"Ne, Mura buchou and Misao-chan are you two going out?"

Niiou tensed up when Marui asked the question. The two people in question just stared at each other and started laughing.

"What makes you think that?"

"Well you two are close with each other and some times you fight like a couple"

They started laughing even harder and Misao waved her hand,"Sei-chan is my cousin"

Niou felt relieved yet he didn't know why.

Chapter 4

The alarm clock rang loudly as Misao ran her hands along the table in attempt to switch the annoying clock off, why? You ask, well that's because she had morning practice. She grumbled as she got out of bed, took a quick shower and then made a sandwich which she ate on her way to school. Today, she didn't wear her fake glasses 'cause there was no point in wearing them anymore.

When she went to the tennis courts, she saw that most of the regulars were already practicing. "Misao, you're late" Sanada called out.

"Gomen, I overslept"

"30 laps"

"Ehh! Why?"

"50 laps"

"Why?!"

"Because you're late"

"Che"

While Misao was running her laps, she spotted Niou who finally arrived. As expected, he also received laps. The two were running their final lap together. Yukimura came up to Misao when she was drinking her water and asked her to prepare a training menu for the rest of the club. What he didn't notice was the sadistic smirk she had on for a second.

"All right, everyone gather here!" Yukimura called. When everyone came and got into a line he announced. "Today we're going to follow Misao's training menu instead of Renji's"

"Yay, we won't have to suffer Yanagi's horrid training menu" someone whispered. Yanagi was kinda interested, Marui was chewing his usual bubblegum, Niou just smirked, Yagyuu didn't react and Kirihara's face went pale. "YADDA" he yelled at the top of his lungs.

Everyone turned to look at him. "Is there something wrong?" asked Yukimura.

"Please, I'll even do twice of the usual training, just don't let Misao coach."

In the end Kirihara's wish didn't come true instead they followed Misao's training. First off they doubled the weights they had on and then they ran 30 laps as warm up. After they finished there laps which they had to complete in 15 minutes, they had to do 50 squats, 100 push- ups, 100 sit- ups, ankle stretch 50 times on each foot, ankle turn 50 times on each foot, and finally, they played matches in their tired bodies. By the end of morning practice, everyone had already regretted letting her train them.

The bell rang and it was finally start of school. Most people barely had the energy to walk to class.

"You are really a demon!" Niou stated.

She smiled in a innocent way "You should be glad I only gave you guys half the amount my old team did"

"Your old team?"

"No, nothing. I'm just saying you should be glad that I did the same training as you guys"

"How do you even survive?"

"Who knows"

~-~-~-~-~

The day went by fairly quickly. Then after school they had afternoon practice, once again they followed Misao's training for the second time, some had even ended up lying on the court for half an hour before changing and going home. Niou and Marui who were the last ones to leave had to lock up. When they were leaving, they heard sounds of tennis ball hitting the wall by the street tennis courts and decided to go and take a look. They were surprised to see Misao there. She was hitting the ball repeatedly, faster and harder each time and soon she added another two balls in the process, but then suddenly one of the balls hit her right arm where she still had a bruise and she yelped in pain as the other two balls followed and hit her left leg and the other grazed her shoulder when she fell. She held back her tears and picked up the ball and started hitting it again.

"Where does she get all her strength from?" asked Marui.

"dunno" Niou answered, eyes still fixed on Misao.

"She did the same amount of training as us and she's still practicing"

"Whatever, let's go home"

~-~-~-~-~

Misao decided to take a break and went to get a drink, but then she met a girl who was wearing a Rikkai Dai uniform holding a racquet and hit the ball repeatedly against the wall.

'She's pretty good, her form is flawless and she has a pretty good sense' Misao thought to herself as she observed the brunette haired girl. The girl noticed Misao looking at her and stopped. Misao walked up to her and smiled, "You're good at tennis" she stated.

"Thank You"

"Do you attend Rikkai Dai? I've never seen you before"

"I'm starting tomorrow"

"I see, which year?"

"Third"

"That's the same as me"

"Really?

"The truth is I also only started two weeks ago"

"I'm so glad, I was kinda nervous about going to a new school"

"What's your name?"

"Zaizen Kiri"

"Mine's Misao, but at school everyone calls me Maiko"

"Then do you play tennis as well?"

"Yeah"

"Please keep the fact that I play tennis a secret"

"… okay"

She smiled again. "Thank you"

Kiri looked at her watch, "Oh no! I gotta go home!" and she starts running, "See you tomorrow!"

"Yeah, hope we're in the same class!"

The next day at school…

Kiri PoV

This is my first day at Rikkai, I'm so nervous. Yesterday I met Maiko- chan, she said that she was from Rikkai and she seemed pretty nice. I hope everyone's like her. I got my schedule from the office and headed for my class. When I turned a corner, someone came rushing in my direction and was headed straight for me, but I luckily managed to dodge him and he ran past me and turned his head around while still running. "Sorry, I don't wanna be late for class."he apologised. I watched as the red haired boy's figure faded in the distance.

After that, I found my classroom and went in and um… well let's see… I think I interrupted their class. The teacher turned around and looked at me. "Come in"

"Sorry, I got lost."

"It doesn't matter, it's your first day here!" she said politely. "Please introduce yourself"

"Zaizen Kiri, yoroshiku."

"Well we don't have time for questions so please ask her at break."

When I lifted my head I saw the same girl from yesterday. "You may go and sit in the desk behind Niou." The teacher informed me.

I don't know why, but for some reason I couldn't help, but feel people glaring at me. I looked at the teacher blankly.

"Oh right, Niou kun-please raise your hand" I walked towards my desk and I passed Misao- chan's desk and said hi to her in which she smiled and said hi back.
