Chapter 12

Rikkai vistors

"It's almost the last stop. Please check your area to make sure you don't forget anything." As the bus driver stopped he noticed that one passenger was a sleep. The driver went near the passenger and woke him up.

"Sir, it's the last stop. Last stop" As the bus driver shook the sleeping passenger.

"Last stop?" Going down the bus the wonderer looked around. "Huh, I don't see my school." Looking up the area it was clear that he was lost. "Where is this?"

[Class 2]

Kairu was in class writing down notes when she felt her phone vibrate, but before taking out her phone she looked if anyone is looking at her. 'Yosh! No one's looking." Flipping her phone open she read the mail she received.

"I'm on my way to your school….. I can't wait to see you! Ja ne!"

'Who on earth is this…..' shrugging off the thought Kairu hid her phone and continued on writing. 'Wrong send I guess'

…..Back to our lost person….

"I overslept and stopped off at a different school." Unsure of what to do the lost student called one if his sensei. "Huh, today's practice game?" Leaning in against the wall the student just couldn't make it to his practice game. "It's noon already, so it's impossible. Where am I now?" Looking around the student looked for a sign on where he is. "Hmm… I wonder…" Realizing that there was a sign behind him he read it. "Hello sensei, I found out where I am." But before he could he give his location the sensei hang upped.

"Huh? Geez… don't hang up on me…" Taking his bag he slung it on his shoulder before heading inside the campus. "Heh, Seigkau… let's go check them out."

[Girl's side of the court]

Everyone was doing their own practice. The freshmen were of course doing basic training while the second years and third years were either having a match or strengthening their own skill. Saori on the other hand was testing her racquet's tension.

"I'm not really sure who it was that sent me this mail but wonder if that person is really coming here?"

"That's so weird… maybe it's a secret admirer that's going to ask for your hand in marriage!"

"Marriage already, can't that person date me first!" Kina went near them placing her arm around their shoulder.

"What's this marriage thing you two are talking about? Kairu you're getting married eh? Who's the groom… Is it Fuji-senpai? Let me read the mail."

"Iie!" Kairu showed the mail to Kina which she quickly snatched the phone from Kairu's grip.

"…Hikaru….I don't think this is a guy…."

"Eh? Why?

"Would a guy use sparkleprincess as his email address?"

"Sou ka…"

Saori stopped from what she was doing upon hearing the e-mail sparkleprincess making her feel a bit nervous.

"What's wrong Saori?" Aya asked from behind her but Saori ignored her question and walked over to be where Kairu, Kina and Hiakru were.

"Eto...Fujiwara-san can I see that?" The three looked at each other but Kairu still gave her phone to Saori while Saori took out her own phone. "There the same…." Saori flipped her phone shut and hid it as she gave Kairu's phone back.

"What's wrong buchou?"

"Nothing….I hope…."

[Boy's side of the court]

Takeshi was observing the boy's or more like was looking at Tezuka who was just standing their observing all the members practicing.

"Kuni…hihihi….."

"Heh, so this is Seigaku's tennis club." Taki looked beside him and saw a student standing their looking at all the players.

"….A sacrifice…..hihihi" Taki sneaked away before the student notice him.

"Heh, they're pretty good. I wonder who Tezuka-san is." Looking around the lost student saw a woman taking pictures.

"Ah, Nice Fuji-kun. So lovely, so handsome…."

"What? Spy from another school?"

"Nice… cooool!"

"But she looks kinda old for it…." Hearing the word old Shiba looked annoyed at the person who spoke those words. Walking over she placed her hands on her hip and looked at the student annoyingly.

"You called me old, right?" The student just looked at Shiba confusingly. "Just because you're in Jr. High doesn't mean you can go around calling people in their 20's "old"!" But as Shiba was scolding the student her phone rang. Getting her phone she answered it and found out that she had to go somewhere important. Completely annoyed she hung up her phone and looked at the student. "I'll spare you because it's an emergency situation, but you're not getting off easy next time!" Getting her camera she took the student's picture. "Going to remember you face for future references! Wuaaa, gotta get going!" packing her camera she quickly dashes out of the Seigaku.

"Strange lady, whatever. Tezuka-san is…" upon entering the court both Inui and Oishi immediately notice that he was not from this school.

"You don't look like a student from Seigaku. Do you need something?" Oishi immediately asked making the student a bit surprised.

"They're on to me already." Arai also noticed the mysterious student while Momoshiro remained fixed on what he is doing.

Composing himself he started to act all cool. "I guess it can't be helped. I'm Rikkaidai Jr. High's junior ace….The famous Kirihara Akaya."

"Rikkaidai Jr. High…" Inui stated before remembering the school's tennis data.

"He's from Sanada. I wonder what Kanagawa's representative wants with Seigaku." The vice captain wondered. Scratching his back Kirihara stated his at the moment reason.

"I came to do a little spying." All eyes looked at Kirihara in surprise.

Let's go back to the girl's side of the court shall we.

Saori was watching Kairu and Shugo's match to see their improvement.

"Both have improved quite a lot these days, ne Buchou."

"Ah.. Especially Kairu.. at the start she was really clumsy and unfocused but now she really proved her right to be one of the regulars." Ai smiled at her captain and friend's comment.

"WOAH~! SUGOI NE~!" All eyes turned to look at where that loud voice came from.

"AH~! SAORI-CHAAANNN~!" Saori stood silent and slowly turned her head and saw a familiar face that immediately ran towards her and hugged the captain making both of them fall on the ground.

"Oww~ Eh! Atatsuya!"

"Hi Saori-chan~! How are you?"

"Why?" Saori mumbled with glum while the others looked in surprised.

Back at the boy's side of the court, let's check what riot would occur.

Everyone was looking at Kirihara somewhere annoyed while others were curious.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Oh, I found you. You're Tezuka-san, right? The one my senpais have an eye on." Kirihara enthusiastically pointed at. "You're the only one that defeated my senpais in the Kanto Districts last year."

"O-oi!" Oishi tried to stop him as Kirihara went near Tezuka.

"I just want a match. It's okay right?"

"People not in the club should leave."

"Come on, Tezuka-san. Just one set is fine. Don't be so strict. You must be tired keeping up this face all the time. Don't be so tough, eh?"

"Yo, don't be disrespecting our captain!" Arai pissed off at Kirihara's attitude grabbed a tennis ball and hits it towards him. "Hurry up and leave!"

"Arai, you fool!" Oishi shouted. But Kirihara immediately noticed the approaching ball and took out his racket and swiftly controlled the ball and stopped it which surprised not the others.

"Can you not cut into our conversation."

"He lightly fielded my serve…"

"I'm not saying we're going to go all out. Just want to play this through, one ball at a time. This is a bad atmosphere…" Was what left his lips but in his mind. 'I'm going to crush you!" But Tezuka remained silent. "Just kidding. No is no. Can't help that. Hey, you in the back! Here's you ball!" Kirihara served the ball without looking back at where it might land. 'Heh, that was cool.' Which landed its way to Momoshiro's face causing him to get knock out and lose his grip that made his racket go flying at Kachiro's back, dropping the whole basket of balls at Eiji's face and making the other members slip and fall at all the scattered balls on the ground making another racket fly towards Kaidoh that made him spill his drink at his own face. Kaidoh was now angry which kind of scared the other members.

"Hey hey. This doesn't look good…"

"Ffssshhh… Who did this?" Kaidoh glared.

"Oh, Kaidoh is really mad."

"Fffssshhh… Who did this?" Kaidoh shouted angrily.

"Settle down Kaidoh!" While Kirihara slowly sneaked away as he gave the racket to Inui. Everyone was now in chaos.

"Everyone! 30 laps around the field!" Tezuka ordered every member with a slight anger in his voice.

"Yes!"

(A/C: Zannen munen matta raisho is all that I can say to the boys.)

Back to the girl's side of the court, what could have happened?

"Eh? You're looking for someone?"

"Hai." Atatsuya cheerfully answered while she and Saori sat on the ground.

"Ne Saori-buchou, who is she?" Hikaru asked as she pointed a finger at the girl who looked like was wearing a Lolita - school model type of clothing.

"Ah… This is Akechi Atatsuya… a friend of mine I met during one of the tennis competitions I joined last year."

"Hi~! Call me Atatsuya-chan, minna-chan~! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!"

"Eto….could you have been the one that send me this mail?" Kairu asked while showing her phone.

"Ah~! Hai! But I sent that mail to Saori-chan… how did it? Ne Saori-chan your email address was Atashi-sama_18 , right?"

"Iie…. I told you my email ad is Saorihara_1207 ... You still didn't get it right."

"Atashi-sama_18 ?" Kina looked at Kairu teasingly

"It was my uncle who came up with that!" Kairu immediately defended.

"So the person you're looking for?"

"Ah~! His name is Kirihara Akaya."

"That name sounds familiar?" Ai thought for a moment at where she had heard that name from.

"Hai… Rikkaidai Jr. High's ace.. I met him while I was training at Rikkai's girls tennis team."

"You're a member now!"

"Hai."

"Gomen Atatsuya but I don't think his here."

"Eh~! Okay…. I guess I should go…" Atatsuya glumly walked out of the court and left the premises.

"Will she be alright buchou?"

"She'll be fine. Now everyone… back to practice!"

"Hai!"

Meanwhile…

"Huh? …my sacrifice…is gone…." Taki muttered as she looked for Kirihara at the boy's side of the court as dark aura spread around her. She walked near Tezuka. "Kuni-kun have you seen my sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice?... No.." Tezuka answered as he patted Taki on the head.

A/N sorry for the long wait.. I had exams so I needed to focus.. Well enjoy!
