Chapter 2: The Physical

HOTEL

As I enter the double door, the grand hall was greeting me with pleasure. It was decorated with jewelry and emerald on each and every furniture. The wallpaper look so delicate thin with flowery and purple-ish color .I check in at the receptionist, which was really complicated

"Hey, Can I have a room with a view to the pool and tennis court" I asked not so politely, glaring at the receptionist

"Do you have the money?" the receptionist asked with the same tone I gave the receptionist. I'm pretty sure she thought I was a boy and I want to mess this hotel up. Oh believe me I do, I hate that Li guy so much

"Who do you think I am?" I challenge the receptionist

Defeated, she tumble upon the computer in front of her and type in some number then turn to me " Room 224, Credit card or Cash?"

"Credit card"

"Enjoy your stay"

That was such an annoying receptionist.

My room had a beautiful view of the pool and the icky tennis court that the Tomoeda guy having a practice.

I'm hungry, I'll find something in the fridge to eat then take a little nap.

Zzz…zzz…zzz…

The sunlight of the afternoon shine through the window wake me up. I squinted a little then jolted up since I just remember the match I have with Li this afternoon. I never back down on my word and you know that.

I went to bathroom and put on a pair of Nike short, an Adidas shirt. I put in my shin guard that I wear for soccer practice. I put on my Fila cap then I went to the tennis court.

You might wondering why I'm wearing shin guard for Tennis, you'll find out at the match.

I arrived at 5:00pm sharp, there I see the Tennis group and Li.

" I see you show up, thought you chicken out" said Li

"Ready yet?" I challenge

"Bring it on"

We get on our stand. And for you who don't know, this is not a normal tennis match. We fight using martial arts skills that will apply to our racket.

"What are you guys doing?" asked the girl with long black hair that has been tie in a pony tail

I ignore the question and charge right straight at Li, I swung my racket, aiming for his face. He jump out of the way. I reach for a ball inside my pocket, I smash the ball aiming for his face. He return it, I block the ball out of my way and charge straight into him. I smash my racket onto his wrist. Li yelp out in pain and drop his racket.

"What are you guys doing?" said Daidouji "Stop it, you're hurting Li"

"Please" beg the others Tennis players

I ignored all the begging and ran straight to his racket but then Li uses his leg to kick my leg. Unfortunately for him, I was faster, I jump out of the way while smashing my racket on his head. The landing was rough but I complete it, I land with a samurai stance with two swords aka rackets. Li charge at me using all his martial art skills, he punch me in my tummy then kick my shin. Lucky me, I wear my shin guard so my leg is completely fine. I use one of the racket to defense myself and one other racket to attack Li. I smash my racket against Li's head but he uses his hand to block my attack. Li take the advantage of my hand, he took hold of it and throw me down.

"SAKURA" yelled Daidouji "Li Stop it!"

I recover quickly after the rough landing. By the way, who the hell gives permission to Daidouji to called me be my name, well… first name. I took the ball in my pocket and slam it against my racket which went directly to Li's face.

"LI, look out!" yelled one of the boy

Li duck. Just what I wanted, as he duck, I slide down and did a Drive B. But this time my racket is aiming for his wrist, I kick him hard in the shin then use my racket and slam it against his wrist.

"AHHHH!" yelped Li in pain

I took the opportunity to punch him in the tummy and, once again, I slam my racket upon his wrist.

"AHHHH!" Li yelled in pain

I pointed my racket toward his face as he lie helplessly with a broken wrist

"Giving up yet, Li?" I asked

The group of 'amateur' tennis players gasped in surprise, too shocked to move. I guess this is the first time they see the great Li got beaten by a girl.

"I give up!" Li finally said

I put my racket over my shoulder and said "Wise choice"

"You'll be the new captain of the team, I'm no good, just as ever" said Li

"Don't say that-" the tennis team started

"Yeah, they're right" I said "Don't say that, you have great potential, Li, you just don't know how to put in it the test, any way you improve a lot since I last saw you. I'll help you and this tennis train until we get to the top as the world number one tennis team, how's that? Don't you guys agree?"

"C'mon Li, she said she'll help us, she seem so nice yet so vicious" said one of the boy with spiky hair tip

"Yeah ,Li"

And then the others tennis player started agreeing .

"I'm in!" said Li as I help him stand up

"And about your wrist, it'll heal within a month" said I

"NOOO! A month!" Yelled Li

I laugh sarcastically then turn to the group of tennis players "Well, please introduce yourself"

"Why don't you start Sakura?" asked Daidouji

I shot her a glare. Why? Because no one is allow to call me by my first name and not get scared. What a small town? I wonder how Li deal with all this.

"Alright, I'm Sakura Kinomoto, I'm a tennis player since I was five. My enemy is that Chinese brat who name is Li. Relationship, nothing. Favorite food, anything that is not made by that 'Chinese brat'. Favorite movies, never thought about it. Career and future dream, the world number one tennis player. I'm starting first year of high school this fall, grade 9." I said

"May I asked, what is your relationship between you and Li" yell out a boy

"Yeah, how did you know each other?" another one pipe up

"He's been my enemy since elementary school, I can't believe I have to start another school year with him. Reason why we're enemy? I never really thought about it. I just hate him" I answered "Now it's your turn, include you Chinese brat"
