{EDITED, 6/30/2012}
Ryoga shot his sister a confusing look. For some strange reason, Ryoma was acting different when she came back home from summer practice and Ryoga couldn't quite put a finger into why.
Ryoma sighed for the umpteenth time.
"What happened?" Asked Ryoga for the 3rd time since she boringly stared at the starry sky, the stars were twinkling. And for the 3rd time, he saw her sister blushing.
Was she?
Ryoga smirked and finally got the picture.
"Who is it?" He asked in some demanding tone.
Ryoma cocked a brow at him.
"Wha?"
"Who is it?" Ryoga asked again.
Ryoma tilted her head to the side as she stared at her brother.
"Who is what?"
Ryoga snickered.
"The lucky boy that made my Chibisuke blush?" He stated.
Ryoma was startled and blushed at his statement then quickly ran to her room. Ryoga laughed at her reaction.
"Har har, That little girl sure grows up fast."
THWACK!
"I-iittaiii!"
With a 'thud', Ryoga was on the floor rubbing his sore head where a pillow just hit him.
"WHO ARE YA' CALLING LITTLE YOU PERVERTED ANIKI!"
As days passed, summer ended quickly and here is Ryoma in front of Seishun Gakuen, now on her first day of being a junior in Seishun Gakuen.
Tezuka, Oishi, Kawamura, Inui, Fuji and Eiji are now studying high school in the high school department of the school, the middle school department which is just 15 minutes walk away from the high school department .
They are all joining the high school tennis team whilst Kaido was now the buchou and Ryoma the fukubuchou of the team.
Ryoma wasn't the buchou because for the mere fact she was a GIRL, Ryoma twitched in annoyance at that so-called fact. A girl joining a boys tennis team is allowed, the girl can just choose whether to join the girls or boys team and Ryoma chose the boys because the girls team seems like they're not really serious.
And now here, Ryoma was wearing the girl's uniform because by now, the whole school knew her oh so secret. Truth to be told, she really didn't want to wear the girl's uniform of the school but no, her family said she needs to act like a true girl now that she in her puberty stage. Yeah riiiiiiight.
The boys stared and whistled while the girls glared, others look in admiration as she walked pass them, ignoring them by the way.
After a few minutes of walking, ignoring and avoiding, she arrived at her class. (Her class is 2-1) She sat at the back seat, beside the window to avoid rabid FAN BOYS and FAN GIRLS plus sluts/whores who thought Ryoma joined the tennis team just to be close with the oh so worshipped regulars.
"Tezuka Kirihira desu, Yoroshiku." A girl beside her said.
Ryoma shrugged. "Echizen Ryoma."
The girl giggled and smiled.
"Not the type to talk much eh? I really know someone like that."
Ryoma turned her head to examine her and she was surprised.
Ryoma's first impression was that Kirihira is really a natural beauty, not like the sluttish girls who have a disliking towards her. Not like she care much about them. She has wavy brown hair like Tezuka, her hair length was just below her shoulder blades. Her glimmering eyes were hazel brown and a smile was attached on her face. Her uniform was worn like a student role model not like those girls who have so short skirts and tight uniform. She was taller than Ryoma though and Ryoma ignored this fact.
In other words, Ryoma had taken a liking towards her. For the first time, Ryoma actually liked someone with the first impression
"What's your relation to Tezuka buchou?"
Kirihira grinned and made a V-sign while winking.
"He's my ever stoic and annoying to the max aniki."
Ryoma held her laughter.
"Pfffftttt!"
Both students became friends and talked about many things like their oh so mighty brother as they waited for the teacher to come in and the class to start. They became so close in one day that Kirihira would describe and treated her like a sister already. They called each other by their first names.
Morning classes passed by in a flash with introductions and free times here and there.
The two ate their bentos filled with love from their mothers in the rooftop. Ryoma toured Kirihira around the school after for the fact she came from outside the country and not used to the new environment.
There will be no classes in the afternoon but try outs for clubs in the school.
"Ne Ryo-chan, which club are you joining?" Kirihira pouted.
Ryoma blinked.
"Me? I'm the fukubuchou of the tennis team oh, I gotta go there now. Kaido and Momo senpai would kill me if I'm late." She said in a slight panicking tone as she looked at the time, Kirihira laughed and waved her a bye before Ryoma ran to her destination.
Ryoma panted as she arrived at the tennis courts.
"Senpai Tachhi….Gomen…..I'm late." She muttered between breaths. Momo laughed and told her to change which she did so anyway without being told. Kaido shrugged and watched the sign ups.
"Echizen, we're picking regulars today." Momo stated, Ryoma looked at him as if he was an insane person.
"Already? And give me a good reason why does it have to be today? Did Ryuuzaki sensei approved it?"
Momo smiled at her question.
"Nothing, I just have a good feeling. Oh and let's change our ways to pick a regular for this month only, your choice on how. And yes, she did. She can't be here right now, important business she says."
Ryoma was confused but lifted the thought off her head. She went inside the courts, took a deep breath and…
"OKAY! EVERYBODY, LINE UP! WE ARE GOING TO CHOOSE THE REGULARS TODAY. THE RULES ARE SIMPLE, PLAY A ONE SET MATCH WITH KAIDO, ME OR MOMO AND WE WILL SEE WHO CAN HAVE GOOD POTENTIAL TO BE A REGULAR. UNDERSTOOD!" She shouted, Momo sweat dropped.
"HAI!"
Ryoma smirked just then Momo felt a chill ran to his spine.
"Let the games begin."
After some minutes. . .
Many were by now panting on the ground.
Momo sighed.
"Mamushi, have mercy on them."
"Fssshhh. . ." Kaido hissed.
Ryoma was pissed by now.
"Why aren't there any person in this school who have some potential as a tennis player and regular?" She complained, her arms crossed over her chest.
"You too Echizen, have mercy on them…"
"Che, Whatever. OKAY NEXT PLAYER!" Ryoma shouted then left to drink some water.
Said person walked into the courts, Kaido stared at him.
"I'm not going easy on you blondy." He hissed.
The person smirked.
"Be my guest."
Kaido served.
Meanwhile . . .
Ryoma sighed, she was so stressed. She quickly washed her face with the cool water, just then her phone rang. She pulled it out from her pocket and answered it.
"Moshi moshi?"
"Ryo-chan~!" Kirihira chimed at the other line.
"Hmm? Strange for you to call Kiri-chan."
Kirihira giggled.
"I just called to inform you that I joined the music club!"
Ryoma smiled.
"Hontou? I never knew you had such talent, so what do you play anyway?"
"All sorts of instruments." Kirihira smirked and Ryoma jaw dropped.
"NANI! H-how can you play so many instruments!"
Kirihira winced a little at her voice. 'I knew this was coming.' She thought with a giggle.
"I already held all sorts of instruments since I knew how to hold one. You know that I come from England silly. Remember? My baka aniki still doesn't know I'm here."
"Aa, I never knew that. Why in England?"
"Hate to admit it but I came from such rich family and I escaped the oh so grand life of mine a while just to have some fun here in Japan."
"Aa, sou ka. . . Oi, don't go English on me now." Ryoma pouted. Kirihira laughed.
"Why? Your fluent in English. . ."
"Never mind. . . Gotta go Kiri-chan. Ja ne."
Ryoma stifled a giggle and was about to slip her phone back to her pocket when another call came. She furrowed her eye brows and answered it.
"Moshi moshi?"
"Aa, Chibisuke…"
Ryoma rolled her eyes at the caller.
"What do you want aniki? She spat.
Ryoga laughed at the other line, a smirk on his face.
"Just to inform you that Kevin's there."
And the call ended, Ryoma jaw dropped for the second time of the day.
"What the! Kevin's here? Wait, it must be…" She said as she ran to the courts to find a panting Kaido and Kevin.
"Game and Match, Kaido, 6 games to 4."
Both gave a hand shake before Ryoma tackled Kevin into a head lock. Kaido sweatdropped, he got out from her grip and went to drink some water.
"Oi R-Ryoma! I can e-explain." Kevin held out both hands protectively.
"Explain your ass." Ryoma said before dragging Kevin to the sides and suddenly hugging him which startled him.
"I missed you silly." Kevin smiled before returning the hug.
"Same ol', same ol'."
Momo faked a cough as to interrupt the reunion of the two best friends. Both blushed and broke the hug.
"Aa, that means Kevin will be a regular then. Four more to go, Momo senpai… please switch places with Kaido senpai."
Momo nodded before going to the courts.
After another 6 matches.
"Oi Momo, have some mercy too, Fssshhh…" Kaido hissed.
Momo snickered.
"Says who.."
"What did you say!"
"You looking for a fight mamushi!"
"Nani! Say that again."
"You looking for a fight, MAMUSHI!"
"Arghhh!"
Ryoma twitched in annoyance at her senpais' behavior.
THWACK, THWACK!
Kevin sweat dropped.
"While both of you are bickering, somebody is waiting in the courts." She said with a glare and both gulped in fear, beads of sweats ran down their necks as they behaved and Momo grabbed his racket then went to the courts.
The person stared at Momo boringly.
"Let's have a fun game." Momo grinned in a mocking tone.
"Please do." His opponent muttered and yawned.
After 15 minutes. .
"Game and Match, Momoshiro, 6-3."
Momo smiled.
"Not bad, you have potential."
"Su-Sugee~!" He happily replied and followed Momo to the sides where Kaido, Ryoma and Kevin are.
"Okay, 3 more to go…" Momo grinned.
"He looks familiar…" Ryoma mumbled as she stared closely at the boy.
His messy brown hair was sticking out in all direction but at the same time made him look hot. His eye color was brown and he was about the same height as Momo, the height part made Ryoma awkward.
"Akutagawa Kudo, Yoroshiku." He said before he fell to the ground, totally asleep. All sweat dropped at him.
"So that's why he's familiar… He's the otouto of that Akutagawa Jirou from Hyotei." Ryoma mumbled.
"Ne, are you going to let your next opponent wait!" a too familiar sweet voice was heard, too familiar... Ryoma looked at the courts to see the next player smiling at her.
Ryoma gasped.
"Kirihira-chan! You play tennis too?" Ryoma asked and Kirihira smiled.
Momo answered for her.
"But of course, she's Tezuka buchou's imouto. A great imouto he has."
"Aa, is she good?" Ryoma asked again.
Momo shrugged.
"Saa, who knows. I never saw her play even once but I heard that she's a tensai too."
Ryoma stared at Kirihira for a while.
"I thought you joined the music club."
Kirihira smiled and nodded.
"Can't I join tennis too?" She said in a challenging tone.
Ryoma smirked and grabbed her racket then proceeded to the courts to face Kirihira who was smirking also at her.
"Momo senpai, do me a favor and let me play this time." Ryoma grinned and Momo just nodded in approval.
"Please don't go easy on me." Kirihira said in a mockingly as she held her racket in her right hand.
"I won't." Ryoma grinned and held her racket in her right hand also.
"Which?"
Kirhira's face turned to a smile.
"Smooth."
Ryoma twisted her racket and it was….. smooth. Both went to their positions.
"One set match, Tezuka to serve."
Kirihira smiled and looked at the umpire who was Arai.
The ball rolled behind Ryoma and stared at it as if it came out of nowhere and that magic happened. Ryoma stared at Kirihira in pure shock.
"Ne Arai-kun, please count." She sweetly snapped out Arai in his trance.
"Uhh.. err.. 1-15 love."
"Blind Serve." Kirhira simply stated.
"She sure is damn good." Kevin muttered unconsciously.
"Hell yeah." Momo added.
"May be better than Tezuka buchou.." Kaido stated.
"30 love."
Kirhira smiled once again, Momo laughed.
"Really, this girl smiles too much. Is she and Tezuka buchou really siblings? They have opposite personalities, Tezuka is stoic but this girl.." He whistled. "Not only is she a tensai, she is too damn hot and a real beauty to be exact."
"Who?" A voice said behind him and Momo stiffened as he recognized the voice. He turned around and came face to face with Tezuka.
"Aa, Tezuka buchou.." Despite the fact Tezuka wasn't their buchou anymore, they still respected him and called him buchou. "N-Nice to see you again." He stammered and Tezuka furrowed his eyebrows.
"Wh-"
"40 love."
"Uwah! That girl is good." Eiji excitedly exclaimed as he watched the match. The other former regulars also came with Tezuka. They exchanged greetings and watched the match after.
"Game, Tezuka Kirihira, one game to love." (Correct me if I'm wrong)
The newcomers all perked their ears as they heard the name Tezuka, they looked at Tezuka too see him wide eyed. They were surprised to at least see him shock.
People started to gather and a crowd started as to watch the match between the two females on the courts.
"You sure are good Kiri-chan." Ryoma grinned as she adjusted her cap.
"Mada Mada Dane."
Ryoma positioned herself as she bounce the ball then threw it to the air. She hitted the ball towards the other side as it twisted, Kirihira avoided it as the ball was about to collide with her face.
"15 love."
She smiled widely and looked at Ryoma.
"Not bad.. A very polished Twist Serve."
Ryoma smirked and bounced the ball again.
"There's more to come."
She said and threw the ball into the air, she hit a Twist Serve again but Kirihira returned it this time.
Ryoma hit a drop shot.
In a blink, Kirihira was in front of the net lobbed the ball. Ryoma jumped into the air.
"There it is! CYCLONE SMASH!" Horio, Katsuo and Kachirou shouted.
Kirihira smirked and closed her eyes as Ryoma twisted her body and did her Cyclone Smash.
She opened her eyes.
The ball landed just before the line then it bounced outside.
"15 all!"
Everyone outside the courts gasped.
Fuji opened his eyes, Tezuka was watching carefully, Kawamura and Oishi widened their eyes, Momo grinned, Kaido hissed and Eiji jumped up and down as he got more and more excited by the match. Inui scribbled on his notebook.
"Hi-Higuma Otoshi?"
"Sugee..."
"She returned the fukubuchou's Cyclone Smash."
"She's really good."
"That girl just did a Higuma Otoshi.."
Kirihira smiled then moved her racket around lightly.
"Heh.. Not bad for me for using it since I saw it yesterday from a weird guy who has his eyes closed and was also smiling.."
The crowd gasped.
"First time..? is she a monster..?"
"Woah.."
Outside the courts, Fuji's smile twitched.
"Not bad but does she have to call me that.."
Ryoma grinned and switched to her dominant hand.
"Why don't you get serious too Kiri-chan?"
Kirihira smirked and switched to her left hand too.
"Ara? Left hand?"
"What is she?"
"Kakoi!.."
Kirihira grinned.
"A pleasure to be serious Ryo-chan." She challenged.
"Sure thing." Ryoma said before serving.
"Game and Match, Echizen Ryoma, 7 games to 5."
Ryoma frowned as she approached Kirihira and shook hands with her.
"Ne Kiri-chan, how many percent of your so-called seriousness is there?"
Kirihira giggled.
"Himitsu~"
Just then, a certain stoic buchou approached Kirihira. The others trailed behind Tezuka.
"You…" He muttered and flicked her forehead.
"I-itai! Mou aniki, don't spoil my fun.." Kirihira pouted and she suddenly hugged Tezuka, startling him. Tezuka smiled at her action.
"I miss you too.." Tezuka muttered and returned the hug back.
Fuji and the others smiled at the scene.
Ryoma blushed when Fuji averted his gaze at her, he mentally laughed at her reaction and was about to approach her when..
"Hoi, hoi~ sorry to spoil the reunion but we are the next one here." Two voices muttered behind them. All looked behind them to see two identical boys. One was grinning, his blue eyes sparkled with joy whilst the other was scowling. Both are taller than Kirihira and Ryoma, but slightly shorter than Kudo.
Now, that made Ryoma twitch in annoyance at their difference in height.
"Ara, twins?" Kirihira jumped up and down excitedly like Eiji much to Ryoma's annoyance. "Kawaii!" She exclaimed as she hugged the scowling twin. The said twin blushed and pushed her away gently.
"Higashi Ryuuji desu, Yoroshiku." The grinning twin introduced his self then he pointed at his brother, "My twin, Higashi Ryou."
Said twin nodded in greeting.
"Let me play, let me play them~ Can I ochibi?" The ever high on sugar redheaded senpai pleaded. Ryoma sighed, she knew if she wouldn't agree to her senpai's pleading she would be bothered by him for days or worse, for months.
She nodded in approval as Eiji took his racket and Oishi by the hand, excitedly dragging him to the courts like a little child with the twins in tow.
"This is going to be a looooong day."
The day ended and the regulars were chosen.
Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru from class 3-2.
Akutagawa Kudo and the Higashi twins from class 3-1.
Kevin Smith from class 2-3.
Echizen Ryoma and Tezuka Kirihira from class 2-1.
And they finally decided to add another addition to the regulars, Tsukimori Shiki from class 2-2 who was also taller than Ryoma.
Ryoma was now very pissed by the fact that all were taller than her and that she's the shortest in the club despite being the fukubuchou.
All were now in the clubroom, talking to each other with an exception of a sleeping Kudo. The former regulars already left because they had some urgent matters to attend.
Kirihira stood up and took her violin case in one hand and her tennis bag in the other.
"Aa, I have to go, there is a meeting in the music club." She smiled as she looked at her watch. Ryou stood up also because his twin suddenly nudged his side with his elbow.
Kirihira looked at him, he was blushing. Ryuuji and Momo snickered as they secretly gave each other glances.
"U-uhh…" Ryou stammered, Kirihira smiled and pulled him over.
"Thanks." She said and kissed his cheeks which made him even redder. Ryuu carried her tennis bag for her and both left. Ryoma shot the two culprits a glare.
"Hehehe.." They sweat dropped.
"If something happens, both of you are dead." She threatened , Momo and Ryuuji gulped.
"Haha, nothing will happen… we assure you." Momo said.
"You better." Ryoma said before continuing at whatever thingy she's doing.
Momo and Ryuuji sighed in relief.
'She sure is scary.' Both thought with a chill.
That's all. I do admit I am not that really good and I think myself that I'm not a good writer also.. I'm just a begginer and I love to read and write stories. I also love listening to my friends' life.. I need improvement and I learn by watching, reading, studying and be a good student. One person that inspires me would be my English teacher who was a successful man. He learns a lot of languages, he graduated from a very good university and he's in charge of the Guild Theater Club so I was really inspired by him. He has such talent that I also wished to have. Truth to be told, I'm not that really talented and am still learning. So please forgive me for the wrong grammars and spelling. Also the story, I kinda got lost and Haven't updated it dor I while.. Please Stay tune for the next chapter.. I really do appreciate for the reviews I got.. My heart feels lighter..
Thank you to those who read my stories.
R and R =)
