Aiko started serving them with tea and cookies, which her mother left her, the regulars were looking at some frames when Kirihara noticed something, "Aiko-chan who is the girl in the picture with you?" Kirihara asked, "She looks exactly like you" Niou commented, "Is she your twin?" Jackal asked breaking the ice. Sanada, Yukimura, Yanagi and Marui noticed the darkened expression of the girl. It seems like minutes have passed when Aiko answered, "Hai she is my twin sister" she said playing with her fingers. "Where is she?" Yagyu asked oblivious, the three demons already knew when they saw the darkened expression of the girl, Aiko opened her mouth when Marui caught her off. "Aika-chan… is uhm…" Marui said finding the right words, "Onee-chan is already dead" Aiko said looking up with sad eyes. "G-Gomen" Kirihara said while the others look at her. "It's fine, it's been three years since onee-chan left" she explained. Yukimura patted the girl's head, a sign of comfort, Niou, Marui and Kirihara smiled mischievously when…3…2….1….

The door flung open,

"CHIBUSUKE!" Ryoga said, noticing the other occupants of the room. "Ne chibusuke who are they?" he asked grinning from ear to ear. "Baka aniki can't you tell? Since you're slow they're my team mates" she said rolling her eyes. "What did you said chibusuke?" Ryoga asked and notices a red headed guy, "Oh candy boy still the same eh?" he said earning chuckles from the others. "My name is not candy boy Ryoga-san!" Marui said chewing on his bubble gum. "Nice seeing you Yukimura-kun" he said eyeing the bouchou of the team. The others started introducing themselves, "Okay I'll make this clear lay a hand on my chibusuke, you're all gonna suffer" Ryoga said with a cheeky grin. "ANIKI!" Aiko shouted.

The next day…

When Aiko was about to live the house, she saw a spider haired guy and a red headed guy. "What are you doing here?" Aiko asked eyeing the two of them. "Walking you to school" Kirihara said putting an arm on Aiko's shoulder. "Yep and now let's go" Marui said darting off with the two. The trio gathered some attention for Marui was popular among girls, Aiko was popular among boys and Kirihara uhm… let's say he is popular in some way.

"Oh there they are" Niou said pointing to the direction where the trio was, "Hmm… Aiko-chan seems to have a large fan club" Jackal said noticing the guys who just have nose bleeds when their kouhai pass. "Ohayo!" Kirihara greeted. "Ohayo" Marui and Aiko greeted too, which the others return with a nod. They have morning training, so they all darted to the court before Yukimura assigned them with laps. "I heard we have a new student coach from Mura" Niou said, while taking a break with the others. "A student coach?" Aiko asked, she and Kirihara just finished their hell of training. "Do you think he is good?" Marui joined the conversation together with his best friend Jackal, "If it's Yukimura then I guess that guy is good" Jackal said.

Sanada clapped his hands earning everyone's attention, "Everyone meet our new coach, Echizen Ryoga" then Ryoga entered with a cheeky grin on his face. "Aniki!" Aiko shouted running to their 'new coach'. "Oh hey chibusuke this is my surprise for you" Ryoga said squatting down to Aiko's level, Aiko angry for that action kicked Ryoga's knee and walked off like a boss to one of the courts. "Then play with me" Aiko challenged which Ryoga gladly accepted. Everyone gathered around the court and Yukimura was the referee.

"Which?" Aiko asked eyeing her happy go lucky brother.

"Rough as always!" he said smirking.

"Aniki, I swear I'm so gonna wipe off that smirk on your face" Aiko said when the racquet fall on smooth, Aiko's served.

"Ne Aiko, what's our score now?" Ryoga asked scratching his head. "71 all aniki" She said preparing to serve. "Oh then this would break the tie" he said waiting for his sister's serve.

"71 all?" Niou asked, "Ah yeah both of them likes to play matches when one is upping the other or if it's a draw" Marui explained eyeing Aiko's serve. "This is it, Aiko's twist serve" Kirihara said. Too bad Ryoga knows how to return the twist serve and hit it towards the baseline. Aiko knowing her brother returned that lame shot of his and ran to the net. Ryoga grinned, "Doing your net play Aiko?" Ryoga asked hitting the ball again. Aiko smirked; "Of course aniki" she said hitting a drop shot. Ryoga grunted he wasn't expecting this he was about to make a run for the ball but he was too late, earning Aiko a point. "15-love" Yukimura said.

The match went on for 30 minutes, 4-3 favor of Aiko; she was also playing with her dominant hand for Ryoga is just a handful. Finally the match ended after 45 minutes, 7-5, Aiko's win. "Che aniki I beat you" she said sticking her tongue out. "You just got lucky, A-I-K-O" Ryoga said ruffling Aiko's hair. "Ne Marui what about I play with you" Ryoga said pointing his racquet to Marui. "No way, I spare my life Ryoga-san!" Marui shouted from the side lines.

Lunch time…

Aiko was about to take her bento out when, Kirihara and Marui grabbed her from her seat. "Eh Bunta where are you taking me?" she asked confused and trying to wriggle out of their deathly grip. "You're gonna eat with us Aiko-chan so let's go" Kirihara said walking off to the school's garden where most of the tennis regulars were eating. Aiko shook her head and sit beside the empty seat which is beside Yukimura. They started eating peacefully, Kirihara and Marui was fighting because Kirihara thought Marui stole his stole his sushi when the truth it was Niou, Jackal and Yagyu were calming the two down and the three demons including Rika sweat dropped, when she thought an evil plan. "Ne want me to teach you a game?" Aiko asked with her innocent smile which Marui knows that it was bad. It kinda reminds him of Yukimura's eternal smile only Yukimura's was far creepier.

"Don't tell it's that game" Marui shivered just hearing the name of that game. "Hmm… what game?" Aiko asked innocently. Marui snickered, causing the others to be confused, "Fine let's play" Marui said sitting on the grass, the others followed his action and they form a circle. "Okay its simple" Aiko started explaining the rules leaving behind some things that she can use later.

Now you can see the tennis regulars arms forward, hands on top of each other like doing the a passing action. "Oh this would be fun" Marui commented, and Aiko started singing, "BC Apple, Lemon juice, Tell me the name of your first love" Marui was the last one who receive the past and he nearly groaned. Kirihara chuckled, Niou whistled, Yagyu and the three demons looks interested and Aiko was giggling. "Do I have to tell?" Marui asked sweating like crazy. "YES!" they all answered, 'Tell us' was chanting on their mind.

"Fine! It's Tiffany-chan, the girl I met in the U.S with Aiko and Aika" he said blushing. Aiko and Kirihara broke into laughter. "Okay fine you're out now Marui you can watch in the sidelines" Aiko said shoving the poor boy. "Okay let's do it again" Aiko said. After 5 minutes they found out that Kirihara's first kiss was a girl name Mika, Jackal never kissed a girl, Yagyu's first crush was Miyabi, their classmate, Sanada's type was a girl brim with energy, Yanagi's data was more important than girls, Niou likes a girl full with strategies and the final round was between their princess and bouchou. "Ne Aiko isn't the last pair going to hold and hands and flips it until the end of the song?" Marui asked. "Ah hai, I forgot and the hand that is on the bottom will answer the question" she said. "How about we will sing?" Niou said which cause Aiko to gulp. Yukimura holds Aiko's hands and the trio trouble makers started singing. "BC Apple, Lemon Juice, Tell me how you feel about holding each other's hand!" they shouted. All of them look at the pair and Aiko's hand was at the bottom. 'Damn it' she cursed feeling herself blush.

"Sooooo what's your answer Aiko-chan?" Kirihara asked wriggling his eye brows. Sanada was stoic as ever, Yanagi was waiting for the data, Marui, Niou and Jackal were staring at Aiko, and Yagyu has his eye brows raised while Yukimura looked at the cherry tomato girl.

Ring!

"Need to go" Aiko said darting off to her next class. "Oh I think she likes you Mura" Marui teased, which cause their captain to have a tint of a blush on his cheeks, how bad for him they all noticed. 'Damn it' Aiko continually scold herself. 'But what did I feel when I hold his hand?' she thought again and she blushed.
