A/N: I'm so sorry that this chapter was so late! I got too into watching other anime (just finished Attack on Titan, Angel Beats, and now watching Eyeshield 21) and reading other novels…

Warnings: Includes a bit OOCness and a lot of random stuff


"Thoughts"

'Hmm..that exam was easy,' Ryoko thought as she walked around the school. She disliked the thought of having to wait an hour just to get her results. On the bright side, it was the weekend and no other students were around to be staring at the new kid.

'I wonder what Ryoma's doing right now,' she mused.


Ryoma finally found the office only to find Ryuzaki Sumire waiting for him.

"Yo, Ryoma! Glad to see you're coming to the same school your father went to."

"Hm." 'Looks like obaa-san hasn't changed at all' he thought.

"I'd take those forms for you. You're joining the tennis club right? We should get going and introduce you to the team. You and your sister will be an excellent addition to our team and it's too bad that your sister isn't here right now," she said grinning.

"Actu-"

"Come on, tennis practice is going to be over in an hour!" she said cutting him off and grabbing his wrist.

"It's just that-"

"I said come on!"


Ryoko stared at the tennis members and they stared back. She was sizing them up, already knowing that they were the weaklings of the team while the boys were just thinking about how cute and pretty she was.

They continued staring until- "Ah, Ryoko-chan, you're here!"

Yukimura walked out with Yanagi and Sanada beside him.

If Yanagi and Sanada were surprised, they didn't show it.

"Seiichi, is this who you wanted us to me-"

"AH! IT'S YOU!"

"Yes, it's me."

"Did you come back for a rematch with Yanagi-senpai? Well, you just got lucky last time and senpai never loses to the same opponent twice, SO HAH!"

"…"

"Akaya," Yukimura angelically said.

He gulped and went to hide behind his babysitter. Everyone, except the regulars, backed up ten steps.

"Is this who you wanted us to meet, Seiichi?"

"Yep, but I take it that you already know her?"

"Of course we know her! She's that gaki that we met at the street tennis courts. If anything, we'd trade her for her bro-." Yanagi clamped Akaya's mouth shut before he got the last word out, but, being the genius she was, she already knew what we was going to say next.

"Hmm? What was that you said? I didn't hear you loud enough SO COME AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE SO THEN I CAN PUNCH YOU RIGHT AT YOUR FACE!" At that point, nearly everyone was glad that there was a fence separating them.

"I said, if anything, we'd trade you for your brother," Akaya said, leaning his head as close to the fence as he dared. Behind him everyone gulped.

CRASH

Akaya went flying to the other side of the court and everyone stood there with either awe or terror struck upon their souls.

Where the gate was, now had a huge hole in it. Ryoko looked up with gleaming eyes and asked icily, "Anything else you might want to say? 'Cause trust me, it's going to hurt twenty times harder."

"A d-d-demon…we woke up a freakin' demon inside an innocent twelve year-old."


"…and so everyone, I would like you to meet the son of a very close acquaintance, Ryoma Echizen."

"….."

"IT'S YOU!" shouted Momo and Eiji.

"Yeah, it's me"

"That was awesome how you beat mamushi! Although, if you ever think about beating me, don't get your hopes up because I'm waaaaaay stronger than that guy."

"What did you say peach head?"

But before they started bickering, Ryoma intervened.

"Etto…who are you guys?"

"Wait, you don't remember us?"

"We met in the street tennis courts remember?"

Ryoma thought as hard as he could. A light bulb lit up upon his head and he snapped his fingers.

"I remember you guys now. You're kitty-cat senpai," he pointed at Eiji, "you're mother hen-senpai," points at Oishi, "snake-senpai, broom head-senpai, power-senpai, data-senpai, girly-senpai, and then there's that sensei over there who I don't remember."

Everyone, except for the 'sensei', then fell onto their heads with their feet in the air.

"Hahaha!" Ryuzaki-sensei laughed. "Good try Ryoma, that kid over there isn't a sensei, he's the buchou of the tennis club." But when she looked at Ryoma, she couldn't help but shiver at the sadistic look he had on his face.

"Ryoma…you knew their names all along, right?"

"No. What made you think that?" he replied innocently. He pulled his cap down to hide the smirk he had and looked around the court.

'Kitty cat-senpai' was crying wailing and 'mother hen-senpai' was (unsuccessfully) trying to comfort him as he went over the name that Ryoma had given him.

'Broom head-senpai' and 'snake-senpai' were arguing (as usual..) and making fun of each other (or not).

'Power-senpai' and 'data-senpai' were swelling with pride since they were recognized by their strengths.

Then, at the corner of the court, a dark rain cloud hung over 'girly-senpai' and the 'sensei'.

Ryoma smirked.

-Flashback—

"Ehh?! You want to learn how to get someone to play against you seriously?"

"Yeah, since oyaji never gets serious when I play him, he only gets serious when you play against him."

"Hmm…I guess the best way would probably be by provoking them. Or you can compliment them to get them to inflate their ego and then beat them in a match. Or then again, you can make up nicknames!"

"Ohhh. So things like-"

"CHIBISUKE! There you are!"

"…Yes Ryoma, just like that."

-Flashback end—


"So how are you going to pay for the fence?"

"I'm not. The school is."

"….."

"TARUNDORU! Akaya, why are you just laying down for? This isn't nap time! 50 laps around the court!" Sanada then was about to give Akaya one of his killer slaps when-

SLAP

And Sanada flew along with the birds in the sky, going to who knows where.

"That oji-san really does need to learn how to chill for once. Oh well, I have to go get my test scores. Ja ne~" Ryoko said as she cracked her knuckles; she walked back to the school and everyone was left with their jaws literally hitting the ground.

"Ah Echizen-chan! I bet you're wondering what you're doing here in my office, ne?"

Ryoko nodded.

"Well, based off on the results of your exam, your academic standards exceeds the expectations for freshmens and juniors! So, we thought that it would be better for you to be in third year classes, and of course, you'd be graduating with them as well!"

Ryoko nodded again.

"As for joining the tennis team, I think that it would be better if we put you in the boy's tennis club rather than the girl's. The girl's tennis club isn't nearly as good as the boy's, and after seeing your record, I think that it's the best choice."

"Hmm…kuchou, are you a tennis fan?"

The principal chuckled. "Well, after having a son who idolizes the man who nearly conquered the tennis world, who wouldn't?"

"Well, arigatou kuchou. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Same here."


"Well Ryoma, see you tomorrow! Can't wait to see your sister again!"

"Oh yeah, Ryuzaki-sensei, I've been meaning to tell you this."

"What is it? Did you get a girlfriend~? Hehe."

"No. It's just that-"

"O'chibi~" Eiji glomped him.

'Why is it that I'm always interrupted when I try to tell her?'

"Eiji! Let go! Gomen, Ryuzaki-sensei. We'll going home now."

"How about I walk you home, Ryoma? Then you can tell me along the way. Besides, I need to see what Nanjiroh is up to."

As they walked up to the Echizen residence, they noticed that Ryoko was standing in front of the gate.

"Oi, Ryoko! How's everything going?"

"Konnichiwa Ryuzaki-san, and everything is fine."

"Well, I can't wait to see you both again tomorrow! By the way, do you have your papers? I can turn them in for you."

"Papers…?"

"Your registration papers"

"…."

"Ryoma, you didn't tell her?" Ryoko asked shocked.

"No…"

Ryoko immediately walked over to Ryoma and they started whispering with each other.

"Tell me what? Hey! Don't exclude me!"

Ryoko sighed. 'I guess it can't be helped then.'

"Should we call the ambulance this time, aniki?"

"Nah, just stick to what we normally do."

"What if she faints and okaa-san sees her?"

"Then we'll just say that she had a heatstroke."

"..Your too mean aniki."

"What are you guys hiding from me?!"

"Ryoma, if you don't tell her in 15 seconds, Karupin will be sleeping in my room for the rest of his life."

Ryoma gulped and said, "Aniki isn't going to go to Seigaku, she's going to Rikkaidai!"

Then the twins quickly plugged their ears.

"NANI?!"

And on that fateful day, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake rippled across the country.


A/N: I'm writing too much random stuff these days….I really have to stop it, but I can't.

Please review! I need to know if there's anything that I need to really improve on! (Besides the fact that I write too much random stuff)
