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

Tail 9: Eh? She's a Regular Now!

Kirihara glared at the boys in the tennis club as they watched Rose play. She was wearing the regular outfit; a tank-top version of the regulars' shirts as well as a skirt that went to her knees and had shorts inside. He kept thinking 'Are they ever going to stop looking at her. I bet that Yukimura-buchou is already getting mad.'

Boy was Kirihara right. Yukimura and the other regulars glared at the non-regular tennis members who stared at Rose for endless periods of time.

Rose noticed people staring at her as well but not because of her tennis. She was getting irritated and decided to show the reason not to irritate her. She threw a tennis ball up before jumping into the air after it, twirling in mid-air and smashed it down into an unused spot of the practice area.

The tennis team didn't expect much…until they heard a cracking sound. They looked at the ball to see it still spinning in the same exact spot. They saw the ground partially cracking under the pressure and then saw the ball bounce to the left…heading towards another tennis player. They saw the ball heading to hit the boy on the head unless he did something…until it stopped about a foot in front of him and suddenly dropped to the ground.

Everyone looked towards Rose who landed lightly on the ground. They saw her glare at them before saying, "Stare at me again like that…I'll aim for something lower instead."

Every boy in the area gulped in fear as the girl put on another smile and went over to practice with Kirihara who was shaking his head with a small smile on his face.

Kirihara turned his face up to look at Rose. "You really should stop scaring them…that's how you made everyone run away from a fight with you in elementary," he said as he handed her a water bottle.

Rose took the bottle with a nod and drank some. She took a breath after she finished and replied, "It was their fault. They were the ones picking a fight with you and me."

"True, very true Rose. Want to play a match?" Kirihara asked pointing to an empty court.

Rose looked over and shrugged her shoulders. Kirihara took that as a 'yes' and grabbed her arm dragging her over to the empty court.

The tennis regulars looked and told the non-regulars to keep practicing. The tennis regulars walked over to the court that Rose and Kirihara went to and kept hidden. They knew that Rose didn't trust them fully yet, but they couldn't tell why. One person had his suspicion, but that was just it…a suspicion.

Kirihara was serving first and thought 'I know I can't go easy on her. Might as well start with it if I want to beat her.' Kirihara threw the ball up and served his famous 'knuckle serve.' Everyone thought he was going crazy if he was serving 'that' serve at the girl.

Kirihara knew what Rose could and could not return with his play. He couldn't say the same for Rose though. He didn't know her true weaknesses. She would always mess around with her play to show different weaknesses in each game.

Rose smirked as Kirihara served. She put a leg behind her before pulling back her arm like she did when she saved Kirihara from being punched by Higure earlier. Turning the racquet around for a reverse grip, she threw her arm forward and matched the 'knuckle serve' before it hit her and returned it back towards Kirihara's weak spot. She had one thought going through her mind…'This…is going to be fun,' she thought with a small grin as she continued playing the match.

~Time Skip~ After the Match

Kirihara was seen on the ground panting out with Rose on one knee breathing heavily. The score was 7-6…Rose's win. That wasn't the surprising part though. The surprising part was that the game lasted a good three hours with a tiebreak somewhere around…50 or so.

"Dang it…Rose…you… never…let me win…" Kirihara panted out while struggling to get back to his feet.

"Aw be quiet Akaya-kun. I haven't…played tennis…in a few years…you…are definitely stronger…than the last time…I kicked your butt," Rose said through a smirk.

Kirihara tensed up before his left eye started to twitch in annoyance. He forced himself to get up and walked over to Rose with a hand turned into a fist.

Rose looked up to see Kirihara throwing a punch at her. She tensed up and closed her eyes. But after she didn't feel any pain, she cracked an eye open to see Kirihara pointing at her shirt. She raised an eyebrow in confusion before looking down at her shirt only to have Kirihara bring his finger up and flick her on the nose. She flinched slightly and blinked her eyes in confusion. She then closed her eyes tightly in annoyance and growled out, "Kirihara…"

Kirihara gulped in fear because Rose never called him by his last name unless she was in a playful mood. He started to back up a bit before Rose pounced on him, putting him in a headlock. "Kirihara!" Rose growled out before ruffling his hair with a grin on her face. She had him in a headlock and was behind him to make sure he couldn't get away. After a while of ruffling his hair, Rose let go only to pounce onto his back giving him a hug from behind…a really tight one at that.

Kirihara had the air knocked out of him when Rose came and hugged him. "Rose…can't…breathe…"

Rose reluctantly let go with a small grin on her face.

Kirihara started taking deep breaths trying to gain some air in his lungs. "Note…to self…never…make Rose mad…again," he emphasized the 'again' in that sentence.

Rose silently giggled while watching Kirihara learn how to breathe again. She walked over to him and got something out of her pocket. She went in front of Kirihara with a wide smile and then opened her eyes to reveal a small glare meant to intimidate him and show not to mess with her. She lightly punched him in the stomach…ok not so light considering he opened his mouth from the pain, and popped a small candy into the boy's mouth.

Kirihara swallowed the small candy and noted that it tasted a bit like mint. He stood back up before realizing that he didn't feel tired and saw Rose taking a small candy as well. Kirihara smiled at Rose before giving her a hug and left towards the other regulars.

Rose smiled as she watched Kirihara walk back over to the other regulars. 'Glad that the soldier pill works on people without chakra as well. Got to tell the other Jinchuuriki that as well,' she thought, and she did so. By the time that Rose had finished telling the other Jinchuuriki about the effects of the soldier pill on regular people, she noticed that the regulars had walked over to her with grins on their faces with Kirihara having a look of confusion on his face.

Rose looked at the team with an eyebrow raised before shrugging and moving out of their way to get to her bag. She didn't see the regulars stop as she walked past them and the look of surprise on their faces as she continued past them. Rose wasn't paying attention to that. She was paying attention to the different rings on her fingers. She saw the orange ring for Naruto blinking that he was doing fine. The same message was being sent through the eight other colored rings. Brown for Killer Bee, white for Fu, blue for Utakata, crimson for Han, teal for Roshi, green for Yagura, purple for Yugito, and tan for Gaara. She smiled and sent the message that she was fine through all of the rings to give to her friends.

Rose didn't notice that she had stopped packing her equipment and looked spaced-out, but the tennis regulars did. The regulars and Rose were the only ones left at practice because the non-regulars left for home seeing how long Kirihara's and Rose's match had gone on.

Rose didn't notice anything around her until she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around so fast and swung out her arm just to stop it before it reached Kirihara's head. She blinked twice before her face lit up in embarrassment and pulled her arm away from Kirihara. "Sorry Akaya-kun. Didn't notice you there, sorry," she said rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. Her lips were in a small pout hoping that Kirihara would accept the apology which he did.

The rest of the tennis regulars finally let out the breath they had and decided to tell Rose and Kirihara the good news.

Yukimura walked up to the two and said, "Congratulations Rose."

Rose and Kirihara blinked at him before yelling out, "Huh?"

"You are now a regular for your match against Kirihara-kun. Aren't you glad Rose-chan?" Yukimura said with a smile on his face.

Kirihara's and Rose's face lit up in happiness before Rose jumped towards Kirihara and glomped him in a hug. She yelled out, "Thank you Yukimura-buchou!"

The others could only smile at the girls antics. There was only one person who wasn't.

Marui was a bit concerned about Rose's strength. He thought 'No girl should have that amount of strength no matter how much she trained. She was even messing with Kirihara during some of those matches. What is up with that girl? Her moves…they look like…they could be used…in a fight. Why is that? Why did she have to wipe her thumb across the gates and the door to her mansion before we ever go inside? And that time…with the freezer…how did she get us all back to her mansion in such a quick time when we were unconscious. Why is it that this girl seems to have a secret…a very dangerous one at that if I'm thinking right…bah! Might as well think on it later,' he finished by popping his gum. "So where are we going to bunk tonight. Original homes or at Rose's freaking huge mansion?"

The regulars looked at each other before looking at Rose. Rose blinked twice before sighing and grabbing her bag motioning her head towards the direction where her house was. Ever since that first visit to Rose's mansion, the group loved to come over to Rose's mansion and explore the different wings. They had been to her house about five times now on the weekends and still got lost in the mansion. It was surprising how Rose didn't get lost in it to begin with.

Rose looked back to see the regulars getting their bags as well. "You coming slowpokes or what?" she asked teasingly. "Last person there has to clean up tomorrow morning since there is no school tomorrow!" she yelled before dashing off.

The regulars widened their eyes before rushing off after the girl. The weekends that they had been over at Rose's house, they always threw some form of a small party and the last person who reached the girl's house had to clean up the mess…in all the areas of the house.

Rose got there quickly due to her speed over the boys and quickly unsealed the gates and door before the rest of the group got there. She saw the regulars breathing a bit heavily before ushering them into the house and sat them down in the couch of the first living room they got to. Rose went and opened her bag once again and pulled out eight small green pieces of candy. She gave one to each of the regulars and told them to eat it. Once the group did, they felt a bit better and not as tired as before.

Rose smirked at them and inwardly yelled 'Yes! The soldier pills work!' She told them all to lie down for a bit while she got some food for the regulars. Because of their visits and because they grabbed the same thing over and over again, she knew what to get them to eat. She inwardly smiled at the thought of having the tennis regulars over at her house again.
