Loving all of the attention that this story is getting! I like the theories of who she could possibly hate. You may find out in this chapter or the next, but I'll guess I will see where this chapter takes me. Keep reading and check out some of my other PoT stories! I might pick up Who Will Take it All: Back in Action again!

I still have no clue how long this story is going to be. My estimate is going to be about 20-30 chapters. This pretty much starts at the beginning of the series and goes through the U-17 camp since that is now up!

Well, here is chapter 2!

Getting a Grip on Reality

Kira woke up the next morning tying to think about what she did last night. Maybe he was right in telling her she only wanted a match because she was angry at the world for something that he didn't cause, but in her mind, he was dead wrong and she was going to make him pay. She looked at her uniform and put it on again only to travel to school to sit in a room where she would be learning again.

It's not that she was bad a school, she just never wanted to be there. Her mind was always somewhere else in this world. Today was the first day that she realized who was in her class. She noticed a boy with silver hair pulled back in a ponytail. His body language told her that he was sleeping or just slacking off, but he was answering questions every time he was asked to answer. At the lunch break she noticed that he played tennis.

It makes sense now. It is probably just his way of relaxing before practice. Kira thought. As she was finishing her thought, the boy came up to her.

"Why hello there. I never introduced myself. The name is Niou," he said with a grin.

"Niroshina Kira," she said nodding her head in return.

"Now, why don't you eat with my friends since you don't have that many here?"

"I don't think that is a good idea. I prefer to eat alone."

"No, I think you are coming with me," he said pulling her up by the arm and dragging her to the table where his team was sitting. She noticed the boy who showed her around yesterday. She sat down next to Niou and to what seemed to her as a non-Japanese boy.

"Who is she?" Another boy who appeared younger than the rest of them asked.

"I'm Niroshina Kira, but just call me Kira. Niou-san pulled me here against my will. You must really know how to push someone's buttons since I truly despise tennis with every fiber in my being," Kira said.

"How could you hate tennis?" Niou asked.

"Too long of a story to tell, but maybe I just hate tennis because of one person who ruined it all for me. I'll give you all a chance, but if you dare insult me in the least, don't ever think of talking to me again."

The boys stared at her. They couldn't believe that there was someone who hated tennis and people for that fact, as much as she does.

"Deal. That is Kirihara, Mauri, Jackal, Renji, Yagyuu, and Sanada," Niou said.

"Nice to meet all of you," Kira said.

"So have you decided on a club to join?" Mauri asked.

"Not yet, I just want another day or so to get adjusted to my surroundings and settled into everything," Kira said before taking a bite out of her lunch.

"Do you play any sports or do any activities?" Yagyuu asked.

"I play piano, but it's not really my thing. I was really into tennis till I learned to hate it, other than that, I am not good at anything else. The only skill that I have is that I can organize things like a pro. I always wanted to be a party planner or something like that," Kira said while thinking of other things that she knows how to do.

"I see, there's not much here that can help you with that. Why don't you join the track team or something, you must be pretty athletic if you played tennis."

"I stopped training and playing about three years ago. So that pretty much defeats that purpose of things. Don't worry, I'll find something to do."

After lunch, she returned to class and waited out the rest of the day. She realized that sooner or later she has to come to the fact that tennis is a part of her, but she isn't willing to let that happen just yet. As class ended, she decided to get up and walk around the campus a little bit and she stumbled on the tennis courts. She noticed the people that she met at lunch and decided to see what they were like.

Her eyes scanned the courts and she found a lone racket sitting on the ground just waiting to be found and she picked it up to return it to someone. She walked down to the courts and found Niou.

"Hey, I found this, I think it belongs to one of your members," Kira said handing him the racket.

"That's too small to be one of our members. It might be the girls team," Niou said.

"Okay, just thought I would ask."

Kira walked away and went to the courts where the girls were practicing. She walked up to one of the members and did the same thing, but they said that it wasn't theirs either. I refuse to take this as some sort of sign that I should play tennis again. She thought as she walked away from those courts and decided to go home.

At home, things weren't any easier. She just looked at her tennis bag and part of her wished that she had that urge to play again for fun, and not to beat someone. Her eyes glanced over to her homework and then back to her bag. She knew that part of her that she had surpressed for all of those years is coming back and she doesn't want to face that feeling again.

The next thing that she knew, she was walking to a park with her bag in hand and she found what she was looking for. She found the tennis courts and decided to just practice her hitting for the first time in years.

While she was practicing, a few people showed up and decided to watch her practice.

"You're pretty good," one said to her snapping her out of her frustration.

"Thanks," Kira mumbled and she looked up to notice that is was Niou and Yagyuu.

"You should think about joining the girls team," Niou said.

"I don't want to play tennis. If anything I would rather work behind the scenes," Kira said.

"Well, I know that Sanada may not like it, but maybe we could make you our manager. You wouldn't have to play and you are participating in a club activity," Yagyuu said.

"That sounds reasonable, I may just have to take you up on that offer. I'll come tomorrow morning to make my plea with the team and whoever-else I need to talk to about it," Kira said packing her things away. "I'll see you tomorrow."

With that, Kira got up and walked back to her house debating what she just said to Niou and Yagyuu, but she was still going to check it out, and if there was any way that she was going to get to see that person, she was going to prove them wrong.

I'm actually kinda pleased with how this one turned out. I have no clue when I will have the next chapter up at the moment. I will most likely work on it over the weekend, but after my two days of classes, I know I am in for a busy semester!

R&R!
