Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Prince of Tennis. I do not own anything besides the original characters that are included in the fanfic.

All the Jinchuuriki are around 12-15 years old to stay within the middle school category along with the rest of the PoT cast. I know that the ages are wrong; I'm just making them fit into the storyline. All of the canon characters will most likely be OOC considering I can't stay to a certain personality of a canon character no matter what I do. The Jinchuuriki have total control of their Bijuu but can still talk to them whenever. When they release the chakra of their Bijuu they become stronger of course and their voices are a mixture of their voice and the bijuu they contain, therefore 'Demon Enhanced Speaking' when they do activate their powers.

"Chat" Normal talking

'Chat' Thinking

Sorry for taking so long. I'm trying to work on "Half-Breed" but I need to find something in order to continue it. Sorry for the long wait. School has been a killer and so is work. Sorry to keep you waiting for so long.

Tail 3: New Faces, New Personality

"Is that really you?"

The group of Jinchuuriki took another glance at the group. They could obviously tell that they were a tennis team if the tennis bags had anything to say about it. They were obviously in high school because of the uniform.

Yugito and Killer Bee looked at the group. Killer Bee saw these same outfits in his part of the wardrobe which he packed away. Yugito had gotten a female version of their outfits with a tank top and a skirt with shorts inside. The two now realized that this was the school they were going to go to in three weeks, Josei Shonan.

The tennis regulars from Josei Shonan got a good look at Beast and said one word, "Rose?"

Beast looked at them before smiling. She took in a deep breath before yelling out happily, "Hanamura-san! Takahisa-kun! Youhei-kun! Kouhei-kun! How nice to see you four again! How have you been? Has everyone been well? Still playing tennis I see…I swear that you guys live off of tennis nowadays," she finished before laughing out.

The two groups stared at the girl before joining in as well.

"So…" Yugito started, "how did your group meet Rose?"

The group looked to her, and the coach spoke. "The ones that she greeted have known her since Elementary School. Ever since she was little she has been switching from school to school every year for some odd reason," Hanamura answered to the blonde girl.

The Jinchuurikis looked toward Rose with a look that just asked 'Why?'

Rose just gave a sheepish smile and said, "Why don't we get inside and get something to eat while I answer your question guys?"

Both groups looked at the girl before nodding in agreement. They all went inside and found a large table that would be able to fit all 19 of them. After they ordered their food, the two groups continued staring at Rose for an explanation of why she kept switching between different schools across Japan ever since her elementary school years.

Rose took a deep breath before answering what was on their mind. "The reason I kept switching schools every year was so that I could get to know each of the people from each school. I knew my friends would be coming to Japan one day, but I also knew that they would have to be separated for personal reasons. Therefore, I wanted to make sure that they were in the best environment that will do them good along with students that were obviously in their year. Speaking of which, everyone this is Yugito and Killer Bee. They will be attending Josei Shonan as of this year. Yugito will be a second year, and Killer Bee will be a third year."

Kajimoto, the captain of the Josei Shonan tennis team, smiled and said, "It is nice to meet our two newest classmates before the year even starts. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's nice to know that Rose had other friends as well."

The group of Jinchuuriki looked at each other and said telepathically, 'They don't know how close we really are to each other. We're more like brothers and sisters than just friends now right Rose?'

Rose gave a small nod that was only caught by her group. The tennis team members were busy talking amongst each other to notice the little gesture.

"Wait," Kouhei, the blue haired male of the two siblings, started, "if Yugito and Killer Bee are coming to our school. What about the rest of you? Where are you going to head?"

Rose stared at Kouhei and asked, "Do you really want to know?"

Youhei, the pink haired male of the two, just said, "Yes~!"

Rose stared at them with a small smile gracing her features. She opened her mouth to say something and the group inched closer to hear her answer. Her answer was unexpected to the group when she said, "Hi~mit~su~!"

Rose's group chuckled while the tennis team sweat-dropped.

Rose was just plain out laughing at the tennis team members. She also said, "If you want to know, you'll have to ask them yourselves when they have the time."

Shou, the doubles' partner of Daichi, looked confused at that statement. "What do you mean, when they have the time? Don't they have the time now?"

Rose smiled at the boy and said, "The food is here if you haven't noticed. They still have to pack up for their trips to their respective prefecture anyways. They've only arrived to Japan today, and I still need to help them pack up what they need."

With that, the group left Rose alone about the matter and proceeded to eat the food that they ordered.

After the two groups were finished eating, Rose's group left the restaurant paying for their food in the process. They said their good-byes to Josei Shonan and left towards another shop.

"Where are we heading Rose?" Fu asked.

Rose looked over at Fu over her shoulder and said, "We're just heading to a tennis sports shop."

"Why?" Gaara bluntly asked.

Rose just sweat-dropped at Gaara's behavior. 'Let's hope Naruto can change his behavior when he gets to Shitenhouji. I'm pretty sure that Kintarou would be a big help as well in that. Can't wait to see what happens. I mean sure Naruto is more mature that he acts, but he still enjoys a good prank along with Kintarou.' "I'm just fetching some supplies for my matches Gaara. No need to worry your little red-head."

Gaara just glared at the girl before turning away to talk to Naruto. Rose smiled at the two. Ever since the incident where Naruto stopped Gaara from destroying Konoha, the two have been getting closer and closer.

Rose led the group along the way to the nearest tennis sports shop. When she got there she saw a mess of black hair in a yellow and black tennis outfit arguing with a red-haired man in the same outfit chewing bubble gum. She smiled and ran towards the boy yelling out his name, "Akaya-kun!"

Said person stopped arguing with his senpai and turned to look at the person who yelled his name. He was frowning at first, but it changed into a smile once he saw who it was that yelled. He turned towards the girl and yelled out her name as well, "Rose-chan! How have you been?" He had his arms open because he knew that the girl loved to hug other people.

Rose ran towards the boy and jumped into his arms hugging him in the process. She turned towards her group and yelled out, "Hey everyone! This is my childhood friend Akaya! Kirihara Akaya! Say hello!"

Rose's group finally caught up to the girl after running and nodded their greetings because they couldn't talk right now. As soon as Rose saw the boy, she shot off like a bullet. Who knew that she was that fast even without her demon abilities?

The group behind Kirihara looked at the girl hanging over his shoulders. They saw her white hair that had silver highlights throughout that brought out her golden-colored eyes.

Rose noticed that people were giving her stares and immediately jumped off of Kirihara and went behind Killer Bee.

The two groups were confused at her actions besides Kirihara. Said boy just sighed and said, "You don't need to be afraid of these people Rose. You've been in every school in Japan besides Rikkaidai haven't you?" They all watched the girl peek her head out from behind Killer Bee and saw her nod in response. Kirihara smiled before saying, "You don't need to worry. You're coming into our school as a second year with me right?" Again, they saw her nod and start inching out from Killer Bee.

"Kirihara?" a voice suddenly said breaking the few seconds of silence.

Rose jumped a bit and went back behind Killer Bee.

Kirihara sighed before saying, "Yes Marui-senpai?"

The red-hair Kirihara was arguing with earlier looked at the girl or at least tried to and said, "Who's the girl?"

Kirihara went around Killer Bee and gently grabbed Rose by the arm and slowly dragged her in front of the Rikkaidai tennis team. "This is Rose. Ryu Rose. She's my childhood friend. She's been through almost every school in Japan ever since her elementary years," he answered while he gave Rose a friendly smile.

Rose nodded at them for her greeting before going behind Kirihara seeing as he still held her arm.

Sanada, the vice-captain of the team, looked over at the girl before saying, "Is something wrong with her Kirihara? She was happily hugging you earlier was she not?" he finished while turning his stare over to Kirihara.

Kirihara sighed once more, he seemed to be doing that more lately when Rose was around, and responded, "She has a bit of a fright problem. Ever since she was little, whenever she got near anyone she didn't know she would hide behind someone she did know. She even did that during her elementary years. She has one childhood friend in each school that helped her become more accustomed to other people in those respective schools. I am her childhood friend that is in the Rikkaidai branch. I'm thinking that you kept switching around schools for your friends here right Rose?" he asked turning towards the girl.

The girl looked up and nodded her reply.

Kirihara raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why Rose? It made it a lot harder for you to open up to a group of people in those schools."

Rose stepped out from behind Kirihara and took a look towards her own group. She smiled before replying, "I wanted to make sure that any friends I made during those years would be in the same years as my friends here. I knew that they would come to Japan eventually and I wanted to make sure that they were safe in the schools that they are sent to. They can't all be sent to the same school for…personal reasons. Therefore I wanted to check out the schools and the people to make sure that they got the best out of it."

Kirihara looked towards Rose and put an arm over her shoulder and brought her close giving her a one-armed hug. "You really care about your friends Rose. You should at least worry about yourself for once in your life."

Rose looked towards Kirihara and just nodded her reply with a small smile.

The group of Jinchuuriki that kept silent during the entire conversation was a bit surprised. They knew that Rose was shy around people but not this shy. They all thought 'What is your true personality Rose?'
