Just some Fun
Chapter 2
(i do not own any of the Prince of Tennis characters(no matter how much i wish i did))
Mei was sitting on a bench outside, waiting for Ryoma to change so he could show her to class.
"Hey Mei-san!" the energetic Eiji came up to her.
"Hi, Eiji-sempai," Mei replied.
"Oh, Ochibi said he'll be out soon, Nya!" Eiji said.
"Arigato for telling me," Mei gave Eiji a smile, "Gomen for making all of you to run laps," she looked down at her hands.
"Don't worry about it Mei-san," Eiji sat down next to her, "Tezuka-san has been a bit touchy lately, and doesn't really like non-scheduled matches. Also, he went easy on us with only 10 laps," Eiji laughed. "Oh yeah, that one return move, that was really cool!" Mei blushed, "How'd you do it?"
"Practice," Mei joked.
"Interesting," A voice behind the two said.
"Eep!" both Mei and Eiji were startled with the sudden voice.
"Fujiko!" Eiji wined, "Don't scare us! And what's interesting?"
"The move you were talking about," Fuji stated, "I've seen it somewhere."
"So have I," a tall kid with black hair and thick glasses, "I think a tennis player from the states used it."
"Oh Mei-san, this is Inui Sadaharu. He collets data to play tennis," Eiji informed Mei.
"I guess you want to know where I learned that move." Mei smied, "I guess I could tell you. My sensei, in the states, showed it to me. He's a retired pro and an old friend of my fathers. Anything else you need to know?"
"That's interesting," Inui said and started scribbling something down in a notebook that he had.
"Mei, come on," Ryoma yelled just coming out of the changing room. "We have to get to homeroom."
"Coming Ryo-kun!" Mei yelled back. "See you guys later." She got up from the bench and ran off towards Ryoma, just as the warning bell rang.
"We gotta get going to, Nya!" Eiji said getting up and heading off toward the school.
After School.
"Public school is so much more interesting than being home schooled." Mei said a bit happy.
"Oi Echizen!" a brown haired boy yelled. Up close you could see his unibrow.
"Hi Ryoma-kun!" another boy came up; he had black hair said and came up with another boy, who also had black hair.
"We have pratice now," The one with the unibrow said, "Hey, Mei-san, are you going to hang out around the courts during the practice?"
"I think I will," Mei smiled, "What are your guy's names again?"
"My name is Horio Satoshi," the unibrow kid said proudly.
"I'm Kato Kachiro," said the black haired boy, who said hi to Ryoma, he bowed.
"And my name is Mizuno Katsuo," the third boy, he had black hair that was buzzed.
"All freshmen I suppose," Mei smiled, "I mostly say that because you guys are in a few of my classes."
"Yup, all freshmen here," Kachiro said.
"Well that's cool; we better get going to the courts," Mei said, "you guys don't want to run laps for being late? Oh, by the way, I apologies for making you run laps this morning."
"Don't worry about it Mei-san," Kachiro said, he turned around and headed toward the courts, the rest followed.
"Wow," Horio said, "You and Ryoma-san are really different. At first you'd think you both would act the same because you both look the same," they were walking, "As for me, I don't think Ryoma-san could be like Mei-san, mostly cause Mei-san seems like a very happy person, and well very different from Ryoma-san."
"Heh, really? You'd think that," Mei said.
"Oh! Mei-san!' Horio said suddenly, not hearing what Mei said, "Can you show me how to do the really cool return move you did?"
"Sure!," Mei smiled, "First show me two back flips."
"Nani?!" Horio looked at Mei as if she was crazy, "you have to do the two back flips?"
"Well you don't have to, but it makes the move as awesome as it is. Without it, it wouldn't look as cool, and would look weird without it." Mei said, "So if you can't do those two back flips, then I won't show it to you," Mei smiled, "Oh you also have to be left handed."
"Aww.. Come on," Horio wined.
"We have to go change now," Kachiro reminded the others, half way to the courts.
"Alright," Mei said, "I'll just head down to the courts." They nodded and left to go change. Mei made it to the courts and noticed Fuji was there already practicing. She decided to run up.
"Konichiwa Fuji-sempai!" Mei yelled as she entered the courts.
"Hello, Mei-san," Fuji gave her a smile.
"You sure change fast," Mei joked, returning Fuji's smile.
"I don't have a class for my final period" Fuji said, "so I usually just come down here."
"Of course you would," Mei laughed, "As a Seigaku regular, it's kind of obvious that you would come here for some extra practice."
"Mei-chan!" Mei turned around just in time to see the energetic red head, Eiji glomp her.
"Ah!" was all Mei got out as she and Eiji went to the ground.
"Wow Mei-chan! You're really unstable," Eiji said laughing.
"Get off of me," Mei said, Eiji complied and got up.
"Are you alright, Mei-san?" Fuji came over and helped Mei up from the ground.
"I'm fine, Arigato," Mei replied, giving Fuji a grateful smile, "I'm not unstable, Eiji-sempai! You completely caught me off guard," Mei said sticking her tongue out at him.
"Alright, Alright," Eiji held his hands up in surrender, "I'm sorry for glomping you."
"I don't forgive you," Mei said turning away from Eiji, and crossed her arms, trying not to smile.
"Awwww…" Eiji wined, "Why, Mei-chan?"
"Why should I?" Mei said, still facing away from Eiji.
"Aww…" Eiji pouted, "Come on, please don't ignore me, Nya!" Eiji kept trying to get Mei to look at him by walking around her, but Mei just kept turning away from him. Fuji just laughed. "Fujiko help me please, it's not funny," Eiji pouted.
"Mei-san please stop messing with Eiji," Fuji said calmly, Mei just broke out laughing. Eiji became confused.
"Gomen, Eiji-sempai," Mei said as she stopped laughing, "I'm not mad at you, and you can hug me if you want."
"That was mean," Eiji pouted, "pretending to be mad at me."
"Aww… I'm sorry," Mei walked up to the redhead, "don't be said, Eiji-sempai."
"Will you call me Eiji?" he looked at Mei, "just Eiji?"
"Will it make you forgive me?" Mei asked.
"Yes, I'll forgive you, if you do." Eiji smiled.
"Alright, Eiji," Mei smiled back. Eiji glomped her again, and this time she didn't fall over. "Alright, I want to get out of the way before everyone arrives," Mei laughed. A bunch of the freshmen and juniors already entered the courts. "Mostly before Tezuka-sempai. I don't want anyone to get in trouble again." Eiji laughed and let go of Mei.
"You can sit over here!" Eiji said as he pulled Mei over to a bench, Fuji just followed. Eiji let go of Mei's hand and pulled a bag off of one of the benches, "Here you go, Nya!"
"Umm… Whose bag is that?" Mei said, worried.
"Don't worry about it," Eiji said and neatly slid the bag underneath the bench, "It's mine." He gave her Mei a smile.
"Oh, alright," Mei sat down on the bench and began to go through her bag, searching, "Ah!" she said and pulled out a small sketch book from the bag.
"You draw, Mei-san?" Fuji asked.
"Yeah," Mei said, "But today was a first in a long time that I have, I was bored in class."
"Can I see?!" Eiji asked excitedly.
"Um…" Mei blushed, "They aren't good," She slowly handed Eiji her sketchbook. Eiji began to flip though the book as Fuji looked over his shoulder.
"Wow!" Eiji said, "It's me! It's really good, and there's one of Fujiko and Tezuka-bucho, and one of everyone else," Mei kept her head down to hide her bright red face.
"It kind of helps me remember names and eventually I will put some notes on each page, you know things about them." Mei said still looking down.
"Hm… Interesting," Fuji said, "Your art, Mei-san, is very good."
"Arigato, Fuji-sempai!" Mei said, finally looking up at the tensai.
"Fuji! Eiji! Come on, Time for practice!" Oishi yelled, just arriving at the courts.
"At least Tezuka-bucho didn't arrive with Oishi-chan," Eiji said smiling, "Coming!" he yelled back to Oishi. He turned back to Mei and said, "Watch this, Mei-chan!" Taking a running start he did two front flips and a somersault in the air.
"Not bad, Eiji!" Mei stood up from the bench she was sitting on and then copied him, "But I can do it too," she looked toward Eiji challengingly. Eiji went to do something harder but was interrupted by Oishi, "Eiji not now!"
"Aww…" Eiji wined, but complied with Oishi. Mei went back to the bench. Fuji handed her back her sketch book, and followed Eiji to practice. Mei sat down and opened her book to an empty page
