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

'Chat' Telepathy between Jinchuuriki

Sorry for the long wait. School has been a killer and so is work. I took a page from my friend and decided to try and prewrite the chapters before I post them. I will start posting the remaining chapters for this story once evey week on Saturdays so that I have some time to work on the other fanfictions. Hope you like the chapter!

Tail 7: Should I or Shouldn't I?

"So this is the Rikkaidai tennis club?" a female voice asked from the tennis court sidelines.

"Yes, this is it Rose. Come on, let's sign you up," Kirihara said taking Rose's hand and dragging her to the registration table for the club.

The two were happy that classes were over for the day, and they were even in the same class! Rose looked around the tennis courts and saw how spacious the courts were. 'Tennis must be a big thing here then. That's not surprising considering their record of two straight national wins,' she thought as she smiled at how Kirihara's team was doing. She wondered if any of her childhood friends' teams would do well to get to Nationals this year.

"Hey you two!" a voice yelled from in front of the two second years. They both stopped and looked to see a third year in front of them with a sneer on his face. The male took a look at Kirihara and said, "You know girls aren't allowed here…or is she your little girlfriend?" he said teasingly.

Kirihara's eyebrow twitched at the male's behavior. "You may be my senpai, but you have no right to stop my childhood friend from joining this club when she's already gotten permission to join," Kirihara said with a sneer of his own as he felt Rose get behind him and cling onto his arm.

The third year smiled...an evil grin was more likely to describe it… "Huh? So the little brat has got some backbone huh? Interesting…but…are you sure that girl is even worth joining the club. I mean look at her, she's hiding behind you right now!" he mocked pointing at Rose.

Rose jumped back behind Kirihara when the elder male had pointed at her. She peeked out from behind Kirihara once more thinking, 'Stupid men. Always trying to pick on the little girl. Wait till I show him what's up.'

"I bet she can't even play. She's probably just a fan-girl trying to get the regulars attention including yours," the third year mocked twirling his hand around in a circle as if trying to get his point across.

Kirihara snapped and yelled out, "Oh please! She's already met the other regulars and didn't turn into a fan-girl once! I swear Higure, you are one of the most conceited people on this team to come to that sort of conclusion without even knowing her!"

The third year, now known as Higure, scowled before yelling, "You shouldn't treat a senpai like that you know! Now you're going to pay for that comment!" he yelled before pulling back a fist to punch Kirihara.

The people that were watching the two argue widened their eyes when they saw Higure about to punch Kirihara, the only second year regular on the team.

The other tennis regulars saw this behind the registration table and tried to make it to Kirihara and stop Higure but were too late.

They all saw the punch flying towards Kirihara's face before it was stopped. They all heard a gasp of pain but not from Kirihara…from Higure.

They all looked towards him after opening their eyes, they closed them earlier so they wouldn't see Kirihara get hit, and saw Higure's fist being held in Rose's grip. She had a glare on her face. The ones that didn't close their eyes knew what happened, mainly the tennis regulars knew.

Rose saw the punch coming and quickly pushed Kirihara out of the way before getting ready for the punch. She braced herself before pushing her hand forward to grip his fist before it even reached her. "Don't mess with my friends got it? Mess with Kirihara or his teammates, and I'll make sure you can't play tennis with them again," she said before stepping under him and lifting him over her shoulder, throwing him into the ground. "Now get away from my sight before something worse happens."

Higure was wide-eyed on the ground and got up quickly. The third year ran through the gates and back home before he could get hurt any more by the girl.

The spectators all turned toward Rose as the girl sighed and made her way to Kirihara with a smile on her face.

"Are you alright Akaya-kun?" Rose asked as she pulled Kirihara up from the ground from when she pushed him out of the way.

Kirihara gratefully took the offered hand and got back up saying, "Yeah I'm alright. Thanks for having my back as always," he said playfully punching her in the shoulder. "Looks like he won't be bugging us anytime soon huh?" he commented after putting an arm around Rose's shoulders.

Rose just smirked at the gate entrance before turning her attention toward the crowd that was staring at them. She blinked twice before jumping behind Kirihara. By now, everyone had heard about Rose's little fear besides Higure it seems. They couldn't help but think that the girl was bi-polar with the way she just acted.

The tennis regulars continued with the registrations and made sure that Rose got hers in. They wanted her to be with Kirihara because it seemed to make him a lot calmer in and out of tennis matches.

~Time Skip~ Two Days~

"I wonder whether my friends are okay in their new schools," Rose asked while eating her ice cream cone. The regulars were walking to Rose's mansion to spend some time with the girl. It was Kirihara's suggestion actually. Every time Rose went to a new school, one of her childhood friends would introduce her to a group, and she would sometimes invite them to her house.

Kirihara stared at Rose before asking, "What schools are they going to?"

Rose turned back at him before finishing her ice cream with another bite. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand before saying, "You'll find that out in the tennis tournaments that you will have." She turned another corner with the other regulars following her. "My house is a few more blocks away. It's in the forest area."

Marui had just finished his own ice cream cone; Rose bought all of the regulars' one as a gift for taking care of her on the first day of school when fan-girls pretty much ambushed her for being near the regulars earlier. He swallowed before asking, "Why is your house so far away from the school? I'm surprised you made it to school on the registration day if you really did leave at the time you said."

Rose gave a small smile and turned back to face him. She put her hands behind her back and said, "Would you rather run all the way there instead. After all we just had practice."

The regulars all widened their eyes except for Kirihara, Yukimura, Sanada, Yagyuu, and Yanagi. They all thought 'She would make us run up to her house instead? I'd rather walk!' The regulars shook their heads before walking up to catch up with her.

The regulars finally reached the house…err, scratch that, mansion and widened their eyes at the size.

While the group of boys was looking at the house, Rose quickly pulled her thumb to her mouth and slashed it across her fangs and wiped it across the gates. She thought that nobody saw her do this…except for one person.

'What did she do that for? Might as well see what she does next before mentioning anything,' the one boy thought.

They all looked up to the door as they walked up to it. Rose hid her bloodied thumb and when she reached for the doorknob, she swiped the blood across it while turning it at the same time. The seals on the gate and doorknob were released, and Rose smiled that the alarms wouldn't go off with these people in her home. Rose opened the door and let the group in.

The entire group, besides Kirihara, couldn't believe how big the mansion was. When they walked down the corridors, they saw halls that had no doors and no pictures. Those were the walls that hid the Jinchuuriki rooms that were meant only to be seen by the Jinchuuriki themselves and no one else.

"What's with those empty hallways?" Marui asked finally looking away from the corridors.

"Just some space to meditate and relax without having people after you," Rose answered leading them all to the kitchen.

"How could you hide in there? It's all empty," Niou asked looking at the pictures and antique weapons in the display cases on their way to get some food.

"Exactly that. With the place so empty, no one would take a look in such an obvious place. It also helped when there are support beams at the top and there are hidden holding spaces to get up there. No one looks up anymore except when playing tennis for some odd reason," Rose remarked finally getting to the kitchen door. "Alright guys, grab whatever you like," she said as she opened the door to the kitchen.

The doors opened to reveal a room with all tons of cooking equipment. Even the most amateur of cooks could probably make something good in this place. Rose went over to the fridge in order to get something for herself, and the others followed her example and grabbed whatever they wanted to eat.

None of them except one noticed that Rose had left the room, that one boy being the same one who saw Rose wiping her bloodied thumb onto the gates and doorknob earlier. 'Where did she go?' the boy thought before bringing his food out and walking towards the first empty hallway he saw. He looked up and around the hallway but found nothing. He continued in the same manner until he reached the fourth hallway. He looked up and saw Rose on a support beam next to the window watching the sunset. She looked like she was happily dangling her legs, but that wasn't what he noticed. What he noticed was the blank look on her face. In the few days that the boy had known her, she always had a smile or a nervous look on her face no matter what she was doing.

He looked around and saw the hidden holding spaces and started climbing up. Once he reached her, he sat down next to her. It seems that she didn't notice him there until he tapped her on the shoulder.

She jumped a bit before nearly falling off. The boy would have caught her…if she didn't bend her legs to wrap around the beam to keep her in place when she was about halfway back. She slowly pulled herself up and looked at the boy with a small glare. The glare disappeared and was replaced with a small smile and a greeting, "Hello, Marui-senpai. What can I do for you?"

Marui looked around and at the entrance to the hallway. He looked back at her before asking, "Why did you wipe your blood onto the gates and the doorknob before we got in?"

Rose widened her eyes before jumping off. Marui gasped but stopped when he saw her flip in the air and land in a crouching position before getting back up. Rose's eyes were darting back and forth, and she decided to call the other Jinchuuriki.

'Are you guys there?'Rose asked.

'Yeah, we're here. What's up Rose?' she heard from the others.

Rose smiled before continuing. 'One of my teammates saw me wipe blood onto the seal of mine, Yugito's and Killer Bee's house. Yugito and Killer Bee are in town hanging out with Josei Shonan by the way. Should I tell him about us or not?'

'We vote not. Who knows what the boy will do with the information?'

'We could always wipe his memory…'

'Still no Rose…definitely no…who knows how he would react to the news. Remember the last person who you told from the ninja world about the Jinchuuriki…the guy nearly killed you.'

'Fine, fine I won't tell the guy. But he's going to wonder how the heck I jumped from the support beam onto the ground without hurting myself.'

'Make a lie. You were always good at lying.'

'Fine…I'll lie again.' With that done, Rose decided not to tell Marui about the other world and decided to say to Marui, "I have a lot of acrobatics practice. I'm pretty flexible, and I love jumping off high places."

Marui seemed to have bought it before climbing down the holding places and jumping off once he was within two feet to the ground. The two went back to the living room to see the group playing the games on her TV.
