Yay! I uploaded a little faster than I have been! Read and review please! :D

Today's the day. The day of the tournament. And the day Yumiko-chan comes to the competition. Yukimura-san and the rest of them better be there so I can prove them wrong! Me, like Yumiko-chan? That's absurd! I hardly even know her! She's just someone who switched schools and happens to have an interest in tennis and making me mad! It really was pointless for me to ask my senpais for advice.

Looking at the clock, I realize I need to get going soon or I'm going to be late. So I quickly eat my breakfast and head out the door, walking towards the direction of the tournament.

"Yo! Seaweed Head!"

My eyes widen in shock as I turn to see Marui-san running towards me. When he catches up he says to me. "So, is she coming?"

"Is who- Oh, right! Yes, she's coming. Turns out she was going to show up without me asking. But why do you want to know?"

"So I know whether or not I'll be able to boast afterwards! If she wasn't coming then I would have no reason to come!" Marui-san says while smirking.

"Marui-senpai!"

"Kidding, I would be there anyways. Though I do want to meet the girl that is so burdensome to your heart!" And then he begins cracking up! Laughing hysterically for no good reason!

"Marui-senpai! You don't make any sense!"

"Bakaya! You're so dense! What'd you do, hit your head when you were little?" The look he is giving me is one of shock.

"I'm beginning to wonder the same thing about you since you just started laughing for no reason!" I retort.

"Whatever, Seaweed Head," Marui-san began walking ahead. "Let's get going and hope the truth gets through that thick skull of yours.

So far so good! I woke up, ate an amazing breakfast, got dressed, and headed out the door in no time! Today's weather also seems promising being sunny without a cloud in the sky. Let's just hope the temperature doesn't rise too much. Now, I can officially show that I am supporting the team of my new school… not that they need support. It's kind of nice to be able to feel as if I belong, that I am part of something as I was not at my old school. What makes it even better is that Kirihara-kun asked me to come! Obviously he wants me there to support them as well… I think. No matter, I'm going anyways.

The place where the tournament was being held wasn't that far from my house, so the walk didn't take very long. The problem when I got there was finding the court the team would be playing on. You would think that wouldn't be very hard with them wearing yellow. Luckily, I didn't have to worry too long about finding them because I heard Kirihara-kun's voice yelling.

"Bakaya! Stop being so stubborn!"

"Stop making no sense, Marui-senpai!

Yep, there they were. Seems last years senior regulars decided to show up for the match as well.

"Kiriha-," I started.

"Seaweed Gead, grow up and stop being such a kid! You can't remain a fool forever!"

"I am not a fool! You are for thinking you know what's wrong with me all the time!"

"Marui-kun, stop tormenting Kirihara-kun, he has a visitor," The guy that spoke had a kind, gentle face with blue hair. He must be Yukimura-san, last years captain.

"Oh, so is this the girl you've been talking about, Bakaya? She's kind of cute! If you don't hurry up I'm going to take her!" Loud, red hair, and he just blew a green bubble from his gum. Definitely Marui-san. But… what was he talking about?

"Marui-senpai, will you just stop?" Kirihara-kun didn't look mad, he just looked frustrated. "Yumiko-chan, you made it."

"Of course I did. Told you I was going to come, didn't I?" I smiled at him as I said this, but the confusion was definitely apparent on his face. Not exactly the way you would want to start off a tournament in my opinion. He must have a lot going on right now.

"Yeah, whatever," Kirihara-kun walked off and we followed him taking our seats to view all the matches. "Alright, remember why we're here. To win! If anyone loses a match they have to run first thing tomorrow! This is our first match in the Prefectural Tournament, so just because we win three matches don't relax if you have to play! We will win every one of them! Doubles two, go warm up!"

And with that the tournament has begun.

Next chapter starts the matches. It'll probably be mostly in Kirihara's POV, and I'm not going to dwell on the matches long except Kiriharas. ;)
