "That's not helping."

"Well, since when did my answers become helpful?"

I glared at him. "What? I was just telling you the truth."

A piece of paper stuck onto one of the bulletin boards caught my attention. I reached up a hand and tore it down, "'A Certain New Student is a Dirty Player'" I read out loud. I quickly scanned through the rest of the article and my hand clenched into a fist, crumpling up the paper into a little ball. "So that's it." I mumbled. I threw the wad of paper into a nearby recycling bin and picked up my pace.

"Well if that's the way they want to play." Nile trailed after me, a worried expression on his face. "Yuki, you're not going to do anything drastic are you?" I smiled at him, "of course not." Nile shuddered.

I smiled at the pile of papers in front of me, "Finished." I announced.

"Hm? What is that Yuki?" Reese asked, looking over my shoulder,

"A new song." I said, and my smile grew brighter.

"Here are the requirements for the effects we're going to need." I said, handing Reese a sheet of paper, he quickly scanned it and quirked an eyebrow, "Live performance?"

"Yup. I got permission to host a small concert in the gym." Reese hurried away to his own corner to ponder over how to get the effects in at the right time.

"Hey Stev! Nile! Here are your scores!" I called, throwing two sheets of paper into the air. Two arms simultaneously shot out and grabbed one. "Blade's." I placed the page onto Blade's head as he passed by, threw a sheet at Kuro, and another at Riku. "New song." I said with each sheet I handed out. The band quickly looked them over and smiled, "Sweet." One of them said out loud. I couldn't help but agree quietly.

"What do you think this is for?"

People were whispering as they filed into seats set up in the gym, the only space big enough for what was planned.

"Some sort of event I guess. That's what I heard."

"Hey everyone!" I called out, into the mike.

The crowd instantly looked at me with raised eyes.

"The Prince's Entourage had some spare time so we decided to host a concert for the people of our school free of charge. Any new songs you hear will never travel past the limits of the school grounds so I hope you enjoy it and let's have some fun!"

Some of the people actually ended up cheering as red lights pinpointed the stage and the music began. The rest of the band rose up from trapdoors in the ground, playing. Then we went through a list of our old songs before we came to the song I had written,

"This is dedicated to that person in the crowd, and you know who you are." I said before starting. The song was up-beat and fast paced,

"If you can't stand the heat then get out of the kitchen, were words that my dad would say to me when I screwed up. So I say them to you. Get out. If you can't stand the competition. And you can't play it fair. Get out. Get out. Get out!! (you'll just lose if you don't) My dad was right. So I toughened up. How bout you? What will you do? Besides…get out. Get out. Get out!! (you know you'll lose…)"

As I continued singing I could see the one girl's face turning redder and redder as she got angrier and angrier.

And then…"Shut up!" She shouted. The band stopped playing and everyone stared at her. She got out of her seat and rushed at me. I took a step back, "You b--!" She yelled and tackled me to the floor.

"B-Blade!" I yelled, trying to get the crazed girl off of me.

As soon as the name left my mouth the girl was lifted off of me by a very pissed off looking Blade,

"Don't touch her." He said, warningly. "Yuki…are you alright?"

I tried to sit up and winced. "Yuki!" Nile and Stev rushed over while Riku went to find the school nurse. Nile helped me up,

"…oh my…"

I looked and almost wished I hadn't. I had somehow managed to get a deep gash on my arm and it was bleeding and on the same arm the wrist was busted. And if you're wondering why I hadn't felt the pain?

It's called delayed reaction. "Ahh!" I screamed and clutched my shoulder, unable to touch my arm or wrist. I collapsed to my knees.

"Blade…let go of her…" I whispered, tears streaming down my face. Blade immediately let go and rushed over to my side,

"Yuki. Stay with me Yuki." I nodded feebly,

I heard feet pounding on the stage and then a set of arms wrapped around me,

"Yuki-chan…let me see your arm." I sighed upon hearing Chouta's voice, "I can't move it." I said. Chouta didn't reply. He took my hand and slowly lifted it.

"Ah!" I whimpered. "Shh…" Chouta took a sharp intake of air,

"Alright, You have to stand so we can see if there is anything else that's hurt. I'll help alright?" I nodded.

I leaned heavily against Chouta as we stood up together. And from that you can guess that there was more damage,

"Blade!" I heard Nile and Stev call simultaneously as the two boys grabbed onto the enraged Blade at the same time. I didn't even want to look to see the extent of the damage, "You won't be able to walk like that." Chouta said and promptly picked me up, "Don't!" I struggled half-heartedly, "You'll get your uniform bloodstained."

"That doesn't matter now."
